It's a 1996 Fiesta, I paid £400 for it back in January and had another £200 of work done on it, and actually in the rail fares it's saved me it has more than paid for itself, but I think it's a waste of time to test it and frankly I don't want to drive it for another year and nor does my girlfriend.

As I said there's the brakes and tyres to replace, also one rear door won't open (part of the mechanism is loose inside the door somewhere), it's got no power steering (and I've currently got a shoulder problem which I think the car is causing), no air con, no central locking, it has to be double-clutched to get into reverse and sometimes it sticks in first or reverse and I have to turn the engine off (or stall it) to get it back into neutral, it drinks a quart of oil each month, the fans make a loud grinding noise for a minute after starting the car, It's got bends and scrapes in every panel, it loses power to the stereo sometimes when I turn it off, the rear seat no longer latches in the seat position - it slides around, there's just loads of reasons to scrap it.

It has started every time though, so I feel a bit bad.

post on local ford club site... you should get just over scrap price & someone gets a parts car... everyone wins no ?

i might get this on Xbox due to freebies & i only really enjoy the manager mode

simple answer... no.

Quote from kappa007 :

Few months ago my friends account got hacked. After few days later he retrived his account. But he was wondering how it is possible to
steal account like that and asked me for help. He said he didn't downloaded any supsticious hacks etc. After a bit longer talk with
him I've discovered he used rev limiter mod downloaded from THIS FORUM, which he thought its perfectly safe, as its used by thousands
of people. I've take a bit deeper look at this mod and this mod does not work by pressing non stop I (ignition) when revs are high,
it acctualy write to byte used to save ignition state of engine. so OK this can be helpfull as it can work also while you are chating,
but its a bit hacky way to do it. next thing I noticed when first starting this mod why windows tells you firewall blocked some features
of this application. why would simple revlimiter mod need internet connection to server (not LFS server) ? (used NetLimiter 3 to found connection) I was like WTF. googled a bit
how to see which addresses were accessed, found program for freezing proccesses, froze LFS, run memory scaning tool. after few seconds
I've got list of addresses accessed, there was lots of bytes about engine state, trothle position, and string which contains my GAME
PASSWORD. (0x0097F8B4) WTF? Why this application need my GAME PASSWORD to work? Application already created connection to server and
can easy upload my password. I've instantly sent mail to developers, but till this day still no reply. I PM'ed creater of application,
why this program need to access my game password, and reply was "demo racers..."
This wouldnt happen if password is kept encrypted in memory. why even decrypting pass localy? ... I tried this way in WOW and rFactor,
passwords are kept encrypted in memory there.
About week ago I created simple tool like rev limiter which will also create my private database of LFS GAME PASSWORDS. till now have 117 passwords.
Looking trought list here are some pass statistics:
- max password lenght 18 characters
- average 9.76 characters
- 65.81% passwords contain only numbers

Noone of passwords was used to illegaly get access to ppls accounts (well only if I dont hate account owner), and also to prove developers
how this is easy. 28 lines of code in C++ did this job. Well most of accounts are demo since they are most often users of additional tools to LFS.

No matter how complex is your password will not help you!
The only thing which can help you is: USE GAME PASSWORD DIFFERENT THAN WEB PASSWORD. then hacker wont be able to change your login details,
he will be only able to play online as long as you don't change your GAME password.

If you recently used any kind of mods/hacks etc. its highly suggested to change your account passwords.
Mods please do not delete this thread, because its very important for LFS safety and fixing security issues in LFS.

judging by your other thread you dont need lfs cause you get too much sex.

Deal with it.

Quote from Hyperactive :

But lots of sim racers have learned about iracing through magazines for example. Imho everything helps for relatively small projects like AC. While sim racing will never be mainstream it still helps to get the word to the masses even if the latest nfs is more interesting to the average joe.

they said the samme about arma... pre Dayz it was popular and a decent sim ( with ace mod.. )

don't doubt just give em a chance... if you give them the moneys either they'll invest it well or blow it in vegas... either way everyones happy.

Quote from Ales_M :

Thats 96 max. In 97 they started making mk2. Still a junk car though.

p.s I had mk3 , shity car..

their an ok tank, diesel 2 liter gets 40ish mpg which makes them ok in that sense but as a whole meh.. maybe if you paint it black and put on some spinners it'll run on dizzle ?

Quote from nikopdr :

oh you're a genious aren't you

simple instructions; complicated Objective.

I loe you niko, don't change; lfs needs more special folks like you

p.s did the special olympics get back to you yet... i hear they need benchwarmers

Quote from Skytrill :

Thanks to DayZ the waiting for the new LFS patch is much easier .

dayz is boring compared to other mods though... all the suspense only to be noob'd by a crew of guys who end up going rouge on each other, you dominate them you get banned from the server...

OT: did this guy get found out yet ?

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Who gives a shi* if IGN will like it.

>gets in public domain

> more peoples gives dev's money

> more stuff for game

> more noobs to beat


common sense no ? its no promise that this Will happen but if you don't try you'll never succeed

vista is your first issue, second is that version of the game and the mod version directly compatible ?

after that check that directorys have been set correctly, run the game in safe mode etc.

who cares about smart phones, all tey do is drink all your moneys due to the simple fact that Andriod just does't work, or atleast not in this current edition of it.

ill stick to old nokias till somethin worth while comes out.

Quote from Bean0 :

The Gallardo has what, 500-600 bhp ?

A 2 litre turbocharged boxer from an Impreza can be made to have that, so a 3 litre twin turbo should be able to as well I would have thought.

its not only power, but its the simple fact that in a 500 hp subaru its rough but able, in a 500 hp lambroghini its smooth, comfortable even!

flat 8 would be a chugger of a lump... more at home in a toyota liteace van where space is everything then a supercar...


why not mate 2 cosmo lumps together ?? ( you know, x2 3 rotar engines... ported and polished... no need for turbos... ) highly unpractical but feck me... it'd do some speed before you blew the seals.

i only realised ill have to go to poland to get myself parts for le 126p ( go figure... )


ill take pics of everything i see ( last time i was their their was a lancia club about... 20+ rare lancias rallying through krakow )

it looks good, im guessing you need quite a decent pc to play it but in general, if they sort snap back, drop cars quite regularly and keep active within the forum this game should be a hit...

best thing we can all do is ensure ign and the likes not only test it but give it limelight as im sick of somewhat indie made sims ( self supporting/fund raised ) not getting the press they deserve.

Quote from troy :

face -> desk

How has somebody finding an exploit anything to do with the age of the software? Just look at DayZ theres plenty of hackers around there and while it is brand new and gets updates pretty much every month they still can't get rid of them. And I very much doubt Scawen just has to change 1 bit of code to stop these kind of things happening, the only possible outcome this whole adventure will end up in is that the physics will be delayed even further because Scawen has to reverse engineer how this guy manages to beat the cheat protection.

dayz and lfs are different, with 2 lines changed i have CO for free, without any F.A.D.E, can you do that with lfs ??

if you could things would be worse so lets count our lucky stars.

Maybe not the song, but the Korea thing is true.
And there's a bit of an attitude here about our tv coverage as we take the Aussi feed.

Y ALL WE SEE IS AUSSIES LOSING ?

And, anyone ever see Hayseed Dixie ?

"Hayseed Dixie is a novelty band that issued a tribute album to heavy metal legends AC/DC in 2001 (completely reworking the Australian band's classics as country/hillbilly rave-ups), titled A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. Their sense of humor is also evident in their bio, which claims that the band hails from Deer Lick Holler, "deep in the heart of the Appalachia," where its members grew up playing the traditional hillybilly music of their forefathers. But as fate would have it, they just so happened to stumble across AC/DC's back catalog of recordings when a stranger driving through the boy's hometown crashed his car and perished, but his records were saved by Hayseed Dixie! The bandmembers of AC/DC have taken quite a liking to Hayseed Dixie, as AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams invited the band to play a set at the band's tour wrap-up party at his East Coast mountain retreat in summer 2001."

ive met them, their pretty cool alright. Pitty about all the Ac/dc covers though... their original tracks aren't too bad either... keepin your poop in a jar is a personal favorite.

@cargame, i guess you alredy made it , but just as reminder.
made a good backup off all your stats, stuff.
and yea i hope this shit whill be taking care of soon.
cya on s2!

most servers do a rolling back up no ? ( dedicated racing servers at the least )

if not, nows not a bad time to configure it

all them add ons go with the season pass bar the over rated beetle one right ?

Sexual prefference means nothing in LFS and shouldn't in teams and others.. its a racing game...

Race, crash badly in t1, die... whats the problem

loads of my friends went... absolute junkie fest ( and their a rough bunch of guys )


different strokes for different folks i guess

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Yeah, I reckon LFS would run fine on the top-end smartphones.

WANT.

especially older versions... graphically speaking.
