Agree with decent AI - perhaps with something akin to GPL's Global Hype so that AI get better (faster) when you do?

Tracks converted from games

Does GBoR recognise time based records for computer games? iirc they stopped recording (purely) time based sporting records a long time ago?

Anyway - count me out - I can't stay awake 24 hours never mind any longer

Thanks for the suggestions/comments.

Think I'm going to hang on in there & save some pennies for a mass upgrade of components rather than tinker with things right now

Quote from TRM.13 :

WE NEED MORE RALLYCROSS TRACKS! :grumpy:

:iagree:

I didn't but LFS for rallycross & wasn't particularly interested in it till I tried it... now I'm hooked Possibly because it's something 'a bit different' and not available elsewhere.

Quote from BlueLine :

Once you get past a certain point, the video card you're using doesn't make much difference with LFS. A lot of people will be better off with a CPU upgrade instead.

That's one of life recurring questions: cpu or gpu upgrade? And one I'm at right now as I don't know what might benefit me most?

Athlon XP2400+ & GF4 Ti (4200)
512Mb ram (2100 - old board)

Toying with should I upgrade to a 6600GT (AGP) or ditch the lot, save up & buy new board, memory (faster & probably a gig) and a 6600GT (though now a pcie version) - that would be six months off

Any suggestions/comments??

Amazed I havent replied to this one yet....

... That should reduce the flaming, at least a little bit.

Flaming - I want huge afterburner flaming coming out the 'pipes

A classic Top Gear moment when Hammond 'calculated' that the fuel tank on a Ford GT wasn't big enough to get Clarkson from home to the studio...

Last Saturday night I recorded the Bathurst 1000 & I'm slowly working my way through it an hour of so each evening (after Mrs K has gone to bed) - not finished yet (50 laps left to ogo), so no spoilers please.

Anyhow, this morning I was trying to work out the fuel consumption from the commentary (so anybody with better information please speak up - I dont want to search for info in case I see the result).

So we have:

1. 1000 km race
2. 120 litre fuel tanks
3. Teams talked about a 4 stop race (so thats 5 tank fills)

so 1000 /120 / 5 / 1.60 * 4.54 = 4.8 mpg

Now thats for a big V8 & making lots of assumptions (some of which may be wrong).

My occupation is usually listed as 'University Administrator' - just don't ask me to describe what I do...

Quote from PistonHead :

Sorry a bit OT - Call me an old git, but what does l33t mean !?

Thanks for asking that PistonHead - I'd been wondering that for ages but was too afraid to ask...

Quote from axus :

What happens if you are at a party and a chick you like asks you "What have you been up to today?"... If you spent the whole day playing LFS its sometimes a difficult situation to be in. I'm sure most of us have been there done that.

Before I could answer - my wife would interject with "oh, he's been playing LFS all day..."

Quote from stratocaster :

I didn`t feel old untill I started reading this thread,:tombstone

At the grand old age of 52,am I the oldest fart playing LFS?

Well, you've got 11 years on me

I think short (5 - 10 minute) races are appealing to the younger audience too. cf (say) in GPL you have 30 mins qual followed by a 20 minute race & you're pushing an hour...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Well he's 2 years late already then!! Start 'em young!

Actually....
he loves the BL car park - I do the pedals & he does the steering

However....
he's a wrecker and we have to bash the car up so better keep him off-line for a while

Quote from Gunn :

Lots of Dads in LFS.

One here

Can't wait for my son (3) to be old enough to race against
