Quote from Woz :

I jusst dont get the problem. Are people so poor that they can't spend £12 even though they have a PC that can run LFS.

Heh, doesn't "pocket money" exist anymore? wash the parents car, empty the dishwasher & mow the lawn only a few times and Bingo! Easy money. (The rest of this post isn't directed at Woz's post)


Secondly, why do S2 users continue to feed this subject anyway? The people that wont purchase S2... well, just never will.

Much like the multitude of silly repeated topics, why do you people continue to post. feeding the issues over and over? Wouldn't it much easier for all, if only a Moderator replied with a link to a original Topic & then lock the thread?

Yep, id like to see one. Simple as that.

And honestly there isn't any need to crap on like a large percentage of you have regarding Drifting.

Quote from yueyue :

I honestly did it in a very gentle way....the rev. never goes above 4K rpm...but...that's the truth

Would you expect a normal road car in real life to enjoy that treatment over and over 30 times or so?

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

If you press the loud pedal at the same time, yes indeed!

So thats a bug then, cause it doesn't seem to heat up for me.

Question: Should holding the brakes on alittle bit or handbrake increase clutch heat?

does the /start=random command solve that issue?

Might aswell post up the oldie Stole the formatting from some guy many pages ago

Quote from The Very End :

Now THAT would be something

That wont happen

Id rather see this idea not implemented. Different weights require different settings (example: tyre pressure & camber)

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

I hope im not the only one that uses a set for qually (low fuel) (r2's low pressure) which is struggling to last 2 laps but can make you gain maybe half a second to a race set, if i went for the option id qually with my race set and lose half a second...

O no, you not the only one But aren't you referring to the tyre overheating rather than tyre wear?

Quote from Tweaker :

No point to use a PNG format anyways, Scawen decided to convert anything to DDS with its compression, so you really don't gain from having some other kind of format.... we'll always have crappy DDS from now on it seems (unfortuneately ).

Im sure the reason to move to DDS is because it can do other things for the future of LFS.

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Well, I got owned by M$ update. Just formatted my PC and went back to XP.

Any BSOD screens? There is a bug going around in Vista, from memory 0x00000124 or very close to that has this effect, sound drops from anything really (example: fullscreened game, windows media player)

The problem is it crosses over many types of hardware. nvidia & ati also onboard and pci sound cards

Quote from alland44 :

You need drifting to survive !?
You lost me at the start mate

I wouldn't say that. Although it can be a great skill to have.

I guess my point was that a lot of people can drift well when the road (corner) is clear ahead. Its in those tricky situations when it can be applied to create a better outcome. Rather than loosing complete control and dropping many positions.

I guess you could also say, its when you make the best of a bad situation. For example, your in a league race driving a rwd car. Coming into a corner while fighting for the position in front and trying to keep the guy behind where he currently is.

You might get tapped or have braked too hard or had to steer quickly avoiding the car in front... upsetting the car, while you could take the safe way out and maybe loose a position, in that split second you decide to make the most of the "out of control" car, counter-steering & adjusting the throttle which when coming out of the corner has kept your position or better while avoiding touching the cars around you.

I love a good slide as much as the next guy, its just i mainly only race in league races. Its taking what I've learnt from those fun drifting sessions & using them in the heat of the moment.

The links for me go back to the Frantic FXR poster n thread

Quote from obsolum :

It works fine in Vista Ultimate with me

Same for me, Vista Home Premium.

Quote from waider :

There is my latest personnal skin for the FZ5, I hope that look nice!!

Nice Type X 180sx Taillight area

Quote from Burnzoire :

I might make a video of a 32 car race of FXO's + RB4's + XRT's for demo users to see - it's too much fun to miss out on.

The AAL just ran a 2hr TBO race @ KY National (32 drivers). If you wanted that replay i'll upload it.

Quote from Batterypark :

...which is around £110 at www.overclockers.co.uk. Are you just trying to brag?

Hell no, its a damm good case for a number of reasons. I hadn't heard of that company until my boss and i were researching cases. We both found this to be the best case for our needs/future needs

Congrats Dev's on yet another great Patch

This new feature has just worked so well. Its cheap, when in a server the download and converting process is so so quick.

I belive the whole changing from .jpg to .dds files is just the begining of what the Dev's are going for. I did a little research and found that with DDS files alot more can be done.

The whole hi-res option has made such a difference to the game, and its all done for cheaper than a pack of smokes

*edit*
Everything the Dev's are working on is leading to S3 (in the end). So these type of things will be need upgrading, to make LFS marketable for S3

A quick overview of my system:

AMD X2 4400+
3 GB of ram
7950X2 (1GB)
Sata hdds
lfs has everything maxed @ 1920x1200.

Enriched graphics will make lfs look pretty, but wont help me race any better.

i paid, then totally forgot about changing the res options under Misc

Joined a game and thought... 1024 res skins arent that bad. Found my mistake & changed it. Connected again. WOW such a difference for bugger all cash.

+1 for me, providing it keeps the players colour choices
