Ah, I see. Well, in that case I'm out of ideas. Do any other DX8 games work? How about the CMX Viewer available from the main LFS site?
SP1 is not available through Windows Update yet as Microsoft are waiting for driver writers to iron out some kinks (that's the story anyway). It IS done though and has gone out to manufacturing. Somewhere along the chain a copy of SP1 RTM has been leaked and has made its way to torrent sites. These copies are 100% authentic and the same as the final SP1 that will arrive in march.
Your favourite torrent site should have it available.
File copying and ZIP handling are the only things I've really noticed. They were very welcome though.
Huh. Can't say I've had the same problem here. Sounds like a driver issue to be honest. Have you tried updating your drivers?
71.16? Aren't those ancient? Do they even support the 8XXX-series?
OMG! He broke his f#%4ing head!!!111!one
Yes, as I said your suggestion is a good one. I just wanted to point out an easy way to do now before it's implemented.
Deleting the interface_cfg.txt file should reset the colours, but a button to do it would only be a good thing. 
:rolleyes: As I've already explained this IS possible and has been done through insim. The only question is whether that insim app is publicly available.
Exactly. The alternate section is always slower, so they must go through it at leas once.
It's something done in some (most?) rallycross races in real life. Once a race the drivers have to take an alternate route through a section of the track. They can choose themselves when they want to do the joker lap, and it's mostly done to make it easier to pass slower cars (by going in early to get a few "clean" laps) as passing through conventional methods can be a bit tricky in rallycross.
There's no such feature in LFS itself, but I know there has been an insim application that had a joker lap feature. I have no idea what it was called, and whether it's publicly available though.
There's still no doubt it could be a lot better though. Especially when lag enters the equation.
Had a lot of fun there yesterday. Great concept. I suck at it of course, but still.
Yep, it does. And you're right. For triple screen gaming to work "properly", you'd need 3 separate viewports. +1 from me, but I also think there's much more pressing issues in LFS right now. One for the future.
I'm not sure I get #3 though. You can already move the viewpoint around as you please in the custom view. Shouldn't be too hard to line it up the way you want it.
Y8 and Y10 are test patches available from the test patch forum. Do not install them unless you're willing to accept a few bugs and/or problems while Scawen polishes them for release. Also please read and understand the rules of the test patch forum before posting there if you have a bug report.
What? No it won't. A bad or underpowered on one may make your computer unstable, sure, but it won't get slower. Unless of course you don't have enough juice to power the graphics card, but in those cases you'll get a warning when booting up. If it boots at all.
More dynamic LOD reduction can also help, but at the cost of graphics detail. 15 FPS does seem a bit low for a 2.8GHz Core 2 though. (If it is a Core 2 that is?)

And just to drive another nail right through your arguments adulterated, I looked up the hardware in the F355 Challenge arcade machine. It's a Sega NAOMI board (or rather 3, one for each screen) which is basically the Dreamcast hardware with more system/graphics/sound memory.
Can you explain to me how this hardware is supposed to be more powerful than my Quad Core computer? You said it yourself (watch out, I'm going to use my reading and comprehension skills to dig up a quote from one of your posts)
EDIT: Sorry, Bob.

Thank you, I'm well aware of that. Our fatally ignorant friend adulterated obviously isn't.
Huh, I seem to remember you saying Race Drivin' also was one of the best simulators on any system. In fact, here's a quote of you quoting yourself making that very statement:
I can assure you it takes an internet-troll worthier than your sorry carcass to make me mad.
I can read fine, thank you. And while your tendency to resort to personal insults when you're backed up in a corner you can't talk your way out of is cute, may I suggest you try to explain yourself with logic and reason instead? You are obviously in possession of some killer data in the areas of vehicle dynamics, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to produce some evidence.
Alternatively you can just admit defeat and get the **** off these forums before you hurt yourself.

So, ignoring the hardware it runs on, F355 Challenge is more realistic than LFS? In that case, let me restate my question: "I'm still waiting for you to explain what exactly it is about F355 Challenge's physics model that makes it more realistic than LFS'?"
