Quote from Flame CZE :Those improved edges look much better! Although it is a subtle change, the jagged edges look bad on screenshots. Looking forward to that.

Quote from chanoman315 :Why sometimes they don't show us the onboard footage?

Probably because they didn't know what state Kimi was in immediately after the crash, so to avoid showing anything macabre (in case of a brutal/fatal accident) it's probably for the best.

What are you system specs?

Quote from DeadWolfBones :The Nikon. It's probably not as sharp and definitely not as fast, but for the price and versatility it's definitely the better bargain.

Cheers, might look into it at some point.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :It's an incredible bargain of a lens. Got mine for $500 used and I like it better than the $2000 70-200/2.8 I had (though I do miss the image stabilization).

The Nikon 70-200 2.8? Or the Sigma version?

Quote from Töki (HUN) :Finally I finished a lap around Nords without crashing. Lots of mistakes, default set with longer gears and hard tyres. Almost spun 2 times, there's still room to improve. I still don't know the 2nd half of the track well.

Here's the lap. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAMtjWzJ0oo

Terrible lap, terrible driver!

You were overheating and flatspotting the fronts consistently, so no wonder it popped that quickly.

Quote from smove :Got the Rocket Blower and the sensor seems to be clean now – at least I can't identify any grain of dust on it. But there still are some ugly spots in the pictures ... I'm afraid these come from inside the lens system ... Is there anything one can do about that?

Or is it possible there are still particles on the sensor, even if they seem to be invisible?

It can be very difficult to determine whether or not the sensor is clean, just by eyesight. Try taking some test shots to see how many spots there are on your pictures. You can do that by taking pictures of something with a white background, like a white wall or a piece of paper, just make sure it's a clean and even surface without holes or spots on it. I usually do it by shooting in aperture priority and at the minimum aperture possible (i.e. f/22 or higher). And I then set focus to manual and use the shortest focus distance. Make sure to fill the frame with whatever background you're using and then take a sample shot. To help determine whether it's the sensor or the lens that is dirty, you can try using to different lenses. If the spots remain in the same places even when using different lenses, then it's the sensor that is dirty.

Keep in mind that no matter how well you clean your sensor, there will most likely always be some visible spots when shooting at such a low aperture. When I have cleaned my sensor and I'm happy with the result, I usually take some shots that are closer to a real-life situation, using a more reasonable aperture. I almost never use smaller than f/12, so this is where I typically test it to see whether I can pick up any spots using that. Using the extreme end of the minimum aperture scale will almost always cause you to see some sort of spots, so that's why I do this.

But once I can't see any spots on the sensor within my normal aperture range, then I'm done cleaning the sensor.

Quote from smove :I'd be thankful for a recommendation as well. Is it possible to clean the sensor yourself without damaging anything? I heard it should better be done by a professional, but that would be quite expensive I guess ...

It can be done on your own. You can buy sensor swabs that are made specifically to be used on your sensor. They are usually pretty pricy for what they are, though. You can also get complete kits that contain everything you will need.

Read this to get the basics down:

There are different methods and ways to approach sensor cleaning. It might seem a bit scary at first but as long as you use common sense and take your time, you should be fine.

Quote from Alric :... and so he must be able to release something that is better than the old physics but not 100% perfect.

Scawen is a perfectionist. There's zero chance it will be released before he thinks it's 100% done. And it doesn't help that he seems to be a very stubborn fella too.
Perfectionism brought life to this sim - but it was also the cause of its death.

Quote from Matrixi :Endurance racing in LFS? Considering they take place with static weather, static time and no mechanical wear, I'm not surprised a lot of people pass on that.

I don't know where you have been for the last ~10 years, but endurance racing has been one of the biggest draws of LFS, atleast when it comes to competitive racing.

Quote from Fordman :Hi Experienced AC racers.

I just wanted to ask you all a question. I would like to purchase a GFX card, so I could give this a try, but need to know...

Min Specs are AMD Radeon HD 6450, Nvidia GeForce GT 460. What could I realistically acheive with this? / settings / FPS

I am not bothered if I have to upgrade again in 2yrs time for example, would just like to purchase something to "get me by for now"

CPU and Mem are not an issue

Thanks for the help

Fordie

This should be ok:

Quote from Eclipsed :It's "dead",because everyone is leaving and promoting,that it's dead,so more and more people believes,that it's dead and also leaving and also promoting the "death". If LFS is dying,one of the reasons,besides some false expectations,is the community killing it!

Yes, let's all keep pretending LFS is perfectly fine and trick more people into believing that buying a S2 license is a good idea.

There are no race servers left. LFS is dead in terms of public racing (unless you're either drifting or cruising).
