On a hardware forum I visit, there's been several people having performance issues with ATI HD 5000 series cards on Windows XP.

Apparently the XP driver is bugged for those cards at the moment.

If XP isn't the problem, then maybe wait until a new driver update from ATI.

I'm pretty sure iTunes songs work with VLC, or if not, select the song(s) you want to have in LFS, click "Create AAC version" or similar in iTunes.

Then try to convert those files with VLC.

Alternatively, SUPER is a great media converting tool, however I have no experience with such program.

IIRC, the ingame radio plays .ogg files.

If this is what you are asking, I wrote a tutorial on how to use it (and to convert songs to .ogg file extension for LFS).

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=58205

I think something like the song name information display could read information from the .ogg file itself. (Making sure you add it to the file so it actually contains data, as in the conversion process, no song data is carried over (because it is a new file format)).

If you mean using the "Channels" in the 'Audio' part of the options, I remember I wrote a tutorial on how to use it not too long ago...

Hope it helps.

Hi all,

I've been running LFS now on my gaming rig:

Intel Pentium D 805 2.7ghz|NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GTX 512|Antec TP-550|GeiL 2GB DDR2|GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3LR

And there has been some strange 'flashes' of either black colours or just random textures appearing really briefly at random times when driving on the track.

I don't think that it is present in any of the other games I play;

TrackMania, GRID, etc.

I presume it might be my old CPU or maybe my graphics card sort of letting up?

I checked ATITool's Scan for Artifacts option for 10 min, and no artifacts were found...

Any ideas?

[EDIT: Okay, I think since I had VSync on must have caused the problem...]

Sounds like an interesting idea.

I presume this is a collection of skins/texture modifications in the style of Need for Speed Most Wanted?

Good luck on your project.

I can try to make the lights, the skin and engine sound I don't have skills/license for unfortunately.

The Very End.

Enough said.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I emailed the devs about it, and Victor replied instructing either money order or self sent cash, (it is risky, I know).

I'm still deciding on the money order, but it seems to be the most likely option.

I hope to get around to the Post Office sometime soon. Today it's closed already, so I'll pop down and query at a later time.

OP, try making it yourself with CMX as a guide to see how the car looks.

That skin seems easy enough to make, so try...

I didn't notice the Core 2 Quad...

BTW, GT220 vs. GTX 260 216 SP has a clear, distinct gap...

It also depends on what resolution his display is at.

(E.g. 1024x768 should be definite max out for that setup, approaching 1650x1050 or similar probably a max is possible, etc.)

It's hard to tell, GRID at Ultra (or even above Ultra with mod), @ 1900x1200 + 4/16x AA can be pretty taxing for that card...

Sorry OP.

Here's an image for resource

EDIT: Sorry, got beaten to answering...

Anyway, from the pictures, you've achieved a level of quality that is so high, it can be only named after you.


So there is:

"Bad" -> "Below average" -> "Average" -> "not bad"-> "Good" - >"Great" ->"OMG AWESOME" - > ??? - > "Lynce's masterpieces..."

Quote from brandons48 :

XRG and XRT have the same skin base, other than the wing. It could be made for XRT and still fit XRG, Besides, YOU don't even have S2..

Unless, you drive XRT offline on your "friend's S2"

Where does it say in the rules or in any sort of LFS Forum known rules of conduct that I can't recommend other fellow demo'ers to buy S2?

I'm quite aware of the massive prejudice against demo'ers, and I do intend to buy S2. In fact, I could have already sent the money order to the devs already and not told anyone...

I have never driven any S2/S2 content, and never will until I buy S2.

You probably realise that those demo'ers who use that excuse of driving on their "friend's S2 account" is more or less a half-formed scapegoat for their illegal use of S2 content without payment to the LFS devs.

CMX Viewer is what I have used to see the cars, and it also helps in my texture modifications, also searching in Google for a picture of whatever car in LFS guarantees a picture of the car.

Also LFS Manual/LFS main site shows images of the cars.

(Sorry for off topic)

I'm looking forward to Shift, regardless of anyone else's hatred/opinion of the game.
EA may not be known for the best, most realistic and comprehensive titles, but they do listen to their buyers (sometimes, okay, rarely).

(I was thinking of posting this slightly OT rant about pointless, vaguely justified hater's posts, but I thought not to...)

Oh sorry for lack of updates...

I didn't know people were actually following it, so I went to pursue some other texture modifications in the meantime.

Currently, 350Z rear lights are a no go for the FZ, and it's obvious why.

However I'll try to add something reminiscent of the 350Z to the rear lights.

By the way, that picture I posted of the initial head lights needs updating...

More updates to come.

It wouldn't suit XRG.

Buy S2 and ask for it on XRT.

Quote from logitekg25 :

howabout grid and prostreet (the games i bought and still have yet to play :shrug

You'll be fine with medium/low settings on 2x/0x AA on both of those titles.

Hi all,

I'm heavily set on buying S2, however since I'm paranoid about stolen bank accounts and such, I am resorting to money order, (preferably self-sent with no hassle).

Would anyone have some pointers on how this process will go down? I have read the instructions on the Shopinfo pages too many times already.

If it at all matters, I have the $50 Australian dollars sitting in front of me, begging to be sent.

Thanks.

I thought I would send a money order to the devs for S2 today, but I was too busy celebrating...

It's my birthday today, but the forum doesn't show it...

I was kind of aiming for a higher resolution improvement of the original LX lights.

That's why they don't seem to different.

Or maybe you didn't look close enough?

I've heard of receiving internet through the electricity cables around homes...

Why not look into it?

Hi,

Absolutely any decent (even intergrated Intel graphics chipsets), or better (cards from Nvidia's GeForce range or ATI/AMD's RADEON range) will work fine with LFS.

As far as I know, there's not really a best card for LFS, as it itself is more CPU dependent.

However, as a rough estimate, Nvidia's Geforce 6 series or better (7/8/9/GTX 200 series) or ATI/AMD's RADEON HD 2 series or HD 3 series/HD 4 series/etc should be fine to max out LFS at good frame rates.

Aaah okay.

Thanks mate.

(OT: BTW, how did you pay for your S2, I'm looking into how I can, and internet transfer doesn't seem safe)
