Thankyou very much

@ JTbo
I know how it should work but it doesn't. It keeps giving me error messages, no matter what. And yes, I've deleted and redownloaded (several times) to rule out the possibility of a corrup download. And yes, I did empty the temporary internet files folder. Still, I get the same error message. The same I've gotten with every 7-Zip archive I've downloaded from here. It just doesn't work on my system.

Diagnostic message attached.

grr.... I still can't get the 7-Zip stuff to work

Quote from Jertje :

Well, either you're lying about your system, or your system is lying to you.
I have a 'mere' 3400+ with 1gb ram and an X800GTO2, and it runs at maxed out framerates with every graphical option maxed out

Nope, no lies (why would I?). It just seems as there is an issue with what I got on my system or the settings I use.

I like the idea but...
It's slow as heck. 8FPS on an Dual Core AMD 5200+ with 2Gb RAM and a GeForce 7900, with the default settings (medium everything). That's to slow. It's not even funny. For this to sell, I'd say it needs to look as good as LFS and run as smooth.
So I give it A for originality but F for quality. If you get the FPS up along with much better image quality, and perhaps get a few roadcourse races (Grand-Am anyone?) in there, I'd say it's a winner.

I get a "memory access violation" message and then it shuts down.
AMD Dual Core 5200+ / 2Gb RAM / nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX

Thanks guys. I'll try those programs one by one

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Windows Movie Maker probably isn't multi-threaded,

Is this why it freezes up?

As many others I use fraps to capture video from LFS and then import it into Moviemaker. With my old AMD 2400+, this worked like a charm, but with my new AMD Dual Core 5200+ it hangs and stops responding. Same version fraps, same version WindowsXP and same resolution.

Anyone has any idea what causes this? Is there another (free) tool to turn videos captured with fraps into useable size and formats?

And THEY put this nose on me, and the hat.

But you turned me into a newt

Back on topic.
Both knees ache after 20 minutes and my neck stiffens and starts to hurt after about 40 minutes. And if I'm not carefull, I get aching wrists as well after a while. Dangerous stuff being a sim racer

Many thanks

four quick tries later and I still get the same
I had the same problem with an earlier test patch as well...

refference to earlier problems. I was not alone...

hmm... could someone please pack up the files as a normal .ZIP or .RAR archive for me? This 7-zip exe doesn't work for me. I get a "is not supported archive" message when I try to run it

Oh don't worry... One of these years now, the Swedish group "After Dark" will finally win and repressent Sweden in ESC. Then you will see an entire stage full of drag queens over 45 years old

I think that's a great idea.
I use a countdown timer to the next race on SCORE just ot make sure poeople from different timezones doesn't calculate wrong. Works like a charm, even for those leaving/entering DST.

Of course I watch it. I'm from Sweden and we usually do great music in this country

This one works, but is not free. And, you need a camera you can lock to 30 FPS

Install Cam2Pan.
In game, select mouselook.
Start Cam2Pan.

It's all in the readme for the program

Not as good but it works. Call it a budget version of TrackIR

Yeah, £24 is equal to 332 Sweden Kronor (SEK) which is at least 40% less than the price of any other game or simulation. Just compare ot the price of GTL or GTR2. And LFS is worth every penny

Thankyou

Hi - Just tried installing patch and I'm getting an error with the Extraction.

I Click the LFS-V2.exe File & an 'Extract to' box comes up, then Click Extract & getting error '7-zip' diagnostic message >> LFS-V2.exe is not supported archive.

Hmmmm - Am i missing something, could it be an associations issue? THX.

I get the same message, and I've tried all the hind and tips given in this thread. Would be helpful if the files could be distributed like proper .ZIP or .RAR files

James got some nice ones in on Jezza!! ha ha ha!

About time too
I really feel Captain Slow and the Hamster should start to take up a little more room in Top Gear than they presently do.

I'm careful and always struggle to keep the XR series cars on the ground and under controll. This does not make me the fastest driver in the bunch, but I am pretty damn consistant.
I really hate to get hit or even nudged in the rear and I try my best not to do it to anyone else. I rather plant my car in the fence or in the sand.
