Quote from MadCatX :AFAIK PAE works fine in Windows, you can enable it in boot.ini and try it for yourself.

It works. But not as it should. Only advantage in a non-server windoze OS with PAE you get is the NX-bit. It's still limited to 4GB of RAM. Something about a driver compatibility/stability issue and a whole more yadda yadda(licensing) from M$.

So anyway, if you already have 4GB of RAM, I would go with 64-bit version of windoze. You never know when you're going to upgrade your RAM. And are you going to re-install it again just because of that?

Quote from Keling :You don't need a NFS-HP style 600hp+ patrol car to pull over a driver who happened to cross the double yellow line by mistake. Even if the suspect does get crazy and want a hot run, 9 times out of 10 he/she doesn't know much about sporty driving. Performance is not important at all in most cases.

In most cases they don't need guns either. But they still carry one all the time.
Just give it a rest. RWD is better than FWD. And it's not about the amount of power the car has it's about the amount of power you can get down to the road in any situation.

Before buying filters, try to pick the machine of the floor, specially if it sits on a carpet. Don't have to be on the ceilling, just a height of a shoe box should improve the dust issue. I'd do that anyway, filters or no filters.

Also, you could check the disk out with MHDD. It wouldn't be the first time for me to see that kind of behavior because of the hard drive.
And open up the box and check the capacitors if they're inflated. A small bulge is visible on top of them if they're inflated. Inflated = bad. Then you've got your MB to replace.

Quote from TehPaws3D :My opinion? Well, LFS is already bricked up enough in backorder (Sirocco, Tire physics, Etc...) So i doubt this could be done. Suggesting new models at the current time is like pulling adult teeth!

If I recall correctly, Scirocco was modeled pretty quickly and was "withdrawn" just before release due to the found bug which lead to long lasting development of tyre physics.

M$ is somewhat of an "insult" to MS, because of their known "it's gonna cost ya" policy on everything. In other words, I don't give a rats behind how it's "spellt", I'll always spell it M$.

And thanks dadge for taking over the explanations.

Quote from amp88 :(32 bit system you'll be able to use <4GB as main memory, 64 bit you can use a lot more)

Actually with PAE enabled OS and CPU you can use more RAM than 4GB. Sadly on desktop "oriented" OS from M$ it is not possible to run more than 4GB of RAM, because of "driver compatibility issues" and mainly, M$ licensing "issue". They use PAE only if and for the NX-bit.

Is it just me, or did you take a picture of the car with a camera and uploaded that picture?
You know of the little button called Print Screen, don't you?

Quote from FRZN-95 :I'm Playing on a Laptop and it's just impossible to put it on because the video card is built-in and it's not made for gaming.

Pause the replay where you want the screenshot from, go to options, set everything to highest, take screenshot and then turn back down to where you had it before. No gfx is that bad that it couldn't handle this. :P

Quote from Keling :Some vob mods give you a big advantage in close combats. When the connection lags, you opponent flies away, but you don't because your car is smaller.

Say that this smaller car is a modded XRT, wouldn't that mean that all XRTs would be "smaller" on your side?

How is this an improvement?
It's not even a suggestion.

Quote from boothy :Use the z28 .exe attached here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=70879 and you have 600bhp GT0 cars

Yeah, I know about that, but that's still a mod, and I don't think a mod will make it's way onto LFSW.

Weather too. But the main reason is night racing.

Quote from boothy :So what restrictions?

I'm guessing the devs would have to decide on that. Maybe even add a "thickbox" option in the garage to choose type of engine(GT1, GT2, GT3, whatever else would go)

Or, I'd really like to see some real GT1 cars first(specification wise). I'm thinking about LeMans GT1 "restrictions", like 1.200kg with 560bhp or 1.250kg with 600bhp. So then we could have the current GTR class as the GT2 class. They are certainly closer to GT2 class than to GT1 class.

If this happens, I see no obstacle in adding GT1/2/3 classes to LFSW. That is, if the classes are somehow predefined, and XRR with 50% intake restriction is still XRR not XRR GT7.

No no, no problem with that. Always open for suggestions.
I'm sure it will help me and also someone else if we keep the thread bump'd up all the time.

You mean ssh bruteforce?
Just change the port and you'll get rid of 95-99% of bruteforce attacks.

And it's not a ddos attack. The purpose of it is to bring a machine of the network, not get access to the system by trying gazillion password and username combinations.

Or if you're blocking of subnets, you could also block of by specific ports. Make a new chain in iptables i.e. DROPBRUTEFORCE, add all ports that you want blocked in that chain and then -j DROPBRUTEFORCE on all of those subnets that you now just droped or rejected. Or even easier accept connections to ports that LFS uses before droping/rejecting the subnets.

Quote from Bmxtwins :Thomas go get yourself a nice G27 .

I've been looking at a Fanatec actually.

Yes, he is exiting at higher speeds, but only 0,5-2km/h max. Except the last chicane. I messed that one up badly on that hotlap run
But he does carry alot more speed throughout that corner than me. And after messing up the right-left uphill sweep somehow resulted in a 1 second slower first sector. Which kinda makes sense now, and at the end messing up that chicane that much makes perfect sense that I was slower almost 3 seconds in that run.

But still, I need a new wheel now. I can't drive without noticing how my wheel is flicking.

Yeah, I know I'm going to have to buy a new one, I've been planing on doing so for a month no, I guess it's time to stop planning and start acting.
Thanks for the help.
