2They are currently having some problems, you can find members of [LTC] on the CLC server.
Mate, you are one son of a gun, +2 to you! 
What you do, if you can reach the area, is to take a drill bit the same width as the screw itself. Drill through the head, remove the head and then use some pliers to get the screw out.
If you can reach it, otherwise a superglued nut to the head of the screw will work fine
Here is my view on barriers and ramps:
Why the hell would you include something that doesn't work properly when you are THAT anal about so many other small stuff?

Why wouldn't I wanna be running it? Less stuff in the background and from ground up is always easier and more gentle on the computer.
I did install the very latest DirectX, straight from the Windows Update.
I'm just requesting that LFS instead of whining "file not found" or "file not corresponding", it says "This OS is not supported" or "This client version is incompatible with LFS".
This being a LAPTOP upgrading stuff isn't really an option, 1.7ghz of centrino power and 2X1 PC3200 400mhz DDR-ram is the best I can do.
But this wasn't about me, about LFS, from a technical point of view is a bit basic when it comes to problems.

Windows XP Fundamentals is Windows XP without unnessecary stuff.
Fundamentals does work with both Half-Life 1/2 and World of Warcraft. Don't comment on those games except for the fact that they are games and that is what's essential in this case.
Most .dll-files have stayed the same for all eternity, since Windows NT. LFS does work with Vista right? Vista is a heavily evolved XP, not totally new. Does share very many basic files, like KERNEL32.dll.
Where in that article on Wiki does it say that they have changed features that basic?

As said in that article, it IS still windows XP but a slimmed down version.
It shouldn't be a problem to use LFS but it is, and I really wonder how it could be.

XP Fundamentals + LFS = Shows how basic LFS is.
Last night me and a mate of mine decided to install Microsoft Windows XP Fundamentals on my laptop. Basically it's a slimmed down XP, 30% faster overall.
The problem is however that since my laptop is mainly used for LFS, LFS not having a software scan of needed components kinda screw things up.
Instead of it doing a quick scan of the computer and telling me what is wrong it starts to display error messages here and there. "*.dll not found" "The procedure entry point MakeCriticalSectionGlobal could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" and with these files, that are the very basis of the OS not corresponding correctly makes me kinda wonder.
I posted the topic here instead of the "Suggestion" or "Problem" forums, mainly due to the fact that I want the devs to see it.

The fastest way to change gear with the FZR is to either use paddles with 10.0 button control rate and lifting the gas 1/100th or something AFTER you've pulled the paddle.
LFS doesn't need the clutch to disengage gears, only engage them. Something that is terribly wrong but maybe isn't the easiest to fix.
The other option is to use manual clutch and the H-gate on the G25; accelerate, disengage gear, clutch + engage next gear, clutch up and throttle down so that there is less than 10% (appro.) clutch left when the throttle is fully engaged.
Having a really low button control rate makes you really slow, I managed to do almost 5 times quicker shifts fully manual(with h-gate) than paddles + auto clutch at 3.20 BCR.

Just think of the posibilities available with having a full track unlocked... Not for racing though, but for the thousands of people appreciating cruising as well as racing it would be amazing.
One might wonder why noone have tried though, is LFS really that complex?

A person should be ABLE to drive badly in LFS without having to pit every lap, IRL worst case; a bad driver needs to go change the clutch every 5000 kms and that is really bad. In lfs, if one drive that badly, they have to let it "cool down" after 5 kms...
The clutch model itself might be alright but the clutch fry waaaaaaaaaaaay too easliy. The really bad part is though that I can shift 4-5 times faster using manual clutch than auto clutch but that brings up the problem with the fictional clutch being made of plastic.
Seriously, my friend, whom I live next too, drives his car like it's stolen and that clutch ain't slipping any more than two pieces of wood glued togheter with PL300.
I go in the car alot with him and full-throttle gear shifts (flatshifting?) is by no means hurting his engine and aren't exactly rare...
And letting the clutch up and engaging it with the throttle on doesn't make it go any worse, an absolut contradiction to LFS IMHO.
The car is an Opel (Vauxhall) Vectra B (-99) with a terrible 1.8 litre inline four and 5-speed gearbox.
PS: He drives like that because he really don't like the car so don't go ahead thinking he's a bad driver. DS.

DS.I'm bumping this thread but for good reason:
Something quite similar to this happened to me this very evening. I have had the wheel for two days and when I connect it to my comp instead of the another, desktop, it just wouldn't start. The LED would be at a very faint dimly lit condition, probably only visible due to it being completley dark in my room. No wheel-turning(calibration) would occur and the profiler wouldn't work properly.
All of this was solved with removing all drivers, cranking the wheel far right and then reinstalling them. Funny thing is the wheel probably recalibrated itself 5-6 times.

i'm guessing the reason for it being unreachble is what they're telling you, "updates are being performed, please check back later." or something of the likes.
Grats you guys, you deserve it.
Too bad I couldn't join in but hey, i'll become something more of a regular now atleast 8/0.8 ADSL + G25

Oh, sorry, thought we were just joking since the question has been answered like a billion seconds ago?

You do use your indicators when racing road cars sometimes on some tracks. They mean on the track what they mean in real life, "I'm going this way, use caution". To even contemplate over peoples understanding of indicators is well, beyond me.

28 L/100 km, which is alot... Our Renault Laguna 2.0 16v which got a very uneconomic auto does 10 L/ 100 km in town and 8.4 L/ 100 km on the highway.
It's the US, cars ain't expensive over there, plus the second you get a job that requires some sort of college degree the money will start to rain over you, kinda.
Back on topic: Currently a learner driver, Renault Laguna SportsTourer MY03, 2.0 16V, metallic silver on grey, piece of shit 4-speed autobox; really takes the edge of those 140 bhp. The fourth gear is set way to high, going constantly 80-100 k's on a B-road gives better economy than a constant 114 k's on the freeway.

Or you could say that it is CET, instead of BST :P
Or you could comment on the point that yet again CLC are having troubles with their server and has made the server private.

You do know that as of 2003/2004 alot fewer car companies stopped over-quoting their power figures because of massive lawsuits in the US? Mazda had to pay an enormous sum of money because the RX8 lacked 7-8 bhp.
Reading this thread almost made me vomit, and my stomake is quite gutsie...
The pure amount of generalisation, pessimism and cynnicim is alone a big reason to kill this thread but on the other hand the amount of knowledge some people showed in a fashionable and polite way almost slid the scale to 0.
Don't you think it's wrong to go the same way every time someone is trying to make a point but makes the big mistake of taking "his" knowledge and putting it up against figures?
About free-flow air filters never giving more power, rolling roads are crap, dynos don't work, this and that and so on. I don't now what the word is for this type of communicating so unnecessary repeating will do for now.
A properly cordoned off free-flow air filter will give extra power to some cars.
A, according to engine displacement and configuration correct, free-flow exhaust will give extra power to many but not all cars.
Rolling road shows what power you have at the wheels and that is the only, to me, figure that matters, why quote the engine power if the WBHP is 50 BHP lower?
A dyno is to me the type of device you bolt to the wheel hubs whereas a rolling road is no more than 2/4 rolling tubes, correct? And this gives a more correct reading bla bla bla.
And saying that all commercial dynos are over-reading, isn't that a bit of generalization? Since you(tristancliffe) haven't tested all the cars in the world with all the different dynos available(no time in hell), probably not even the most popular in the UK with the standard dynos(possible but come on?) you can't say for sure that it's always in their interest to make them over-read.
Atleast here in Sweden we want the real power, to a point, getting extra big figures at one dyno when the manufacturer of the after-market parts quoted a 5% (example) lower BHP upgrade you know somethings wrong, you don't get positively surprised.
I'm just mad at everyone always giving these statements, hardly arguments, and getting away with it.
Don't bother to correct any misspells unless they alter the meaning of the sentence, it's 4:40 am and I still spell okay compared to some others whom have english as their native language.

Some things shouldn't be ignored; racism, sexism and so on. Even if it might be an easier way than going the whole nine on them you should complete that form and send it to them togheter with any replays/logs.
