Quote from CXC_Simulations :

The unit it's self is fully assembled and ready to install. To risk sounding like a broken record: There are more components that lead to the overall costs in this product other than the carbon plate. Please see earlier posts for a more detailed description.

Ahh yes.....the flexible cord, zip ties and anchor, CD and guide . Good point .

Speaking of the CD; there is no drivers involved in using this product, it is a 'plug and play' device! How you get it to work, is by using plug-in's written by Leo and the RSC DIY community for each sim. Again, this does not fall under the "We at CXC" umbrella of OEM suppliers!

Quote from CXC_Simulations :

Yes it was. I never said it wasn't. Nor do I think crediting every vendor we use for this product.

You're right, you do not come right out and say it. The problem is, your pitch creates the illusion that you somehow had creative control in the making of this shift light. In addition, to what functions can be added or that you have had a hand in the testing that was involved. We both know this is not the case. This is my reason for taking you to task.....give credit where credit it due!! That, and the fact that I still don't buy your reasoning for the exceedingly high cost.

Quote from CXC_Simulations :

Would you prefer I credit the person who layed up the carbon fiber, the person who made the molds for the composite enclosure, the person who makes the retractile cable etc.? Leo is an OEM supplier. Companies like ours purchase components from him and other vendors to add to our own products.

The rest of your statement is being a bit overly dramatic. It's a slick way of spouting pure nonsense to confuse the issue. The two integral parts of this "SLI" are the plate and the light. You only had a hand in creating the plate. Refer to the above answers for questioning whom should be credited for what, regardless of the fact that you consider Leo as an OEM supplier! It is assumed that when you purchase a product from Leo, he gets the credit for the hardware controller.....in whatever it may be used for. Perhaps he should consider a licensing fee on his products, for companies like CXC.

The point is........he doesn't assemble this shift light. He buys these shift lights from Todd and Leo (the same model you and I can get) and spiffs it up with his mounting plate. The only thing he supplies that is of his creation, is the mounting plate.

Echo other's statements about your asking price for this add-on, especially for a product that you can buy without your carbon fiber plate. All you're basically doing, is installing this shift light into your plate and charging an extra $65 USD for the troubles (or is the light even installed in the plate or is this an end user install?)! Add to that, your mounting plate is $10 USD more than the shift light itself!! I find it hard to believe that your material cost's and so-called exhaustive testing warrants that.

This shift light was designed and built from a project that Todd Cannon and Leo Bodnar came up with earlier in the year. They offer these for $55 USD that you can get by visiting the RSC thread that started it all. As I have been following the progress of this collaboration (and subsequently bought one of these lights), at no time did I ever see your name mentioned in the design process of this unit. They did the work, all you're doing is offering an expensive plate and to top it off......not even giving them credit as the principal designers of this light! They would be the one's (more specifically, Leo B) to come up with a USB controller that additional buttons could be added, etc. It would be wise of you to be a little more forthcoming in your sales pitch.

That did it..........thank you.

I've upgraded my computer significantly since first installing LFS. Now running WinXP x64 and I'm wondering if it is the cause of my not being able to unlock my LFS install. I've typed in the UN and the GamePW that was sent to me by email, but I everytime I go to hit unlock I get an error saying "Unknown Command".

Only running Windows firewall and no AV is installed just yet. I've even turned off the firewall and still get this error. No router is being used........got a direct connection to the modem. Any suggestions?

Quote from Shotglass :

same here ... unless you want to use more than 3 gigs of ram and without having to use vista i wouldnt bother with the driver monster that xp64 is

That is basically my reasoning for switching to the x64, wanted to be able to run 4 gigs. Thanks to all for the feedback.

@kiss me: You were asking for tips for your build, I am by no means an expert (have built a few systems for myself, but that is the extent of it and am also partial to AMD). But PM me anytime if you think I could be of some help to ya, will give it my best shot.

Building a new computer that will be running XP Pro 64, will I have any issues running LFS with this OS?

+1

Also if possible, have something similar to what GTR/GTR2 does. In garage, you can look up setups in their online folders for whatever track/model of car your looking for.
