Hi All,

Just a thought...has anyone thought of using "Teamspeak" for comms during a race? I belong to a virtual airline and it really works well for that. It can be configured to be either push to talk or be activated by your voice (VOX).

I was racing last night with some folks, and was astonished to see that they were not only racing like the devil was after them, but typing besides! Wow, am I out of my league!!!!!

My old brain just can't seem to get wrapped around that idea.

Just wondering.

Jim

So, the short version is that it's essentially Black Magic then

Gads...I'll never be able to communicate with anyone while I'm driving then...oh well...my father used to tell me that even a fish wouldn't get caught if he kept his mouth shut...somewhat prophetic..

Thanks for the input!

Jim

How in the world do the folks who do the online racing manage to race and type messages to each other at the same time? I wrecked just glancing up at the map to see who was going to run me over.

Any idea how they do that, or does this fall under the "Black Magic" section?

Jim

Very Happy with Patch Y, went in smooth as silk and I especially like the different camera angles. That Z50 is a slippery little bugger isn't it?

Completely happy with it, also thought it was pretty cool the way all the various cars are lumped together now too.

Excellent work! Many thanks for all the hard work that went into this, Merry Christmas to all.

Jim

Hi,

Thanks...that's exactly what I did, oh well...must be a loose nut behind the keyboard (meaning me).

Maybe I'll give the "Y" patch a try see. Or does one of the other patches have to be installed first?

I do have the updated LFS installed (S2 I think it is), and was interested in seeing how the patch would spruce it up.

Thanks for the reply,

Jim

PS: In case anyone is interested, I have several videos posted on "YouTube"...just do a search for Chitch50 and you'll get the list. Several with LFS, some with MSFS and one with MSTS.

When I install the patch (X), that was posted, LFS won't load and says that it can't find a file (some sort of a jpg file..don't recall the name).

I know it's got to be something obvious, otherwise I wouldn't have missed it...any guesses?

Jim

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Been using LFS for a while, but have been out of it for a bit (new computer, new grand daughter, etc.).

Hope to see you folks on the track sometime.

BTW: The name is Jim, and I'm in Syracuse, NY

Take Care,

Jim

OUTSTANDING!! Many thanks for putting up this info

I'm gonna be in trouble now! Gotta go play

Jim

Ok, thanks for the tip. I did get a video, but I used my digital cam to "tape" the race..turned out ok, but nothing amazing...it was better than nothing though

I have fraps somewhere on my system, just gotta hunt it down now

Jim

Hi All,

Kind of new here, but with the playbacks...is there some utility that is able to be used to convert them from the format that they use in the game to something like an .avi or .mov or .jpg file?

I'd like to share my races with some friends, but can't do it because of the format.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim

Quote from d6nn :

its a drifting picture thread u know illepall

Sure..I was drifting through the air is all

Jim

Thanks, apprecieate it. Got a couple of oopsie shots too for what they're worth.

Jim

Here's my puny attempt..hope I get it right this time

Probably not a quick answer though. I have the logitech NASCAR wheel and pedals, but for some reason they aren't recognized by the program. Am I missing something simple - AGAIN??

Jim

If you like F1 racing, there's a pretty good screensaver at this address:

http:/www.digimindsoft.com

You can d/load a free demo of it, to see if you like it and if so, it's only something like $15 (US) to buy. Good effects and sound, but some of the cars are going way too fast for the corners.

Nice stuff!

Jim

Ok, I'll give that a try and see how I do...it's tough when you get old to keep up sometimes ..but I'll keep trying

Jim

Ok, thanks...I'd appreceiate it. LOVE THE GRAPHICS!! No idea how they do that with the file being as small as it is. Used Trainsim in the past and MS Flight sim...and 18 WOS...no comparison

Jim

Ok, think I got it now...whatcha think??

Jim

Ok, think this took fine...please be honest. Is this the standard that you're looking for or do I need to add something else to it? I know..dumb newbie questions.
Jim:something :noob: :noob:
