Better late than never.... I never come on forums that much. Only when bored and have nothing else to do! But doesn't matter if its 6 months old or not. The issues are still the same! lol
I'm one of the admins, you might know me as AMG Steve. I'm most chances the softie of the group. I have only ever banned one lad(he was a smasher and a half) and kicked about 3.
I can't really blow my trumpet here, I have had nights on the server where I can't get a lap in. And found myself joining the "noob" hunt. It depends on the mood of the day, some days I help everyone and others I just cant be arsed with it. I remember racing on Conedodgers, it was some days the best racing ever... and other it was total shite! This is the same for each and every other server on LFS. Some could say CD admin were to hard and some might say AMG are to soft. but it's a fine line between nice admin and take the piss admin! Each admin are different(as you know). I can be god to one lad and a total wank to the other. It's all part of the gaming life. I deep down love every minute i'm online whether it's LFS, BF1942, Total War and so on. The one thing I will say I have come to notice, is that the faster the racer gets the more of a noob he becomes. Or how about this, the more the monkey climbs the tree, the more he shows his arse! We are the ones with 10k of laps, race laps times in the high 1.40's and low 1.41's yet we are the ones that don't slow down for learners at the chicane.... we go to close to people we have never raced with before. And when they hit us we go nuts! I too have found myself doing this. It takes someone with a level head to remind you of this(Daddy Sin
).
Anyway I only came on to say hello!
Take is easy
P.S I type faster than my brain can work, so please don't laugh at any grammer or spelling!

aye, anyway i have just given up. i'm using my xp install and will leave it at that! ok xp doesnt let my system run at the same kind of speeds. but at least i can play it fine!!
OK I removed the profiler and still have the problem 
If i push gas, brake, clutch down slowly it's fine. soon as i push it hard and fast it get the little spike!
dont know what changed, but i think i will just have to use my xp install. im not doing another re-build of win7 just for lfs. I love the game but not that much!
i wont give up too soon though, might just find the answer!
cheers for all the help
aye spent a months wages on an upgrade, so it's a beast!

so how can i still use wheel without it? meaning setting all the FF and turn ratio's and so on....???
i wouldn't mind not using it, but need the settings.
cheers for your replies anyway

nah it was on in first place.
anyway I have found the problem. but i am unable to find a fix as of yet!
it's the logitech profiller!!! I noticed that it only happened when i either shifted with the h-pattern or used the clutch and the brake at the same time. it doesnt do this in my xp install. so will now have to find a way to sort it
wish me luck

FPS Spike's
Hi there,
I have had LFS for about a year now. And am enjoying it fine. I have been using it over 3 different operating systems. Xp Pro 32, Vista Ultimate 64, and newest Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
All have played LFS fine with massive FPS while either starting with full grid or in middle of race or whatever. The other day I started up LFS and thought I would mess around on AS4 with the computer controlled A.I and 32 cars. I was in my Win7 boot while doing this. So I started at the back of the grid, waiting for the race to start. I was getting about 350 - 400 FPS. The race started then I noticed that the FPS would drop to 40 and then shoot back up to 350-400 again. The spike in the FPS would cause I slight pause while doing this and made driving impossible. So I installed another copy on another drive and it did the same. I even installed it on my htpc with win7 U 64 and it worked perfect (making me think it's not win7)! So I thought maybe something had happened and I would re-boot. Same thing happened again. I then booted into vista and ran it from the same directory it ran perfect. I then booted into xp and again perfect!
I have installed nothing new; I have also done no updates. So I'm kind of lost as to how this could just start doing this. Booting into xp to play the game doesn't bother me. But the fact that win7 was going fine and now started doing this is a pain in the backside!
Something is telling me that a driver has become corrupt and is causing this. When I get home tomorrow I will test some things to see what I could be. And will post back to let people know.
I'm not looking for answers, just to help other if they get the same thing happen to them.
Hope all is well
Steve
P.S Here is what I have tried so far.
While in my win7 boot, I have lowered all visual settings in LFS to minimum. Have turn on and turned off sli for my cards. Have turned V-sync off. Have installed new copy of LFS on another drive even installed it on server and ran it over network. Updated video card drivers. Sound card drivers. Checked that cpu isn't maxing while playing. None of them sorted it, infact the reducing of the visuals in LFS made it worse.
What I will do tomorrow is update the profiler for my race wheel. try without the wheel or any USB devices plugged in. check all temps while playing. check for viruses. Remove kasperski and test (encase there is conflicts). Not sure what else at the moment, but if it come to mind will write it down.
