Haven't really got time to read all these posts and technical goo goo.
From my perspective some of my fun just went out of LFS with the clutch damage feature. I have a two pedal /wheel set-up and used to have lots of fun hammering around with a sequential set-up, pedal to the floor and flappy paddling between gears. Now after three laps the clutch is vapour.
I've tried setting a button as the clutch but I may aswell resort to competing in a double decker bus.
Shame really.
PS: Don't bother flaming or giving the realism argument 'cause I won't reply. "I" was having fun, now "I'm" not. Like I said, shame.
PPS: If there a config setting for a titanium clutch plate I would welcome the hint.

Run Task Manager and kill all the extraneous processes that are grabbing CPU cycles. Type the process name into Internet Explorer and most come back with an explanation and whether they can be safely terminated. Switch off Windows Auto Update (do it manually) and AV updaters etc. Stop the print spooler etc. while you're playing LFS. All these grab processor power.
I did this and saw good FPS recovery for free (although I did upgrade my machine later).

SUIT viewer?
I'm guessing not, but is there a SUIT viewer out there?
PS: LFS.EXE doesn't count!
PPS: I do my skinning on a different PC to running LFS (in case you wondered)
PPPS: I've searched the forum already!

Paint Shop Pro has a "chome" Artistic Effect option. Used to work well on S1 skins but I've only tried it over the Master Skinnerz 2048k templates and it doesn't look as good. 
That sounds promising. Thanks Gentlefoot I'll give it a go.
Generic response to this and many similar threads:
I have to say I'm getting scared sh1tless to enter most online games for fear of offending someone with my average driving. I've had LFS for some time and drive with reasonable care but without aids like wing mirrors and peripheral vision I usually end-up going cross-country rather than challenge someone. I'm not a noob by any means but I'm no master of the art either, I just play LFS to have fun and wind-down, but with the proliferation of servers, and threads similar to this - it's getting harder to find somewhere to go and have fun. "Leagues" strike me as too formal to support the average driver and I have no interest in screwing up other peoples gaming.
Answers on a postcard please....
