Thanks for this report! The video was breath taking!

Even if it's been years since I sim raced, i'll always come back to this forum to check about your progress.

I may not race anymore but I'm glad I bought licenses over the years.

It's been years since I raced LFS. Somehow, I peak here every now and then. The software still interests me.

I don't even sim race anymore(sold my gears). Regardless, I might buy all the future licences just to support the DEVs.

We'll, i'd be lying if i said i hang around here.

Besides that, life's really great for me! New baby girl, new job, just bought a 25 years old SNES!

Life couldn't be better for me.

Now, i just need to finish rebuilding my wheel and get back to racing again!

Good luck with your sim center!

Hi rocafella!

Hope you're doing great!

Quote from 5tag :

The sound engine needs a bit of a polish. I mean it's a very advanced way of producing engine noise and I don't think any other game has come close to synthesising it as well as LFS does and yet... when a new player exits the Blackwood pits for the first time I can't help but imagine that the sound aspect will seriously underwhelm him. It still sounds too dull, too artificial.

That's the main reason i put LFS aside. I've never really complained about it but you worded it well.

Don't get me wrong, it's the only big downside i can say about LFS. I still think it's a masterpiece! But because of the rendered sound, i'd rather just read the forum to see what's going on, every now and then.

On a side note, Scawen and Eric really pushed DX9 with their latest Blackwood track. It looks gorgeous!

Quote from Bone34 :

I don't understand how messy noise all over your screen looks better than smooth textures lol.

My brain played a trick on me!

I meant right!

Quote from Gutholz :

In options - graphics are seperate sliders for "mip bias" of objects, road etc.
To the left means "sharper/crispy", to the right means "smoother/more blur"..matter of taste I think.

Indeed, it did the trick. Thanks a bunch.

I also sent them to the right. Much better.

Fern Bay Black. So many memories!

E - meant right when i wrote left!

Hi, i recently reinstalled LFS, bought S3.

with everything maxed, i think, i find the graphics a little bit too sharp. The line on fences and squares from buildings seems like i've dialed some AA settings wrong.

Is there a guide to crank everything to the max, and also do it for the windows drivers.

I'm on a i5 and a GTX960.

Thanks,

The new track is really nice. It's been ages since i played this game. Did you also updates the physics? Didn't see it in the patch notes.

thank you.

From what i recall, bootcamp is included with new Macs. It should be in your utilities folder in the application folder.

You just need to have a copy of windows and a correctly partitionned hard drive.

Did that couple years ago, it worked great!

Mont Lyall!

hehehehe, like in the song. "Je retournerai à mont LYALL."

Your setup is awesome. How much did it cost you?

Bonsoir!

Congratulation!

I won't burn my sources, but i feel very lucky to bring you the first sight of the much demanded weather effects.

Lo and Behold!

I proudly present you what Scawen secretly worked on. The holy grail of car summulation. I hope you'll enjoy the improved sound. Not to mention the tyre physics.

I even stumbled upon a secret video of an alpha release of S3. The sound is awesome, can't wait!

Personnaly, it's the sound that keep me away from lfs.

I like to way it tells you what the engine is doing, but i can't listen to that more than 5 minutes...

+1 for the SNES version of Mario Kart.

Where the big guys actually went faster. And the fastest kart was'nt drove by a pink dressed girl!

I would participate if i did'nt broke my right leg. CD server are always a blast to have. Nice to see you're still giving work in those server.

Props up!

P.S.: Don't break both bones below the knee guys. It hurt for real. The only bright side is you can encounter beautiful nurses.

Mini lan party ( i bring my iMac to my friend's house) + alcohol + WoW = fun

Thanx again Bob the mod!

Quote from Bob Smith :

The last time we had this discussion, I dug up that post you are referring to and turned it into a simple app:

http://lfs.thefloatingwidget.net/files/FOV_Calc.zip

Would it be possible to update it so i can calculate my FOV for a 17" TFT 16:10 screen?

The smaller size available is 19"

Thanx

I know it's not the original intent of this thread. But since i could'nt find a link on race authority website. I'll write it here. The title of the thread fits.

Just wanted to say Thanx! for putting together a system that works and attract lots of drivers.

I had a blast with Ratzmilk and others on Race1 this week.

Thank you Becky Rose & all!

Keep up the good work!
