Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???? And i thought Austria was expensive with its taxes!! 180%??!! Are there even driving cars there?? If i had to pay all that i would buy me a horse or import a kangaroo !

The thing is the car is in a very good shape and i didn´t find another one not in Germany nor else where, perhaps because there where only 49 built...?!

Thanks for your advice!

Im not sooo shure now to get it or not...the car is in a really good shape and i could pay 5000€ for it. But i still would need to get the car (it is in holland - but i could combine it with a nice trip to amsterdam .... ;-) ) and than to register it and what so ever...so pretty much a big effort first.

And than the fact that it is an automatic....

Still thinking a lot...will defenitly tell you if i get to a decission!

Yeah...was thinking the same..i don´t really like automatik...But its still a really nice car, nearly 12931239 times better than an manual fiat!!

Just trying to get the a better price...will tell you if i have sucsess!!

How much do you guys think will this car cunsume? 12l avg?

cheeeers!

Im really thinking about buying exactly this car:
http://www.alpina-b10.nl/

What do you think about it? Its a BWM B10 with 360 Hp BWD and all it got to have some fun drivin. Its a limited edition and i could get if for about $9.000

I currently have a crapy Fiat Stilo diesel and i can´t stand this f*** car. Its a good car for driving to A -B but its like a damn womans car. I want to drive to A - B but with a big smile on my face and perhaps doing some nice drifts

So...tell my if i should buy it... or just give me some potential and nice counterexamples!

Cheeeeers!

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Only 2 were made... wonder how much one would sell for..

Definitly a LOT! Only problem is they dont exist anymore.

There are sever speculations what happened to both of them and the most common on is that a few years after being build many parts were used to setup another car. Back then they didn´t know about what a beautiful car they build. If i remember well the original engine of one car was found somewhere and Ferrari is thinking about building up another 125 S with that engine.

So if you see one on the road or someone tries to sell you one, be shure, its a fake!

Ferrari 125 S - 1947

Was the first car ever build under the name of Ferrari. Only 2 were build and for me its one of the most beautiful cars! :-)

Quote from pasibrzuch :

And the point of this thread was: what/how much/in which way, must be changed to make LFS closer to realit, in the tyre pressure case.

Once again, anybody knows the tyre pressures used in motorsports?
It should be a good base for discussion.

Well..i think you cant generalise that, as there is so a hugh variety of different cars, tracks, strategies, wheterconditions where tyre pressure does a hugh difference in laptimes. I´m pretty shure that a f1 cars tyre pressure is above of an f3000´s tyre presure couse of the different forces on the tyres, as an example.

I think that tyre pressure doesn´t affect fuel consumption directly, but indirectl. At least in real life:

If i´m driving my car ( crappy car with low horse power :-P ) i notice quite a lot difference in fuel consumption if i have low pressure. I think its because there is more rolling resistance that my car has to handle, so more power for keeping the same speed, so its like going uphill.

Quote from Jertje :

Same.
It's a fairly mid-range system, too. I don't see how people can get less than 60 fps on minimum settings with any half-decent PC.

Well..if i could get that frames...like on haven. But it depens highly on the gfx card u have. I got an intel bulls. and those are like the worst cards you could get. But the rest of the lapi is fine..1024 ram, 1,6 ghz centrino.
So you could guess yourselfe luky!

Quote from CSU1 :

god I want a new pc too

To the community: Donate to both of us each 2 € and we could get a new Pc and drive against you!

I get with al min. settings and 1024 res. with 3 other cars in the screen like 5-8 fps on laptop! This sucks!! And the only possible view is from the wheels. Got to get new pc!
Thats why i love driving solo!

@ XCNuse: How are works going with that city track you made at the beginning?? Would love to see some progress! :-D

Ups.. Didn´t see it!
But i think this event is that important and so its worth two threads...

It was a real pleassure to see you racing today like this!
I´m sure, that many of you there have seen the formula 1 race from brazil today!
As it was mentined a time ago, this race would be the last one of M. Schumacher! Today again he proved to the world that he is one of the best f. 1 racers ever! From the last posituion due to a tyre blow-out he gained position after position to end at forth place. Great work!
I´m shure that it will take long time to see another good racer like him and the Formula 1 will loose a grat bit of its flair without him. For that i give him an honest good bye!

There was once one wise man who said:

"Don´t give me problems, give me solutions!"
or was it like that...
"Don't give me problems, give me dx9L!"
Here you are!

Perhaps now LFS will meet DX10...

hey,

Perhaps someone of you could help me out!
I have a gforce 5700LE and it used to run dx9. The problem is, that since i installed a new patch (91.47) on it, it only runs on dx7. I don´t know how to fix it and i don´t really want to get a lower patch version.
Thanks a lot!
Bye

To have them to eat your dust, and not you to eat dust!

Quote from R1K89 :

Verry funny that you mention that, because LFS hasn't met DX9 Yet
Another useless thread i think

Well..don´t think so. We have discussed a lot in this thread...Not as usless as many other threads!!

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I'd rather have a not as hot woman in DX9. I mean, she wouldn't be as hot, but better performance!

well..that doesn´t mean that both of them can´t be togehter...
imagine Heidi Klum with the performance of Tyra Banks!

Quote from Woz :

It does not matter.......

1) DX10 games will not be common until Vista is common otherwise companies will not get their investment back.
2) DX10 requires Vista. If you are happy to give ALL control of your computer to MS, RIAA and MPAA then you NEED to read what "trusted computing" actually means. WAKE UP
3) The Halo in game shots looks worse than the detail in Q3 which leads me to believe the others are renders. Halo is a MS game so you would expect that to look stunning but it does not?

We have discussed the pros and cons in the last 5 pages. I hope you understood when i wrote, i dont want to make advertisment of dx10... nor windows or what so ever.
Only to point out the stunning graphics. And i think that even you can´t say, that they are not good.

sorry for reviveing this thread..

but i came to this page now and i was so impressed that i want to share it with you!

http://www.winmatrix.com/forum ... ums/lofiversion/index.php

ps: not intended to make advertisment for dx10..

Quote from speedykev :

would all the awesome graphics and special FX work online with todays broadband. or would you just have a good looking game with crap online play.

That wouldn´t affect the internetconnetcion speed at all, as not good quality images are transfered but information about the "movement" of the cars. So, with better quality of the game=same connectionspeed.

Who said that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU??
Didn't know all that..looks like the future of drastical controlling begins right now.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

Remove the fact that what you attached looks like something from the 80's, which would make it ~20 years old is besides the point. As long as you can tell what things are, that's all you need if the game plays how it should.

From 1996!

ok then..one example,perhaps a little bit exaggerated though...:

Would you buy NOW this game for £24 ?? Lets sey it has good physics...

Think of this example as an analogy to LFS in 5 years into the future with the new games then out....
