Quote from Gills4life :Unlike the Toca series which for most of their games claimed was, "the real racing simulator".

Thats fair enough, remember the poll is between Grid & GT. I checked the Grid site and all it mentions from what i saw was "Its all about the Race". Thats fine by me, im glad its not trying to claim like GT is.

i voted for Grid because unlike the other choice, claiming somethings a real simulator doesn't make it so.

Everytime a new GT comes out i have a go hoping it has improved, learnt from that the hard way i guess.

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :If you mean widgets for websites to gadgets... then yes
The Amnesty Generator converts it for you

Sorry i meant Apple widgets, i asked because it seriously took 7 seconds to create an widget for what the OP wanted. Why the hell doesn't Windows have something similar.

Crap vid, but you get the idea

Quote from dawesdust_12 :That is the most cluttered dock I've ever seen! Am I the only person that keeps like.. 5 things + finder in my dock at one time?

Yeah i've never understood why some people need just about every app in the dock. For me its more about always used apps or quick links ie: Applications, Documents & Download folders.

I've got one. Does exactly what it said it would. But 350 pounds. What is going on there? Over 24 months i pay $168 (aus) for it. Such a handy and easy device to use. Some people at work ask to have a go. Theres now 7 others with it (Its the Apple club to the rest).

Quote from Dygear :the area it falls flat on is the text messaging, when it comes to MMS support. Basicly, it can do it, but it dose not like to, and some times it requires a special effort from your friends and loved ones to get pictures to your phone.

Firstly theres a difference between SMS (Short Message Service) & MMS...

Get your gf to email them? My gf does. In Australia, MMS is way over priced for what it does/provides. Yet an email, i can store in the folder i choose and grab it from anywhere (I use Gmail as my primary personal email account). Its funny to me, when i ask people why they need MMS in person... they always respond with a bullsh!t comment. Honestly MMS is normally used for naughty pics in most cases i've found (dont take it the wrong way, this wasn't directed at you).

I take pics with my phone of bad work site stuff and email them to my work address & CC my manager.

Quote from tristancliffe :and when it supports Bluetooth GPS recievers and TomTom. I'm still meaning to go and have a play with one in a shop, but not got round to it yet.

TomTom are making an App for the iPhone. Also until you get around to actually using one, then you'll understand the reason for the hype.

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :Anyone here ever go through a phase of boredom with LFS? Anyone going through one now?

O yes, im in my x month, i cant remember. I've run lfs to test in OS X and help admin a league race once "lately". I said to myself i'll come back to lfs in a year. By then there should be 2 or so new patches/content.

I've always been a driver rather than a forum poster over the years. Until now.

Quote from SR BaCkFiRe :engine damage perhaps?

Thats the first idea that popped into my head.

wellingtonsampaio: Are you over revving the engine when changing down gears? ie: changing down to quickly?

Quote from mrbogeyman :+1

When reading test patch threads I simply search for Scawen's posts to see anything that might be remotely interesting, e.g. he actually replies to a legitimate question.

I'm not slagging the other mods, but I reckon they should at least be working together with Scawen to seriously prune those threads. It is blatantly obvious which posts are spam. It's a thankless task I know, but I reckon it should be done. It shouldn't HAVE to be done, but some people just ignore all the guidelines and rules for the Test Patch area on the forum. I'll save my thanks for the full patch when it is released in the General section.

Totally agree with this. Either delete the spam posts or give me the keys . Then give em a little time away from the forums (about a month or two), hopefully cutting down on future thankless tasks.

As for a separate Thank you thread. O yes new idea.

Quote from Woz :Yep, just shows what a complete joke FF drifting is

When you see in car the handbrake is on 90+% of the time and the rears are just locked up most of the time. The RWD leaves him for dust when it leads the twin and blast pasts him when starting behind in the second.

FF just can't hold speed and just looks stupid. As I said earlier Apples and cheese, they do not compare

Thank you I'm glad someone understood what i was going on about. When i first watched that video, i even felt sorry for the guy... the amount of laughing from the Judges.

Just had the same issue as the OP. I solved this by completing the following;

- Confirm that LFS.exe has been added to allowed programs in Windows Firewall
- Right click on lfs.exe > properties
- Select the Security Tab
- Select "Authenticated Users" then change the permissions to "Full Control" > click the OK button.
- Run LFS

(This was under Windows Vista)

Quote from lfs-drift staff :is torque is closed ?
you got the answer

So the LFS Dev's approved your site as the Official Live for Speed Drifting website?

Thats the reason i asked, not because another LFS Drifting website was closed. Which happens to have nothing to do with my original question.

(Please remember before replying, that it doesn't matter if there are 1000 lfs drifting sites or none at all).

The way i see it, the problem isn't the community modelers, rather the process in which new content would end up being apart of the LFS. Off the top of my head the process for community created tracks could be.


1. LFS Team provide the community with documentation of what is wanted, time frames, limitations & information on required types of track & environment modeling. That will be need to pass the review stages.
2. LFS Team select people to be the community based Track Review Board (TRB). This board reviews community submitted tracks, rejecting them should it fail any of the LFS Teams constrains. Also giving the tick of approval with detailed information if a track passes.
3. Beta Testers, review approved tracks from the TRB. Again inline with a much stricter set of rules assigned by the LFS Team. Passing on more detailed information about the track.
4. LFS Team - Review approved tracks from Beta testers, decide to use or modify approved tracks, ready for the next patch of LFS.


Having this type of process quickly weeds out poorly or just plain "crap" content, which we're all afraid of. furthermore allowing only 1 track per user over a 3 month submission period, would allow both creator more time to ensure the track is up to standards. While allowing the TRB time to review all of the submissions.

Remember that over a 1 year period, the LFS Team might only review 1-4 tracks. Considering the high level of content the Devs have provided in LFS and would expect from community modelers.
