Quote from Jakg :XP is not the problem with the width limit - DX9 is.

Personally i'd go with SoftTH and then a very fast single card (i.e. a 1 GB 4870x2) with a second 8400GS or similar for SoftTH and maybe PhysX if needed as I find having windows see one giant monitor is rubbish if you want one app on one monitor and you want the convieniance of hitting "Maximise".

Again, any DX10 card can do a maximum width of 8192, this was one of the things the 8800GTX first brought in.

Not trying to be pedantic mate but your post suggests that dx9 (the software) limits your width

It is the Dx9 architecture that limits width

i.e. XP with DX9 installed with a DX10 compatible card is fine.

Yeah I use ultramon which should sort that for you

I aoslo think that certain cards are width limited

For example I think any of the G9x based GPU`s can do 5040

The code isnt that hard for the comparer,

Im happy to knock one up for you at the weekend if you like?

OK so a quick interface tutorial!
im not at home though so the code will be untested!

An interface is just a definition of a "contract" i.e. it allows the creator of an interface to define a contract that consumers of the interface must adhear to. now the beauty of an interface is that it doesnt care about the underlying types. As long as an object implements the interface, you can interact with that object without caring what type the object actually is.

Example

I have a load of different vehicle types and they can all be started so i define an iStartable interface. The interface has a start method defined that returns true or false

interface iStartable
{
bool Start();
}

I can now implement this with different types of vehicles

class Car : iStartable
{
public bool Start()
{
debug.writeline("Car Started");
}
}

class Truck : iStartable
{
public bool Start()
{
debug.writeline("Truck Started");
}
}

the good thing is i dont need to worry about their concrete type so for example i can do the following

arraylist myList = new arrayList();
myList.Add (new car());
mylist.Add(new Truck());

foreach(iStartable startable in myList)
{
startable.Start();
}



does that make any sense???

are you happy with what an interface is?

Doesn`t the sort method accept a class that implements IComparer?

If so just create your own compare class that implements IComparer..Check out MSDN for examples of this.

This class also can have properties to allow you to set what parts of a 'person' are checked before others

Im away at the moment so if you need the code knocking up you will have to wait until Saturday!!

you beat me to it burnout!!

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before..

www.touch-buddy.com

Basically its an app that allows you to send key presses across a network.

I use it for flight sims and LFS using a small 7" touch screen display next to my wheel. Its GREAT!!

Its very handy for all the buttons you need in various games! Just thought I would give it a headsup as I searched and couldnt find anything

Quote from hyntty :It has to be an uploaded hotlap.

But you only have to improve your AS2/FOX hotlap by 0.236 seconds

Other than that, you can find an oval setup for any car you wish from setupgrid/setupfield and do a hotlap within 103% of wr pretty easily...

I will jump on the server tonight and try and get some points!

Hi,

I would really like to get in this league if possible,

I have been away from lfs for about 2 years and before that played for about 4 months so would consider myself a beginner! however I dont have the points required on the CTRA server.

Will I be able to register? I will try and amass the points before the season starts!

Thanks in advance!
