What happens when you remove the patch?

This has only happened since patch V. I have had the game for well over a year now and had no problems whatsoever.
I have tried everything I can think of, I have turned everything options wise down on the game but it makes no difference if they are high or low.
I renewed all the drivers and I am just about to remove my anti virus to see if that helps.
Would be nice to hear any solutions from the devs!!!

Thanks for your help

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Just wondered if anyone can help me with this problem. Since downloading the new patch, I seem to be getting low frame rates. I never had the problem before th patch. I have installed the latest direct x, I have got the latest drivers for my graphics card, I have reinstalled the game, I have defragagged, adaware etc etc but still have the problem.
Machine spec:- 3.2gig, P4, 1gig Kingston ram, 6600GT BFG Tech card.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am having a problem with my break pedal on my MOMO, it seems to be sticking on 12% in use after about 1/2 hour of play. It seems to be OK if I unplug it from the USB port and then plug it back in for about 1/2 hour but then it starts sticking again. Does anyone know if theres a fix for this.
Many Thanks

So, don't change this thread to other section, please.

It's an alert, if you want to call it so.

Scawen my far far away friend, you are just losing space in the market.

We need some news, not news like progress report, but real new game's things, and we hope those can't be so hard to implement.

We are about to receive NK Pro, and just finish to get GT Legends...

GTL has no bugs in physics, is based on real cars and real tracks, and have so many more appeals that is becoming hard to keep playing LFS.

Scawen, Victor and Erick, my dears, why don't you open your code to helpmates around the world? I'm sure they'll help you with many things that surely take big chunks of time and you could concentrate yourselves in that is most important, that is, gain market.

We need to resolve the grip issue, and we need to resolve the downforce issue, and the countersteer. We need new tracks, and perhaps could have night races and rainy races...

We need more sounds effects, like broken glasses, body noises, and perhaps better knock sounds...

And this game is not so hardcore as it should be, considering its purpose, to be a simulator, cause, as an example, you can downshift from 6a to 3a without broke the engine.

We need news. And I know, or maybe I judge to know, that you've got a rest, but now is time to back to work, cause the concurrency is working hard.

I'm not here to say what you must to do. I just don't want to see this marvelous idea going down. One thing you won't tell, is that the customers don't warned you...

.....
.....I would like to point out a couple of things to you. First of all, GTL might not have any physics bugs but it sure has hell has got a fps bug as did the first one being GTR. RFactor, which I also own, looks all nice but its just a mod game. When I pay for a game I dont want to have to wait for people to mod it so I would just like to say I dont care how long it takes them to finish this game cos I will be there waiting. I think the game is best around...

Hi guys, if you want lfs to look as best as it can right now, you should have it running on higher res textures (dont leech this if your card has like 16mb )
Here's the higher res skies that weren't distributed with lfs to keep size down and possible memory problems to a minimum. however, anyone with a normal decent card of 64mb onwards should have no problem running these skies (in fact maybe 32mb is enuff but i didnt test )

pack includes 2048x sky textures for:

Fern bay - sunny conditions
Kyoto ring , Aston, Blackwood - cloudy conditions
Westhill - cloudy conditions, complete new hemisphere (fresh out of the oven)
Westhill & Aston - evening conditions
Westhill & Aston - sunny conditions
2 UF skins 100% by don

hemis were done for S2 during dev time, coz i believed lfs could look much better using decent skies, at an early phase done by me, nuno maia, and then don ( ondrej zeman ) came along and helped, first "just" taking pics for me to build, and down the line becoming a full-fledged hemi constructor, very prolific, and that can do the whole process now (quite complex pipeline) . Clap clap for my jedi. In later hemis i just did post work. Dont ask me who what or when. its been going for over a year.
He did climb mountains, leave home, ride bikes or car to remote locations etc, looking for the perfect spot (he actually never found a perfect spot, but we and some cg magic powder could overcome that). he was as commited as me, if not more, to bringing a better looking lfs to all, besides ourselves.

you can download the update here

unpack to your lfs\data\ dir

http://pwp.netcabo.pt/kidcodea/fb.gif

this is just a quickie i have around in my hd, but don may post more pics later. im very busy now and have to do other stuff not lfs related. all the best and enjoy the only real sim next to n2003

ps: thanks to eric and scawen for listening.

..Sorry for sounding a bit stupid. You have put unpack to LFS data Dir but I can find the data file dir? cant seem to find no file named dir. Sorry if this sounds a bit thick

Banning some one for crashing into you after the race is over? Thats a bit harsh if you ask me. Theres no problem in crashing into other people after a race is over, it can be quite fun actualy.
I wouldnt ram some one who looked like they where driving proper laps (they might have just joined and be warming up for next race), but you say you were parked, so you were fair game

Its just bad luck your wheel may have suffered problems from the violent forces. Perhaps turn down the FFB?

if u think thats fun u need to get a life ..fool

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Hi all, noticed recently there are quite a few LFS racers in the community about my age - 33 but 32 next May . Thought I'd start a thread to show the diversity of LFS racers.

Some come on, how old are you?

35..feeling 55 at mo

Is there a demo of rFactor? I didn't think there was. I won't pay for something that I don't know whether it will run on my machine or not. I'd love to try it, but I highly doubt it will run. That's what I love about LFS, I can run it!!

there is a demo of rfactor on the offical site

My basic aim is to see the response from two different sides of the scale, if you do not want to be apart of this, simply decide not to respond.

iv got both games..sims wot ever u want to call um..rfactors good for moding which im not into .sounds are good but lfs is more me...just my 2 p's worth

Well there are lots of UK Teams. I cant really recommend a team because it is down to personal preference.. If your into a great laugh, nothing too serious and have a good sense of humour. then you might want to check out ATC.. but ATC only accept people who are willing to have a laugh.. nothing too serious.

Otherwise you have teams like Cyber, and T7R and (there are so many good ones, i cant name them all.)

If you go to the "Teams" section of this forum and post what you are looking for in a team. You will get alot of answers there.

thx for that i will do. i just want to have clean race;s. sick of people taking me out on the public servers ...i no we was all new once but it still gets on ones tits
