THX for the CLEAR answer!

I had an Acer AL2416 w/s build back in 2005.

I was watching something on INSANETY at YouTube
with my headphones on when suddenly I heard

BOFF - BOFF - BOFF through my Headset,
so in the first moment I did not understand what sound that was
and where it came from.

As the Screen was off and my wife got up from the noise in another
room I quickly switched of the main-switch on the energy-bar.

I was shocked! It smelled a little bit, some kind of sweet smell,
not like burned plastic...

Well, when I turn it on now it shows faintly the ACER-sign and then
there is nothing to see.

I will find out if Acer can repair the Monitor at an reasonable price...

But also I would like to get me a new Monitor, so I spend the day
today researching.

As I decided to NOT spend too much money, I dropped the Idea of
30" Zoll allready and thought of a

Novita 2602WHD, which is 26" as well and has good references at

a reasonable price. (That one only has a 1920x1200 Resolution),
so its not what I started the thread off with.

But the question of resolution had to be asked anyways...

Thnx for the answer again,

LFS 2560x1600 Support?

Hi there!

Since my 26" lcd screen litterally exploded I have to look for something new.

Question: Does LFS support 2560x1600 pixel modus?
(if my grafikcard and screen does?)

Hoping to hear from You soon, Dandy
How much would a copy of S3 be worth for You?

Hi Racers!

I have a dream.

I see myselft paying some 69,95 Euros or so for a Copy of LFS S3.

Maybe I´m a Dreamer, but I´m not the only one...


How much would YOU be ready to pay for

Hi!

Can someone please write a clutch - monitoring
tool, so that the driver can learn in which situation
he would do how much damage to the clutch for
what ever reason...
Dandy Dust

Hi there!

First: I´m very impressed by the number and quality
of most replies!

Just to name it: I drove FZR on SO4 and experienced
the clutches burnout in about lap 25.

If I think of my setup I get the feeling that I break
with the engine a tiny little bit too much (not like mad!), because I tend to drive on soft brakes to
save tyres an because I tend to overbreak, as my
tutours found out...

Somebody also wrote, that there is practically no chance of "escaping" the pitstop without overheating
the clutch.

What I also want to stress on is, that I cannot cool
it down in SO4/FZr for example, even if I drive much
much slower.

Spinning, (especially tough when not Your own fault) might also easyly ruin the (longrun-) race.

Statements that just say, "if Your clutch overheat,
that because You are a bad driver" and "this clutch
behaviour is particulary realistic" I find a little bit
shallow, especially in a game, where only 3 to 4
cars a "realistic" models, the rest fantasy...

Besides the FBW (which I learnd to handle quiet well), what is the "reality" of a FZR car?

ONE other point: I NEVER see any racedrivers car stop unmanouverable, when I watch
races (on TV). I know these people mostly drive well, but would the problem not just
occure more frequently, if it was a typical racing problem.
Oil temperature, water and engine overheating, YES.
Brakes explode from heat!
But clutches, I never hear of a clutch explode or giving up...

BESIDES THAT: Unfortunately I get a sense of
chauvinistic behaviour and expression of some
native english speakers in this and I have to state
many other internet forum, which put a bad light
on those figures attitudes.

hi out there devs!

Wow, how I like LFS!
After 200.000kms I have to state something:

The clutch thingy (weather realistic or not) has
not improved the game.

I just had a 45lap lague race with the GTR class
in South City Long (City Liga)

Well, I was aware of a possible clutch problem
from the beginning, but whatever You do, in
this combo the clutch can only go hotter, not
cool down.

It should become more "controlable" like the
tyre - temperature, which I can influence quiet
a bit.

If anything I wish from the developers then:

Make LFS a racing game again, rather then a
"beware of the clutch" - trail.

We have to clear the PBs!

It will be great fun to redefine once standarts.

By the way: I´d love to see an automatic ranking
system, that hands out some kind of ranking status...

Hi there Developers!

After all I am enjoying the patch Y very much.
Especially the improved tyre wear!

Also the new physics and changes on various cars
are a good job!

I just do not understand, why we don´t cancel
the old PERSONAL BEST LAP times in favor of
the new game features!

With the hotlapping system I am not as familiar,
but I think this might draw similiar conclusions.

What do You guys out there think about this idea?

Best regards from vienna, Dandy Dust (Zone 30)

Who or what exactly do YOU THINK You are, moondings?!

I do compare the wreckers-barricade guys with the
bulldogs we send into other countries as an example
for this principle:

Fighting for peace is like ****ing for virginity!

And I exaclty argue about topics (like banning in a toy game) the way I decide to argue and nobody tells me
to shut up.

With best regards to the moon, Dandy

PS: (edit) No that I see the ***-Stars in my writing a story comes to my mind
that I lived through: I went to a local gamers-shop here in vienna and I was offered
the same game twice in englisch language: The one was the European, the other the
U.S.-Version.
So I asked the guy, why there are two versions if they are both in English...?
The salesman anwered me: In the European Version there is no violance allowed,
in the american no s.e.x.-scenes !

What is unclear?

There is no justice when there is no law, just executors
of their own powers:

(Thats why I say: In LFS-Land as well as in Iraq.)

Selfdeclarde prosecuters, judges and executoneres:

This is the opposit of what is intended, if at all:

Justice after a LAW based on rules, with the possiblities

of a court and so on.

SEE: We are 700n Drivers on the Servers at a time:

This should work like an Inuit (a.k.a. Eskimo) society,
with people talking to each other instead of inventing
prisons: We dont need that at all - this is just a brutal
illusion. Small comunities should rather sort their problems out by the means of the word, not of the sword!
If this is not possible at this level, good bye mankind!

Offending my Englisch reveales the level of Your mind,

ban issue
Dandy Dust

One argument also is:

the 8 vote ban leaves the majority principles of democracy:

THAT WAS THE GOOD THING ABOUT IT:

THE MAJORITY made the ban,

not a rather small MINORITY OF VOTERS,

like 8 out of 30 or so...

If You have a server with 30 people driving,

how must they know whom to ban and who not...


Its interesting how some people dont want to discuss

this very intersting topic, a major question about the

atmosphere in the game, which has become very

uncomunicational with "institutions" like wreckers

barricade, witch in my opinion only servers the

omnipotence-fantasies of those who invented it.

THOSE PEOPLE ESTABLISH THEIR PRIVATE LAW ON

INTERNATIONALLY PUBLIC GAME SERVES!!

THEY BAN WHOEVER THEY WANT FOR WHATEVER

REASON for lifetime - AND "SELL" their opinions to

other game-server-owners!

This is very weired - more weired than the subversiv

action of players "driving the wrong way" for whatever

reason.

If WE, the LFS-Community don´t keep up with respect

and dolerance for other ways of life, we will end up like

america.

With as everyday reality, for "HOMELAND-security"

instead of "who is my oposit", with the "axis of evil"

instead of a pluralism of cultures and people, as well

as religions.

Lets NOT have Eight Eggs Votes on, who ever does not

please the G8,

I dont think that americans or british have any right to put their opinions to any subject as long as they continue to vote for governments, who drop their bombs
on any country in the world, that they feel pleased to.

The massage is:

If You have a server with 28 Players on it
8 Drivers is a small number to BAN another driver!

What´s so unclear about that?

Ban horny Sams just press "1", without having an
idea whats going on.

The Ban Time goes for what ever the server says...

Put the eight man on the kick - option, and leave the
ban on more than 50&5 of the drivers on a server,
might be a suggestion.

The NEW RULE DOES NOT SERVE THE GAME,
after me. And thats why I open a thread on it,
whatsoever any of You GURUS might be up to.

Bann the banning banners, Dandy
8 Votes Ban
Dandy Dust

Dear Sirs!

I made a test:

Ban anybody for NO REASON on a full server:

You will always find 8 clowns, who press the "1" button.

I did it: I just let 3 drivers ban, for no reason at all,

who were in front of me.

BANNERS PARADISE:

Nobody knows for how long: I love it:

MANKIND AT LAST!

Hi there!

I have solved the problem:

One has to download and istall the newest (official) patch from the links on the lfs.net site and istall that.

Then the programm referes to the NEW master server
and with the correct username and GAMEpassword the
opening takes 2 seconds.

Hi there!

I am getting Ideas now myself.

Has the master server of LFS moved resently?

My Installations CD is 1 1/2 years old.

Should I rather install a download version that will

"corespond" with the new master server?

Asks, Dandy Dust

Hi there!

THNX for Your quick responce.

I will not get connected with the master server.
Even when I disable the firewall completely.

This does make it a Non-LFS problem, doesnt it?

My Standart LFS S2 Installation runs, my internet
connection works well.

Maybe I should update LFS manually first?

Hi there!

I am having the following problem:
As I wanted to try the newest incompatible testpatch I
installed LFS S2 annother time, to use the Test-Patch on
that installation.

Now opended the game lfs.exe which takes me to the
Demo and I try to unlock with my usual GAMEPassword.

It does not work and I habe checked on the Firewall and
also on the GamePassword which I redefined for that
porpose.

Can I not habe LFS installed twice on my PC?

Any suggestions?
