Hi guys,

I am mad to this TV series since first season. The last one is somehow not as good as the previous but last episode was again back on track almost. Hank Moody reminds me somehow my last half of my 2010 but we live just once but David Duchovny really play it so f*ucking good. I heard he behave in real life like that as well so maybe that`s why it looks natural.

Karen - is romantic and sexy at the same time. I would like to have wife like her. After all his mistakes and personal issues she still loves him.
Rebecca - being kidna boring character like somebody would writing script just to have her there.
Charlie Runkle - being always funny and his sex failures and simillar things make me laugh.

I dont know which episode was the best one for me but I remember lately S03E08. Simply epic. I laughed so much after the end

Quote from dadge :i can see the potential in a survey like this. nice idea. good job DEVIL007.

Thank you. Good to see such a nice feedback with people ranting around .
My hope it has some potential. I asked for it to be sticky for a while.

Anyway, thanks you to all who voted so far.

Guys,
I doubt that radio has native iPod support at all. If it would then it is just a cable he need. I dont think the cable would cost 150 pounds, do you?

Its a box between the radio and iPod and that not native iPod support. Mentioned here many time but you can get the same for half. I think the dealer was laying when he told him when buying the car that the radio has native iPod support or he did not know himself. I would be not suprised.

Quote from hazaky :Hell ...

This poll should be:
128 or less
256
512
1024
2048 or more

Quote from majod :no, it should be less than 128, 128 or more, 512 or more, 1GB or more, 2GB or more

Just vote guys....there would be people asking I have 768 what should I vote. I tried to make it as more simple as possible and reflecting what all options have been in past untill now. Forgot to add 320 & 896MB thought. Also be realistic as the current textures use around 70-90 of grahic memory so 2GB option is really useless.

Quote from Flame CZE :My graphics card has a 1024 MB memory.

Anyways, if someone has got less memory than required for the hi-res textures, he can turn low res textures on in the graphics options.

Yes, but this is just devs to show what most memory they can use for graphic card and in the same time how much hires texture creation make sense.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :[B]WITH A FACTORY FITTED RADIO, NOT AN AFTERMARKET HEAD UNIT. GOSH.
On the actual topic, I spoke to a dealer in Westbury (about 40 miles away) who said it was still availible, my dealer was talking crap and that they had one in stock. It even came out at about £20 cheaper, so £170 fitted.

There is non difference between Xcarlink what what VW offer as official integration. You just pay for the brand 85 vs 150....almost twice of that. Its the same box which will be connected to your CD changer connector on the back of the integrated radio(just ask the dealer). So if this was only your decision to buy Golf V then I dont know what to say....

Most of these "integration" are not real one. They just provide another small box and as I said above just connect it to CD changer connector on the back of the radio.

That is notebook card and does not have onboard more then 512. The lest is shared memory which is much slower. Should not be counted in as memory graphic because it decrease the perfomance a lot.

I will update first post probably to make people understand it better.

It will go quickly down. I think the Deluxe version if it would be listed as well at the moment would be 170 dollars. Just comparing what`s the price difference between both models here. I think it could go down quickly by 20dollars in next weeks. Dunno....just guesing here a bit

Quote from hazaky :1024mb. Thats pretty much mainstream already.

The current textures are waaaay too old and small. For myself, i made myself 8k resolution textures for BL. Looks alot better now.

There a lot of people who use older graphic card with less memory. 1024 MB is for new cards as standard.I have been thinking how much effort devs need to put in highres textures. The bigger one the more work it requires.

How much memory have your graphic card?
DEVIL 007

Hi,

just had an idea after viewing Steam survey to help LFS devs to realize how much they can improve LFS texture to hi-res for next big realease or S3 to not to make it just for minor number of people who could use it as neither me or devs know what people use in general.

Please do not include shared memory(mostly used in notebooks) as it does not provide same performance(less bandwith) as onboard memory on the graphic card

The question is simple "How much memory have your graphic card"

Thank you for your vote in advance.

P.S.:Scawen, Eric. May I ask you to put it sticky for a while so you dont have to ask something like that any time later. Just to have enough data for you.

Ok, so your point is to have it like that forever? Does not make sense to me
Beside that modern cards does not have fixed pipelines like DX7 cards so I think some things from DX7 might be emulated on DX9-DX11 hardware. Emulation bring perfomance issue.

Quote from aaltomar :I think Scawen did not code the original graphics engine all by himself in the early S1 age. But maybe he has learned to how to code it by now... (hard to say as there hasn't been any significant upgrade in the last couple of years).

No he did not. He mentioned it few years back.

Those hires textures should be by default included in LFS.

Quote from MadCatX :I dunno if all those guys who post iR videos on YouTube run it on some low settings, but it seems to me that the only upper hand iR has over LFS are dynamic shadows.

Really, if LFS had better shadows and real reflections, it'd look better than iR or any other serious sim there is...

Look at some iRacing videos from this user.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... ST5to&feature=related

I think they show much better how iRacing looking in some aspects better over LFS but I agree with you in generally. I like more differences in track textures in iRacing. LFS needs better full dynamic shadows including inside of the car and few effects. Then it would look more realistic. I do not want something to be over done but improvements would make it up to date and add more immersion.

Also more highres textures as even the low models have now like 512MB of memory minimum. Even most of the old graphic cards people might use here will have at least 256MB of memory. Obviously there is demand for better looking graphic if people create their own hi-res attempts. It seems it was not realized with dev team.

Quote from MAGGOT :
LFS is the best looking simulator out right now

I really do not want to insult personally but I really dont know how to say it in any other way. You lost your glasses probably. I have to laugh really releasing such a statement...

Well I am used to conversion Dollar price = Euro price. That`s how usually works it here in Europe unfortunately.

I dont care about Scirocco. Unless its out then at current stage its vaporware for me.

Those delays kidna starting to remind me DukeNukem Forever unfortunately. They wanted to be it always better then anything around or make some things excelent till it got to the point they never realeased anything. If the rights did not buy another company and Gearbox finished it we would never see it. Sometimes its good to realize zourself zou reached point when it has to be realeased and zou can work on it better then not releasing anything.

I am just curious about technical aspects of a lot of things and games 3D engines as well so I am curious what LFS is built around and what support.

Future plans would be nice to know but maybe rather not to hear anything from Scawen as his cant do the PR very well. I remember that he said once most of the graphic cards will be DX9 the engine will got to DX9 as well to support new features and better eye candy. It add to the immersion of racing a lot if its done properly. What we have nowdays. DX10 cards and DX11 slowly penetrating market share and where is update LFS 3D engine. That`s maybe not better to know about future update of 3D LFS engine.

I am just curious about technical aspects of current one rather.

Quote from dadge :the problem is not lfs. he said it himself he's " never good at racing". so if he got better, he would be having more fun racing tighter races.
more practice = more fun.

Why it could not be LFS. Why game industry realized that with DLC packs and buying another content keeps people staying with game or brand. (it brings more money too ofcourse)

I feel the same as him and its not me but LFS.. I am trying iRacing because of the LFS is boring for me too.

Quote from Afterburn :I still have a floppy version of Win 95 rev A. All 14 or so floppies. I may even have a game or two from my Tandy...

Heh - old times. Good times.

I remember those times when I brought from my friend 10 or 10+ floppy version of some games and 1 or more had error. I was so made and it was happening quite often. We had to later pack every game in zip/rar. Funny times but the games were much more enjoyable, all the time new ideas and they lasted for ages. Not those 4 hour crap nowdays.

I remember also 8 inch one. We had these in school when I did not have my first computer yet.

Quote from cargame.nl :Its actually called a diskette (3.5 inch)... Floppy is much older (5.25 inch and bigger).

3.5 inch have been callled floppy as well but people started using more diskette. That`s why...
