WD40 is not a lubricant if that's what you intend to use it for.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I find the scammer comment amusing (and somewhat misguided). Scawen is the most inept businessman I've ever come across - he's basically an outright communist. Despite how bright he is I don't think he'd be able to figure out how to do a scam, and if he did he'd find a way of not making any money out of it.

Fantastic post Becky
I might be frustrated at LFS' development speed, but there is NO question of it EVER having been a scam...
Scawen and Victor are top peeps

I still have great fondness for LFS and still hope to return one day
The kart meet was a great spinoff (lol) I can't believe it's been so long
Since I raced with you guys.
Gotta admit, I was a fan of the rally pack idea too, had most fun doing rally x
I'll do an 'arnie' though... I'll be back! :-)

Hi Dave ;-)

Hi there peeps,
Been a really long time, but I visit once in a while to see how things are progressing with LFS,
I originally stopped racing as the physics were in flux, but I see, they still are hehe.
I'm wondering if there are anymore oldtimers who still race or lurk here in the background, waiting for a significant upgrade to LFS before shelling out for a new rig to play it on like me?
Hello to everyone else too btw

Bloody Google Browser

to be fair, tristan (hi there m80 btw ), that was NOT my point, I think S2 was rushed out to please 'us' (moaners, enthusiasts, whatever) and carried that 'alpha' tag WAY too long.
Me losing interest, in retrospect, was MY fault

there are track combos and cars that I've NEVER raced, imagine that

How about this for a reason for losing interest;

I played LFS back when it's system demands were so high that I could only run 1 car on track (very early demo days). Online was a joke, people who'd been around longer than me were using their cars to do online Ballet, (looked like a hack to me hehe) I already had a wheel, was into racing 'games' and GPL offline. LFS was different, can't remember how I found out about it anymore.
With LFS, the 'weight' of the car directly translated to the feel of the wheel. I could see it's potential and was hooked.
...Anyway.. several upgrades later I had S1 and grew to love it all the more. It remained my number 1, it's development was inclusive, you really got the impression that the DEVs were into and 'in' the community.

My problem Started AS A RESULT OF MORE CONTENT BEING INTRODUCED (lol)
S2 was announced as 'alpha' and as such, buggy and soon to change.

there were exploits that needed fixing and they were fixed but I was holding out for a STABLE version so that learning to race again would be worth it and not patched out. I HATED the IDEA that there were bugs in it (dunno if that makes sense to any of you oldies that might still be around) so I had S2 and waited, didn't race much, just waited, when I 'popped back' to see the lie of the land, boy was I slow, S2 was still alpha (read unstable - in my eyes anyway) and lo and behold I became a frustrated forummer hehe

I think I probably participated in the first of these type of bashing threads way back then (sorry)

anyway, I've just heard (in this thread actually) that S2 is NO LONGER alpha!!

Did I miss a meeting?

Don't go take a look at the car at night it hides a multitude of sins

Scawen,
Have a drink, kick back and watch the tennis

Thanks for the reply, I forgot to mention that I'd already tried that, I also tried just using the lappy's own keyboard/touchpad thingy, just to see if that damned beeping would stop, but alas... no joy

Hi I read the suggested related threads about this problem, but apart from the fact that I'm using a logitech wireless kb/mouse on my laptop, I can find nothing in common with other people's difficulties.
Thing is, I've not raced for ages so I thought I'd check out how LFS development is coming on, so I installed S2 y alpha then the latest test patch (Y24) on my laptop. and when I move from the settings menu into the garage and then also when I go to the track, I get the invalid keypress sound beeping at me at exactly 1 second intervals. annoying.
I 've tried reinstalling LFS without the patch and the same thing happens.
Could it have something to do with the fact that this seemed to start after updating the gfx drivers (ati radeon express) but I'm not sure, because I updated the drivers for LFS specifically, (no need for office apps etc) and I can't remember hearing the beeping prior to the gfx update.
I'm running Vista 32 with 2G ram and Sempron 3500+

I've tried turning caps lock on and off, reasigning keys etc. but I can't get to the cause..... Really appreciate any help offered Thanks

I know this is a bit late but hope you are on the mend Becky

I remember NEEDING a new PC just to be able to have more than my XFG on track, been through a fair few since then..

Mentioning skidmarks.. anyone remember...

...rikk

I allowed X30 to auto update to x33 before unlocking it..
then when I tried to unlock it, LFS thought it was an incompatible version So I reinstalled X30 unlocked, then updated.. problem, but only a little one

Sorry if I missed this in a previous post

Happy Birthday Scawen





PS.. Ben, I thought it was Lager you were drinking when that bas**** I mean 'security gentleman'(tm) nicked your beer? maybe I'd had one or two too many :P

KEBAB!!

Quote from Infiniti :

When the LFS peanut gallery had the karting event in the UK and Scawen showed up in an M3 that he claimed was his.

ask GP4Flo, he had a ride in it, jammy git

I've raced Scawen and Victor, but never knowingly in LFS itself (me and dave mantis9 lost btw) but on a kart track at one of the LFS meet-ups.
Scawen even bought a round in the pub after
I think Franky missed out on that one lol

no probs Ben, I had tried to change the title, as I realised that it didn't actually say much about the topic, so thanks m80, that's the title I would have come up with if it wasn't so late in the evening

I followed the links and apparently LFS is an 'intel simulator' lol

edit... I misquoted .... it's an intel 'game' lol

sorry I missed it Scawen, but I'm sure you had a good day with the 'Roberts' family, I have been reminded (not that I've ever been aware) that it was my 40'th this weekend... feels worse than it should... life begins @40 n all that crap.....
suddenly I had a load more cards than I normally would... people enjoy OTHER people gettin older.... GITS!!!!! hehehe

Vic, you're a top bloke, I hope you find something enjoyable and fulfilling to do now, I'll miss you and hope that you DO pop back in here as soon as you feel up to it

PS you owe me a pint lol
