Quote from Bob Smith :

Do you know what resolutions TVs run at? The text on consoles has to be so big to make it clear. You'd never get all the text on screen that PCs can manage and keep it readable. Just try running LFS at 640x480 with 8xAA (since TVs don't really suffer pixelisation) and just look at the menus and the final positions list.

With so much needing to be changed, license fees for production, and generally targeting the wrong audience, I can't see LFS going onto consoles in the current state of the world.

640x480 ?

You do have a PC monitor no ? Then it´s up to 1360x768 ...

The result; I don’t want to leave the seat in front of the DELL UltraSharp 2005FPW. The Xbox 360 looks amazing here, from the dashboard to all the games played. High resolution videos look as good as when played on the desktop computer that is also attached to the monitor as well.

I´m a PC fan and so is a friend of mine but he also owns consoles and the Xbox Live features with PGR3 really are amazing.

You get a rank and are put in race classes so you will compete with racers at the same level. You can also watch the races on xbox live tv with nice features

Maybe just now it´s not possible or practicable to port LFS to consoles but there really is no reason why some day there should not be real sims for consoles.

After all it was a console with its arcade games which brought us the realistic 900 degree wheel and not a PC ... strange no ?

If people were more open minded they would see the benefits of a consoles but no console = arcade and it will never ever change. If you think so it won´t for sure.

The inputs aren´t a problem and the graphics aren´t either and i´m sure there is also enough CPU power with the next gen consoles.

In fact there are some people who think that it would be nice to have future simulations like FS 10 for consoles. You could play it the way its meant to be played on the release date because its already optimized for the hardware. Shorter development cycles etc.


I don´t think its bad to set a standard for mass production. What would it be like when they would build cars with a billion different not always compatible parts to choose from ? No one would buy them probably.

Maybe in the future there will be and more different hardware designed for games/sims only. Again it can´t be bad to specialize in something. If you work and play with the same machine that´s also a compromise. It´s not really optimized there will always be ressources wasted and not used because of the PC architecture.

Quote from Fordman :

I remember a thread like this back in the RSC forum days, and just found this.



So maybe that is the wheel above. The post I am refering to is this one:

Best of luck to your friend.

I still have this wheel but i do use a DFP now because the pedals broke. The wheel itself is in a very goood condition as i did not race that often and never applied much force.

You can have it for free just postage and packaging.

Quote from GP4Flo :

That's true. When I'm driving, my passengers usually push their imaginary brakes

Quote from bbman :

Mine too... I wonder why...

Because

a) They aren´t used to speed

b) They are used to speed but fear the lack of control

c) They think your driving sucks !

I know this saying : If you have a lot of respect then that´s ok but if you have fear then don´t ride !

Something around these lines anyway.

If you feel nervous before a competition or have fear of an accident that´s also ok but if you race ride or whatever it should switch off automatically because otherwise just forget it !

If you really feel just a tiny bit fear then you will not be able to concentrate 100 % on what you should be doing : racing. Fear does mean lose of control you will not act normal.

I think what ayrton senna 87 said is quite right !

Don´t you know this : You drive on the wrong side i mean on the passenger side and you push your imaginary brakes pedals when someone else is driving ? Sometimes really hard You would not do this when you would be driving !

Whatever. The germans drinking beer is common too and true. No problem. They were in front of a night club or whatever and you can see this one guy who can´t even walk straight anymore. I did not imply all russian are always drunk or so.

Why do you think the movie is complete shit ? I could not understand it but the feeling was quite good !

Is there an app which displays the (top ten) world record times and gaps for the sectors while hotlapping ?

That would be useful !

How much time did you put into this project ? That´s great work !!

Quote :

studenten-geld-beutel-tauglich
freely translated could it say that it's "student-low-budget-friendly".

In addition : Student(en) = student(s) Geld = money beutel = bag tauglich = suitable

Student(en)/geldbeutel is a Nomen : student(s) purse
student(en)/geldbeutel/tauglich is an adjective which means student-low-budget-friendly or suitable for the income of a student or whatever. It´s not that hard is it ?

P.S. If you think german is bad try this :

igazságtalanságunkkal = mit unserer Ungerechtigkeit (with our unfairness)
von: igaz = wahr (true)
igazság = die Wahrheit (the truth)
igazságtalan = ungerecht (the truth/less=unfair)
igazságtalanság = die Ungerechtigkeit (the unfairness)
igazságtalanságunk = unsere Ungerechtigkeit (our unfairness)
igazságtalanságunk + val = igazságtalanságunkkal

That´s the english translation which comes close i think.

Maybe we should start a language discussion in the offtopic forum that´s fun

Quote from detail :

That's true. As usually a witty person jokes on vodka. BMW is quite valued and prestigeous in the european part of the country, so some our fellows having seen this were yelling like mad.

So russians don´t drink vodka and the guys in the third video were completely sober ? Yeah, right.

I´ve been to russia and well ... i also drove with a guy in a black BMW lol

They are so nuts about BMW they even did produce 2 movies : Bymep aka Beemer. oh and part II

I think the message is : Russians like dragons !

...


and lots of Vodka illepall

Quote from Takumi_Project.d :

are you joking?

here's a screenshot of windows "choking" as you'd call it.
http://img.photobucket.com/alb ... Takumi_Projectd/owned.jpg

p4 3.0, 512mb of ram.
I have LFS, LFSViewer, Email Client, Opera with 3 tabs open, MSN Messenger, Skype, media player playing initial d, winamp playing an mp3, windows explorer AND ADOBE PHOTOSHOP!!

please note my LFS is all set to maximum detail settings (which yours clearly aint) and im still at over 60fps.

linux may finally be stable but if you think windows chokes under the same situation, think again

i wouldnt usually reply to a thread like this, and indeed i am no windows fanboy, but i think credit should be given when its due.

and if you're a gamer running linux, you're just stubborn.

Agreed. I use both WinXP and Linux but stability was never an issue with XP. In fact i got more crashes with Linux but that might be because i´m new to this OS or it doesn´t like my hardware. It even hang on install because it wouldn´t download the updates and died ... Suse Linux 9.3


I still like it and it´s a good secure alternative OS and one should be open minded, right ? Oh and it comes with lots of free software you can work with.

P.S. That scene from Initial D Episode 22 was so funny. I wish they would produce a new stage dedicated to Kenji-senpai and the gang

You need to be optimistic

Bad start = surviving T1 !

You finished?

I replaced the lock.
But you got a real problem with that door.

You fix the lock?

Nah, I replaced the lock.
But you gotta fix that door.

- Just fix the lock!
- Sir, sir, sir. Listen to me.

What you need
is a new door.

- I need new door?
- Yeah.

Okay. How much?

I don't... Sir, you're gonna have to call
somebody that sells doors.

You try to cheat me, right?
You have a friend that fix door?

Nah, I don't have a friend
that fix doors, bro.

Then go and fix the ****ing lock, you cheater.

You... You know what?

Why don't you just pay for the lock
and I won't charge you for the time.

You don't fix the lock!
I pay! You think I'm stupid?

You fix the ****ing lock,
you cheater!

- I'd appreciate if you'd stop calling me names.
- Then fix the ****ing lock!

I replaced the lock!
You gotta fix the ****ing door!

You cheat!
You ****ing cheater!

- Fine. Don't pay.
- What?

- Have a good night.
- What? No. Wait!

Wait! You come back here!
You fix the lock!

Come here! You fix my lock!

Fix the ****ing lock!

Quote from Mogar :

I think that most of those complains are because several language related patches were released, when most of the problem with lfs weren't language support, but some few physics bugs that sometimes are annoying. Language support is more a cherry on the top of the cake than a real need.

If you live in a country where they teached you russian or other languages than english it IS a real need.

I think and hope NKPro will be good but it´s even more a 'niche' sim. At least at the time of the release the content is very much limited.

We have to accept that the perfect sim needs time. If NKPro hires a bigger staff and progresses faster with the same amount of quality well than they will win the race. Easy as that. I said IF...

If i feel bored with computers and the current state of technology i quit spending money and do something else in the best and most realistic freeware engine we do have.

Quote from durbster :

I expect nKPro to be less compromising than LFS but I'm sure the policies will have been tamed from the approach taken for Namie. The inability to reset, or turn damage off was one thing that I always felt was wrong, for example. It's all very well saying that's because it's a hardcore sim, but when you're learning a new track and the gravel traps and grass doesn't work as they should, it's incredibly frustrating to find yourself sliding towards the wall for the 10th time.

If you ask him nicely maybe he´ll put a "They will learn" TM FFB electroshock device into the box. Hardcore sim for hardcore racers.

Very light and i must say bike engines are fun ! What you get is 427 bhp/ton WITH driver and 50% fuel. Use the slick mod ! Very precise handling and easy on the tyres.

Next thing is LX4 with Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R engine. Can you say 636 ccm and 14.000 RPM ?

Ok, now for something with a bit more punch and a wide powerband.

LX6 got the M3 engine

HaHa this thing pulls like hell. Woosh. Heavier for sure but 456 bhp/ton.

Someone should make a functional tractor pulling or monster truck mod illepall
