Quote from mclarenmatt :

Right might as well re-use my old thread

Im getting to the stage now where Im looking into booking everything up but I have a little question.

If I can ride any CC, could I for example buy a nice 400cc bike and get it restricted until Im 21? Then I could get it de-restricted again when I pass at 21.

yes you can, as long as you have your license for 2 years you can deristrict it

I find it funny how Dawesdust recognises major problems almost as cool features

Well there is a demo showing the in-game gameplay. Should hopefully feel like burnout paradise, but the cars slightly heavier. (which was good physics wise)

The HUD also looks sleek.

EDIT: found out there is at least one tuner: the Audi TT RS. I'm happy now. :P

wait wait wait, what do you class as a tuner???

Quote from ZiemO :

Dude, have you ever seen 300+ HP car (i.e. FZ5) being unable to drift?
Imo, even the weaker XRT will do the job nicely as well. So, you'd better not care about that, I'm sure it'll be great, as mustang said

what i think he means is that the drifters are used to how the physics are now, they would have to learn all again how to drift, meaning they will do it wrong :P

Quote from oli17 :

whats the difference between 32 and 64 bit and does it matter which i buy?

32 bit means that it cannot recognise more than 4GB of memory (note... this does not mean your hard drive, it means RAM, Graphics, etc.)
64 bit can recognise alot more than that, but if you are upgrading a laptop, it may not be 64bit compatible, so if your not planning to use more than 3GB ram, i'd stick to 32bit, just incase there is a compatibility issue

Quote from oli17 :

is that legit?? how can it be so cheap?

well, I'm on windows 7 that i got from that site for £36... So yeah, it's legit

Quote from rockclan :

Hey Scawen,

Today I decided to record some shots for a movie.

When putting my legal Fraps on Full-Size, the FPS on 30, I found out whilst recording my LFS would start lagging horrible. The FPS did not drop so something else was going on, this has to be since I have a ATI HD 4850 videocard.

When checking what it was I found out that my Quad Core had been pushing one core till 100%, and the other cores had been sleeping.

I know LFS is a single core program, but this is just wrong. People with slower PC's will have less problems then myself with a pretty expensive PC.

When normally driving the game runs as smooth as jelly, and when I start recording everything goes wrong.

Is there something you can do about this in the future, or is this a to far from my bed show?

Looking forward to your response.


Kind Regards,

Rocky

Fraps always lowers your framerate, you could try running LFS on one core, Fraps on the second and everything else on 3+4

As for the GPU overheating that was my question in the first place is it to hot?

Sod it i'll answer it myself, 60deg is not a healthy idle temp, time for some DIY.

like already stated, it depends on the card
