Right I think I will phone my ISP up when I get back in from work. My only worry is, is that my dad likes to download the odd tune here and there, do you think this will be a problem.

It is a shame that LFS is affected by this problem. I would understand if it was going to use a lot of bandwidth would it be a big job for the Devs to do this? Or is it a simple case of just allocating a different port and just notifying all server uses etc?

Thanxs

I don't think it is unfortunatly. I think they were starting to upgrade people to 8mg a month or 2 back so maybe they are doing maintainance on the lines? Hopefully!

Right, I read through your posts (and thanks for that!) and I see that LFS uses the same ports as P2P software. My friend who is also on plus.net said his P2P has been running really slow, if at all. So it must be something to do with that!

So i don't really know what to do now. But thanxs for the help it's very much appreciated!

High Ping Problem

Hi,
For the past few days now I have had high pings in LFS.

When I refresh the server list all the servers are above 500 and if I join a server I lag badly. All my other online games haven't been affected some I'm wondering if its LFS or my ISP.

I'm based in the UK and my ISP is plus.net, I've never had a problem with them before so I just don't know where to start!

Any help would be much appreciated.

I was watching GMTV this morning and he was on! Glad to see he has a lot of support behind him and that over a 1/3 of the population had signed the petition.

Good Luck To Him!

Quote from m374llic4 :you can create your own projector for about 300$ thats just as good if not better then alot of the 1-1200$ ones

http://www.lumenlab.com/

I followed the plans and cost me a total of 345$ and it works AMAZINGLY well.

Hmm intresting.

I always like to be doing something and this could be a nice little side project.

Just a question though, how good is the quality (say using average parts) and did it take long to build.

lol, even at £3.95 its still a good price.

If anyone knows more please tell because its easy to hook a pc up to a TV and if the stream rate is good and watchable then its a good thing!

Thanks

The game is really fun actually. Obviously its not even close to becoming a sim but its still a good idea. If your dropping off some and you've got to wait for them, why not have a game of PGR3 with a real wheel and pedals?

I'm sure Netkar is going to have this, so it must be possible.

If it was going to be in LFS then you should be able to restart the engine manually numerous times but the Formula V8 only once or twice (if stalling is implemented)

ITS NOT SOCCER!! ITS FOOTBALL!!

anyway as said above someone did suggest it in the old forum and I think it would be a really fun thing to implement into the game.

I remember in S1 you would use a MRT5 as the ball, but now damage is implemented its not as easy to do. Still might be fun though.

do you have a manual clutch or an anologe clutch? Because you may have just needed to press this is to calibrate it.

Its happened to me a few times when I have been using manual clutch and the revs are much higher until you use the clutch.

But saying that you must have been changing gears and thus using the clutch. I'll try and look at the replay later on.

Nice vids. I remember that site from years ago when all I had was a 56k modem and I use to spend ages downloading vids.

You need to turn the Cut Throttle On Upshift option on tho

We can't have you cheating now.

Working for an investment company have you ever thought of allowing share holders in? I don't mean right now but in the future when S3 gets close. If you get the right people it could be a big step but you definetly don't want major shareholders telling you what to do.

Just a thought

Ye, tell me the name aswell so I can download it please.

But really why do people bother?

Its not big and its not clever, its just offends people.

Sweet Video! Cars handles nicely and its very quick too. We have a hill climb like that in the UK (goodward?) it happens every year and they send Formula One cars along with other cars and bikes up the hill. They've just added a rally hill climb too. Great Fun
