^^ Ive tried this, but when i start playing i go all laggy. any way i can stop this except converting to OGG? Cos the songs go all retarded sounding in OGG.

Hmmm... I dunno why people say this, because I have no problems playing music at BG. Maybe it is my system which is Hyper Threaded P4. So maybe it is better if you have true multi core or HT.

Anyway I run Winamp at BG (playing MP3s and net radio), which I control with my 'car radio' from LFS. I see no drop in FPS (WA seems to take 1% at most, and usually 0%).

Heh heh. That really made me laugh.

Actually that's what you get when total network idiots try to use those "hacking tools" freely available in the internet.

This reminded me about a story where somebody asks in IRC (or some other) about where he could download warez (pirated software). He was instructed to try site address 127.0.0.1. He complained it didn't work and he was told that he might need to remove "temp" files at first from the C drive. To do that he needed to type "format c:" in the prompt. And after that reboot the computer. For some reason he wasn't heard for some time (sorry but couldn't find the original story)

If you want few good laughs, check this site...

The server (PCT-motorsport) is still in the odd state and obviously needs rebooting. So trying to join it now at least shows the join error message... if there is any need seeing that.

I've been racing there quite often and never seen this before there. So I'm not sure if it is any better test lab than some other server. (unless it starts to show more often)

I'm not sure if this is worth reporting anymore if it is indeed fixed.

But this bug happened tonight in a big way. I've seen this only once before and then there was only 1 invisible car. But tonight all cars (3 of them) where invisible to all others! Never seen or heard in this scale. No join/pit/spectate or back to entry screen helped, even tryed several times. All decided to leave the server and rejoin. When tryed to reconnect it complained that it cannot get "guest information" from the server (which was already empty at that time) and connection was closed. Tryed this several times too, but always the same message.

The server is U20 and my version is U20 too.

If this makes sense compared to the found bug and fix, then fine. I was just little worried cause now it looked really bad and the whole server was impossible to join in the end

I guess you cannot drive this with a mouse... it doesn't even accept any changes in controls... even it is waiting for a new key... damn thing doesn't even let you switch to windows

By quoting an old saying (with a slight modification)...
"where do you need enemies when you have brothers like that"

I run Winamp on the background at it takes 0-1% power playing MP3s. I haven't noticed any drop in FPS (if there is, it must be only few FPS at most). I made my own control program to control WA from LFS (on/off, next track etc) and print the song names to LFS. The best thing in this is that any format WA support works (including net radio).

(I have 2.8GHz HT P4, 1Gig RAM)

Quote from LFSn00b :

Wtf? Radio? Oh, it uses winamp... k. Nice job on that speedtrap though.

Yes, well why would I write new code to support the 1001 different music formats, playlists, streamed internet radio, equalizers, etc etc. It uses Winamp just to play the music, but you can control it from LFS and LFS displays the song name when a new song starts. That's the point.

Everybody's talking about Geforce. I think Radeon X1950XTX would be faster sometimes (at least in single card mode). But it depends on the game and what AA, AF settings and what resolution. Also 1900XTX can be (and is sometimes) faster.

I was thinking about getting a new PC later, but currently i would probably go to GF7900GS for a decent speed/money ratio.

EDIT: But those cards are PCI-E only

Yep. There seems to be lot of funny things (like many driving close to 20 laps, even it is just a 7 lap race if even that is correct).

I haven't been driving WE lately, but seems odd if it is track related. Maybe it was just bad luck. I wonder if anyone has spottted this on other tracks

I don't know if anything is done to this, but i bet this is not #1 on the fix list. I just hope it doesn't record lap times for wrong cars (your 1:56.84 would be one heck fast lap with RB4 at WE1).

I regret only that my name so long and that lower case L and I look too much the same (in the game).

I had to invent a new user name for S2 because the name I used before collided with some other people in the demo side. Only 2 people have ever asked me what's the meaning/idea behind my name. So anyone guessing it here (and what it got to do with LFS) gets a virtual Jaffa cake.

Maybe he was payed by some other team to sabotage his team mate
Should we report him to the wrecker barricade, eh?

Quote from Phill :

its a disgrace to nice calling these pictures "nice"

Hmmm... he didn't say the pictures would be nice, only the xrg in S1

For heavens's sake do NOT put anything else than jpg, gif or png in web

Quote from Shotglass :

youd believe that until you see a maserati stomping on the brakes at an intersection to let everybody in although he has the right of way and the granny in a civic behind him getting pissed about this so she tries to honk the maserati out of her way

Yeah... right... but where do you see a wrecker? Or is she using the car as a tool to push the maserati out of the way? I was speaking about senior, not senile racers.

From my experience wreckers, cheaters etc are 99% under age kids.

On the demo side I knew one who was 57 (year ago, so now he is 58 i guess ). But not as old as Doorman.

I don't care how old someone is, but generally there are no wreckers among senior racers (well never met anobody so old that his/her reflexes are already so slow that he wrecks because of that). But the idea of a 60+ year old wrecker granny is just plain absurd

Did you give up already?

Is this ok? The numbering is bit odd, but 172 anyway

That place alone have car pics for 1-160, so this is quite insane

Illegal or not (in my opinion it is illegal), but the whole idea of driving such a distance in reverse is just plain funny and stupid.

There are WR attempts driving in reverse but they are different thing and done normally outside public roads.

Hmmm. What to say... judge yourself

I just wonder if he tryed to turn his head and look where he was going or did he use the mirror

Quote from Eric Tetz :

Anything more current? That's 5 years old, and refused to run on my PC. One of the video options was for Glide. *lol*

I suppose it is not the same as 4x4 evo 2 which came with my Radeon 9700 card. Cannot remember it having a Glide option and certainly it has more than 10 licensed cars (around 120?). I remember it had 2001-02 GMC, Chevrolet, Toyota, Nissan, Infiniti etc etc licensed off roaders, which can be upgraded with all kind of 'toys'(like turbo chargers and safari snorkels). So maybe that would be more "current". Quite ok graphics for it's age, but cannot give much credit for being realistic (more like arcade)

Quote from alland44 :

Is there somewhere you could download well trained AI`s ?

Don't know, but that would be a very good idea.

On some tracks they seem to able to do little better than elsewhere. Also if you give them 'handicap' like 100% fuel and 4 passangers for you and AI as light as possible you might get some kind of a race if you start from bottom of the grid. Haven't tryed.

Where's that fake hood scoop? I also think XRG would look more 924 than XRT. XRT would be more like May's 944
