I have been using Avira Antivir for years now and I can recommend it too, it's free and quite good too.

Quote from yoyoML :

Sounding like being on nuts doesn't make a good car. Much noise + much vibration = structure to take and damp that, or age real quick. Besides a quiet car lets you hear the tyres.



Having a gearbox doesn't make a good car. It is best that the powerplant does not require a gearbox in the first place. A gearbox is heavy, has lots of moving parts, eats power and needs driver attention.



Releasing a smell of petrol doesn't make a good car. Sure if you'd like to smell that it's your preference.

You are not in the point.

And BTW why I would want to hear my tires better than I do already?

Quote from BAMBO :

I mean in rFactor you get that feeling that no car other then the F1 has a rear anti roll bar and every time you over do it, it's impossible to retake control while in Evolution the problem is a bit solved.

I had that problem when I didn't get proper FFB and didn't know how to setup the game and cars for something like G25. Nowadays I don't have any problems maintaining a good slide.

LFS maybe is more realistic, but I can say that when driving a good mod in rF it feels as good and similar to real life than in LFS too.

Quote from Gabkicks :

And people call me a lfs fanboy... Show me an unedited screenshot of LFS that looks better than this?

I can't explain this really, but I have noticed that rF can look very good on screenshots, but somehow when you put that all in motion it starts to look stupid. With the cartoonish way I was talking about.

Quote from mclarenmatt :

Don't make me laugh.

I'm not saying this as a "LFS fanboy" or something, but I actually do think that LFS looks better than rFactor.
rFactor can look fairly good in a good track, but it's the colours, the whole game looks like a cartoon or something. I think lighting in LFS is a lot more realistic looking.

It's 40 minutes and then the year will change here too.
But I'm not actually doing anything this year and I'm fukking bored.

Oh well, happy 2009 everyone.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Don't forget "Sven Co-Op" for HL1. awesome, i must say

Yeah, I just didn't mention it because Bladerunner did already.

There's even coop mod for HL2.
COD5 also features coop campaign.
Left 4 Dead is all about coop.
Far Cry coop mod.

I have played more coop games too, but can't remember more now.

I dunno about that, but even if it does I'm not going to spend all my money just for GTA IV. Quad cores are still quite expensive and the performance gain against X2 isn't that awesome really. Sometimes the X2 is even better with lower price.

Quote from mclarenmatt :

Just out of interest what Processor do you have?

I currently have a Athlon X2 @3.0GHZ with 4GB of 800MHZ Ram and a Radeon 4870 512MB.

I wanna get GTA for the PC (Loved it on the 360) but i might wait till i grab a Quad Phenom and some slightly faster Ram before i get it. Maybe wait for another patch or two as well

Athlon X2 4400+ @ 2.425 GHz (:razz and 2 gigs of DDR2 800 @ 402.6 MHz (:razz.

I'm maybe going for just Athlon X2 6000+, because of the good price/performance value I think and no more cores for me yet, because it's quite rare to be able to use the all performance of 4 cores.

Yep that's what I meant.

Ahh I love my new toy.

PNY 9800GTX+



GTA IV runs now a lot better, tho yet it could be better. I think I need better processor...

A bit OT but the most big effect between my old 8600GT OC and this seems to be with Crysis, with old card I was just able to play it with low settings without AA, but now I have everything on Very High (DX10 hack FTW) and 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 8xAF and it is nicely playable, no mouse lag or anything.

Quote from theirishnoob :

an LFS'er...


with taste ??

Yes, I have a good taste. Apparently I haven't been spamming enough because it seems not to be common forum knowledge that I'm an oldskool Escort nutter.

Quote from tisy0 :

It works with any card aslong as you've got a Nvidia PhysX Card.

Is there even a separate card for Nvidia PhysX only? All I know that new Nvidia Graphics cards feature PhysX.

For my knowledge ATi cards don't feature this? But my brand new 9800GTX+ does.

Hmmm... I thought that's just an "effect" to simulate the shape of the dials, you know the outline is a bit more closer to the driver than the dials itself and that's why they look like that. I think it looks better than it would if they are in the middle.

Yes I mean multiplay, but I don't think it has SP.

Dunno if it's small enough for you, but http://www.warsow.net/
It's free, fun FPS MP game.

Hard to judge properly, but something like this:

1. Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth & Escort mk1 & mk2 BDA
2. Ford Cortina mk1 Lotus
3. Opel Ascona & Manta B 400
4. Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth
5. Ford Sierra XR4i 3dr mk1 V6

Yeah and for me to vote it needs to be "oldskool RWD rallycars".

I voted for shopping trolleys because I don't prefer anything really on that list, instead I prefer something like this:

Ok so I can't play GTA now because my D partition is fooked up.

Quote from mutt107 :

nice vids

Well hmm thanks.

I might as well post this here, this my first GTA IV video.
Contains clips of about three weeks of play.
Aspect ratio is messed up, but I dunno if there's way to fix it...

Hmm... Or the fact that my buddy's computer didn't like to get running properly back in the day But I'm pretty sure it was 1950 and we were like that should be a good card but the performance is still so low.
Among my friends he was the first to get x2 cores in his system. But I still kept up with him with my 3000+ and X800.
