Funny how people that have contributed the least want the most!

It's already too late my man. As soon as you enter in 4th decade of your life, obligations quickly escalate and time for playing games diminishes

Just wait until you are almost into your SEVENTH decade, and you find that you have LOTS of time for playing!
Since I retired I am finally enjoying all the games I got cheap (Epic and Amazon giveaways!) and about 6 or 7 hours a DAY to play them!

I beg to differ! I was playing LFS on a PC back in 2003, so it WILL run on a 20yr old PC!!

Hello fellow old-timer!

The Scirocco has been postponed

Gives you an idea of how long I've been waiting!!

Quote from Ian.H :

Although I ultimately took down the dSRC forums (mainly for security purposes really as I wasn't keeping Xenforo updated).. https://ds-autos.digiserv.net/ is still up and about since early 2005 IIRC.

That said, I rebuilt it recently just for shits n giggles, so now dockerised, built and deployed via a CI/CD pipeline... though I kept the original design despite using modern tech stack (was harder to do that than it would have been to redesign in a modern design!)

And the Neuropol font on Don's site was "legendary" back in the day!


Cheers..

Ian

Big shout to Ian!! How ya doing bossman?!!

2 months?? Thems are rookie numbers pal!!
I'm still waiting for the Scirocco!

I'm using an 17-3770 with a GTX1060 6Gb, with 24GB memory, and getting a respectable score on SteamVR Test Results. See attached.

I an also using a 700W OCZ psu, which probably makes the difference, as without multiple decent powered UXB3 ports, I think I'd be struggling.

If its too expensive to get new psu, maybe a mains powered USB3 multiport might help?

Must agree with the POWAH argument.. running a B550 mobo and Ryzen 5800X, pushing a 3090 RTX, but STILL have all my peripherals running through powered USB hubs. Makes a world of difference!
All this is powered by a Corsair 850 gold PSU.

(PS-> It plays Crysis beautifully! )

Bums! Now I'm going to have to try on my Snapdragon 888 device!

I REALLY wish that this post was on a social media page {twitter/facebook/etc) so that I could go to town on the poor soul who posted the original thread.
There are no end of memes that could be posted to reply to the gentleman!
(A favourite: "This is not an airport, no need to announce your depature!")

The problem I see with this is that in REAL LIFE racing, if you happen to total your car, then unfortunately, there is NO reset button!
Simple answer...DON'T CRASH!!

omg, sure your monthly bill for your phone is more expensive than S3 for xx years !!!


seriously, this is a little independant workshop, you like the Sim > buy it directly to devs and help the sim

100% agree.... give the pennies to ScaViEr and sod the likes of GoG etc!!

Try using your hands on the wheel instead of your legs!

How can we possibly have Golf? We are still waiting for the Scirocco!!

Quote from Scawen :

Y
Our business was being killed by piracy (there was no longer enough income to live on) so we had to either get another job or take a different approach - add new functionality or content and not release any server code at all.

It makes me vomit that pirates should target an INEXPENSIVE "Indy" title that is run on a shoestring budget.
I can almost understand them going after the "Big Boys" that churn out the same stuff year after year and charge extortionate prices for a "new" version...which is in fact usually just a minor update!)

Leave the independents alone, they are the people that are bringing true innovation to the gaming industry!

Lost count! More than 15 though!

I thought that it was VERY close to my old Suzuki Swift 1.6 GTi..I even had my in-game XFG done up in the same colours as my IRL car!

Hello guys..It's been a VERY long time since I posted..almost as long since I last played..
(Yes, there is a "BUT")

BUT!!! I downloaded the update, installed it just fine; dusted off my trusty wheel and pedals...and then plugged in my HTC Vive!!
First time I ever tried LFS in VR; and I was totally blown away! I always knew that it was a good sim, but until you try a race in VR, then you haven't REALLY experienced it!
I know ScaViEr have always admitted that they are making sure that the VR experience is fulfilling; I just never realised HOW fulfilling!

Well done yet again guys! <3

Oh BUMS! I got to work tonight...otherwise I would LOVE to join in with all the oldies racing!
Have fun guys, and congrats to Looney for hitting double figures!

As I said..I could argue that it IS an LFS topic....because it's music to listen to while driving! (or chilling!)



(PS don't tell DAJMIN that I posted it! )

Just one question... WHY?????

Can anybody please tell me...I need to know if ANY of these VR solutions can be used by somebody who HAS to wear glasses...I am not even going to spend £15 on something like google cardboard if it isn't going to work for me!

...starts looking for a duster and a can of WD40 to get my G25 working again....

WD40 is not a lubricant if that's what you intend to use it for.

http://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/1wa9a6/ysk_wd40_is_a_solvent_not_a_lubricant_mistaking/

I know...but its GREAT for getting rid of built up grime and cigarette ash!

Quote :

WD-40 is a great substance, for a lot of stuff. If anything is stuck, rusty, dirty, sticky, hardened, etc... WD-40 is probably the answer.

Quote from mr_x :

All the dSRC old boys are coming out of the woodwork!

I've still got all my skins on LFSW.

I *STILL* race in my old dSRC No 7 Skin!! (Too bloody lazy to do another one probably! )

EDIT... I'm off this weekend...so message me on facebok if you feel up to it!

Another old name checking in... Still lurk here far too much!

Edit - I must get around to changing my avatar at some point.

Might be an idea to get IanH to dust off the server/forum...lets get the old skins out and show the dSRC flag!

(and I think somebody else's avatar needs changing too!)
