As someone said, the new Logitech G25 wheel is the one you want a clutch and shifter. (Manual shifter)

If you need to knwo stuff about it ask Tweak as he is testing one, i'm sure he woudn't midn telling you a little about it.

For some reason they dont have the G25 listed on the Canadian Logitech Site or at least not yet.Weird.......

Thanks for the info.

LOL wow.....hmmmm ok I dunno if im going to buy it off this guy then.....

I just want a Good quality racing wheel with a Good shifter & Clutch. Willing to pay somewhere around $200+

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

errmmm... I recommend not getting OCZ. Yes they have a nice warrenty, but also a high failure rate, with only one PSU worth getting, when you look at its cost, you're better off just not going that direction.. and Antec are cheap trash next to PCP&C.

Also, though popular, stay away from modular. They die faster the fixed wire.

OCZ is one of the best power supply companies. I have yet to see Any failures with their powersupplys. I have one and have installed them in my clients computers no problems yet.

Quote from faster111 :

am not going ram it and am going show the one who upgraded it this topic where a user posted about he had the same thing happen and the shop said it was broken.

WHAT?!?!?

Speak ENGERISH??? illepall

Quote from faster111 :

its not a 2nd hand car its brand new lol

Ok so then what are you waiting for?? RMA it

Quote from BrandonAGr :

Thanks, I will be buying a replacement PSU after work today, so will have to test out all the parts then. Hopefully not long and I will be able to play LFS again!

make sure you dont buy a Cheap powersupply as thats probably the reason why it died in the first place.

From what I have seen from computers I have fixed/made for clients etc One of the best companies for Powersupplys is OCZ 5 year warrenty which is Great!

I would also consider Antec/PC Power & Cooling if you have the $$ etc

If you dont want to format, reinstall windows then Pay a Tech that will for you. if you dont want to do that then all you can do is RMA the card. Contact the company that made your video card and tell them you are having a problem withthe card. Tell them it happens in "Most" games you play.

Dont tell them your the 2nd owner of the card or anything like that. See what they say. They may allow you to RMA it without a problem depending on the company.

And if you dont want to do that, then Contact me and i'll build you a new computer

Ciao

Ok I have not seen your other post but this is what i suggest if you have not already done it.

- Reinstall LFS
- get older Drivers as the news ones could have problems
- Windows updates (directx updates etc etc)
- Try another video card.

- Reinstall Windows, If you still have problems after this step then its probably the video card.)

Ciao

Very Nice, but some problems,

- AA needs to be on
- Music.....not for a racing game
- I noticed it lagged when showing replay's
- and....What were you thinking with the music??illepall



I give it a 8/10 fix the above problems and it would be a 10/10

Ciao

Wow never knew these even existed. I thought only the dam plastic crap was avail from companies.

Very nice,

Thanks for the links guys

Hello all,

Just wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions on good High Quality Racing wheels. I rather not have some platic thing thats going to break on me, but im not sure if they even make them out of any other material.

Basically im willing to spend some good money on a racing wheel if its good High quality one thats not going to break. I used to have one for my Sony Playstation but after going around a big turn it just broke

So ya if you know any good high quality ones that come with the wheel,
Pedals & gear shift.

Thank You

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

On Saturday I personally got to witness how much less GPU juice LFS needs compared to other modern games.

My old trusty FX5200 was adequate for LFS, I could play for days without a problem. Come Saturday I decided to try WoW. Managed to play for a few hours non-stop and BANG! music looped for a second, PC crashed completely, and the monitor went blank. WTF?! I looked at the beige box quizzically and then I smelled the scent of a burnt component. There went the VGA, didn't last very long in Real Gaming

So I decided to get a brand spanking new system, planned the component purchase on Sunday, ordered on Monday and got the parts on Tuesday morning. Back in business in the evening after tussling with too short power cables and SATA/PATA combinations for several hours.

But now it works Good going, only cost me almost exactly £500 including VAT and P&P

And now I get to play LFS with 160 FPS instead of 80, lol

Quote from Highsider9 :

lol very nice

here are some I took yesterday Night

1 Word,

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The new BMW F1 Car is CRAZY!!! Sooo Fast Yet really really good Handling. Unlike the other f1 car we had where it was really hard to handle.

Very Good Job on this car!! I also found when driving other regular cars little more grip. I like it

Quote from BlueSkunk :

thanks everybody for all the advice.

i already keep the whole thing elevated for better cooling (won't follow the wet cooling advice, though, even though there is plenty of water in my area) and will try to carefully clean with the airgun.

the thing is, that over the last 6-12 months the computer shuts down earlier and earlier and where i live there is no such thing as qualified help

make sure you problem is not Software related. If you were to reinstall windows that would make sure it was not a software problem if it id not stop from shutting down. Also its just generally good to reinstall windows once a year or so just to get all the crap out of your system.

Also if you have warrenty still on the labtop take it in.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I'd save your £150 and wait until you can do a more PC-wide upgrade. The bits you've got there are quite well matched so you might as well be thinking about upgrading to an A64 machine with PCIE in the future rather than improving that box.

I agree with him ^^^

I would Save your money and upgrade your CPU to an AMD64 CPU you wil get a much better performance boost then upgrading what u got now. Of course it will cost more since u will need a New Cpu/Motherboard/Video card (if u go PCI-E)/ & maybe ram. But its Worth it!

Ciao

If your going to upgrade I would even be looking at say a,

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Dual Core Socket 939 512K L2 Cache

Dual Core cpu, its the future and you would be more Future proof then the single core 3200+ Of course this depends on your budget but if you can afford it for sure go for the dual core you will be VERY happy with it.

Quote from Rtsbasic :

I've just ripped out my pretty retro Radeon 9600 and replaced it with a shiny slightly less retro Geforce 6600GT (oh how I love using an NV again). I have LFS setup and tweaked for my Radeon, are the best settings to use for my Nvidia the same as what its set to for my Radeon? With regards to vertex shading, that sort of thing. I noticed the "haze" affect affects frame rate, and yet going up to 4xAA/8xAF didn't touch it, guess something else in my system is the weak link now. Average framerate has just about doubled, love it

Cheers.

No the settings would not be the same. The reason for this is because usually when somebody upgrades their video card they get a better one, Which will make a decent change in FPS. So because of this you will be able to use higher setting like AA/AF and so on to make the game look better yet keep your fps in a decent range.

So basically you can turn up your graphics as much as you want as long as you feel you are getting good enough FPS and no lag and so on cause by higher settings.

Just wondering if this ever came up which I'm sure it probably has one time or another. I was wondering if the devs ever said anything about adding different weather to the game? For example Light Rain & Heavy rain and so on. Also what would be very cool is if it was raining you could turn on & off your windshield wipers.

Thats just a cool feature I have see in some other racing game (rally game) and it looked really cool and added that extra affect to make it seem more real.

Anyways just wondering if anybody knew if it could be implemented in a future patch or whatever to come.

Thanks

Ciao

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Feeling rushed during development projects always leads to bugs/poor design. So if we want a good bug free release we should all just chill and give the developers time to do their jobs to the best of their ability - which we have already seen is very impressive.

Exactly, Just look at EA's Racing Games

I just hope it comes out at the end of April or very begining of May. That way I will be done school and I can play more

Ciao
