Nice child pictures but you didn't answer my question. But I already know the answer so never mind, you are not allowed to do that from your institute. Forget about that, sorry Wink

I don't know about the current Win10 upgrade rules. They said that if you pretend to have a handicap (like activate the visual assistance, magnifying glass, high contrast option) that you are still allowed to update but if this trick still applies I don't know.

//edit .. seems that you do not need to do any trick. Just use this tool; https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

(according to http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/ ... written May this year)

Actually I can recommend it LFS development team also. It can lead to new insights.

This is a cheap office notebook, not meant for gaming. And if I take a look at the German reviews then it even fails at office work. I am sorry to say but by the looks of it, its a fail product from Lenovo, should not waste all this money on it.

This laptop has no GPU. It has a CPU with basic integrated GPU functions (Intel® HD Graphics 4000). Theoretically the CPU can be faulty but I doubt that, Intel CPU's are of very good quality, have thermal protection and some other protections to prevent getting destroyed.


But to not let you end in misery I strongly suggest to follow Abone's advice and upgrade to Win10. Win8 has too many performance instabilities (mainly due to sloppy drivers). Some Win8 users are lucky, some not.

Maybe it fixes some of your issues, possibly even everything.

That made me wonder what "device lost" actually is about..

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb174714%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

So, it has something to do with fullscreen/windowed mode and/or alt-tab if I understand it correctly. (Or, " Devices can also be lost due to a power management event, ")

If you search the internet you will find out that more people have the same problem with this program "Bitdefender".

There are enough 3rd party programs which do the job perfectly. It would generate too many screaming kids, it's bad.

I'd rather go for the 60 thing at this point. But to get back on this topic;
Quote from SimulatorRental.com :is when I restart everything it takes me 30 or more minutes to setup all the wheels and audio to the right devices.

Why not at least mention on which USB port a device is found? It would be really silly if these ID's also change during a restart.

Example: G920 on USB1, G920 on USB2 etc.. How is this arranged in this system? A normal system doesnt have many USB ports to begin with, how many USB ports do you use anyway? 4 ports for wheels and 4 ports for audio? I have read in another topic of yours that you have force feedback problems on the wheels, how are you sure that your USB controllers are properly setup?

Yes, with a lot of flowers. Or kaleidoscopes.. Last year I did a weekend with Ayahuasca with the team leader of Genuine racing.. It was amazing. But.. In the end, it didn't make much of a difference. Still need to try the mushrooms though.

Quote from Breizh :I really doubt you could walk up to Scavier at work and

What is it with this walking up thing of yours? They can do whatever they want to do or not do. I am only saying to the people here, that based on a ten year history and a drastically changed lifestyle not much is going to happen in the upcoming ten years. If.. And that is what happens a lot these days, people compare it to other sim titles (-the best example-); Assetto Corsa. It has a massive amount of tracks and a massive amount of cars but this was only possible after some very serious shift in thinking of the main developer of the more then dead racing sim Netkar.

Now, team Scavier can do whatever they want to do but if at one day these tyre physics get released then I can bet that it would take another 15 years (minimum) before some user generated sharing system would be released. It's just keeping this false hope, aaaaaaaaaallll those years, that something serious is going to happen [which is bugging me a little].. It is just not going to happen, not possible in this team setup.


Quote from Breizh :You may disagree with them but you do not get to disrespect them.

Disagree with who? Disrespect? You are making too many things up. It has nothing to do with respect blabla, I am talking about expectations of people here... And the seamingly endless thoughts like, "something serious is going to happen soon".. No.. It's not. Wake up. LFS is a nice niece old little racing sim but it will stay like that for at least another ten years. Why? Because of the alternative workflow. I am not criticizing that, I am just telling what the consequences are.

And lets be honest, if AC would have the same netcode and InSim system like LFS then everybody already would have forgotten about LFS. I foresee that somebody creates something like that earlier then that LFS has a user generated sharing system. So you can link and quote various developer talk but in the end it is not happening in a reasonable time span. Lets quote the breakable wings for example, how many years ago is this?

All these talks about development plans, its fine.. But as reader (fanboy/fangirl) you need to put it in a time perspective and have to conclude it are mostly dreams.

Quote from Breizh :
here it is:

You see it happen? If yes, I wonder how.

Quote from Breizh :That is so the best icebreaker ever, should one meet Scavier in person.

Nah, nothing to do with team Scavier, more the persons discussing this.. I can not understand how people can talk for decades.. Not even years.. Decades.. About something which is not going to happen. Yes maybe at some point this dreaded tyre physics gets released in some sort of simplified form and yes there will be some track updates of fantasy tracks.. But.. That.. Will be about it. LFS is a hobby project, some hours are spend on it on a weekly basis.. Sometimes.. Sometimes some month(s) nothing happens at all.... It is no serious development cycle, so how in the world people can discuss week by week, year by year... Stuff like; "oh yes and this and this is going to happen", "and then this car and track"... Come on, can people get realistic for once in their life?!

Here is a 181 pages long thread (running for 12 years);

Cars we wanna see in S3 , about car requests. Together with the 'tracks we want to see' thread, the most useless threads of these forums Wink

No need to start repeating it.

Quote from LakynVonLegendaus : T300RS does actually seem to be "stronger".

Actually the TX is a little bit stronger; http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/thrustmaster-tx-base-vs-t300-base.121072/

But either buy cannot be bad. I guess.

1997 right?

20 years old wheel... That is some production quality! Tongue

But.. A bit dated though. See it as an opportunity to upgrade \o/

Quote from KiDCoDEa :6 years ago, before your anachronic enthusiasm flooded the forum... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoi-1g0IzI

Ah yes... Perfect example of the snooker table what I was talking about before, relating to the road surface of LFS.

And this video is from six years ago. See how much more intense Iracing is. LFS is far too easy, thats why racers are gone.

That Scirocco was never important. Tyre physics applies to all.

Right, hhmm.. Well, it is possible to map positions on the client side. With usernames/tags its even possible to filter only on "cops". If somebody is really into this cruising thing I guess he/she can program something like that, but its quite some work.

And, although it is possible in real life to do this... It's called tetra scanner / tetra scanning .. In real practice it doesn't work that good.

Third, if an admin finds out that you are using some technology what basically can be called cheating, you can risk a ban.

Police mobile communication is all digital nowadays and encrypted, at least in my country and the UK. So, it's not really real life anymore.

Set aside that, it is possible to program a client side insim program to send a LFS location but I do not understand the point of it. The server already knows where everybody is.

Ye. I like to add that every community has this. Although this community is extra special because so big mix of cultures, continents(!), languages and interests. Also because drift, cruise and race are not the same type of peoples.

I now want to watch a Star Trek movie.

And who put in your mind that advertisement actually works?

This website (and forum) got beefed up after I made some critical comments since the last kart UK meet. Not much more can be done. Other then joining Steam, but if you've read that topic then you know whats needed for that.

By the why.. Advertisement can actually backfire. Did you thought of that? If the major public starts to bad mouth your product then you die.

The best advertisement is patches. More specific; timed updates. People on the internet work like a clock, if they know something is coming, they return. But only when the schedule is known. Not this vague release of work every now and then. (Mostly then).

It stays bad until the time comes that it is possible to introduce a custom hitbox model.

Not any modification "works well".

When the newest generation is not interested anymore it's a sign that death is on it's way. You can laugh now but quote me next year.

Facebook is not interesting and is not a serious advertising platform.
