You can set up AA in the nvidia control panel under pforiles so it only overrides when LFS.exe is started. Yes it'll take a greater hit on your graphics card, btu you should be able to run some AA and AF with that card. I'd experiement, you migth be surprised and find that you're cpu limited and frame rate doesn't change too much with AA enabled.

So which is the high setting? -4 or 0? Am I lead to believe that the 0 would be the higher quality setting? I think I saw Scawen wreite somewhere that on that screen all settings to the right would result in highest quality. But then I've also read that with mip bias the more negative you go the better it is.

Some of the fastest guys in oz use a joystick. Bugle and Chaz, look em up Although I don't think they're human.

I understand what you're sayin Kar but you can't compare books to this. You don't see road signs written in tiny writing. It all has to be in proportion to be visible. I have the ingame chat text foint size at minimum for this very reason.

I think that the names are too small currently and don't show up far away enough. If they get in the way its easy to turn them off and then back on again with a few taps of a key.

Most 22" use the same panel made by CMV optronics or something. If you see the Viewsonic, CMV (Chimei), Proview and Asus brands they all use the same panel as the Dell and cost a little less. I have a Chimei brand monitor and it really is fantastic. I picked it up for 300E, it can be had for about 230E these days. I highly recommend getting one of these monitors with this particluar panel. Even though it's only 6 bit the colours are very clear and you can't run it at full brightness because it's just so bright. So the backlight should last a good few years.

For anything that has to run in 4:3 or 5:4 mode, graphics cards these days can add black bars to the sides and run in that res and it's fine.

Dunno why but this only works for stcc servers. Doesn't work on any other server I try. The window that keeps poppping for skin downloading gets annoying after a while too.

If you can strech the budget a fraction I'd recommend the 7900GS. Not sure how much it is in E but shouldn't be much more than 100. Otherwise the 7600GT is a solid performer.

Use the machines local IP address to connect from the same network.

After going widescreen I don't know how I managed to stay away for so long. It's great for everything, and the 1680x1050 res means text isn't too small to read either. All programs work fine including LFS in native res.

Graphics card isn't very important for lfs anyway.

and the mandatory... http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=85

I'm posting this from a "computer". Guys this new technology is simply amazing.

How does it work that you connect through lfsworld and lfsjoin?
What's the host called so we can try connect?
Have you forwared all ports correctly?

My 3rd skin in the adidas collection, this time an FO8. Hope you like and enjoy it.

Two options and both wrong, what a poll. People have to earn respect, you don't just get it by breaking a WR or being devoted to lfs.

To get tv director working all you need to do is set the port in tv director e.g 29999. Then open lfs and type /insim 29999. You should get a welcome message that tv director has connected. If you get nothing something is wrong, but you should atleast get some kind of error.

I'm not sure. It wasn't a shift+u related error, just a very random one. I can count on one hand the amount of times lfs has crashed for me so it's something I thought I'd report in this specific thread for it.

Quote from kyler :

yes and i got the rims fixed i added the ones crashgate put on here so they are fixed here is a better one. but witch part on the hood the reflection? davo its ur tutorial i used....

Ah k, I've never remade the XRT scene but like crashgfate said it;'s probably the smoothing groups. I've pretty much used the pre made scenes which Ian fixed up with smoothing groups etc. Have yopu got a skyligth box above the car? It should reflect off the window. Why do you want a sky texture indoors? It makes it look cheesy and unrealistic imo.

Anyway, goto the Render menu and under Environment add a picture there.

This is the V6 thread isn't it? Sorry just thought it was pretty obvious.

lots and lots of help...

Didn't experience hangs with previous version.

I was in a server at the game screen and everyone was readying up to start qualifying. When everyone was ready and the track should've been displayed lfs just hung at the screen it uses just before loading the start of a race. I couldn't alt-tab out or end task however windows was still running because I got little glimspes as it flashed around in the background when I tried to alt-tab and ctr-alt-del. Couldn't get anywhere so had to hard reset.

You've got something wierd happening on the hood too, windows are see through. cmX Importer?

This is the LFS technical assistance forum

I'd try the skinners forums for this question. Maybe a mod will move it.

What file type are you trying to open?

hmm good point. Someone must've been offended lol

Yes that's all good but it's the OP is saying it's a pain to drive a car with 720 of lock then swap to a SS and have 400 lock and have to change the settings in the profiler. It'd be good if lfs itself imposed a force feedback 'lock' at the appropriate amount of turn.

This doesn't bother me because I only use 270 for everything.
