So far no probs with the test patches here, just getting used to the new LOD settings. There was one thing that threw me for a couple of days though. Is the Mip bias being reset to default 2.0 with these test patches? I noticed my GFX got very "shimery", until I put the Mip Bias to 0.0. I cant remeber what I use to have it set at before the Test patch with the LOD changes.

thanks, and looking forward to T6

hey LFSkidmarks is pretty cool. Is it homage to the old Amiga game of the same name?

oh and

Step 5: Beg Becky to finish the multiplayer version and fire up the master server.

beg, beg, beg

With EA, nothing would surprise me. Either way, its a whole lot of advertising for SC

Quote from danowat :

Here we go again, another one of "these" posts.........

Why oh why do I have to spend most of my time racing the LX4 on my own, or with only a few drivers?.

This car is one of the most fun, satisfying and rewarding cars to drive in LFS for me ATM, it combines sublime handling with a fair bit of power, and it is so exciting to drive, I just can't understand it's (and the LRF class) lack of use online, well, I probably can, maybe the LX4 and LRF class take people out of their comfort zones.

But it isn't a hard car to drive, and when you get it sussed experiances like holding it just a touch sideways on the throttle around the double apex corner on Fern Bay Gold reverse is one of the highlights of LFS to me.

I just wish more people would race it online

agreed, I enjoyed racing with you yesterday round SO thats a kick ass combo, but why did I have to wait this long to find out. Sorry for the bump on the last lap btw

Thumbs up also to DMR for their odd combos. always so much fun and a friendly group of guys to boot

Scawen worked on RagDoll Kungfu in 2005 for Valve? I played the demo of this on Steam. Pretty fun game.

Quote from tristancliffe :

The Amiga sucked in comparison to the Atari ST

lol "Them's fightin' words"

the google fight isnt really fair though. As Amiga means some thing other than a computer brand.

Did Atari finish with the ST, as far as home computers go? they never had a competitor to the mighty A1200.

First I had an A600, which was kind of an abomination I guess. Then I got an A1200. I had a 3.5 inch HD crammed into my A1200 case. Bulged a bit and reset if you pressed to hard on the casing above the keys. But boy an amiga with a HD was sooo much better. Alas i never got afford an Amiga 4000, before Bill Gates had his wicked way with me

Nice demos, I never got to see most of those when I had my Amigas.

Sorry to OT a bit, but I was wondering. Do any of you X Amiga heads know how you can convert a .mod/.med etc tracker file to a .mid file?

Quote from Dj-Aeri :

I remember that the S1 has been updated more times and more often.

hmm i reckon the earlier a game is in its development the more changes there would be...

it really hasnt been long since the last patch. besides the community always has some thing new to offer to stave off the boredom. Have you tried Dave's new sounds yet?

Great photos. I remember seeing those six wheeled cars before. What was the idea behind these cars?
Where both rear sets of wheels powered? what kind of crazy heavy differential would have been used there? Did the extra weight on these cars not immediately outweigh any performance increase for the extra wheels.

Bear in mind I'm no engineer

does sound interesting, wonder if it might be recorded and made avail to download some how.

oh well, tell us how it goes

far from being embarrased, i reckon scawen is well proud of his old work, and protective of it too, with good reason. could be looked at as the core engines and physics we know today that make S2.

Quote from trackah123 :

Woah, Never saw that before. Nice find. Is that early banked oval in the background ?

Great pics.

I think the cars look good, but the paint schemes are very unimaginative. The German one for example just looks very 80's to me.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Scawen, Victor and Eric

Lol great pic, thts the best use of tht photo yet

I cant really say, most i have driven gtrs on is WE,ASN,BL. would like to try full races on some other tracks other than those

to be fair its not 'RC' (imagine crashing it.. )

wow, thats freekin' sweet

What tv show is tht? Appears, to be some Clarkson i have not yet seen.

XRT for me, never fails to impress me, especially with a good skin.

Noticed the 1991 series of TopGear is now on Google video. Its nothing like current TopGear you understand, but still good. Its amazing how dated looking the cars are, I remeber when all this stuff looked so modern

Plus there's also the bonus of checking out out Clarkson's incredible afro lol

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

tbh i race fairly, but last year or so , more and more i see the "new" generation (not just in LFS) having 0 respect, so if im passing and they decide to tighten their line (9/10 this is the case) I WILL widen mine.

So i guess my vote lies with "eat wall" , I`m sick to death of political correctness.

I know what you mean. What I hate most is the fact that a lot of these blue flag incidents are on your last lap of a flipping 5 lap race. You were driving along having fun with other clean drivers battling out for maybe 3rd 4th or 5th (in my case usually ) and some one joins the race who is getting in the way, saying they have a right to be passed cleanly. Why cant they just wait until the race is over and join the next one? In stead of ruining everyone else’s race. I don’t care how fast or slow they are.


Its almost like they put themselves in that situation just so they can say "blah blah, im entitled to battle for my position..." highly irritating.

Nice idea

Id buy the first black T-shirt if it had a coloured logo, with no back print. I think small discreet logos are the best.

wow they look sweet Bo, really love the SO buildings. Ill be trying this tonight
cheers

Quote from Rtsbasic :

So all you fellas voting for LX4/6, why do I never see any LX/FE combo public servers populated? :P LX4 is my 2nd fav, its a blast to drive, but sadly its hard to find many serious races with it.

my thoughts exactly

Oh Sweet, I really need a fix of Clarkson & Co

BTW: anyone know If Clarkson has done anything DVD/TV wise since the latest Top Gear series?

"Heaven & Hell" was the last thing he did I am aware of.

I have thought about this before. LFS network code is pretty good. Maybe these are side efects of having a solid network code. Doesnt mean of course that it should stay like this forever. But If thats the reason for it or part of the reason for it, I can put up with it for the time being.
