Am I going to get in shit for using it?...

Blackwood Reversed, XRT Turbo. Got the skin off this site then changed it to blue and black. This was my first time playing with the shift+u function to change views and I took some cool screen shots (IMO)

All shots taken at 1280x1024 no AA or AF, using FRAPS, and shrunk to 800x640 using Lexmark Photo Editor, no photoshopping done to them.

The XRT has a 12psi turbocharger (12psi = 12 pound per square inch A.K.A 12 pounds of boost in slang terms)
~Bryan~

Um...the game comes with ricer cars (2 liter inline 4 with 12 pounds of boost) So, whenever I drive them, I'm a ricer?
~Bryan~

Yea that would be a good improvement, because when I'm driving the XRT it doesn't feel like a turbo pushing rice machine, it needs a cleaner presure drop and a noticable sound for the BOV, also back presure causing backfires would be cool.
~Bryan~

Noooooo. I'm looking at the shots he posted.

Not pwned. Dells are setup from the factory with software (All the software packages you order) and they set them up totally wrong, screw with port mapping, make un-nessesary registry changes, create pointless startup keys. And I'm saying, Dell's are bad PC's from the factory only because everything is messed up and un-organized in terms of file management. Therefore a fresh format after getting a Dell is a good idea, then you can correct installation paths, startup lists, and hardware settings.

Also, magnetizing the MOBO isn't meant literally, it's an expression meaning clear the BIOS and reset the jumpers (Gets rid of glitched FSB settings, fan RPM settings, PCI & AGP speeds, and RAM timing.)

One last point, how does me being 14 have any affect on my opinion? So going by that rule does that make everybody over 30 right? That's a little close-minded don't you think?
~Bryan~

P.S If you READ my original post stating to reformat a Dell, I wasn't saying thats a way to fix his LFS Frame-rate problem, I meant that as a general tip when getting a Dell. for actually improving frame-rate. Look in the config files of both LFS versions to check to see if any settings are unusual which may kill game performance. Don't forget to check for unwanted processes running (crt+alt+dlt and click task manager) Maybe take a look in the performance tab and see if LFS is actually strugling as much as it says it is (Look for page file usage, and CPU usage)

It's not Mcaffee thats terrible. It's the fact that you have a retail model Dell. Reformat it, magnetize your MOBO (Not recomended) and THEN your good for an XP Install, and software management before you have a half-assed PC.
~Bryan~

Who me? Well, I don't play a cracked version of LFS, but I'm ripping apart the cracks I found on the net to see how they work, then I can show the developers so they can kill the loophole.
~Bryan~

Haha I don't fiend it, I just like the fact I have a 3kb .txt file that blows up computers.
~Bryan~

Lol well I've got XP Home on an Intel Celeron 2.2ghz, 224MB of ram, and a shitty 32MB intergrated video card. My frames are about 40-50 alone, 30 with a full grid, and about 35 when recording in FRAPS. God I love my Celeron. (This is 1280x1024, everything maxed, 2xAA, 4xAF)

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

Because, dropin_biking, virus' are suppost to be hidden and slow you down gradually untill it does something that you really dont want. People protect their PC's because they have important things. Do you even know if you have a trojan in your computer?

Well, being a computer technician, web designer, and software developer, I know my way around computers. I've been cleaning out infected computers for almost a year now, and I've been through my registry so many times its not even funny, and no, I don't have any Trojans, or spy-ware, or virus' (not including the ones I make)
~Bryan~

Lmao it's worth it. But seriously, $60~ for a copy of S2 is a little....drastic. I mean, its a good game and all but $60 is quite a bit (but still worth it)
~Bryan~

No...because anybody who thinks NFS is a sim isn't a real man, therefore, cannot get their knob chopped off because it doesn't exsist...
~Bryan~

YEEEEE. I might break the 15fps mark, haha. No thanks, I'll stick with 40fps on my shitty XP Home.
~Bryan~

You guys are WAYYYYYY too constricted to what you hear. Let me explain...
I've had XP Home for 3 years, with NO anti-virus, NO anti-spyware, and NO firewall. And my PC has not gaven up, or slowwed down, or got full of viruses. I don't get why people having unprotected PC's is such a big deal.
~Bryan~

Lol well I was bored. So I put LFS on my old PC...
-Intel Pentium @ 333mhz
-64MB 66mhz RAM
-No sound card illepall
-Shitty 8MB Video card (110mhz core, 115mhz clock)
-13" VGA Moniter

And...
the game ran...
640x480 16, everything turned off, simple tracks, lowest special effects, mirrors off. Bumber cam ran an average of 10fps running a lap around Blackwood.
That just goes to show that the phrase "My comp is too crappy to run LFS" isn't true.
~Bryan~

Can't you see my flag? I'm Canadian, eh! I even have my syrup cooled PC case.
~Bryan~

I'm only 14. Two more years untill G1. But I race karts (not shitty go-karts from fairs) They have 250cc liquid cooled engines, and will hit a good 160kph. So my dad says I'll make a good racer, but he's not too sure about the normal driving part. :P

But theres literally nobody my age who understands the concepts of racing and driving, I just gave up trying to get them to understand.
~Bryan~

Well...um...I guess that errr settles it. There goes this thread...
~Bryan~

I know this won't be for a LONG time. But, what do YOU think the cost of an S3 license will be, and what would you be willing to pay for an S3 license? Opinions...
~Bryan~

Believe me I know...I, have a confession...____________________________________...it was almost the best week of my life. Now I'm bugging the crap out of my parents to let me buy it. I have the money and everything, they just frown upon internet shopping.I just really want S2 so I can jump free from the n00b/wrecker/immature twats/restarters of the demo servers, it pisses me off soo much...

Lol, I don't mean to sound arragant or harsh toward people, but the fact is, they are wrong, and think they are right. Doesn't it just bug the hell out of you when somebody hates something because its not the norm? or because they don't know how to use it properly?
~Bryan~

Hey thanks man. But I was talking to the n00b who couldn't race and he said (and I quote) 'Man, this game is so shitty, you hit one wall and your car is ****ed, how gay is that? And like this car only hits 220 on the straight, a REAL game lets you go so much faster, and in a real sim like Most Wanted you can actually drift, the idiots who made this shit need to get some tips for NFS!"

I honestly, wanted, to, kill, him.
~Bryan~

Hey guys I have some great news. At my highschool I'm starting to get alot of people involved with LFS. My computer tech teacher even let me set up a LAN game of LFS for the class...Needless to say I heard alot of stuff like "Man this would kick ass with a wheel" "This creams GTR any day" and my favourite "Mannn this game is gayy it wont let me take a corner at 120 (XRT)"illepall

So far I have two big fans that have Patch V at home, and I will be purchasing a licence as soon as my parents let me buy something over the internet. I thought I would just share that with you guys.
