Interested!

Nice to see your take on it Vic, good going! I wonder if anyone else has any other ideas you'd be able to realize? (Come on lads, if you can think of anything - let him have it!).

LFS UK Karting Meet 2009

I did a quick check to see just how tricky/expensive it'd be for me to make that trip. Turns out it all seems rather feasible. I know we're months and months away from actually deciding anything, but the sooner the major details are decided the better.

Looking forward to it!

Quote from Becky Rose :

For me it was [...]

Exactly the same as me except T6 where I very seldom dared to go flat out because that'd push me too far to the left. I mostly lifted off a bit.

On the other hand I went flat out through the T9 sequence, not lifting off nor braking until the T10 braking point.

Quote from AlienT. :

Are you sure that's Thomas? I reckon it's Nick Heidfeld....the beard gives it away. Nick/Thomas you should be in bloody Valencia man!

Heidfeld, eh? Why thank you, I suppose we both fancy our beards.

Regarding the difference in karts: Something obviously must've been going on. I've heard reports on drivers going flat out through corners where it would've been impossible for me to do the same. It really is a shame, it would've been so much more fun winning if I knew we were all in equal karts.

Other than that I had a splendid time. Thanks to Ben and everyone else for taking such good care of me. 'Twas very nice meeting all of you!

What's wrong with speculating? I don't know anything you don't know you know.

Edit: As you probably know LFSers are pro speculators.

Another edit: But you're right. Original post removed.

Yet another edit: Rascar13, Oh give me a break!

Quote from http://www.lfs.net/?page=agreement :

§2.5 Credit card and PayPal payments can only be refunded whole, within 30 days after purchase and as long as no copy of S1 or S2 has been unlocked with the purchased license. Payments other than credit card or PayPal cannot be refunded.

No dice! You might as well give up.

Yes, the desktop is working but in-game features (such as the /w commands) doesn't seem to work. Additionally, the "licensed racers"-graph over at LFS World looks worryingly low (<200 racers).

Quote from Becky Rose :

Speaking of which, I've actually had a few of those (in Sweden) and to be honest - they're not extraordinary. Then again that's just me. I'm usually going for the most bang for the buck.

Nice going guys. Keep it up!

It doesn't matter to me whether the event takes place on the 23rd or the 24th. Worst case scenario would be that Ben would have to accommodate me for an additional 24 hours - which should be interesting.

Quote from mrodgers :

Join Conedodgers in the first listed server or join CTRA in the 2nd listed server. All other servers below that will be drift or demo servers with the exception of [FM]Oval, but who wants that server anyways....

(Just kidding, [FM]. Only said that as a joke because of the unnecessary bashing you guys take here on the forum.)

Uncool! What about the rest of the dedicated racing fans who you also slapped in the face with that statement? You're obviously not looking close enough - I have no problems finding populated league- and pickup racing servers.

Sorry to bump my own thread but this is very important:

the old skinpack (lfs_ai_skin-pack.zip) for patch X is no longer compatible with LFS and should not be used with patch Y.

Grab the version for patch Y instead (lfs_ai_skin-pack_s2y.zip). See the first post of this thread for download links.

The reason I am making this post is because I just went through my logs and noticed that this month the outdated version has more downloads than the new one.

Site admins, please update your links.

Dougie, at first my post included a HUGE image. A minute or two after submitting my post I went back to edit it to replace the image with a thumbnail. You quoted me before I had time to edit my post, however, so your quote still included the huge image. But since the image in question was located on my web server I was able to "edit" your quote by simply removing the image from the server. If I put the image back on the server, your post would no longer be just two lines.

I really REALLY like LFS.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I would probably have gone with a Samsung Disk if they had any in stock, but they didn't so I went with a Seagate 7200.11. Cross your fingers!

Hello,

Spring semester at uni is over and this week I will have to return the laptop computer I've been borrowing. A couple of months ago my main PC started failing so I do not trust it the least (haven't really looked into what's wrong yet but I suspect it is the hard drive).

I'm in need of a new hard drive so I can transfer all the data currently residing on the lappy. Thereafter I am planning to install the new hard disk drive in my file server. For that reason I'm looking for a cool, quiet drive with an considerable amount of capacity but more important: I'm looking for reliability rather than performance.

A couple of years ago I'd go purchase another Seagate drive (there's currently 8 Seagate drives in my file server) but since Seagate was bought up, or merged with Maxtor (whatever), which is the manufacturer I trust the least I'm not sure which drive to get.

StorageReview recommends Seagate Barracuda ES.2 for a light-duty server, but I don't know ...

What do you reckon?

Quote from Ramon F. :

Artifacts ...

I also noticed a tiny amount of artifacts on Y22 yesterday. I've never ever experienced artifacts in LFS before on any PC (with one exception - but that time the graphics card was dying). Since I was using a laptop yesterday (IBM Thinkpad T60) which is not really intended for gaming I did not bother reporting it here until i saw the other reports just now.

OS: Windows XP SP2
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon XP1300
Driver: 8.293.1.0 (Yes, they're ancient but bear in mind I do not usually run games on this computer).

So how much profit did you make lol

billions.

Edit: dougie-lampkin, you might want to edit your post to save the forum visitors some scrolling.

Edit 2: Never mind, I removed the image from my web server instead.

Dear community!

This week our team officially celebrates its 2nd anniversary. That's right, the LFS racing team Fred Loves Pie (FLP/r) has now been around for more than two years.

Cheezy Biography featuring a sneaky list of accomplishments* and driver presentations.
The team was formed by me and filur (who are both Swedes, 26 and 24 years old respectively) shortly after Richard Torp's 2nd season of DRC ended in the spring of 2006 (in which filur finished 3rd by the way). Later that year we recruited Jens O, a 18 year-old student from Germany. In the world of LFS Jens is currently managing the team in the oneGP - F1 World Series. I'm not sure how keen he is on actually driving one of those things given the fact that he is actually using a mouse! On the other hand, he's definitely one of the fastest and cleanest "mousers" around, just check out one or two (or more) of his pure racing videos!

Later the same year we strengthened the team by merging with the all-danish team known as Momentum. When our teams merged we replaced the "/r" (as in racing) in our team tag with "/m" (as in Momentum). Together we took part in single events such as the Grand opening of the team Hart of Racing, leagues such as The Danish Championship and perhaps more importantly the 2006 season of The Original LF ... "Drivers' Decathlon. By finishing 3rd in the team championship of said league we realized that we actually were (and still are) rather skilled racers.

After OLFSL we signed up for LXCC - The LX Clubsport Challenge organized by axus and some of the other dear old blokes of vMaxSR. The series ended in the first quarter of 2007 and thanks to filur's outstanding performances in the LX4 we were able to grab the 3rd place.

Shortly after the LXCC series had ended our danish friends from Momentum left FLP, having new projects on the horizon. No tears were shed, however, because shortly after having dropped the "/m" in our team tag and re-fitting it with the good old "/r" we spotted a new potential member of the team. Jouman, who is a 25 year old Finnish bloke had just purchased S2 when we met him online. Luckily for us he accepted our invitation to join the team, because today he is incredibly competitive! Just yesterday he brought home another trophy by winning the 7th season of Torsdagsrace.

In the end of 2006 we launched our own project called What's Cookin'. Filur wrote an insim-application which randomly selected a car or car class, a track enviroment and set the race conditions. We used the application to randomly select a combo 45 (iirc) minutes before the race start. It was great fun for several weeks but the project was put on hold as we wanted to focus on the upcoming attractions. Read on:

Filur, Jens, Jouman and I were participating in the 2007 season of OLFSL, all very determined to do even better than the year before. The team was doing rather well, but in June we were all put in place by some guy called ergin. What else could we do than ask him join the team? Said and done, ergin (who is a turkish 21-year-old living in Germany) joined the gang. Thanks to our new recruit we were able to finish first in the team championship of OLFSL.

We spent the rest of 2007 participating in various organized events and endurance races such as DPRT's Midnight Race and a 3 hour GTR race called "Klappjakten". Of course we won both!

This year we've taken part in several seasons of Torsdagsrace, battling it out with Swedish teams such as NRG, SCR, SOR, SRS and TPC (it really is an awesome league). But more importantly a new driver joined the team! In February Patrick Bateman officially raced under the green and white FLP colors for the very first time. Patrick, who is 17 a year-old student from The Netherlands is currently representing the team in the aforementioned oneGP series.

There you have it! A nice couple of paragraphs of shameless self-promotion and name-dropping for you all to ponder and reminisce upon. Of course there are loads of stuff I couldn't be bothered to mention, but on behalf of FLP I'd like to thank all the league organizers, clean racers, programmers, artists, forum moderators and other driving forces of the LFS community. This place would be rather dull without you.

Onward and upward!

* For a complete list of accomplishments and projects, see the first post of this thread.

Pardon me, but is there a way to increase font size? Currently it is very small and since I prefer to sit back, my eyes get tired rather quickly.

Options -> Display -> Message text size ?

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Lots of pierates in there.

There - Took the liberty of correcting your spelling!

Nicely done! Altough the FPS seems to be low at times (XRR@FE clip, ~00:54). I like that you covered all of the S2 vehicles. Great footage, too.

Too bad there's no engine sounds though. The music reminds me of Battlefield 1942.

Quote from batteryy :

i have played since Live For Speed S2 v0.5T [...] i joint the forums 7th December 2007. I joint these forums so late pecause i dl'lled lfs from peliplaneetta and i didnt know any about these forums.

Actually, the join date displays what date you registered at lfs.net (which is necessary when purchasing a license), NOT when you first activated your forum account. If the latter was the case there wouldn't be any join dates prior to 2005.
