Very impressive! 5 minutes to go, if you're not doing anything in particular I recommend you have a look.

Such a vast amount of action in this one I had to watch it twice - And I've still got the feeling that I've missed some stuff! Sure the camera work was a bit choppy at times, and there were some weird flashes that I didn't really approve of but all in all a nice video most definitely worth the download.

Quote from G13Haze :

when i try to recompress the video with vdub to 60fps the sound still is slow?
no matter wat codec i use.. is that a recording error or do i need to configure something in Vdub?

I think Jens nailed it (though I can't really tell since I haven't been following the discussion). If not, have a look at this post regarding frame and sound rates I wrote some time ago.

Quote from MaKaKaZo :

Maybe a streaming version?

VLC:
File > Open (paste URL) > OK.

It'll work no matter if you "repair" the file or not.

It WAS fun. And I just found this, a (rather crappy) helmet-cam video showing a few laps around the track. Brings back great memories doesn't it?

I highly doubt the server will come online again. We'll let you know if it does.

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!

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).

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?
