Quote from [RCG]Boosted :yea.
i bet in 10 years we can see "dead" ppl in brandnew movies as the the software can make look EVERYTHING so real that u cant say whats real and what not.

they could do that in 1994. Brandon Lee died during the making of The Crow. The producers shot the rest of the movie using a body double and stitched his head/face onto the other actors body.

Quote from Rappa Z :well, i heard thesw guys got in line three days before the xbox360 came out, they were the first to get it. When they got it they went infront of all the little kids 3 hours back into the line. The guys then hit it with a sludge hammar, and the guys started laughing because the kids cried and tried to glue it back together

seems like a retarded way to spend 3 days and a few hundred dollars, if it actually happened.

well, profiler is detecting the DFP, because right now i'm using a Driving Force EX, and it displays a different controller than what you screen shot is showing. so that is working (at least partially).

what version of LFS are you using? if it is one of the U test patches that has scripting, did you set that up for an old controller? if you did, maybe try deleting (or moving it out of the folder) that old controller script file.

maybe you just need to calibrate each axis in LFS and then assign them. to calibrate, press the C next to each axis, then depress the pedals or turn the wheel, depending on which axis you are calibrating. then click on the funtion you want to assign, then click on the axis you want associated with that function...

ie, click "throttle", then "axis 0".

if you've done that, i'm fresh out of ideas...or set up a controller script if you are using a version that supports that.

the DFP is almost 3x the cost of the one that he's getting. That's quite a big difference.

But the wheel/pedals will make it much easier to drive...after you get used to it. there's a bit of getting used to, because in your mind, you think it should be just like driving a car in real life, when its actually a bit difference because you don't have all the sensations you have in a real car.

but after you get over that, its a bunch of fun. then after a year or so, you may find yourself splurging on a $300USD wheel/pedal set to get the game feeling that much more realistic

but enjoy your new controller. it will definatley change your experience for the better.

also, i used the training tasks to help me get aquainted with the wheel and controlling the car using it. it was a big help for me.

Quote from uss77 :P.s UG2 Supra fully pimped stock tyres best drift

i found my celica that i bought first thing in the game, that had all the upgrades and unique parts was the best drift car. was also faster and better handling than all the other cars in the game too, but i think was because of the unique parts.

all this talk of NFSU2 is making me want to play it again :eclipsee_

plugged everything in? usb into computer, power into wall?

does it show up in the game controllers (start -> run -> joy.cpl)

techincally, you don't have to install anything for the DFP to work (at least i didn't...the profiler just give more options for setting it up).

if the DFP isn't showing in the game controllers screen, then something isn't right. unplug it, and try plugging it into a different USB port.

in both NFSU and NFSU2 the physics used in the drifting events was different from the physics used in the rest of the game.

I might pick this game up in a few months when it hits the bargain bin and costs $20. I've played every NFS up to this point, so, might as as well keep on...i just won't be paying full price for it

lets see if i remember all this... XYY, X-, XXY, XX, XY, and hermaphrodite?

hermaphrodites are the only ones where a decision has to be made as to which sex will be chosen, and in the past it was often chosen by the predominate physical characteristic, which didn't always match up with the predominate hormonal balance, which is where the basis for their gender identity disorders stemmed from.

i believe today, blood work is done before making the decision in efforts to minimize the likely hood of the individual developing a GID.

One of my female co-workers is really into cars. And my last girlfriend was really into video games, and my fiance is kind of into video games...she really enjoyed Doom3.

That said, girls who are into Cars and video games are a rare bunch. its sad, and i think is primarily the fault of socialization.

i'm a bit late to the party, but my dad is a sim-racing dad. i got him hooked on LFS almost a year ago, but he was a demo racer until a few months back when i bought him is s2 license.

he's pretty quick, and has no problems keeping up (or even leading) some of our races (2-8 racers). and that was with a horrid frame rate...best: 30fps, avg: 20fps, traffic: 8fps. I don't know how he did it. i just upgraded his video card last night and tripled his average frame rate. he's probably going to stomp all over me on the track now

Quote from St4Lk3R :glyphon: but you know that it is a double colon, dontcha? some people dont even know it

yeah, i figured out what it was. had to search it out, but figured it out. funny thing was, the error actually had nothing to do with double colons...i was tired and left out and semi-colon, and then left out the "$" on a variable, and i guess php got confused

Quote from St4Lk3R :I recently created a script that receives a racers personal stats from lfsw and creates a status-image for forum-signatures. I think this will explain pretty good how to do a connection to lfsw and it also does a bit of caching.

You may want to look at it here:

looks like an early version of my script
(functionally that is. your code is very different from mine :nod

~130 to 150 by myself, and around 80-90 in full grid. 1440x900 with 6xAA and 8xAF.

as for overclocking a laptop, i'd highly recommend against it. The most important factor in overclocking is controlling the temperatures. and most laptops just aren't setup to with adequate cooling. most likely what will happen is you'll make the system unstable, and worst case senario is you'll kill the thing completely.

have you tried. not guaranteed to work, just what i would try next.

<?php 
function OpenFile ($path) {
 if (
file_exists ($path)) {
  if (
$file fopen ($path"rb")) return ($file);
  return 
FALSE;
 } else {
    exit (
'file not found');
 return 
FALSE;
}
?>

Quote from arco :Great script glyphon, I really like it!
One question, is it possible to have the racernames shown with their original colors?

maybe, but because of the way that the text is written onto the graphic, the solution isn't readily apparenty to me. I could easily figure out how to make the text the color if there is only one color used, or the first color in multiple color names, but switching colors...that's a bit more tricky (and when i say a bit, i mean a lot). but i'll look into it.

Quote from matuka :Please helpme !!
No showme nothing..
Only showme:
he page cannot be found
I make the LFS_Checker folder en the root web site and i typing http://mihost/check#.matuka.jpg but.. nothing...

are you typing check#.matuka.jpg, or are you putting a number in the place of the #?

maybe this is a cultural thing (and if it is, i'm sorry), but the # is a place holder, kind of like a variable, that means a number should go there. for example, a valid address would be check1.matuka.jpg.

does that make sense? if you are still having problems, let me know and i'll try and help you fix them.

and thanks
