Hi,

I am looking for a Computer dealership thats hopfully in the US (Oversea's shipping is harsh) and isn't gonna be expensive.

Im looking for a good PC to play LFS on and im not sure how much it would cost.

Could someone give me like a quote on some prices for some so i can know what to expect?

Thanks,

Grunt.

Well since everyone is sharing their computer specs might as well post mine.
Compaq 7500 18 In' screen.
AMD Athlon XP 3200+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz
512MB RAM
NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 128.0 MB

Total cost:$000.00 (AKA F R E E) lol.

Got this as a "Hand-me-down" from father...Once i get more cash im upgrading though, LFS runs horribly on it (averages 30 FPS)

Quote from Jakg :its for V only - like it says in the first post...

K then I never saw that.

Also probably never saw the rule in his post either:
"People who put "lol" at the end of their posts ,serious or just a trait, is not eledgible for Safety Car driver reguardless of their experience"

Hey I have a Movie Making question.

How do you reverse video? Not like a mirror effect but reverse it so the end of the clip is the beginning and vise versa?

I need it for some video effects but I can't spend any money on any programs that have it so im narrowed down to free programs....or cracked ones which isn't legal and isn't my style.

Quote from djgizmo68 :Id rather a more, mature person, who doesnt stick "lol" after every post he makes, drive the safety car.

Well guess what? Thats my signature word.

If your not gonna let me drive it for just having "lol" after each post then you arn't that good of a man now are you?

Quote from agromans :Yes but Cash is Cash and I think e-gold payment is not so BAD .... And it will make more S2 Licensed users Please Devlopers make this payment in future

Cash might be Cash but a Low ammount will not get you an expensive game.

When you get $48 USD let me know. Also just adding E-Gold wont make more S2 Licensed users. It might give some people an extra option that not many people would use.

Only way to get more S2 people is to advertise!

1600 Starlet Cup


There was once a great car, the old toyota starlet. with its hatchback design, nippy engine and its Rear Driven drivetrain, it became a great legend among alot of people.


The starlet came with a 1500cc SOHC Carbed engine, but it was common to swap a 1600cc DOHC Fuel Injected engine.


And i wanted to re-create this league in LFS, of course, theres no starlet in LFS, but the XFG is close enough, but the XFG comes with a 1300cc Engine...


Well, heres the First Tweaked league.


The league will use a tweaked XFG File, using a 1600cc engine, producing just over 210hp, with a RWD Drivetrain, gripping the road with 13" slicks.


The car, i have to say, is brutal. The car isnt overly tweaked to insane power, its quite "subtle" for what it is, and very nippy with the slicks, but, it isnt a car to be messed with, it needs skill to drive it.


Rules will be the same as most leagues, regarding contact, Pace cars, safety laps etc.


The league will be run over a year, with 24 race meets, 1 meet every 2 weeks, each meet consisting of 2 heat races, 1 full distance race, and the first being 1/2 the distance of the feature race. each race has a 30 minute qualifying session (The first race using the qualiying position, and the second race using the 1 race finishing positions in finishing order)


Thisleague has potential, and a server is being sorted out to have this tweaked XFG running on it, available for public practice.


C&C Is appreciated


Oh oh! Can I be your safety car?!?!?

Please??? lol.

Quote from LFSn00b :opening the XRT lights.

That is excactly what I want also dude!

I don't care what people say I love those style of lights and keeping em closed is a shame.

U need an option in pits for them like how the UF1 and the roadsters have open or closed celings.

[sarcasim]Yeah and while we're at it lets add some spoilers that go up about 5 feet in the air! And also lets add EXTREME TUBING TO LIVE FOR SPEED!!! Imagine drifting around a rock in water...oh noes we went too close! Pop! you die.

Sounds like a WONDERFULL mod![/sarcasim]

On a serious note it would make it more like Forza Motorsport if ya know what I mean.

Quote from TiJay :Hehe, thanks. I just saw the schedule and realised that. They're showing pre and post race on Speed as well as the truck series.

However, I also have FOX on TVUPlayer so I'll watch the Nextel Cup race on that. At whatever 1:30pm US time is in the UK.

That would be about 19:30 GMT,

Also one thing you gotta know is:The prerace show goes on for usally 30 mins to 2 hours depending on the race, then the actuall thing starts.

Quote from JTbo :Lol, look, when I look from here, you wake up late because time difference, it is 5pm now you see, so even if you would wake up 7am it would be quite late wakeup in this time zone, lighten up a bit, everything is not meant to be taken dead serious

This is why I hate timezones.

And it doesn't help that %90 of the people who play LFS are in the UK/Germany.

PATCH W CHANGES DEFAULT LOD TO 0.8 WHICH IS PROBABLY HIGHER VALUE THAN YOUR PREVIOUS SETTING

Im sorry I can't understand that did you say Patch W changes default LOD to 0.8 which is probably higher than my previous values?

Nahhh who would say that?
