Quote from xXCRASH3RXx :

wtf, you so over exaggerating, and you hate demo racers because you think there noobs who dont know anything right? and how the hell does the topic of oil changing relate to taking a piss or other things at all??

Im just trying to suggest serious things.The demo stuff is all in your mind...i never said anything about it.

Very nice one Kiste,you surely know what you are doing

Quote from vicbel :

mmhh

Downloaded ... installed ...

ran ... I entered the insim port in the setup screen BUT when I try to save it dies. The program is closed by windows and that;s it ...

any thoughts?

Same happens to me...
Other than that it works.

Don't forget the "eat some carbohidrates" and "drink some energetic beverage" button.
You don't want your character to be starving in the middle of a race.
Also why not introduce driver's death?If you hit a white and read barrier and jump into the air you die and your license is tear apart.Then,if you want to play again,you have to purchase another one with a different name.
Maybe a "Donate 3000£ to -any tyre company-" button would be really appreciated.

Maybe you have no life?

Then whose fault is it?
All we gotta blame the sun,that's it.

Nice picture Mikko,who is she?
Guys,i have a question for you.
There was a nice sunset today and i wanted to take some rust off my 20D and take a couple of shots.
But,as i turned it on the batteries were flat and i couldn't do anything.
I know that batteries lose charge in time even if they're not being used but it seems strange to me.The batteries were full the last time i checked them,i was really disappointed to see this happening.
Batteries are a genuine Canon(altough it must be pretty worn out) and a Phottix one.Is that normal?

Quote from Bob Smith :

That's because, unlike the modern butchered Top Gear, Fifth Gear was still a car review programme, rather than a car-based entainment programme.

Quote from Shadowww :

Yeah but he has 512MB graphics card, and mine LFS uses only ~100MB of VideoRAM with all those fancy textures.

Is that hard to do a fresh install?
None of the people which have tried Z20 out experienced such problems so i GUESS it must be his system going nuts.
THE END.

Quote from morpha :

Can't give you any names nor links to actual photos, but whenever I see something like that, it's usually red-ish and b/w, rarely ever anything else, perhaps blue. Very cold or very warm, definitely the extremes.
Your shot is good, but somewhat lifeless. I think the partial desaturation, as IlGuercio so eloquently put it, only works for romantic/erotic or cold/sinister subjects, not so much for action shots like yours.

I'll let my imagination go bonkers for a moment:

• A dog, black background, blood dripping from its mouth, only the blood in colour, perhaps oversaturated, everything else b/w.
  
• Strawberries on a curvaceous girl, probably just the torso, only the strawberries in colour.
  
• Portrait of someone with blue eyes, neutral or hostile expression, only the eyes in colour.
  

Makes me wanna have a go myself

I agree with you nut i would go for partial desaturation just in case the subject is ALREADY clear.
I've seen so many pictures that deserved to be deleted yet its owner doesn't want to and tries to save it somehow by applying strange effect or absurd crops.If a picture is confused,if you wanted to highlight some of the colours but you couldn't,well,delete it.
I haven't been taking pics for a good 4 months now and the reason is i don't see anything good around me.
If i went shooting now i would just come back home with few pics and all going to be cancelled.
This isn't,of course,the case.The subject is clear apart from the desaturation and the action is good.If it was me i would have processed it differently,but that's another story.

I don't know any photographer which makes use of this tecnique but...
I can't really appreciate partial desaturations,they make me think the picture was bad or the subject wasn't clear so the one who shot it decided not to throw it into the bin but to make it look like it's cool without an apparent reason.
If i look at your picture i feel the urge to say:"Why?",what is the purpose of having a grey(not much black nor white there) background and a yellow jumper?I can't really understand it,the action is good but the environment is distracting in the upper area.
For me this tecnique is almost completely useless.

Quote from th84 :

I must say... I just heard one of her songs and can honestly see why that guy clocked her. That music was awful!

Can someone send that guy a message and let him know where Lady Gaga will be giving autographs?

Quote from Khann :

The way Scawen has said in the test patches 'Does not contain VW/Scirocco/Rockingham' makes me feel like Rockingham will be released with the patch.

Wishful thinking, I suppose.

How can it contain Rockingham if it's S3 content?

Quote from Ripley :

Now we have testpatch Z20 out.

In order to have a 2 screen setup, there's one thing I don't get...Do the two monitors have to be equal ? Same resolution, same physical dimensions ?

I have two very different monitors, 22" wide 1680*1050 & 8" touch 800*600, and one single Radeon.
Apart from the obvious disadvantages (dimension-wise) would it be possible to set a 2-screen LFS for me (just to try) ?

Edit: ok, reading through the thread (as usual) I found the answer about resolutions not having to be the same.
But when I add my second screen on the left, LFS tells me "not wide enough for true 2-screen setup".

Did you manage to get it working?

If you said "I shot this pic at 12800 iso" back in the film era people would have just laughed at you
Spank,i don't really like them,perhaps you are right when you say you were uninspired

Quote from senn :

Can't reproduce this, sorry. Maybe you need to install the latest soundcard/video/monitor drivers and try again

They are,i guess it's just my system acting stupid.

EDIT:my video driver must be stupid somehow

Quote from MrPDR :

This a feedback thread.

No,it's a test patch thread,the title says it all.
You can report things going wrong about the test patches and nothing more.
Your thoughts,if constructive,should be posted elsewhere.

Keep the damn whining away from this topic.

Quote from TiJay :

On the subject of natural selection, seen today on a firework safety leaflet:

"Do not put sparklers in pockets."
"Never throw fireworks."

Do people really have to be told this? If they're stupid enough to do these things, you could probably take these warnings off and let the problem solve itself And the world would be safer as these people wouldn't rear-end you on the freeway/accidentally burn your apartment building down in the future...

People are stupid by nature.
You have to tell them to wear a helmet while riding a motorbike because they can't bother to think about it.Most of the time there isn't a second chance.Not to talk about the "iknowhowtodriveandidontneedtheseatbelts,theyareforgays" group.
It's not really a problem if they kill themselves because of stupid behaviours.

I hate you

Quote from deiwisxxx :

Don't want to waste time

Doesn't take much to make a copy of your LFS and patch it.
Besides,no one can tell if you'll experience fps drops,i upgrades and didn't notice any change,others did.

Quote from obsolum :

Never ever count on people being smart. That's a sign of stupidity

Also, what has this baby done wrong? It's not like he could help it, is it? Insensitive pricks.

Every parent wants to shout to the world his right to have a child but very few can actually take care of them.
There are a pretty much infinite amount of deaths caused by stupid parents or behaviours.In this case the baby isn't clearly the stupid one.A mother should never let a pram go by itself,damn,did she know she was so close to the rails and the train was coming?I can't really believe how reckless some people are.
I have seen a similar cases in my life.

Quote from morpha :

Because people are supposed to be smart enough to keep themselves out of harm's way. Natural selection, as senn pointed out, usually takes care of those who are not. This baby and its mother are the lucky exception.

A few months ago ,in Italy, a girl died because she was crossing the rails(which were provided with level crossing)while the train was passing by.
She had both her headphones at a so high volume that she couldn't hear the train.
The same day the father was complaining because,according to him,the level crossing was not safe and bla bla bla.
Now,whose fault was it?If you are stupid enough to risk your life in a such ridicolous way you can't blame anyone but you.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Really lucky, The architect who designed a train platform that is angled downwards towards the rails should be given 40 lashes!

And the mother who let the pram slide towards the rails should be in jail.
When a bad thing occurs the parents are never guilty,whatever the case is.
Let each person take their responsibility,a mother should never do that.
