I'm just happy if they show up at all. Gotta love the monopoly since Verizon FiOS or Google Fiber isn't available yet. :ouch:

Quote from wheel4hummer :What's the ellipsis for?

Comcast did some wiring to my house a few days ago, and now TV / phone / internet don't work. Right now I have none, unless I tether from my phone (Sprint, 1 bar :cry at:



They're coming tomorrow to fix it thankfully...

"This sucks so f*cking much".

Referring to my internet speeds right now when tethering to my phone since Comcast is down in my area...

The desk from Argos doen't look too bad, but avoid the desk you posted from Tesco like the plague. It looks like it would wobble with the least amount of effort. Unless you're going to be bolting the desk to the wall, you'd be better off spending a little more for a wooden desk, even if it's for a month.

Hrm, maybe something went wrong when patching. Here's a manual patch, place it in your LFS directory and see if that fixes it.

If you can't steer with your wheel, make sure it's plugged into to the wall (a stupid mistake I did once). As for your mouse, do you see the steering gauge move with the mouse at the bottom when in 'options' > 'controls'?

My guess would be it writing something in the registry, and when you move it, it panics and give you the error. Glad you got it working anyway.

I've always kept it on C:\LFS, I shouldn't think it would make a difference, but I'll let Victor chime in on that. This is where I got my info from: http://social.bioware.com/foru ... for-writing-135513-1.html

If you can't get it working eventually, post in Victor's 'LFS installer' thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=81175

I believe that has to do when the installer cannot make a folder to place the contents of LFS files into. Are you installing it to the default C:/LFS directory?

Quote from AndRand :looking for help - I noticed a pic on 9gag probably, searched it and couldnt find.
It was a poster of a conference on Chinese economy with 4 gears blocking each other.
Anyone have link?

You work fast Scawen.


I'm on B14. It just told me a lost connection to my server, which is weird since I'm on LAN and the server is a foot away from me. Shouldn't the number next to my name have increased?

I think it's focusing on the player with the most laps when you join the server, and that player is currently off the track.

This was back when I had several racing games and I guess I was looking for the latest and greatest. I looked around and found many US titles being compared (which I all had), and then a reviewer mentioned Live for Speed. I quickly tried it and fell in love with it. I can't remember which one I started off playing (S2U maybe?) but I loved the physics and it blew all my other games out of the water. I slowly stopped playing the other games and focused all my attention to LFS.

Still lovin' it.

All these layout editing suggestions are getting me excited! I think the concrete slabs would make an excellent addition to the ramp collection. I know some of the jumps I make in autocross are a pain to adjust because some of the slower cars cannot make it unless they get enough speed, I think having a 'bridge' made would solve that problem.

Scawen, if you added the ability to avoid the ground level check, that would make my year! I really think the layout editor is shaping up to be an awesome tool, and I'm really excited for the new patch!

Flame, I really like the idea of the on/off collision check. There have been so many times that I've been adding layout pieces (especially on offroad / hills) that I've been told it's too close. +1

Eclipsed, back in 2006 I suggested the same thing (albeit, those post years were badly formatted, *shutter*). It went over fairly well, and as long as there is some form of 'pitlane', I think it's a good suggestion. +1

Sinanju, while I do like your idea about two-piece barrier sizes, It's hard to decide one universal method for all layout pieces, but I think it would be better if there was 1 adjustable size instead. This applies for both red/white and Armco barriers. (even banners, if possible). There would be a slider that when slid back and forth, would lengthen or shorten barrier, Armco, and banners. As for kerbs, I think that's more of a future thing. If we want to implement more objects (sans Scawen's concrete slab) we'd have everybody bickering on what should and should not be added. I think optimization of the current objects (length, height) should be a higher priority.

edge3147, this particular patch is not about perfecting a racing simulator, it's about adding to an already great simulator with more user-suggested content. You're not forced to use it or go to a server that uses it. Just like racers aren't forced to go to a cruise server (they even have an option to hide that type of server). Some of this update is targeted to layout makers, if you're not interested in making a layout, it won't affect you. We are all waiting for S3, and as TVE said, it "keeps the waiting time less painful".

You wanted Scawen to look at the AU4 grass texture, let's talk about that for a second. If he started that project, he'd have to presumably re-code the non-tarmac for AU4. But why stop at AU4, what about all the other tracks that have uneven or 'fall-though' grass outside of the playing area. That's telling Scawen to do something that which maybe you and a few other people may use. The layout editor affects many more players and it's universal, meaning he only has to code it once, and it'll work for all tracks.

Sorry if this may sound stupid, but does Europe even have Black Friday?

I do believe that for Cyber Monday it would be a treat to have it 25% off.
