@ Stage 6 my lfs movie, took me around 8 hours yesterday + today on adobe premiere pro 2/fraps/lfs and i'm well impressed with it.

Here are some 'adverts' for it, coming soon... (once uploaded the 970mb file to www.stage6.com!)

o rite cheers anyway guys thought it might help me on my quest to build kart tracks in lfs

ha! i said to my mate last week they should make something like that, external bits for laptops such as graphics or RAM and he said i was being ridiculus. can you say which companies are working on it so i can back up my argument (and hopes)

my first try, its more of a graphic than a logo, im working on another one using aero (vista-like) techniques.

i dont like this one but thought i'd chuck it out there just in case you do

i want to know if it is possible to change the normal car park / autocross 'skin' for the ground (the car park spaces) on the track to a different image. This would greatly help to design my kart tracks, as i could just screenshot the track from google earth and then use this as the ground on the autocross, and race on that.

When the banners around tracks in the /lfs/data/pic folder were made jpeg then i can make my own banners and use them, if the same happens with the floors/grounds then it should be possible

here is a screen shot that i've poorly made on paint !

wow, brilliant video. bit of a sketchy audio change though from the first track to the second, but brilliant editing

screenshots

got the uploader working now :S

heres the track. i love it, its great fun

Can anyone startup a karting server for my tracks please? my pc cant host (i dont think so ive tried) but i'd love to race on my kart tracks against others in MRT or something...

good times in real life or good times in game? at the martin brundle karting challenge last year i was doing (in prokarts) 3rd quickest at 1:13:ish and im not sure about the lfs version. Can anyone startup a karting server for my tracks please? my pc cant host (i dont think so ive tried) but i'd love to race on my kart tracks against others in MRT or something...

haha yeah i have s2 mate, im running it off my desktop, but im getting a laptop hopefully and would like lfs to run on it (decently!) i had a topic for this in the general topic section, but this thread was asking if any official specs existed. Im probably going to have around 2gb of ram and hopefully dual core with 1.8 - 2.2 ghz, im not that technical

btw this topic is named wrongly, i edited the whole thing, the first question was about hosting races! HENCE = " help - does my race work? "

Check this out, dont think the pitcrew would be to happy after this! Only one wheel on the ground, and it seems to have wiped out the laptop off the toolboxes in the middle too! :

Like on the back of a game you would buy in the shops it has a recomended spec to run the game? ta

hi made this the other night firstly as a drift track then i realised i cant drift to save my live so i transformed the ovalish shape into a tricky but enjoyable track.... enjoy it =)

fun on any car, lots of objects to hit so it may slow up your pc if its not very good at handling crshes with tyres (tires...?) feedback ? ta

thanks again to all who've helped, i'll continue to browse now with a little extra knowledge. The Very End + JackG feel free to discuss watever you were talking about now sure its interesting if i understood :P

Cool, thats quite a good looking package, was it direct from acer may i ask? I find Acer's site confusing... hehe

Quote from Jakg :

I've just had a quick look and the best deal on a laptop I can find is this - http://www.hotukdeals.com/item ... -1700-c2d-2ghz-3gb-ram-1/

Sorry for linking to a deal website but sometimes there are things you need to know about how to get a particular price.

.

thanks for the help but i dont think that that deal is on anymore after reading thru some threads the deal ended on the 30/01/08 but expires on the 6/02/08. That would have been a great deal, i'll keep looking for something like that kind of spec, or like you said i'll give up and just play lfs on my pc.. probably the best option unless i spend loads on it

Quote from Jakg :

What's your budget? I'll find you the best laptop within your budget...

Hi

at first i wanted a real cheap machine for around 400 but now that i want to run lfs it would prob. increase to about 500. is this still to little for a suitable laptop? thanks mate

on the old patch to get around the game lagging offline with AI i used to just start at the back, wati untill all the cars got around the first corner, then catch them all up and weave through the clumsy pack to the front =) My PC tended to settle down after the first corner with a full grid, not perfectly but very drivable. But of course with patch Y the AI's are very good so this is not possible...

ah ok thanks. Dedicated it must be.
again, does anyone know if there is an actual recomended spec for lfs like you get on the back of a game you buy in the shops? the standard spec and recomended are normally found at the bottom of the case on the back... know wat i mean?


Yes i love my desktop (stationary one(!)) and its running perfect (... touch wood....) but wen i get my laptop i really wouldnt mind playing lfs at a friends house for example us both racing online = great fun

lol

another thing = are these fps you've given online or offline playing? and if offline are they with AI ? sounds like a silly question you're all probably online all the time, but i know a few people with s2 that tend to prefer offline with AI, hotlapping or autocrossing and i prefer online.

because just playing around with a friends acer laptop the other day, offline runs fine unless there are AI's, and online is not good. processor size is not dual core and is around 1.6 i think + 2Gb RAM, its a new laptop (bog standard from pc world or something)

Thanks a lot for the fast replies

so im looking for
possible dual core - if i can afford it
dedicated graphics RAM - can i replace this with just loads of ram? like 4 GB or something if the laptop doesnt offer dedicated?
