ah okay, opps

Quote from deggis :

iOpener, I see.

There are already at least two threads about that already.

Really?... I couldn't see any

There is a new simulator coming out soon, claiming to have racing in Real-Time against the Real drivers, in the Real cars on Real tracks.

Have a look, it looks interesting...

Hopefully some time before I have grand kids...
Yes, that means no-one knows, this topic has been brought up so many times its not funny...

I wonder whether "Volkswagen Announcing their Partnership with iRacing.com" has anything to do with this release date expantion...

Quote from Velociround :

I played LFS for almost 3 years on a FX5200 128MB, and it never happened to me. Then, a 8600GT 256MB for almost 1 year, and it never happened. And now, on a 9800GT 512MB, this bug hasn't happened too.

these sound more like driver issues or overheating, make sure your graphics card's heat sink and fan have no dust on them... if they do, go outside with a brush and brush the dust out until it is clear again. I have a 9800 GT which was only 1 year old which slowed down all of a sudden, I took it out of the computer and looked at it, it has HEAPS of dust on it. I cleared out all the dust and stuck it back into the pc, my fps on lfs went from 50fps 200fps again
Also make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers for your graphics card.

Quote from Whiskey :

Thanks for your positive feedback , this helps motovate me to finnish this

Update:
I am currently trying to get the settings to send the username and nickname into the gadget.
This is a MASSIVE amount more of coding

Live For Speed Friends Gadget v0.8.1.0 Beta


The little arrow pointing up in the top left of the gadget is a refresh button, I know most of you wanted this. It will be released for the LFSWG gadget as well as this one. (The LFSFG)

1. Do you like the look of it?
2. Should I make a version which has both of the gadgets in one? As well as having seperate gadgets...?

Hope it looks good enough...

Okay, I will be making another individual gadget

I have started making this because it is such a great idea which would be so handy

Here is a picture of it so far (to scale)...
v1.8.0.0 Beta


1. What do you think?

2. I will have to make it more wide to fit the usernames in properly next to the User status, unless I put the username underneith/above the status...?

3. Should I make it in a seperate gadget?

4. How many users should there be? 5? 10?


Feedback would be appreciated...

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Would even more usefull if there could be LFS friends online, forums friends online and some more info, not only these basic, but I see that it would be much harder to do.

Well, it seems someone has done most of the work for me...
Great idea by the way

This link below recieves a image based on my online/offline status
http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.jamesisinthehouse12

It looks like this in image form:

I just need someone to tell me how to make it copy the <input> field and place it after the "http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline." in an image src...

This is alot of work though...

It has nothing in it... at least get Windows Vista Home Premium

Quote from puddin2k8 :

just looked at the cfg file it wont save when i change the values ?
ive clicked save as but it still wont do it

You probably have to open it in notepad with administrative stuff (right-click the cfg).

Here is my version already pre-configured and ready to go

Quote from Amplifier :

I still got this same problem, but it seems it works on some multiplayer servers, but not on all. For example it doesn't work on couple cruising servers.

yeah, I noticed that this program only seems to support around 10 players max...

It has obviously come to my attention that I need to make a guide of how to install this, step by step... I guess I will get around to doing it eventually, its just a matter of when I have the time.

yeah, sounds like a resolution problem... also... update your graphics card drivers as well, just incase

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

they guy that gave me that setup said it wont use more than 250W.
besides, its a brand PSU not some cheap one.

Sorry, but thats not strong enough...
I would recomend 450W at LEAST, I have a 9800 GT with a 550W PSU.
Anything under 450W is highly NOT recomended. (And yes, I know this because I worked at Arrow Computers and I am now working at Austin Computers - just so you don't queston me :nod

Quote from Velociround :

MP Replay - Out of stash space
Lost connection to the server

I've never received this message since I play LFS, so I think it might be a test patch issue.

PC Specs and quick stats

Pentium D 2.8GHz - 29% in use when received the error
2GB RAM DDR2 - 55% in use, 45% free

Replay attached. Screenshot attached.

Regarding the Windows 7 thing...
You shouldn't be installing Vista drivers... :rollseyes:
Windows 7 automatically gets updates from microsoft for your nvidia card, I have a 9800GT which works fine with Windows 7!

You should have got a WDDM v1.1 update through Windows Update for GeForce 8, 9, and 200-series DirectX 10 GPUs.
For others you would have got a WDDM v1.0 update for GeForce 6 and 7-series DirectX 9 GPUs.

It is in the Optional Updates section in Windows Updates. (I always install optional updates aswell as important ones)
I think you need to install the WDDM v1.0 first then the v1.1, but I'm not sure...

I would recommend checking for updates and installing the WDDM drivers for your card. (and please don't EVER install drivers from previous versions of windows, there will always be drivers for big companys sent through Windows Update automatically - especially graphics card drivers)

Take a look at your updates when you install them and even check your Installed Updates history before you get drivers from a previous versions of Windows for a new Version.

P.S. I am a Computer Technican working towards a Information Technology Administrator (I am only 16, yes... )
