Some are gun-ho yes. Why do they always send the poor?

You have a viscious pet dog. It bites an innocent person, do you blame the dog or the owner for not getting it trained and disciplined?


And... yes i know it's a camera, but at that distance in the 'heat' of the moment it could be mistaken as a rocket launcher. I watched the full version first before the short version, and I thought it was a gang of guys with weapons. When you have the luxury of hindsight and freeze-frame, then it's easy to see it's not the case.

Quote from bladegt :
one problem as the SofTH developers said is if you want to raise FPS (and if you know what you are doing....) is to overclock the PCI EXPRESS Bus...
but i dont want to try something like this...

This won't help autocross. You need more CPU power for AutoX drop in frame rate problems. Drive around in no autocross is fine if I understand what you said. Autocross (Layouts) requires maths calcs for their 3D object positions/rotations. It's all done on the CPU for that in LFS. Believe me, I had a 840d CPU and had bad autoX FPS (everything else was ok 250+ FPS outside of AutoX/Layouts), I upgraded to e8400 CPU and the autocross low FPS was solved. Not a PCI express/Graphics problem.

What did you say you CPU was mate?

And about the monitors when i want to play for many hours i do that..i pull them in the front :P

Why so much misinformation?

There's two dudes with ak's and/or rifles in the background!? Without spending hours reading everything about this, it appears there's no mention of this?

Rewind you'll see em.


If I was in a chopper and saw this I'd probably crap my self to.


You blame the ones who sent them there, not the ones doing it to put food on the table.


btw: what's the significance of the attached fish in the above post?

You overlayed the monitors bevels to get a smaller blind spot/bars between monitors. I don't see many people do this obvious thing. Nice to see.

Setup looks really nice - can see out the right passenger window >_>
If I was you, and I am a bit "mad" so ignore me if you want - I would be bringing that tripple screen right up to the front edge of the desk and piss off the the keyboard to the side and remove the ingame wheel. Be immersed, not a passenger ^_^ Currently you look like a back seat driver. :doh:



Layouts kill your FPS because it's a CPU hog. LFS doesn't seem to clip layout objects properly in the far distance and some particular layouts can be bad news. Even when I got a decent graphics card the FPS still dropped in layouts/autocross until I got a better CPU.
Was fine in racing 250 FPS+ just the layouts - omgz fail.


Some things to try in LFS that might help a lot that you didn't mention....
Options >> MISC
- Multiplayer speedup option YES (reduces detail levels when many cars are on screeen)
- Dynamic LOD reduction set to 1.0 (level reduction factor; higher = more reduced detail levels = more FPS)
- Mulitplayer Car draw 80m (clips cars drawn in the distance, lower number means less cars onscreen = more FPS)

Options >> Graphics
- Try lowering LOD numbers (try extreme low and see the difference)
- Trees OFF (definately, only removes some big trees and moving trees iirc)
- Don't use any +Mirror options because you waste some FPS there.
- Full Scene Anti-Aliasing (not at 8x) use AA 8x or even OFF can increase FPS dramatically. (You might have to change this in your GPU device settings in Windows, or make it Application Controlled
- Textures LOW
- Car and helmet skins COMPRESSED


Options >> VIEW
- Don't use the Multiscreen options 1,1,1 just use 0,1,0 and just use a big FOV
Multiple screen support is great when you can afford to run it, but you are increasing the number of view ports and that can destroy your FPS.

Make sure you change one thing at a time so you know the exact FPS you're gaining/losing. No point reducing everything if only a couple things make a difference.

Well I hope something here helps.


You're doing a huge resolution now (25% more than me @1080p), you need supercomputer to do such tasks. Personally 8800 GTS isn't enough for higher details and res, but hey - what do I know? IDK don't take my word for it, I'm not an expert at multiscreen config. I'm only running one 40" screen at 1920x1080. I got a GTX295 just to run that res because even my 9600GT or HD4890 was not enough for me to run LFS at maxxed out, and I mean with SUPERSAMPLING so it actually looks good.
But maybe the 8800 GTS is enough for racing in LFS at lowest res/details for you, but autoX layouts is death to CPU. What you got CPU wise?

This guy reminds my of -
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

Obviously a troll who's paid for S2. Stop wating devs time and grow up. It will not come faster the more you moan and you haven't paid for it (no-one has) so are not entitled to moan.

Yes finally - 3 months later (13 week wait and numerous reminder calls charged at national dialing rates) I have my replacement card mailed back to me.

Extremely slow return for a faulty item straight out of the box. Replacement card I received works fine and I have not made any changes to my system. Thanks to all that tried to help.

Needless to say I will never buy from this retailer (shop) again.

toggle? you mean turn off and on?
As stated above - You cannot make AI 'take over your car'


Red Circle - Add AI cars to grid
Yellow Circle - Remove AI cars from grid
White Circle - Change AI skill level



Also you can add AI cars in race mode with the command /ai
Remove them while in race mode with /spec [AI_Name]

If you have a bad ping to a server, then yes you can do that, but it depends on the timing and circumstances, you might get punched instead.

If you start wrecking people because you have a bad ping, then you will most likely get kicked or banned. If you have to 'punch' other players to win then you a cheating really and shouldn't be a bad sport.

I race sometimes on UK servers and have a ping of over 300mS. I have to pretty much keep out of everyones way to avoid getting banned.

The answer to that is, try only play on servers where the ping is below 100ms. The main lobby list shows the ping.
If you are doing this then watch out for certain cars that are warping (jumping about) around the track. They might be in a different country or have a bad internet conenction and they will give you a big punch if you get close to them. THe problem also lies with LFS's collision model. That's currently being worked on by the developers

Guys, I really think he's asking how can two cars travelling at the same speed make contact with resulting in huge damage.

I think he's referring to a lag hit.

Quote from Inouva :Yes , other stuff like my Joypad Type ps2 usb and my Saitek AV8R , works perfect

I think Dadge meant do other things work if you plug them into the USB port that is giving you problems.... (I'm assuming here you have issues with certain USB ports)


Once I had issues with some USB ports 2-3 years ago and nothing seemed apparently wrong. It was fine then just stopped working. Anyway I was getting to the point of re-install Windows so out of desperation I tried uninstalling the USB hubs in device Manager. Then, I plugged a USB memory stick back in and windows did it's thing and then they worked, must have reloaded the drivers itself I think. (Don't try this unless you are prepared to maybe re-install Windows, Uninstalling those USB hubs and/or controllers may not be reversible)

Been a while for me on this but ToString() will convert a double to less decimal places. the "N1" means 1 decimal place IIRC.


a = 3.532545453
a.ToString("N1")
evaluates to 3.5

Sometimes when making samples that need to repeat it helps if you copy the sound and add it to the end, but in reverse. Then there is no jump from end back to the beginning. You can do this with Audacity if you need a free audio editing program.

Considering what's possible (and what other games are doing) I always thought the current skid mark model was rather impressive.
