Im currently having more wireless problems i had a few yesterday but fixded them turned the pc on this morning and it woudnt connect, turned my other pc on, connected fine played with router settings still no connecting reinstalled drivers/belkin program still nothing uninstalled belkin program and drivers reinstalled drivers just used windows still nothing
I can see the network in the network list but it just wont connect first time i try with windows it will refresh second time it just says waiting for network untill that disapears and it gives up, with the belkin program it just says "Connecting to network: Default (my router) scanning"

Its realy starting to do my head in, will it be easier just to try and get hold of a uber long ethernet cable and just link it under the carpets and to my new pc?

Cheers,
Jim.

well i got my dfp today and im slowly getting used to it after hours of constant spinning but i have a slite problem, whenever and i meen WHENEVER i put my foot down before or mid corner (espicialy second half of blackwood first chicane) i will allways spin out on the exit with or without ff etc the only way i can make it not is by underturning and hitting the tyres -.-. This is all in fbm fyi.

Before i started using my wheel i wasnt particulary fast i could pull 1.16 with keyboard as a PB, now im pulling 1.23+ If i manage to finish a lap, Yeah ive improved since this morning but im still failing, is this just a matter of trial and error of how far i can push myself before screwing up?

For the record im using the same set, but it even tends to happen with the defualt set and the downforce on that is a joke.

Cheers,
Jim.

Quote from marcovtwout :I do both grip racing and drifting on LFS, but I thought if something could actually be achieved by making a topic, it's best to explain some reasoning about it.

On another PC here the previous patch is installed, and though I like all the other improvements on Patch Y, I'd like to see this limitation being removed. To add another reason, the car sounds even better in the 7000-8000 rpm range.

I agree with this, as i also do both and im also not to keen on the rev limiter it really has taken some of the effect out of drifting the engine doesn't sound as cool and the slides feel weird while holding them and tbh i think if it stays like this ill loose my interest in drifting :|

Anyway +1

Quote from 73AMX401 :I know this is going to open a can of worms but i have to ask why do people have a problem using the clutch with a keyboard on Patch Y? Furthermore if you have a problem with the clutch then turn the manual clutch off instead of coming on here and complaining like a bunch of idiots. By the way, I use a keyboard with the manual clutch and i have never burnt the clutch up. Its not that hard. I would love to have a G25 but that's not in the budget right now. I have actually used the keyboard and clutch since i joined on Patch W and at the time I wished it the cars would stall. Now we get it and all I have seen is complaining. Have you people tried driving the cars more realistically? Sure in a game you can do 7000rpm clutch dumps with no problem but IRL that could be load of damage. Personally I'm glad for the clutch heat because it proves that LFS is moving forward to a more realistic horizon and if some people don't like it and don't want to cope with changes then farewell we didn't need you to start with. By the way, I do know that the clutch isn't the best on a keyboard but that's a realistic step I couldn't go without using. Also sorry if this is already been said I'm just tired of seeing people complain about every little detail of a WORK IN PROGRESS game. Hence these little things called patches that people cry over.

I agree with you mostly except for your point that its the clutch, it ISNT the clutch kb users have problems with its the throttle dropping as it dosnt drop quick enough and (i dont think) button control rate effects this, so we have to wait for about half a second before we can switch up a gear. But auto is quicker with the FBM and FOX etc anyway?

Does anyone else happen to use steam+lfs together? If so do you get the problem where you can view messages and friends everything in game but cant type? If so anyone know anyway to fix this? Me and a few friends have it just wondering if it can be fixed.

Cheers,

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :I got the latest series on DVD, but I didn't know the new ones were being shown on TV. Had to edit this post because I didn't read the first post properly and thought you meant end of Smallville. Next season should be epic, it will be about his training mostly I think, and perhaps are more global disaster to deal with, rather than
Spoiler - click to reveal

Tbh i think thats a few series infront or behind whats been on E4

[Spoiler]In the lat episode of the series i watched the end is where its shown chloe's healing power and the weird phantom thing which is like a clone clark says 2Im a weirder version of you" then flies off[Spoiler/]

EDIT: Just read the full spoiler (didnt seeit all before) and maybe i was wrong,

but I have a feeling Chloe's healing power[/COLOR] Will play a big role in it?

Quote from Stang70Fastback :Lol, true. Actually, then there is something you CAN do. You've probably noticed that when you change the refresh rate, the image moves drastically and you have to manually adjust the image again. You could fool with the refresh rates for the two resolutions. I'm sure you can find two that will minimize how much the screen moves when you change it. Common sense really, and you've probably already done that.

Short of that, though, you're out of luck my friend

Well i didnt realise that, but if im right in thinking CRT's can give eye strain at low refresh rates? but ill give it a try.

Cheers anyway

Quote from Stang70Fastback :Not really. If your monitor doesn't have an auto adjust feature, you really can't get away with anything other than aligning it yourself. I'm surprised that it doesn't have that feature though. Sounds like a high enough resolution that the monitor would be modern enough to have that feature. Either way, you're kind of stuck. It's an LCD right?

CRT >.< Got it free from a friend as my mum wants to use MY tft
Cant argue with the person whos buying the new pc for me realy

Resoloution problems
jimaxx
S2 licensed
Well with my screen im using on my new pc, it goes up to a resoloution of 1600x1024 (if i want anything high than 60Refresh) still maxes at 75 thoe.

But my problem is: I want to run games at 1600x1024, but this resoultion is just to much for me to get used to within windows everything is so small, but if i run it like this it meens whenever i go into a game i will have to resize the screen with in its controls due to it not having a auto adjust.

Anything i can do about this?
Cheers,
Jim.
