Quote from Warper :Bah, google.video doesn't work in germany...

Works perfectly Just use a non-german proxy for your Browser temporary. Check this site for public proxys. US proxys work for sure, others i didn't try.


LoL what is this :eek: looks like driving LFS against AI drivers

Quote from ajp71 :The solution is not to make a second car unrealistic, remove locked diff and all LSD options from the XF GTi, how many small hatches have an LSD?

You dont make the Car unrealistic, you just cover LFS physics flaws with a locked diff. The handling of an open diff hatchback in LFS is so unrealistic unless u change your setup to unrealistic values. But agree nothing else then open diff for Uf1k.

Quote from tristancliffe :The trouble is there are so many different 'types' of 9600 I can't work out what is safe overclocking terratory for my card. The reviews all show higher default clock speeds than mine seems to have :S

If you realy like to try, i can suggest Atitool . It has an automatic OC mode which works amazingly well. It can read your GPU temp. and can read and control the GPU fan if your card is supported.

Quote from cheddo7 :You must be a God then.
Slow CPU?? Are you serious? I'm sure even a single 2.4 will run it fine with a decent 6600GT.
You are an idiot. Thank-you for your non-informative response.

And to all the others - thank you for the heads up on the dual core issue, I have found some more information and am working on a cure as we speak.
Thanks to all except big CPU man.
Cheers,
Cheddo.

Lol your taking this personal ? What
gee take a pill or better go F urself.

Quote from tristancliffe :calorific value of diesel is LOWER than gasoline

LOL Fuel Tanks are limited by 90Liters not xx KG. Gasoline HAS approximately 15% less energy per unit of volume then diesel. Gasoline IS approximately 15% lighter then Diesel per unit of volume.

Quote from ajp71 :I dobut it will be real pump diesel, sounds like a PR stunt to me, a highly strung racing engine will be so different from a road engine any economy gain will be lost and there will no dobut be a load of trick electrics to solve the usual throttle response issues with a diesel

Sure a race diesel will be so different from a road engine, but it's the same for every racing otto engine. Ricardo showed their diesel 'concept study' based on a V10 judd reduced to 4.6 Liter. Ricardo's prediction for this engine is 637PS@5500rpm, 850Nm@4000rpm , 10% less fuel consumption under full load , 20% less fuel in the Range of 80% max.Rev, 165kg weight.

But your right they have a lot of work to do. Not becouse of the throttle response but the engines are not allowed to produce any visible smoke. Then they have to make the engine lighter, if they would just modify a usal diesel engine it would be to havy and would have too much torque killing every gearbox. Taurus Sport tried a modifyed 5L v10 VW Tuareg engine and failed miserabel. Just the engine weighed about 290kg which is nearly 1/3 of the 900kg limit. And even with reduced torque the clutch or gearbox failed alternating.

Will a Diesel win in LeMans? experts say yes! Because diesels are overreached by the regulations. The are allowed to use the same air restrictor size and are allowed to carry the same amount of fuel.
But Audi probably won't show 'everything' 2006 , because pegeaut planned a diesel for 2007.

I've just installed Nforce 81.95 drivers and benchmarked it vs. 81.85. The new driver is a little bit fast , at least it's not slower Tested with a 7800gtx.

Quote from Nitemare :if we could get our hands on the description of data structure motec analyzer uses for input, it would be possible to input data from lfs RAF file into it...

Yes , please someone do a .raf->.ld converter. So people who bought GTR can make at least some use of their product . I'm sure i saw a description of Motec's .ld format i just can't find it now

F1perfview is good , but Motec Interpreter is better, much better.

Edit: Just found this , but thats not what i'm looking for

Quote from Seahorse :Dual cores are having problems - try reading the thread above...illepall

Maybe you shouldn just read the first post. Theres one guy having problems with a 4200 X2 , while others don't. If you would read more you would have noticed that there are people with good single cores rigs and bad FPS too. And even that one guy with the problem said:
Quote : I have mailed to store where I have bought my latest components.
In their words, Asus said that cpu is faulty, store has contacted also to AMD support so I have to wait some time.

And you go and state dual cores have a problem ... now illepall urself. God just check lfsbench and see what FPS a P4 2.8 Ghz can do.

If that P820 would be mine , i would exchange it with a P640. Or i would try to overclock that P820. There are many people running P820 at the 4Ghz range with propper cooling.

Slow Cpu -> low FPS. Can't see a problem here.

Quote from Woz :2-4 wheel rotations, so you think all the dirt should be off the tires within a few feet of the car joining the road.

not all dirt , read again.

Quote :Have you ever felt the surface of a real racing slick when its cold? (Even cold they are soft and sticky, hot the grid and other shite they would pick up would go into the tire surface.

Sure did i touched my slicks which i use on trackdays. Have you ever tryed to clean a hot dirty slick with your hand? You would be surprised how easy dirt goes off. Grass and sand can be removed with a wipe of your hand. Some smaller stones which are stuck in the slick, needs more force to remove, but you don't need a screwdriver or something. But pieces of rubber that you picked up needs some force to be removed, especially when the slick is cold again. Then you need a 'hot-air blower' and a putty to remove these rubber pieces. Not to mention that there isn't just on compound on the market , 'soft and sticky'.

Quote :I dont know how good LFS is with the dirt model but I know this. Before dirt on tires people would cut corners and be off the track wide to get the best speed through any given corner. With tire dirt enabled people tend to drive ON the track just like people do IRL.

I think in LFS dirt is faked rather then simulated(faked, like the physics in GTR are faked).
People do drive off the track IRL where it makes sense, mostly cutting the inside.

I thought about this some time. And i think, the griploss with fully dirty tires is fair but it last way,way to long. The tire should loose massive dirt when rejoining the track in short time. And by short time i mean something like 2-4 wheelrotations. After these 2-4 wheelrotations there should only be a small amount of dirt on the tire, which should be hardly noticeable. The rest of dirt should go away within "some corners".

Road normals should loose more dirt (all dirt?) after 2-4 Wheelrotatios then slicks.

What you think?

I think the review and points are good. I mean which other game with an outdated grafik and soundengine could get 5/10?

I can't see how people still use that "S2 is Alpha" argument for protecion. If S2 is alpha what was S1 then? Would be a nice trick for Microsoft too "well here's our new Windows , it's alpha but please pay for it. And if you find bugs or you are missing some features, don't go on our nerves, its alpha."

Quote from AndroidXP :and it will change the same the RSC threads did. Namely: nothing.

At least since i play/know LFS, tyre physics/parameters had changed 2 times. And there was some kind of discussion before. If Scawen was influenced by that discussion ... only he knows.

I think Sinbad is very right , here's a video which 'proofs' that. Look at car#42 he got dirt on all wheels , and can keep up with the cars infront at the next corner.

Quote from Kegetys :If that works then its a bug (Sounds pretty odd though) it should only activate when there is only one car on the track.

Quote from tristancliffe :Well, you can see EXACTLY what line to take, and EXACTLY when to brake. All it can't help is getting on the power early.

You can see it , but you still need the skill to do it
I guess you didn't try out the Mod cos your talking WR all the time. You can not extract a ghostlap from any WR .spr file. You have to record your own ghost. Or if people upload ghostcars you can use them.

But what realy sucks about the mod is the fact that it can be used in multiplayerraces when you have admin access on the server your playing.

Quote from Bob Smith :Yeah, 4-way adjustable dampers, and some damper load-damping graphs would be cool too.

I would even say we need more the 2 way per travel direction. LFS has so many different cars and tracks (rallyx) that you need different damper characterictics. Somekind of "damper equalizer" and a damper-graph showing the damper characterictics
