Only just detecting?

Quote from DHRammstein :

All of the source powered games. And, well just about every FPS I can get my hands on, especially both Stalker games. I play a lot of FSX, I especially like it because I'm veerrrryyy slowly getting my pilots license. RPG's are good too, but since Diablo II I've been let down, even Fallout 3 I gave up on.....

Right now I play LFS, a few demo's, always trying new demo's, Stalker Clear Sky and Shadow of Chernobyl. Fallout 3, but as I said I'm getting really bored, Left4Dead, CSS...ET, ETQW. Man I have a ton of games, I guess I'm truly happy online in an FPS owning, got the headset on, hopefully a sound server and ping and I'm good.
I absolytely love Simulation, so LFS and FSX are very important and taken seriously, while FPS online is semi-serious, tons of fun tho. RPG, can't explain it, very rewarding in a different way, like a good book, I suppose that's how it should be?

Yeah Diablo II was the greatest RPG I've played. Can't wait for III, no matter what all the whiners say, it's only in alpha/pre-alpha.

Quote from piggy501 :

Also, hold down 9. It illuminates hazards until released.

Yeah I see this as a feature more than a bug. It's useful if you have Strobe to set them as parking lights. Maybe when we get night racing it'll be handy!

I betcha if CTRA magically came back, they would be full and everyone would stop bitching about cruising. Guarantee it. Just because pick-up racing isn't 'in', and cruising IS 'in', doesn't mean that cruising is destroying LFS.

Quote from morpha :

LFS provides all the dashboard information via OutGauge and additional motion and physical feedback data via OutSim. It's not a game.

qft. LFS is an addiction.

Quote from Joe_Keaveney :

Yeah he's gonna need enough DVI outputs to go to 3 monitors. I don't want to spec him a PC that is then limited in some way (number of DVI outputs). If he goes with TH2GO rather than SoftTH then he can make the use of the cards in Crossfire, whereas if he uses SoftTH he can use the DVI outputs.

Crossfire is .. eh. With an x2 instead of 2 x ... you can use all 4 dvi (afaik) w/o softh or expensive th2go.

Quote from Gills4life :

So once you have unlocked all the cars by driving around a track with a load of barriers on it a bajillion times and got your virtual lottery ticket for the hundredth, then what is the aim?

I fail to see how cruising has MORE of an aim than racing and trying to beat other people to pole position. Good racing is far from boring as hell. I have had some great races, wheel to wheel stuff that has left me with my adrenaline really pumping. I have never ever experienced that on a cruise server. Even when I bought my first virtual burger from the virtual acne ridden teenager at the virtual wimpy, it was incredibly tedious. Not hating at all, but I just totally disagree with you saying that the racing, which this sim was created for, is more aimless and boring than cruising!

I agree that racing isn't really boring most of the time, but can give a very good example of exciting things on cruise servers. Since I cruise on CLC only, I'll use the server as the location of the example. Say you worked for 3 months to get all your cars, but you have lost a lot of money and are at -9,000 euros. (bankrupt + ban + lose cars at -10,000) Then, let's rob the bank! The minimum robbed is 1,000, so no matter what if you dont get away you're done. This motivation really gets your adrenaline going, and you break out into a sweat. You weave and swerve through annoying civilians to try to get away from the pesky police. You push your knowledge of the handling of the car you are using to the limit and narrowly avoid being busted by 2 seconds. You feel you have accomplished the impossible; you feel on top of the world! Soon you fly out of bounds due to barrier physics and go bankrupt. Then you start all over. And for what? It's not about the destination, it's about the experience. You race to get to the finish line, but that's not the main attraction. It's the ride there.

Quote from Speed Soro :

Ah... is there any other race than human race?
Japanese is a race for you or a nationatily?
If you say yellow or black are you talking about race or skin?
I think that anything that defines what you are (your nationality, your colour, your name) can be considered as race while under "racism" rule.
So, like other thread were people starting something like "I hate germans", if you say "Id like to kill all brazilians", you are doing racist commentary and or apology to it.
BTW, it has been since the same group of guys here. I think is time for moderation define what is exactly permited or not, because, If I can come here and start talking bs about other people, I think that is a right for anyone from any country, but sure that would not be the place that mature and inteligente people would like to keep visiting.
BTW, again, when I said "I will start a Kill all Cruisers movement", it is obvious that was just a joke, something different of "I will start a Kill all Brazilians movement", where is evident that it is "something" more.
But I'm really not concerned if or not some kids here are just racist how it is expect them can be, but I'm just asking directly: is that a racist commentary or not? I just want to understand.

I'm sure you're blowing the whole thing out of proportion. He made a joke about your ignorance against cruisers. If you really get offended by something as sarcastic as that, I pray to my God that you do not search the rest of the internet, for there are FAR WORSE things to be read. I don't see anything evident that there is "something more" to the joke, only that he is making fun of you.

p.s. I payed for the game, I have the right to cruise. Please do not attack cruisers, a dev recently had to make an announcement about not attacking them. The attacks have become more steady recently due to the closing of CTRA, and tbh, I'm ****ing sick of it. Grow up, and let this flame war go.

Quote from Speed Soro :

Is that a kind of racism? Are you trying to be funny?

I didn't know Brazilian was a race. I was certain it was a nationality. You sure enlightened me today.

Quote from MiniVan :

My god there's like 80 cruise servers, Yes i go on some sometime but mostly i like to race now, and now there's not enough race servers to join because everyone is at either cruise or drift. I just went online, there was not one TBO server. There was about 15 cruise servers 30 drift servers and 20 demo servers. i saw maybe 3 or 4 race servers that were occupied by maybe 4 or 5 people. god man.

We're just seeing the effects of the loss of CTRA. I honestly have not properly raced since they closed.

Or open up the off ramp and use that as an alternate path for other tracks, changable with layout (as in both sections would be open)

Quote from danthebangerboy :

That shows just how out of touch with things i am, its not 2002 anymore lol

I want a core 2 then!

*cough*core2duo*cough*
and you're better off with a Phenom II or i7

What about the dashboard? Or is it even changable? Does the UF even have a dashboard? it's just a black line...

Quote from Mc21 :

You can just see my G25 to the left of the pic

Q6600 @ 3GHz
Asus P5K-e
4GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400
8800GTS G92
Thermalright Ultra 120
Antec 300
Samsung 226CW

+ invisible speakers!


btw, nice coiled SATA wire, haha. Adds a nice touch.

Hey, you can choose whatever you want; it's your money. I'm just saying maybe do some homework and look up the 7750 kuma and compare it to 5600. I'd do it but, eh.

I still say you should go with the 7750 KUMA.

EDIT: Might want moar than 350W for 9800gt + older x2

Quote from bryanviper :

Not much point since unless hes going to be using a 64bit version of windows he wont be able to see over 3-3.5gb of ram in the system. Also 4gbs of ram is more then enough for almost anything he plans to run. Better to invest that $$ in another part.

Speaking of that

@op
do you plan on buying your O/S or pirating it?
or linux...

Quote from brt900 :

having a muliplayer problem on z10 i can only find 19 servers but i turn it off go on my z instal of lfs and i find 96 servers both filters are the same

Unlock S2?
+ press ALL under cars.

Nice choices. Weakest point is PSU since its bundled with the case, and they usually put crap psu's in with cases. Go for a corsair PSU if you can afford it.

Maybe an ATI version of the 9800 (3850?) moar bang for the buck from what I can tell + better AA (debatable) instead of 9800,

go for the athlon x2 7750 KUMA

Quote from zeugnimod :

I am not a dev so I don't really care about the money. I do care about the amount of people I get to race with since that would also mean more variety in the combos driven on the servers. IMO.

Quote from MijnWraak :

i disagree.
lfs needs money for real car + track licenses. s2 buyers will eventually = moar racers

there.

Quote from garph :

Yes, there is.

not any where you don't use analog sticks + buttons (console controllers)

Quote from garph :

You know what, if you really believed what you've posted in your sig then you would have never made this thread.

LFS needs racers filling race servers.

i really dont get the cruising-hate. LFS obviously can't compete content wise w/ games like r-factor and gtr evo, so why not make $$ off what it can compete w/? insim + physics

edit:

Quote from garph :

there are other games out there for people who want to drive around at speed limits..

no, there aren't.

Quote from garph :

LFS needs people buying a race sim, not people buying a cruise game.
