Quote from Riel :

Pull the fuse and ABS is off, quite easy.



Still, when it comes to simulation ...

When the ABS hits in, i would NEED to feel it in 1) the brakepedal!! (today's FF don't have it), and 2) in steering wheel.

Well, I think making a mod that ticks the brakepedal is possible to get the feeling. But LFS would have to send a signal out. Too bad i am really not into this things.


How can I corner while ABS is hitting in, and I don't feel a thing about it ... I'd turn it off and feel my wheels block

If you engage abs and steer a bit to left or right, the wheel pulsates, so its pretty easy to tell if ABS is engaged.

Quote from JazzOn :

nKpro is a different game not just another lfs server ^^

sounded like lfs server I thought something sounded suspicious with nKpro

Quote from The Moose :

He's now joined the nKPro demo servers as well

got a look at their lfs names?

The devs said they have to work on damage and crash model among many other things to lose alpha tag, so it's not like they're not going to get to it. They choose what they do, when they do it, how they do it, and why. See sig.

Any decent graphics card, really. 7100 is the lowest of the low budget cards from 2005...

I've got g25 and can't stand paddle shifting, and the standard h-shifter sucks, so I got SST Lightning. I can't believe people use paddle shifters out of open wheelers . I only race with H-shifter

Quote from chavm481 :

you can about 60%. i simply have to drive it to know it..

Maybe that's just you. If you are observant and look at how the driver is driving it; how far the gas pedal is being pushed and outcome, how much force is needed for pushing brake or turning, how much you turn, and how the car reacts - cause and effect, you can get a pretty good grasp of how it handles.

run-on sentence ftw?

This would help with the turds turning full lock on turns.

Damn. I had thought that you americans would head straight to the oval(s).

Maybe southerners, but that's not for me.

Use the little screws on end of VGA cable to secure the cable firmly into the port.

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Hmm i still think that it seems a bit low...15 fps.....thats way too low actually

Not for a full AI gtr grid, though. This is why I'm not buying in to this whole dual-tri-quad core fad. I'm stickin with mah trusty single-core! ^-^

Quote from danthebangerboy :

FXO interior is also horrible. Strange that some of the cars have had an updated interior with patch Z and some havent.

As for new interiors, i would go here...

The uf1 doesn't even have an interior! It's all black!

XFR, XRR, FXR are all sequential only cars. You cannot, repeat, CANNOT use h-shifter on them. That'd be like eating soup with a knife. MADNESS!

Quote from Glenn67 :

There there you poor chap

I only need 3-6 racers that I'm familiar with to have a good run, packed servers are over rated

yes but often 3 out of the 6 on ctra do not know how to drive. Cruising is certainly a haven for us night owls in U.S.

Quote from Double_D210106 :

Hi everyone! I got a problem with my G25 wheel, i have no ffb in the patch Z, but everything was all right in the older patch tho! Somebody had the same problem? How do i fix it?

If you haven't played in a while, make sure the Power Cord of the g25 is plugged in. THen in-game hit the > or . key (same key) and increase FFB.

When selecting a car, I get a "Could not get number plate" about 3 times in chat. Only happened since z9. Sometimes get someones elses number plate in pit garage and fixes when i join track.

Quote from (FIN)Eza :

In cache run, all CPU's were working only at 2.4GhZ while in CPU chart E8600 is working at 3.33GhZ (stock speed)

about GPU part, I will run SO4 tests with hardware listed here:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with ATI Radeon 800XT 256MB and Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440
E8600 at stock gets benched with:
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB
ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB

And to see how slow GPU can be before it starts to affect into FPS, we underclock 4870 as low as it takes before FPS decrease.
Dunno how much that helps with anything, but it at least will show how much LFS really depends on GPU

Also testing laptop with 32bit Vista Home Premium with specs like:
Intel T9300 2.5GhZ 6MB L2
4096MB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2700 512MB


I will run tests after this Xmas madness is over so stay tuned!

Ah okay, thanks. S04 test computer is similar to mine, so that'll be helpful.

Quote from DoriMasta :

scawen wai u never actually play online lol

Please don't spam; especially in test patch threads


I agree with one of the posters that the ABS in xrg/xfg should be evened out. Maybe even take it out of XRG and put it back in for XFG to even out a tiny bit.

Thanks for working even when you don't want to, scawen <3

Quote from Bose321 :

Hi, i couldn't find any posts with this, so here i go.

I think that the mirrors need to be bent/crushed/whatever when you hit a wall. Because they now just go through it.

Sorry if this has be posted before.

They do get crushed; I cannot get a pic at the moment, but I have witnessed them get crushed when I roll.

Er, I seem to notice an inconsistency: In your cpu section, in the cache chart, the e8600 gets 113 average, and then in the next graph, e8600 gets 160 average. Whats up with that?
edit: didnt see ypu gave them equal ghz. sorry

Other than that, i'd wish you had compared the GPU's to lower end ones to see the difference. And maybe a single core proc?

p.s. good to know how much of an increase would be expected from an overclock. Might push me to overclock my amd 3700 since i got a san diego core.

Quote from Toddshooter :

What are you talking about? I have a Dell 4600 with a 200watt and something power supply and it runs my:

-1gig of ram
-2 hard drives (internal)
-1 usb hard drive (external)
-and a 256 ati agp graphics card just fine.

Also something to think of is lots of older Dell comp. will not except a regular ATX power supply. You need special connctors and stuff. These Dell power supplies cost more as well.

an old AGP graphics card doesnt take much power. Newer ones require a good dedicated rail and 350+ watts.

Gotta be said really. What other game are you going to get support from the devs themselves at this hour of the day.....

Quote from wheel4hummer :

The FZR has no ABS.

Say you're in an fz5... typo.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

I can't see it being necessary.

Quote from evilpimp :

Erm, why would you want ABS in reverse

See my example above
