eh? i'm not 100% sure on what you want... please explain in a little more detail.. Maybe some exact dimension would help too (760x180) for example and i'll see what i can do

God bless Tux

I do love Linux.
Using FC4 on one of my home machines, and FC3 on my Quad Core Dedicated Server (with 2x Windows servers under vmware inside this)

By far the most stable OS.. and with ubantu installed, one of the most stunning visually

THis is only my opinion though.. lets not get into this windows / linux / macOSX war before anyone thinks i'm flaming windows <G>

Thats said.. Long live tux, hehehe

Ok this is what vista Actully looks like (i am on Ultimate, with dual screen, hence the wierd sizes of these).

oh and any know why Photoshop CS3 Eats ram like candy? lol

[Edit]
Doh! I didnt see the Vista desktop 2 posts before, lol... Looks nice too I'm guessing you're like me... a big screen and a smaller screen hence the 2 different res's? hehehe

oooooh... now that's what i call talking sense.

+1 for that idea Hyperactive

maybe for now a sticky with all the shortcuts in it might be helpful for n00bs?

HANS / Seatbelts would be a nice addition. +1 from me.

Put it this way... Games with Much inferior Gameplay / collision detection / physics (i mention no names and will not use this for flaming.. but i think we all know the games i mean) manage weather, and dynamic lighting etc.. i dont see why LFS wont follow in the future.

I get a sneaking suspision they will come up with things we never dreamed of

only time will tell.

Someone Mentioned UFO's ??? now that'd be sweet!

(i was kidding)

Seriously though. I really enjoy everything about LFS so far, it is by far the best driving sim i have come across
(if only it had the GTLegends soundtrack and graphics to go with it... wow!)

The interface of the game itself is fine. an interface needs to be easy to navigate, and functional, which the LFS one is.

If the quality of the physics and dynamics of the game isn't enough to blow your mates away (remember this is an Alpha not a released game), then we dont want them here.. simple as that

oops... sorry.. i didn't mean to sound like i was speaking for the whole LFS community -- i'm sure many agree tho

Alas My Drivers licence was taken away, otherwise i woulda been there, to see how the pro who comments on my teams driving all the time does it hehehehehe

Hopefully i'll have it back by the next race (unless someones going via Cornwall, hehe)

Best of luck out there Matey

what you're looking for is knows as a ghostcar, and it's already been done.. not by the devs, but by a 3rd party as a mod..
i've never used it but heard of it. link is here...

Hope that was helpful

Maybe they should have left it so you had to /edit_eng first?? we might not have had this problem then

[hides=from scawen] if i cant see him he cant see me [/hides]

My Pc is Powered by a hamster in a wheel i think

that count?

ooh now thats an idea 200 hamsters, a dynamo, and an electric motor.. Would that count as Biomechanics? hehe

On a Serious note though, I think the car of the future will be Hydrocell (honda already proved the concept), or am i missing the point of this discussion like i normaly do? hehe

Anyone got 3ds Max working with brazil on Vista yet?
Upgraded to vista the other week, now i got to restart into XP whenever i want to render something. I wouldnt mind except most my Graphics apps are in Vista, only 3ds and LFS on XP

[edit]
I know it's a little offtopic, but i assume this would be the best place to ask <G> thanks
[/edit]

i suck.. so i hardly battle

UKCT Are well known to be great team players, but crap drivers, i'm just making sure i keep the tradition alive <G>

the day i bought LFS S2, i thought i'd try my luck.
My missus said i wasn't allowed a BMW cause i had a perfectly good car already (Mondeo 2.0) , so i went out, Jumped a roundabout and sent my front shocks through my bonnet. I got my BMW 320i SE 2 days later , woooooooooooooo hehe

Nice work Man,

Makes me want to open 3ds Max again

Anyone done a V8-Ute out of the FXO Yet? <G>

hehe

That would have been a good one if he'd managed to pull it off without ending up on his roof <G>

I dont have a Licence Anymore ...
I got caught speeding.... by ALOT! ... but before my licence went, this was my baby

God i miss her more than my Ex missus

Quote from LazLoW :

I do not believe he is talking about internet lag.

Good luck any system on the market keeping above 15 frames.

(okay, over exaggeration, but my system which runs 80 frames in single player won't run 8 with THIRTY TWO AI Car's on the track)

There's a reason for that. in Multiplayer, LFS is sending your PC certain information all all other cars on the track (hence internet lag), However, When you are running AI's in single player mode. Your CPU is creating the AI's, The Physics for those AI's driving, Collision Detection for all AI's etc etc.. thats ALOT of work for a CPU.. Yeah on slow internet more connections may be a little laggy, but it wont hurt your FPS as much as AI's

Damn, This Tactic always worked in roadrash

I cant speak for all leagues but the way it works/ed in the STCC is that the stewards would be spectating the race, and any thing they noticed during the race they would note down to be reviewed. After the race they will scoot through some quick replays to make a final decision, and also check out any reports made.

Basically, it will all depend on the league organiser i think

Basically A leagues system, with the rules posted somewhere.

The Marshalls (or stewards as we called them in the STCC), would need somewhere for them to go in which a database of all leagues and rules could be placed.

When called upon by a league (ie the organisers say, we need help this decision has been appealed... or help.. we're a steward short), The marshalls could simply Login. Get a copy of the rules (in a standard format so they can find rules, clauses etc easily), then view the MPR, or Join the Live event server with all they need in front of them.

That's a very very very basic idea of how i would see that working (you may have been thinking in a very different way).

As said, not LFS Cops, purely Stewards on call if requested.

I'm here to help if ya need anything.. As i said.. i can't marshall, i'm crap with rules.. If its not Theoretical or code based.. i'm useless <G>

I cant afford a G25

I do have a DFP though, And an old Ferrari wheel which i use for the clutch pedal. << i meant DFP, original post said G25 lol

My Manual Shifter is an Old Joystick, with a home made H-Plate attached, and Shifter software, which converts Axis on a Joystick to Keypresses.

Crude, but works --- will do me until i can afford the G25

I think i'll stick with the 10-15 on my box thanks

If you want to earn money from Hosting LFS servers, I would suggest you come up with a standard SLA (Service Level agreeement) And detailed information on what comes with the server, Ie what if an Admin wants to Mod thier Server (such as the STCC run quite complex Databasing and custom software running on the server).

Also giving away the odd free server to something you consider a good cause wouldn't hurt your Popularity.

UKCT arent in this to make money, so we only offer Free Servers to something we find interesting, or that we as a group would like to support We dont sell them.. Although we have been approached in the past, Purely because of the support we have offered the community.

I agree. A standardised rule set would be a good idea. Not that i would be able to marshall ( i play LFS in between projects, not a set amount of time ) , it would certainly help releive stress and debates in other leagues.

Top notch Idea, It'd get my support

ok.. Firstly.. a big congrats to the winner (lucky sod... When you're done with it send it my way ).

secondly. The M6 does top out just a tad over 500 Bhp. However, It's not just point and go. Once into M Mode, You have to use the I-Drive to go into advanced engine settings, then select the 500 odd BHP option (Dont ask me why but they dont let it do that out the box, you gotta set it up :-\)

oh and thirdly... Don't flame the BMW's... I love my beamers (then again, my driving sucks anyways )... Someone buy me an E30 convertable and make me feel better? hehehehe

Again.. Congrats Danny
