Lol, yes ^^

The slots are physically different, not compatible ^^

So if your mobo is AGP, don't buy a PCI-E

For the 6600GT, the power connecor is the same as for HD (at least for mine : Point of View 6600GT, but I'm pretty sure for all 6600GT)

For the PSU, I think a good 400 or 450W is enough, maybe a 350W. (6600GT uses 50W in 3D as I remember) : http://www.xbitlabs.com/articl ... y/geforce6600gt-oc_3.html
300W is a bit short, I've had a Fortron 300W, was heating up.

Edit : CG power cons updated

[OT]

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Wrong thread

Yes but asking for a reply by Scawen is also in the wrong thread, IMO.
Don't forget : this IS the Kitchen Progress report, the 5 stars ranked thread where you can see all these amazing pics, fakes and all that stuff.
[/OT]

CNN International Breaking News (Fakes department)
Aston, 6:40pm (GMT)

Our reporter says a new NOS cheat has been discovered, giving a huge powershift to the cheaters.

When asked, Scawen says :
Yes, it's really boring, I'll have to create a new security system from scratch, and all my stuff will be delayed. I can't tolerate that, cheating is not allowed in LFS. And moreover, using this cheat is really dangerous for the followers, cause there are some secondary risks : car explosion, suffocation, or even asphyxia.
It just smells wrong. There is something stinky about it

Pic : Scawen tests the cheat

You know what's really amazing for me? It has been discoverd (never seen before) by "Déjà-vu".

But you know, that's a very old story, starting around 1780, all Aussies can witness : http://library.thinkquest.org/ ... 8/en/rabbits/history.htm

Maybe an MI5 conspiracy? <------------Troll spotted

Quote from Mogar :

Not with a smile, but a BIG smile, you can be sure about that, even if the next patch just adress the current issues with aero and differentials, without any new feature.

Scawen also replied there will be NO PARTIAL PATCH FOR THE PHYSIC ENGINE, cause it implies removing all hotlaps, and he wants to do that ONCE

Edit : I was reffering to this post : http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... ghlight=physics#post37788

Of course, As tweaker says, there will be an S2 physics update

Quote from Hyperactive :

I need to find a good mämmi recipe to put it here

What about this one? http://www.saunalahti.fi/~marian1/gourmet/mammi.htm
Remember, I'm a frenchie, not sure if it's good.

In this case, maybe I can replace the diet lunch with burgundy snails or frogs' legs (of course with a Bourgogne Alligoté)

Me.Profile.FloodCount++;

Quote from GianniC :

*go's looking if they have it in the Belgian supermarkets*

Well, I think u'll have no problem.

I've forgot a important point : the wine has to be cold (put the bottle 1h in your fridge's door, not the freezer, of course), and never never never use ice (if u do that, canon Kir will come back from heaven for revenge)
ok?

Me.Profile.FloodCount++;

Edit2 : made a mistake, good proportions are 1/3 cassis, 2/3 wine, sorry about that.

//As I'm editing my post, I have to decrease Floodcount
Me.Profile.FloodCount--;
//Hmmm Not sure. Writing a post-it, and puting it on my CRT

Hi Giannic

I'm a frenchie, we rarely drink brandy (even for medicinal purposes). Can I replace it with a Kir : this is a cocktail composed with 1/3 of cassis (blackcurrant liqueur), 2/3 of Bourgogne Alligoté (well known french white wine, AKA Burgundy)

Thanks for help

Edit : Ooops, forgot that : Me.Profile.FloodCount++;

Edit2 : proportions updated <------------ here is the Progress Report

Edit3 : As I'm writing a Progress report, this post isn't flood anymore. Decreasing FloodCount
Me.Profile.FloodCount--;

Physic updates? The devs released many patches, but much less physic updates (I'm playing since 2004)

Edit : Sry, I was wrong, updated (thx Tristancliffe)

Edit2 : OT now

Look at the post title: Scawan & Victin
I know he's not looking like Robin, but that's the best pic I've found ^^
And Eric is shooting with his camera

My opinion
http://pix.nofrag.com/5d/e6/b121e8de219668c65965fb64f4bb.gif

Why? hmmmm

Maybe because (*) :

• Scawen already replied many times "There will not be any progress report till we have something interresting to say" and "I will not realease any other patch before ALL physic's updates are ready", and HE EXPLAINED WHY!
  
• It has been quoted many times
  
• Sawen thanked some member for trying to explain again and again and again
  
• This question comes back every month (moon related?)
  
• Some of them are trolling BHM awards topic : starting here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=70007#post70007
  
• There's another thread (now closed) where they asked all these question and received the same awnsers, including eight posts by Scawen himself : http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... ghlight=suggestionawnsers

(*) not exhaustive list

ps : I'm not hating them, but I'm really bored with these recurrent posts

Edit : added a link

Edit2 : updated # Scawen's awnsers in topic "not a suggestion"

Quote from mrbogeyman :

this thread is really going downhill...........

Read it from start, and ENJOY

U'll see, it's not sooooooo long

Are u sure you see a girl? illepall

I can't see tits, or something like that.

IMHO, we see Scawen looking at the tyres, searching how to improve modeling (grip, slip angle, and so on) . That's all I can see

I just can't understand why he's doing this kind of job NAKED IN THE KITCHEN

:huepfenic :ices_rofl

ps1 : u can compare with the pic on the wall, it's obvious.
ps2 : except for the pilosity







ps3 : plz Scawen, can u tell me what's your preffered shaver (or epilator, not sure witch word is the best translation) : I have to buy a good St Valentin present for my girl friend

Maybe the title is'nt explicit enough : the purpose of my suggestion is to accept permanently 2 drivers per car on the game server, and to allow team's coach spectating, for the long endurance races only, nothing else.

In my mind, the netcode broadcaster is very easier to code than an actual LiveTV. Of course, this broadcaster requires an LFS client. And I think devs have to pay attention to potential security issues.
If you really want an actual liveTV on LFS, that's not what I'm asking for, so you're starting to be OT, and you'd better start a new thread.

Quote from Lible :

If we have 40 racers sitting in non-league server... then most of them are clicking join button all the time. I think it is good idea, but it wil cause alot problems

Open only 20 or 23 slots, as today illepall. Maybe you didn't read my suggestions (see the 1st post) : at first, this is to allow driver switching in long endurance races with more than 10 cars, second, I've just asked for 33 slots, not 40 (but I think it would be great : imagine 20 cars racing the 12h of Aston Historic ).

Quote from Lible :

You fool, they need to buy a ticket illepall

Of course, mates and coach already own a license, cause they're playing LFS. I don't care about liveTV for sponsors or LFS on CNN and NTV, this is only to allow coach spectating.

Quote from Andreas Grauel :

mosquito25, it is an very good point you could there. Do not forget about all the people that does not have LFS. The clanmates or even sponsors could watch your race and the game would get much more popular because every is able to see the races.

Yes, but they'll need an unlocked LFS client : with this system, an LFS client is needed to connect on the LFS broadcaster, and unlocked to the same license level.

To allow real liveTV, the broadcater would have to stream video, but the system I've proposed juste relays LFS netcode.

Recently we had a long endu race test : 6 hours on AS4, and at least 3 people per team/car (no max limit), and we had two major issues.

First : in long endu races, it's impossible to perfectly plan the pit stops. A crash can happen, a driver may have excessive tyre wear or fuel consumption, and so on.
The only way to obtain a complete strategy versatility is to allow permanently 2 teammates per car on the game server, because these incindents can't be anticipated and sometimes we have to relay sooner than it was originally planned. Imagine a crash in the last chicane on AS4, 2 laps before the planned relay. Of course you would want to change your strategy, immediately return to the pits, refuel, change tyres and switch driver .

We've also considered the internet disconnection risk (absolutely unpredictable), and we've established the rule that the team had to restart their race from scratch. However, a driver is needed for that. So two drivers per car had to be on the server at all times.
For this reason, we've restricted the grid to ten cars (obviously ^^ : 20/2). But this leads to too few cars on a track like AS4, wich is around 8 km long. After a short time, all drivers are really far from each other, and it's not that much fun anymore.

Second : in an endu race, it's better to have a coach to change the race strategy in real time, I think it's very important. And sometinmes he can't be one of the two drivers logged on the game server. In this case, allowing the coach to join the game server is a pure waste of game slots : 2 drivers + 1 spectator, 3 slots per car. We have a 6 or 7 car grid. Imagine.

Now my ideas :
For the first problem, changing the max connections to 33, but keeping only a maximum of 20 racing cars could be a good solution : 15 cars on track, 15 substitues, and 2 or 3 judges. It could be better , but I don't know if it's possible (i.e. mpr restrictions).

For the second one, the best solution would be an LFS Broadcaster, connecting on the game server as a client, accepting LFS client connection, and broadcasting game server packets to all its clients. With this system, all the coaches could watch the race using their LFS client (including tyre and damage screens, camera control, and so on), but with just one slot usage on the game server. Of course this broadcaster doesn't need to be on the game server computer, nor sharing its internet connection. And Broadcasters could be cascaded, allowing 100 clients (or more) spectating.

I know the LFS brodcasting was already mentioned (on RSC, and recently on this forum), but never from this point of view (coaching a team) AFAIK

Quote from Hankstar :

Simple, you noobs (if, in fact, your assertion that the foolishness and wrecking was a result of inexperience and not plain old stupidity)

There are two replays as attachement in this thread. As S2 licensed, you can see by yourself. IMO, this definitely not inexperience, there are'nt noobs, but real wreckers.

ps : they're already banned for a lot of french servers for a while, at least til REAL & SINCERE apologize, not this sort of stupid draft I've seen.

ps2 : As I said before, I've posted a link on this thread on LFS France forum, and some french racers replied : hOlz & s0n!c were already well known as wreckers by other french racers

Last edited by mosquito25, Wed 31 Aug 2005, 07:37.

@s0n!c. The german community is very big, and many members have good skills in english, I'm quite sure you can find someone to translate in english.

Da Hoe can do that maybe. And I think you know him very well : he was leading the race when you parked both in T1, ruining his race.

ps : s0n!c played with kb, but hOlz has a wheel, and it seems s0n!c can drive well whith kbd, when he wants, for example to hit his friend, or to join him in T1.
