That is cool.

I never got to use tweak would be cool if it was available for X.

Just trying all these out now,
great fun.
Cheers.

I tried a low FF setting and hated it, maybe its because my real life car does not have power steering and i am used to using a bit of force but i prefer at least 105%.

Up until last night I have been playing on 720 degrees steering, i deided to try it on 360 and it was incredibly easy to drift (i mean better than my usual crap attempts).

However i decided to set it back on 720 as 360 is hardly realistic right? i'm still unsure i found a lot of old threads on this and advice was conflitcing, so i will leave it down to personal preference.

what do the top racers/drifters use in there settings? (if they even tell anyone).

hmm lets add a porsche logo somewhere then we can charge extra.

will reserve judgement till a good review comes out when its released.

Quote from rc10racer :

I am in the crysis mutiplayer beta and it is a very good game for what a beta is and there is not many bugs from what i have seen so far but i have only seen 1 person wall glitch.

This game brings the fastest system around to it's knees when you enable very high setting.

Hey mate,
whats your rig and what sort of framerates are you getting on the highest settings (if you have tried them)?

Will defintely try crysis.

i'm loving bioshock now though.

There are a few other DX10 games, world in conflict (mentioned), hellgate: london, crysis (mentioned), i think there is one more that was emailed to me from nvidia today.

but no way am I upgrading to vista until it is actually required and is worth it.

Hmm where is that embarassed smiley? Well that clears that up nicely.
Cheers.

Funny thing is I read the manual.

ah i was wondering how to use the sequential mode with the H shifter and not just the paddles. cheers.

also, machine head-

I was going to do that but some of the cars are 6 speed and i change cars quite a bit.

I guess i could chop and change all the time its not to hard to change them.

Quote from Davo :

Reduce your force feedback strength to 105% in the settings. Check to see whether the wheel rotation setting in control panel ,matches with the one specified in LFS. Also make sure calibration lock is on.

Thanks mate. It's all sorted now.

Out of interest, which button do you guys set your reverse too? and which button for handbrake?

Hmm I may have got that wrong, currently they are:
Q6600 / Q6700 (Quad Core)
342 / 699

Australian dollars. Pretty sure that just a few months ago they were 650-800 AUD$.

That current price taken off msy in australia.

P.S jakg i feel that this is a stupid question but can you actually pre-order S3? Couldnt see it on the lfs.net page so i assume not.

I was thinking about this the other night.

Would be great if stalling was enabled to enhance the realism even more. Also, if you don't let the clutch out right the car should 'bog down', that way it is even more realistic to get a good launch.

That would be cool.

Hey guys,
I downloaded those drift layouts for autocross. Great fun!

There is 1 layout that has a smaller circle and a larger circle in it and you have to try and hold the drift all the way around it. I can manage half of the bigger circle until I lose it.

I figure with practice I will be able to do the whole thing, i'm using 720 degrees steering, is this ok? I know it would be easier on a lower setting but I want to learn on 720 and use that all the time for race/drift.

Just getting back into this game its great.

It was weird about the Q6600.
One day it was 800AUD, the next it was down to 360, so I never intended to go quad it was just much better value at the time.

I will put it back down to 16X and see if its noticeable, if it is ill leave it at 32 because it looks so smooth.

This guide has improved my graphics no end!
i set the AA to 32X as my system couldnt handle 64 even though its brand new lol. i mean it ran the game but it started to lag so i set it to 32X, maxed everything else out.

maxed all the game settings out and dl'ed all the hi res packs too (skies, tracks, lights, steering wheel, wiper blades etc).

It is the best graphics i have seen. its amazing.

thanks jakg.

Ok well i wen't with SLI 32XQ

graphics are so good now, best ive seen in my gaming career (wouldnt be hard).

tried it on 62X but even my computer couldnt handle it to well, it played but then started to lag so thought no point, now im getting about 70-100 fps. i think that for the setting its on combined with all those hi-res packs this is good.

cheers.

Hey jakg,
i have a slightly different screen, should i go for 64X?

EDIT: err, just uploaded your picture lol.
will upload mine now.

Also, see that text in red? Is that ok?
Thanks.

Oh just read your guide on how to make LFS look better jakg, nice.

I might try that, do you think the differences would be noticeable to what I currently run? I.e all maxed out with all hi-res packs.

I also must say a lot of effort has gone into those hi-res packs they are amazing. :jawdrop:

Hmm just did a quick run at 1920X1200 32bit.
also loaded high res skies, high res tracks, hi res everything really (steering wheel, wiper blades, lights etc all from lfs-database).

getting 200-240 fps with everything maxed out.

I dont really know what else to change to make it look even better but I think it looks fricken awesome compared to what im used to! I used to have it on low everything and like windowed and 1024X768

also tried it loading 20 AI cars and it ran smoothly but cant remember the fps.

I really like that skin bbman.

bump

All working now, thanks.
Nice looking site to.

Lol. now another issue.

all the axis are working but it seems whenever i crash and restart the steering wheel centre is set to like half lock. and it vibrates like hell nearly shaking it off the desk as well.

seems one problem after another.

Lol I am the opposite of rich man!!
I am a uni student, on top of that I own a rotary that chews through the juice (petrol), I am constantly broke lol!

But, in the holidays and weekends i work my ass off to be able to buy shit like this and fund my car/rent/bills etc.

oh, you should see my old pc (laptop, 5 years old, 16mb graphics 128mb ram etc), it took me 5 years to upgrade hahah!
