Put some AI on SO sprint 2. They can't seem to take the right line.

That's a lot of work for two hands...
He has a clutch button on the shifter and a clutch lever, and a e-brake that activates the clutch, a brake lever, and a throttle ring on the wheel that moves up and down...
and he can still do a good drift! Large amounts of respect for his efforts.

Quote from evilpimp :Negative, there was another skid sound mod. I believe it was by XCNuse but not sure.

There is also one made by DaveWS which I have currently used since Patch V (and will probably never replace it). There is a link to it on his signature.

DFP is great overall. I also heel-toe without a clutch. For comfort, I pushed the pedals far enough to the right so when I straighten my right leg, it is already over the brake pedal without any need to move my leg left or right to get it. The biggest problem I have with heel-toeing is trying to keep the brake application constant. Whenever I blip the throttle with my foot, I lift off the brake and with my axis sensitivity set to maximum, I tend to overshoot the corner when braking. If you see me in Conedodgers 1, you probably see me overshoot the corner and hit someone, overshoot and go into the gravel, overshoot then lock the brakes and slide to make it through the corner, or steer away from the corner so I don't hit anyone.
The problem you might get could be all of the pedals dying on you then going back to life. It happens to revision A models of the DFP (which I unfortunately have). Try to get revision B models if you can.

:jawdrop: -> :bowdown:
Your name should be "wtf i have an awesome cockpit", if it can fit...
The only problem I see is the shifter because it looks like a black jellyfish.

Actually, if you look at some drifting videos, there is a moment where the driver lets go of the wheel and the car does the countersteering itself, so yes, it is normal.

Well, as far as I know, kegetys isn't banned for it so I'm guessing it is ok but you aren't allowed to tell anyone how to do it or release that kind of mod to the public.

Just work for it. Its pretty easy actually, just grab a lawnmower or some things to car wash with and you are pretty much set. Also, try talking to people at school to see if you can get a job. It's not that hard to get off your seat and do something (but it probably will be hard to leave your seat once you get LFS S2 and enjoy it) so why not take some time away from your computer? I'm working for my dad at his liquor store to pay off for the computer (well part of the computer actually. He's letting me off easy if I get good grades). You're older than I am so you should have a better chance of going out and getting a job than I do.

How good of a graphics card do you need to run 1080p on an nvidia 8600gts? I know the biggest toll would be on AA because the screen is so large but am I able to get a steady 60 fps on something so big (well its not too big of a TV but the resolution would be a lot higher than the one I'm running now).

Also a question to those who use a TV as their main computer monitor, is it hard to read the text on the screen?

I doubt it could kill other components. Maybe you should reset the BIOS to see if you could bring your friend's computer back again (or change the BIOS).

The only thing I could think that would break from a drop immediately would be the hard drive, but that's with the power off. I can't really imagine what else would break with the power on because CPUs and RAM are seated pretty well.

I love the RAC as well since it's really fun to drive at the limit. And its pretty easy to drive too once you set the suspension up right.
FZ is the hardest for me because it feels so big and sluggish compared to the rest of the cars.
The FZR is the hardest GTR for me too because it has immediate power delivery unlike the other 2 GTR cars.
The BF1 is also really hard because everything just happens too quickly for me to react to.

AVG 8.0, ad-aware here. You should do a full scan with both then do another scan after restarting your computer to see if it came back. I also went into the program installations folder to see if anything that I haven't recognized before was there. Usually, the software tells you what folder it found the infection in so I usually go there and delete stuff but only wisely because sometimes it can be inside an important registry key or critical program.

If that doesn't work, you should back-up everything important and reformat the drive. Make sure you scan whatever you used to back up the stuff in(like a usb hard drive) on another computer to see if it is safe to restore your backups.

Hey Chris
Start here. This is a pretty good guide from what I've read. I'm reading a bunch since I'm going to build my own when I get the money (even though I'm quite satisfied with my Dell now, I still regret buying it).
Linky: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/building-pc,511.html
If you need any help, I'll be glad to clear things up. I'm betting you'll get a better PC than mine even though you'll spend the same amount of money. Oh by the way, do you need a monitor?
O/T: What is that in your avatar? It looks interesting.

It really angers me how kids behave now.
On Friday I was walking back to school after some lunch and 3 guys were throwing ice cubes at a guy mowing grass. Then, some dipstick threw his whole drink down at the guy. I felt like throwing my drink at those kids but I knew I'd start a fight so I didn't do it.
Even the 8th graders are a bunch of dipsticks. It puts shame on the kids who don't do jack-assed things or who don't deserve it.

Quote from richukss :Sorry for offtopic .
I need new wheel too, and i can't decide between DFP and RGT..
I'm looking for racer who have been drived with both wheels, to share his impressions.
I'm scared about DFP because lfsmanual says -
Is it true?
And again, sorry for offtopic, and bad english.
Edit - RGT looks like a piece of cheap plastic..

Well I have the DFP and yes, it is somewhat true that in 900 degree mode, it is harder but not impossible to drift with. I'm drifting 900 degrees and the only trouble I ran into was if I use the lx6 as the car of choice (since it is very sensitive) or if I enter with a high angle. You don't need to tune the rotation down that low to make it easier. If 900 is too hard, try 720, then 540, then 360, etc.
I'd go for the DFP but I wouldn't turn down the thrustmasters wheel either.

Never really did since I have the tendency to try to hear a part of a song that I haven't heard before.
"Hey, I hear the sound of metal scraping! Oh wait..."

If I already know the song then I have the tendency to try to keep time in my head which throws me out of focus. Only if I feel the need to distract myself from something like anxiety, boredom, do I need to turn on music. I even use it to distract myself from getting distracted and it could make me do work better.

I like the graphics but I don't like the bloom and the dull brownish color because it looks overdone.
The damage looks really good from what I've seen from the video.
The physics are... pretty arcadey from the looks of it. Drifting looks too grippy and racing looks a bit slippery. It looks like the BMW race car in one of those videos almost always did a small slide and in drifting, the Silvia looked like it was still planted firmly on the road. Maybe the guy driving sucked but the physics look bad for people who want a sim racer (I think they are targetting a more general audience).
Oh and the sounds are good, but aren't either. Some are sharp and a bit realistic but the Silvia sounds like a leaf blower (maybe that's how they are supposed to sound like) and the BMW sounds almost the same, but its more violent. They probably made their own sound sample or something but whatever it is, it was probably based off of a leaf blower.

Its Lustgas, like the title of the video says.
It's similar to adding NOS but that's pretty extreme (I mean, it looks like he catapulted to the end of the drag strip. Even real life drag cars don't launch that quickly.)
Doubt the guy will release it. There are a select few who will use it to screw up good races.

I set my contrast, digital vibrance, and gamma in such a way that when the sun faces the back of a car, it is bright enough to make part of the license plate impossible to read.
Now with this, I probably won't be able to see part of the car's backside!
Still, it is a visually appealing mod and I happen to like it.

The crashes from this bloom remind me of an RPG from codemasters I used to play. Basically all of the Nvidia graphic card users crashed when they tried to turn bloom lighting on.

^: How about setting the affinities of LFS and FRAPS on different cores? Open up task manager and instead of having them use all cores, set LFS to 1 or 2 cores and Fraps to the other 1 or 2 cores. I think that might work for dual core/quad core users.

On Topic: Nice drift. I wish I could do that with my DFP but all I get is a bunch of spin outs or I snap back in the wrong direction from countersteering too quickly .

Have you tried configuring their axes yet? Go to wheel/joystick and click axes/ff. When you press r2 and l2 it should move a few bars on the right.

I've never really heard of NOD32 except that it was good for people who do know what they're doing (and I assume you do). I'd chose Adaware too but I don't like the 2007 version since its a bit limited. I'd say go for the NOD32, ZoneAlarm and Adaware.

I'd have AVG antivirus 7.5 as another recomendation because it's free, lighter than Norton, and its not very limited at all (only the advanced settings like schedules and etc. would be limited).

Trend Micro HijackThis is another program I attempted using but I got a little confused. What it does is list the key areas of the system after a scan and you are able to delete any part of it. It's really good if you know exactly what you want to get rid of but it was too hard for me so I went back to AVG.

So far, no problems with my computer. I would like to know if AVG is affecting my computer speed though (maybe it does since it has realtime protection).
