Sounds like a corrupt windows installation to me...format, reinstall windows.

Quote from TehPaws3D :Wouldn't the suction come from the piston lowering? It should suck itself back up right?

LOL if there was no friction or gravity, or if it wasn't connected to a bunch of other cylinders which also have friction and gravity, then yea!

Quote from danthebangerboy :yet the inertia of the other 3 cylinders in their cycle will keep things moving.

So by your logic, an engine can never turn off?

Anyway, I stopped by to comment on how funny it was when TehPaws posted a car with a Canadian license plate! Not your car, TehPaws!

2003. I had a demo account named skyline_gtr, but I forgot about it and later created this one. Just recently I found out I had that other one from 2003 lol.

How do you plan on running CrossFire on AN NVIDIA CHIPSET??? It doesn't support it! Only AMD chipsets and the newer Intel chipsets support CrossFire.

Wow what a stupid place to put the northbridge... I'm glad you fixed your problem!

I'd love to see a picture of the inside of your computer, simulation.

This is getting way off topic...the question was how would you feel if the cars in LFS were real? We all know they're based off real cars, but they're not exact copies.

That's why I wish they'd just release something, even if it's not fully complete, I mean the game is still in "alpha" stage anyway, so what's the big deal? It would keep the community happy, and development can continue anyway.

You go to device manager, double click on a hardware device, go to the driver tab, and click the uninstall button. That will remove the driver for the device.

But I don't think there's any solution for this problem you're having, I don't think it's a driver issue. Reinstalling the drivers in a certain way will not unlock hidden possibilities in your computer that it didn't have before lol.

What I think is happening is the USB headset is simply hogging all the bandwidth for itself and interfering with the wheel, and if your motherboard has a shit USB controller, then this will happen. (I'm actually wondering if this would still happen on a new motherboard with USB 3.0 ports...) I would use a conventional headset rather than the USB one, because the USB one is so much more complicated, the sound has to go through the USB port, to the software, which then feeds it to the sound card (and vice versa). The regular headset is connected directly to the sound card, so it's completely independent of the USB ports. I honestly don't see any advantages to using a USB headset, other than the fact that it's easier to connect it to the PC.

I agree, every car which is moving should have physics calculations done for it, regardless of whether the engine is on or off. This can also remove possible exploits, for example if a player turns off their engine to avoid the laws of physics!

Yea that's a decent* system, but the core i3 cpu is really low end, I'd rather get a core i5. And the video card is the most important thing when it comes to gaming.

It's not the signal quality that's the problem, it's the data contained within that signal, it's not as good as the data contained within the signal from a dedicated card.

lol I have the same motherboard as you Bose, my SoundBlaster is in the PCI slot above the top video card. I think you should get a sound card first and see how it sounds. I don't know how the new PCIe x1 sound cards perform, I have an older PCI one but it's excellent. A good SoundBlaster is about $100 new, but I think it's worth it.

If it's quality you're after then you should get a dedicated sound card, like a SoundBlaster. It's not your speakers fault, onboard sound cards are the bare minimum when it comes to audio, I've always disabled mine and used SoundBlaster cards, and the quality is excellent. Not to mention that you'll get more fps in most games, since the sound processing is much better with a dedicated card (I have experienced this myself when I switched from onboard sound to a dedicated card).

Do you use your speakers with your PC or with something else?

I think the best Nvidia AGP video card is the Geforce 7800 or 7900, but maybe an nvidia fanboy might know of a better one. I'm more of an ATI person, so I can tell you the best ATI card is the Radeon 3850 or 4670 (depending on your needs). Keep in mind that all of these video cards need at least a 400W power supply.

AGP 8x cards will also work in 4x mode, so you can get any AGP card and it will work.

Note also that the green things covering the wheels are not attached to the body in any way.
