Packs a torch and a cut lunch and goes hunting down the archive vault for an old version of LFS with the LX8.
ME WANTS stupid overpowered machine.
So make that a +7

Just another addition to my small collection of guitars.
Which means I now need to add another wall to my studio, to hang them when not playing them.
Actually a birthday present, lucky me huh?
Oh, and I ordered a complete new set of radiator hose housings for my car, including thermostat housings, first warm day of the year and the damned thing overheats on me, typical. Now just got to wait for pension day to actually afford to pay for them.

Looking at my ancient eBest wheel set with dead shifter and pedal box I've repaired so many times there isn't much original left of it.
Ex serviceman pensioner, so a new Logitech is out of my price range, hell they cost more than my 25 year old Holden did.
PM me if you want to chat further please Fun. I'm in Sth Aust and more than willing to pay postage and even throw a few bucks your way if you want.

Chris

Hmmmm, FRONT? wheel drive?
Just as well there are no plans to actually try to sell it.
All attempts at front wheel drive for motorcycles at least have been utter disasters, I can't see a bicycle being any different other than you will crash slower, very bad juju designs.
Good try though Ford, but stick to cars I think,

Well done young Andy
And, that's one hell of a pretty little car you have there too.
A make and model we have never seen here down under.

I spent about half my working life at sea as a ships engineer, most the rest of the time I worked in industrial engineering.
Also spent about 35 years as a volunteer in my local fire and rescue brigade.
Spent quite a few years doing laps around various speedway and bitumen racetracks on sidecars and in sedans, flew aerobatic aircraft for a while.
Quite happily retired now and enjoying spending time with my wife, pottering around in my garden and playing guitar and singing at local clubs.
Oh, and trying to shave that last half second off my LFS laptimes.

Corny, I found the Racebuddy pages, so that's a start, will see if it lets me watch the next Sprint Cup meeting.
Crosses all extremity digits and hopes to watch "our boy" Ambrose turn some laps.

@cris, actually many of us DO know exactly what a racing carreer is, considering that many of us here are actually motor racers in a place called REAL LIFE.
Shrugs and goes back to shaving that last half second off laptimes, lol.

As Eclipsed said, this is an online racing simulator, and there is a "carreer mode" to this simulator, it's called racing in an online league.
Don't mistake this simulator for something like Need for Speed or GTA etc
Spend the few bucks and buy a full license, join a racing league and see what we mean.

From your forum sig.
Kaseper, demo racer.
Yep sure, you have a Genuine S2 license,
Download the new 0.6b version and pay for a license, and you'd be amazed at how much more you can do.
I set the linearity a up a little to 1.5, that seems to have fixed it with my Thrustmaster wheel. Probably could still go a little higher but I find it's decent enough now.
TiJay
I liked the original version of Driver, haven't even tried 2 or 3 yet., I did find an old copy of Ratbag games World of Outlaws Sprintcars today, that's fun again too.
post your laptimes around Bathurst in the old XB coupe guys. I got a 2 minute 37 second lap last night.

I found the steering much better after I remapped the linear sensitivity, pays to increase the dead zone for the brakes a little too.
New and free [racing game]
Driving Speed 2/Pro/Lite
Might be one more for the Aussies, the basic game consists of 2 tracks, Bathurst and Adelaide, 5 cars, A9X or XB coupe and 3 more modern HSV cars.
The AI is top notch, the drivers can actually see your car and will brake and attempt to avoid you if you get into trouble.
There is also a multiplayer side to it, for online or LAN racing against your mates. BBQ, Beers and Bathurst, what more could you want?
Also has a Pro version huge cost of $9.95 US, appears to have those awesome V8 utes included.
Just installed the basic free version tonight, been having a ball around Bathurst in the XB Ford.
Wow, they even have a lite version for you ipad fans.

Reason : found more info
Uhuh, looks nice, except for one teeny thing.
Take a closer look at the floor carpet on the right hand side
No real big deal, can't see it when driving the car anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
I'll be using it anyway, it looks good.

Bob, nothing illegal in those packs.
Pack 1 is a few pics for in game screens with some new adds signs and some skins for XFG, one side of the car will look odd though, signwriting is reversed.:eye-poppi
Pack 2 has the same pics and skins folders with some music in .ogg format, not quite my type of music I might add.

Good with the bad, I'm afraid.
I got similar recently myself, from a guy who couldn't fiish a race himself.
Wasn't banned, merely griped at because he hit me several times after I spun from being hit from behind.
Got to learn to hit SHIFT-P fast enough to please some I guess.
In general though, I find most people on the race servers great blokes, and blokettes, drift and cruise servers I usually stay clear of, unless I want to spectate a little.

It looks like he has the look functions combined with steering axis.
Set that up in options\view, the settings you want are in the bottom block, second button from left "steer".
BTW, the small price asked for LFS is well worth it.

Looks like Graham hit a drainage ditch just before the railing, that appears to be what launched him over the rail.
Nothing like a little wet grass to get you right out of control, I've hit it a couple of times myself during my years as a speedway racer.
I did have one rather convenient crash years ago though, lost it on turn 4 entering the main straight, hit the grasss, then stopped against the side of one of the track ambulances.
IF you gotta crash, try and do it conveniently.

That is a pretty heavy duty machine for very few pennies.
I use a Xeon server running win server 2003 OS for another type of sim system,(OpenSimulator Virtual Reality system), rock solid performance, reliable as the proverbial Swiss Watch.
Never tried running one on Win 7 home edition, although it should be stable and not let you down, main point being, ALL Windows operating systems since XP have all been modified Win NT server OS at the heart anyway.
Try it, if it doesn't run LFS as a desktop machine, you still have one hell of a good server at a good price.

I wonder if Vista and 512 Mb of RAM just might have anything to do with his fps?

Nice clean hirez textures, keep at it I say.
Hmmm, it's a trade off really.
Years of real life speedway racing has taught me, the fastest way round is the shortest way round, however, this also makes the turns slightly tighter therefore slower.
Unless you are a machine like being, every lap will be slightly different, come out of corners slightly wider or tighter. It all affects the next corner entry and speeds.
I tend to hang high and enter the turns slightly later, then make the exits as long and smooth as I can, that sometimes makes the average speeds higher, but can bring in a bit of slide, especially the last turn entering the main straight at Kyoto. ( Pit speeding penalties for entering the pits backwards and totally out of control apply, lol)
