All Dicks here? Silly argument. I bet there's plenty of Gerges, Johnnys and Matts too around here!

PS. My opinion is better than yours

My post deleted as childish? Then what the heck is this thread all about?

Oh heck this announcement DID have an effect on me, my anus is bleeding. If we moan a bit more, maybe we'll have this tire with some shaders and such in 12 months.

Is there any vb.net sample codes?
C# samples work but I can't get the syntax working with vb.net (no events triggered and also shows no connection).


<?php 
  Dim LFSOut 
As OutSim
    
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgsHandles MyBase.Load
        Dim timeout 
As TimeSpan TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)
        
LFSOut = New OutSim(timeout)
        
AddHandler LFSOut.PacketReceivedAddressOf outsim_PacketReceived
        AddHandler LFSOut
.TimedOutAddressOf outsim_TimedOut
        LFSOut
.Connect("127.0.0.1"10001)
    
End Sub

    
Private Sub outsim_PacketReceived(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As OutSimEventArgs)
        
TextBox1.Text e.Accel.X
    End Sub

Quote from DEVIL 007 :
Its just I am frustrated how great title LFS was and where it got...

Hi, Devil! Long time no see

My stats seem to show:
Last race information: (19:41 - 03 Jun '09)

Have to agree that it got boring at some point. Not that I really care if it has just a few tracks and few fantasy cars as I mostly care about the driving physics and the feeling, but when nothing new was implemented to any of these areas, I just lost the interest and started waiting for updates, which then never came.

LFS is still THE driving game for me and I really dont enjoy other games that much. RBR is for rallying, LFS is for asphalt racing. I'm afraid that if I ever give iRacing a go, I'll lost all the interest that is left towards LFS...

This update that we all are waiting for is starting to get hype comparable to what GT5 got in console player communities and if it ever gets released, well... I'm afraid that it's not as mind blowingly huge advancement that most of us thinks/wants.

EDIT:
But thank you devs for the status update! Tho it was as good christmas present for me as pair of socks are for a ten year old boy.

Quote from ultrataco :I like watching Finnish rally drivers not only because they drive well, but I like listening to the navigator. If I was going to learn another language, Finnish would be one of my top five choices.

That's weird coz I thought that finnish would sound ridiculous to americans etc.
Then I also found out that this finnish band 'Turmion Kätilöt' (similar music as i.e. Rammstein, sung mostly in finnish) really has fans all over the world.

Quote from The Very End :Your saying something there, tho Flatout 2 isn`t a sim, it both has the best collision and car - contact feeling. I actually enjoy that game a lot, it`s a fine mix between arcade and sim.

Ditto, it's somehow so enjoyable, probably just becouse of all that fun of wrecking

Quote from ajp71 :LFS has the best car to car collision model I've ever seen in a sim, no other sim allows car to car contact in the same way.

Well that's not entirely true.. how about Flatout 2 ? (ok it's not a sim, but has fluent bumper in bumper online game)

But yes, lfs has one of the best too.

Quote from Lautsprecher[NOR] :I use the max quality D3D-profile that comes with ATT for most of my games. I just set up Game profiles so that the correct profile loads before tha game starts.

Yea but I meant that how to make common profile that can be started without linking it to a game. So that I don't have to make separate shortcut for every game/app.
It sounds quite stupid not to be able to start 3D profile without starting a game (own 3D profile, not those that comes with ATT).
Maybe I've just missed something...

40% fan speed is rather noisy on my sapphire 1900xt. 20% or bit below gives the silent operation that CCC used to do on desktop use.

For 3D profiles I use higher speeds.

Tried regclean with no luck. And as other apps work ok, I don't think it's registry or any other installation issue. But that's just me.

Quote from Lautsprecher[NOR] :Using ATT and making an LFS-profile fixes this. Looks to me like the driver is restarted with correct settings before the game's started.

Yea that's been told many times. Maybe I'm weirdo or lazy or something but I'd prefer to use CCC as it controls the fan in factory limits, now I'm afraid to choose too low rpms and then comes the noise, also I'm not sure if ATT shows the temps correctly or atleast they are higher than what CCC used to show as I recall. Now temps keep rising near 60 on desktop use with 2D clocks with noisy rpms (CCC used to keep it quiet and temps showed much lower)

Those damn GPU+mem waterblocks are too expensive still imo (in finland atleast).

EDIT. Please post your temp / rpm % tables so I could compare.

EDIT EDIT. Also, can I make a general 3D profile with ATT so I don't have to make separate shortcut for every game/app ?
Just a profile that rises clocks and puts AA and AF on.

Yeah, respond to that 1st answer you get (respond from ati site) becouse it's the usual bs to help newbies. Or maybe they start redirecting LFS AA related issues directly to Catalyst Crew if there's many same kind of problems.

I've had no problems with other games/apps, just with combination LFS & CCC.

Just got mail from ATI that says:
Quote :Solution:I have directed the feedback to the Catalyst Crew Team for investigation.



Nothing else..

Yea sure I responded, no such a quick reply back like the 1st one yet so maybe they atleast noticed it's not another newbie issue.

Nice quick reply from ATI but not so supprisingly, it wasn't any helpfull.
No matter how hard I tried to say that this is a common problem and only exists when using CCC.

Ati DD 7.4 have tried several older ones too, more or less same problem.
Have to report to Ati like you said..

Guess I just have to use AtiTool then. Don't like its profilesystem tho as there's no option to make profile that includes 3D settings & clock settings except game profile, and I don't want to make profile for every app I have.
I only would need a profile for 3D with high clocks and full AA & AF.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :guys please realize it that ALT-TAB might cause graphical issues for any card no matter NVIDIA or ATI.

Both compnaies claimed the ALT-TAB issue is somewhere in windows and this is not offficial way to get back to desktop so you might loose for example AA+AF.NVIDIA has this implemented better way.Back when I used ATI 8500 I had the same problems loosing AA+AF in LFS when I did ALT-TAB.I think this is more ATI drivers issue for a very long time then LFS issue.I dont want Scawen to spend ages just because there is also mess in ATI drivers.

Problem isn't the Alt-Tab, I have no AA even if I start the game normally. Alt-Tab sometimes did fix this problem, not anymore.

I would agree with Renku that these options should be in LFS.

So far I've managed to get it work using 16bit mode of the currect resolution (Alt tabbing, res changing, runtime restarting etc. etc. stopped working after last driver update)

I know Atitool is much better but last time I used it, I wasn't happy with its OC feature since it overclocked both 2D and 3D modes so that the card always ran the OC clocks *HOT* *HOT*.

But maybe there's the "3D mode OC only" feature included now?
