I dont think the patch will come out on the 22nd. How would they have a competition on the same day as the patch is released?? It would atleast have to be released on the 21st for Intel to get prepped

Quote from danowat :That set I posted had a bit more toe than it has now when I first got it, plus the front camber was way excessive so I dialed about 0.4 degs out of it.

Yes, it understeers a little, but I can live with that, and above 50mph its very stable.

The only times I found it would bite would be if you lock the rears underbraking by engine braking, trail braking doesnt do much favours either, or give it to much beans on corner exit.

Other than that feels really planted to the road to me, but it will bite no doubt about it if you drop your guard.

Dan,

i knew i remembered that name from somewhere. I was the one who gave you the setup. I also find it as a problem that the left front tire is burning hot. What toe-in did you change and was it 0.4 less camber on both front tires?

Quote from deggis :"We know that Scawen took time off after the release of S2 Alpha. What have you (Victor) AND ERIC been up to?"

The interview was intended for all of them but scawen and eric chose not to comment. Guess they're working hard

subscribe to the newsletter. If they are not sending out a newsletter it probably means that nothing new we dont already know about has been done.

I can make the game crash when I want to. Its the Audio option "Skid Volume Boost". Default its set to 2.0 but if I set it to 3.0 my gave will crash/lockup with 5 laps of a race.

Note to all: Do not fiddle with Skid Volume Boost

unless its only the case with my onboard soundcard on a MSI mobo with Intel chipset

Quote from gatorman :After a week of work I guess this is the first render that satisfies me. Still some things I want to tweak, though.

great floor material, is that standard or ?

If anyone figures out how to display the headlights please make a new thread as I cant make em appear. always blacked out like in your render

PSR_Diablo:

the guide says:
Car’s body is the object 019. To know its material’s ID, select one of its vertices (see chapter n°2) Thus, you’d be able to learn that the ID is n°14.

This means you have to press number 14 in the material editor before you do the stuff it says in the guide.

ignore this it says at the end:
Finally, move this new material into the the material’s ID n°14 (it’ll replace the old one)

It just doesnt make sense and works find if ignored

Been messing around with this for 2 days and this is what I can do so far

max refresh rate of my gfx card is 85hz and my monitor goes to 75hz

lfs is running in 1024x768 @ 72hz

Been racing ALL evening without lockups and disconnects.
I changed 2 things in my settings.

1. Changed skid boost from 3.0 to 2.0 (which is default i think)
2. changed my refresh rate from 75hz to 72hz (monitor is at 75hz on desktop)

Could it be the skid boost thats the bad guy?

tomorrow or sunday im going to do some test to see if its either skid boost or the refresh rate that messed up my Live for Speed.
rendering material id help

First time renderer here and following the wiki tutorial for easy practice.I have a question though as there is something I dont quite get.

In the add car skin section I do as it says, adding the skin and setting properties in maps etc. but in the end it says:

"Finally, move this new material into the the material’s ID n°14 (it’ll replace the old one) "

Where in the world do I do this?

tutorial is found here http://www.lfswiki.net/index.p ... Manual:3D_Render_Tutorial

EDIT:
ok finally figured it out. Had to add the skin and stuff in the same preview window and now it works

Ok MSN Messenger wasn't at fault. Been locking up even without MSN running

I can't figure out WHY this is happening. I've attatched a screenshot of what it looks like when it locksup and loops the sound. Nothing wrong in that picture

When I drive though I sometimes see some graphical error in the speedometer. Kinda like when you have an old version of directx or something where the textured are all spiked out. Also does this with the trees sometimes.

I also play:
Grand Prix Legends
GT Legends
Battlefield 2

and none of these games lock up or have graphical glitches? I've also set the apparture size in bios to 256mb which is max. Tried different graphics drivers and updated my onboard sound chipset drivers.

This is starting to bother me as I can't even finish a 5 lap sprint race

search is a wonderful thing

But it must mean theres a demand for it
dirt field

Like the parking lot I would like to see a dirt field. A big square of dirt where you could have fun. With the parking lot people have created mini ovals for uf1 banger racing and is also used for autox.
With a dirtfield people could create dirtovals, rally cross tracks, destruction derby tracks, banger racing tracks etc.

I think its MSN Messenger that hogs my cpu. In the process manager it sometimes says that msnmsg.exe uses 97% of my cpu power illepall

ok tested that setup for almost 2 hours now on Kyoto Ring National and I found it to be WAY too understeering in slow corners. What I did was lower it to 0.075 in the front and change the locked differential to a clutch pack lsd 20% / 60%.

Now that made it handle real nice. If it went understeering in corners just let up on the throttle a little and it would fall into line again
