Great that you have sorted it

Sorry I think I led you in the wrong direction to begin with, I don't know what I was thinking

Joko

every time you install a new patch you will need to say ALLOW again

try unlocking in a window (shift F4 in LFS)

Good luck

OK so LFS working, now can you race on demo dervers with no problems?

Is it possible that your computer is overheating or has some issues I see from your previous posts you had problems with LFS before, do you get any problems with any other games?

Have you tried playing just the demo without unlocking to check everything works ok?

are all your drivers up to date and your antivirus ect?

I think you may have some non LFS related problems with your PC to iron out.

install the new version to a different folder and then once you unlock your new version you can copy and paste the settings folder from your existing LFS install to your new LFS/data folder and all your setups will be restored.
Same with the skins folders.

Even if you install "over the top" the skins and settings will not be deleted unless you choose to do that manually.

Restart your PC then re download a fresh full copy of LFS.
Then try to unlock it should work fine.

He may have left the reset BIOS jumper in the "reset" position
also check he has the speaker plugged into the correct "front panel" pins.
Check memory (try with single stick)
Check the extra 12v 4pin plug is installed to mobo if required.
Dead CPU can sometimes also give this error
bad display cable


Good luck.

Quote from pik_d : And what is the actual reason for having a different .exe?

Maybe so they can data mine your PC?

I won't join up as I strongly disagree with the idea of installing a non legit LFS exe, I still haven't heard a reasonable explanation for the actual reason either.

Hi Jwardy
I take it you have followed the helpful instructions here and tried turning off devices one by one in device manager?

This should at least narrow it down a bit.

Good luck

Quote from Bmxtwins :this might be what you want,

you can also do it under shift+o > controls

I don't think that slider will do what the OP wants.

I think Whiskey is correct, its not possible atm in LFS.

Quote from TurboBlaster :I didnt read that he was driving a FXO while being a demo user. He just put the FXO as an example.

Yes, however he also said how he set up the ARB on the FXO

An explanation is in order

Pajkul have you considered the possibility that your steering input is too great this will quickly induce more under steer every time.

Maybe post a replay so we can see if your driving style is not smooth enough etc.


(IIRC I was taught that centripetal is a real and measurable force and can be accounted for externally to a given system, while centrifugal force is non existent and only describes the feeling you would experiance if you were inside the system.)

Quote from S14 DRIFT : I went into an Audi dealer, the V10 R8 was locked, asked if they could open it and said "they don't let children in!!!!" PAH.

LOL the Mercedes people are more relaxed when it comes to letting my kids play in the cars

This is with the engine running too! hehe


Mind you I did stress to them (the kids) that I didn't have 180K in my back pocket to pay for the car if they so much as scratched it lol

Quote from S14 DRIFT :RESIZE ZE PICTURES PLEASE!

Ahh how on earth did you get the key for it? I went into an Audi dealer, the V10 R8 was locked, asked if they could open it and said "they don't let children in!!!!" PAH.

My sister works for them and I do all the electrical maintenance at the local dealership so they are used to me walking around the "not open to the public" bits

Yikes sorry about the size uploaded straight from the iphone lol











Not sure if this counts as it was in the showroom

I managed to get the key to start it and rev the engine a bit, sounded so nice

a little out of my price range as it cost more than my house

Maybe you believe nobody would race on tracks similar to Rockingham after a few weeks, I believe different, as you seem to be a NFS fan then I think that says allot about your sim experience and what you expect from a track.
Some of us will spend hours, days or weeks training on the same config to shave off maybe 2 10ths per sector or to practice for a league event.
Remember its not about your perception of the quality of any particular track but more about the actual racing.
I have in the past spent months driving the same tracks like AS2 night after night in the FXO, RB4 and UFR, XFR "what a boring, simple track" you might say, but when you add in a field of 10 or 20 drivers all at very similar levels of competence then it becomes so much more.
Don’t worry about how "more better" things you want are, and buy S2 to try what we have already, but I better warn you its not NeedForSpeed... its way "more better"

Quote from TiJay :I keep seeing it at the gym but can't remember the band or the song. I thought it was Kings of Leon but it's not.

Proof that too much exercise damages your memory?

can you give any more details at all?
is this music video on MTV? how old does it look? is it recent 80s 90s etc?

maybe record a video of yourself singing the bits you know and upload that? hehe

GL finding the vid
