And kicked his Ass last night!

Quote from Shotglass :

rubbish
the test is fixed to run at exactly 2 fps

Huh?

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

So basically, you don't want to let go of the gas when you shift gears? Are you that lazy?

Yeah! Why should He have to be the only one to lift off the gas when shifting!?!

... oh wait... we all do

At some point, LFS should get a "drift" car. Sure, maybe 2-3 so they can have a class.

But for now, as LFS is an online racing sim, it needs a lot of other more pressing things.

After all this time I'm in a little bit of dis-belief there is no RWD mGTR or LMP class.

Anywho, yes at some point is my answer, but my vote is no for now

That looks to be far too small to have a full-blown rat in it. Possibly a mouse.

Haphazzard guess - fan rattle.

I'm a HVAC design mechanical engineer, so i'd be pretty interested to see if you find out what it actually is.

Never used the DFP, but I can't say my G25 makes much noise at all.

Anyway, hope you find your answer, good luck

Looks pretty good, but I *think that might be a bit high price for the 8600gt. The 8800gt 256mb would be worlds better if you could go that route. I mean litereally like 2-4 times as powerfull as that 8600.

RAM -> You should look for some DDR2-800 which is PC2-6400. Jakg might recommend some RAM for you, but that looks good.

Your Mobo should be fine for SATA 2/3.

Are you planning to OC? If so you should be able to hit 3.0+ GHz very easily and safely.

As of now, there are 23,331 forum members. Assuming that the majority are unique users (there are many LFS members who aren't forum members), there should be about 64 forum members with Christmas B-days.

Happy B-day/Christmas guys!

Quote from superslider :

freeloaders.....wow thanks

its a shame about the xrt
thanks scawen

What do you want to be called?

The demo is Not being used as a demonstration of LFS, it's being used as a full game in itself.

If you consider it a shame at all, then you'd find a way to buy the game you like so much.

Quote from Maelstrom :

As long as it would remain optional I don't disagree on principal but re-drawing the road cars interiors would take a lot of Eric's time.
I would prefer him to work on new cars or new tracks instead of doing this.

The topic is not a bad idea. But I agree with Maelstrom, IIRC the new interiors were "almost done" last december...

Quote from Jakg :

P5K-E is fine, Premium has NO extra features you'll ever use.

The CPU test ALWAYS gives a low FPS, even on my Quad Core (...@ 3 GHz) i barely get 1 FPS. It doesn't mean your CPU sucks.

The biggest issue is the fact your getting LESS FPS with this card than the old 6600GT - have you turned any settings up? vSync?

8800GT MUST use the very latest drivers (169.25's i think) to get the best performance, as it's such a new card.

I'm kind of surprised in the almost 2 years 06 has been out that the cpu test is still demanding to the level that the top home cpu's are only getting 1-2 fps. But when you take in account how demanding high-quality rendering is .

p35c-ds3l has been getting a lot of sucessful oc's too.

Good luck, merry Christmas!

You need a good air cooler for that Q6600. Its a hot chip, but the rest of your rig seem nice enough to clock it to 3.2-3.6 fairly easily.

Very nice setup though


edit -> is your ram in dual channel? I can't tell from your pics but you want to make sure they're in the right slots.

Quote from Gunn :

Looks like fun, LFS could maybe have something like this one day?

Was good, but could anyone deny that they got absolutely giddy watching Patrick Snijers in that E30 M3 around Isle of Man? Imagining that in a LFS just would be nuts.

Twould be good fun to have a course to "duel" on though.

Quote from amp88 :

Cheers, Merry Christmas to you too. Sadly I've only ordered it so I won't get it until Friday or Monday

Ah well, at least no matter what else you got today, you know what you really want is already on the way. Please let us know how it is, and how lfs plays at that resolution

I think it'd be awesome if you took the role of Driver A and had a girl (or someone with a significantly different voice) play the role of Driver B.

Great work on the series.

I would say that Driver A was a bit aggressive, he couldn't have know exactly how much overlap B had. B shoud've lifted out though.

Quote from ebola :

I think something is wrong there

What? I see nothing wrong... :hide:

TY... Merry Christmas

Merry Xmas a day early! Hope you love it!

Quote from Dudin :

But new players will never know what drift in LFS is. And the Drift comunity in this game is very very powerfull.

hahaha. How "powerfull" is our drift community? Obviously not powerfull enough to keep the xrt in the demo...

Quote from Dudin :

drift with XRG... I expected someone like you btw more than 1/3 demo servers was drift....

Right, and that 1/3+ of the servers were destroying the perception of potential S2 racers as to what LFS really is. A racing simulator.

Quote from Victor :

Awesome! Pretty powerfull car for 1rst trackday! Hope you loved it!

Quote from Humbleridderen :

Therefore I would suggest that there should be options to play/drive with different levels of simulaton both for the drivers and for the servers.

"You can't please all the people all the time" - unknown

If Scavier started to cater to people who want different things than their vision (i.e. 'dumb' physics, etc) than the project could very well become muddled. There would be so much time wasted in debating what the drifters need/want vs what the cruisers want that it would affect the development of the racing sim negatively.

What we can look forward to is the day after LFS has run its course and Scavier can sell the physics engine out. Then (perhaps) various types of racing games can enjoy the basic car physics that are easily some of the best in the world.

Quote from [RF]-art555 :

are you sure you've unchecked the box "Report pedal -combined" in the controllers settings?

Double check this please and post a screenshot of your profiler settings and your in-game controller settings.

No this is great!

Quote from JO53PHS :

You know the PS3 games are on blu - ray...

What happens if I put one in the blu-ray drive in my computer?

Same thing that happens if you put a ps2 dvd in your pc's dvd drive... very little...

actually some of the blue ray movies were supposed to have ps3 demo's on them, so who knows if anything special will happen.

Wow... that is a sweet score and a sweet OC. Your mobo and ram timings are just outstanding.

I need to man up and find what my e6750 and 8800gt can really do, but its so easy to run at 3.2 with my ram 1:1...

I can not pay for a Ferarri, FERARRI SUCKS

Got to love the demo logic...
