Thats why the dev's have the unlocking system you know? So demo racers get the demo content to test out the cars and the sim itself. Before deciding to go purchase the sim. You are stealing the dev's hard work for free, its just not nice. They arn't some big corporate company like microsoft, just 3 guys making this.

Should give him a dunce hat and tell him to go sit in a corner. Gremlin, you do know they log ip addresses on this forum, and you do know cracking is illegal and can result in being prosecuted? 
illepall Just leave it to the dev's sure it won't be long till the inevitable happens.

admitting you got it cracked on the lfs forums is somewhat...
I'm lost for words lol. And why in gods name did you buy NKPro over LFS seriously? :S

^^ what he said.
If your that bothered by the rear wheel spins, just make your first gear longer. I would advise a 1.400 around that mark for a non wheelspinning setup. However, the final drive ratio will make a difference as well, i'd advise about 4.100+ wouldn't go over the .2 mark though.
Lap times will be affected greatly, so if i'm being perfectly honest, just stick with the burn out. And try to get used to it, however even on the most touchiest of setups i haven't had the rear wheels spinning at 20% throttle Or anywhere near that mark, about 50% i get wheelspin.
Also, the autoclutch in all honesty is somewhat primitive. wack your foot down and the clutch just lets up (do that in a car IRL with enuf revs and ur gonna wheelspin like crazy). Lots of contributing factors, but the patch is going to address the majority of the issues.
Stick with the FOX as well till you gain your bearings and if you want more of a challenge give the v8 a try (or soon to be F1
)

"But who needs a minute in blackwood"
Its almost like they are saying why do we need to use blackwood, i have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps another track for the new F1 might appear. Of course this is massive speculation so don't hold me to it
Gotta say a F1 on the oval is gonna be an absolute blast.

I don't get the facination of dumpvalves, but this dumpvalve thing wouldn't fool anyone unless they knew nothing about cars. Kinda pointless :S
You could see how long it was taking that car to speed up, no high pitched turbo whine (tht will give it a way straight away to anyone who knows their cars)....
I gotta say this has to take the topping of the cake for most useless things for cars :S

This is a problem with lfs's ban system, most people see the ban and just think hmmm...lets press 1. Without even the diddliest of clues what has actually happened. Nothing ya can do about it, but its only a 12 hr ban so u shud b able to return
Nothing ya can do about it, but its only a 12 hr ban so u shud b able to return hehe, there are only a few who use my setup, the rest say its uncontrollable. But for me, i can use it in any situation that arises, and its perfectly stable.
Mine is different from rest, shorter first gear, tire pressure on left side (due to some limiting factors of LFS, the staggar and weight bias to be precise. Though this has already popped up in the improvements section and hopefully the devs will take it into account. *fingers crossed*
).
Just shows how important a certain setup is to a particular driver
Have fun on the oval

hehe, promptly broken by that eagle guy tho 36.21.
36.21.I would advise joining the FM oval junkies server, quite a few teams drive on there, and there is no harm in asking
@ Drew, FM used to be just a oval team, but everyone has pretty much moved onto other tracks as well. But the team still holds drivers who are still dedicated to the oval.
Good luck finding a team

hmm....I really don't know where you came to this conclusion?
It was a simple case of asking a question that hasn't been put forward yet...but nevermind.I must say, looks like the benefits of this chip at the moment are somewhat limited (bit of an understatement). Perhaps next mainstream thing who knows? I look forward to what the next coming years with the various games that come out that support this technology. Would be highly interested in racing titles, but don't think none of these will touch on LFS however

No problem here, 84.21 drivers with a 6600GT.
hmmm....that thread just goes in depth into the uses, and how it could be used in LFS, its expense and so on. What i'm really looking for is the general opinion on the benefits for LFS with this chip (lets say if scawen was to code the SDK into LFS), if there are any at all....Would it be worth coding every nick and cranny of the world into lfs? :S

PhysX (Physics Processing Unit)
Well, while browsing the internet for elder scrolls oblivion stuff, i came across a card coming out from a company called ageia. Its a card dedicated to physics processing and it looks pretty awesome.
http://physx.ageia.com/
At the moment it is fairly small but i wonder in the next couple of years whether or not it will be taken up by game developers and so on.
Now the question i purpose is the benefit of such a card with the physics of LFS? According to a review, it takes an enormous load of the CPU (this in turn can be turned over to stuff like AI etc). It also boasts 2 terabits of bandwidth. I also wonder just how real the physics may become with a dedicated chip for physics alone.
Review:

It certainly looks promising, have a look

This is down to old GFX drivers, i had the exact same problem myself. I happened to be running 66.76 drivers and LFS really didn't like it. Download the latest GFX drivers for your card and the problem should go away.
However alt-tabbing doesn't work well with LFS's netcode so try keep to shift-f4.

The key to a good start with the F08 is burning out, unless you've got very good clutch control. If you can control the burnout on a FO8 you can get away really quick, for example on oval, when i burnout i can get a time of 19.54 as the start, pretty much with the opposition far behind and barely seeable in the mirrors.
What i do is burnout till i hit about 40-45mph, usually at this point my rear tires have hit the optimum temperature, let off the gas to stop the wheel spin. Then put my foot down again. Same technique seems to work well with the FOX too, not sure about other cars.

Bump drafting on LFS is incredibly dependant upon ping, when i bump draft with drivers from Germany and around europe i can generally get away with it, but with drivers from the USA its pretty much a big no no, crash without fail. :P
Bump drafting is pretty much the only way you can get 34.xx times on the oval, closest ive had in normal two car draft is a 35.06, though if you get really lucky might be someone in front to grab that extra bit of draft and get into the 34.xx's. Know a couple of people who have 34.60's on oval using bump drafting :o
And i must say if anyone wacked on their brakes on a oval when i was trying to bump draft them on my team's server they wouldn't stay on the server for much longer than 5 secs, time it takes me to kick and ban. Its probally one of the most dangerous things one can do and would most likely take out more than half the pack. But thankfully haven't had it once...yet.

the calipers can be painted i believe, from what i know i don't think this has been modelled into LFS yet, also video editing tricks can be used. I've also seen some pretty amazing edit jobs on photos showing weather in LFS
The driving in the 8 lap is absolutely dire at the best of times mate, these rules are simply their to keep people from crashing nothing else. It works to a certain degree, I can guarantee if the no high pass rule wasn't there, crashes would be a lot more frequent. The FO8's turning circle just isn't sufficient tbh.
hehe scarysquirrel, i must apologise myself but i believe strongly in that oval does take a fair bit of skill to run. I have a momo and i absolutely love it Have fun with it mate.

Have fun with it mate.Your assuming a lot of things, i have never ONCE said that all the best drivers are found on the oval. And bump drafting? Yeah it came from nascar...but doesn't mean we're adopting their rules does it? I really like nascar as well, but i like a bit of law and order on a server to try and keep crashes down, and all i can say is our rule system works VERY well. And as it works so good we're going to keep to it.
If i had given the same devotion and dedication of 5 months to a circuit track i'm sure i'd be bloody good at it. All i'm trying to get at is oval ISNT easy, and is far from it. If you consider 35.xx times good, fine, believe it. Being truely good at a track is when you are pushing the last .02 of a second out of it.
Oh and arrogance has a lot to do with this topic....

Actually the majority of us are doing circuit races, and are getting fairly competent at this. I didn't imply it was nascar i was saying that you were comparing our rules to nascar and is simply irrelevant. Super low 35's are easy.
At any rate, fine have your opinion but its simply a load of high class bs of the highest standards possible....I could be a moron and say circuit racing is easy, but i won't lower myself to your levels as i do have a bit of dignity.

LMFAO...sorry....
Doesnt take much to be good there? rofl, though i believe your definition of good deviates massively from mine. And i must remind you that this isnt nascar and never will be, the blue flag IS there on the game. If you want nascar rules go play Nascar 2003 or w/e. I don't recall f3000's being part of nascar or is it just me?
35.xx times are considered bad now and quite a few of us are hitting 34.xx and this is with loads of practice. i can get 35.xx times with one draft pass, too easy to hit, and nothing special, this is generally considered a poor time, 34.xx times with two cars however is special and i truely doubt any of you who are moaning about oval being bad could ever hit it. Perhaps rather than moaning about oval being shit, have a stab at hitting a 34.xx with a draft partner? Then we shall see if hitting that 34.xx is so easy and takes 3 hours of oval practice to hit it.
A new trend of drafting that is coming into use now is bump drafting, and this takes a huge amount of skill to be able to keep the car pushing straight and not skidding off.
This is turning into a battle of whats better, and arrogance is starting to show which is a real shame.

I'd have to agree with you a stagger and weight bias would be a lovely addition to the setup menu (*cough* devs ) I've reduced the tire pressure on the inside tires with my setup, this helps a bit. A stagger would be brilliant.
Only when i race 150 laps does it feel like a bloody good race, but i would like more, there has been 500 lap oval events hosted but i havent attended them. Oval's are brilliant tracks for endurance, and this is another aspect i love about the oval.

This made me laugh
In a real life situation drafting with a lead lapper after 3 laps results in a disqualification (aka the blue flag), Though i do have a few moans at the blue flag system on LFS :o . And passing on the right is not only probally one of the most useless passes one can do, but generally no-one expects a right pass and is dangerous.But we keep these rules on the server for a bloody good race, i couldn't even imagine what it'd be like with no rules :| My god....
