No "full-screen" anymore?
Tinytacohead
S2 licensed
Hi all, been away from the game for awhile and just got the latest version. I can't seem to get it to go to true fullscreen anymore. It's at my desktop resolution, (1680x1050), but I've still got my taskbar on the bottom and the window bar up top. Is there a new option I need to switch/that I'm failing to see?

As always, thanks in advance!

Quote from sgt.flippy :...And eventually, never mind, I'll never understand this "sport" I think. In racing you'd never need to know how close your rear missed something, since you shouldn't be going sideways. Guess my mind is just too much into racing to understand drifting..

I need slapped for possibly perpetuating this rediculous argument, but we established long ago, (in the drift vs. racing topic), that drifting isn't racing. That's not to put it down, at all, but the two are completely different motorsports. If it's not for you, no problemo. The end. (though I don't really know any racing fans that don't enjoy hanging something sideways from time to time!) My only personal problems with it are the idiots that attempt it in public, and the wannabe's who think it's racing. (which nisskid certainly isn't!) Personally I'm a grip guy, but love drifting in the snow and in certain games! (not LFS) If I had the budget to try it IRL I probably would, and there's no doubt the skills used could help in racing as well.

danthebangerboy - sorry to hear things didn't work out.

Quote from DHRammstein :I just picked up one of these... "Ford GT pic"

...For anyone familiar with the Geiger Ford GT, which I'm obsessed with, it has the most badass wheels available for the Ford GT. Very rare, I've ordered them along with tires, so my car will look EXACTLY like this in about a month>>>

Here's a nice view and 1/8 mile run of the Geiger, this will give a better view of what my GT will look like, it will be identical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4WJGQhFYhI...

Not a fan of the rims, but to each their own, and the car is SICK! Congrats on being able to get, and at age 28!!! Like everybody else, I'm jealous, LOL. Not sure who the heck races in a spot like that vid though, (completely unsafe for all involved), or why you'd even bother with the 8th in a car like that, but yea, not the subject..

Quote from nisskid :thanks man, theres a saying in the drift community: if ur not hitting stuff, ur not trying hard enough. ull never learn unless u push the limits.

Cool pics and vid man. What's the black car next to you in the very first pic, with the RX-7 rims?

Quote from Uke :hehe, wrong thread...

Look at the fz thread.

You know, I looked at that twice and was thinking, that's awful curvy for an XF skin, then even visualized an FZ in my head, but never actually thought about it.

Buy a Mazda. They don't use that goo, at least in their older cars. The sound deadening velcros out of all 3 of mine. (just got a 2nd Miata but can't fit it in my sig)

Quote from Jertje :As far as I know they took all the models with BC out of production.

Edit: Didn't see Dajmin's Wiki link, but yeah, no more BC models in production ;D

Thanks guys. That was a pretty dumb move by Sony, heh. Hopefully I can still find a 60Gb version later this summer..

Quote from Gills4life :I know that the 60GB PS3 is BC because I have one myself.

I'd heard the upper hard drive sized ones were, but somebodies post here made me wonder.. So are all 60/80Gb PS3's, BC?

Quote from jibber :You've just answered your own question without knowing...

BC = Backwards Compatibility

I have no idea how to determine which PS3 models have it, but i'm sure google would know the answer.

Gotcha, had just woke up and obviously wasn't thinking real well yet, haha. Before I have a chance to hit Google, anybody know for sure about the software update/BC?
Tinytacohead

So, for those of us who are PS3 n00b's, what's BC stand for and how do you ensure that you get a BC'able PS3? Also, as somebody stated, I thought there was a software update that made them all backwards compatible? I know, off-topic, but I gotta know before I get rid of my PS2 as well. (I'd rather my 3DO sit in that spot of my entertainment center - where the NFS franchise started, and before it was bastardized!)

Dude, you parked in my spot!! Yep, I'm in a wheelchair, and bought a 2nd Miata. Had her hauled up from FL so no rust & fresh suspension for 81k! No good pics yet, and this one's from before I got rid of the dealer sticker & crap like that. She's stock for now, except a Borla catback & generic tip. Hardtop comes off this week. (tried to add it to my sig, but apparently I'm already breaking forum rules - oops, lol)

It will definitely be the first title I buy after I get a PS3. Still waiting on the price to come down on the top version, as well as titles like GT5 to come out/the coding to be more pinned down. (GT was the sole reason I bought my PS2 at the time) I'm waiting for 40-50" 1080p plasma's to come down in price too, hehe. (reallly wanted to hit the Circuit City closeout on that one, but bought another car instead, lol) Like I think I said in a previous post.. the GT series definitely isn't "simulation", but it's the closest you'll come on a console, and definitely a blast IMO, especially for simple 2-player stuff with a friend, (who doesn't have a computer/setup that'll allow him to play PC stuff, and online). Been playin some GT4 again myself, working on beating it & doing some head to head stuff with said buddy. Something we've enjoyed from the beginning is building two different cars with very similiar, but realistic, specs, testing them for equality, then pitting them in like a 30-lap race, with tire wear. Being a 2-Miata owner, in real life, I'm all about the 2 hour Miata enduro as well. (running a lower powered edition with sport tires, so there's actually a little competition)

GRR-can't edit my sig to include both Miata's because it apprently already breaks sig-rules.

try searching the forum before you post

Thanks for the link, (I'll check it out next time I'm able), but not for being a wise ass. (see post #1)

It's got me confused because I had LFS working like butter on the same Nvidia drivers, then I decided to try the EVGA drivers out (LFS was fine there too), then I switched back to the same Nvidia stuff I had, and now I can't get AA in LFS. (which looks horrible, stretched across my new widescreen monitor )

nHancer stuff.. is it something I can do a basic uninstall on later if I don't want it anymore, without doing a full video card driver reinstall, and what setting was it specifically that fixed your issues in FS9? Personally, Nvidia 169.21 drivers are doing me fine in that game.
Antialiasing not working..

I'm having issues getting my AA to work after a video card driver change, though only in LFS. (no other games) I'm running an 8800GT 512MB and it doesn't seem to matter if I set AA on application controlled, enhance application, or override application. I've had this issue in LFS before but can't remember how I fixed it. (is there an AA setting inside the game somewhere I'm overlooking?) I'm running Nvidia drivers, version 169.21. Would anybody be so kind as to give me a hand, leaving out the "go search" suggestion? (no time and what I have searched found nothing) Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. Will definitely check out that setup thing. About the digital speedo.. I just noticed there're no more speed limit signs in the pits either, though there's still a speed limit. Am I missing something? That's of course what I used the digital speedo for, since the old limit was 49mph or whatever, which is a bit hard to see on most analogs.
can't find old setups after Y update?

I've been away for awhile again but had tons of working setups with patch X. I updated to Y last night and copied my old files over. Now I only have setups for the LX4 and LX6. Are that many setup files from the last patch incompatible with Y? I might just be overlooking something but I can't find the option to turn my speedometer gauge back to digital either.. Any help is appreciated. I've got limited time to get things straight and haven't found the answers yet via searching. :o

Quote from Boris Lozac :Ok, thanks guys, i will probably get one if i manage to sell my 15" oldie..
Btw is it too much/little to sell a 3 year old 15" LG 1520B LCD for 50 euros? It works perfectly fine.. http://www.megaopt.com.ua/images/item/18738.jpg

I'd keep it as a spare and/or monitor for any other system you might eventually put up - but that's me..

Stretching doesn't seem like it'd be that big an issue anyways, unless you were adamant about running full-screen. Seems like you could window and run whatever aspect/res works for you? Unfortunately I seem to be a "video-elitest" when it comes to other attributes of most LCD's.

LOVE IT! Any chances of an XFG variant? Also, if I were to use it I'd likely slap a number plate and a number on it at some point, if that were Ok?
