As far as I can see, the track itself is not set up for proper HLVC detection. So infact, I think this IS a number of bugs... for the track.

More importantly, what motherboard brand and model do you have.....?

I saw this comin! Duck is like Bawbag's squeeky twoy

I saw a special on 60 minutes or something about UFC a couple nights ago... It was pretty good because it was talking about how people are paying higher to see UFC/MMA fights than boxing has EVER had. Event count, viewer count, etc... all higher and bigger events than boxing these days.

Also the boxing federation(?) are quite unhappy about it all, and they still think their sport is the purest of man-to-man combat. But I highly disagree, and even some professional boxers have the same opinion, and actually turned to supporting UFC.

Was a really interesting mini-documentary about it. Probably the last boxing match I ever watched was De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, which was boxing's biggest match in history (viewer count and revenue). That was nothing though, and best argument was from UFC founder saying something along the lines of "I am not going to pay to go see a fight where they hardly fight at all --- intead I'll see lots of fights in one night".

Friends of mine are big fans of UFC, I go watch it at their place. I don't watch it enough to know what fights really matter though.

Come on guys, chronic masturbation has to stop this new year!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from paddy_racer :

:ices_rofl its rather silly, don't know why ISI spend to much time on a drift addon.

not a drift fan but LFS 1 ISI 0

:rolleyes:

Stop being such an LFS punk....

ISI have been making a lot of little addons for the community. Some were even intended to be private (eg the Lexus one). I doubt this took them much 'time' either.

Still kind of a lame gift IMO.

Like the image files? Or are you talking about the default HUD color value?

Quote from Victor :

k done. Hover for tank capacity.

Thx Vic, that clears things up

Almost makes me want to have LFS show LITRES per LAP now... otherwise the statistic that I use ".0.43 L/lap" at SO Chicane Route /w FBM means nothing to me...

It really is 1.1% if you speak in LFS terms.

But I like that it is more concise and detailed now, nice job Vic.

Quote from Stew2000 :

unless you're a crazy person who thinks, eats and sleeps cars 24/7.

I do neither, and I think the font makes the car look like a Chinese knock-off. Otherwise, it looks fine.

But what's with that helmet? :doh:

YES, delete them.

I still have some incredibly PB times for some combos, and people ask me how it is even possible. They were VERY early S2 PB times, and nearly 2-3 seconds faster than the World Record, haha.

That goes to show how long some of my PBs have been standing, and I've never really deleted any of them.

At least keep the amount of laps driven statistic, but delete the PBs please, it is always nice to start with a new/fresh set of times to aim for. Afterall, we do love to improve our PBs don't we?

I don't understand why people are so frustrated with Patch Y. What is the problem with it? Everyone here posting threads about things they don't like being changed, and that Patch X was fine.... To be honest, I don't think there are HUGE differences from Patch X to Patch Y. Physics-wise, the driving feel and handling still feels the same, and only new shifting methods have been introduced. You'd need to get your head checked if you can't figure out how to shift the car properly.

Then all these complaints about the XRT being removed from the demo. BIG DEAL, what was so special about that car anyways? It isn't remarkably different from the XRG variant, it just has more power and turbo :rolleyes:. Granted it is a fun car to drive, the devs still need to demonstrate a racecar (something with slick tyres) in the demo. For all the drifters out there, you might as well buy S2 for a change... after playing on demo for nearly 4 straight years :doh:. Probably all of you are clearly capable of having some cash in your pocket to buy stuff... otherwise how on earth do you stay alive?

There are loads of other fixes and improvements. But for some reason people are viewing them as a step in the wrong direction. While we have to get used to some changes, the game is still LIVE FOR SPEED, and it didn't suddenly change into some piece of junk you need to scream about.

I think all the hard work Scawen has put into this patch is definitely something to reward him for. I think if Eric could have had the new interiors done for Patch Y that would shut you all up... however there are still good changes from him in this patch, and that is enough to be happy about for a gift from the devs. Or else you sound like a kid that didn't get his Nintendo for X-Mas... so go cry and mope under your pillow, don't come on here and expect to be playing Patch X again.

If there are things that have a common agreement for change, then it will probably be fixed later. This isn't the end of the world,.

Get used to it. Happy Holidays.

Yes, and just about every other thing these "Design" Dudes can churn out is NOT their design work. Just fancy layering of images. Personally I am surprised he is getting votes for 'best skinner' :rolleyes: Sigh.

I don't think he is talking about at the start of the race. It is for everything else though.

I'd prefer to have the ignition be improved first before a suggestion like this is implemented.

Quote from Klutch :

I'm getting 1.17-1.18 with G25 set on 900 degrees..
Only just got it yesterday, so i guess i still need to get use to it.

You don't need to use 900 degrees for the FBM.

Read what the steering degrees is in the game (garage), then set LFS to use that steering amount, and set it in Windows too.

Highest any car goes in LFS is 720 degrees (road cars). 900 way too much, and you'll only be slower, especially in the FBM.

That is because your post isn't long enough to fit the whole area that the profile info (on the left) takes up. If you didn't have an avatar, you wouldn't have as much empty space.

It has always been like this..............

Example:

THE SPACES

(an example of a short post is like my first reply in this thread above)

what space? Don't see it in your picture either

Quote from JTbo :

So you mean you put it between door and door frame so that oven is bit open? European oven doors have hinge mechanism that allows this without towel, or used to have before safety department did run over things

Ehhh. I can't believe I made this so confusing..... Here is simple explanation:

Open oven door.... it now lays flat. Lay towel on door covering the glass. As you take your food out, the towel prevents from any moisture dripping down directly onto the glass.

All to do with sudden change in temperature of the glass from expansion (thermal shock). Never thought I'd be talking about ovens here, I give up.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Eh? I worked as a (pretty crap) chef for a few years, in lots of restaurants (more than most chefs, because I often didn't last more than two months in any given kitchen), and I never saw an oven with glass parts.

I hung towels on the oven doors so I'd have a dry towel handy for taking hot things out of it.

No no, putting the towel over the inside of the door when you pull it down. Just something I've been taught when you have food that is dripping with moisture as you pull it out --over the door-- to cool.

I knew someone that had this happen to him. He said a few days before it happened, he remembers when he tried to close the oven door, some of the cooking trays he keeps inside it for storage (big metal ones) had hit the glass really hard. Because the door is sort of on a notchy hinge like a car door, it wasn't easy for him to control the door hitting it. In any case, he thinks he damaged it a little bit and when it was hot from baking at a very high temp, closing the door caused the glass to shatter.

Most modern day ovens have a small mesh in them now though, so I don't think this happens to people with newer ovens. You should at least always have such appliances with this mesh.

Once safety glass is damaged, it can shatter really easily. Or even moisture dripping onto the glass can cause it to shatter when it is at high temp (this is why chefs put towels over the oven door).

Probably the nicest FBM team skin I've seen so far, VERY NICE Cyber

You their skinner Mogster? nj

Perhaps it is just some sticky old Coke from when you opened the can too fast? :munching_

But yeh, lets see some pics.

The sound of the tires is still a joke IMO, and i still don't expect very much from the physics... but nevertheless, interesting!

I agree, the sound of the tires is something I've never liked. Not only that, but the sound of the cars are not what I have liked for a long time in GT games.... they never sound like the real car. The Nissan Z does NOT sound like it does in this video. And just like pretty much every other car in their games....

Still no skidmarks, and car is uber in control even on jumps

Looks amazingly nice though, I could mistake that for a real video at first glance.
