But I don't think that just this fact does matter, as a part of the riddle..

Likely because they added the borders there?

Can't be true.. or can it? :cry:

Okay, working now

Well i don't like the idea - at least not with barriers. Maybe couple of tyres to ease us hosts work to observe if racers are following the "two wheels on track"-rule.

More info about this will pop up to the site tonight.

Thread is open, speak your mind

Yeah.. I got gradually faster and with some practice hoping to do flat 45s'.

Be carefull with timezones.. it's DST for most of us I think.

Thanks for fun & good racing ..and sorry about Bawbag

Anyway, here are the stats from the server I raced on (NASSA by 500Servers).

IRC Channel open in irc.gamesurge.net. Go to:

#OLFSL

Join us and vent off

I must agree with Vain about this. So far I've only experienced problems & lower performance with new set of drivers. Might be because I don't play the new games much - mostly just LFS

In the other hand a new catalyst version could have had an option to turn on that Transparency-AA?

Well.. we are changing to another webhotel in near future, which I believe will fix glitches like this.

Okay, problem solved. AndroidXP led me into right tracks.

I just had to do some registry editing (which I don't like much), because of my old catalyst version and lack of motivation to spend my system memory to control center Now the Transparency-AA is enabled, or at least the graphics are far more better

The site I found instructions to tweak registry is here:

Thanks for all help

Does the windows look like that without AF/FSAA?

Drivers may be just bugging. I have some issues with some games that FSAA/AF don't go on with certain combinations (e.g. 6xFSAA+2xAF). Dunno why, I have had this issue with several driver versions.

So far every combination produced the same "saw-wave" fenomina..

Quote from AndroidXP :

...To get them anti-aliased you have to use Transparency-AA, which is still quite buggy AFAIK.

Well, that's not a problem since I can't find an option to turn it on If it's even an gfx driver option?

Well.. it was just an idea - because I don't visit tech forum on regular basis and thought maybe I'm not the only one

I'll put this here too, if someone could help me

I don't know if the problem is in my eyes, memory or the GFX card, but I don't think the building in South City used to look like this?

The shot has been taken with my Radeon 9600 Pro drawing the scenery with 2xAA and 8xAF. I use Catalyst 5.11 drivers (tried 6.3 but it didn't do any good).


P.s. you can kick me if it's my memory...

Are you saying that I don't have the right to dissagree with you with out you getting upset. I sure hope not because that not my intentions.

No no no.. I didn't mean that at all. It might be because my english isn't that good, but I didn't mean to sound like I was upset - and I am not

Quote from nmanley :

NASCAR (all series of this), World Rally, IMSA GTP/GT, World Sports car, Indy 500. There are many and I totally understand the decesion as it has been explained in you last post.

I hope you didn't get me wrong with this.. I was just interested about what series do it like that. Sounds a little weird to me though - that one can score points without even finishing the race I assume the points are then reduced, like points * ( driven laps / total laps ) = total points. Or something like this ?

Quote from nmanley :

I have to dissagree with you on this and post #57. It happens in real life and it should happen here without penalty also.
Many real racing series give the drivers/teams the points for their placing no matter if they finish or not.

That would be good for Kimi, let's send this as an improvement suggestion. Give points also to racers & team that don't finish the race. What racing series are you talking about, by the way? I don't have knowledge about such...

Quote from nmanley :

There is a pit lane that you start from on this track and if you parked there you will not get work or fuel but you are out of the way of others racing. People who's systems cause lag will cause lag no matter where they are on the track.

Yes, there's a pit lane. No you can't pit in it. So it's no good for pitting right? It doesn't matter whatever you call it, if one can't get fuel / damage fixed there. And there are far more safer places to park your vehicle on that track than the main straight.

About the lag.. first thing is to separate lag issues (severe delays in connection) and low fps issues (frames per second). I don't know how much lag the parking could cause, but ppl with a bit older hardware could suffer from low fps. Have you ever tried playing LFS (or any other game in that matter) with rates as low as 10-16? If your answer is yes, you know that it really affect your performance - especially in fast paced city track like this and fast & small car like MRT. And that will cause danger to other racers too.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is justified to keep the track clear from wrecked vehicles.

Quote from nmanley :

Remember this is a simulator and game and the main goal is for pleasure. That said, it is also not the end of the world if it is just a bad race for someone and they get no points.

It's great to hear that you think it like this. However we are all individuals with opinions sometimes differering greatly from others. What I'm after here is that what is not end of the world for you, might be just it for someone else. We at OLFSL try our best to deliver fun for all, and that means we have to be open for all opinions.

That's correct.

In multiplayer mode?

Quote from Wakey :

Are you sure??? I thought it did repair the car aswell

Try it, it does not

Quote from Wakey :

Does that mean I can now push as hard as i want and not worry about crashing to much as I can always reset

Surely that can't be right ??????

Yeah, it surely is not. illepall

But isn't it nice to get more than 2 cars over the finish line too?

Given that there is no pit on South City Sprint Track 1, and taking into account the outcome of the tuneup races, the OLFSL staff hereby announces a special rule (deviation from standard rules) valid only for the races to be held on 19 March 2006.

Resetting your car will exceptionally be permitted during the race, but subject to special scrutiny and subject to penalties in case of misuse. (resetting is achieved by pressing the space bar - this is LFS' default setting)

If you need to reset your car, please carefully check whether no other cars are near or are approaching, by using the look features and by checking the map in the upper left corner.

In case a car reset causes disruption of another drivers' race, and a complaint is registered, the offending driver will lose all points from this event, and a further 100 points will be deducted from the offenders' season points. These exceptional penalties are introduced to prevent misuse of the exceptional reset allowance.

All other rules remain in full effect. Manual pitting is not allowed. Please pay particular attention to the rules on yellow and blue flags and relating to driving a heavily damaged car (even more relevant in the absence of a pit).

Well.. the site is up now. At least from my point of view
