i just hate waiting 20min to race for 1-3 laps then have to drive by myself for another 17~ laps. i'm not down to 1:03's but i can still keep my car on the track and keep a decent pace. everyone else seems to be super fast or crash a lot... hopefully with time, this will change.

i'm not really liking the whole "sign up and wait 20min to race" system... hopefully there will be a CTRA-like system in the future, i really enjoy the ability to log on whenever and have people to race... besides that, the game has a great feel to it, the cars are a lot more unforgiving then LFS. I'm gonna be playing it for the next month until my CTRA ban is removed. 30 days for removing idiots that don't know how to click ready from the starting grid is a bit excessive

why does it cost 10.68 to ship a black three colour shirt when its only 5.34 to ship a value shirt?!

+1 to the track idea.

-1 to Ian for caring so much about what other people think. Times are changing, so are people. Get used to it and stop being such a sour puss.

you shouldn't have to delete anything with ventrilo, theres an option called "play key clicks", simply turn that off and it should end.

Quote from spookthehamster :IP addresses are a bad way to ban someone. My IP address changes whenever I connect to the internet, and if I use TOR, it'll be changing even more. What if someone else on my ISP gets banned and I get their IP address, so I can't play until I reconnect.

I only suggested this because with my past experiance, it was much harder to get a new IP. And if for some reason, the developers listened to what I said, and they put my system into the demo, I'm sure they would work something out for you.

Anyways, the other idea with the hardware ID would pretty much take care of buisness and I now fully support that idea. I want to see it implemented into the demo so people running demo servers don't have to go through what I did.

Quote from keiran :

Registering on the demo will never work. It should be easy to play to attract people to play it. If people want to wreck like iDi they'll just make mutiple accounts, what are you going to tie it to? E-mail addresses can be made in seconds for free.

Keiran

I'd tie it to their IP and an E-mail address. Even if both are changeable, there would be a lot of complications, and only a select few wreckers would be able to continue doing what they do best. But with regards to what filur said, I think that'd be the best solution. All we really need is something unique to stick to the players that won't change so they can be/stay banned.

Don't over do it though, you skip too many gears and it'll lock up the wheels

You might aswell go AM2, I don't think that theres much difference in the price. Just make sure that if you get DDR2-800 ram that it runs at 1.9v and not 2.1v. Most of the AM2 boards only support 1.9v.

You also have to remember that the setup you are using was probably made by pbu FOR pbu. I don't use my own setups, but I've found a few that suit my driving style a lot better, thus allowing for better lap times. You might want to try look around and see if you like other peoples sets. And yes, button clutch is faster.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before or what. I started getting tired of reading people yelling at one another.

Anyways, What could be done is exactly what the people at http://www.steambans.com did. Basically you can report a cheater and after review, they get added to a list. People on the list don't get to play on servers running the steambans mod. Where LFS doesn't nearly have the same amount of players as the cs/dod/etc, we could create a LFS:AC team (ac standing for anti-cheat). Simply anyone caught cheating on S2 servers, gets their account banned. Team could consist of trusted community members to take the load off the developers. And since you can pretty much instantly tell the difference between a cheater and a normal racer, I don't think it would be a very timely process. Only thing that would worry me is about the demo servers. The dev's would have to make it so you have to register before you can play on demo servers. And they would have to add some sort of anti-multiple account creation system aswell. Plus we could even use it to take care of idi and all the other wreckers out there.

But either way, that security loop should be dealt with first.

If you wanted to play games on high, you'd need a new video card. The 6600GT is a fast card, but it is limited by the amount of onboard ram it has. I have the same card and was considering upgrading, but I realized BF2 looks fine on medium ;P

for anyone still confused, you must manually add your LFS dir to the games list.

I've only heard good things about gateway, compaq, and sony. But you should consider getting a barebones laptop, asus makes some really good stuff aswell.
