Vrc

[mustanglover]

i seen this in my rc action magazine that came in the mail today, its one of them virtual rc games and you can download a demo for free at virtualrc.com . You can drift, circuit, ect...... and you can jump yours cars.
i think it pretty cool, just wanted to see what you guys would think.

But in the demo some stuff is not included..... :(

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Im going to do it.

[Nocten]

This one looks pretty cool, I'm in the process of downloading it/trying it out so I'll tell yall how it is.
I actually saw something like this on an unmetioned forum but the free trial was gunna take like 30mins and I couldn't be a$$ed waiting up as it was quite late. The one I saw a while ago also looked like it would get quite repetitive after a while so we'll see how this one is :bigwink:

[xmodkidd33]

I'll try it after I'm done making custom Guitar Hero songs. :D

[mustanglover]

some peoples might need some updated graphic cards!
me drifting right now on high revolution, i might buy this! ITS FUN I WAS GOING 70MPH AND RAN RIGHT INTO A WALL (darkenblades)

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Yeah i am playing it too.

[mustanglover]

get the 1/8 with picco motor and you can make a car set up its crazy. i can change it to a top exhaust, soft ,hard ,medium springs , tire settings, and a bunch more.

[Stampedekid]

I downloaded it a few months ago. How do you play without the controller?

EDIT: Did you also hear about the concept for VRC Off-Road?

[Nocten]

yeah that game is amazing! I've only found it on one place so far for £40 odd which is waaay to steep imo, anyone know where to get it cheaper? Oh and any offroading in it?? :D

[xmodificationer]

downloading

[Stampedekid]

Ok I installed it, now where is it? I can't find it anywhere on my PC

[mustanglover]

use the directional keys.
XMR: go to your start menu and go to programs and look for it in there.

[xmodificationer]

you download the one that says demo installation right?

[mustanglover]

right when you go to the home page click on the picture link, and download that.

[xmodificationer]

omg I cant play it!

[Stampedekid]

Nope, still can not find it!

[mustanglover]

that sucks.... ummm try going to your hard drive, then go to programs then look and see if VRC is in your hard drive.

that sucks
and i just got done tuning a awesome track car, it can take corners going so fast!

[xmodificationer]

Man I Am ****ed I Cant Play!!!!

[Stampedekid]

Nope, not there either.

[mustanglover]

you may need to redownload it and set it to save and not to run program that could be a problem, and have it save to your hard drive.

and my best lap record is 6.2 seconds

[lilskipro587]

I used to play this a few years back. It is fun but also challenging. The engine noise gets really obnoxious pretty quick and circles are boring too. It's neat that it is RC but as a racing game it just doesn't compare.

[Stampedekid]

ML, I found it on my comp....but it kept on popping up random things that said stuff about it not being able to run. They kept on coming and coming, so I shut down my laptop. Oh well..

[mustanglover]

you may need a computer with ATI products.

[xmodificationer]

Not nesisarily ATI. you can use GeForce, etc. like it says. Im trying to convince my dad to get me a new Graphics card.

[mustanglover]

if you want something reliable you are looking around 100-130.
my family's laptop now has all the bells and whistles.
but ATI programs and cards ect are a important part if iam not wrong? it just doesn't have to be ATI though.

[lilskipro587]

ATI and nVidia are just like Intel and AMD they both have their own strengths and weaknesses and it all comes down to personal preference. Personally, I am a nVidia guy. Its what I've always had, never had an issue with and generally they look to be more compatible and run smoother. Right now I have a GeForce 8400GS with 512mb onboard memory. It is a fairly good card and will run almost anything out there. But, just because you have a good card doesn't mean you aren't creating a bottleneck. What I mean by this is a great video card that's performance is being hindered by low amounts of RAM or a slow CPU. So do you homework before buying a card and who knows it may just be your computer.

[mustanglover]

ATI is pretty nice, on nvidia do you have the control panel where you can adjust how your graphics work to make them more better quality ect..? and this laptop runs a ADM athlon 64X2. with a dual-core processor TK-53, 796 MHz, 896 MB of ram. but this computer was sold to us for gaming. We have all of the best ATI setups ect...
the laptop is a Dell inspiron 1501, bought for 500$

[xmodificationer]

All the bells and whistles? My cousins Laptop has so much crap in it its unbelievable. It is super quick, has like a 300 dollar graphics card, sound card, etc. Its made for gaming. It freaking insane on how smooth and how great of a picture it has. Its pretty much custom built from scratch. Bryce Ive seen your laptop, its not that well for gaming it seems.

[mustanglover]

lol, dude you only seen the outside of my laptop you don't know what the guy has in it so i would not judge, the guys dad is a computer junkie, he put about 700$ into this computer, but his cars tranny failed so he sold it to us, so yea dont judge stuff from its outside preferences.

[xmodificationer]

ok. But still its nothing compared to my cousins lol

[mustanglover]

still not as good as bill gates computer lol.

[xmodificationer]

True, lol it would be funny if he had a mac.

[lilskipro587]

All those posts were worthless. And yes, nVidia has a control panel for all those settings plus overclock programs made by nVidia. By the way a 700-some mhz processor 64 X2 or not isn't going to get you very far. I have a 2.6ghz AMD Athlon 64 X2 and 2gb of ram. That laptop is in no means made for gaming. It sounds to me like it is just a general laptop. I'm sure it doesn't have an issue playing VRC but it cannot be classified as a gaming pc.

[mustanglover]

it works with LFS very well.
my bad its 1.59 GHz

[lilskipro587]

Take a screen shot of you driving a car in LFS for me would ya? I'm interested in what kind of frame rate it pulls.

[mustanglover]

ok i will, i got a shot of the properties.

[xmodificationer]

[lilskipro587]

I'll do one too seeing you are. I guess I'm overclocked to 2.48 instead of 2.59 thats okay, I could go to it if I wanted but I won't.

And my LFS one.

[mustanglover]

well iam running a lap top thats a desktop because you laptop is all messed up from some kid....... when you come over bring it and i can reinstall windows, but get a website blocker for your brother when we get it fixed ok.

[xmodificationer]

lilpro does my computer suck?


lol ok bryce.

[lilskipro587]

lilpro does my computer suck?


lol ok bryce.

No, it doesn't suck. It is pretty good for a laptop. Sempron's weren't the best cpu's when they came out but they get the job done for regular computer uses and light gaming.

[mustanglover]

so mine sucks?

[lilskipro587]

so mine sucks?

I did not say that. I just said it is no way a gaming computer/laptop and you shouldn't advertise it as one. It is fine for doing regular things but in no way good for gaming.

[xmodificationer]

mine is a desktop....

[mustanglover]

here seems good....

[Stampedekid]

Hey lilskipro, is my laptop any good? I don't know much about the internal part of my computer or stuff about it. Someone should start a computer discussion thread.
I made the background up on Photoshop

XMR1 I can tell you that its not that great. Mines a little better. You don't have much RAM and low MHZ so not much speed and efficiency there.

[mustanglover]

you talking to me or XMR? in the second part.

[Stampedekid]

you talking to me or XMR? in the second part.

Most likely me. Mustanglover, that is a clear picture of the car in LFS.

[lilskipro587]

That is part of a replay or video of LFS. Plus the clarity is only dictated by settings. It is how many frames per second her gets while at those settings. Last I saw he got about 54 or 55 fps. Thats average. They put a cap on the game at 90 fps but you can turn it off and I now get about 150 fps

[mustanglover]

that indy car is the starting video the red car is my car, so idk...
