ROFL, I forgot how funny that video actually was, where is he now?

Where is it!? I'd completely forgotten about it, but I really wanna see it again.

Quote from Shotglass :

i think the problem here is that the background on the second pic looks darker and duller than the foreground which is actually in the shadow (the background darker than in the first pic which shouldnt be the case)

Thanks for the comments guys, I agree, it is a bit over the top, but I kinda liked the wow effect.

The background in the second picture is darker because it's actually not the same shot, the second shot is actually a mix of 3 different photos, one correctly exposed, one taken at one stop under, and one taken at one stop over.

I do like the HDRI effect, but that is a bit much.

ROFL, that was great!!

I've been playing just a tad with HDR photography, and I'd like to know what you guys think I can do better.

First shot is just normal, single exposure, nominally exposed, second one is bracketed HDR.

I'd love any criticism you guys are willing to give.

Thanks!

Lol!!

I'd also like to compliment Orgamiboy on an excellent choice. There's nothing like getting to know your roots. I've had GPL since it was released, and it still amazes me.

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Why no one mention Forza 2, its awesome (I am waiting for my copy to arrive).
If you have X360, go try the demo, and if you like it, you like full even more, because for example, the damage in demo is not simulation. In demo if you hit head-on to wall 250 KM/H only change is cosmetic, but in full game, you can choose different damage types, and when on simulation, car will start behaving like it should be, when damaged.

Ohh....i want to make 1000hp car already,can't wait!

I have it, and I love it. You won't be disappointed.

Quote from Gunn :

I think cruise servers are great! They keep all the arcade kids away from the race servers.

I've been thinking the same thing the whole time

This got off to a rocky start obviously, but I do think the discussion has merit. I'd be fine with a chicane that creates passing opportunity, but most of the chicanes in LFS don't.

I'd love to see more "Chicanes" like the first complex at KY GP Long, or the corkscrew at Aston, but I don't even really consider those chicanes. Those are more just real corners.

I of a true chicane as the ones like on the Mulsanne straight at the Sarthe circuit at Le Mans, or the ones they put in on the front straight at Monza, those add no excitement, just slow things down.

I'm not a big fan of some of the chicanes in LFS, particularly some at Fern Bay, there are a couple there that are just strange, but I wouldn't want to take them out really, since they're the character of the track. I wouldn't mind taking out the one I spoke of earlier, on FE Green coming up away from the beach, the chicane around the tree, that one is just strange.

I'd love to see some more complicated corner sections in future tracks, something like the final corners at Silverstone comes to mind, but with more elevation change and off camber parts.

Koenigsegg CCX?

TDU is fun, it's great to fire up and just cruise. I have the 360 version, so I have no issues with it. It will never replace LFS though.

The most odd one I think is on FE green/black, coming up from the beach, it's a normal sweeping corner, and would be great to go two wide around, but there's an oddly placed chicane right at the top of the hill. It doesn't slow anything down, it just eliminates the chance for side by side driving.

Ones like that I wish were removed.

Oh, true. I hadn't looked at that. Then he's just stupid. :-P

Ever think that he might not have ever downloaded S2 when it came out? He may still be on the S1 release with S1 physics and all that.

I've gotten mine to 143 mph, or 230km/h, it was still accelerating but I had to let off. Quite a rush.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I think it would produce the most boring racing on this planet, and I have many cases of proof, go take some AI's out in GTL, they get seperated very quickly. GT4, they get spread out and it's lame, I'm sure online it'd be the same story, being the only way to pass after getting behind is if someone totally messes up and crashes.

I dunno, I find in Forza racing against even 7 well matched AI is quite fun, and you can pass on the 'Ring, you just need skill. Also, online with guys who actually know what they're doing in Forza is a complete rush.

VROC on GPL on the Nurburgring was amazing too.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Nurburgring would suck huge for LFS, it'd be a hotlap paradise, but that's it. I'd rather have a track that produces better racing, like Road America, Road Atlanta, Montreal, Brands Hatch, feck, list every roadcourse imaginable, other than the nurburgring. People who suggest it are pretty dumb if they want it, becuase it'd be the most boring, useless track, becuase it's so big, a close race would be about as possible as getting another man pregnant.

Ever consider that the people who want it, may actually want it to hotlap on?

Also, it would be great for leagues or other things of that nature.

Back to video, is the leftmost pedal the clutch? He seems to be using it in a strange way, I can't really tell.

That Commodore or whatever the Vauxhaul version is, is much cooler than the new Ferrari...

Quote from AndroidXP :

Actually that's a much easier solution you sort of mentioned there. Ban people for being stupid.
Either they stop being stupid, or they get banned for it. It's a win-win situation

+1

I didn't really mind the "Thanks" system, I think it could have been successful with a bit of refinement.

Quote from Hankstar :

Can I getta "oopsy"?

Oopsie!

Mine, I don't really know, my first favorite car was the 1996 Viper GTS, hence my username.

I still really really like those, but I'm not sure if it's my favorite anymore.

Let's see, what would I like. B5 Audi A4, VW R32, a MKII VW Golf, VW Corrado, C6 Audi A6 4.2, B7 Audi RS4, Porsche 911 Carrera, 997 Porsche 911 GT3, Porsche Carrera GT3.

Those are all the more modern dream cars for me, I have an awful time picking favorites...

Some classics I'd love would be an Aston Martin DB5, 6 Cylinder Jag E-Type, Classic Mini, maybe an old Austin Healey Sprite. I guess I like old British cars and new German cars..

JTbo, that post sounds an awful lot like something AtomAnt would post...

Also press "F," you may be in forces view.
