Haha, oh wow. I never noticed that

Well, someone from Scotland was supposed to be arranging this years Kart meet, but haven't heard anything from them in a while???

If all else fails, I would be willing to do the same thing again

I'd be up for that again. It was simply awesome last year.

For those of you looking for a gear indicator or real-life rev meter but don't want to build one I just found this company who sell USB ones: www.symprojects.com. They also sell them on ebay. £24ish for the GI which is pretty good as the parts would cost you £10 odd and as some of you have found out it takes a long time to build one!

PS: I'm not associated with that company by the way.

at some point in the future

I lol'd a little

Good idea in theory, but what's to stop you pitting from the lead with a big gap, then as yuo leave the pits, you're held up by the blue light because the second place car's approaching, undoing all your hard work.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes, it is necessary to know the height specifically - how else will you ever repeat the wonderful handing you one day find yourself with if you don't know how the car was set up?

Save the setup, lol. That isn't possible in the real world, (unless you save the settings in a file on your laptop,) but in the game it is, so therefore it's not an essential thing in my view at the moment. I feel that if it's set as something that can be altered directly, you'll end up with loads of boy racers just dropping the car to the deck and then complaining because it handles like a turd, even though they've "lowered the centre of gravity".

Yes, you can alter the ride height directly, but that usually has an affect on weight distribution and so on. NFS games and such just allow you to alter it to make your car look "cool".
Then again, I only work on oval setups in the real world so maybe circuit racing is different......

If no one steps forward before then, i'll be happy to wait. After all, you are giving up your free time to do it so I don't expect anyone to immediately "down tools" just to help me, lol.

I'm not sure whether I'd want that, how do you mean exactly?

Do you mean as something you can alter on a sliding scale or just something that shows the ride height based on your setup? Ride height isn't usually altered by itself, rather as a result of altering other suspension settings.

I wish I had your skills, some seriously gorgeous work here.

No worries, lol. :bump:

I thought he wanted the "Need For Speed" look, lol.

Can anyone assist me with my rendering request please? I posted the skins in the "render request" thread, but if no one has the time to do a garage scene, I'd be perfectly happy to have them as seperate shots or lined up outside together even, if that's possible.

I realise that, but I've always been someone who would rather resurrect an old thread than start a new one for the sake of it.

Hi all,

If someone has the time, would it be possible to do a render of my cars in a team garage? I've seen a few on here, but I neither have the programs or the skills to produce one myself.

If anyone can help, i'll post up the skins later. (Photobucket being a pain atm.)








Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Not really skins as such, more just adult rated, (almost,) pictures slapped over a skin.

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it.

Now all I need is to find templates for the XF and FXO cars lol.

Is there anywhere else these are available?

How about Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire, UK? Better yet, discuss with Jonathan Palmer about replicating all the MSV tracks. I'm sure there's a realistic case to be put forward to him for joint promotion of both products and therefore joint responsibility for costs incurred.

Quote from JazzOn :

@ Nick, what issue, attach the skin... and BTW there is an Work in Progress section in this forum

I'm aware of the WIP section, apart from the issue with the front though, (now wondering what skin I'm supposed to attach,) these are my finished articles. They may not be as detailed or impessive as most on here, but I'm happy with them and shall run with them as they are.

Quote from logitekg25 :

i was thinking it would be more of a add a comments section as a tab, incase the name doesnt quite tell the whole story

That's what I thought when I saw the title, I know we always end up adding notes to our setup sheets.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

A low power, no downforce single seater, a FFord/FVee like car

I thought there already was one, the MRT5.

Ok, early attempts for me, nothing special, however I shall be using these online.
(No fancy renders either due to not having a program to do them on.)

There does seem to be an issue around the front bumper vent, anyone know where it is on the template so I can get rid of it.

Some new screenshots (only viewable by those with iRacing accounts):
