Great job, Scawen and the team. The menu is really nice, and the replay controls are very helpful. Thanks a billion!

But while we're on the subject of menus, I'm wondering if it's possible to make parameter values in the setups directly editable, rather than controlled by sliders. I.e. if I want a 1.345 ratio for 4th gear, I just click the value and type it in, rather than move the slider, since the latter is not always precise.

Either that, or you can make the whole thing a bit more realistic by specifying a minimum possible increment in adjustments (i.e. the ratios can be changed only by 0.05, instead of 0.001). Perhaps, I'm just nitpicking though

Quote from Sponge :

That's bit of an understatement.. it looks crap.. and the carbon texture is waaaayyy too big..

the rest of the skin is pretty nice though

Yeah, their hired paint shop was crap. And the carbon fibre fabricators...they were from Top Gear

All valid points though, I've fixed the skins.

Playing around with my new skin. Here's FZR @ Aston

P.S. Taavi and Lynce, you guys are killing me

Sounds like an awesome idea, but I've got no team, I'm rubbish with the FZR and more importantly, I'm on the other side of the globe

Edit: if having a team is not absolutely necessary, I'd be interested to join. But why not run the events on weekends (Sat. or Sun.)? Mid-week racing may be difficult to accomodate for many, especially during the fall. Meant in the spirit of a friendly suggestion

My first public skin. It's based largely on the Ferrari 550 of Larbre Competition from the 2005 FIA GT season. The 1024 version is already on LFS world.






P.S. yellow headlights not included

edit: skins were updated

I messed with my old profiler (don't know which version it was) yesterday and today the wheel wasn't working in LFS (pedals were, so were the buttons, but on turning the wheel, nothing was happening). So I uninstalled the old one and installed the new one (5.02) that I downloaded from Logitech. Seems to work now.

Quote from Cash_FLow :

It has effect on the cover!!

Look at the pic

my headlights are standard...no color added!

Thanks, man. This works beautifully!

Quote from LFSn00b :

s_glassalpha.dds

Though it will cover the interior thing too :/

It colors the instrument panel glass, but seems to have no effect on the headlight cover.

Quote from jonny dank :

You should try using a blue-ish?white-ish color for the bulbs for a kind a HID look

That may actually be something to do as an update. Several different variants and all. I'm sure if the cover dds is found we would get a whole new slew of headlight designs

Quote from FL!P :

Well, that's how it's done IRL (or was, when the French were required to use yellow headlights).

It may be, however on modern GT racing cars, I think the headlight cover itself is also yellow. For an example, see the F430GT

or the 997 911

Hi guys,

Thought I'd contribute something to the community, instead of merely taking stuff away

Here are a set of yellow headlights for XF/XFR, UF/UFR, RB4 and FZ/FZR, modeled after those used in gt racing (http://fiagt.com/gallerypic.ph ... p;season=2008&event=1)

Illustrative screenshots are included.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to alter the headlight cover itself, so I recolored the lightbulbs only. If anyone knows which dds file controls the cover color, let me know.

Comments/feedback appreciated.

Thanks, these do sound much better

That's fabulous, thanks Victor!

1.3 Gig, whew, I feared it'd be much bigger. Now my other folder...

Was hotlapping at aston a bit too hard...i still can't take this chicane properly

Quote from Stigpt :

They have a couple of kanards on each side of the front bumper - thats whats adjustable.

I've noticed those, but even if you're right, are they perhaps too effective? For example, +1deg on front gives you ~30N of downforce on FZR, while +1deg in the rear gives you ~40-50N.

Now, the rear wing suffers from the developing turbulent flow over the body of the car so its effect is reduced. But the surface area of the rear wing is way, way bigger than that of the front canards, so I'm rather skeptical of the effects they produce even if they are adjustable.

*Sorry if this has been discussed before, couldn't find it*

Being new to S2 (thanks to you know who you are ) and slowly coming to grips with FZR on Aston, I'm wondering about the availability of an adjustable front wing on this and other closed wheel race cars (FXO GTR and XR GTR).

From the look of things, these vehicles only have a front splitter that's pretty much fixed in its inclanation angle. I'm assuming these cars are modeled after LeMans/ALMS GT1 & GT2 classes and I don't think those car feature front wing adjustments either. I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong here!

So while I appreciate the setup flexibility that an adjustable front wing gives, I'm wondering if this option should even be there. Not trying to stir another "LFS is/isn't realistic" debate, but I'd like to know what you guys think about it.

Cheers,

Quote from deggis :

After all these doping scandals?

Doping or no doping, the amount of physical effort that goes into racing for hours on end on a bike (especially on climbs) is really quite incredible. It takes enormous commitment and dedication to pursue that for a living, and that deserves respect in my book.

Make no mistake, I don't applaud doping at all, but if that's the name of the game these days, if you're a competitive racer you pretty much have no choice but to do it.

:ices_rofl congrats on the win and heal soon!

I'm a cyclist to a certain extent, but to be honest, I find watching cycling rather boring. I have massive respect for what those guys are doing out there, but the show just doesn't grab me. I'd rather be riding myself.

Quote from WatermanJR :

So.............. !?

Looking good there!

Quote from pdanev :

A replica of the Muehlner Motorsport Porsche Carrera Cup. Lots of shapes and lines, took quite some time to align properly and get them as close to the original as possible. Hope you guys like it.

Great skin, thanks!

Here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/106956925/Kyoto_2.0.zip.html

Thanks alot! Now I can use it, too

Congrats Tristan, well done!

Gekkibi - I think that the reverse layout has been disabled in demo since patch Y. But I agree that BL1R would be a lot more interesting to drive on. I like the forced cockpit view idea too.
