Thanks to Mitch for the render!

I've been smoking for about 11 years and plan on quitting before June this year, 30th Birthday.

I figure I'm going to kill myself in some other way before cancer gets me but I want to get fit again and get back into my old cricket team etc

Thanks allot guys

Is there a way to rewind replays?

I know you can speed them up and slow them down with F2 and F3 but can't seem to find a way to rewind.

It's a pain trying to take screen caps of somethimg that happened in the middle of a 3 hour race and you just miss it

I didn't mean to start anything there, but I'm also a noob Rich so if I was bashing anyone I was bashing myself!

Isn't it funny how the threads that contain the least information are always the longest?

If you don't like the forums try using them more as an information base than anything else. Ignore the people that try to bring you down. Maybe find a different message board that you enjoy chatting on and use this one as a reference, that's what I've been doing and it's working great.

I got a bit of the same feeling when I joined but you can't let it get you down, don't let someone you don't even know stop you from enjoying the great experience that is LFS

There are some nice people on here that are willing to help you out like Tristan.

Quote from Hyperactive :

There is the pit limiter, press L to activate/disactivate it. But only racecars have it (and FXR ). No speed limiter in roadcars what I mean.

Perfect, thank you very much

Kinda makes sense, L=Limiter - lol

Is there a way of limiting your speed for this purpose?

I have trouble seeing some of the dials so I can see myself loosing allot of time here.

Nice work for MS paint, I hate that program!

I hadn't thought about the wings and other elements.

Thanks again Tweaker, you're a true gentleman

Thank you mate.

If I were to create the skin in 1280 x 1024 and only re-seze once back to 1024x1024 do you thinik I would loose much quality?

I will try your method on my next skin

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes, don't resize the image until you've finished. If you resize it to test it, use the undo command afterwards. Why would you resize to test it anyway, cos the CMX veiwer can take ANY size of skin.

I re-size the skin to 1280x1024 to skin it not realising that every time I make it 1024x1024 to view it I'm wrecking the whole thing.

Told you it was a noobie question

Thanks for your replies guys, much appreciated.

PS - Didn't realise the viewer could take any size images, that helps allot!

Hey all,

This may be a real noob question but it's killing me.....

When working on my skins I notice that some layers (the early ones) are becoming blury and pixelated. Would this be becuase I re-size the image too much?

It's very frustrating having to re-do layers

Any help would be greatly apprecited.

Thanks

I did it that way for the back view but you're right it does look a little odd with them facing each other.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Nice! but i prefer Coca-cola..

LOL

This is the finished skin (I think, I've already seen that the Pepsi on the front of the car needs repositioning!).

Update

Quote from ScarySquirrel :

i hate this f*****g game, i cant even complete a bloody lap now without spinning these stupid cars that feel like their on ice. so fed up with it. if it carries on liek this im just gonna delete the bloody thing and sell my wheel

You really are scary

I'm sure it will come with practice....

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Either visit http://www.lfsworld.net/ or - in game - if you're on the circuit and in the car, type "/w pb" in chat (without the quotes).

Thank you very much mate!!

Silly question but is there a way to see what your best time is on a certain track in a certain car?

Quote from ScarySquirrel :

My major problem atm is T1, on the exit i spin so many times, and if i hold back i feel im losing time, its doing my head in.

I have the same problem there but I think I can be smoother and get a better line with practice.

I hate to hijack a thread like this but I hope you don't mind Scray.....

I was mucking around with the FOX at Greenwood a day before you posted this thread. After reading through everyone's advice and watching Tristans replay and downloading his set up I was able to take 5 seconds from my lap times in 4 laps!! I really wasn't giving the FOX the credit it deserved, it has soooo much grip. Much more work to go but I thought I'd share my success so far and thank you all for helping out

Thank you for your input guys, makes allot of sense.

Much appreciated

I'll post it again when it's finished. Takes so much time though!

PS - Here's a sunnier screen cap.....

Hey all,

Thought I oughta try skinning something

It's still a WIP but I thought I'd post it up and see what you all thought. Can use any advice as I'm still new to this whole thing.

I will update when I finish it off.....

Well I'm in love - lol

I only had time to run over 2 different tracks and about half the cars last night but what a buzz!

The V8 open wheeler is fun to steer, as long as you don't use a gear lower than 3rd - lol

Anyway, I'm back into the slower cars till I get my feet which will be quite some time I feel.

I will post a replay of some laps at Blackwood to see what you guys think I can do to get my times down. I'll do this on Saturday, so busy with work!
