generally I dont like movies where incompleteness (imperfection) of damage model of LFS and unreal resolution contacts are shown...if LFS had really great damage model and if crashes looked very similar to real it would be nice compilation but spinning car in 20metres above the road, just because it touched barrier, doesnt amaze me

how to start...I didnt like the movie very much...there were few things that you should change/improve
- dont use too many different effects when changing one shot to another one...and IMO blurring, glooming and flashing effects are better than those you used
- in some shots the FBMs were too small and considering the quality they were just moving bunch of pixels
- those 1-2second black screens also didnt improve the quality of the video
- dont let cars go through the camera

but the shot I really liked (yes there was one) was the FBM spinning... (1:30) the shot wasnt anyhow special but it seemed to be kinda professional

but considering it was your first "big" movie it wasnt the worst start and as it was said before you have some feeling for doing videos so try harder...improve it and next time you will do it better

BTW: is that how it looks like in demo now? you CLICK CLICK on right mouse button (brake) in first turn of the race and you get big BOOM from behind?

Quote from BigTime :I used carfocus on my new video, which hasn't been released, but other than that I do everything manually. You can turn on view smoothing in your shift + U menu panel, in the bottom left of the screen. I think it's actually the top option.

Furthermore, you don't have to use full smoothing. Anything above half way should be adequate unless you just jerk the mouse around.

thanks...never noticed that feature before and it really helps very much while working in shift U
I downloaded carfocus but hell I cant understand how it works it seems to be quite useful in certain kind of shots but it seems to work rather different way than I would expect it to...it was made by brain who thinks other way than mine so I cant understand it

Quote from BigTime :Would help a lot if you actually followed the course... Oh yeah, and turn on camera smoothing.

video is removed as it was said before but i have a question...where can i turn on camera smoothing? somewhere in shift+u mode or in options?
btw (BigTime): do you use any software (like carfocus) to make shots or do you make everything manually?

that "non-fluency" ruins the experience from the video but not considering that it is quite nice movie

I have also liked this feature of lfs that it hasnt had to be installed but it is not such a big deal...
however I think just unpacking was much more practical

thx for doing the change for me so quickly ...I am really surprised and pleased
it is nice that devs care about opinion and needs of every racer

not restricted minimum height in shift+u mode is great imho and not restricted speed of movement (down to 0,1m/s) in shift+u would be also great for video makers if it would be possible and easy could you devs make this for me? thx

I finally make it run as I said in the last post but what makes me trouble is making camera which I want and putting it into the timeline (camerapath)
can someone explain me step by step how I create a new camera and most of all how I get my new created camera from the camera editor ("Race viewer & Track Cameras) to "Camerapath"
I find the procedure quite nonintuitive
sorry if there is some manual for it but I havent found anything useful to me
thx for helpful answers

Quote from morpha :If you ever started a host with an admin password, this will automatically be used as your client's admin password as well. Either clear the password in your cfg.txt (line Game Admin) or set the password found at that line in LFS CarFocus, if it supports that.

thx very much it helped

I dont know if somebody had the same problem here but I havent found it in this topic (but I wasnt trying so hard )
I am not good at this stuff (working with insim for the first time) so it might be something kinda stupid...I will describe my steps
-I unpacked Carfocus v2.93 into my Documents
-start LFS (Z25) on Vista
-type in "/insim=30000"
-start CarFocus and click "connect to LFS"
and this is the step when i got to my problem...in lfs it starts to warn me
"Insim: password does not match your multiplayer admin password" and this is being written over and over again until I close carfocus...
in carfocus I get something like this (it is written in Slovak language so I try to translate it as well as I can): "the object is not set for instancing object"
Thx for help and I hope I will make it run soon because the software seems to be really helpful by moviemaking

Quote from pik_d :Too long, I got bored about 1/2 to 2/3rds through and didn't bother finishing it. It's some nice effects bust most of it was simply the same thing over and over (with a different car).

i havent found it boring at all...the shortest 6 minutes in my life

Quote from MKR :Sorry but whats a tweak in lfs?

tweak is a software that increases your performance (horse power) quite a lot
and it didnt have to be tweak...just a little help from rear from some much more powerful car...for example fxr...this would make you up maybe 5 seconds only on the long straight...not that I would have tried it

Quote from arrowkart4 :lol, i didnt get that wr because of abs. i will upload a quicker time without abs, to prove that his lap wasnt anything special

edit : done

if you can do WRs without abs why did you recently do the rest of them with ABS? I dont get it but it is none of my business...
you are good in lfs and you know better if it helps you or not

Quote from joshdifabio :SO Sprint 1 is SO2 not SO1.

sorry i messed it up earlier in the discussion...I dont know why I wrote SO1R instead of South city sprint 1rev...now it is all cleared

Quote from Bansky :Belive me when i say, that a skilled driver, with out ABS will still be faster than one with ABS, but not that skilled.

This is caused by the locking <-> unlocking sequence of the ABS, wich does not allow to break as constantly as a skilled driver.

yes but as you can see...for example new wr on S02R by arrowkart is far better than the previous without abs...and believe me, Mysho is very good racer

Quote from BOSCHO :you can turn the ABS off

I know that very well but the thing I am pointing at is that if I turn it off I have quite smaller chance to compete with racers who have ABS turned on

Quote from marzman :You can still pick a car that has no ABS, like in real life.

yes but if I like to race with XRT for example I have no choice...
That is the only thing that is good that only some cars have ABS...thanks God

Quote from Scawen :You can now upload hotlaps recorded in Z25.

You can see on the hotlap charts at LFS World if a hotlap has been made using ABS - the only physical difference between Z25 and Z.

I dont like this very much...ABS may be good for people who race on mouse but if I were you I wouldnt allow hotlapping with ABS ... it causes that people, who dont want to play with any electronic systems in lfs, have no chance of competing with those who race with abs....and this is not only about hotlapping but in general about racing...if you dont have to think about your front wheels blocking you can just push the brake to the floor and that´s it ...until now there was also some skill necessary in braking...batching the brake force to prevent your wheels blocking

I am quite strictly against ABS because in my opinion racing should be just about pure drivers´ skill and not about using any electronic help... (not speaking about TC on BF1...without it BF1 becomes really hard to control)

however I doubt that this my opinion would change anything but I had to say this...and I hope I am not the only one who feels it this way

it isnt bad but there quite a lot shots where the car is too small and the other thing I dont like is that "overbrightness" but the car control was nice although Ken Block is Ken Block

Quote from the_angry_angel :it could very well be a tactic he's employing to distract people, I'm sad to say.

lool...i wrote that it also happened in my case after I take car from JackCY and I havent heard myself horning as well and there was really no intention...this topic is to solve the problem not to blame people without any evidence
deleting horn sound doesnt help at all because the other drivers still would hear it
Problem can be found in what JackCY was saying although it is quite strange
I will report the problem in bug section...i dont know if there is any possibility to copy the whole topic there or do I have to make a new one?
