Actually you can drive with your lights off at low speed but if you ever drive a car on speed above 130km/h (I don't doubt you do)with long lights on, you will notice how fast things you saw at the end of the lights come to you. Now imagine you drive at this speed without lights.....
So avoiding biker at night with light off could be quite an experience for him and you.
Anyway anime have this advantage that there will happen everything you draw. And this rule unfortunattely doesn't apply to the real life
So repeating in real life anything you saw in anime its generally bad idea.
Don't do it Although you my watch on you tube epic fails of guys who tried and FAIL miserably

Fail didn't notice its was posted b4
Changed.

Honestly I wanted to join but don't have time to make skins for all cars in game.
I mean when there is time limit its quantity or quality

Actually I wonder how this competitions going to look like.
I mean i expect pretty common stuff, like tons of sport layers, sponsor ads, carbon parts and probably images from web.
Its not like I am say its something bad i mean thats whats ppl like and sport cars suppose to look like and stuff, in the other hand cash can be a quite good motivator

Also have few a questions just to make its clear.
Is stuff that not really suit for online still accepted.
"ground theme" so whats ground theme mean i mean is it something like save our mother earth or something my english is lam3
And the main question if I understand you correct are you wanna skin that looks the same on all cars
I mean you have to skin all cars in game but with same skin?

And dude

Quote from th84 :

If you want to win I would be sure that there is lots of pink in the skin. That is his favorite color. Also, be sure to include rainbows as much as possible.

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr :

or I could not do that, go for something cool, and go for the gold, a license!

pink is totally cool at least if its not gonna be to just plain pink.

Well in case of "weird sites" I am sure if the site where WEIRD enough they my want to read the logs every proxy have ones, not sure only bout TOR due the way how its masking IP.
Proxy also useless in case you wanna download/upload something or watch movie(not the weird movie, just movie on you tube for example but its not available in your country)
Also due to low speed its good only for sites and in case you don't wanna pull any illegal trick.

Quote from Shadowww :

Yes, as long as you enable AntiAliasing in drivers, not in game.

AA enabled in game don't work properly on radeons or something?

Its almost like gathering Pokemons.
Added myself to your collection

So basically old games where new, fresh and innovative when they where relased, now its only repetitiveness but everyone know that new ideas its usually remake of old ones.
New games have better graphics more complex game play and overall they are better, not all of course.
But somehow I still enjoy old games don't know why, sentiment, maybe climate of games. maybe its maybylline.
<Offtop>
If you looking for innovative, simple and usually fun games then online flash games could be it.
Something about 50% of them sux but there is still enough fun and interesting games.</offtop>

WoW!
But honestly look at the skins where ppl say "WoW" and judge by yourself if your skin deserves it.
Its nice, like the colors you chose, but just not the Wow level
To me carbon looks to bright to straight and to noticeable.
Suggest you to make it darker also it could be a good idea to add black colors in front.
Also red roof ends to sudden.
BTW I also wanna wow but till now I post 4 skins and get only one "love it" so gotta try harder
Cheers.

PS. don't use paint it has no heart in it
Use Gimp love this program :lovies3d:

Actually model of cars are quite good and very detailed. I suggest you to take any car and look close to see that actually its really detailed.
So I definitely don't want new poly model (for now) cuz really love current.
Places that in others sims are just accented with textures in lfs have real shape.
Also I suggest you to look in cars cockpit XFG, XRG, Scirocco(in LFS Viewer)
Dude i totally love them without real time shading they look incredibly realistic and detailed.
Actually maybe I didnt played enough games to say that but i think that is one of the most realistic and detailed cockpits in sims, well the rest of the cars need update

The only thing i would like to improve its things that would make lfs look more realistic dust, rain, day and night. sights on cars after smaller crashes, sights of dirt and sand, flames from exhaust, parts of cars laying on road, better damage and stuff like that.

But i am pretty cool with 3d cars models. Textures can be replaced then lfs look simply amazing.
The only 3d model i would change its hands model current look kinda square like

Of course I don't say that it should stay like that forever but considering count of devs sry but graphic is somewhere in the middle in the list of improvements, I would like more detailed setups, better physics current is not bad but still everyone admitted there is more things to implement.

Look at the screen of cockpit of the scirocco, say it lack anything I dare you

One question what music card do you own realtek or what.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

True, Not all NFS fans are high skilled car drivers (most of them are kids though)

But it gets dissapointing on the end. Stupid story, unlocking parts of cars etc.

haha true when i played NFS carbon on ps2 the story was so immature and simple that it hard to call a story more like random movies that suppose to give you a filling that you participate in something big.
If it about skills apart from playing Gran turismo, LFS, and Toca race driver(not really a sim if you ask me )
I play NFS on PS2 and Ridge racer on psx emulator just cant stop to much like it
And Dirt dirt somehow have screwed stering dont know what but cant feel it something like delayed reaction can stear well but still dont fill.
So in any case Games you play its more like what you like than how old or skilled are you.
For me game should be fan no matter is it sim or arcade
BTW. NFS was quite fan even if it has stupid story or the fact that parts or setups where rather worthless.
I don't know is it only me but I still play NFS Porsche unleashed one of those games where graphics is not terrible even on todays standards and there is still a lot of fan.

Quote from G!NhO :

NFS is a game for 3 year old's who don't even look at the screen but just keep pressing the throttle with their right finger.

game sucks balls

Dude I have 5 finger on my right hand can you precise which of them is more right than the other
Anyway something tells me that you speakin bout console version.
Since when playing with joypad throttle is usually on right side

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

As seen in the video, you can full throttle in almost every corner

Well if not sim it can become a very good arcade.
And making trough every corner on full speed have it charm also.
Here I mention again bout Ridge racer series.
Thx to the proper raceline and drifts you could beat almost every track on full throttle and this was quite exciting, speed and balance on the edge of losing control.

Actually don't know why you seems so surprised bout it.
Its not new idea ppl should do something when its all begin.
Now its a common practice.
Didn't you know that web where already monitored for some time already.

Dirty version of my previous FXR skin (few posts above)
Don't know is dirt look realistic enough but making it was surprisingly easy and takes only about 15 minutes. although the effect wasn't so good like on my first try.

Its not what its look like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC8Q3VF9Rpc

Well I reveal you a secret as far as I remember almost every developer claims that his product its the most advanced technically and the most realistic soft on the market which going ahead of all actually available games and even its new epoch and all, saddenly its usual full BS so i wouldn't believe devs on word I would rather wait for some reviews and gamers opinion.
BTW the game that always claimed to be unrealistic and prove to everyone that its anything wrong Ridge Racer (4 is my favorite )
Cool example why unrealistic doesn't mean bad.

Total oftop just saw first time sirocco cockpit I am in love:lovies3d: cant wait till the patch come out.

Yeah that whats games are about, about pure fun.
Unfortunately a lot of ppl mises that point.
There is sims, arcades all kind of games and neither of them lam3 just different.

But i think that most complaints bout lack of realism in games its kinda forced by nature of this forum since its dedicated to the quite realistic sim.
Saying something like Yea I like arcade and flashy graphics its kinda "faux pas" and its punishable by community boycott so a lot of ppl even if they like something like this will not admit it in public cuz there will be always some realism fan who almost Sh*%$T in dos mode and in addition makes graphs of it, and start another flame war that if you like games like this its definitely mean you little kid who doesn't value anything in game except graphic so its more safely to stay low and quite

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

they don't care if you have ground effect. They don't care if you have laser scanned tracks

Since laser scanned tracks i am pretty sure are not in LFS but ground effect I read in manual its suppose to be added in one of the patch,
so is there any chance its already in LFS.
The manual might be a little outdated.

Damn now i have to take back my words bout ppl with low spec
hate when i am wrong but it cant be avoided from time to time i guess.

But back to your PC first question did you install XP on C drive?
Second did you make a clean install or just over it? if just over it then make clean.
Third use recovery console to try to repair windows "There is a lot of possibilities, first one is try to "chkdsk C:/R" in recovery console with windows cd in cdrom sometimes help, watch in web for "Fix boot" or "Fix MBR" and how to do this correctly, try to edit boot ini.
In any case for beginning i advice you to do first "CHKDSK C:/R" then Search in web for "Fix mbr" and "Fix Boot" with explanation how to open recovery console and do this.
Wish you luck

Quote from Bob Smith :

What about people who are on a very low bandwidth service, or with tight data transfer limits? They might really not want to download hi-res skins. Also I'm really not interested in looking at skins, whether you think I need to or not. So we should be able to disable these 'free' hi-res skins.

I also think that you should have the possibility to disable if you don't want to watch skins of ppl who pay to wear 1024 res.
So just small change from devs side.
@If you payed for 1024 skins dl so it wouldn change for you you will see it anyway.
@If you didnt payed then you also can swith to 1024 dl then you would not dl any skin other tht ppl who payed for this.
@And the third option turn to 512 and enjoy low res quality, you will not going to see any skin in 1024 your bandwith will be saved.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

The only reason you need skins is to have an idea of who's who on the track. When you're racing, you're not thinking how the skin of the guy in front of you would look better in hi-res. Hi-res skins might look good in the garage, but once you're racing I'd doubt that 90% of people will notice the quality.

I haven't noticed any difference between hi-res and lo-res when racing, I don't even look at what the skin is about, just its general pattern and colour, and maybe the number if it's big enough. It's much better than using names over cars that way

So you pay for hi res so you can say there is no difference?
But you wouldnt like to see hi res for free?
Dont get it...

I am pretty sure most ppl wouldn't have nothing against watching at ppls skin at hi res, at least i would like, since i played on few servers where ppl like to wear custom skins wich usually contains very small details thin lines and likes and usually its screew looks of it pretty much.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Have any facts to back that up?

Well whenever i am on server and ppl speak bout skins its usually like yeah cool skin and all but the 512 quality really sux actually after few talks like that i decided to make this topic.
when speakin with ppl on servs never met anyone who would pay for dl1024 so this why i said no much ppl pay for it.

Quote from Myw :

Personally, I think that this would be tampering with the skin maker's intentions which is not right.

There 4 steps to show you my way of thinking.
>If I make skin i spent time to make it look good.
>If I uploading it on lfsworld I do it to show my (good looking in my opinion) skin to other ppl I racing online.
>If it doesnt looking good online i dont have what to show other ppl since it look like pile of pixels.
>So I dont upload it on lsfworld since uploading misses its purpose anyway.
So its screew my intention as a skiner anyway wether ppl see it or not.

Anyway I cant speak for other ppl the fact that i would pay to make my skin look as it intend to do from the very begining doesnt change the fact that not all ppl think like me.
So it could be either a great idea which make game look better and more enjoyable and skining more rewarding.
Either An Uber Fail, I simply cant say right now how this would develop.

But this discussion grown long and painful lets kill it
Cuz this discussion its really pointless..
Cuz we have here ppl who just like flame wars so they use arguments like

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

No.

Either don't understand what this thread its about

Quote from Tim_J_23 :

Would YOU pay to see others skin?
No.
Really suckass idea. -4564575467468678

Unless my english its really sux so i cant explain what i meant then sry if this the case.

Also there is some conformist who cant say anything that really matters
But the want to lick some a**es so they could find some friend online.
So they cant say anything reasonable but still want to take their part in discussion.

And ppl who just afraid to say anything that is deffer form official forum mainstream so thy stay quite or say something that is neutral cant blame them thought.

At the verry end we have ppl who have some arguments why this idea sux, or who show me posible problems.
But or I am some freackin genious or all this problems is easy to solve or just avoid, some other problems we speak here just need not any solving cuz they are doesnt exist.
So as i said or I am some freacking genious or most of this problem its not really matters and in fact its just serve to make some big pile of problems to show me how much the idea sux.

Ofcours a few really reasonable arguments where mentioned here but the rest is just meningless.

Also there is no such a thing like feature to hard to implement cuz every coder dev programmer call whatever you like know that making anything its like making code in one hour and correct mistakes, finding why its not working and try to baypass limitations for next 6-10 hours
So in fact making games or anything its from begining not easy and generaly its pain in the ass

But as I said i tired of this meaningless discussion so no matter what i will not respond(or I try not to respond ).
So close the topic, delete it, leave it as memento to hext generation why you shouldnt come up with some crazy ideas, I dont care Hi/Bay, lets kill it.

Well I am interest in sims and only two sims probably worth mentioning since they appear frequently in diffrent threads on this forum (usually in comparison and when you compare stuff its mean you think they quite equal in quality) . IRacing and no matter how good it is i will not going to pay subscribtion the devs can go subscribe their mama's
And Rfactor, from what i saw till now its nothing special. Cars flying like UFO's LFS much more realistic unless you hit the barier. damage look cool but only in open whels. when cars makes a few flips it usually survives its surprisingly well, in lfs didnt met so stiff and durable cars.
Overal graphic is good but somehow i still didnt find anything that would really impress me.
Its more like No Hah! Factor here.
So for now LFS is the winner. Graphic its not so bad to make any worse than RFactor or Iracing and For that cash, well if you find better sim for that cash give me a call i will definetely buy it
Back to the topic.
Freetrack in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8K-wo_QWBY
Site to dl with guides how to make one http://www.free-track.net/english/
Considering existence of freetrack you may consider buying TrackIR only in case you have to much cash and since cash its one of those things that you never have to much so....

I wish i could see it HD on youtube without random stutters

Just press pause and wait till movie load to the end then press play and watch.
Unless you meant that your computer cant handle HD.
