I'd like to sign up if there is enough places

Thanks. I thought the latest patch was fully compatible with the previous.

I just downloaded flotch's Aston National - FXR world record replay, put it in the spr folder and loaded LFS. When I tried to watch the replay I got a message saying 'Video was made with a later version'. I have tried downloading the replay again, and still get the same message.

I've been looking for a league like this, will be signing up soon. Just out of curiosity, why are you only using the shorter tracks?

edit: none of the pictures seem to be working on the site...

I intended to colour this, but making this was incredibly boring, so I have given up with it. (it is all my own work, no filters, just many, many lines...1212 lines to be exact).

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Clue: No they haven't changed. Shame about the UFR especially, such a fun car but nobody drives it because it's so ugly.

If that is the case I doubt no one will be driving the BF1 when it's released

The FXR is too nice on it's tyres! While I was practicing for the 3hour race of Aston Historic I had a problem with the tyres, but it wasn't that they were getting too hot, it was that they were getting too cold! Aslong as you have the right setting for them they can last much longer than the xrr & fzr.

I have found a bug (in both R and S). If you turn off the lighting the inside of the wheels disapear on some cars (all the open wheelers and all of the GTR's).

It was a great race, not so much action but it was still very exciting for me.

Thanks again Scoop (and for the award ), you did a great job.

They seem to have blocked the 'goto last post' shortcut too. In firefox it asks to download showthread.php (just a blank page in dreamweaver) and in Internet Explorer it says 'The page cannot be displated'.

My team mate just took over for me, but instead of him starting in the pits he started half way around the track, a few corners before the second sector marker. Very strange bug, I think we lost a place or two there.

Oooooohhh, very excitin'

I imagine there is going to be alot of skin updating if the big tyre companies (bridgestone, yokohama etc) aren't available on the sidewall

I just tried it with 512x2 & the 1gb, 512x2, and the 1gb on it's own. Unsuprisingly the 512x2 and 1gb give the same performance (as far as I can tell) and the 512x2 & 1gb together seems to be quite a bit slower. I am going to put the two 512's on ebay then buy another 1gb.

Is it an AMD based system?

Yes, an Athlon 3000

will do, thanks for the quick reply

My brother just kindly gave me a 1gb stick of ram, at the moment I have two sticks of 512 in there. Could I put the 1gb stick in with the two sticks of 512?
Some people have told me it is safe to mix, and some people have told me I shouldn't...

Blasphemy!

I would recommend 3DSM 7, I tried 8 but I found 7 easier because there are alot my LFS resources for it, like scenes, cmx importer etc..

Check your keyboard settings (even if you're not using keyboard). If anything is assigned to the arrow keys for the keyboard controller you will need to hold shift + left/right to change the pitstop settings.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yayness - pretty good effort really Puts some peoples 50th render to shame... Of course I'm sure you don't need anyone to tell you it's not perfect, but I'm impressed. I'd concentrate on the rear lights to begin with - the default texture always look horrid in renders, so I editted mine to make it look better.

Keep it up

^ I hate the smiley now since, ahem, stupid people used it in the sig.

Thanks. Yeah it is far from perfect and very little of it is my own work. I'm going to leave rendering LFS cars for abit and learn how to use the program better so I can create something that is 100% my own work.

my first render...

Quote from joen :

I'd like to learn 3DSmax, but I can't get it to install properly It gives me the brilliant error "installation has failed because of an error" or something like that illepall

Is this the error you get:
Error 1920. Server 'RaySat_3dsmax8 Server'
(mi-raysat_3dsmax) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have looked through the rendering options but I can't find the option to change it. Although, I did find a ground plane in the rendering options and I assigned one of the ds-auto's lovely floor materials.
I will check out the dsrc forum tomorrow, I have given up with 3DSM, just for tonight...

Quote :

Apply a colour - say dark grey - using the materials (drag the blob onto the bit you want the material applied to.

Can you change the colour of the sky/background by doing that too? Whenever I try to create something for the background (like a plane) I cannot get it off the floor.
