Just done the vixen pre-season race on this combo and still really, really hate the last corner. It changes every lap it seems.

Then darkone goes and beats the WR by 2 tenths on about the 40th lap. illepall

It was a perfect lap I think, with that set. Both PB splits. But the FOX is faster on worn tyres. :/

Quote from Becky Rose :

Am I the only one who can't find the actual survey? Maybe it's a fake blonde thing. I can find the press release, but not the actual questionaire. I want to tell them they've screwed up the mechanical/aerodynamic grip balance again so they can ignore me again.

There's not a single question that goes into the technical part. Only a few questions how much you are interested in the techical parts of F1.

It's the large banner middle-left-under in the screen.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

u look at all the replies from the rosberg thing, the real racers say 'yea rosberb was stupid' and the simmers say 'monty was stupid'

Monty is just stupid in general anyway. :P

But really, I haven't heard anyone of the racers say it was Rosbergs fault..

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

did u see rosberb staying on the outside of monty? thats what happens when u stay on the outside!!
many LFSers do this and them blame me for hitting them...

Well, Monty was kinda stupid there. You know what he said to a Dutch reporter; "Rosberg was being stupid, because my car was faster".
That's the most funny thing I've heard an F1 driver say. Come one, there's not much space in that corner, Rosberg tried to stay on the outside, and didn't gave up (good mentality imo), but Montoya was stupid enough to put his car there anyway. If his car was really faster he would have catched Rosberg later anyway. Montoya is really a child...

It's not bad, but not perfect either. I noticed there were some in-game messages, quite disturbing. Then about the camera's; in my opinion, and you're not the only one who does that, but you're using too much "impossible" camera's. And then I mean the cams which are following the cars, but are just hovering in the air. You also used very much the standart cams, that's not wrong, but this way the clip hardly gets an identity.

The idea of the beginning is nice, but it's not convincing. The texts are either meaningless, or said in the wrong way, so the message doesn't come over clearly. Then the sounds are a bit "weak". That heart-beat isn't really a heavy sound which sounds attracting, it's just a sound. And then you see part of a race. Which is nicely done, but imo too clear. And the difference in loudness of the sound is too much.

And finally the clips don't really go with the music. In big lines it's nice, but the details are missing. A spectacular climax doesn't only have to be reached by fast camera switching or full-speed cars, but also by the way it gets on the screen.

For example, 20 cars viewed from very far away is just as special as 1 massive car in your screen. So, imagine what it looks like with 20 massive cars in the screen, they don't all have to fit, as long as the viewer know's there are 20 cars there.

Hope I'm a bit clear, since it's already late. And not that I disliked it, but now it isn't really that special imo.

I made a template for the helmet. It's based on an Arai helmet.

Two preview's and a .psd file in a zip attached. Enjoy!

Update of my personal helmet;

New top, new lion on the back, new visor, and some more details.

Shame psp crashed after I resized it to 512 for LFSW tho. So I'll have to repaint it again.. :/

Two more.

Overtake2 is NOT the way to pass. I'm very lucky there that Adam didn't turn in to the apex.

Overtake3 is cool imo, the outside, just giving eachother enough room.

Here's a video, I overtake the yellow car at a point where it's "impossible"..
Actually it's about the only point where you can pass someone at Fe Green.

Quote from Blackout :

I think this clip suits here pretty well. Who you think is guilty to the crash happened? The black car or the yellow one? The yellow is in front, he totally blocks the line way too late. But he is in front so he has the right to choose it. Offcourse both of the drivers didnt admit doing anything wrong, what you think? Did yellow try to ram the black of the track or was the black one to blaim?

In this case the yellow one, because it's really really unnessecary what he does. If you was defending he would keep that outside line, because next turn he will be on the inside anyway...

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

i dont mean a video of 'nice fights' where drivers give each other room etc so they can carry on having a good race, i mean a vid where someone gets done and thats that, then a vid of the various things that can go wrong, like staying on the outside or not being commited enough!!

Hehehe, give each other room, I thought you knew Phlos.. :P

Good idea about the video. I got some very nice replay's here with much fighting, maybe I can make something soon.

The 2000 is just for the 2.0 liter engine. Just like Formula Renault 2000.

Isn't the fuel consumption just lowered because of the BF1?

The BF1 uses so much fuel you can only drive 40 mins with it or so.

A solution could be a smaller tank for the FOX...

Quote from Electrik Kar :

Happier w/ the grass now. Here's a comparison shot...

Its nice, very sharp. But I don't like the way the tarmac and the grass come together. Maybe add a little piece of the tarmac to the grass texture? Like this:

(off-course as little as possible because otherwise you would think the grass is still tarmac. :P

I loved they way the FXR got through the turn after the long straight at Blackwood before the patch. I could just feel it when it wasn't possible to go faster, in my FF.

Eh, liveforspeed.net was already veeery slow the days around the patch came out. So; no. :P

Quote from Matrixi :

Nice. Perhaps the wheels need a bit of radial blur..?

Why? There's no motion blur in it anywhere.

The rain just stopped;

Yea, I totally agree. If you want +1 wing at the front now, you also need to add +2 at the rear.. That is +3, which is quite a lot.

I don't like the color of the grass, it's not green enough (typical ISI-engine grass, I hate it :P) Curbstones look way too flat, for.. curbstones.

Tarmac looks better, but still very flat and dark. Sorry.

I like the brighter one. Might use a little less contrast I think.

Hehe, very nice.

Quote from Don :

ive done this some time ago but didnt like it so i didnt post it ....but we have some panoramas here in last days, here it goes...

Oeh, I love that sky. Is that sky shopped into it, or you really have that in LFS?
