Oh, I from what I've seen of it in the threads I've looked in, it was quite useful...

Maybe I've missed something...

Why don't Honda chuck the current car in the bin, and work on developing last years car instead?

We know that the Super Aguri is quicker...

Quote from Boris Lozac :I don't understand you guys, don't you have any Nationality pride?

Just bitching and bitching about the poor guy, and he's nothing but BRILIANT!
ITV this, ITV that, you hate him because your comentators actually DO have some pride for the country in which they live? That's sad really...

Indeed, very odd. I think its just because we hate having the same opinion as James Allen... But in this case he's right. I think the guy is superb (LH not JA ).

Quote from sinbad :I hope my post was not genuinely taken seriously, I hate when that happens. First the pogo sticks and now this.

Well you were being funny, but at the same time making a point. Yeah it is VERY annoying how they all worship Hamilton, but meh...

Quote from thisnameistaken :Nah, I don't like him because of the way he handles himself in interviews, he comes across as a bit slimy. That and the fact that he's way too well-groomed, he looks a bit too pretty, almost feminine. I'm surprised with all the adverts he's doing that he hasn't tried to sell me cosmetics yet.

Lol. Interesting. I can understand that, and you have a point, but seriously...

Quote from thisnameistaken :FWIW I don't like Hamilton much either, he seems like a bit of a cock.

??

I don't understand all this Hamilton hate. Jesus we need more sportsmen / women like Hamilton. Far too many Brits end up like Henman. Button is a Henman.

You don't like him because he is so competitive. But what's wrong with that? To beat top experienced drivers, you have to believe you can, and that normally has an influence on your attitude. However I have only rarely seen Hamilton show any arrogance / cockiness. In the British GP, he blamed everything about his poor result, on himself infront on everyone. I don't think you could find another driver out there who would take 100% of the blame like that.

You can't expect everyone to walk around all jolly and polite, when they are trying to be the best in the world for christ's sake.

Oh and one last thing, Hamilton hardly went berserk when it appeared his own team mate had deliberately robbed his chances at pole. Imagine if it was reversed, and Alonso was the victim? He would have gotten a shotgun out.

/rant over.

Edit: Oh yes, because ITV like him, you guys hate him. Hmmm how very sad...

Quote from Electrik Kar :Scawen (i think) did say though that he was going to work on them more, after patch V. You never know, if it wasn't for Dave, Scawen might have instead spent all his time enhancing and perfecting the engine, and tweaking the sounds, and by now we'd have awesome spectacular better than real-life sounds in surround sound!

/goes off to find Dave

Since people wanted some videos to compare, here are some:

Patch U sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68-3Ugw7cwM
Patch V sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXG2TJQgsoE
Patch W sounds (mine :P): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3140969976597379310

I know they still sound crap, but I have many ideas for Scawen to try out when he is ready.

P.S. You can find some updates to the BF1, FZR and FZ5 HERE. However don't expect a miracle. Also, the post below mine in that thread, the FZ5 sound, is actually quite good. I may ask him if I can develop that further.

P.P.S How about if people try making the sounds better themselves if they don't like them? Everyone has the same tools available to them as I did.

Haha rofl, they just showed the clip of James Allen going spastic when Button won last year.

Quote from Clownpaint :Do you have to be able to read his mind to see him pointing at the pit crew and looking over to them, and getting frustrated at the fact that they are holding him back more than once?

I don't.

It's clear Alonso feels he is playing second fiddle to Hamilton. The last few races are his way of stating he still deserves to be #1. It's making for some great television.

That's a point, maybe Alonso's aim wasn't to ruin Hamilton's chances. IIRC most F1 drivers don't know much themselves about how much time they have left to leave the pits etc...

Alonso did look very worried indeed in the PC, and very relieved when they didn't ask him too many questions.

Tristan, are you saying that Schumacher is not a worthy champion either? Because Schumacher used to do things far more naughty than that.

Quote from deggis :If he's not extensively promoting LFS/racesims in general, so how would what affect anything?

No, but the fact is, he got into RL motorsport through playing LFS. Maybe other teams will look for other top performing sim racers to test IRL.

Quote from Ian.H :I'll have to disagree here... no tracks I know in real life have crazy shadows appearing from nowhere and the most ridiculous clipping & popping I've ever seen.

As I've always said though, the texture work considering the low-res textures used has been utilised pretty well.. but due to so many errors / glitches on just about every track in the game, it removes any kind of "very realistic" enthusiasm for me. Fix these.. and Blackwood in particular would be very realistic IMO.. by far the best track in the game.


Back to the original topic, I'd agree that the UF appears to be one of the new cars with the least detail externally. The looks / design itself is fine, but the poly count in places could do with some additional polys I think.. not to change the styling in any way, just to refine some of the corners / edges. Likewise I think the interior is pretty much fine for the UF.. there wasn't much to an old Mini dash either Smile



Regards,

Ian

Play any other game, and LFS tracks look just as good. They are miles better than rFactor tracks.

Truely, TRUELY awesome. GO Norbi!!

I can just think, if Norbi becomes good in this, will LFS be seen by real racing teams as a genuine grassroot for RL motorsport?

Oh just awesome.

The tracks in LFS look very very realistic, but the cars are really lacking. I don't think that many more polygons are needed, but some better lighting and mapping effects.

To be fair, it's not as if the two cars look in any way at all similar is it?

A few minor sound updates I'll stick in here.

BF1_NEW.eng - *Slighty* more engine like sound, and better gear shift sounds.

FZ5_NEW.eng - More meaty "flatter" sound, but still refined.

FZ5_NEW2.eng - More race car like, slightly tweaked from earlier one in this thread.

FZR_NEW.eng - Less roar, but more meaty and more 911 like.

Well its a thousand times better than your other videos, and you are only 8, so well done.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :I would built something on AMD2 X2.Something like X2 3800 or 4200+.
This one faster in games then E2140 for sure.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... ;catid=123&subcat=111

But you do realise the E2140 can be overclocked to 3.2 GHz with stock cooling. I'd go with the intel.

To be fair Leprekaun, saying things about your good ability (whether true or not) isn't going to get you support from the forums...

But anyway, anything you say now is just digging you deeper. Who cares what people say? If you know how good you are then that's what counts surely?

Edit: If you believe you are the best, that's good, as you will be better in LFS because of it, but it isn't going to get you many fans by saying it on the public forum.

*Ignores the bickering*

I don't think talent plays no part whatsoever, I think if you have less "talent" than someone else, you will need to concentrate/practice harder to challenge them.

However I don't think talent is as much a significant factor as people think, and lack of it can be overcome with concentration, belief and determination.

Quote from Austin31287 :250watts =( http://www.dabs.com/productvie ... e=All&NavigationKey=0 can buy if any gd

From the reviews they look very good for the price. But if you want reliability get something like Antec, 400W should be enough IMO, on amazon or something.

If you can't see it on the power unit, you may have to unscrew the outer case of the tower, then unscrew the power unit from the case. The label with the information will be on one side of the PSU.

Quote from Austin31287 :it is about 230vol

mobo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... duct.php?prodid=MB-120-AB
C2D http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... duct.php?prodid=CP-151-IN

that wht i like =) is that ok or s**T wht hz is that C2D is Low 1.6 when mine is 2.8 explane plz

How many watts is the PSU not what voltage, something like 400 W would be enough.

And those parts are good, including that CPU, it says only 1.6 GHz but like someone said the architecture is better, and plus it can be happily overclocked to 3.2 GHz, which could be equivilent to 6 plus GHz P4.

Quote from Electrik Kar :I often think "I can't do that" about my own racing, and then every now and then I'll completely surprise myself. Sometimes not trying is almost as good a strategy as trying!

Lol, true that has happened to me also, but I was generalising.


Oh and BTW if some people give up trying to do something, it won't always be because they don't think they can do it, it can be because they have had enough of trying.

zeugnimod: Why think like that? You are human, whoever is also human, so why go around thinking you will NEVER beat them?

P.S. If talent does exist, I think it just means some people with less "talent" (possibly me? I don't know) need to try harder. But this is all a theory.
