Smaller FOV, my bad.

err...so? you are basiacally zooming in, so everything apperas bigger and much closer to camera. theres nothing wrong with it imho.

Quote from XCNuse :

@Dajmin, if he is indeed working on it, I hope he fixes the background bug that occurs when you increase FOV large enough to that the background images become huge. This is easily visible by choosing SO Long Rev (its closer at least), and then going to camera view once you hit the highway, and note how large the background becomes. It looks hideous.

sorry? it looks perfectly normal

Quote from XCNuse :

Wait, isn't the expectancy date for this patch .. this week?
Or has Scawen mentioned moving it back in any of the test patch threads? I never read through those, its to much to read. :/

you are talking about patch X which won`t bring any new gfx updates (tracks,cars), but "only" the multiplayer stuff and skins stuff.

Quote from Scawen :

Escape menu now looks better and is less cramped

Do you really insist on the key shortcuts to be displayed in the ESC menu? IMHO, it will never look better with the shortcuts displayed there. It just looks much better and simpler without them. And my guess is, that people who`d use key shortcuts, are a bit of "pc geeks", so they`d read those shortcuts in keys.pdf - and for the "noobs", i guess they can just press ESC and click - its not that much work for them

Or maybe the best idea would be to add those key shortcuts into the list of reserved keys? that list needs update anyway (missing things like shift+u, F9, F10, F11, F12 etc...also, there is still the old replay speedup/slodown key shortcut SHIFT+F2/F3 [now its just F2/F3])

ah, so Slovakia our languages are very similar.

shift+u and then press TAB

Quote from ajp71 :

The other two accidents rather highlight the problem with modern rallying:

actually, the accident of the JWRC driver (at Catalunya 2006 iirc) wasn`t classical accident. He crashed and ended off the road, both the driver and codriver unhurt - they were trying to repair the car, when another driver had accident in the same place and unfortunately hit the codriver who was repairing the car.

Quote from J.B. :

Yes, that's how I know it. Why weren't they warned? Were there no marshalls? Were they at an official spectator spot?

And to the people who think it's silly to cross a rally track: You are aware that rally cars are seperated by about five minutes from each other aren't you? Crossing the track is a perfectly reasonable thing to do if you know there is no car coming.

Do you think that marshalls can be on EVERY few meters of the stage? For example, the stage where this accident happened, was ~11km long. Its impossible to cover EVERY cm of stage by marshalls.

The interval between the "top" drivers is 2minutes, 1 minute is between the other drivers. Also, you can really hear the cars from very far away, so i cant imagine wtf was she doing.

Quote from deggis :

Not a big deal... good that they have added some new more representative screens to the screenshots page

One thing I don't understand, doesn't really relate to this thread tho, is that why all the default skins are lo-res 512x512... must be part of the general obsession for lo-res textures size or something.

in our hires pack (see signature) are some default skins in 1024x1024

...damn android :chicken:

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

Would be some Youtube or similar version avaible now? Althought I guess it would not make sense if the video is again at 50FPS.

I dont really want to upload the vid to youtube NOW, i`d prefer if ppl used the proper version. But i might upload it later, after few days i guess.

Quote from kmarty :

why your both slowmotion_tyres videos have incorrect aspect ratio set?
(1.25 instead of 1.77 on slowmotion_tyres.avi and 1.25 instead of 1.66 on slowmotion_tyres2.avi)

as we spoke in irc - i dunno. All of my players can play it correctly, except for the mplayer, which plays it in bad AR.

Quote from deggis :

What is the classical song/soundtrack? Great choice.
One thing I want to whine about, I don't think is 50 fps really needed - actually it's the opposite on low-end computers, it looks worse than 30 fps. HD resolution with 50 fps is simply too much at least for my computer. Usually no problem playing full HD res vids that has 25 or 30 fps. Youtube version coming soon?

its 2 songs i "mixed" together, but i dont know the name of neither of them.

I believe theres a big difference in smoothness between 30FPS and 50FPS vid tho.

the first slowmotion_tyres video is here

Quote from detail :

On false-start, is it possible to replace force-spec with just a dq? Dissapearing cars in championships would be not a good sight.

the force-spec is there for a reason, as a "wrecker protection" - it sends you to spectate if you move more than 4 metres from your starting position. So, if you do accidently a jump start like 1 sec before the green lights, you shouldnt move more than 4meters

Quote from mcintyrej :

You get 1 shot at each track, spin...No restarts. No telepitting, also. I want to make this as close to Real life as I can get.

well, in real rally (WRC) they have 2 runs thru the stage to write the pace notes, before the "real" run...but we would be going thru totally unknown layout for the first time as quickly as possible...?

Quote from boosterfire :

Isn't the copyright actually owned by Nicolas Gringon? I mean, it's his logo after all, and I'm not sure he got much recognition, most people think Eric made the logo or something

Else, I like the idea, and if I'd be the devs, I would let them do it, after all, they're getting free promo.

actaully, what Nicolas designed is "just" this gif:


this logo was then recreated in vectors and redesigned to the more known version (which was in S1 or the current S2 version) - by kidcodea

listen kids, this isnt a chat nobody is interested in your dialogues.

i dunno, but for me the pic on the far right looks most "real" (=when compared to what i see with my eyes)

Quote from Blowtus :

Without hdr, it acts like your eyes if your eyes had a much lower range. HDR tries to compensate for this.

so, when you stand by the window in a room and look out, do you see the rest of the room (by your peripherical vision) totally black? And when you look at the room, do you see the scenery outside window totally white? I certainly dont. But my camera does exactly this.

Quote from Shotglass :

you do realize that with those settings your actually lower the dynamic range dont you ?

thats what i dont understand - when a game has HDR, it acts like a cheap camera. When the game doesnt have HDR, it acts like your eyes...so why do people try to make games act like cameras?

i would really appreciate some autocross update as it will be the "main environment" for our "lfs topgear" project

this fps loss when looking back happends to me very often if theres some layout on the track (but it`s been like that forever i think)

reminds me the simpsons

there are many stars on the sky, brighten up your monitor.
But on the "default" pic i also cant see anything, not even the car, so i had to look at it at photoshop
