ONE OF THE BEST ADDONS FOR LFS - w00t

Thanks again Electrik for making my hairs stand on end every time I glance down at the curbs at 200 kph Gorgeous. Much respect to you "Electrik Kar" and "unseen"

Off topic, but in Austrailia don't you use miles per hour?

Quote from theirishnoob :

toyotas are made in america , needless to say that fords are not

I believe there are Fords built in/for the USA (or atleast North America) but alot are built in Germany.

The European Fords and North American fords are completely different.

Also "America" refers to all of American; north and south.

Probably not actually ebay but there are auction sites for guns. There is as well in the UK but they only sell old break barrel shotguns and bolt action rifles.

Quote from andybarsblade :

its near impossible to buy a gun in this country and hand guns are banned completey, surely you ppl who live in america must see its WAY TO EASY to buy guns in your country? why do so many ppl in the us seem to think everybody needs a gun? you seem to buy them and carry them like mobile phones

Handguns were completely banned after the dunblane massacre, when a man walked into a primary school and killed 16 young children, quite shocking.

Quote from Rappa Z :

Is it just me, or is this happening more and more frequently? It's about time the U.S. did put a little more into gun safety. My mom went shopping and took me with her once, and at Walmart the gun rack was across the isle from were the games were sitting. The guns are way to easy to obtain. Sure you need a license, but i'm pretty sure that if the salesman is desperate enough he'll sell it to you without the license. It's a real sin, the kid had just graduated too. I always wondered why someone would do this, but it'll probably be because the kid was on drugs or something similiar.

Yet doesn't walmart ban the sale of violent games and offensive music or some mumbo jumbo.

Quick LX4 skin based on the Caterham R300. Same with my last skin (xfg) I spent longer making preview skins, as I decided to make an advert out of it.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

Yeah, because England has school shootings every year with death tolls in to double figures...

I think there has been only one major school shooting, a while ago which lead to the banning of hand guns.

Quote from mrodgers :

But you stated 14-15 inch diameter wheels, specifically. Nothing about tire diameter. With an off-road tire/wheel combination, you want smaller diameter wheels and larger tires. The larger tires allow you to decrease the air pressure and allow the tires to deform around an obstacle thus gripping it better with less chance of puncture from a sharp object.

It just really makes me laugh when I see 4x4 vehicles out on the road with low profile tires mounted to 18+ inch wheels.

When I said diameter I meant the height from the top of tyre to the bottom through the middle.

What I really meant is that the tyres are about an inch or so from the wheeel. And as you said low profile tyres on 4x4/trucks are silly.

Something I quickly made, took maybe an hour including geting screenshots.

I think I'm happy with it.

How about a mini-traveller?

That's really good. I wish I could get anti-aliasing on my PC.

Quote from JamesK :

Saying the wheels are to small at 15" is a misnomer, its the tyre height/width thats increased, not the diameter of the wheel.

That's what I meant when I said diameter.

Quote from pdanev :

Right, before everyone jumps on the bandwagon screaming how great these miniature edits look, I'd like to point out that in my opinion there is still a lot to improve on the miniature pictures. The topic we are talking about is generally known as Tilt Shift Photography which can be used for making miniature look alike picture.

I googled for a quick tutorial, and this one seems ok. The pictures that were posted here before I think suffer from a very sharp line between the heavily blurred area and the non blurred part. I think there should be a slight and smoother transition, as well as a tiny bit less blur.

You may want to look here, and see a lot of great examples of real life pictures. You can see that the blur does not have to be always so uber heavy, as well as it doesn't always have to be on top/bottom at same time.

Anyway, my 0.02$, I think it's worth checking the links, and try and improve those edits a bit.

It's really easy with real pictures but the screenshots in LFS are too sharp. Works very well with real photos.

You don't type like a dyslexic person. If you were dyslexic then you would have a lot of trouble understanding words too.

No, my brother is dyslexic, he understands words fine. He just can't spell very well.

Quote from XCNuse :

much better than your last, but you need to pick more.. visually pleasing places, places.. less boring

(with more stuff around than just grass)

I was just testing it out really.

It works better with real photos. Un-related to LFS but heres one I quickly did yesterday.

Trouble is, that in this country the Jeeps are the rubbish ones with small wheels (I'm guessing around 14-15" diameter wheels which are about 5 or so across).
If we could get large wheeled versions that would be great.

LFS_Noob was the one who didn't turn up, I didn't think he would; he's 14 i think.

@Xaidion

Still hasn't arrived.

Silly video.

Who was the youngest to attend?

Got another quick one here.

I put my resolution to full with his textures and was still running about the track with the full 60fps, no AI mind.

Mine, lol:

I was bored last night, so I quickly knocked up this XFG skin, I probably spent longer taking the screenshots.

Just a simple skin of a Civic TypeR; no sponsors, just a black bonnet.

I also put the resolution of my monitor up then made the images smaller to improve quality.
