Can someone render these 3 in one scene please? All facing forwards if possible. Thanks in advance

a garage is not that "easy" to make, a good one could take hours or even days

Quote from Vain :

m/s is a velocity, not an acceleration.
And 80.000 1/h is not a velocity.

(The only way to learn to use proper units is to be laughed at. )

Vain

wow....i will get laughed at by physics teachers if i put down what you wrote

Quote from NetDemon01 :

A1. Assuming you mean 80 km/hr (~22.22 m/s) and 8 m/s^2 for velocity and acceleration, respectively:

distance travelled = vt + .5at^2 = (22.22*10) + (.5*8*10*10) = 622.2 m

A2. Assuming 10m/s^2

(a)distance travelled = vt + .5at^2 = (0*10) + (.5*10*10*10) = 500 m
(b)can have several answers. You didn't state any time limit, so really the car could take 20 minutes to come to rest if the driver wants to, or a matter of seconds. You'd need to ask for a magnitude of "deacceleration" (which is still actually an acceleration ;-) ) to come to rest within so many seconds.

good job, netdemon, nice workings

one person got it rite at least, others either forgot about their high school studies or have no idea,

Quote from DaveWS :

I think he means this:

(b) the deceleration needed to bring the Formula XR to rest from the speed it gained after 10 seconds.

i did forget to put in the time to find deacceleration to bring the formula XR to rest, good to see you corrected it


and thanks to everyone who "tried" to answer the question

here's the question:

Q1. An driver in an XFR exits the first turn in an XFR on Blackwood GP at 80k/h. He then accelerated at 8m/s for 10 seconds, how far has he travelled during that period?

Q2. A Formula XR starts from rest with an acceleration of 10m/s , find (a) the distance travelled in 10s and (b) the deacceleration needed to bring the Formula XR to rest

I was looking back at some of my high school books today, and the physics textbook was quite interesting, so i decided to post two questions up on here, can you solve them?


cheers

okay the LX4 then, 1.3 inline 4

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Looks good. Any first render that looks anything like its supposed to is a good one

Now you can start playing with the materials and environment to start adding your own mark to the scenes. Try starting with ground and apply different materials from the default library to see how they are made and what effects they produce.

Here's the rim I made: http://www.freewebs.com/lpma/DriftRim.zip

Unfortunately the brake disc is something I've been working on for a while, so can't include it.

nice wheels!

why all xrts?, theres's other cars that looks better

Quote from joen :

The front tyre seems to penetrate the bodywork
BTW, if you want to get rid of the white window edges (and all the other white areas), there's a small white square with a black outline on the interior texture. Color the white part in photoshop or whatever and the window edges will take on that color.

sure, good idea

nice we will have sat nav in LFS now

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

yea yea stop showing off

my FPS is around 70-90, and when there's 20 cars on the track around me, i get 13 FPS!!!, LAG LIKE HELL

but be in mind im using all the high-res addon textures, on a P4 3.0 6600gt 2RAM

so 60 is fine

Quote from banister :

could someone please make a render of this... Thanks very much in advance

I see familiar number plate

Quote from DDM :

efast thx alot.. looks nice exept for the white stuff on the car.. but thx anbyway man

i didnt even see that bit before u mentioned it , damn you are down to every bit of detail hehe

LFS is much better than alot of other games, but crap games sell much more expensive than LFS even at 36 pounds UK (S3). The advantage is that if ur country's currency is high, such as Australia right now, A$0.80/US$1, it is realatively cheaper to buy, so you can only hope the economy grows so LFS becomes cheaper in ur currency

Quote from Davo :

It's also the sexiest car in LFS so I vote FZ5 hehe drifting is all about looking good

its similar/based on the porsche 911 design, so it does look very good

also go for a try in the RA for drifting, with cold/warm air flowing onto your face, its a much better experience

i liked the response, very detailed and really from a good personal feel, respect

Quote from mikey_G :

....If you just jerk the car around the track and you're more then 4 seconds slower then the wr I wouldn't recommend you to go on the track.

i know exactly what you mean

Quote from mikey_G :

....Best thing I can recommend you is buying a good racing technique book

hmm where can i get "good racing technique books"? i would love to read them!

cheers
