Quote from Viperakecske :So,did i? Cool

Well, for the track limit standards consistent in this race series, NO, in my opinion. Smile
Eric

That was a very entertaining race!
I didn't catch the live stream but I watched the Youtube replay. Then I HAD to download the LFS replay to see if Gabor violated the track limits with that last lap dive!Big grin
Eric
Developer
Impressive and very professional work!

I'm loving the high standards you've acheived so far. Good luck with the texturing.Smile

OK, Ive updated the original post and removed the car manufacturers logos.

They are legal for the track adverts but not for modded cars content.

Sorry about that.
Eric
Developer
I think it will be OK to use the updated logos.

I can't imagine these companies wouldn't want their latest logos to be seen ingame.
Eric
Developer
That's a good point.

I think we'd better not, because although we have the use of the logo, we don't have the LEGAL use of the familiar looking intelectual property of the car design to go along with that logo, if that makes sense.

Best not to go down that rabbit hole. Smile

OK, Thanks!

That's fixed in my version.

Thanks for finding that.

I'm having a hard time trying to pinpoint that bug in my version.

Could you please place a marker like you did before, but this time take a screen shot zoomed out so that it shows the surrounding track area, please? Thanks!

Quote from Flotch :I was wondering Eric : as you came to deal seriously with the RB4 design, don't you plan to make a race version while you are at it in aim to master the rallyx tracks Shy ?

We hadn't planned to make a GTR version of the RB4 because we already had the FXO GTR. I mean, we CAN do it but the next tasks for me is to finish the updated tracks before I focus on updating the other cars.

But let's face it, the way we're seeing the default LFS cars being modded, I'm sure an RB4 GTR or rallycross version will pop up somewhere. Big grin

Quote from Bose321 :Great to see it gone public. Focus is now again on new track updates and physics and graphics?

Yes. Smile

Quote from lfsrm :Oh nice update! very clean modeling as usual Thumbs up, must looks very cool with the new graphics update.

Thanks lfsrm! It looks a bit "modelled by hand" in a lot of places, so there's potential for it to look cleaner. But that's hard to do without some tools to make it easier

Quote from lfsrm :Personally I prefer the logo to be a little bit smaller.

Understood. I tried to scale the logo down but when the vertices get too small the Editor complains.
I might have to think about other solutions.

Quote from Tazka :Looks very nice overall. Only thing that bothers me is the lfs logo on the steering wheel. It looks kinda tacky compared to the rest of the interior. I think it would be nicer if it was completely circular and engraved on to the wheel. Or then no logo at all.

Yeah, the logo looks a bit bling compared to the rest of the cockpit. I'll try muting the shine and darken it a bit.

Quote from superlame :This thing and probably some other buttons are not mirrored when you are LHD , ofc on RHD it looks ok.

Thanks.
Not quite sure what to do about that yet. I'll look into it.

Thanks, Scawen. That's been fixed.

Quote from MandulAA :New RB4: keyhole object at the back is not visible in-game (left: editor, right: in-game; both W56)

(great work on it though, looks really detailed now!)

Thanks for finding that. I've fixed that in my version.

Quote from Evolution_R :I see there are double sided windows now, but it's darker when you look outside, other cars are not like that, was this intended? Maybe the front window should not be darker from inside.

It was intentional, actually. Scawen has noted the same glass darkness issue, so I've now made the glass single sided.

Quote from Latvian Video :I am doing a patty wagon replica, basically a burger on wheels. So far it is going well, but lots of things need to be changed.

Nice Big grin

It Looks like you need a low poly physics LOD to stop it from falling underground.

What's the 0-60mph for the burger?

Quote from rockclan :Scawen, is it me or is the numberplate on the new RB4 not centered by choice? It's so much to the left, you'd expect some decal to be on the right.


Thanks for finding that bug.

It's fixed now.

I have to say, lfsrm, I'm pretty impressed with the car design and the speed of your progress so far! For constructing a fictional car, you really have a natural feel for it.

Car interiors can be fiddly to build without any frame of reference, but I've found that viewing your progress in VR can help.

I'm watching this project with interest. Smile

I will correct that too, kagurazakayukari.
Thankyou for your help.

Quote from kagurazakayukari :
First of all thanks Eric, new Kyoto Ring looks magnificent!

"XR Autosport"banner have been changed, however from the screenshots that posted, I find the kanji on them still confusing.

They are:
  • XR Autosport
    XRモーターカー スボーツ

  • Advanced Motoring Group
    アドバンスド モータードライビング クラプ

  • ENGEXX Turbo
    ターボ 工学

  • Kyoto Suspension Systems
    懸濁液 競技場
So let's fix it~

XR Autosport
XRモーターカー スボーツ
XR is good, also sport.
But モーターカー usually means small railroad maintenance vehicle in Japan.
See me (Yellow one)

So what should Auto translate to?
オートor a word we familar with:自動車.Thumbs up
XR Autosport
XRオートスボーツ
- XR otto supottsu


Advanced Motoring Group
アドバンスド モータードライビング クラプ
モータードライビング appears to mean "motor driving", but I can only see from a classic car driving tour. Could be モータリング.
クラプ means either club or, well...crap, depend on original word.Omg omg omg Should be グループ.
Advanced Motoring Group
アドバンスド モータリング グループ
- adobannsudo mottarinngu guruppu


ENGEXX Turbo
ターボ 工学
ターボ of course means turbo.
工学? Engineering. So what does "engineering turbo" means lolRazz
So ENGEXX should be translated directly from the Japanese exonyms: エンゲックス
ENGEXX Turbo
エンゲックス ターボ
- enngekkusu tabbo


Kyoto Suspension Systems
懸濁液 競技場
This should be the most funny one both in Japanese and Chinese(Japanese Kanji and Chinese HanZi are similar)Tilt
懸濁液 means Suspension liquid. Big grin 競技場 means stadium and I have no idea why it related to word "system"...Shrug
So all wrong. Correct one:サスペンション システム
As for Kyoto, It could be 京, or 京都 as a city name.Wave
Kyoto Suspension Systems
京 サスペンション システム
- kyoto sasupennsyonn shisutemu

As the "湖 京都 競技場" sticked at the starting light area of KY3 (0.6U/V), Lake, Kyoto, Stadium. And there are indeed lakes there.

Thank you very much! Thumbs up That's very helpful. Smile

Well in fictional terms, they are both difficult to make because of the design trial and error process.

Real cars and tracks are easier and quicker to make because they've already been designed by someone else. All the artist has to do is copy what they see.

Tracks take much longer to make than cars wether they're fictional or not.

Hope that helps.

Quote from Racon :Absolutely stunning, nice job guys Thumbs up

Apologies for bringing questions, and I don't know how much headache it is to do this, but would it be possible to do the same to AU? Currently ground level is zero, which means no objects can be sunk into the ground. (A lot of our old bangers layouts rely on this)

Why do you need objects to sink into the ground on AU? Just curious.
