Thanks for the comments people.
Davo, the engine sound is standard. The distortion makes the thing sound a bit meaner, but the trade-off is a bit of dcrackling.

Yeah, it just turned out like that. I'm sure there is a reason for it, but I haven't investigated. From mucking around, I found the distortion sounds great in some cars and not so good in others e.g. F08.

P1 - P4.
Not for long though...

Just a movie of a lap or 2 at SO.
On board and external shots.
Car sound and not music.

Quote from Gabkicks :

yeah that was pretty good only big problem i noticed was the jerky cam at around the 1:30 mark.

I have a 50 fps version which I'll upload later on.

Quote from Gabkicks :

could you throw something together for me of my hotlap? spr is on lfsworld.

Sure, I'll give it a whirl.
I also was thinking of doing one for the F08/SO combo (which I totally suck at driving). Do you have a good spr for that?

On the sound thing, yep it's distortion.

Well I did one anyway.
It's very hastily put together. I mainly wanted to see how it turned out and I quite like it over all.

I agree. Very nice audio/visual journeyof motorsport goodness.
I think it would have been further enhanced by some occasional external shots.

I always like knowing what's happening outside the car too.

Quote from Hankstar :

... all the while proclaiming each subsequent war to be a war against evil, or terror, or tyranny, or some other thing that's apparently able to give the strongest and best-armed nation in the world the willies, but each one just ending up with a lot of dead kids and grieving parents from both sides. But it's ok, just declare another spookily Orwellian flag-waving day to distract everyone from all those pesky corpses and everything'll be fine.

So, roadside IEDs detonated from a distance to ambush soldiers or high-explosive bombs dropped at Mach 1 from 30,000 feet against no credible opposition - it's not really clear-cut which method of anonymous murder is the most cowardly.

Well posted Hankstar. You've articulated the futility of war, and the role of fear campaigns and propaganda very well here.

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Now I'm already looking forward to the modding capabilities of GTA And I pray for interior view driving and smarter traffic. I enjoy GTA the most with wheel and pedals set up and interior view mod, cruising around!

I'm not really sure why you would want to do this, as the controls are completely optimised for a console gamepad and not a wheel.

In fact, I'm not sure why you would want to even play this game on a PC at all. The game is designed for consoles; leaning back on the couch and going postal for hours on end. Just as it should be.

The PC is designed for in depth sims, strategy and FPS. Let the consoles have their time in the sun with the awesomeness that is the GTA franchise.

Get a wheel and stick to the demo until you can afford S2.
It's just not right to play this game without a wheel.

Alfred's ill-conceived 'Car Hat' was as predicted, impractical.

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :

So, do you enjoy the fact that the people playing LFS are from all over the world?

Honestly, it's one of the the biggest reasons I'm drawn to this community.
If only more of them were online at the same time as me...

Ween

Easily the greatest band eva.

What a great advertisement for the game. Should be the intro.

Yes, it's a great album.
I can't believe it's almost a decade old now.

And, thanks for the comments everyone.

Quote from squad_e :

I wanted to see this one, the links are dead man.. Sort it out! .

I think the link is older than Shaun.

Quote from atledreier :

Is that 'Propellerheads'?

You're right. The the song is - 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'

It's a bit longer than normal for me, but I tried to build it up to some sort of climax.

Hope you enjoy.

Nice! I love the Commodore Cup. Entertaining and close racing.
I'll keep an eye out for you on Speed Week.
