I am thinking a petition for the bbc to bring back fleetwood mac should be started

Good news though, the adverts annoy the hell out of me, although do mean toilet breaks if you drink too much while watching the race lol.

Dynamic Racing skins in both 1024 and 2048. Sorry for the delay, I have just finished making it.

Still very interested but can't confirm just yet. It is really dependant on job and when I book my summer hol

Quad biking sounds good too, was at it last weekend Great fun.

Bit late here but one of those unexpected family visits everyone hates lol.

Yes, Dynamic Racing has made it to its birthday, it seems to have gone by so quick but then times flies when your having fun. There have been some ups and downs as in any team but more ups than downs so that is good
DR has grown over the past year into a team I am proud to be in and be leader of, though it seems to run itself We have been racing and having fun in black and orange and will continue to do so
Making it to 1 year is a milestone in any team but I like to think we have achieved alot too, with drivers doing well in GFC, GTTC and entering into IGTC. Also we have managed to get 2 WR's, which is unbelievable really, those aliens are just weird and to find you have some racing you too

This is to 1 year of Black and Orange and to another year too come.

Simply put-

Racing: Driving a car as fast as possible on the edge of grip around a race track

Drifting: Sliding a car, with as much angle and speed as possible.

I race alot but I do drift occasionally and I find both fun. I am really unbiased when it comes to motorsport as I will watch any sport as long as it comes with engines and wheels (and sometimes sports with no wheels) but people enjoy different things, Some people like football, rugby, basketball, baseball, motor racing racing etc - Why? Who knows its just a personal opinion. The thing is about opinions is that no one is right or wrong on them but this forum still seems to argue about them lol.

I'm using CATIA V5 which i got from.............. somewhere

HAHA! Amazing how many people get it from the same place.

Quote from JO53PHS :

I'm not too sure but eventually something to do with cars

Depends what you mean by something to do with cars. Do you mean for a personal side, say 3ds max modelling and rendering cars or more as a future career. I can only speak from the career point of view with my main knowledge being CATIA V5 (R13 onwards if your interested) Alot of car firms use CATIA, even small companies who I didn't think would. It is a big (maybe even go as far as huge) program with so many options, settings and things to do etc that learning on your own IMO would be difficult but maybe possible.

Quote from Hankstar :

Shit, that would have been sick. I'd still see 'em live, no worries there. I'm afraid they'd just play too much new crap

Not read this whole thread but, I saw them last year on the sick of studio tour and they played all the fans favorites - master of puppets, sad but true, nothing else matters, no leaf clover, fuel, one, seek and destroy, creeping death, memory remains etc. Was awesome, only thing I didn't like was it was at the new wembley which doens't make that good a venue really.

Those new songs almost sound a bit rough, like they have got the 90% of it sorted but they havn't done the fine tweaking. I love their older stuff more (motorbreath being fav song) and initially I wasn't so keen on St. Anger but i have all their songs on my mp3 player and if you have it on random the st anger songs are close to their older 'thrash metal' days and it has grown on me.

Why do u always ask that do you skin for a living?

One off skins for fun or one off requests ok but work it out.

1 quality skin take a minimum of 4 hours.
4 hours x 19 cars = 76 hours minimum skinning time or the same amount the average person works in 2 weeks.

Quote from mr_x :

Greboth, thanks for the offer.

If the image linked in post #2 in this thread is good enough I might have to take you up on it.

Unfortunately that image is about as good as I can find from anywhere!

It is good enough for the basic design, but I can't make out the shading on the letters and the splat that well.

Quote from Bean0 :

It's just after xmas, so the shops should be full of them by now so people don't forget about easter :rolleyes:

Be very careful unwrapping and scan it ?

I did think about that lol, been ages since I had a creme egg so might buy one

If you can find an image that has enough detail (angle doesn't matter) that shows off the shading on the yellow 'splat' and purple writing then I can make you one

To be honest, for me people can say what they like and believe what they like as long

1. They don't try and make me believe what they believe. I have a mind of my own and will believe what I want.

2. Sue your ass off for saying one bad thing against them.

Scientology to me seems crazy and stupid but if anyone wants to believe in it then fine, as long as reasons 1 and 2 don't come in to it.

Quote from Jakg :

WHAT?! I paid £5 (per person) as a student rate - It's £7 for an adult

That is expensive, cinema by me is £5.30 for an adult, reduced to £3.50 for a student and buy one get one free with vouchers off the internet so £1.75 per ticket

I could go through the trouble of downloading a film or getting an illegal copy another way but to be honest with the cinema being that cheap then I just go the cinema. Also as someone complained earlier about seats uncomforable etc, it is a nice cinema, comfortable seats, usually about 10 minutes of adverts and unless it is the first couple of nights a big film comes out, relativly empty

Nice to see your keeping it going

Good luck in finding some good and nice drivers.

There are a fair few, seems alot of karters. Tristan does obviosly too. Most well known I know of is Mike Jordan who seems to be a serial tin top racer Though there are probably many more.

Quote from R3DMAN :

so you have an engine that will rev up to 13k.. and you put a limiter on it to 7K...

whats the point in that?

Its not though, the limiter is set to 13,000 but the shift indicator tells you when to change for the best shift time. If you didn't shift then you could rev it higher. Only reason optimum shift point is so low is the mrt uses a restrictor in the intake system (and tristan said lower compression) which alters the torque and power curves but un restriced engine could easily rev to the 13k.

Count me in Hopefully will be able to afford insurance by then so should be easy enough to get too

Quote from STROBE :

...

That could indeed be difficult, so buy a g25 then lol

Quote from bbman :

I'm lost for words, really...
Like I said last time (those FCV-wars), many people in the community just love all those unrealistic bits they've grown so fond of in the last years, they forgot to embrace changes for what they are: improvements...

Stalling the engine is an improvement, but I agree with strobe. Stalling = great improvement but if it was to the point of you must have (or buy) a g25 or another 3 pedal wheel then it would force alot of people to stop playing. So I don't think anyone is saying it isn't an improvement just small concessions have to be there to reach the wider audience.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

The problem I see is that the 'hardcore' sim racers are considered to be the ones who spend hundreds on the best wheel, then make their own little cockpit to sit in. I find your attitude about the whole thing quite disturbing to be honest, you think just because someone doesn't know the racing line and braking points they just shouldn't own the game? It stinks of elitism.

Agreed. Nothing more to say.

Haha very nice loving the sound of it too

Look forward to if and when you release the tweak

I do think it is has some value to teams recruiting but it isn't the be all and end all. As Tristan put it it really comes down to the driver.
IMO stats can be of some value, if you are a team looking to recruit someone then if they have 1 online race and very slow pb's then I would question how long the have had lfs and if for some time then it suggests they do not race online much. Conversly if someone has 100,000 miles and a pb on nearly every combo within a few tenths of WR times. Mileage alone doesn't mean anything but all the stats together do have some value Though the only true way to see is race them

Quote from ChaseMe :

So how does it all work? If I'm using hi-res others can see it I assume. If I'm online I'll see people with Hi-res etc?

It is just when you download skins to your skins x folder they used to be 512x512 but now if you credit your account you can use that money to 'buy' the higher res skin downloads (1024 x 1024)

I don't use the horn alot but sometimes i do use it. I usually use it as a warning or a little sign of annoyance. If someone is moving the outside for the next corner and I am slightly along side and it is getting really close I do pip the horn to remind them I am there, more so when racing people I don't know. The annoyance is when some hits me or similar, not enough to warrent a sorry but just as a little "oi" message.

Not had mine a year only ~ 10 months or so but i wil post anyway.

Can't say anything that hasn't been said. The shifter does seem a bit flimsy but the wheel and pedals top notch. Buttons is a problem as i was used to my dfp with buttons galore on the wheel but soon got used to not having them. All in all cost, IMO, a fiar chuck of money for a game controller but it is a very good wheel.

I entered the end of the first season and signed up full of hope to complete this one. I recently started a new job which means I do not get home until around 7pm which is obviously too late to race.

Good luck to everyone else who is taking part

Woo hoo go me, not won one in a while. Wonder how many people had to look back the picture though to get my caption

Heres a new one
