Quote from NotAnIllusion :Demo racers want everyone to see their skin, now that the skin download works for them too. They can't upload skins to LFSW, so they get licensed racers to do this for them.

But they are someone else's skins and they no longer have their original file names?

What's being achieved in this thread? Are we seeing other people's skins renamed and requests made for them to be uploaded to LFS World?

If so, that's really poor form.

If not, please correct me by providing a logical explanation as to what is actually going on here.

Thanks.

Yep, deal with it at Redline or else use this topic. Thanks mate.

Quote from thisnameistaken :
What annoys me is trying to get on a bloody roundabout when half the people using it are giving the wrong signals.

Indeed, and because of that (and despite the law) the safest place to be is in the left lane, and with no indicator!

Quote from Flame CZE :Nothing but demo racer wants its reversed direction.

Sorry, but it is different than it was. And also the OP is an S2 licensed player.

Quote from amp88 :Sigh.

What I'm saying is this: the Improvement Suggestions subforum is full of user-submitted suggestions of how to improve LFS. A lot of those suggestions have a lot of backing from members of the community. Why don't the dev team take those into account rather than creating a new car?

It's a fair question. The reason they took on the car is because the opportunity arose to take it on. The alternative would have been to lose the opportunity. The improvement suggestions section is also full of suggestions about wanting new cars, and real cars too.

It's likely that the BF1 and the FBM took development time away from other areas as well when they were an opportunity to be taken, or not.

I think it made good sense all 'round to take the opportunity to include the VWS. It's not ideal for everyone, but it's a win all the same.

Quote from Stew2000 :I'm sure if LFS had the old Civic Type-R you would see even more people.

Yes, it would have brought more girls to the game.

In my country, by the age of six, if you can't down 2 pints in 30 seconds they lop off ya willy and give you a girl's name.

Post skins here for the: VWS

RULES:
  1. ONLY Post Finished Skins
  2. If you have a screenshot, please post the skin file also (not a requirement, but would be nice).
  3. Try to keep the chatter to a minimum, new people are viewing this thread to find themselves a nice skin, they don't need to scroll through pages of text to finally find something. If you want to comment on someone's skin, that is fine, but please... everyone is exploring their own creativity and personal tastes, so be supportive.
Thank You, and happy skinning! :cool:

Christmas is inspiring. Next year I'm going to join the festivities by stripping as many people of their money as I possibly can. Now that's true Christmas spirit!

Look out for my new book: "Joseph, Father or Pimp?". Only $9.95.

And stay tuned for the sequel due next Chrissie. The working title is "Marketing the Martyr-ing" and it comes with a ten point December retail market analysis booklet called "Santa's Cross". The booklet will hit the shelves for $114.96 and the main 730 page volume will be thrown in for free (but only if you order now!).

Quote from The Very End :I don't agree that some silly wrecking should be enough to perm ban a player from LFS.

Of course such repeated behaviour deserves a permanent ban from LFS. There's no difference between a wrecker and a cheater.

As for judgement, we all have the right to make judgements on any other player's behaviour and act accordingly within our own jurisdiction.

The OP's post was well-meaning enough and you certainly shouldn't be the judge of how he chooses to express himself on the fourms. You've been rude and condescending, and for no good reason.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Ok Scawen - I didn't realise that posting that link would cause my post to be removed! :slap:

It was actually your ban earlier today that caused the issue as far as I can tell. Unfortunately the ban didn't stick due to some glitch and I suppose it wiped out your list. You also received a short term ban a week or so earlier which must have had the same effect.

The offending post was removed by myself and is not a forum issue. The underlying problem is actually a behavioural issue which I trust you will endevour to remedy in the very near future.

Quote from dennisw :i'd like to see ''blind the people on the opposite direction''(xenon) lights(real workin ones),

looks fun to me

This is the improvement suggestions section of the forum. Encouraging people to drive in the wrong direction while blinding their fellow racers with headlights can not conceivably be considered an improvement to this race sim.

Please think before you post. If you have a genuine improvement suggestion or idea we'd love to hear it.

Quote from 5haz :
However, Geoff Crammond's GP1 is the most realistic sim ever, because it is scientifically proven that everything is always better 'in the old days', and seeing as GP1 was the first sim nearly everyone owned, that makes it the most realistic of 'em all.

I think Crammond's second attempt was actually an improvement over GP1, but I'll also vouch for these two sims as being way ahead of their time. A better F1 sim has not yet been made (except graphically, of course).

The NFS votes (and its inclusion in the poll) definitely go a long way towards diminishing the average IQ of LFS forum-goers.

Scary stuff men. Even in jest it's scary. :eek:

I have a similar history to the OP, except that I got a job working in an arcade which led to a job doing minor repairs on coin mech's and board changes on tabletop and cabinet games and pinball machines. Electronic gaming has really been in my blood since pre-Space Invader times. I've been using PC's since about early '94. I abandoned consoles about 7 years ago, but I have played from time to time on friend's consoles.

I still prefer the PC for various reasons.
Although it isn't so much of an issue now, console games in the past have been geared mainly towards kids and early teens. That has often meant that the games held little or no appeal to me. I've also never liked many Nintendo games, and that goes back way before Nintendo ever made a console. I still have trouble liking games created by Nintendo.
I despise menus in console games. I think console games don't have enough buttons. I prefer a PC keyboard to a game pad. Apart from these gripes I think consoles have their advantages in some ways, but not many. Perhaps the best thing about consoles is that you plonk yourself down on the couch next to a mate, pick up the controller and hop into some multiplay action within seconds. These days the console games are reasonably portable too.

Boys like gadgets and hardware, and I like to build, upgrade and tweak PCs. Tweaking consoles is fun too, but the limitations are greater.
I do believe that consoles are evolving nicely, but they haven't quite made the grade for this consumer. Lastly, consoles are over-priced, as are console and PC games. Way too expensive for what you get.

Quote from Becky Rose :The accuracy of the physics simulation is only important whilst it is the only aspect that is simulated.

Does that mean that you think the accuracy of the physics becomes unimportant once other things are simulated? I'm having trouble believing that is what you are trying to say.

Quote from Becky Rose :
The tyre physics in LFS are more than adequate. Anyone who argues they are not 'perfect' is clearly missing the point.

There is no argument here, the tyre physics in LFS are not yet adequate. Of course they will never be perfect, but a tyre that heats up too fast then deteriorates too fast is not adequate, especially when the alternative choice is a tyre that doesn't ever reach operating temp and therefore never realises a decent level of grip in the first place.

Quote from Becky Rose :In real racing my car can and will handle totally differently at the start of a stint to the end. Therefore the way the tyres 'feel' is a moot point.

On the contrary, the way the tyres feel is the whole point if you want dynamically changing conditions and tyre wear.

But anyway, I think your OP has a 'duh factor' of ten. I can't see anything that you have suggested that any serious sim developer hasn't thought of maybe a thousand times already. Most of the things you have suggested seem to be things that any dev would include in their sim if they had the means to do so, but not neccessarily with the priority that you demand.

Quote from sam93 :All the other skins/cars are fine, just apart from this skin. I was using it online at team night to show team mates and they also said there was no shine to it.

Is it a JPG file that you made or a DDS file?

Quote from Indiana Jim :Does anyone know if there are any registry settings that may need to be modified?

I'm pretty sure LFS writes nothing to the Windows registry at all.

Quote from Joe_Keaveney :How closely do tyre dynamics need to be explored?

Much more closely, if current sim tyres are anything to go by.

Personally, I'd like it increased. I don't care much about why it was reduced either, as I don't see any big problem with increasing it.

Anyhow, it's just another opinion lost in the soup that is the LFS forum. :cry:

Decals or graphics placed on the side skirts won't match up exactly either.
