That's just my thought after watching this video ... that looks so LFS'ish.


... dont take it too serious 'cause I think those rocketeering up the sky is the only feature I hate in LFS.

Quote from deggis :

Pretty useless website. "Note: All clips are currently offline, but they are available upon request."

But that other link was great.

Yeah. I realised taht a bit after puting it here. Online links are on the forum and are not that interesting unfortunatelly

Here are some classic F1 and other class racing videos. Mostly crashes and breaking moments of the history. Anyone easily offended dont get in - some shocking moments.

Another videos of dark side of motorsports:

I can't find the thread about real cars that could be put in S3 the same way as MRT or Raceabout . I've found a project of small company doing Morgan-like fast roadsters. It's not that popuar so I think the licence wouldn't be a problem, since the company is in developement and only selling 20 cars a year and trying to increase that number.

"4D Sports Driving" is known as "Stunts" in pC version.
Here's the link for abandonware site where you can download the game legaly:

Nothing else to add. Just realised that there is no game that simulates huge american muscle car racing <really sad :sadbanana> ... apart from Toca 2 and 3, but they seem too arcadish unfortunatelly.

The only car class in LFS I'm dreaming about is Trans Am' racing vehincles from 68 - 72 (there was supposed to be a game "Trans Am' 68-72" but was cancelled , .... bastards). Just look at them ....


... aren't they beatiful ? :lovies3d::bowdown::sleep1:

System reqs would not change, since DirectX 9.0 effects could be easily turned off. There is difference between 8.0 and 9.0 in definition - 9.0 is supprort for Shaders 2.0 and 3.0. DX 8.0 is usage of 1.0 shaders. As far as I know.

However I would very likely see effects like Paralax Lightning, Depth smooth and some motion blur. They are quite easy to implement.

I realise that the course have to end in the same place where it start co I think the course would look like some NFS1/2/3/4 courses. Well I don't have anything against it.

When I'm racing with my friend we're always talking on Skype the same time. But It's only the solution for group of friends you know already. However I think VOIP on the same server with LFS would be more laggy so it's not the good idea. I was playing Soldier of Fortune 2 MP and a lot servers from my country had VOIP channels on other servers. When I was logging in the ip of the Talkserver was on the screen. Same could be done in LFS.

What is your graphic card? LFS is running even on old Riva TNT 2 (25 fps when no car visible), so I think either you don't have drivers installed or you have smth below the Riva

Thanks Spurs.

Great job

Could someone please render this skin?
My first skin ever, so tell me if you like it.

I updated the first post and here's the screen from new version of textures, they are not that dark even a bit lighter than orginal ones.

New download:

You get rid of Drive-Through penalty by getting into a pit section and ... driving it through

How come we still have Alpha version and have Beta testers?

I've just downloaded the first available old version of LFS (additional downloads -> old versions). Am I the only one who think GT model in that one looked a lot like '8x Camaro. I must admit I like it much better.

OMGLOL

Thx. I forgot to look in options menu

Thanks man My LFS loading time is normal again

errr. NO.

old one:
BWnewroad.dds -> 524 416 bytes
new one:
BWnewroad.dds -> 5 592 560 bytes

Simillar with BWoldroad,BWralydirt,BWgravel ....

I see they are uncompressed at all. They all have the same size. I see nothing can be done about it if this format have no compression.

... but they are 10x bigger.

It's true - lines are too dark. I have to finish my Database Structures project (studies) and then I'll make some improvements.


BTW anyone have any idea how to shrink those DDS files?

Now everything's ok.

Devs should implement the swinging of the key-hanging like in the video too
