Someone mentioned that there are no races? Not a single one...

I loved the whole thing in the first game, although the race wasn't that enjoyable, and somehow i blindly expected this to be a part of the new one too...

I mean what's the point of making an advanced driving model and then not even support wheels (or am i missinformed?).

There you go (attachent). I dont know how much you know, but there are templates around made by Bunta, a guy from the foum i lnked you to. There, or here in the very forum, you can find them to download. They include a wireframe and each of the paintable areas are seperated into layers.

For more comfort to check your skins, you can download the skin viewer

Good Luck

Doh, I've just seen a test and it pretty much reveals that there is not much to do besides the missions, which wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for races - there will be no god damn race!

Quote from 5tag :

The way millimeters of steering input indicate massive oversteer an waving looks totally dumb.

Yeah hilarious, isn't it. If PD puts them out like this, handling like a limousine with suspension, shame on them :P

+1 for prober buggy and a reasonable cross tracks

Wait a second.. red and yellow don't go along well? I think it looks just fine.

Besides they could always put some black on the Duc.

:detective

Quote from Uke :

The more important point is that the cars are not fun to drive.

Correct would be, that you don't like the cars then.

You have to remember that the cars back then were a lot heavier (no Alu or CF) and had a tyre-width half (heck even a 3rd) of what the tyres of today have, which simply means, that alone, provides half the grip.

E: doh, site refresh ftw.

Quote from jibber :

GTA does it better. I'm out of here... :hide:

Do you seriously expect hardcore physics a la Netkar/LFS/iRacing?

Mafia 2 / Dice got the handling of the cars back then, pretty much down awesomely.

"GTA does it better..." Arcade - yes, Simulation - nope.

PS: yes, i saw what you're doing there, you're trolling [etals:]

PPS: Uke too

don't worry smove... not tomorrow

Quote from Uke :

Well I have tried it in Sim Mode, yes you can drift but the car still feels very odd and the damage isn't so great either. The best arcade game driving physics IMO is in GTA IV.

Ye, well, that's the point of a simulation mode; to be less arcadishke.

And another thing is that the cars are totally different to the type of cars in GTA - they're old.

I just hope the wheel will be recognised. Driving with keyboard is just freaking annoying (for obvious reasons)

Oh, i forgot to mention, there is a pre-made numberplate PSD-file that includes all LFS logos. I don't have it anymore, since i always make them myself, but you can find the logos and other stuff here.

PS: please don't edit existing skins or at least ask the creator. It's usually written on the skin file

Well, skins are jpg files. Everything can be customized. All you need is a graphics program.

If you can't make it on your own, just make a request. Provide as many infos of what you want and you'll get it done.

Quote from Daviddabest :

JazzOn = are you ok to do a test with me on a track? (ill park side by side with you?)

Tomorrow afternoon maybe, but i'm running a E8400 (3ghz). So that might have quite an influence.. somewhat. I'll be online or on the forum

Sad to read this. My condolence !

R.I.P.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I'm guessing the damage is turned off for floor shows like this one..

It's not only about damage, I'm afraid. If you lean onto another car it would unstabalise it too... It's something that has always been wrong in GT (of course sometimes very helpful tho xD) and it seems not gotten any much better.

But yeah, smoke is very nice indeedly, but i reserve my comment about that untill we see LFS' "new" smoke (cus of more volume since the whole tyre will burn)

umm, but you still can use other cars as a barrier to get by and smoke disapears very quick sadly =(

The tyre sounds are still bad too, it seems. Why the hell can't they get it somewhat right ?

Reflections and models are indeed delicious, though.

Quite Nice

The sand looks very good - got to try this at some time.

Quote from Inouva :

mmm, gona be flamed for this, but this pic is a bit "Cruelty", if you know the rest of the video or the pics....

I got to agree on this - not funny at all !!

PS: lol at jack nicholson

They might be old... The interiors were completely remodeled some time ago.

What lfs needs is more interressting tracks; more character (less Tilke/FIA-massive-run-offareas-deserted) tracks.

I just did racing on mid-ohio track in iRacing and it's awesomeness. Some very interessting and challenging corners.

not my video but onboard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLfoRGK14c

It's hard to see every mistakes just from angled screenshots. Will it be private skin or do you plan to make it public?

By the looks of it, it is quite good.

Maybe the yellow colour tone could have a tad more red in it. The vroom-logo on the front bumper definitely does It's barely visible in this light yellow.

The BFgoodridge logo on the side-door is overlapping the edges, if you know what i mean.

That's all for now

Quote from jrd.racer :

Should I remove it then?

Yes! Quick! Hurrrry!!

...and remove the link in speeds sig too.

:drummer:

<-- XP SP3, 460gtx 1gb

Did you guys mod LFS somehow? SO, full grid, onboard last car, i have 55fps.

I just installed my new 460. If you still on your 500w PSU try a better one, i guess. I am running a 550w coolermaster and it seems to be fine...

Other then that, only thing i do is using tweakforce nvidia drivers, although i doubt that it would make much of a difference in your case, but they seem to be always great (besides they are much 'lighter')

PS. just for my interest, which is your manufactor (mine gigabyte) and did you need to plug 2 power cables in?

Quote from C40Z :

Nice, expect for the yokohma on the rear bumper which is screwd.

Who you gonna call?
