In my oppinion, lfs should have a DX8 and DX9 version, bit like the Valve Source engine (Half life2, Css etc) which can use about 4 different DX versions.

they will be fast if you only test fast tracks.

try fe club or as cadet

-1 lfs is allready for low end pc's its Directx 8.

i noticed it too, i kept quiet tho as i thaught.. hold on whats goin on here i didnt buy more slots or anything special lol

good work as allways

Quote from MAGGOT :

+1 for AutoX

+1 again here for autoX




And, i allso think there should be a pit stop made here on this part of aston (see pictures) so that there can be another combination a bit like aston cadet, a small combination but really good since i played aston iv allways thaught it would make a brilliant combination

Hello there

This layout i made early 2006 and over the past 18 months iv edited the track here and there and the other night i made another version of the track which now has a double/tripple? apex and a sweeper etc

The tracks fairley wide in parts which isnt a bad thing for 2/3 wide racing as there wont be as many crashes etc.
You can use pretty much any car on this layout and it is still verry good for racing imo
The track from the Lyte picture doesnt look half as good as it drives, plus its a challenge to make a setup for the track aswell
the start works aswell, so you can fit alot of cars on the track.

my best lap so far is a 30.17 in the fox and a 24.97 in the bf1 (iv only done about 15 laps or so)
the speed of the bf1 is imence you can really give it some power around this track

watch out for the last turn, compaired to all of the other fast corners you have to get the entry good as your going into it faster than pretty much any other corner iv had alot of good battles on the last corner in the past year its the oldest corner on the track.
and be carefull of the left hander it catches me out every time, its sharpish but its the only left hander so its a slippy corner for setup testing.
And it allso has a pitroad entry/exit requested by SkeeTer who joined my server last night wilst testing

allso a little video i made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4xiIzZn1_I
sorry cant see alot on the video because of Crappy youtube

Enjoy

If you would like to post your best lap times then go ahead imsure some one can beat me, and when they do ill get practicing i know i can go alot faster

Quote from Highsider9 :

@Jimmy_Lemon: Try to use "Radial Blur" for the tires, it provides better looking results.

i did, but i stupidly skew'd them to the angle first instead of radial bluring them befor i resized the logos for the tyres

and btw kar, id of took it at 2560x1600 if i was at my dads but hes away down south atm so im stuck on a 22" lcd at me mums :P

bit of Fox at WestHill just cleaned it up abit compaired to the origonal and added some blur above the wheels bit like f1 cars and blured the background etc

Well, you see, it`s like this. I was lounging about on the sofa one night, and i think it musta fallen down the back behind a cushion, and I forgot to look for it until you just mentioned it.

On the other hand I may just have left it alone for a while as a lot of the textures in the autox/drag tracks are shared with some of the other tracks, which Kar has been updating a lot lately. Now this pack is out, I should be able to get back into it soon enough. Hopefully along with all the other stuff that`s been started and almost but not quite finished.

Well, i can give you a hand if you want mate, i remade fern bay somewhere with a sandy effect

btw, any news on when AutoX will be done, its been about 6 months now lol

and btw kar There are other tiny improvements that no-one will really notice at all.
iv noticed on aston the road surface is different and the curbs. etc btw the compair of shot you made of them side by side, i pfer the ones on the left, there alot higher res? i thaught they was the newest

Quote from unseen :

What? that new rusty bridge that`s showing in the top right of the screenshots you posted.... :P

o well it must be in there then

btw the birdcrap on the bridge iv not noticed that befor haha

i have re-downloaded the sperate aston pack from a few pages back to compare the difference


and now im going to have to find the highest res/newest out of both packs so i know which to use lol


btw, you know your new bridge for aston, the walk bridge which is rusty, i dont think thats in the 117mb pack ether

same as above ^

well made video etc, i think some times racing does go a little too far which causes somthing bad to happen but i guess thats just the name of the game i should know im a motocross racer

kar, iv noticed that that big pack does Not include the latest aston you made.

i downloaded the full pack just to make sure there was none i had missed from downloading seperately and i noticed that the curbs had changed, and there your old ones

good vid

i would like metalic/glitter effects on cars but allso you have to think about the fact that the game its self its brilliant as it is

but yes it would be nice ^

theres alot of different AA settings.

Most games at this moment in time use multisample AA, but alot of future games will use Custom Filter AA which alows up to 24x antialising (HD2900XT card) without as much slow down as lets say 8x Multisample AA plus it looks better.

It would be a bad idea to try add changable AA settings in game in my opinion, plus this would be a bad time allso to add it as there is alot of debate between AA modes at the moment for future games and current games, and seen astho lfs is allways being updated it could easy support both, older games which only use one mode of AA then in the future new ones arent compatable.

Quote from MataGyula :

24x AA ?! :O zomg

Ati HD 2900 XT alows 24x Edge Detect Custom Filter AA

I have not exactly took a screenshot of driving under a bridge on lfs so here is a screenshot of me driving under the bridge/tounel on blackwood

Thats great they look superb keep up the good work

fraps =)

Quote from Jakg :

My CPU is running at 3 GHz making it faster than a FX57, and if it can do LFS with ease i don't see a video holding it back!

The card is overclocked, i just dont see a point running high clocks for 2D Mode seeing as nothing should tax it in 2D mode, might as well run a little cooler Idle

The Cpu being single core might hold back the graphics card a verry verry verry microscopicly slightness but not enough to tell the difference from full speed tho. But your hardware wont be the problem as its not exactly low low spec compaired to my mums extinct dinosaw, not sure about the jumpyness to be honest, could be somthing to do with the PAL format and your monitor, (doubt it is tho)

Quote from K.David :

I liked the video a lot especially the focus on the locked tyre! Well done.
Could you tell me something about the soundtrack?

Band name: 16 Volt
Track name: Arella's Theme
Album name: City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus

Its from the playstation 2 game "Primal".
The band made there sound tracks just for the game, if you have the limited edition copy of the game it includes the cd with all there sounds tracks, theres some amazing ones on there, they all are good.

I got the game on releise day when it cost £49.99 in shops just for the standard edition, and i got the limited edition for £1.99 because of my "Game" card from Game stores in the UK, i had alot of money saved up on the card from offers etc,
The guy behind the till went to get the manager, and he said well i guess we have to accept the deal because its all there on the card all the free £5's etc they give you over a few months




Btw my favourite part of the video is 1:08 exact where i launch into the corner, the Grip is imence on that setup i made, i love it
