I was on lfs tweak and i tweaked some Xrt's up to 800bhp 5.8letre V8's
and put some Ai drivers in them
and.. well i was supprised they made it around turn 1 lol.
obviously there driving wasnt satisfactory, tapping walls alot etc
So i decided to make a small video of it. only took a few mins to make.
turn your volume up alot, i had to record it quiet so it didnt go all fuzzy because of the loud v8's lol.
If you dont like or understand nascar then this video wont be worth downloading if your not intrested in that sort of stuff.
When it goes from the incar views to the outside views i think the sound of the cars is verry real it sounded like the actual thing to me heh
when they had a crash at the end of the main straight i thaught the smoke was verry realistic, i was amazed
oh and by the way, i know there all using my same skin, i wasnt expecting to make a video of it lol.
ok well here it is http://rapidshare.com/files/27501001/AI_nascar.wmv
hope you like it ( only took a few mins to make its nothing special )
iv used mouse steering and wheel. i use wheel dur in the day when the wheel noise isnt anoying and at night time i use mouse, tbh im actually faster on my mouse but wheels more fun.
and no i dont think anything should be changed for the mouse its perfect as it is.
i use mouse left and right for steering and W for throttle S for brake A for shift down D for shift up R for rear view look E for clutch Q for horn Shift for handbrake, C for reset, give it a try its easy when you get used to keyboard and mouse at same time
You all probibly know me by now when i mension the slightest thing to do with oval/stockcars Etc..
but do you think it would be a good idea now theres the new restriction settings to have a 800bhp 5.7+ letre v8 stock car for lfs?
and you may be thinking 800bhp, you wouldnt be able to controll it...
well, the new restriction settings would proove handy for restricting the cars down for different events.
aka some events might want every one to use 500bhp or 600 etc.
and then for qualifing you could use no restriction/restrictor plates and have the full 800bhp of the engine.
thanks btw i just felt like making these for my lfs untill you have finished making some fern bay ones then ill be moving to yours electric kar , your the master at textures
unfortunetly its the grass colour which cant be changed i dont think.
the dust/smoke Etc, uses a puff of smoke/dust image which it repeats for the effect of alot of smoke/dust.
smoke/grass dust/ gravel dust, uses the same file for the effect then adds colour to it for the surface your driving on, so for what i know you cant change it.
if theres any one who knows if it is possible tho, let me know ill add it to the package
the textures dont reduce fps that much, infact its hardly any different according to people who have downloaded electric Kar's Hi-res textures.
by the way, i thaught about that cracked tarmac etc but i didnt want to steal the idea as its allready been made,
iv fixed alot of the walls etc this morning because i accidently made some walls out of sand
and iv allso made some clean tarmac if people pfer to be able to see the road better. and iv allso tone'd down the curbs slightly so they dont look like they have a spotlight shining on them all the time,
will have it allready in about 20 mins with some more screenshots etc
(edit, okay fixed most of the things now and added optional tarmac, Enjoy!)
remember, if you spot any thing that needs fixing or changing let me know
im going to remake the curbs and the tarmac today and try to make an effect at the edges like a road sweeper has tryed to clean the sand away
or i might just make the tarmac clean anyway
this will be a optional download tho so if people still want the sandy edges then it will still come with that
I was re-making the Cliff face on Fern Bay, then i ended up with ideas and ideas lead to more ideas,
and anyway....
In the end i ended up with this great idea., too bad my skills at this arent 10/10 but..
This is my first Ever releise of re-made texture appart from the odd interiour here and there etc..
Here is my attempt at what my idea was.
its how i personally emagine a place like fern bay to look like.
i guess its one of them things where you hate it or love it
Please check out the Cliff faces aswell, there my pride and joy and i hope you like them (This is only the half thing so far. iv not fully remade Everything, lots more to come, If you find and bugs or errors or ideas, please let me know and i Will fix them, If you would like to use these for anything other than just using them for your personal LFS Game please ask first )
**Updated***
(last 3 screenshots showing the New curbs and the New wall's and the optional Clean tarmac)
Fixes:
Walls appearing as sand
Curbs looking like there painted On sand
Changes:
Walls now Concrete instead bricks
Toned down the Curbs so there not as bright but now easyer to see the edge of track.
Allso just added a sandy background for the distant hills which used to be grass. (3rd from last screenshot)
Extras:
Extra link for Clean" tarmac without sandy Edges (if you pfer that kind of thing)
Installation: Extract the DDS files to your Lfs_s2/data/DDS folder
there tyre tread dds is for the treads only not colour. and theres another for the colour aka the rubber colour but if you edit it all tyres would have the same mark i think?
