I'm sorry, but the flickering screen in an attempt to sync the video with the drum beat just gets plain annoying after a few scenes

Quote from garph :

It doesn't matter that your copier is old, what about a copier at the DVLA or your bank or your GP, etc, etc.

That's a point

I think i'm safe, because my photocopier is from about 1823

Just to clear things up, FWD GTR is allowed.

I swear half of labour voters only vote labour because it's a family tradition .

Green party are a pile of idiots... From what i've heard, they will invest in green power.. or smn

Which can only mean they will increase the country's debt. And no doubt they will raise road fund license to £5034.85 per year for those who aren't stupid enough to buy an electric car

If you want four..

It depends what hose connections and sprinklers you have now as to what specific product you buy, but it seems in most places it's either 2 or 4 hose connections.

Hmm...

So is the old bit of the track still usable now or have they blocked it off completely?

Tomba(FIN) is banned from Round 61 and 62 for insulting other Photomode entrants and generally bitching despite the addition of the NEW BONUS FUN RULE of 'No bitching', or words to that effect.

Constructive critisizm and helpful improvement suggestions are great, but outright handbag fights will from now on be met with a 2 round ban for offending induviduals.

There's no need just to pick a huge fight with someone just because you disagree with their editing techniques.


...

On a more positive note, there's some nice entries coming in so far

Quote from skiper :

Final entry...
Only original screenshot :heyjoe67_ferrari:

You may want to save your previews with higher quality settings, because visible pixelation in your preview isn't going to encourage anyone to vote for you.

The preview is exactly what is says: a preview - if the quality / compression of the preview is bad, people might assume the full size image is bad quality

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

Don't act like a pro, you don't know shit. Maybe you should get into real photographing before saying anything.

Unnecessary noise by the car= It's the car skin.
Any reflexions except asphalt= Explain me this? Sorry if my road isn't a flowing river, the rain is light.
Yeah, try to see raindrops while looking at a bright sky, or even better, try to get a long exposure picture showing the raindrops against a damn bright sky. Yeah, feel a bit dumb now?
Miscellaneous light is reflected in distance from objects? wtf?
And.. "such focus blur absolutely so looks".. uh, english please.

Whilst you are fully entitled to your own opinion on whether or not you like people's pictures, I said no bitching.

Quote from morpha :

You are required by law to allow people to cross the street. Now you've got insecure pedestrians waiting for the cars to stop; this is wrong! Pedestrians should FORCE drivers to stop. If everyone would follow this simple rule, traffic would be significantly smoother, the "movement-order-negotiation" that's happening so often is completely unnecessary.

I think that pedestrians having total right of way is just stupid, to be honest. When we've been driving around Amsterdam before, you have to stop at the pedestrian / bicycle crossings on the junctions into side roads. All this seems to do is clog up the main road and increase the risk of being rear ended by some idiot.

In the UK as far as I know, you don't HAVE to give way to the pedestrian unless they are already on the crossing. Although it is the done thing to stop if possible.

In some situations it just isn't appropriate to stop at a crossing, like if some fool just walks out from behind a building or something and decides they want to cross the road immediately.. or if you have an Audi following you

Quote from brt900 :

wth is up with the steering when using a wheel

The .scs file within the attached RAR pretty much fixes steering problems for Euro Truck Simulator, German Truck Simulator and UK Truck Simulator. Just put the .scs file in My Documents\UK Truck Simulator\mod.

With this mod you can turn hard into corners without a total loss of steering. It's still not perfect but it is a HUGE improvement

(I didn't make this)

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

Yeah, the 6th week is kinda similar to this one.

Quote from andRo. :

Yeah, fail. I've even seen that picture that won that round so many times, but I never looked at the theme.

Well it's been 55 rounds or 1 year, 8 months, 29 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes, 27 seconds since we last had this theme, so I think it's about time we had it again

Quote from Lynce :

Please, update the date: "7th May".

This weeks theme is... "Racing on a Rainy Day




Rules: (made by andRo., these will not be changed)

Make an edit of car(s) racing in the rain or right after the rain has finished

Cars: TBO + GTR

• You must provide a preview picture (no bigger than 400 x 400 pixels) as well as the High Resolution copy.
  

• The preview picture does not have to be exactly 400 x 400 pixels - it can be smaller to maintain the correct aspect ratio (for example, 400 x 300 pixels)
  

Any entries with preview pictures bigger than 400 x 400 px will not be accepted

• No renders or old images to be used and NO VOB MODS

Where? :hide:

If you were referring to me, I wasn't bitching.. just replying to points raised in a stern manner

Quote from DevilDare :

I know. But if we are so anal about Tracks/External images etc then it is just as fine to say that any graphical enchaner addon should be banned.

Josephs, time to clear things up...

Quote from andRo. :

But it also doesn't state that it is All LFS Tracks, but only All tracks which can mean also tracks in real life etc.

I don't know why everyone has started being so anal about everything recently...

All tracks = Anywhere except render scenes, basically (whether non-LFS locations are allowed is up to the person who decides the theme that week).

No VOB mods = It means quite simply No VOB mods... All other texture modifications, LFS Tweak (if you want a powersliding UF1 for instance), and revolution packs are allowed.

Quote from zeugnimod :

If I were Joseph, I would just stop doing this seeing that it is only causing arguements and not many people seem to appreciate that he is doing it out of his free will.

If next round's thread turns into a big argument, this could happen

I made this a few rounds back, I could update it sometime soon..

The actual wire is fine.. it's just that the cover has come off and keeps sliding half way down the wire... which is annoying :irked:

I could just cut the cover off I suppose

Quote from spacedskunk :

I have however had a pair of Sennheiser CX-300 IIs for going over 3 months now and the wire is better made, as is the jack...as it goes in an L shape but the wire leaving it is quite loose so it can freely move.

This has happened to my Sennheiser headphones after about 6 months, but I do use them every day.. and night

I haven't had time to look at alternative voting systems, but will have a look for next round.

I might trial the following system:

Google Form, each picture has a scale of 1 to 5 with it, and when you vote, you rate the picture out of 5.

Then the average scores are calculated in the spreadsheet, and the person with the highest average wins.

I think for identity verification: I will have a field to enter your LFS username. After voting, you MUST post in the voting thread to confirm that you have made a vote (you do not have to specify who you voted for / what scores you gave). Any votes without a confirmation post will be ignored, and any self voting will also be ignored.

Thoughts?

Quote from PMD9409 :

If I crashed so much I wouldn't of won.

I was referring to 'you' as in everyone in the Kyoto 250.

I'm hoping that the Kyoto 500 will be better, because even though it is faster, the FO8 is kinda easier to drive round the oval than the XRT. Even I can drive FO8 / KY1 to an average standard :P

D0r1ft0!11 round the last corner seemed to cause a few incidents in the Kyoto 250, but you don't get this in the FO8

Quote from imaquad :

So wheres the 500 sign-ups that opened the 5th?

They will be opened this coming monday (probably). We were so busy with other stuff that we kinda forgot... and the logo is still work in progress

Quote from PMD9409 :

Heh, don't feel too bad, they don't even have the official 250 results out yet...

If you hadn't crashed so much it would have been easier

Quote from pik_d :

Everyone involved lost.

This is true.

Quote from imaquad :

LOL

You try to sift through a 3 hour replay, looking at about 20 incidents whilst simultaneously trying to run about 4 other leagues and also having to get a job / do a job (deko), revise for GCSEs (me), play army (Timo), run LFSCART and make videos (Falke), go to the pub (CSF/boothy) and have a life (others).

Quote from zeugnimod :

At least he's not a kid that has been here 3 years and less.

Quote from SidiousX :

Wow, you won't drop that, shows how immature you are, Mr."I've been here since 2005, and have 11,000 posts! Everyone after that sucks!". Sorry that I signed up 2 years after you, whoopty-f**king-doo.

I think Zeug was joking, indicated by the smiley used... :doh:
