I'll just add my comments, even if they are unwelcome

When your racing along in a normal, sensible fashion, and you lose the back end and have to catch it with opposite lock, then that is NOT DRIFTING. Not even slightly. The term 4-Wheel-Drift (for example) was not invented because Jim Clark put shiny wheels on his car, decal on backwards and used red tyres. No one in DTM EVER drifts. No one in F1 EVER drifts. Drifting is NOT in racing. Catching slides is a necessary evil, and any racer worth his weight in salt can catch slides.

Drifting is when you purposely get the back end of the car at huge angles, maybe with two or three cars side by side, so that you can be judged on style, speed, angle, entry, exit etc. It takes a lot of skill (I have tried it thank you very much), although I believe the RANGE of skills to be much much less. Oh, and it is 100% impossible to DRIFT a FWD car. They are just skids, and it's not the same. If I ask you to hold a 45 degree drift round a skid pan at 60mph you couldn't do it in a FWD car...

The other factor is that the size of the drift community here in LFS is becuase of the dodgy tyre physics at slow speeds and recovering grip. When that is fixed a lot of you 'drifters' will suddenly hate and leave LFS, much like those that suddenly couldn't cope with less that 100000 degree of lock. Of course the good, serious drifters (and I've had the pleasure now of watching some of the people who fall into the catagory) will love the new challenge. So if you aren't a pro drifter (or can't in real life/other sims) then be prepared to hate LFS in the near future.

Totally agree. Why you people flame him just for not liking drifting? Most of you dont like it either. Almost in every topic about drifting there is this comment "Drifting is for noobs, dont learn it." I see many of you agree with this, so I dont understand what happened that everybody loves drifting now. As Tristian said there is no drifting in racing. I dont know how to drift and I can get my car out of dangerous situations where I would be on the grass or sand. So I disagree with all of you (except Tristian) that you need drifting skills to control your car, because you can learn them without trying ever trying.

Here is mine. Oh remember playing Sonic on Sega. What a game it was.

Uh finally some cracker busted. Give him some http://www.wildlandfire.com/pics/fire25/flames.jpg

Try to use screenshot section of the forum.

16/20 for the second time 8/20 for the first time

First of all you need a graphic program Photoshop or some other one.

Meh Im getting mad that way. I play 2 months to get decent times and then just change the track? Not for me lol.

He's just so good that he doesnt need second leg.

Quote from NaBUru38 :

It's easy, every month three tracks are added to the official LFS servers.

More cars and more tracks will mean more drivers. Although I'm not sure about the drivers per track ratio... Anyway, in 2008 many 2004s will have gotten bored of Blackwood...

And we need more twisty layouts (something like the Tour de Corse), more rallycross circuits, and of course ice tracks.

Meh I will never get bored of Blackwood.

Quote from AtomAnt :

I don't call LFS a game anymore, it's now a confrimed hobby for me.

I started using a voice Com for LFS that a Team mate developed, without it, I could see getting bored with LFS, with it however racing takes on a whole new aspect. Now I not only get to race with good people but there have been times when I can barely drive because I'm laughing so hard at something someone has said.

You'll be missed if you hang it up Bommel, but health and Happiness comes first, I for one want to wish you the best of luck in what ever you choose to do.

Take Care.

Yeah maybe its because practiclly I have nobody to race with. I liked to race with Team Scream on Blackwood with Fox but now deleted that server.

Quote from XCNuse :

RX-7 matches up perfectly from what i can see

reflections are not hard at all, they are just simple layer effects

plus.. if you notice on both the civic and the RX-7, the reflections are not real... at all, with the civic, its still reflecting the road, and the RX-7 doesnt even reflect the building behind it

this stuff really isnt hard at all, it just takes .. time; i promise you none of this stuff is 3d, 3d stuff is tons harder and you wouldnt go around posting a load of cars you modeled .. just to tune, plus if that RX-7 was a render, i cant say i've ever seen one more realistic than that... its a picture; 3d stuff wasnt that advanced back during the RX-7 days

:iagree:

:doh: Again LOL.

There is this option in Americas Army and works well.

I never mind the result. I just dont feel like playing games anymore. Stupid Photoshop did this.

I found nice pictures. Not quite virtual tuning. Its just much better.

The video downloads perfectly on the first link. 180 kbs.

Yes I know it will take me months to do anything. I just started learning Photoshop a couple of weeks ago and make know 8% of its functions.

Here is another car made in photoshop. (You cant say it was done in 3D program)

Before: http://acn.waw.pl/iacoski/subaru_pik_przod_org.jpg
After :http://acn.waw.pl/iacoski/subaru_pik_przod_iac.jpg

It is suppose to be in S3.

Here is the finished version. Didnt change much.

Wait its not done yet, when I learn how to put carbon fiber (Have problem with this) then you will see.
