Fonts are perfect guys.

@VoiD: What do you mean?

First, if someone wants to make it, they'll need more pictures of it from more angles. Secondly, there is a subforum for requests.

Quote from Jouman :

Well meh, just don't like it when i have made every decal on the skin to take account the strecthing and then i have to add something that messes with that symmetry. Btw the plate on the hood is somewhat slightly different size then the two on the doors. But well thats just me i really like making every little detail as good as i can on the skin. True it wont be seen/noticed during driving, but anyway .

I understand. If there's someone here who makes the most attention to detail, is myself. I placed the hood plate this way, because making it straight and centered wouldn't work as most teams have something on there. So moved it to the side and added style. The plates don't need to be stretched, and I can't believe the numbers have to be this hard to fix. :P. Anyways

Quote from Jouman :

Then comes the BUT there is actually quite alot stretching to be made to make the numbers be in the right size. And it was a really pain in the ... to do. Ok i first attached the number plates to my 2048 skin(after changing the place of our team logo wich would have been under the plate). Then i changed the 2048 skin to 2560x2048 size to compensate for the stretching with the numbers, then wrote the numbers and guessed the angle which the number plate on the hood is which i think i didnt get right. Guessed -104degrees and it seems grooged in the skin that is ready. Then resized the skin back to 2048...

I like more the option where we get the plate and can then add the numbers to that before attaching it to the car. But anyway for those who arent so used to skinning there actually is some modification needed for the numbers to look the way they should.

The plates are to make things standard. Giving a simple plate allows for less standardization as teams will resize it in different ways, stretch it in different ways, and place it in different ways. This makes it the same for all.

In addition, in no case do you need to resize your skin nor the kit. It is all made to fit perfectly (unless you have something under it, but meh). As for the numbers, these are a reference. If they aren't the exact size/width, it isn't much of a problem, but the important thing here is that the style of writting is the same. Even arial black could probably do the job, this is just to narrow down the choices, and not have peeps showing up with Comic or Times as numbers. Placing the kit and adding the number shouldn't take more than 2 minutes.

Hello,

Please take note of the recent changes in skin detailing requirements.

As stated by the race administrators, the use of number plates is mandatory. Please refer to the following attachements for sets of preconfigured IMA-TBO.C number plates. These plates are designed to normalize field numbering, and improve visibility for broadcasts.

Attached are number plate skin kits for each of the TBO class cars (FXO, XRT, RB4). Please use the corresponding kit for your car. The kits are in transparent .png format, and will therefore easily apply to your existing skins, without the need to reformat, modify, nor rearrange (2048x2048).

As per rules, you are required to use a "Impact"-type font for the numerals on the number plates. If you do not have such a font, you can refer to the attached set of numbers to cut out and paste to the plates (transparent background, .png format).

In addition you may, but are not required to, include the series logo and the broadcaster's channel logo on your skin. These are for promotional use only, and you may use them at your will. (transparent background, .png format).

Thank you.

I could look into giving it a try as well if you haven't tried yet. I made the BF1 version.

I can confirm that as well. Anyways, all things aside, it's too bad not as many teams showed up and that we couldn't get any broadcast. Otherwise, I'm sure the folks on track had fun.

My friend used the helmet the other day and it was online. :S

Sorry we couldn't get the broadcast going. Tests worked great the other day, but decided not to today.

Quote from Vinnylegends :

Could someone resize the Brawn GP Jenson Button helmet skin to the right size?

What are you talking about? It's size is perfectly fine. And it's already on LFSW that I know of.

I am sorry to announce that we were not able to fully carry out the plans for the broadcast. We were unable to have a stream to work in a properly fashion. Though in testing we had pretty good results, nothing seemed to work on the day of the broadcast (today).

Please excuse us for the troubles. We will try to figure out the problems and get ready for our future presentations. Please stay tuned for these announcements.

The CoRe Racing's 4th Anniversary Event race is currently under way (new format: total of 68 laps) which you can view through the LFS Spectator application.

Once again, we are sorry for the impossibility to broadcast the event today, however we are looking forward to our future presentations.

You should take note that there were a number of videos with their downloadable versions that were hosted on FileFront. It's related by being another host for downloadable videos that disappears (+ it had the stream option on most vids posted there).

Well, another good hosting website for videos and such lost. Meh.

Ahahha XD

Good work.

It was an old radio, and was there when I bought the car a few months ago. It's already out now, and a new piece in.

I can't see the streamer right now on Filefront. :P

EDIT: Anyways, watched the stream on GV. Prettyg good episode and good fight between Kasper and Nolan. I also liked the camera movement in the first portion showing the cars on the line.

Ok, well, the unit is in and works great.

I also promised to post some photographs of the old system to show you what was up with it. You can see a close up of the cage in image 2 and 3 and there are big square holes, that's where the clips of the radio hooked into. You can see the hooks in image 4. So each time you'd slide the keys in, it would slide between the two hooks and do nothing. Only the putty knife could do something in this case.

Enjoy! And thanks for the help.

Well I finally was able to take the unit out. Used a 1inch putty knife, slide it each sides and it eventually came out. And you know what? The system is completely different than what we expected. It's not a key and lock system, but rather a lock system that is *I don't know how to explain it* (Top and bottom clips on the sides). I'll wire up my connections tonight to fix the new unit in tomorrow. I'll grab some pictures of all the system tomorrow as well, for your knowledge and entertainment (and show-off). :P Thanks for all the help nonetheless.

Now that would be funny. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help . I'll keep this thread updated.

lol, don't worry, I know how the system works, it's not the first one I've pulled out and I still my other system close by. One side didn't click, so there's no real grip. The other one is meh. Looks okay, but after pulling TOOOO hard like I did, it doesn't seem to work that well anymore. Maybe I killed my keys or the tabs. I still haven't tried with slim metal things.
