I've got to say that I've enjoyed it. I watched it without sound (?) and I really liked the look and feel of the video. The golden cars (and skin) and good car reflections really made it look amazing. Cameras were decent and driving too. GJ.

Another note I'd like to add. I'm still finalizing some details, and because I am quite busy, won't be ready for the next broadcast on Sunday. So expect a full on structured/prepared/fully equiped broadcast as I want them to be for the round after that (R7&8 May10).

I speak french so I don't mind. The others will probably pronounce it Laprovote or something :P

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Just for information, my name was prononced correctly. Thanks.

Just thought of it, who pronounced it right? :P

Laprevott or Laprevotti

Quote from J@tko :

"Mooeerr" is how I'd spell how an American says it...

Probably exaggerated but hey

Pronouncing it "more" here...

Hello all,

I am creating this topic to create a clearer and more acurate idea of some of the names of the drivers in the TBO Challenge, mainly due to the fact that the races are now broadcasted (live).

I'd invite all the current drivers that may have a possibly difficult to pronounce name or the drivers that have heard their name mispronounced in the inaugural broadcast on the46 to reply to this thread and help us out.

You can use any way you see right to explain the pronounciation, such as "say-it-like-it's-written/write-it-like-it's-said", "official pronounciation symbols" and even sound files.

Feel free to correct us, this way we can more acurately name you, and all the best.

Thanks!

Thanks to all that have watched live, it was fun. We apologize for the occasional problems and cuts, and are grateful you beared through it with us. We will look into it and hope this won't happen again. If you have missed the live airing of the race, it is available in the on-demand on the 46's player.

See you next race (Apr 26).


EDIT: Well, I have just re-watched the broadcast on the on-demand feature and I must point out there are a few issues. The most important one being that a good part of the qualifying does not seem to work/play even though the file is there. There's also a few hiccups in the commentary here and there. There's also a few cuts (esp. in the sprints), but this was cause by technical issues during the live airing of the broadcast, losing our video feed. Do no worry, we will do our best to fix the issues at hand for the next broadcast, and hope to have everything running smoothly and entirely. Thanks again.

Broadcast in about a half hour's time. Live countdown is set.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Excellent news, but you should create a thread in the "LFS General Discussion" section to attract some people IMO.

Don't worry, it'll be done later this weekend.

Quote from March Hare :

Will they be available on demand later?

Yes they will. All official presentations on the 46 are available on-demand after their airing.


Don't forget the live airing time: 15:00 EDT | 19:00 UTC/GMT | 20:00 BST if I'm correct.

the46 and the Internation Motorsports Association (IMA) has finally came to an agreement and are officially announcing a joint participation in the broadcasting of the TBO Challenge and has allowed the46 to broadcast the remaining races of the series championship.

The series will be broadcasted live on the 46 every other Sunday starting April 12th, 2009 @ 15e/19u. Join Yannick Martin, Chris Wilkinson and Ben Grindle for the commentated and live coverage of the IMA TBO Challenge.

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.
