Well it certainly isn't a film for everybody, but i realy enjoyed it (no, iam not 9 ... at least not on the outside) - The visuals were amazing and the character's likeable. I can't wait to see it in HD, all the colorful scenes ( people who argue about new games being all brownish should go and watch this film ).

Been to the cinema today to see 2 films:
- Kung Fu Panda > it was hilarious the fighting scenes were done properly and the animation was superb.
- The X-Files: I Want to Believe > now this wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be, but still I enjoyed the movie and didn't find it boring at any point, but the ending was just bad.
And btw, Speed Racer!

Simply amazing.

Amen to that, and more, please =] Very good film, already recommending it to all the filmlovers I know:P

And on the topic, "You dont mess with the Zohan" is a great comedy. It has some low points, but very, very few.

@David
It looks realy nice, but you made a mistake there - the sune shines from behind the buildings, yet the building's front side is enlighted :P (it's that one in the middle)

Quote from Lynce :

This week, the level is higher.

The truth is that I do not know whom to vote.

My favorite candidates are: JJ72 (as always), Newtonyo, Matagyula (incredible) and ATC Quicksilver (has surprised me).

But I see the little details to decide.

The trail of light that makes catching Newtonyo is for a long expsición. In other words, cars, as well as lu must leave the same length of track.

Matagyula surprise me with an incredible assembly. The smoke is quite real and not simulates a hurry braking. It seems rather a mechanical breakdown. The mechanical breakdowns, often leaving a trail of smoke and more crisp on the back where the engine is located.

The capture of ATC Quicksilver, only lacks blur of movement and that the pilot is totally in the dark.

The capture of JJ72, could be more polished. More elaborate but to seek absolute perfection. The lights in the asphalt, is rather more for a night scene. But when it comes to JJ72 be forgiven for everything.

My vote is for JJ72 but with particular reference to Newtonyo, Matagyula and ACT Quicksilver.

I think this is what we need, professional and constructive criticism and analysis of the pictures

You mean this ? :>

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Well, by the look on your face you certainly seem happy with it

Quote from Mazz4200 :

It's good news actually, i never realised you could programme such specific commands into LFS, like setting certain fuel percentages. Can you set specific brake balance and camber percentages too ?

You can't exactly tell LFS to "set my brake balance 13% to the front", because pilfius can only assign keystrokes to what you are saying. So basically when I say "refuel", it starts the following keystroke - F12 , SHIFT+LEFTARROW ( 10 times, so i get +10% of fuel, the shift is there because i tried it ingame while drivign with mouse and keyboard, and i'm using the arrow keys to accelerate/brake and to change gears, so if you are using a wheel you can just make the keystroke to look like this - F12, rightarrow, rightarrow ... ) and then F12 again at the end, to close the menu. One press of the right arrow is +1% to the fuel, so you can decide what ammount do you want. You can even create multiple commands, so you'll be able to add 1%,5%,10% or any value you specify. The "naming" of the keystroke doesn't have to be connected to the actual function it'll do, so you can go really crazy with it .

About that recognition engine - just download the one from microsoft and then install it. After you start pilfius it'll guide you thru' a setup wizard to set up your microfone. Then you'll have to read aloud a few lines, so the program can adapt to your speech. There's a couple of more texts , and the more you read through the better the program will detect what you are saying. I did the main test and then two others just to be sure it works
Then all you have to do is to create some commands and then fire up the game you want to play. You can add/remove commands even while the game is running ( LFS in windowed mode ).

@tikshow
köszeeee (in english- thx :P)

Just tried that pilfius thingy, and it works ! So far i've two commands, when I say refuel it opens up my F12 menu and adds 10% to the ammount of fuel loaded at the pitstop and then closes the F12 menu. The other one is "deletefuel", which is the opposite of refuel This has a great potential, thx for mentioning it !

Edit: 3 more commands :P - increase/decrease tire change (+- 15%), and Pit Limiter

All the new content threads - I mean wtf ...

As I was browsing thru the first few pages of the edited pics topic I spotted KiDCoDEa-s name and I thought to myself, we need him back so he can deal with them i mean , like, srsly -.-

That "finger pedal set" looks hilarious, you could make a fortune by selling that in shops ( just cover it in plastic and make sure it has written "101 % ergonomic" all over it )
... i'd buy one :b

It can not end like this ; _ ;

Thank you Lynce!

I thought I'll post this here, too, just in case a few of you aren't visiting the Photomode Competition topics :P

Final Entry

Preview picture:


For full size click *here* (1600*1200, interlaced PNG, 4.09 MB)
Original picture can be found *here* ( JPG )

My original idea was to create a panorama to showcase the 24hrs of Fern Bay. Time would progress as you look from left to the right, meaning the left side of the image would've shown sunrise , middle noon and the right side evening (with stars, moon etc). I have it all in my mind, and maybe I'll do it when I have more time (i was even thinking about contacting somebody to help me with this)

don't forget to write "Final Entry" very nice picture btw :O

Why are people racing the same combos every night? Because they are human. They want to win, not tomorrow, but right now. They don't want to spend time finding unpopulated servers with fresh new combos and look for a suitable setup. They want to sit down, start up the game, race with lots of other players and finally win.

If you want some organized racing with a large variety of combos, join a league - cliché, I know, but that's reality. It's getting impossible to just fire up LFS and get a race as furious and various as a few years before. Here I'd like to mention Counter Strike:Source, because a same kind of behavior can be seen there, too. A lot of servers are running de_dust2 only, and the most of them are quite densely populated. I myself am finding it hard to play some other maps (ie. not office/italy/aztec/dust) at least 5on5. Players just want the same old sh!t which they know so they are able to pwn with the obvious desert Eagle + awp/ak/m4a1 combination, which again leads me to the fact that most of the players want to jump straight to the part where they are winning, but not learning anything more.

Back to LFS and the problem of some unrealistic racing on kerbs 'n stuff - why use something different, when there's a well tested and working receipt for quick winning? Players will exploit the flaws of any game if they can get an advantage doing so. RL drivers won't go over some of the kerbs in LFS so drasticaly because of the damage that may cause to their racing car, but in LFS, nothing stops you from using anything on the track to your advantage. In LFS it's simply way too easy to drive constantly on the limit (and I'm saying this not ever setting a WR and not even being the fastest driver out there), pushing your car extremely because there isn't that "fear factor" as in RL.

Boris, you said that at least the community of iRacing is 18+. I don't think the age of the player is important, it plays a role, but surely anybody could find an example that would contradict with the statement "the older he is the smarter he gets". And I don't understand why are some of you "scared" of the fact that others are playing/trying out other sim's out there. By buying LFS you didn't bind yourself not to play anything else o_O . But on the other hand by buying LFS you agreed to the way ScaViEr are developing it. It has been said a thousand times already that the devs aren't obliged to listen and respond to the alltime whining about the flaws and deficiency of the games present state. It's still in Aplha stage, so I don't really see a problem with the game right now. It's not final, most companies wouldn't let anybody else other than betatesters to play a game's alpha version >:| Waiting can be hard, but you don't have to wait right "here" and comlpain every day about how long does it take to get the frickin patch out. The ending is a bit offtopic, but I hope some will learn from it, or at least think about it.

Good topic mines were as follows :
- some integrated thing in my 486
- riva TNT
- Sapphire ATi 9600XT (128 MB,now in my friends PC )
- Sapphire ATi X1650PRO (512MB,still in my PC)
- ATi Mobility Radeon HD2600 (512 MB,in my notebook)
ATi FTW

@deggis
Don't trust the film reviewers It's worth a look, imho.
on topic - Well obviously they aren't sticking to the game's world 100% ,but I realy want this film to be good and not just that average "rightontape" kind of movie :d If they eff it up, oh well, at least we'll get Max Payne 3 ... in a few years ; _ ;

@C40Z - I'd pay to see that version of the FXO ingame :OO
@Taavi - perfection ^^

When i read that i thought to myself that he means endurance racing o_O who knows

Pathology - This was shocking, disgusting at some point, but quite entertaining :P

Bob wins that made me laugh ^^
