by the way, how or with what kind of prog do you edit these files?
and is there some kind of crc to watch out for?

not that bad, but guess what, you've forgotten the other "back"lights

good idea for me right, cause i've got freaked while watching Top gears report about the Mclaren.
if anyone else would want to use that "Custom"-viepoint i don't know.
but i tried several laps on narrow tracks and could actually see the apex in left corners, as left steerer (wheel on left side of the car).
Or else, why put the possibillity of "custom-views" AND a centered view while not providing the rest alligned?
Sounds like irritation to me...

brabble?

hm, sorry but this isn't my native lang.

and besides it's nothing to improve i think, because it's not "realistic" to have every car "centered"....
cam and wheel centered

(get flamers ready )

and therefore the wheel too.

just like the steering wheel in the Mclaren F1 (the model that was tested in Top Gear) in the middle of the viewpoint.

As in Lfs, it's possible to set the same viewpoint, but without the wheel in the same position it's quite tricky to race fast with the wheel in left/right of your viewpoint.

may be misunderstood by me, but I thought it's possible to switch the wheels display on/off for replacement of your "real" grabbable wheel in front of your monitor.

so, maybee it's possible to configure the "displayed" wheel to the viewpoint as well as the mirrors...

Cause i guess the engineer of the Mclaren had a simple idea in placing the driver and all his needs into the center of the car.

Regardless of the cockpit right now would look screwed with the displayed wheel in the middle too but i'm aiming for the better viewpoint.

your thoughts please

Quote from Mekaza Bitrusty :Very nice work mate
...studentengeldbeuteltauglich? You'd think they are paranoid of spaces or something Why not write student engeld beutelt auglich? Even then I have no idea what the hell it says

well, first of all if it's not your native language it's hard to learn i hear that anytime a student talks about his "german as foreign language" lessons.

second, there's a saying here that states "Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache" means german language, difficult language.

btw, your spaces in "student engeld beutelt auglich" are wrong set IF u are a "kraut"-fresser (eater) [thats what the saying about krauts continues] then you should be able to separate the word correctly.

studenten-geld-beutel-tauglich
freely translated could it say that it's "student-low-budget-friendly".

Mir freundlichen Grüßen

hrhrhr. nice job.
it remembers me back to 80's where rev-races were quite popular in the banger-scene.
so, these people must have been quite boored too
i've tried it once on the cybercats-test server but mostly spinned back to the right direction...

Quote from tristancliffe :The parts are changed in the 3D modeller.

How he changed his shit is surely a conversion worthy of it's own thread. I'm guess it involved a change of underwear. Unless you didn't mean shit as in faeces, but because you ran out of adjectives that you know.


just great english black humor.

Quote from cgrassham :Well this is my first post here, but I've been playing LFS for ages, yet have only got back to it recently.

I needed to get a new wheel and have been meaning to for ages, as my old one finally became unsuable and needed scrapping (Its a Momo Racing Force if you're interested) and how I missed this game! It shows too as I can't drive!

serious question.

so, it's a used (?unusable?) wheel...
well for a beginner and tech-freak (likes to dismantle/un-dismantle things)
who wants to get some inexpensive wheel experience... why not.
how much do you want for it?

Quote from deggis :Most Wanted is more like "Underground plus cops" and it has nothing to do with the original NFS series. This "back to the roots" talk is bullshit.

first of all, thx for your polite answer...

awright sir, then how come i can't change the front bumper for example.
instead i get a whole bodykit... "hey thx a lot mr. dealer but i just wanted the bumper..."

more like? hm... agree but one driving mode is missing, like drifting.
and u can't deny the fact that this game is more mainstreamed (in the choice of body and car parts) than underground one or two.

off topic: what is a "twat" i'm german as you might seen and therefore don't know slang.

Quote from tristancliffe :My Dad picked up his new toy yesterday. A 1964 TVR Griffith, with 4.7 Small Block Ford V8. We're not sure of it's exact state of tune yet (apart from the fact it's got straight trough pipes!), but I reckon 300hp is getting there. Maybe 320.

It's certainly quick - I had a little drive in it, and barely used half throttle (in a village) - I don't think I've gone past the village church that fast before!!!

I know it smokes a little, but we think one of the piston rings is a bit stuck. It'll probably free off in a few heat cycles, but my Dad wants to give it a bit of a checkover anyway. And fit silencers, cos it's not going to pass an MOT like that.

The camera does a poor job of picking the sound up, but I can tell you it's pretty deafening at 2000rpm :/

The zip file contains a little wmv file of it.

Mods - any chance of allowing wmv's to be posted directly?

Well u could just use MORE bitrate for the sound and a bit more on the resolution and 4 times more on the video-bitrate.
but the shaking when the engine revvd up was done by you, be honest.
and YES liked the sound...

got the game, hate the phys as in all the nfs games... but played it cause it was new and stylish, and fancy, and ******.
Anyway i missed the fine tuning from underground and the miata (sniff).
i HATE the cops cause for their obstruction abillities in large groups.
the first gear for always spinning it up too hell.
and the difficulty, tried to make all the 63 challenges.
had to cheat hardly to get past the 40 (imo this isn't achievable without massive NOSsing).

anyway had stopped playing Most wanted cause it's "back to the Need for Speed roots" and got not su much to do with the underground parts i liked for tuning possibillities...

talking about sims at this feedback level is pretty pointless.
in my opinion much much much more is needed to trick me and my sceptic brain to believe i'm inside a race-weekend...

the smell, vibrations of the road, engine sound, FEAR of getting injured, and many more sensations i just can't experience, sitting in my flat playing lfs.

so as long there's no "holodeck" invented or real races are much much cheaper, i think to argue about tiny little details is a waste of time.

but still i won't quit doing it, and if it's just for sharing some flames :munching_

so far right, but without proper control devices, these tail-whigglers are eiter to slow due to wheel-spin control, or fast enough to rotate the whole car instead the wheels only...
it's all about control on the gas-padal.
but thats all already said

Quote from Tinytacohead :Maybe I've missed the suggestion, or maybe it's already available with the S2 license, but a car much like the 1st generation Mazda Miata.. small, lightweight RWD roadster with, a small displacement, low output, smooth revving powerplant.

to be honest, i think the mx-5 miata (or a clone) just deserves to be in lfs cause it was the most successful roadster ever.
in my opinion...
besides i mostly see one car-class races all the time (on public servers) (serious) mixed car races are pretty rare.


but who am i to argue about that with the devs huh?
