Hi,

Is there a way to check if a setup file comes from a demo user or licens user?

Spot on! That illustrates my point perfectly.

Great ,
Question:
How do I know if my roll center is too low or high?


/mike

Quote from Gentlefoot :

It might be an interesting discussion for those that know a bit about it but TBH without diagrams, the discussion would be useless for anyone trying to understand roll centres for the first time. You can't really explain it textually but with a diagram it's easy. For example I could say "The roll centres are calculated by taking a line inboard, at 90 degress from the top of the Steering Axis Inclination. Extend the line of the lower arm inboard and where the two lines cross is your roll centre." Now I know what I mean but I bet no one else does.

Something like this?

If you are starting from scratch to make a good setup for a track, do you use race_s as default or do you start tweaking from something else?

Why not have a zero/normal button for setup parameters...

Thanks for the link! I'm still having problems though. When I go to rename the shortcut target, it says...

The name "C:\3d Studio Max\3dsmax.exe -p brazil.ini" specified in the target box is not valid.


I did everything in that link it said.

Check that your 3ds Max is installed in C:\3d Studio Max\
and not in C:\Program\3d Studio Max\ or even C:\Program\Autodesk\3dsMax ...

You have to change the target to where your 3dsmax.exe is...

Quote from savagedrifter2 :

Where do I install the Brazil rendering thing in 3ds? It says to put it in VIZ something or whatever, but when I go to assign the brazil renderer, it doesn't show up on the list.

So, what folder do I put the Brazil stuff in?

Can someone post a new video when it's working right?

/Mike

please...

I crashed every member of the rFactor team so I could make friends.

Hmmm...

Quote from Ryanry64 :

Bit bright, but nice paint/reflections!

Keep up the good work

It looked like fun, I had to have a go. Completely reworked my whole FZR scene and I'm quite happy with it

I like it!

/mike

Many hours later on my laptop...

/mike

Thanks Ryanry64 and XCNuse helping me out...

"The solution - select the sun stripe polygons from inside the car and delete them (then check you can still see it from the outside)."

Solution from Tristan in the Help thread

Thanks alot, found it!

Quote from XCNuse :

/Mike

Quote from anbiddulph :

nice, unless you race in the dark:thumb

i never thought of tinted lights

EDIT:i can just see the lights. try and make them a bit lighter

I'll try to fix that...
Hiding crap-looking lights...

/Mike

Quote from XCNuse :

that ratio is just output, it has nothing to do whether it looks squashed or not

the main reason his renders at the start look so strange is because there is litle to no depth perception in them

as for the last one, it looks better
but a tip, dont use reflective grounds, it looks really awkward and is quite unrealistic, also it rarely comes out good looking

as for lighting, stick a skylight in there, renders will take much longer, but it will look shaded right and not bright all the way throughout

Another reason for the squashed look, was that I didnt know how to use the camera in max, so my FOV settings was messed up.
Thanks for the input about lighting and ground...

regards Mike

Quote from viper-gt :

I know this post was made ages and ages ago, but make sure your max aspect ratio is 1.333 (1024*768, 1600*1200 etc)

Ok, like this?

regards Mike

Quote from Ryanry64 :

Damnit why can't I make paint that sexy.

What renderer do you use Mike? Nice render

As for me, my best FOX studio scene so far.. but still

I use max with brazil...
I think your paint looks really nice (metallic look), need to work more with lighting, reflections and all the other materials.
When all of your materials are what you want, work with the lighting directions.
And then finetune the materials again...
I think i use 10-12 omni lights in my scene but directed with reflective panels.

regards Mike

Anything you would like to change/enhance?
Feeling a litle bit blind with this scene...

regards Mike

I have a weird problem with my LFS, randomley in middle of a game it jumps to windows desktop like I would have pressed alt-tab...
Can't find what is doing this, anyone other that have had this problem?
