First things first, post up the specifications of your Computer.

Textures and whatnot are great, but to get nice Graphics in LFS, you need the Hardware to do so.

You don't need much to run LFS nicely. I have a Computer at work with;

Pentium 4 CPU 3.2GHz
512mb RAM
80gb HD
256mb Nvidia 7600GS
Windows XP MCE

As you can see, it is not a powerful PC in the slightest, yet it runs LFS at 1280x1024 (32 BIT) with 8xAA (Anti Aliasing) and 16xAF (Antistropic Filtering) at 75-80FPS, and can handle around 10-15 cars (depending on the cars and track) before it starts to stutter. Basically, anything with anywhere near these sort of specs should be getting pretty decent performance.

So, once the Graphics and Resolution is sorted out, you need to move onto Textures.

Without sounding biased, Lynce (lfsn00b posted his link above) really is the best texture guy on the LFS scene at the moment. Pretty much any of his textures around bound to make an improvement, but the ones that really make a difference in terms of screen shots and general gameplay are his reflection packs. They truly are amazing, and make the game look much prettier.

Also, if your LFS install is too cluttered, i would recommend saving your important files (e.g, ones you do not want to search for again) like skins and pictures, and then delete the old LFS install and download a new one. It would not take long to do this and get it all setup how it used to be. I do this quite often if i find my LFS install is getting full of old skins or files.

Thanks guys!

LOL @ the "tit" comment. I thought the same when i first read it.

I will make some small changes to them skins over the weekend. I'm still not happy with the front grill on the XKR, and the AT&T logo needs some more detail. I will also make the shape on the front of the XFR fit the grill and put the same colours (or maybe green with a red band to break it up?) on the rear part of the XFR above the exhausts.

He is a die hard VAG fan. He just learnt something new, 'tis all.
























Wait. Why am i sticking up for Blueflame?...

Quote from Osco :

But, Osco has already saved you the trouble.

:icon23:

XFR:







XKR:







Both on the my Storefront for Free. Search for "cossieburn".

Please note, there was a small error with the "BEST's" logo on the XKR which you can see in the pics. This has now been fixed.

Also, please send me a Message if you spot any errors or send me a reply with a picture of it in this thread, and i will do my best to fix it asap. Thanks!

If you wan't something German, how about a Golf GTi or an Audi A4?

Even if the Polo was a 5dr, i doubt you would have enough room for your Wife and Kid and then all your luggage for a Holiday.

I guess some people could say he was driven to it.







I'll get me coat...

Quote from JJ72 :

can't tell until you put on the Becks logo, which is what made the Jaguar skin look really good. I'll say move the HSBC logo to a more prominent position as well, they are a major sponsor anyway.

The michellin logo at the front bumper should be moved down a tad so it doesn't touch the edge just below the headlight.

Thanks.

I agree, most the Logos could do with being moved around. I just put them there so you guys could get an idea of what the final product will look like. Most the logos are pretty simple. The becks one will be quite tough though, and so will the AT&T. I will work some more on it tonight or tomorow and get some pictures up.

Quote from MijnWraak :

LOVE the back, reminds me of NFS Hot Pursuit days. Don't remember which car, but it was pretty long and was white. Loved it

Thanks for the nice comment.

Quote from logitekg25 :

no i mean maybe make it more exciting to make a little green look like it is ripping through (just came to mine, i dont really think it would be good :shrug

I can see what your saying buddy, but my point was that this one is meant to be a Replica to the real F1 car it is based off of. The only difference is logos may be in different places to the real car due to differences in dimensions. As the real car doesn't have no green ripping or decals on the back, my XJR wont be either.

Quote from danowat :

Looks real nice Nathan, I'll have a copy off you when its done, if you've got the DLC, do one for the XFR too, and I'll have one of them aswell!!!!

Thanks Dan! Feel free to get one of my Storefront. I will let you guys know when i put it up, and i will be putting it up for FREE!

I don't know if you've seen it, but there is also a Texaco Focus RS on my Storefront for 1,000CR if you wan't it. I was gonna put that up for free too but i lost it when i had to have a new console.

And yes, i will make it for the XFR too, also for free.
I should have both done by the end of this weekend hopefully.

I'm doing it as a Replica. The rear car does not have any green ripping through?

I will agree it does look bland at the moment though, but don't forget that it is no where near finished. It still has a long way to go.

Thanks. I appreciate your C&C.

It still has alot more work to go into it, but I'm done for tonight. I shall work on the Logos again tomorrow and look at smoothing off the red/white area on the front bumper. I was going to do the main grill in red and white, but it's not possible unfortunately due to the mapping.

Slight update on the XKR Paintjob. Any better?

(Ignore the high brightness of the pictures. There like this so i can show you guys the paintjob properly.)

No, you still have to buy them in-game.

Dan may very well have enough to buy all the new DLC cars, but you can test drive them in Arcade Mode just like you could in FM2.

Thanks for the advice. When talking about the rear, do you mean bring the white and red part to the end of the spoiler, or go slightly above/below it?

I'm unsure about making the red part thicker (i will admit that it needs some work on the rear curve though as it thins out) as according to the 1:18 model i am copying off, it doesn't seem that thick, and real pictures seem to confirm this.



I will work on it some more later this evening and post up some progress pics. Right now, my priority is to get the basic design down. Most the decals are pretty simple, so won't take long.

Few pics off me again. I did have a REALLY nice picture of the 458, but i forgot how badly compressed red gets...









Also, if you guys don't mind. I would like your opinions about a car i am painting. I am doing a replica of the HSBC Jaguar F1 car from the 90's/00's. Basically, i would like to know what you guys think i should do with the base design. Should i keep it as is (i shall work on the red banding a little more however) or should i make the white and red design go onto the roof/bonnet? I don't wan't it to be too cluttered, as there will be alot of decals.






I'm thinking maybe just keep it as is, but do little details red/white? For example, note the spotlights on the bumper. Maybe i could do this sort of thing on other parts of the car, like the bonnet vents for example?

Thanks.

P.S Get the DLC if you don't have it. The Nissan GTR and the Ferrari 458 are absolutely awesome cars. Worth the 400 points alone imo!

Quote from senn :

Hot. I want the F40c badly. Trying to save my money atm. Out of curiousity, how far can you mod the F40C? REmove restrictors only? or nothing?

If i remember rightly, i couldn't do much.

I think all i could change was Wheels (But not tyres strangely enough) and the Pistons and Crankshaft and i think the Brakes could be uprated. It is now an R2 class. Awesome car to drive though, but suffers with chronic understeer on a standard tune, so i advise you get one of the storefront.

El pibe, your Grammar makes no sense...AT ALL.

Here is the link to the video showing off the new DLC incase anyone has missed it.

Here is a YouTube link too, as the one on the Mainpage is lagging for some people apparently.

Two more pics off of me BTW, showing the Ferrari F40C with a Paintjob i grabbed off of the Storefront.

By the sounds of his computer troubles, porno seems to be the cause of it.

Stop bumping threads ffs. Especially ones that not alot of people care about.

Never mind, I've seen the spy shot. Definitely looks like a GTR.

Anyone got a link?

Yes!

Pretty sure it's not available in Single Player though. Atleast, that's what one guy told me last night...

They can still access your profile data when your in Single Player (apparently) as you will still be signed into Xbox Live. It wouldn't matter if you bought cars priced at 5k. If they looked at your records and noticed your money going up and up without you racing, it would be quite obvious you were doing the money glitch.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

I have done it and im not banned

And?

If you read my post, T10 is saying they are going to ban people. Who knows, maybe you won't be banned or maybe you will. Only time will tell.

I think i missed your sarcasm there....
