This car is still unknown in the rFactor community. I tried it on rF, it sucked really bad and I deleted it. Besides I don't think anybody trusts anything this Gisul guy puts out. Everything he does is ripped from someone else. Not to mention everything he does is terrible. Usually his threads are lock at RSC.

Couldn't you just open Windows Explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>Flie Types and create a new file extension associated with LFS? It wouldn't play the file but it should just open LFS for you. Just a thought.

uh huh...pull the engine and cockpit out of any car and your left with a shell.

The only point I was trying to make is comparing a computer model to a live model, which was done very well.

Good looking cones there m8! illepall

That is a stupid remark. Piss and moan about the lighting on a few cones?
I will agree with Keiran, the lighting could be a bit different.

Bottom line is this. I am NOT bashing LFS. I like LFS, but to call rFactor's graphics awful is just plain wrong and incorrect.

Quote from bbman :

In addition, to be brutally honest, they really look awful... There is nothing on them that makes them look like anything with a body... Almost looks like 2D-Bitmaps glued together in the right shape...

You gotta be f'in kidding me? 2D bitmaps? Glued together? Nothing on them that makes them look ANYTHING like a body. Are you drunk?

The Yellow one is real ... the orange one is an UN-edited screenshot that I took.

Quote from danowat :

What track is that?.

Dan,

Pics 1 and 2 are at Toban using Hudson Kerr textures. I don't know where the far right shot was taken.

Quote from Krane :

If you really think he meant the graphics are awful, you're in a wrong forum mate. I haven't played LFS nearly 4 years because I like the graphics.....

No, I'm not in the wrong forum "mate". I know exactly where I'm at. He made a blanket statement that the Meganes were "awful". I am visually showing that they are not "awful" and they drive wonderful.

I am also not comparing the two sims, as that is pointless. I have both. I enjoy both, period.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Apparently the only good mod is the Meganes. But they're awful too.

Yes...just look at them, awful

Quote from Platinum pete :

if you did want to try it again the way that i sorted out the "goofy" steering was to reduce the graphics draw ahead to 0 (using riva tuner or equivelant). i think because controller inputs relate directly to the graphics engine or something odd like that!? this made the sim far more responsive for me and didnt adversely affect any other games as far as i know.

Just an FYI

rFactor runs sweet on my machine. I didn't have to re-configure anything, and what your talking about above is "Frames Rendered Ahead" which by default Nvidia sets to 3 but can cause stutters in some applications, so Nvidia advises setting this to 2 or even 0. This can be set by installing and running Coolbits, which is a little app that lets you OC your Nvidia card. As for rFactor, it took me away from LFS. I got tired of low speed corner spinning that LFS was known for. Although I will say this, after patch U, I have NOT experienced it and have been running LFS a little more, but I'm stuck on the McLarens in rFactor.

Quote from Mikkomattic :

Before I mention anything else, The class of cars I think is missing the most, and is the next natural evolution of what should be stuffed into S3, is the 'supercar' class. McLaren F1, Ferarri Enzo, Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg, Porsche Carerra GT. I'm dying to find out how crappy a 2 ton car tuned for super mega high top speeds would handle on Aston Cadet.

I have to agree, or how about 4 wheel ATV's

Quote from danowat :

AI, yes, the AI is extremely poor, I have said it a million times, untill the AI is up to scratch it should be removed, as it is now they serve no purpose at all.

I can't 100% agree with that statement. They can be fun to dodge at times.

Quote from danowat :

I for one applaud the installation routine, its a clean, light routine that doesnt need any bulky uneeded installers, registery entries etc etc, I hope it contiues to be this way.

Bottomline, you will NOT find a better online race sim PERIOD.

Dan,

I can agree with those statements.


Very good point...below!!

Quote from BWX232 :

New F1 car has no dashboard if wheel is gone... that sucks.. have not tested other cars.

Huh..I wonder why? :doh: maybe because the wheel "IS" the dash?

Is it just me or does Fern bay have a blue cast to it? I put a white car on the track and it has a blue cast. I only noticed this on Fern Bay.

Quote from Pabs(Sco) :

any chance to a Word Document, I would like to convert to a lit for my PPC

It originated as a Word Doc, and someone else converted to PDF. I can't find the original thread ATM, but it was there.

I thought I read somewhere that the AI wasn't really working correctly just yet, and was to be fixed in the future.

^^^Maybe an Admin might want to change the thread name just for that reason?

I wasn't really worried about it, I just wondered if it was just me or if was happening to others.

Anybody else notice this? When joining a single player race, after the race has begun but NOT finished yet. When I press "End Race" and go back to the setup menu, then go into the garage the message "race ends:1" appears in the garage screen. It doesn't happen while the race is running and I go to the pits. Only when ending a race. I just noticed this yesterday.

Just finished this car a few days ago.

Quote from latch :

I don't get a 15s stutter, but I do get jerky multiplayer replay playback when I fastforward at 8x or more. It just resets back to 1x speeds.

Is there any way to fix this? Changing my graphics settings don't effect it, and my hardware isn't too shabby.

I don't get a 15 second stutter, what I am saying is that about every 15 or so seconds the replay stops or jerks for a brief moment and continues. I'm not talking about the other cars on the track because I know their connection speeds have someting to do with it, but my car will stutter or jerk for a second. It doesn't do this on the single replay mode.

BTW, this happens on 1x speed, I haven't tried it on fast forward.

Is it just me? or do the multiplayer replays stutter. The single player replays run fluid, but the multiplayer stutters every 15 secs or so. Not that it's a big deal, just wondered if anyone else notices this?

This is great!!
