Great vid. Loved the start of it, with the cars appearing in the garage, then all accellerating off and setting the tone of what's to come. Classic.

Nice effects with the picture in picture, driving school, and the external sliding view.

...I just hope nobody noticed that horrible typo in the credits...

And I only looked because you posted that nice one

Only watched the first one so far thanks to cRapidShare. Awesome work, great angles, and a nice music track to go with it. Absolutely murdered by crap compression though

Quote from Racer_S2 :

sure, just edit the drift.ini file....

Doh!

Should have just downloaded and worked that one out for myself! Cheers!

Any chance of an option to remove the drift angle display, and just have the g-ball?

Quote from SamH :

What I'd really like, though realism doesn't exactly fit with this idea, would be a pitspotter-type thingymabob.. a proximity alert for cars around you. If a car's sitting at my rear left quarter, I'd like a tone beeping at me, coming from there. The closer they are, the more rapid the "ping".

It'd be worth buying the extra speakers if I had that!!

Already "kinda" done this by murdering most of pitspotters .wav files so I get a left and right "bleep" noise with a fairly frequent repeat rate. Not 3d granted, but better than a kick in the knackers

surround would be nice, although i'm quite happy with my 2 speakers

This the job?

Quote from Goop :

I don't think trailbraking is the sort of thing you need worry about when learning to drive LFS. Concentrate more on getting on the gas as early as possible, rather than maximizing braking.[/SIZE]

Another tip that worked for me when learning (before trail braking), was being smooth coming off the brake before turn in.

Good call! Got a PDA sat next to my screen too. Fuel, and some of the info from the F9-12 menus would be cool. Fairly pointless, but cool!

Quote from Woz :

I hope the GTR cars allow the choice of seq or H. I know the ausie V8s run H pattern.

Also if you have an H pattern its just more fun than seq

Agreed on this one. A choice for the GTR's would be good.

False starts would rock, and it would make the drag racing actually have a point. I'm hoping with the G25 to see better clutch/shifter stuff soon. at the mo, can just smash it through the gear, then kick the clutch for super fast shifts.

Anyone know the command for adjusting virtual clocks? I want virtual clocks in the MRT5 as with an FOV of 80, I can't see the real dash!

Really cool, love the views from in car, but not drivers eye view. Plus nice showing off of the awesome LFS tyres

Been curious about TrackIR for a while... are they worth it? One of those things i'd like to try, but I dunno anyone who's got one.

Quote from Blowtus :

I would love to get rid of the pointless 'steering' display, myself. I've got a wheel in front of me, I know how far I've turned it...

Agreed, a simple toggle ON/OFF for each of the gauges/displays would be nice

Quote from chp101 :

...Btw rotation view for LX4/LX6 cannot be returned to 0.00° (only to 0.88°) for some reason (move slider for custom view to 180° and back)...

Right click on the slider, type in "0"

Also get a crash on the controller screen when pressing buttons. Works fine for normally asigned controls (horn, TC etc), but when I press a button bound to a CTRL+F key script command LFS crashes out.

EDIT: U30 fixed it... before I finished pressing "Post Reply". Good going!

Cockpit view... tempted to play with some custom views though, as in some cars part of the dash is obscured by the wheel (and I want the wheel on!).

FOV is 75, and 90 for the MRT.

Was a fun race! Was awesomely outclassed, respect due to the guys from cyber racing. You scare me, but in a good way.

Sadly I managed the most pathetic bow out of a race, but losing the back end under the bridge, and sticking the back tyres in a gravel trap. Doh.

Still, was fun while it lasted and very clean racing from what I saw.

Nah, mine's a Mk2.5, just found a more accurate pic.

Rawr!

Perhaps it might slow and stop if the opposite wheel was stuck in the dirt and the LSD comes into play?

I'd hope so, 'cos the Logitech G25 is on the way, and I want one!

Great movie, dire music! Loved the last section with the high speed footage, nice touch

On mouse over of any of the buttons it shows the course map/distance top right or something? Refreshes the old brain on what track is called what? If the current number system has to stay, could also show the track name when mouseovered?

Good idea, but drag will be silly until there's the starting in neutral/false starts thing. Be ace for normal racing too.
