i used the scavier pro helm as a template to do my own helmet. shall i tell you how i didnt actually edit the original?

i inserted the image as a layer, then i made it 50% opacity, then i didnt use the layer when i saved the original....

i really needed to do this to get the lines right around the helmet, plus i needed to get the visor mounts right and the vents.

is that ok? i think my helm looks totally different though

good stuff knight attack!!

or yannick i mean, nice skin and helmet combo

like this

i have show virtual lights enabled but they appear behind everyone text

can they be moved away from the text area? they seem to be behind everyones "good race!!!" spam at the start.

sorry andre i got a bit sidetracked there should of been in a seperate thread.

what about little a and big A?

Quote from keiran :

Never been a huge problem for me personally, in most league races I've been in we've run a lag lap before the start of the race when exiting the lobby.

I have this issue even if a 5 lapper race has finished and is being restarted. what gets loaded on that first lap that stops the lag? at first guess im thinking it lets you download any skins you may need to download? does something reset after a race is completed and then everyone hits restart then it reloads something?.... does that lap even stop the issue? (i realise you dont get it). What kind of connection do you have, i have 512k down and 128k upload, i think...

if you need to run a lag lap for the leagues then there must be a slight problem somewhere, it should be called a warm up lap instead of a "lag lap" right?

It's crap, but it's there. They're still working on the multiplayer free-roam, it's just races and a weird car deathmatch-type mode at the moment.

Cool i shall check this out just for a laugh, infact ive never even tried GTA since i got LFS or my DFP so i guess i should reinstall it. thanks.

do the red/white curbs have less grip, or do they even have more grip because of the angle, do the tyres deform on the curbs and make it behave differently under braking, i quite often brake into a corner on them.

Quote from Sawyer :

It can be done in any other game. Even in games which by default dont have a netcode at all like GTA:SA so why not here?

i dunno what you mean, GTA san andreas has online start grids and racing on servers? i have that game can you link me to the mod or something?

i hope it can be fixed easily, im just worried that technical limitations are having an effect here

now got both the XFR and UFR skinned for my two man team

im not sure rolling starts is the best way to solve this problem, me and i guess a lot of others do prefer the option of having non rolling starts sometimes?

maybe its something the devs have been trying to figure out a while now and havent been able to fix due to technology limitations that we still have. maybe in 10 years time it will be better

does it hurt to redline the gear a bit anyway? sometimes when i corner i wont change till ive straightened up and sometimes itll stay in the red a little longer than normal, but its still accelerating right and got good revs

What Alt- shortcut code is that letter?

LFS Alt-014567 1

yeah that would be great to type all the time lol

im not very good with netcode stuff, my brain is fried from years of abuse, but can you be given 2 or 3 netcode "buddies" that have a kind of priority at getting data to you? so you almost ignore the netcode of a car that is 3 or 4 grid positions infront or behind?

its a little harsh to adjust your line off the start because sometimes you need the pack of cars to be neat through T1, or maybe even a little drafting before making a more secure move on the car ahead. plus I want my wheels straight because turning will cause wheel spin or a slower start because you have swerved up the road doing an "S" at the green lights i guess you know what i mean. I wonder if this was partly the cause of some of the problems in the first lap we've been having.

Rolling starts may eliminate it? but i dont prefer to do rolling starts, i like the starts we have already...F1 style.

is there a way to time the netcode + the start lights to work together so you receive packets as the lights change?

is there anyway to limit this happening to the cars directly around your own car? i dont care for a slight delay in the other cars which dont affect me, but i would like to know what the car infront is doing as the lights go green.

Does anyone experience this:

you have already run races with people in the grid but when the race restarts, it feels like the guy infront of you on the grid, doesnt pull away on the green light? its just a small delay, a second? the name doesnt show lag, the car just appears to have a slow start.

i get this, so i sometimes back off the throttle only to find the guy has accelerated away and then i am slower and so the car behind me catches up? or i will turn left or right to avoid him only to find that i just moved off my line for no reason.

to solve this i have just started flooring it at the start and hoping the guy infront has actually gone too, if he hasnt then, well, im going to crash into him.

this is on all servers i get this

i think a le mans prototype clone should have a priority right now

Quote from M.SCHUMACHER :

sry but i don't quite follow how do i enter lfs folder im pretty new too all this

when you downloaded LFS, you extracted the game into a folder of your choice, in there is a skins folder where you keep your own skins. possibly C:\LFS S2. try to find that folder and explore it.

skins_x is where other peoples skins get placed when they are automatically downloaded when you play online so dont put your skins in there and dont use ones out of there either for obvious reasons.

once you have the skin in the correct folder, you need to select it in game, go to garage, select your car and choose "new colours" then select the skin at the bottom of the page.

I assume you went to www.lfsworld.net and uploaded your skin there already.

oh and ignore the guys who hold World Records on high horses.

i would like to see broken windows + lights. i would like to see mirrors fly off when doors are rubbed.

hmm tell that to the audi r8 team

cockpit view here

ok, looks like i need to fit a seatbelt to my chair.

does anyone know when logitech is releasing a wheel with an airbag? illepall

yeah the CMX viewer available for download off the http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=addons page and use print screen to get a screenshot and paste it into graphics program is an easy way to do it, not sure if you have that or what but it sure makes skin making easier.

there should be something blocking cars from going up and round the back there and sticking like glues to the tyre barrier. heres my suggestion.

just make the cars fall through the floor and reset
