i want my driver to have a different change of clothes for every day of the week and for when he wets himself at south city long in 80 bhp skips on slicks.

yeah tony that race was cool they were all blinding action hehe. i think maybe this league will be very popular so 64 signups maybe

so much fun

i must say so long definately was my favourite track there. that little twisty city section is so good in this car. Did anyone else feel there rear inside wheel lifting in those corners at speed? felt like i was on 3 wheels for most of that bit.

And then there was my erm, galactic sized error in this race. jakg knows what one im on about haha. 2 wheels after clipping the curb, counter steer to put it back on the floor, got sideways, locked up cos i was going in too hot. then I downshifted into Reverse!!!! big wipe out on that corner sorry guys, it all happened so fast i didnt expect the car to go on two wheels like that and i reacted badly making a bad situation a lot worse.

you gotta see it lol

Quote from word. :

The Geforce 6 series doesn't support transparency AA, and doesn't support super sampling AA. Only the 7 series and up.

which makes for some really awful graphics effects on my screen it seems, damn it. I cant be arsed to spend the money on a new one ill just suffer this crap until it dies a lonely death in my computer.

for some reason i get best results with "1x2 SS + 4x MS" in the combined area with 8xS radio button checked.

I cant use Super - transparancy AA. I get lots of graphic artifacts.

I need to use Multi - transparancy AA.

ive got it running better, with new textures and skies but still, i get a bit of slow down. I think its at a good balance right now.

but i think i will turn some settings down at times for performance.

attached is the latest results

in this case installing any driver would have undone whatever I did to make it do that. so fixing the driver fixed the users noobness in this case.

cheers

seems my nvidia 6800 is getting a bit long in the teeth i dont know if i can afford upgrades at all, i bought a power supply about a month ago that I still have to pay off.

Quote from horrgakx :

I've seen that before, I know what you mean. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it but will follow with interest. HOWEVER, drivers are at v162.18 so yours are very old. Get the latest ones from here; http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_162.18.html (they are WinXP drivers).

Updated to the 162.18 drivers now, it seems to of undone what I had done to cause the stripes/strobing of the buildings. But its still there to some extent, just, a different type of strobing but it is less distracting while racing. cheers.

Hiya I messed about with my graphics now its acting a bit weird for me and distracting. I tried the nhancer briefly and got this result and now I dont know what I did. I'm going to spend some time today trying to get it to stop flickering and driving me nuts when I play.

I get this weird strobing stripes on the buildings at south city, and people names in the back windows of cars too but on the big sky scrapers in south city its really bad.

Heres some attached screenies, i paused the game and just moved my view very slightly and this is what happens.

The strobing stripes on the buildings flash a lot while racing and its distracting as hell.

* No custom textures right now just for testing purposes ill add those later once the settings are right.

My graphics card is:

nVidia GeForce 6800 series with 92.91 drivers (i think)

8x AA and 16x AF

Any ideas?

Or just centralise the weight distrubution of the driver so wether you sit on the left or the right, it doesnt matter? Sure the FoV would be different but the actual bonus to the cars lap times would be reduced? just thinking along these lines thats all. in the name of balancing and fairness over the name of realism, many multiplayer games have had to make the compromise.

Yes yes no video, keep talking, the show must go on!!!

this is proper cool so far.

aye I went on the bnj server the other day, -5 points when i entered then I realised I had hard track setup, so -5 points more, then I finished the race got +7 points, then in the second race got punted off the track, another -5 points. So I lost 8 points overall when I left the server, and -1% on my license. Not sure if i want to rush back there with the penalties.

Quote from mrodgers :

I don't know how folks can switch back and forth, except for Quicksilver, because he stated he doesn't use cockpit view, thus, view is in center.... I just can't get visualization down using RHD. I've been driving IRL for much longer than in sim racing. It would be like trying to switch your writing hand, or throwing a ball, etc.

Thus, I'm LHD.

IRL, with the gear stick on the opposite hand, that would be even weirder than sim racing on the wrong side. I don't think I could possibly shift at all using my left hand.

I am the same with RHD.

What bugs me so much about my DFP wheel is that the gear shifter is fixed on the right hand side of the wheel. I like that the G25 you can put it on the side that suits you.

It is impossible with the newest version of Blender. You need v2.42 and you can import LFS cars in .obj format.


Luckily I still have the cars in .blend format and have uploaded them here:

Here from a post a little bit up from here.

I would sooner read the spam smilies and blue flag spam than listen to 2 guys whine at each other about whos fault an incident was. Do you want to read and listen to normal people having fun, or do you want to listen to depressing argumentative and negative comments?

I would like to see all text messages stopped in the race, some kind of forced blocked messages option. With something like "You are now free to chat" once last place has crossed the finish line.

Or simply a disclaimer. "If you do not block messages at start of the race, you accept the spam".

you're a good drifter when you stop using the keyboard to steer.

Quote from N3il.H :

what do i use to watch these spr files

save them to your live for speed folder, SPR - single player replay have its own folder and MPR - multi player replay has its own folder. Save them there in the right place, load up LFS and watch the replay.

The hotlaps are emptied with the incompatible patches. But the p.b.'s stay, you can delete your p.bs from a link on lfsworld though, if you want. They could be old p.bs if I am right about this.

Thanks guys.

Time to party :yipee:

no fair, I like unicorns and all is good.

Best wishes to the mcrae family and friends.

GT cars, DTM for me. These always get me glued to the t.v, the others make me fall asleep on the sofa. I like to see tin tops in close racing and lots of overtaking. I assumed that touring cars fits into this option. I find that I prefer to watch the porsches mix it up in the lower classes than the prototype cars. I like to recognise cars from the roads I drive on.

:d

one question....
while i play online with this or other custom skin,can other players see my skin or only me?

other people cant see your skin as a demo user, when you get S2 license people automatically download your skin when you go on the same server as them. I think if you send your skin manually to people and get them to put it in their skins folder it might show up. (its much nicer to just forget about it and let it download for you though). Good skin.

Ulster GP 2007. It was wet. Very wet. But addicts of Jim Pearson's GPL version of Dundrod might still recognise some landmarks:

Really good vid that one, an hour long too, thanks.

Those guys are nutters, the last 10 minutes were great onboard shots.
