Quote from Blowtus :

what you may know was the best pass of all your lfs driving, can look very average to others. I pulled off a pass in the lx6 on the first turn at so long rev recently, had been looking for a way around this guy all race, got on the outside of him, forcing him slightly out of position and slower than usual, I backed off early, he drifted wide, I pulled around the inside, he outbraked me up the inside into the hairpin, but couldn't hold it and drifted a touch wide, letting me get the run from the exit. Felt great and I know it *was* great, but on the replay it just looks like a fairly mundane pass

heheh exactly.. white knuckle at the time, sounds like a good pass!

I did say it's nothing special, but in context we were both flat out fighting for position and i'm RIGHT on the limit of grip and he's a quicker lapper than me on an open track so a an achievement by MY standards maybe not by you pro's though

...well against decent oposition anyway!

Happened last night, AS2 FOX!

External view, then internal (excuse lag, housemate was downloading drivers)

Guy I passed is 'Stewart' who i have to thank for an excellent clean few laps where we were side by side for most of them!


Nothing that exciting but you might appreciate it

Just watched these for the first time, amazing videos!

One question, what's the music at the start of the Final? before the 'in car dvd' is switched off, really recognise it!

Quote from Becky Rose :

It's all done from shift-u, you can change the field of view and make the camera unlocked from other cars, but you need to have the menu's visible when you do this, then hide them again to actually record.

I've asked for FOV to be put on the mouse wheel as it needs a realtime method of editing it for camera work, but no word yet on whether it'll get implemented.

Gotcha, good call, that'd be much better, as you can get some cracking effects with the old 'Dolly in, Zoom out' trick.

Ok i'll get cracking, see you in a few months

Thanks folks

oh and thanks too Joen

Ahh ok, was wondering how people got the 'zoom' effect in the movies.

When I shift U, it goes to an external view that you can move around, but still seems attached to the car

Hehe thanks I knew that bit but I believe you can change the Field of view and unattach the camera from the car too, those are the ones i'm looking for

What are the keys for the custom views? I'm looking to make a nice edited movie, i've got editing skills but not LFS view controls LOL.

If someone could point me in the right direction, apologies if this is better suited in the movies or assitance section, I wasn't sure.

Boobs or Bums?

Motorsports photographer! would be nice to be on the 'right' side of the fence and actually make money from it

Quote from nutty boy :

I've noticed last time I was listening when they were ZWR that there is a 2 minute delay or so.

Ahh yeah I'd expect something around that, still, good if you can't get into the server or are busy doing other things

Is there a broadcast delay? just wondering as it'd be fun to spectate/race at the same time as listening (if the extra bandwidth wouldn't screw the ping anyway)

MK 4 Golf

Thanks everyone!

hahah touché

Hahaha now that you mention it.....

as for the car in Pic 6, try again! the badge is a slight clue

Quote from Becky Rose :

Very. To the point that my knickers just came off.

Lol my Photo's have never had THAT effect before!!!!

Oh and good spot indeed, that's a formula Ford! and I know what you mean about the slower cars, especially as they were using the full GP track on sunday, there were a few Mini's but they seemed to be flying round and the pack split up so much there was nearly constant traffic.

On the flip side, the F3's came round so quick they were soooo tricky to shoot

Couple more

11. Mucking about with the shutter on this one


12. Not a good idea, clearing your offroad efforts on the racing line!

Had a great day at Brands Hatch on Sunday, weather held out and the cars were stunning!

Some highlights:

1. Slightly dented 360


2. How gorgeous is this Aston!


3. TDI power! this won the race! yep that's a nice plume of black smoke! haha


4. "Oh bugger"


5. F3 in action


6. Historic Touring Cars, doesn't get much better than this!


7. GT's back out on track


8. THAT Aston again, new Bat Mobile anyone?


9. The pack stack up after the safety car comes out


10. 360 CS showing clean pair of heels to the pack



Hope you like them, comments welcome

Dan,

Good stuff! I use a 350D too! great piece of kit

I'll be at the GTRs on the 27th at Brands and probably BTCC Qualifying too

Hope this thread hasn't educated too many people and we no see an increase in this happening

Quote from buedi :

I suggested this several times, but never got heard (I think)
In the PS2 Version of Richard Burns Rally it was like that. You configured the Game to i.e. 540 Degree Lock and then when you reached 540 Degrees the Wheel stopped because of some constant Force that was applied by the game.

If you reached the end of 540 Degrees I COULD turn it more because I am MAN and MAN is more STRONG than WHEEL *ugh*! illepall

But even when driving a Rally car very wild the Force applied at the 540 Degree Lock was strong enough.

THIS in LFS and the DFP / G25 support would be perfect. It´s just annoying when you have to look at the Wheel on the Screen to see when you have reached maximum Lock
But S2 is not finished yet and I have some hope :-)

Sure it does that in LFS if you set the max lock to match in the wingman software? exactly how you say, you CAN turn it more... but it gets uber stiff.

Just wondering, how is the 6 shifter going to work with LFS? as that only has controls for Change UP and Change down?

lot of people will want to drop lots of gears in one go, after spins, or aggressive down-changing etc...

Quote from ShannonN :

Really depends on the controllers and level of experience you both are using/have. Is it an even contest in terms of experience in all cars or is your mate better in open wheelers than you, but you have an advantage in S1 type cars etc etc.

Will there be pit stops? What about FXR's at the drag striip for a laugh?
perhaps really vary it with some rally at FE6 in the LX4?
Finish it off with one of the excellent autocross layouts that are doing the rounds?

Just vary it enough to keep interest and excitment high but try to keep it level field? let us know what you finally decide on and who wins
Cheers ShannonN

We're both using wheels, and both have had the game the same length of time, I'm slightly quicker usually but mainly cos i'm more smooth rather than outright pace.

We're totally flexible so pit stops and drag races are all good suggestions

Hadn't thought of autocross either, that'd be fun in the LX6 maybe to add a little trickyness into it.

I'll let you know the outcome
