Well, i know when i set my TV up as the secondary monitor (its an old shitty TV, not HD ready) I can use the ATI control pannel (im sure nvidia have the same sort of options) to set it up right.

When i 1st pluged mine in, it was black and white but not flickery. I changed the colour easily in the ati options (NTSC to PAL, not so sure where, i clicked everything to find it)

But as for flickering off the bottom ofthe screen, i'm not 100% sure what you mean. Do you mean a flickering like a bug in a game or the mouse move out of the TV's view and moves the rest of the display move with it?

If its the mouse move, screen move scenario, then the screen rez for the TV is too large, if its the flickery like a bug, then i dont know. If anything, it should all be sortable in the gfx card's options, as it should be compatable of all regions and TV types.

Right, i'm making my own brake disks from scratch. I've made my own rims so i might aswell finish the job off properly and add brakes

I've made the disk (calipers are beings modeled as i type) and got some decent textures of a forum but when i map them to the disk, they dont come out right, any ideas?

The image size is 800x800 and the disk is 200x200 (according to the XYZ thingy at the bottom) so i dno if that would make any difference, also, they are totaly 3D, both disk's have a front, back, side and the holes on the disk, so that might be another factor.

I've added the texture and a render of the disks so you can see their layout, but as you should be able to see, the nearest disk is pure white like a polo. That is the disk i have applied the texture to and obviously hasnt come out right.

I'm really pissed off now, formatted and my 3Ds scenes didnt backup!!! :banghead:

But i started to work on a new scene, FXO this time, gonna get the car done then move onto enviroments

Rims were done by me from scratch (with a walkthrough from viper-gt cheers for that dude) and im really pleased with them, especially because they are my first actual model i have created! They are still a WIP btw... and how do i get the black square to dissapear from the brake pads? i've tried everything i know but nothing has worked.

Also, Don: Did you model that woman or did you download her from somewhere?

David

Me wants that :P

Along with a LX GTR car, LFS needs another 4WD GTR, RB GTR would be sensational

Great video dude. the angles work well, the cuts, the music, the lot, awesome.

Everything fits, transitions look lovely and i think the high quality of the vid makes it work better. The music fits the video very well, albeit not to everyones taste, but its does its job great.

What program you edit this in? I'm for some reason thinking Vagas but i could be wrong.

I've never done that on that combo!

LMAO tho, it's like dominos, one goes, the whole lot does.

Plz Made Knight Riders car K.I.T.T

it would be great. Car XRT of course.

I'm pritty sure that already out there. (either that or i've seen some like kitt)

Hey Jack, nice to see a familiar face.

Beings its on the drag strip, set the clutch to be your brake pedal? You can use the handbrake to stop once you cross the line!

Quote from nutty boy :

Wow nice. Wouldn't it be better if you made a start at the other end though.

In the pits?

PS Scawen: LFS is undrivable with a gamepad

Nonsence, i know loads of people and myself use a gamepad.

Never had a hard job driving once.

WTF! Only in America! As the saying goes.

Even the bloke said "In the U.S., sooner or later, everything winds up in court"

Cheers for the replys guys.

100 views, 9 downloads on two replys? Something dont add up. *crys*

Quote from Astro [ BJRL ] :

Is this legal ( kind of )? You have to finish by your own effort ?

I know there is a way to drive along slowly using the starter-engine. I have done it once, but seem to remember auto-clutch must be off and you had to drive in a high gear, or something. Maybe it won't work in all cars ?

I wasn't Shift+S'ing on the last lap or two, an help i got was greatly recieved .

I stll cant unlock!

Delved a bit into it last night and i think it does connect. If i type me username in wrong, it tells me there isnt that nick on the system, if i type me password wrong, it tells me the GAMEpassword does not match, but when i get them right, it says unlocking error.

Help please!

"296 people have read this tutorial and still don't know how to drive or behave"

LMFAO, that made me laugh.

Great tut, given the link to a few people i know that arent very good at LFS and dont know many racing rules. As already said, good to read

Hmm, i'm in two worlds about no chicane BL. If it was to be removed, add something a bit further down. (as said before about using the bridge, would be rather neat tbh) or maybe make the last few turns just before and after the last sector checkpoint twisty.

Basicly, take something away, add elsewhere.

Quote from ORION :

Hm I dont know in how far the 64 and 32 bit versions differ, but the unlocking worked for me and all others. Dunno if one of them used the 64bit version though.
Are you sure the windows firewall isnt blocking LFS?

Yes, LFS is in the exceptions list. I can get the online server list for the demo ok, no problems there, just unlocking.

EDIT: I can connect to demo servers and race.

I have a problem. I cant unlock! I am running Vista (again) and i went to unlock and poof 'Unlocking Error'

I tried on U12, nope, i've also tried on U13, nope still! I done a clean instal of LFS on standard U, same, U12, same, U13, same.

Im running 64bit version if that makes a difference .

I remember them. S2 Licence cures the cancer.

I remember seeing a post somewhere about a making a Maze on BL3, so i have.

Not the best im sure, but it does its job alright i rekon. I think it'll be great for a Cops & Robbers but how it would be set out and started, rules etc i dont know. Also it might be good for a "Find XXX" like a finish line or a tire etc. Its got some narrow gaps, some big, some with big empty spaces and a few dead ends so its good for some cars. If a CnR event was held on it i suppose Robbers could be the UF1 or the MRT (but remember dead ends and to my knowledge the MRT has no reverse gear!) or hide and seek! lol. MRT hide, UF1 seek.

I dno, use as you wish. You may modify it as you please but if you post it on here, just state i did the basics / credit me.

Cheers, and have fun. David.

Quote from Scawen :

Please can someone else tell me if their joystick or game pad is reported as a joystick or gamepad. Only one reply per controller type will do.

Mine tells me its a Cyborg Force Rumble Pad, which it is, but underneath it says Steering Wheel, which it isnt, its a joypad.

Doing a 20 lap race on AS Club, was in 1st with Strudders catching up since the beginning. Got to the last corner on lap 18 and bang, no petrol. :banghead: Stuck the clutch in and tried to roll to the 1st pit box and to top it all off, i stop 2 metres from the box. :chair:

Luckly the nice man GianniC pushed me into the box a lap later.

Couldn't believe it, would of been a great close last two laps.

Anyone else got an even like this? Tell us.

The 90degree min steering should be awesome! My xbox wheel dont fully lock so now it _should_ turn properly for me.

Nice one Scawen.

Downloading now.

If i read right. Instead of (imagine real life) racers going to England, race on their famous track, then go to Germany, race on their track, then to the Netherlans, etc etc but do it in LFS on say an English style track, then to a German style track, then to a Netherland type track etc etc? like how the F1 does it?
