Real_firefly: if you like Tom Coronel skins: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12660
It's a request but is public!

I remember a skin which has been possibly made by Maggot (but not 100% sure); it was a Canadian Jet skin for FOX.
It replicates all panels and rivets and logo of a military jet.
Was that skin public?
Because i'm making a WW2 Spitfire skin for FOX and i would like to see that skin so i can use it's coordinates as a reference for placing rivets and create fake panels by my own or at least for the existing panels (not using any part of that skin, it's just for help on WHERE place rivets and draw fake panels).
I'm really lazy eh?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh, a quick prev of the skin...

That's a nice first skin! Good job
And now some help, for detailed logos of LOT of brands:
http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/
And for skinning kits\templates of LFS cars (believe me they help a lot)
http://www.lfs-gear.com/kitz.html
Happy skinning!

A worn out version of the same skin.
Ready for battle!
Next in the list: spitfire and "black sheep" corsair...

Xenowolf: Nice eagle! Very nice drawing!

2 FOX skin inspired by World War II american fighters planes.
Ammunition provided with skins.

all I'll say.

That was really funny!
"All pit crew must use fisher price tools to cut the cost" Ahahahhah!

F1 deserve Bernie.

Leifde: you got pm.

Major crashes:
-His Fulvia 1600
-My brother Lancia Delta
Then he managed to scratch while parking, or hitting animals ALL the cars we had, he even managed to rear bump my mother car with his at a stop, she was a little angry after...
Funny part it's that Italy airforce let him pilot expensive fighter jets for living...
It's just that pilot dont watch ahead while driving, you know there is autopilot for that
Still remembering him taking me back form school and while driving he was speaking to me and watching me instead of road.
Me: "Dad, the truck".
He continue speaking.
Me: "Dad, the truck".
Still continue speaking while wathcing me.
Me: "Dad, brake!".
Him: "OMG!".

Me and my brother NEVER let him drive when we go somewhere more far than 1 km...

ZORER: Good that he is ok!

Yup i was thinking the same about the logo!
I've already found that using the effect in another way it's better, unfortunately i tryed it after i "finished" the skin, oh well i will restart it, and i will add some paintjob too!

+1 (for the 45 lock)
I dont see how this could affect the simulation when we can adjust 0.001 on drive train etc..
Then when Devs have finished more important aspects of the simulation, a dedicated car for drifters and no setup change for "road" cars would be nice.

A 7UP XRG skin.
I will not post it in the finished section because:
1) 1024 version look crap
2) I think i will do it again because i'm not nearly satisfied with the "bubbles" effect, but as i dont know when i will redo it, here it is if someone want to use it!

Another nice features would be the "parallel" starting grid (sorry for my bad english; mmh like all the cars start side by side) but no 20 cars race with this, unless devs will make a 50m wide racetrack.

Jmracing: yes, dont follow Italian rallycross anymore i think they called now: "Speed on dirt championship" and "Speed on ice championship", basically they have Gr.A,Gr.N and prototypes classes (wich means from Gr.B to awesome prototypes to "let see what happen if we remove air restrictor from old Gr.A" )

WIP UF1 preview...

Well done!
It's a nice skin, and i would say also a finished one!
Right amount of decals and nice paintjob!

Quick idea about xrg, could go?

Quote from jmracing1 :

I have raced the EIRC championship (http://www.magicturtles.com/eirc/index.php?lang=eng) with FXR on graveltyres, but the physics is just not right. Lets face it, to just change tyres on a tarmac/race car with optimised downforce and hard suspension doesnt make it a good rallycross car. It still has the tarmacphysics.

And please dont float away with the ideas, ice surface is not rallycross, and this is a rallycross suggestion thread.

My bad then, and i apologize, but after a rallycross update (proper car , and possibly more accurate physics) an ice/snow track wont hurt anyone!
And yes there is also rallycross on ice/snow... at least where i live.
Dont think FXR would suite for rallycross an update rb4 would be better, the "crash/contact" problem would be also a nice idea but i think the devs are already working on it.
Oh less "jumpy" track would be better.

Quote from Jamexing :

Problem is, ice doesn't handle the same as mud. And that is one FLAT track. And ice racing needs studded tirew if anyone's going to drive at faster than granny speeds, tires we don't have yet (hopefully).

I know that, as i have to drive on the snow at least twice a week during winter on a mountain road, without snow tires. (they are "thermal" tires, that work with low temps but no snow tires, and i dont drive at granny speed)
Gravel and mud dont feel real in LFS, at least to me, but their are in, and it's better to have it instead of not have it.
An ice rallycross track with reduced grip would be something and not too time consuming for devs, then when more important aspect of the game will be developed a huge improvement on dirt and cold surfaces would be awesome!

And reproducing all tipe of gravel/mud/ice/snow that there are in real life it's impossible... or at least very time consuming; i can think of a lot of tipe of snow surfaces that i encountered while driving on the same mountain road, fresh "dust" snow, compressed fresh snow, "crispy" cold snow etc...
Still an icy/snowy rallycross track with reduced grip mud would be a very nice start...

JMRACING1 : Very good ideas, as i like rallycross, it would be some very interesting features! Proper tracks and a dedicated car would be awesome!
How about an ice track? Like trophee Andros? (pic for the ones who dont know) No need to remodel physics just paint the mud in white and add less grip to surface and it would be a nice start! But i think there are more important thing for devs right now...

Supercars differ from normal sportscar in one major thing. The 1st priority is always power, anything else coming secondary. With normal sportscars you can have quite pleasent ride, sufficent power and good handling. But a normal sportscar won't scare you to death when you press the loud pedal little too deep

So which three would you choose?

+1 for Dauer 962 and Koenig c62
I think that a group c car (not road gr.c like this ones) would be a very interesting add on, expecially in WE... less in FE club...

Quote from speedfreak227 :

i just came across this thread and i´m not reading the 100 previous posts, so pardon me if i´m repeating something that someone has already said.


the last few imports i´ve owned wouldn´t even let a car start in gear without activating a "clutch interlock override". yet another reason to not buy domestic. (ford, gm, crysler in this case as i´m in canada)

Japanese and German

Uh? Never heard of any of this device here! But maybe it's because everyone knows how manual gearboxes works so maybe it's a North America thing...

Quote from Shotglass :

you dont know what traffic truly is until youve driven a car in an italian city

We actually dont have traffic in Italy.
We have caos.

In my small province 75% of the crashes are made by American people of the local Nato Base. (Province population close to 200.000 Air force guys close to 10.000) I see very very stupid accidents by American guys but i see also very very "undishiplined" accidents by Italians (by undishiplined i mean dont respect signals, limits etc..)

About the clip i think that the father it's an idiot.

Quote :

So...

Stalling when stopped at a light, and the car behind you thinks you will be moving and rear ends you, then that is an accident.

Stalling or not being quick enough at a light on a hill and rolling back into the car behind you, then that is an accident.

Stalling in bumper to bumper traffic on a freeway/highway, and you can cause accidents behind you.

Never seen or heard of something similar.

I dont know if there is an english version, but if it is i suggest you to read his book.
A very positive and simple person that has not been discouraged by his handicap (but is a funny book too, it's a kind of funny autobiography)

"Hey I just spent 2 days in Kyoto, guess what? No ring! Then I realised it was a race sim and not reality. Get a grip."

Ehm, it was a joke. See there was even the smile thingy
So are those spyware and everithing real? Or it's a safe download?

EDIT: Ryanry64 posts already answered my questions. going to download!

"win ratio = hair color variable x hair length / opponent weight difference"
Damn... i know i didnt have to cut my hair!
And to explain my previous post: in hockey weight difference it's a huge advantage.
A good way to cheat in sports are hormones (the "grow up" ones, my bad english again) the results in phisical change could be very ehm... disgusting.
Does more streght help you in driving? Michelle Mouton proved that it's not the case.
Why are some girls liking motorsport? And why are some guys playing volleyball? (in Italy it's more of a girls sport)
Who knows? Maybe they dont like other sports, maybe they would try something new... who knows?
Then be good in driving, volleyball, or whatever sport it's a mix of hard practice, talent and luck...

Last month we played a friendly ice hockey game with Agordo womens team.
More than half of the women Italian national team of Torino 2006 were there.
Thank god i'm 30 kg (65 lbs) heavier than them.
We managed to beat them only because we were big, but they give us a lesson of agressiveness, teamplay and COMPETITION. They played to the death all the game long.
Well if hormones had a decisive role i dont think they will look like normal girls and have fancy flower painting on skates blade holders.
If hormones had a decisive role they will look like comunist german swimmers and have skulls painting on blade holders...
Not looking at the game i would say they were only "normal girls" (dunno if it's offensive to say "normal girl" in case sorry for bad english).
Another normal girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_hDIPcNIIo

I think we like girls that likes motorsport because so we can have something in common and so "understand us"; like girls that play volleyball likes boy that play volleyball because they have something in common
