Quote from devildare :

hamilton or no hamilton, when a driver has to tell its engineer that he, "cant go any slower" in whats meant to be the pinnacle of motorsport, then there is definitely something wrong.

Whatever though, mercedes have no idea themselves why the car is so pathetic on its tyres, so i am not gonna call for a witch hunt on pirelli.

Ferrari and lotus seem to have it figured it out, and thats already better than vettel cruising to easy wins imo. Rather have some competition than no competition at all.

- hopefully this gonna efect you guys and you stop posting such stuff. Please take your time and do something that could be worth to be shown.

Make it longer with a proper plot and it's gonna be a bomb. I am tellin' you. Colors, edit are just awesome.

This.

WTCC. It's impossible for Seat or BMW to overtake Chevy on the straight. It's like Chevy uses DRS, LOL. Anyways, awesome fight at Hungaroring.

Fwank pls, wtf is this. :|

This.

Really, no comments. Driving 7th before pit stops, did not that dramatic mistake, so I had to pit unplanned, I was not able to calculate how many fuel do I need to I refueled a little bit too much, I was still pretty ok with the speed, but guys in front were lighter, so was not that easy to catch them (I suppose it was like that). Suddenly after pit stop wave even guy from LLM managed to go out from the pit in front of me. I was really pissed. Somehow, its still mystical from me how after pretty awesome first stint, the second was tragic even i still had a pace. Also, that Wdowiarz's ram out... It's really not cool, man. If you did a mistake at T1, be a man and not do stupid maneuvers to do anything just to not let me pass you. Couldn't wait for a next straight and pass me? Anyway, you were much lighter than me, so equals = faster. But no.. I am so unhappy. I had finished on top10... Also, that ****in' spin when there was 1 lap remaining. Those cars.. I was so blind, couldn't see corner's exit. So picked a little bit of grass and suddenly lost a control of the car..

71, seniecka

You can experience such things like at least twice during evening sessions when the grid is tight and big, so I don't see an actual point of posting this. Nothing really special, IMO. Ok, you're lucky, you got through. That's it.

Quote from The Very End :

Well then it's certainly rallypack!
Don't you let me down now Scavier, don't you ****ing let me down!!

Haha, I lol'd so much.

Congrats, guys

Quote from Intrepid :

Looks like Hamilton and Alonso have done sort of luck swap this year. Alonso has quickest car but can't seem to take full advantage of it through bad team calls, and Hamilton has managed to drag the Merc into 3rd in the WDC race without doing anything that spectacular.

It was a weird race. All the cars that were racing ended up behind those that just chilled. Most evidently Lewis Hamilton, well, until the end anyway. So much for lewis the tyre eater

Yeah. I think pretty much in the same way. All those who were behind the top guys all race long, suddenly in the end took over the role and finished in better places. Just awkward and yeah.. Bahrain could be interesting, as we see. It was pretty unexpected.

Quote from MousemanLV :

So you think the graphics are bad ?..-Go and play some bloody arcade shiznit Gran Turismo jebanutij lithuanian blat.

Graphics are completely fine. Imo, they are excellent ! They don't require a super duper powerful graphics card to run the game smoothly. In the end, it's a racing sim and I don't think that any graphic tweaks should be done at all !

Watch your mouth, ok? Don't forget that lithuanians are also understand more or less russian expressions. Why do you attack him in such a terrible and impolite way without any proper reason? Use your head for once, at least.

I must say this project successfully kept my attention whole entirely. Didn't get bored at all. It's opposite, especially from the 3min20sec (approx.) part when you take us on various circuits, somehow I felt a quality boost speaking from an artistic and technical point of view.

I just noticed that some shots are too dark or too contrast comparing with the others. That's not really good and also don't put blur on the sky. I know you wanted to blur long distance background which is real, but never blur the sky For me, a blur is not necessary at all.

Apart from that. Really high quality stuff, as MousemanLV already stated: "Proper stuff - camera angles, camera movements, camera placements, sync". Well I surely can give you a reward for a new use of camera. The shots starting from some objects on the track and then gettin' focused on the action really great thing Transitions are at pretty much good timing. So Sync was ok for me, but i would avoid that much use of speed ups. It annoys a bit.

Music was fantastic. I am not a fan of this type of music, but it fitted so well.

Well I would give 8 out of 10, but this is something fresh and inspiring and fun to watch, so 9/10. Great job.

Good stuff.

Haha, I just got punk'd.. Damn... I do usually get the sarcasm, but not this time apparently. :banghead:

Well, if it's not serious that I just got confused then But oh well.. Look at the bright side.. I gave the tips. It's up to him if it's beneficial for him or not.

I don't see the reason why sarcasm should be put into this. A guy shares his job. He is not a bad person and doesn't deserve to get this silly outburst.

Yeah, video has many problems: colors, the music out of context, poor camerawork. Instead of providing some tips (as long I see there are a several video editors commenting on this stuff), but no.

I really wouldn't like to be in his place. A person makes a video and gettin' into some kind of childish playground where everybody is just hanging around, joking. Please, stay your thoughts to yourself. We gathered here to make a constructive criticism in this particular case.

@bmwe30m3 - I recommend you:

1) lower the saturation and shadow tones - cos it's too sharp colors and the video itself is so dark.
2) use higher camera smoothness rate - it may help you control the camera more easily and nicely.
3) don't use dubstep (as long I do understand you like it) - but it requires a good skill at synchin' the video with an audio. It's a tough thing. You are an amateur and I would recommend you avoiding this at this time. Use not that dynamic and dramatic type of music. A proper song with not harsh or big transitions would be perfect at the start.
4) always re-watch the job you've done before publishing this - in this case, you see - the video end at 2:05 and blank black screen lasts till the end for around 40 seconds. It's bad thing. Pay more attention.

Well. CPU is tricky thing. Not easy to just upgrade it since, as one of you guys already stated, you need to upgrade motherboard. So.. Not a cheap excursion.

Relax, people. It's Hollywood movie. What do you expect? Ron Howard is one of the best directors in Hollywood. I expect a thrilling movie. Also the music is composed by the great Hans Zimmer. It's not a documentary. It's a movie picture. Just face it or leave it. Yeah, there will be effects and so on, but it's just a standard thing in such type of films. As I said, it's a movie picture, so artistic interpretations are welcome. All I can say. After all, it's really nice of Ron Howard to tribute Formula One and make a dedication to all fans of this motorsport, and, also, it's better to have something to watch, instead of not havin' anything at all.

EDIT: and yeah.. I agree with Roland about Chris's role playin' Hunt. I think Chris is just in wrong business. Looks too soft. As far we know, James wasn't soft at all.

Ok, I see. Thanks for vital information, Bluebird B B

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

Same here, on Windows XP I got like 2 times more FPS than the Windows 7. Also when there are a lot cars on Windows 7 my FPS used to drop to like 5 FPS, while on XP its 50+ all time.
I tried mulitiple drivers for Windows 7 but it didn't helped, so I switched back to XP just because of LFS
Guess LFS isn't really optimised for Windows 7 ( Scawen is still using XP )

Aha... I see. Will keep this in mind. Thanks for your time.
