I've got the black sky in widescreen too. Would it help to mention that I was already seeing some other less noticeable areas (eg. the water at Fern Bay) going black in widescreen before this patch?

Quote from LFSn00b :

Uhh, i dont know, what ad did you put in that?

This one.

Quote from LFSn00b :

using them right now could you do also the road sponsors in FE2 start?

Did you install JAroad_AD.dds? Otherwise post a screenshot cos I'm not sure which ad you're talking about.

Very nice job with the crash and gravel sounds, though obviously I wouldn't like to hear them too often when playing

Thought I might share my advert/real life textures in case anyone lieks.

Two versions; one for people using plain old Patch Y, the other for people who've installed Test Patch 18 (or higher).

It's not my style but it's not hard to do so here you go. No more Michelins.

Here's the simplest possible whitewall sidewalls - just a white dds file with an all white alpha channel.

There's a hires Goodyear in the sidewalls I use. It has a weathered effect though which might not be what you're after.

I've updated my South City shopfront textures (see the dds folder in zip, the pic folder is advertising signs).

The textures squashed to 50% of their proper size at the side of the gantries at SO have always bugged me. I thought this might have been fixed in the new patch.

I've made a lo-res version for people worried about FPS. I also noticed that the versions I posted earlier didn't include any mipmap levels (I can't see a difference but the LFS originals have them) so here's another hires file as well.

OK, so this is basically the same set but I've toned down the stencil effect on the Yokohamas quite a bit.

Yeah - I didn't put much effort into the preview image...

Here are some hires tyre sidewalls for the new patch with the fantasy brands replaced by real lifers.

Here are some tyre textures too - in both hires and normal-res versions. Don't really see the point in hires tyres though unless you're taking screenshots.

Here's Aston too - not much change there still very much the BMW Sauber track.

I've gradually been updating the advertising textures in my LFS. I think they're all done now so in case anybody might like them here they are.

I'm happy for people to use and edit these files however they wish provided they aren't reposted as your own work without a credit.

Notes: The file 'Standgfx.dds' is shared between Blackwood, Fern Bay and the Autocross tracks.

Don't forget to back up your dds folder before you replace your existing files with these ones.

Ha ha, of course it is littered with Starbucks but I just didn't fancy including any...

I might post psd files here for anybody to alter to their heart's content.

In some parts of London you might see about 5 chicken joints within a block - but most of them would ultra-dubious KFC rip-offs ('FCKF', 'Master Fried Chicken', 'Dixie Halal Chicken' etc).

Check this site out for good examples: http://badgas.co.uk/chicken/

Shamefully I can recall purchasing 'food' from some of these establishments, albeit while heavily under the influence.

I have now added a 'KFC' version, in case anyone's interested.

Glad you agree.

Now that I'm thinking about it again, I might have a go at a KFC version. London's littered with fried chicken places.

I'm a vegetarian actually - so it's all the same to me. I couldn't bring myself to make it a McDonalds, and nothing else felt like it would be remotely realistic.

Hi racers,

I've replace the fictional South City stores with their real-life counterparts (or thereabouts). I've tried to keep a bit of a pikey feel as we are talking about Sarf London after all :P

These aren't high-res textures, they're just a straight swap for the originals.

[edit] - I've added a KFC version for those that prefer battery chicken to battery cow. The final screenshot shows that version in action.

They'll be used in racing in a flash if the performance is there. I can definitely see some potential - compared to using regular tyres the wheel/tyre assembly might be lighter, sidewall flex might be reduced, and brake cooling potential might be improved.

Aye. I've just tried racing the XR Turbo on R1s (using slickmod) against UF GT and XF GT. It's slower than the FWD GTs, but not by TOO much. A mildly uprated version (bit lighter, bit more power) that could run legitimatly on slicks would be prtty cool.
