Raising the coast value and decreasing the power value in the LSD settings will make any car less likely to spin under sudden hard acceleration.

Doing this will increase your lap times, since the effect is similar to slipping the clutch a little, effectively you're reducing power to the drive wheels. Increasing rear downforce and toe in will also make the car more stable, but ultimately unless you're trying to drive with a keyboard, smoothness is the key to driving any of the cars in LFS. None of them take kindly to being booted in the arse.

Plane.

Canon or Nikon?

I see that you have visited Master Skinnerz and downloaded some of the skin kits available. I suggest you now visit the link below, I'm sure the information will be of use to you.

The glass is half full.

RAC or LX6?

A few high res .dds files but only on the driver/car:-alpinestars gloves, steering wheel, callipers and brake discs.
If skins are considered a mod then a few of those too.

That's all I'm interested in, in the past I've had several games busted by 3rd party mods, and these days I just stay away from them [although I'm not suggesting that the ones here aren't properly coded.]

ZOMG can you make me a skyline skin?

Quote from tristancliffe :

One of these days, if I ever get more spare time, I ought to make another movie for LFS. Just a shame I used nearly all my ideas (and all of my skills) to make the first one I wish I was more talented.

Perhaps I could help you with that,maybe provide some assets or something, but you'd need to remember to turn your MSN on

FXR_Jonnason

As per request, this skin wears number 1 and has the name J.K.Jonnason. It also has yellow mirrors to distinguish it from the number 2 car.

FXR_Jonasson_2048.jpg - high quality skin for offline play
FXR_Jonasson_1024.jpg - This one needs to be uploaded to LFS world for online play.

Unfortunately the link I had for the 1991 race is now dead, but this link

http://emergencyfork.net/bathurst92divx.avi for the '92 race is still working. Be aware that's a 600 odd mb file. It's Aussie TV coverage [channel 7 iirc]

:shhh: Don't admit to things like that, somebody will ask you to make them a Supra skin or something.

Fair point and absolutely correct.

I presumed that although the original context of the thread was within the LFS "simiverse", the following discussion had broadened it somewhat, which influenced my reply.

Topipc title:- "Is this really allowed???"

If you want to continue to enjoy the freedom to ask questions like that, then yes it is, and possibly in fact has to be.

Most of us don't consider extremism of any form to be rational or defensible, but there are those that do, and telling anyone that they can't think/say literally anything they want is the top of a slippery slope.

So you don't agree with what was said to you on that server, as matter of fact neither do I but there's plenty of others out there, click one.

I'd only consider it appropriate to take some sort of action if I saw a physical manifestation of extremist opinion.

Quote from Midnight_purple :

joen, Have you seen the other ascona tread? OR ANOTHER F**CING SKIN WHICH LOOKS LIKE A CAR!!!!!! I DON´T WANT NEW LIGHTS!! JUST A SKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you get it now or are you stupid like volvo360power says

If this skin you want is to look anything like an Ascona B, it's going to be necessary to paste the grille and lights from a photo of one into the skin file surely?

Soooooooooo I guess I'll have to go and stand in the stupid corner along with all the other people who don't understand wtf you're asking for, or why you're asking for it since the result will look nothing like the Ascona B anyway... after all the XRT is a completely different shape.

Insert vitriol below.

Good luck with it Tristan,your enthusiasm and excitement for the car comes through in your account of the events.

Seeing the car in a photo makes me realise why you're a fox "specialist"

Quote from JJ72 :

Ohhh I thought of something similiar but it's base on Bestmotoring instead.



For Topgear you really need a witty host for the show and a good sidekick as well, but that sort of person is really hard to find?

In all seriousness, I'd be interested in contributing some written scripts, BUT I must warn you I'm involved with Becky Rose in the Sim Touring Car Cup project. I'll try to find as much time as I can to help you, cos I really like the idea, but I've gotta give the S.T.C.C priority since I signed on with them first.

P.M me if you want an MSN contact.

Cheers mate.

Riley Elf...yeah....no idea what year. First post gets it then.

FXR Kekkart.

The file labelled FXR_Kekkart_1024.jpg is the one you should upload for online use, the other one is the 2048 pixel high quality version which you can use for taking screenshots/movie work when you're playing offline.

My apologies for the rather poor approximation of the special characters from the Icelandic text, I re-created them by juggling English characters and drawing lines, rather than trying to do it properly.

I've re-created an approximation of the Kart Racing logo, I'll post it here so it anyone else who's interested can use it too.

Here's a link to a load of skinning tutorials including how to use custom skins.

I'll make you an XRR, check back later.

Close, but wrong BMC Brand

Please take a close up photo of the yellow number panel on the kart, only the number is legible in your photos. Please also take photos of the front and rear of the kart, so that it can be done accurately.

*edit heh beaten to it

Sorry, you're wrong so far.

It is English, the brand no longer exists and the model shares its name with a fantasy creature.

Make with the guesses
