If you have a bullet cam then hell yeah bring it
I've no doubt I can rustle up a handheld mini DV from somewhere, to plug it into.Please bring its cables, and if you have a microphone for it then please bring that too.
Cheers mate.

Uni's over for ever now mate, the degree show was last week. I dunno, I'm a bit "arted out" right now to be honest. Give me a week or so to relax and watch some football and I could probably get 'round to helping you.
Drop me a PM and I'll give you an e-mail address.
Also I'd suggest you register at Master Skinnerz and send me a P.M through that board or something. That way we don't clog up this board having a personal converstion with each other in what's actually not the right section for skin requests

The Angry Angel posted this in the Linux server thread, I must admit it's news to me. but it would be worth checking since he seems to have pretty sound technical knowledge.
You need to open the following:
29339 TCP
63392 TCP and UDP
Yes, both TCP and UDP need to be used on the final port. LFS uses UDP to transfer car position, as its quicker.

The little kink on the back straight of Aston club, and the first chicane at Westhill with the tyre stacks.
Both for the same reason, they're something of a leap of faith and being quick through them requires you to turn in earlier than feels right at first, you have to trust that the kerb is giong to pop up where you expect it to. T2 at Westhill is another I enjoy, although there the turn in point doesn't feel quite as "wrong"

Right, got your new shot & it's much better, like I said I'll do something with it later, watching your team play football is today's priority...come on Holland!!
I take the nooblear missile for a spin occasionally, but only offline or if I'm on a server with just a couple of other people. The very few times I've tried to race it in a full field has resulted in more T1 carnage than a field full of foxes at SO classic.
Personally I find the FO8 to be a much more rewarding drive, the lack of traction control and the fact that it doesn't have mental brakes means you just can't go into a corner waaaaay too fast and rely on the car to pull you 'round it in quite the same way as you can in the Sauber.

There's a couple of tricks you can pull within LFS itself to improve your screenshots.
Get a high resolution version of the skin preferably 2048 pixels square [bigger doesn't make much difference] and use it for screenshots.
By which I don't just mean take the 1024 pixel skin and double its size, but actually
make a 2048 pixel version next time you make a skin.
Under the game options tab turn the skin compression off when you want to take screenshots I think that's in the game/misc section.
Any ideas what sort of "edit" you'd like?
I'll have a bash at it later, but I intend to watch the football first

Naaaah a format other than jpg is just gonna mean a bigger file.
PNG or TIFF would be better ones to use than bitmap... they just make the baby router cry.
If you've maxed your video card's settings then only increasing the screen resolution within LFS is going to give you a better quality [and bigger] shot BUT that's going to give you a frame rate hit, so it's just a question of balancing eye-candy and system performance.

I can see from your screen shot that you have AF set to 16x which will make a big difference. Unfortunately like most of the English I only speak English, so I have no clue wtf your windows screen grab is all about
As for screenshotting the game, well I just use the windows print screen function even though I have fraps installed.
If your screenshots are coming out as small as that then check the fraps settings to make sure that the software isn't setup to take screenshots at a specific [small] size.

LFS does not use the advanced features of your video card like Anti Aliasing or Anistropic filtering by default. You have to force it to do so by r/clicking on your desktop and opening the properties box, from there, click settings and advanced, which should get you into the control settings for your video card. My Radeon runs the catalyst control software which has a tab labelled 3D. underneath that is the settings I want to alter. The type of graphics card in your machine will determine what your options panel looks like.
Enabling AA and AF will give LFS a much smoother appearance, and enable you to grab a higher quality screenshot.

I'd guess that your host would need to install the dedicated server package for LFS onto the machine you're renting and ensure that port 63392 is open for the game to run through, and AFAIK that should be about it.
I'd suggest sending a PM to somebody like UK CTnet's Sam H or and asking since they have plenty of experience with LFS servers.

Unfortunately the bullet cam we were intending to use fell off the front of the Elise my mate failed to tape it to securely enough and went underneath it halfway around Donington. Needless to say it doesn't work very well any more.
It seems unlikely we can get another, so at this point the answer is probably not from us.

Opening ceremonies are always pants, but I have to say that this one was a bit "special", I really couldn't figure out what the big brass looking "instruments" that everyone seemed to be banging were all about.
I only managed to catch a few minutes of the opening games as I was on a bar crawl with some friends. From what little I saw the Costa Ricans were giving the Germans far too much space and far too much respect, there will be harder games to come no doubt. Still, it's nice to get off to a flying start with a win, and opening games with plenty of goals always set a tournament up nicely.

click that link, find your router in the list, click the link for your router, click the link for Live for speed follow the on screen instructions.
If you're not using a router then ensure port 63392 is open since that's the one LFS uses.

Follow that link, and you'll probably find your router listed, click the link for your router then click the link for "Live for speed" and follow the on screen instructions.
If you've already done that then I'm a bit stuck as to how to help you further. When I checked to see if I could connect to you, the in game server browser said that there were 49 occupied servers, and that I could join 48 since 1 [presumably yours] had not replied. It could have been a master server scanning problem I suppose, but I did hit refresh several times, and it made no difference, which struck me as a bit odd since LFS world could see your game.

Easy...
Big green square = full auto.
Icon that looks like a bloke running = sports mode.
AV = Aperture priortity [auto shutter]
TV = Shutter priority [auto aperture]
M = Full manual
Figure out how to adjust the ISO via the cunning marked "ISO" button, sorted.
My day:- Get out of bed deal with the mail, head down to uni, argue with the porter over when the building will be open to clean up after the show. Wander around the all the seperate elements of the degree show for the eleventy millionth time. Take the mickey out of the performance artist dressed as a mime clown [again]. Ring the person supposed to be keeping me company to find out why he's not. Tell him to get out of bed & put phone down. Scream burger at the Friary pub. Back to uni, discover my companion has finally turned up. Play "bowls" with two plastic bottles of water and a flip flop [made sense when we were bored].Snap a few pointless photos. Solve lack of paint crisis for somebody from BSc Product Design. Come home, eat, discover thread, post reply.
Nice clear shots, you must have been quite close to get them on the 18-55 kit lens.
I too own a 350d, they are great cameras. As Tristan has already said, I'd advise you to pick up a skylight filter and leave it permentantly attached to the lens, that stops the actual lens getting scratched, and since the filter shouldn't cost you more than a fiver it's a disposable item.
Here's one shot from a recent shoot I did covering one of the many uni bands.

Literally the first render I have ever done.
The white tail spoiler has been lost in the white background, and the top of the instument bezel on the dashboard has gone white, so I suspect there's some reading in store for me to figure out why.
Anyways for what it's worth here it is. Scene courtesy of Ian H. of DS autos.

Master Skinnerz link
It does include using them as well as making them...you just have to read down a little way.

Don't forget to save your new skins in the directory LFS\Data\skins

If you prefer some real world brands then you can have this one that I quickly created in between these two posts presuming you have software that can read a photoshop document file [.psd]
N.B I haven't stretch compensated this.

The ALMS plate came from somewhere on Master Skinnerz, I think it might have been Al Heely or Ian H who posted it, I can't remember...anyway credit to whoever did create it.
I thought I had a DTM style plate somewhere but it would seem not... oh well hope that helps you.
