The interface is simple yet brilliant, the controller setup is the most "tunable" I've come across to date, you can get just about anything to work, and you can adjust the game's settings to work with whatever you've plugged in.

There's a huge variety of cars to drive, from slow stuff on road tyres to twitchy GTR racers and single seat open wheelers on slicks.
The game is challenging yet fun, and from the point of view of creativiity, you can alter so much with a copy of photoshop, literally everthing from trackside hoardings to brake discs and driver gloves. Not to mention quite how easy it is to make your own paintjobs for that personal look.

Oh and in case you hadn't figured it out yet, there's a patch due out this month, which appears to be about to provide a Formula 1 race car to drive, and certainly gives a couple of new track combos and better tyre physics.

If you ask me everyone's just rotated the picture the wrong way as Kid hinted earlier....flip the jpgs posted earlier through 180 degrees and it reads Nuno Maia, I suspect it's no more than a name credit for the render.

I've noticed that you've got an awful lot of unused/little used configs running.

I wonder if you might consider setting up SO Classic Fox part 2?, and then restricting the number of connections on both servers to a slightly smaller number, say 16 or so. That way you could support more players without having 23 cars fighting for space at the first 90 degree left.

I have to say the few occasions I've been on your server I've raced from the back since I don't play the game enough to be any good at it, and I've spent all of my time either keeping out of the way of the front runners or picking my way through the wreckage of those who've crashed. I've always felt 23 reasonably quick cars on that small track was too many, but hey that's just my unimportant opinion, anyway just thought I'd throw in that suggestion.

Personally I prefer FE Gold much more and might fancy a spin on that, which of your servers have you got that setup on?

Sorry I don't know where you could get a Castrol skin for an XRR [I think that's what's in the picture anyway]

However I do know where you could get one in black or white + a whole load of JGTC type "Toyota Supra" skins for the FZR, and that's here...

Might well do... I'll look into it

[edit] it's looking likely but not definite me and a coupla mates will be there, depends on work, that's only about a fortnight before our hand in date...all our modules complete on the same day. [/edit]

There is a demo version but it stamps the fraps logo onto every frame and doesn't have full functionality...or at least I think it doesn't it's been ages since I used it...

Good luck, have fun and don't forget to go post the result in the skins section of this forum so we can all have a look

This link leads to "a beginner's guide to skinmaking" a tutorial written by Bunta who runs a website called MasterSkinnerz. You'll probably need to register in order to read it, but do so...it's worth it Master Skinnerz contains more information and resources for LFS skinning than any other website I've been able to find.

Nasty stickered up NFSU reject mess,complete with bullet holes for extra "gangsta". Just the thing to be seen in this Easter weekend

<edit> realised I think you're asking about "template" skins with lights/grills painted up to look like specific cars.... No sorry I don't know of any such thing...

Karol... dunno I just ctrl click the layer and tell it to contract the selection then hit delete </edit>

Visit this link and register for the Master Skinnerz forum

http://skinnerz.proboards26.co ... lay&thread=1120022687

Then visit this link and download the Master Skinnerz 2048 pixel sq templates, PSP will read them, they have seperate [named] layers for the major panels on the car, and a highly detailed wireframe overlay of the car, which lets you see how it all fits together.

Doing the above should show you how to line everything up, and when you've finished, just make the skin file half its size [1024px sq] and it's then the right size to use online/offline in the game.

OMG-zor so this is why I couldn't get on the LFS main site last night... all you llama fanbois were sat thinking F5'ing is the new masturbation. Calm down dear it's only a video game.

Right I'm off to download the next installment of mana from heaven and if after installing it I can't take BL GP turn one at 150mph in my V8 then I WANT MY MONEY BACK... yes devs that's right this game is s****y and I've wasted my money AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

Quote from ATHome :

This only really works in german... But in german, it works quite well

Heh..."Ferrari-arse" yeah that's appropriate

It's been kicking around unfinished since I made the Carlsberg Fox, which is essentially the same design idea. I finally managed to find a few spare hours to finish it off.

There's a bit of an Indy car feel to this one even though I know that with its high nose the V8 looks closer to an F1 car, but stuff it imho the model doesn't look so close to an F1 that we can't all play pretend

The 1024 suffers a bit in the quality stakes... it took more compression than I would have liked to use to get it under the 400kb limit, so you can have the 2048 too.

I have uploaded this to LFS world, it is public, feel free to change the numbers it's wearing but please don't edit my work any further than that.

Right now I walk/use the bus/push bike 'cos I'm a skint student, but I came across a few pics of the Cossie I used to own. The front end damage was caused when it was in a car park, I was gutted and never did find the clown who did it.

Hardly top quality, 'cos I re-drew it in about 10 minutes....[resizing it isn't really an option imho]

Hope it will solve your problem though.

To be perfectly honest, if you can hold of Macromedia Flash, you would be better using it to make a flash movie clip which could then be saved as a .swf file, which typically has a smaller size than the equivalent .gif image.

Actually, thinking about it, if you have all the images as seperate frames and can rar them up and attach them to a post I'll make a .swf file for you...

Sorry mate I'm 6 weeks from the end of a degree and currently trying to mediate a major argument bewteen the other people on my course which has the potential to blow the whole thing apart, manage a crazy workload, hold down a partime job, make sure my girl friend remembers who I am, oh and get out for a beer with my mates from time to time....

I too harbour plenty of stereotypes some positive some negative, but in the context of this forum/community, I'll keep 'em to myself unless I'm given reason to wave them about.

The only reason I ever look to see which flag is under a poster's name is to see whether or not English is likely to be their first language so that I can think about how to phrase my reply to them.

This is usually an understanding, helpful and even friendly place to be... sure there's going to be exceptions, there always is, but let's focus on the posistive and that way ensure we keep this community as it is.

This was taken through the window of a car "supermarket" [offering various marques] on the Unter Den Linden near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. [Or at least I think that's were it was... I get confused over exactly what was on which street]

Being students we didn't go inside and ask if they were actually selling it....but anyway yes the Veyron is a limited run production car, in the category of "if you have to ask how much then you can't afford it"


"Bugatti originally planned to build 300 Veyrons over five years. In March 2006, Bugatti president Bscher claimed to have 70 firm orders, selling out 14 months of production. In response, the company claims to be speeding up production, with all 70 cars expected to be built in 2006. Bscher also reported that 14 cars have been completed and most will be shipped to the United States. It is not clear how many are in the hands of customers.[1]
The cars will be sold directly from the factory to customers or at 20 Bentley dealers worldwide. These include dealerships in Miami, Florida; Troy, Michigan; Beverly Hills, San Diego, Pasadena,California; and Greenwich, Connecticut.
Maintenance will be possible at Bentley dealerships, but repair service will require a flown-in mechanic, which the company promises to be available 24 hours a day."
