Whats pearlescent paint then. I always thought it was the paint that appeared different colours with different light and viewing angle.
I would like to know the difference

That's right!

Quote from samyip :

This 2 pictures are not great, but they only took about 3mins to render. Together with Glare and mist applied. If I saved the Final Gather map file to be reused on future rendering, the render time will cut down further.

That really does look good!

Quote from mrodgers :

Just wanted to note that adding a subwoofer to a lover of music (ie, no rap crap) is not for "loud thunder bass". It adds tremendously to the balance of the music. Music contains bass, therefore it should be reproduced as accurately as the rest of the frequencies. In fact, bass is probably the most important to the sound quality of music where without it, the music just sounds dead. Without bass, any Pink Floyd song (I am a Pink Floyd fanatic), Rush, Metallica, Ozzy, or any music for that matter, wouldn't be worth listening to as you miss out on what ties everything together in music.

Of course, if you're talking a factory sound system that you think "sounds fantastic", then talk of high quality sound systems are probably above your head (no offense). If you think that even the factory upgraded "Bose system" is fantastic, then you have know idea how good an automotive sound system can be.

And even the well known high quality equipment that are known and popular (as in Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc) that you can pick up at the local retail store are junk in comparison to the good stuff. I found my audio shop when I walked in and talked to the "salesman" for over 2 hours about stuff and not once did he try to sell me something. Nor did he try to sell me something on the 4 or 5 subsequent visits to the shop. When I was ready to buy something and thought I knew what I wanted, he pulled down the equipment that was half the cost and half the power (of the amps) than I wanted to buy. He said, here, this is what you want, not that over there. And I was thrilled that I went with his selection because it wasn't built as a loud system, but was built with the maximum clarity and distortion free sound I could get with what I wanted to spend (and even less than I wanted to spend).

Good comment!!

Quote from sgt.flippy :

I think it's a theme... look at the "start" button. And it kinda looks familiar to me, I think I used to have the same

Any idea what the theme is called??

Recently, over the past few days, i have been getting a really poor connection for some reason, it used to be ok on the current patch (U) but i will ahve to test it again later...

Well done, i think it's the first Veyron skin ever made??

Quote from Stellios :

Hardly exciting, but mine.

What OS are you using? or is it just a lovely looking theme?

Quote from Michel 4AGE :

You could try to mix setups, like using spring settings from set "A" and gearbox setting from set "B" and see what you prefer. Or just stick with 1 set, drive as much as possible with it untill you think you're not improving anymore, and then start to change little things, if it doesn't get better, make sure you remember the old settings though
Also, there are some good setup tutorials around. And most of the basic car handling tutorials might help you too, it's no rocket science, it just takes a bit practice

That's what i do... I always hope that i can make it better and one day i can be asked for a setup that i can take credit for!!

My friend is going WC, he did the Shell garage competition and used a German No. 7 lol... Let's hope England do well, with or without Rooney!!

Hahaha, good one!!

Quote from danowat :

Its something you can do with LFSTweak, so its not difficult, how difficult it would be to implement in LFS "for real" who knows, but it would be a blast to drive, and something no other PC race sim has......

Dan,

I was actually thinking that too but i know the sound of a diesel is not appealing to most people but it would be nice to have it realistic... Is there any way to change the sound for those people who want to backup the original sound for future reverts??

I like this idea!

Quote from danowat :

It would be nice to race against the XFG and XRG with a diesel engined XFG, something like the engine from a Skoda Fabia vRS.

Dan,

That would be great... would it be hard to do?
