GT:HD is a beautiful looking game

switch the resolution inside the game to another one, and switch it again to the resolution you want.

always does the trick for me

we do?
i'm assuming we already got one by the end of the qualy, right?

i have more faith in the Iracing engine (the makers of GP legends, ex-papirus)

The sim is in development
http://www.iracing.com/

something good has to come out from the ex-papirus team

well, for starters, can i enter the league and then give an opinion?

oh ok! do you have a date and time for that xmas event? random track too?

XRT it is!

so, the next event for the stcc n00bs is BL1 rev , right?

Quote from Bean0 :

Welcome to the STCC

You will need to make a skin for the series with the STCC numberplates on the doors and bonnet (hood). This can either be a complete new skin or an existing team skin with the plates added.

You will have to be given a number by Becky first of course.

thanks
i'll wait to see what car i get to drive first before i make the skin

ah? if i could only reach your level green, it would be a very happy day.

...Busta and Yahh did kick serious butt in the qualy though.


now that you mention it... whats the deal with the skins? we are given one or something? or we have to make a brand new "team" skin for the series?

i cant believe it ! thanks!

its still an alpha

but yeah, its known to cause accidents when we cant pit to clear the track after an accident

the big change for me was the speed reading. When the car jumps a bit or the wheels spin, the announced Km/h goes up a lot.

i was used to figure out how well im positioned in the curve by using the speed reading and the angle and "squid" sounds.... you know, things that help replace the real life feeling of the car.
But now, in most curves the wheel spin and the reading goes up lolll

its not a physic change but it affects my driving, maybe its whats going on with you guys too

now this was a good rainy sunday afternoon
And theres always a good laugh at the accidents lol cant help it... i find my accidents are funny but thats until i see other ppl crashing, its even funnier


Becky,
This has been pointed out already, but its an important thing to the broadcast!
you guys have to work out those codecs and capture settings.
The RAW footage is being captured with too much Mip mapping detail/LOD, its sharpened too much and when you compress it (no matter how good the codec is) it gets really really jagged. No in-game FSAA can save this from happening.
please give it a try to change mip mapping settings in the drivers control panel to really soften the image.
Drop LOD in LFS too.

The framerate misses alot also. But this is probably due to the machine. But it hurts the broadcast STCC experience.

The illegal DIVX movies everybody knows were to download have 700MB for ~90minutes runtime, and they look gooood so its possible in STCC too.

good luck and keep them coming

Yes it was the april update....

many fingers died getting that patch, see my avatar!

i'm telling you guys. Its Ecclestone fault the system keeps crashing

where is the server? its 6pm now!

is the track really random?

i usually practice for a few hundred Km at any given combo... i'm screwd ain't I? lol

hey thanks

i hope no one left the list because of me

ah well, my name isn't on the list.
I guess i'll try next time

i can give a shot at this event. if there are slots open

man, last time i raced the GTR class in as nat, half a year ago, 1.45 was a GOOD time....

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Often requested, heavily discussed, and there is a proof of concept and a few "buggy" versions some guys have hacked together available here:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12319

Obviously it doesn't contain all of the features you want, but it's a start.

wow, dont mind what i said... those guys are already begining with it!

naturaly some league would stand out. The one with better racing, most competitive, with better broadcast directing. Those are the areas leagues should compete with each other.
But right now this is thinking way ahead of our selfs

First we need a basic real-time broadcasting concept that should be a given right to any league. i think.

perhaps by S3 final, if ever... who knows!

That TV-pc card is a good ideia, but we are limited both in quality and the default lfs tv cameras, and they suck a bit lol... but very good to have it considering the alternative (*.mpr and compiled movies)
Perhaps in the future there could be a way to split broadcasts, one video stream for winamp to those who dont own lfs, and packet broadcast to run in-engine to those who own the game, all with the same real-time directing

thanks for the replies

Quote from russraine :

We at OLFSL will be having two live streams every race weekend next season. However we will be using tv capture cards rather than a mod that enables output ingame, but it works quite well without any of the programming bother!

thats what im talking about baby!

Quote from Becky Rose :

From my point of view this would actually devalue the STCC quite considerably. If every league broadcasted a show using a quick and easy to put together broadcast software feature it would undermine the effort that is put in to make the STCC what it is.

Having lots of sim leagues broadcasted in this manner would saturate a market before it is ready to become saturated. Viewers havn't got behind sim racing because there hasn't been an STCC before, and currently there still isn't much of a market for it.

Our first broadcast had something in the region of 5000 viewers, although I dont have precise figures. That is a TINY marketplace for an international race series. Your dream of sponsors in sim racing cant come alive with figures like that, it needs a few hundred thousand at least.

If it is "easy" to put together a broadcast, then the quality will not be high. It would then be much harder for viewers to find something like the STCC which is created the hard way.

i agree with your (the maker of that kind of video) prespective.
Its also a monopolistic side of view you have there. If "whatever" is a foward step for the fans and spectators results in "damaging" your current position as the leader in what you do and whats possible to do as of now, then you, as the "greater force" would never allow for really good things to appear. (thinks oil)

not much to talk about, really. Lets keep this ideia under the prespective of the racing fan and league quality and massification and not the prespective of work being put in what the league is doing now due to the "lack of" better.
Of course is hard work being put in there, but its only due to the lack of a proper mean of broadcasting. Either way, awsome vids you guys have made. just no the issue here.
F1 is nothing without viewers. Thats what stcc wants too for sure, the best for the viewers (and that is the realtime viewing of the action, not delayed, yuck, viewing f1 after knowing who won the championship... nuh uh!)
