Quote from rascar13 :

seriously, they should hire you to make the texture improvements for every car

I found dirt pretty much the same in terms of graphics and handling. It's too bad.. they could've listened and improved when they made Dirt..

However, i believed it was this vid where they said the new F1 game is going to be Sim.. let's hope so.

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

Didn't like it.

+1, the physics really suck very badly.

Me wants.
Very nice, good luck building the lot. (if you haven't already).

Thanks.

Nice! I really liked it. Except for the part at about 1:13 where it looks a little laggy. Maybe it's just the slowmotion, if so.. i found it a little too slow.
Makes me want to try making movies..

Sorry for going offtopic, but those fern bay textures (road, kerbs in general), are those a pack of some kind? I've been looking for them for ages but haven't found any. Can you share them?

Quote from DaveWS :

The new Renault looks disgusting, especially the new front nose section. I hope the shark fins are banned, I'm suprised they are still allowed, given how much they ruin the look of the car.

The new Williams looks fantastic though.

Like they're gonna ban the shark fins for only looking bad. For me it's still all about the racing..
However, it seems as if the racing itself is also getting ruined now, as time passes..

Here's mine, in my really small room.

Quote from PioneerLv :

But after installing this new tyre skid texture something wrong goes with racing lines on corners:
Wtf is this shit?

Quote from AndroidXP :

Looks nice, but the drawback is that the rubber racing line will have those tread lines, too. Both the racing line and the skid marks share the same texture unfortunately.

Is it that hard to read?

I actually like the clean, lean look of it.. back to basic. Specially with the Slicks (FTW!!)
Can't wait for the season to begin.

Quote from Sponge :

Impressive! Are all the buttons functioning or just aesthetic?

I believe they're going to be functional, as seen on this picture where there are already tags next to the buttons.

The guy that makes them, does sell them... *sigh*

Them means he makes multiple doesn't it? I thought you ment that he is already selling them. Make yourself more clear next time, ''sherlock''
Anyway, then he should suggest it to the guy who made it.

Source? Have you got anything to prove that?

Quote from oldnavy :

Man you're good.Make more and sell them

I'm amazed that it took such a short time to make it. Great job.

Quote from tim_j_23 :

that's totally awesome!!!

+1.

Now we need to see a video of it working @ LFS. But i bet there's still a ton of things to do untill it's that time?

I haven't got any unlocks at the time, but i'll check it out with the original LFS on friday.

Thanks again for the photoshoot. I'll ad a link in my sig when i've got something to fill the forum space with.

Quote from Timdpr :

MODS = GODS

May as well post again that I'm not getting any problems on my incredibly low-spec 15fps average laptop...

Which one are you talking about? both the ''bugs''?

have you tried black rims on the XRT?
I'll install a official Z to see if it also happens with the the rims.
I think the holes in the tires are perm.

Yes, but it doesn't make a difference.

Quote from bunder9999 :

that's actually kinda dumb... i mean, if the game is being played by the public, it's hardly an alpha, nor a beta... you can consider it a beta if you go by google's definition, but they got it wrong too...

lfs needs a rename.

edit: for the record, i saw what scawen said we'd need to bring s2 out of alpha, and from the list he posted, we're only half way there.

Must've read over that renaming part then, my bad.
However, my opinion is that i can still be alpha, even if it's played by the public.
Well, let's not start this discussion, i'll probaly end up being wrong after all.

Anyway, ontopic..

I can confirm that it's actually quite similar.
I've got the G25 steering wheel, and i'm using the turning degrees matched to the cars in LFS.
I was excited when my dad finally made me drive his Focus once, i was 14 at the time.

The main thing i noticed was the fact that you actually feel the car, body roll etcetera. Which, in my opinion makes it easier to drive. The pedals are stiffer then the ones from the G25, and the gear change really needs alot more smoothing. That was really the only thing that took most of my attention. That's the only thing that is much different from LFS. All of the other things went pretty much automatically. I found the forces from the steering wheel in the Focus similar to the road cars in LFS, and not at all more powerful. In my opinion, driving a car on the road or something like that, isn't much different at all.
Ofcourse, racing is so much different.. i can except the forces from the steering wheel to be much stronger, such as G forces etcetera.

I do kart sometimes however. And i've gone karting once before i started playing LFS. I finished last, and i had pretty bad time.
I went to that same track a few years later, supplied with the experience from LFS, and i actually made it to the top-10 of the day. That has got to do something with LFS. Right?

Hello,

I have found a little thing at the wheels of the XRT.
There seem to be a few white edges at the spokes from the XRT from some angles. It could however be caused by the reflection mod i've got on it..
This can be seen from a long distance. Even though it might look like a really tiny thing nobody can't see, it can be seen..





And there are some see-trough holes in the tyres of the UF1, and that same problem seems to be at other cars too.

Rfactor does really look bad. Most of the tracks in Rfactor are just plain flat, and they just don't look good somehow.
And it doesn't even feel like you're driving a car. It feels like you're turning around 1 point.
Not much good can be said about the FFB either. I've tried multiple settings for my G25, but they just didn't feel right.
The variety of Rfactor brings too much problems, as the mod makers just don't take any time to make something good. Specially in terms of tracks. Yes, some mods may be good, but most of them are plain bad.

And LFS is still only in Alpha(!) There's still so much that can still be improved and implented. Even if it does take a long while, there will eventually be perfection (hopefully)

Yes, LFS is my choice.
