Some little scipt kitty with nothin to do. Likes to waste everyones time and screw with people because they have an empty life and everyone thinks he or she is a loser!!

Quote from PioneerLv :

Woh!

That means i need to use SRGB color profile on all my system?

Sorry guys for questions, but it is hard to understand in first time.

Yes.
It is the standard of the web and almost everything else. Unless you are a profesional Photographer or Graphics designer, don't let anyone talk you into getting colour profile software or or hardware. It is not needed for great results.

Quote from spankmeyer :

Ah, the glory days of trippin' on LSD and postin' misinformation on teh interwebz.

misinformation? How?

PS: I know all about colour profiling my monitor and all the bullshi% that goes with it. I have tried colour both ways. The easy way and the hard way, unless you are a pro selling huge commercial prints, SRGB is all anyone needs. The only people that could tell the difference are pixel detectives that troll photo forums looking for mistakes.
I challenge you to post a duplicate picture...one with SRGB and one with Adobe98 and see if anyone can tell the difference.

I like this one.
Don't know how big the Peanuts are on the other side of the pond. But over here they are a staple of the holidays.

Bummer!! Logitech DFP GT is cheap and an excellent wheel if you come by $100 at Christmas.

Thanks Toddshooter, you are my hope.


Colour settings in Photoshop:




How to synchronize Monitor, Photoshop, Printer colour profiles? They all should be the same - sRGB?

Yes!! They should all be the same. This is the standard colour space for the web as well. So if you order prints from an online dealer like Walmart or some other this is the colour space they will use.

You should be able to go into your Monitor settings and select SRGB. If your monitor doesn't have the SRGB profile already you will be able to download it off the web easy enough.
Then go into your Graphics card colour settings and change it to SRGB as well.
And finally change photoshop to SRGB as well.

You will find that everything looks dark and dull to begin with. This is normal!! Most monitors come from the factory over saturated and overly bright so when you colour balance them they look shi%. Don't worry you will get used to it.

edit: PS Try to post jpegs instead of png as attachments. png's are horribly big and clumsy.:-)

Use "S RGB" on all your hardware and software.
I am a photographer and I can't see any difference between S RGB and Adobe98 colour spaces.

Quote from mrodgers :

Love this one, even with the blur on the bike/rider. That's what makes the photo.


This one is very bad for a panning shot. None of the background is showing any motion blur at all!


Come on folks, this thread is the last remaining string that keeps me tied to LFS. I don't race, I don't smoke pot anymore so I can't use that thread. The camera thread is the only one keeping me coming to the LFS forum, hehe.

Why don't you race anymore?

We have our crack news staff fixing the problem as we speak
Thanks for the heads up last night MistaTea.

And a lovely Christmas to whoever threw the wrench into the works

Quote from MijnWraak :

First off, you can get 100 fps in lfs for much less than $300. Now, this may be bottlenecked by your CPU at a certain fps, though.

305 watts cant handle a graphics card, so you oughta upgrade that first.

What are you talking about? I have a Dell 4600 with a 200watt and something power supply and it runs my:

-1gig of ram
-2 hard drives (internal)
-1 usb hard drive (external)
-and a 256 ati agp graphics card just fine.

Also something to think of is lots of older Dell comp. will not except a regular ATX power supply. You need special connctors and stuff. These Dell power supplies cost more as well.

Congrats Guys

Always fun to race against you all.

Nice HDR Sam!

Thank God you didn't make it look like a cartoon like most people.

Here's a few from a couple of years ago with my old Nikon D70.<<<Still love this camera.

This has happened to every guy at one point or another

Quote from kaynd :

Have a look here and here.
My posts are only referring to the tire load sensitivity model.
You can find more opinions on that, just by serching the words "tire model" or "tire load sensitivity".

There is also a problem about the effective slip ratio where the tires generate sufficient grip. We have still perfect starts while full spinning the first gear. There is no reason to limit the tire’s excessive spin in order to get a good start.
This does not mean the slip ratio - grip model is all wrong, Still a locked tire generates significantly less grip. But it need’s to be way more refined.

Also I don't see why drifters can't drift with normal sets... even hard track setups can drift ok just by having a bit higher locking factor at the diffs.

Thanks swishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh<<<<<Thats what you guys are talking about going right over my head
I'll just enjoy the game and drive what is given to me.

issues masked by limited setups now than wait another year or two (optimistic guess) for the tyres to be finally fixed.

I'm curious what is wrong with the tires?
I keep seeing this brought up but never explained. I see a glaring problem with the collision detection but the tires feel fine.
If someone could explain I would appreciate it.

If there is alot of snow in your shot you will need to "Add exposure comp" Or your snow will be grey.

Here are a few more from me. Keep the shots coming guys they are really good!!

Thanks M8

Most excellent as always!

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Great idea, but what if "veterans" join in? It would ruin the whole experience.

Quit complaining and practise!!!!!!!

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

Looks like i am relagated to the bench now. Another good experienced driver amongst the ranks here now

See you soon on the team track Javi

Hehehehehe

You could always come over to RSR and be the "Superstar" of the team:headbang::headbang:

Thanks for the compliments!

We are quickly finding out that you need to "Spec and Admin" quite a bit to have a clean server though.
Hopefully people will get the idea that we don't want crashers, until then Niels has volunteered to Admin 24/7

See ya on track.

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

Well i agree with practically all of what's been said here (especially the first post) & i didn't properly read the whole thread, but anyway... i have a question...

How realistic is it of us to expect such environmental changes that's been mentioned? I mean surely these things can't have been overlooked in the quest of making the most realistic racing sim, so why have they been [seemingly] overlooked by all sim developers? Will we ever see such detail i wonder...?

I imagine they haven't been implimented because it would be a monumental task to code. Shifting weather patterns and track temp changes seem to me to be a very complicated thing. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Quote from Kalev EST :

Not meaning to be a spoilsport but you guys do know that the modern WRC cars are faster than Group B cars on any road that has a few bends on it?

I think its mostly a nostalgia thing.
