Yeah I hate this too, I usually turn vitural dials on as well when in the FZ5

What the FZ needs is a Monster Tacho, with big numbers and takes half the view up

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

lol. i thought it was the ricer spoiler look-a-like on the back of the red XRG. which i now can see is a tribune.

I never noticed that

Stealing my ideas :-O

I joke I joke

Looks good, glad to be able to help out on MSN. Just one thing I would say and thats make the stitches a bit more together, that would snap of again in no time really.

Quote from theirishnoob :

so its just stock blue and black ? try making the hood and side bumpers cf and then do a quick paint job

The hood being CF is a bad idea I found, the weave doesnt line up, and its a b***h to sort out

Quote from Blackout :

Something like ribbons would go with that quite well.
The text could be even larger I think.

Ribbons care to show an example please?

I've added a fuel cap (since it doesnt have one) and tried to fit a racing number somewhere, preview in a sec

Quote from wheeler :

reminds me of an old idea: a licenseplate holder. See attachment for artist impression

I'd buy a couple of those

Quote from tristancliffe :

Ah, the number of spokes

Ding ding! We have a winnar!

/me gives Tristan invisible cookie

Quote from tristancliffe :

Tyre brand/logos?

Almost, your circling the answer so to speak

Quote from Smurfen :

u looove scawen! [etals:] so busted

Taavi and Scawen sittin' in a tree...

Heres an edited pic first one to spot the difference (besides colour and plates) wins an invisible cookie

Quote from Blackout :

So you ran out of ideas before you really got going, that's bad.

Well, that UF GTR text looks kinda neat. You could try making that huge and but it on the side in a small angle.

Hmm

Well I tried what you said about the text on the side, and I tried not to overlap the wide arches or cut anything off, and I quite like it

It looks kinda lonely on its own, might try a number on the door in the same style See, one idea sparks a thousand, thats exactly what I wanted!

Quote from KeiichiRX7 :

I have a proposal or two on this.

1) Bring it back as a homolugation version of the FXR, it's street legal cousin. Throw it with appropriate figures into the LRF class. HP would be lower than the FXR by a great deal but still conciderably faster than the TBO's. Non adjustable wings. Not much lighter than the standard FXO

LRF needs a 4WD, and it could be a decent rally car once you put knobblys

In a drag race with 5% fuel and the hard track set up, I used AI to drag race the TBO's. XRT and FXO came joint first (XRT had a better start and FXO catched up) and the RB4 was left for dust.

Unless your talking about lap times, then the FXO is the fastest. Although Patch X is gonna even the class more.

Lovely tree

Dunno about those lights too, might be too dark to see.

Quote from Zonda :

OK

What do you think about this car ?

Hehe :P

Challenger for the BF1 methinks

Right, today Niko made a cool vid of us and this drift dude do some UFR crashes on drag strip. I watched it, then realised I've never skinned the UFR for myself (actualy I've only ever skinned it once and that was that MINI~UK request :tilt.

So, using the paint scheme I've been using default, I'm gonna make a racey skin over it, but still keeping that colour scheme.

Its just now, I'm stumped for ideas, I'll proabably make some decals to go on it, but I want a catchey design

Anyway, I attached what we have to work with Throw some ideas at me!

EDIT: Okay, added silver/grey sills and underbumper bits, and a tidy boot badge

Quote from NitroNitrous :

You can make an idea with this screen

And these

I liked it too, although you could say, it grew up to be our FXR

Win.

Technically, on demo, all skins are private since all you see are white XRT's all the time.


Its not hard to make a NFS: PS style skin, only hard bit is the scratches.

Design is very good. But maybe use a richer blue and orange? Those ones make the skin look low res

EDIT: nevermind about the low res comment, its the way you saved the image I still think you should darken the colours though

Quote from cbalbinot :

+1 !!

Just add another tinny space on the usual car skin file, with the background of the gauges !

Theres easily enough space in the interior .dds too.

+1

Also we need to be able to change the colour of the dial face too. White dials in an XFG, boy racer heaven

The next Top Gear challenge involved turning a normal car into a race car, naturally each car would be tested by The Stig.

Screw a mountain, we need a classic Essex B road, with twistys and bridge jumps, then a Escort XR3i look-alike to thrash round it

+1, some of us can handle our cars having the odd dent, if it meant shorter stops.

Quote from Electricwolf :

Ok i fix it, thanks kirmy.


The Problem on the Fz50/FZR Rear lights is that, that the reverse light and the brake light are the same texture. So the mapping is fu*****

Just desaturate whats there, LFS colours whats needed red anyway

At least thats what I learned when making my LED lights.
