Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :yeah i have Antivir on my PC laptop as well. it works pretty well, updates itself everyday, deteched a few viruses and blocked them out. not bad considering its free.
although it has an advertising window pop-up once a day. but it only takes a mouse click/enter to get rid of it. so im pretty happy with it.

A new virus every day? Unlikely. I would say that's the program showing it so it can show you that pop up so one day someone will be dumb enough to buy it.

Get Firefox if you don't have it
(and if you don't like the way it looks you can make it look exactly like IE)

Quote from bunder9999 :not sure if that will work, as LFS downloads the skins for you when you load the replay.

I figured that case may prevent it from happening, but since it happens when someone leaves the pit area with a car that no one else has on track... who knows, by some shot in the dark that may be able to repeat itself...

worth the shot at least

Quote from SidiousX :Keyword(PADDLE) It is NOT an effort to hit let off the gas, hold paddle, shift, let go of paddle. Even if they choose to use a button, most buttons on wheels are within thumbs reach, if not, bind it to a button that is...

And for everyone that uses the paddles like real cars...?

I have to reach from where I'm holding the wheel, and holding it to shift... no, not going to happen 40x around a track.

Button clutch shifting is going the wrong way, this is to make racing in LFS more realistic and fair, not.. painful and confusing for everyone else.

Search next time please, but really, this is not the direction the devs are going, so don't ever expect it.

Quote from HalleMarques :And the headshot was more like physics, rather than motorsport itself.

Hah! More like Murphys law than anything else.

Whats the update on Massa, when will he be back in the car again, any information about something like that yet?

(can't imagine his wife is to happy about this one since they're supposed to have children in a few months, I bet she went hysterical when this happened! Feel terrible for her)

Quote from mrodgers :I have an 8 and a 5 year old, and every day I hear the same bickering, only on a different subject. It's just kids being kids.

OT
Slap them across the face and tell them to grow up and get a S2 license already!

.. well .. it usually works here at least

maybe, but doing so would be so unnatural and weird, I'm pretty sure the devs wouldn't do anything like that.

If I get forced to reach and hold a button on my steering wheel while trying to drive, and then press another button to shift, then let go off both buttons, I will never get online again.

Honestly the demo users have been treated quite well, and it's been getting better and better.

But every now and then you just get demo users that.. want to much without giving any support of any kind, whether that be just buying a license, or even helping out the community with something in general.

Just be polite and kind and everyone else here will too. Over the years though a stereotype has come to be that demo users enjoy taking and never giving back, also many have been rude etc.

Well for starters, you have half the car on those wing things in the background, second of all, the logo is TINY!

IMO you will be WAY better off getting out of photoshop and doing this in Illustrator, if you don't have illustrator then check out inkscape, it can do just about all the same stuff and it's free.

This way you have full control over the curves, the layers, etc. etc.

Plus you save it as vector curves so it isn't that big of a file when it's full size.

Good luck!

(at first it may be hard, but in the end it will totally be worth learning!)

Which is why I don't use any antivirus, and when I stopped using it.. I've had less problems.

I got more viruses when I had it (because i acted like an idiot and figured antivirus would help it.. when 90% of the time you get lucky it does solve the problem..), if you don't have it.. you think more and are safer and don't have to deal with it.

Plus.. half the time those things are wrong anyway.

Spybot S&D ftw.

I've had a few viruses here and there since then (I stopped using antivirus 4 months after owning this laptop, and used norton for like 1 year on my desktop back in the day) but every problems I have had I just do my research and fix the problem myself.. it really isn't that hard.

Besides some not so good driving in some sections, overall its super nice!

Colors.. to to much yellow, adds a nice effect but slightly overdone.

Drifting circles... :/

Overall the track views were vvvveerrry nice, I love those shots anyone can do they're just so cool

Besides a few things here and there, it was very nice, good work!

Quote from Drift King CZ :This is a bug? I thought it's the same as with skins. LFS won't load the textures because of not bothering your computer while racing. If you jump to the garage'n'out or just reset your car, the textures will load, at least this works for me.

If something doesn't appear the first time around, yes it's a bug.

Just because you can solve it doesn't mean its not an issue, if you can solve something, then there is a problem at hand.

Next time this happens someone try and save a replay, and see if anyone can get it to recreate itself, that's the problem with this bug I don't think it is easy to recreate

Quote from DEVIL 007 :jesues...she say there is nothing in side her anymore......how this is possible.....

Because it isn't the truth..

This isn't going to be easy for either of you, but you just have to promise to just give it some time.. things will begin to unfold, it'll be okay, i promise.

Listen devil, you love her, she loves you, there is nothing bad going on, talk to her, it just sounds like the whole marriage thing freaks her out (it does for everyone when you really think about it!)

Talk to her.. please, that's all I ask.

Devil, take it easy, it will be okay and make sense one day.

Don't go out on a whim and do something you will regret later in your life, it isn't worth it.

Take a deep breath, take another (don't forget to exhale!)

Just slow down.. you're going to be just fine

Find something to do to get your mind off the subject, mow your lawn, take a walk.. just plleeeaese don't do anything stupid!
Make music! Heck, I still listen to that song you made and Orion put on his website, you can do that? Let your emotions control something, just let it out, don't hold it in.

Just slow it down a second, you're thinking to much!

I don't know about you but I believe that things happen for a reason, this may be rough right now but like I said, it will all make sense one day, it's preparing you for something.

Quote from Paddy291090 :Hey

After I saw the screenshots of the track, i already knew that it is a very nice layout. After testing it I just can say "I love it, I love it, ..."

Nice work

Please log in with your S2 account.

@bass, looks like a nice setup!

Yea if it comes out to the same price I may start seriously considering buying a G25 or that.

It just bothers me only having two buttons on the wheel on G25, I use all 6 of the buttons on the face of my momo while driving so...

I would just not prefer to put my hand over on the shifter to hit a button (hopefully the right one!) to look back

Quote from sgt.flippy :Make sure the strips don't have guiding holes before you take the strips off

Nope, they don't it's just stuck on with that 3M automotive molding tape (same stuff i have on my eyelids, that stuff is CRAZY strong!)

Biggest problem i've seen is one person on the MZ3 forum took his side moldings off and there was about a half inch spot where the car was bare metal, no paint at all!

After seeing that, I might paint my wheels black now...


@mrodgers lol yep! maybe I'll have to go in there and drill some holes around the car with photoshop .. make it more 'realistic' haha, but yea there's nothing there.

Unfortunately I wanted to debadge my rear completely, but the big flying M and mazda have holes in them and I don't want to get those filled in and have to repaint the whole back end.. I guess I can do that when I decide to repaint the whole car to factory spec when I get the body styling parts I want on it (GV lip, GV grill, and Speed3 spoiler)

I plan on doing it with mental ray or raytrace, something everyone has to control.

Plus you have to be members of quiet and excellent 3D forums to get good tutorials like I'm hoping this will be, there are very limited car render scene tutorials around (less than 10 public ones)

It is for beginners, hopefully some will stop using the basic scene lighting and learn the program more and do some cool things instead of just pressing F9 (render button)

edit- better yet i will have to get together with someone to do an actual rendering tutorial which should be done too, but as the title of the thread is, it's a study.. more to come soon this weekend though.

Who cares if a street car has them, they're awesome!

I installed Kigety's Momo LED application and I have used it since then, have left side light up at -1000 RPM from redline, -500 RPM from redline, and then both flash when I hit the LFS 'shift light', it's SOOOooo much fun!
