Sorry you guys haven't heard from me in a while, internet .. is just horrible where I live, between two routers constantly fighting each other and I have to reset my wifi card every 5 minutes to be able to refresh my school email and facebook.

Anyways, I've redone the GTRs with just the Vray light (like the FBM), however the transition on the sides from the top aren't the greatest and I'll need to manually fix them, so.. if I have the time I'll work on them and have them up by this weekend.

Sorry again for taking so long, internet is just sucking it up.

Severe bump

Maybe this will fit in as the "real life edition" LX8

Use the search!!

it's true, this has come up before.

I see the IS section like this; great minds may think alike, but one mind alone never did nearly as much as two, or more.
One person's idea may no make it into LFS (or it may), but the topic at hand points out the validity of a suggestion; to see if it's really worth it or not.
As it goes, one thought comes from another, thus I say the IS section, while may not be looked at my, gives us something to think about, and something the devs to look at when they're bored.

Nice guide!

I have a 360 elite, which comes with a wireless controller.

Is there anyway i can use that on my pc? I use a G25 but im just curious how a LFS would feel on controller. To connect it, would i need to use the charger and then plug into a USB port?

No, the charger doesn't have any input functions, it's just allows an AC current.
You need to buy the dongle, it's cheap, $20 I believe I got mine for at Walmart.

As for the scheme, that wouldn't work out good if you plan on racing with a manual gearbox, thus I have mine set (well besides completely different), but A as shift down, and B as shift up
I guess it depends on how you hold it, apparently some people hold it with two fingers on the top, it gets to cramped up there for me so I can't do that.. but whatever floats your boat, I need to check out that XBCD thing though.

The locks on the sides were messed up because they're square polys with alpha layers, but I could never find them on the actual model, so.. If you want to remove them you can, but here is the GI layer.

Some parts didn't come out the smoothest, the only error I really found was just aft of the huge inlets on the sides.

Sorry, yea I got the .3ds for the FBM yesterday (fortunately), I just have to fix the UV mapping and render it out, sorry my internet the past week has just been unbearably slow, I haven't been able to even check my emails.

I can't stand tilted images, I can't edit them for crap, I don't know why, but it just makes it a billion times harder and a hundred times not worth it.

When I'm taking a picture the only time I tilt my camera is when I'm filling up the frame, otherwise tilting is.. useless

"It's done when it's done."

I dunno about everyone elsebut the reason I haven't been on to often is because midterms are coming up next week, and myinternet has been sucking it up in the dorms and have to write this to you via my iPod.

Quote from Renku :

I jumped that high .

The focal length (35mm film equivalent) is around the 1200mm region.

Edit:If anyone's interested: f/4.5, 1/400 sec, ISO 100

I'm more or less curious what 800mm lens you have

btw added something to my camera collection; a vacuum suction cup mount, so I can take pictures without hanging helplessly out of a car

It isn't at all, it's more like a second man that is weightless in your car changing the gears for you because for some reason you can't...

Well, with a name with the word "sample" in it, I was personally expecting.. a sample of a BOV you'd like turned into the game

look around, there are some here and there.

Love the song (what is it by the way??)

I really loved the third to last camera angle, the flyover of Aston down the GP turn, looked awesome

I have to agree about that RAC crash though especially when it turned into a helicopter :S
A few to many crash scenes too, I think just a few of the GTRs would have done, and I really wish the first crash with the BF1s with the wing, if the wing busted off would look awesome.. can't wait for stuff like that to happen

Excellent work Lynce

I can't imagine that has to many layers, it just looks like a lot of histogram edits.

You messed up on your front right wheel cover though with the carbon fiber.

Would take 2 hours for me to download it so I'm just gonna wait till its up on youtube

Quote from JJ72 :

and unfairly put aside by mainstream gamers who prefers PGR and Forza. I have only try it several times and it is a greatt driving game.

Aww don't be hatin on Forza, Forza 2 is a pretty good simulator, it's the best racing game i've played on ANY console hands down, I haven't tried enthusia though, maybe I should get it, can probably get it cheap nowadays can't ya

I mean I remember reading something at engadget the other day that Microsoft released the entire iso file on the internet (on accident?) but I didn't think it was real etc.

Guess I have to wait for SP1 rather than SP1 beta

Can't torrent anything at my uni anymore.

Where can I even get it?
Searched google and found nothing except for that it will be released in March.

Fixed, those pictures are freaking huge and my internet isn't that fast down here... I couldn't even fix them until it was done loading them!

Went out last night to grab some pictures of my friend's RX7
here is his thread, has some other pictures in it than I posted:
http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=730972

Last picture I did, we plan on getting a better one, the ones I took like that were my first attempt at pictures like that so I wasn't really prepared, nor really had an clue how to do it so we just.. made attempts, and that was the best one that came out.

Good point...
I kept seeing that and didn't even notice the black 911 or whatever (still don't know what it is lol I keep staring down the 908 instead) revving in the background.

Rice [burner] originated from WWII when the US had an oil embargo set on Japan, leaving them with no oil for their planes and whatever else they needed oil for, thus they extracted the oil from rice, which, despite the fact it isn't as clean as fossil fuel oil or otherwise, atleast worked.

And somehow it came from something genious, to some tard kid that thought it was funny to call a Japanese four banger a ricer when it had some "modifications"

... I hate these types of conversations, everyone has a different belief as to what "rice" looks like, so.. let the flame wars begin before I have to lock this thread up.

I LOVE this commercial!
I pause my music every single time I hear it on my roomies' tv just to hear it, I get the chills every time I watch it it's just amazingness at climax.

Haha yep, it gave me the chills once again
