Since nobody has yet posted a thread on this (I think no-one has) then I shall proceed. Many people find that they come in too fast thus slaming on the brakes and hoping they will be ok.

The dangers of entering the pits too fast;

-You enter the pits at 150kph, the pit speed limit is only 80kph. You slam on the brake as soon as a Drive-Through Penalty message pops up and either; 1)Come to a halt. 2)Slow down to a crawling speed. 3)Loose control under heavy braking.
-It is a 20 lap race and you pit when you see everyone else pit. You come in too fast and hit someone who is pitting in the first yellow marker, they are pushed forward and hit someone else, ETC. You are voted, and banned.
-Your car is severely damaged and you need to pit. You start to sverve across the track, causing a collision.

There are many more things that can occur while trying to enter the pits. And here are some tips on how to avoid collisions, enter the pits properly, and stopping in the yellow markers.

-You need to enter the pits. Note to yourself earlier in the race where exactly the pit enterance is, so that you know when to start to slow down. Upon the need to pit; approach the pit enterance, if you need to turn left/right and there are cars along side you then cautiously slow down making sure you are clear of the other cars and use the appropriate indicator (if you car has one) - 7=Left Ind. 8=Right Ind. 9=Hazards. 0=No Ind. - to warn others further behind of your actions. If there is no-one directly behind you, make the move into the "PITS" markings (normally two yellow lines) and start to slow down to 100kph, at this point press the Limiter key "L" and apply brakes until you reach 70-75kph. Once acheived that speed you may apply full accelaration. When you have entered the pits do not turn into the first yellow box. Move further down and use the "V" button to switch to the no-dash view. Stop the car when your wheels are centered and are about half a metre away from the front part of the yellow box. The pitting will begin. Once complete use your mirrors to see if there is anyone else using the pit lane, and manouvre out appropriatly*.
-Your car is severely damaged and you need to enter the pits. Drive at a reasonable speed of around 100-120kph and stay on the outside of the racing line. If possible have your Hazzard lights on - Press "9" - to warn other players. Follow previous procedure for entering Pits.
*- For exiting the Pits please read the following:

Quote :

4. Exiting pits: When exiting pits make sure that it is clear before you enter onto the racing line. Use of the track map and the look left & right keys/buttons is recommended. If cars are approaching, do NOT leave the pit lane, Drivers found doing this will receive a warning.
NEW as of 21/09/05!!! Please do NOT cross the pit exit line when leaving the pits unless there is an obstruction that makes it impossible not to do so. Make this a habit at all times because during most if not all CRC Sanctioned Events, a penalty will be issued without warning for putting ANY part of your car over the pit exit line.

Some important notices:
Drive-Throught Penalty-After you exit the pits you are required to do a lap in which you have to enter the pits and drive throught at the limit (80kph)
30/45 Second Time Penalty- Means that that amount of time will be added ontop your final time, thus if you finish 1st and get **:21.56 and #2 gets **:22.10, they will be ranked at #1 (I think)

This is a basic guide to exiting the pits and is not official. There is nothing complicated about doing so, apart from basic logic. If you want to post any rants, comments, errors, death-threats, compliments - they are accepted by me, and will be appriciated.

Everything is a pain when it comes to getting a skin to look right. But hey, the end result, when someone comes to a server and they say "Hey Black Wolf! I love your XRR/FZR skin! Great work" thats when you know you did a good job. So enjoy.


EDIT - I have started work on FXR skin with Greboth. Should be done soon, and hoping to be best skin yet.

Wow, really great work you guys. I would love if it these two skins were also magically rendered. Can I ask that the two cars are somehow put together in one single render? and then seperate renders for each car? THANKS

I would agree, as LFS World says, and I quote:

Quote :

Rules and regulations:DO NOT upload skins which contain offensive images!
If a skin that contains nudity, pornographic, racist or any other extremely offensive content is uploaded, the skin(s) will be removed without notice and you will no longer be allowed to upload skins here.

UPDATE:

The FZR skin now has a Mobil number space. I am starting work on the FXR skin later today. Then I will re-post them as a set under a topic called "GTR SET".

http://i61.photobucket.com/alb ... 2/FZR_Green_Racing_BW.jpg

Enjoy.

Lol, maybe they are the same colour

And you inspired me with that colour scheme

Thx any way - sorting out problem on FZR stretchyness.

About the stretching on the FZR, yes I know, but thanks for noticing anyway, I am changing it, and will upload ASAP but the XRR skin has no problems.

I have made a second skin to go together with my first FZR skin. I am planning to make a FXR skin soon so that I have a complete GTR pack. But for now here are the two skins:

XRR:

http://i61.photobucket.com/alb ... 2/XRR_Green_Racing_BW.jpg

This skin has a space for numbers - to edit them just open the skin in a program such as Paint or Photoshop and place them inside the box, the save.

FZR:

http://i61.photobucket.com/alb ... 2/FZR_Green_Racing_BW.jpg

My first skin, no numbers. Goes together with XRR. Numbers will be put on after FXR skin is made.


EDIT- I have changed the FZR to compromise for stretching, and have added a number plate.

[admin edit: pls do not use img tags for skins, upload a thumbnail. This is the 3rd post of yours with the same skin in the forum!]

Everyones opinion counts my friend, I used a template, I will explain another time but I have no time today. Sorry. See you tommorow.

I was not going to throw my details out to him, besides what would be the point, he can only play on LAN so i am not going to do it, I was not going to do it in the first place as I bought the game for MYSELF only. Anyway, thanks for all the info, glad to have my questions answered.

Black Wolf

This means he cannot play online? Only LAN

As the site says "you may unlock on a friends pc to play him online" but to do that do i have to give him my username + password or is there some way i can unlock it for him without having to go throught this?

Thanks for the help i go S2 two days ago and all i can say is i love it...
