Upon the purchase of an ATI X800xl I decided to test the graphics compared to the lame attempts of my old Nvidia 6200.
After settting AA at 6x (max on this card) and AF at 16x (also max) I decided to race , and while noticing the FPS skyrocket , I didnt really notice that much of an increase in terms of graphics

Take a look
Is that the best LFS will look like??
**please note that slight reduction of picture quality is resultant of the .jpeg format**
***Also it was taken at 1280*1024 with in in game setting at max***

Aside from the silly red smoke mod, looks similar to mine, which is a similar setup, but 8xS AA.

If you look in the Unoffical mods section, some people have released high res textures for signs etc, and others have released enhanced textures which have been played with to make look sharper and clearer. Becky Rose & bo-kristiansen have both done this, and the results are nice compared to standard textures.

Also install the Reflection mod, makes the cars look a *lot* better.

^ what he said ^

plus use higher res skins!

Ok, so here's a screenie of my LFS at the moment. Please ignore the wallpaper to the right- I'm minus a hard drive at the moment so don't have photoshop to cut it off.

So what can I improve? Any options you think I've missed in tray tools? Any better textures available?

By the way, sorry about the mashed front wing.

Well not really true,but you can set up on NVIDIA cards(i think from 6xxx series and up) 16x AA !!!.

I notice 6xAA on ATI is not enough for nice screenshots unless you have resolution at least 1280*960/1280*1024 and up.

And yes,the only wqay now to improve LFS graphic is to install customer texture mods which can be find:

Also using hi-res(1024*1024 or 2048*2048) car skins can improve the screenshots in a nice way.

Some LFS Team movies on the web are rendered movies. they have nothing to do with the game it selves.

Tough LFS look the worls in real time tough .
Im running a Dual core AMD 4800+ with a ATO EAX1900XTX and i have to say that LFS is the best looking Sim out there. specially the fisical movements .

I have seen some rendered clips in the 3D section like these for example: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=8418

But the movies you see in the movies section are not rendered and are ingame. Some use special effects added to it though.
