Hi,

Can be the template, but you can try to paint a little bit over the edges over the black mask.
Check in lfsview, you should see it there too.

Yes, I see the black edges in the LFS Viewer. In fact, I notice more now that you mentioned it.

Mike- what rendering program do you use and how long did it take to render my BF1 skin? Is that flourescent tube lighting that you used for effect?

Cheers,

You're the man! Lovely, just blown away. Looks better than I thought it would.

Re: the dark edges, is it something with the template or something I did?

Thanks again!

Here you go, as you can see in the render there is some problems with dark edges on your skin.

regards mike

Would be great to see how this F1 skin would look rendered with a reflective floor!

Listed with 1024x1024 and 2048x2048.

Thanks in advance!

At very low speeds there are some mild problems.

However speed has no bearing on how easy it is to loose grip. If anything, you've more torque at low speeds due to gearing, so it's easier to overcome the grip of the rear wheels.

Just felt like the inertia factor was exaggerated and made the car very loose (in the demo).

Hi

Yesterday I downloaded the game and used it in demo mode.

I expected the sound to be a bit bland from previous test of the demo in older versions. But what I did not expect was the tyre model.

What i wrong with it?

How come the 3 accesible cars in the demo slide/drift around like they were driving on ice? Is it the tyre model? or is the road that is wrong. It felt like I was driving on very very worn tyres that should be illegal both on road and track.

Will this be fixed in the coming patches or is it how you guys like to drive?

I drive a Nissan 350z as my daily car and I do not slide around like that - even when braking and turning slightly at the same time.

If you want to see a good simulation of a car - try out netKar Pro.

Yes, I thought the same thing when I tried the demo. I couldn't believe nobody was talking about how easily the car slides and loses traction at low speed. Felt unrealistic. The training had the same feel to it. Lost grip very quickly. Then I kept reading the reviews and had to try the full version.

Whoa! The S2 version is a masterpiece. I've never gone back to rFactor since. Everything feels right, physics, tires, setup changes, etc. I'm fortunate enough to run LFS at 1920x1080 (32 bit) w/maxed out details on a Westinghouse 37" widescreen monitor and it is stunning. Together with 5.1 surround sound, Momo wheel, ECCI pedals, this sim really pulls you in. Driving the BMW F1 car at speed makes a grown man giggle.

The AI can be very aggressive at PRO level, but I'm sure this will be tweaked in upcoming patches.

NetKar Pro looked terrific also but the cars seem underpowered compared to the cars in LFS & rFactor. I'll probably give it a go anyway. The reviews have been very positive (love those cockpits).
