Okay so I have the same problem now, didn't realise it won't load all of the settings. I'll have to re-add them all now.

So much for presets.

Edit: Well, for some odd reason print screen won't work and I can't be bothered to go searching for something else, so I'll just type them out

--Cartype editor--

Weight = 0.35
Min/Max gears = 3/8
Drive = default
Min/Max Cylinders = 1/8
Min/Max Disp. = 1000/8300
Torque = 1.6
Power = 0.143
Idle = 65

--Engine--

Gearbox - H Pattern
Drive = AWD
Engine = V
Clyinders = 8
Displacement = 8300
Torque = 0.96
Power = 0.95
(check update cartype info box)

--Wheels--

FL/FR loc. = 1.43/1.43
RL/RR loc. = -1.73/-1.73
Front distance = 0.092
Rear distance = 0.095
Tyre size = 0.45/0.45

--Other--

Cartype = Saloon
NO TURBO

Also, if you set the sounds to these settings while driving a V8, it sounds just like a Bowler Wildcat.

I'll grab a screenie tomorrow after work, right now it's sleep time

Certainly can:

Both in a .zip.

I think it's great, you can even do massive drifts on tarmac, and then go and show off your wheel articulation on the walls of FE rallyX.

Also you can't beat watching an AI use up 8 laps worth of fuel in just one and running out before it can pit.

It's for the latest tweak btw.

Is this server still up. I'm a big fan of off road trials (Land Rover driver) so this is the perfect server.

Also, I'm not sure how the rules go as far as Tweak is concerned, but that would be the sweet sweet icing on an already tasty cake, since I've just finished the perfect buggy/4x4 set (chunky tyres, 8.3 V8, lockers all around, long travel suspension)

Can you let me know if that's actually allowed on servers at all?

Cheers
Matt

Not trying to stir up trouble but lets see the screenshot then.

I'm on the fence with mods to the body. They sound nice (I use LFS for cruising mainly instead of racing) and there are lots of skilled modellers on here and the internet as a whole but I understand that the devs wouldn't want to release the models to people.

I wouldn't trust anyone who put up a download link for said light bar anyway, probably just a trojan.

OK I know that many threads have been posted before about safety cars, but this thread is not about the AI.

For the sake of realism, I am suggesting that an external program could be created to run alongside LFS to add flashing lights to safety cars. The idea is that the program would monitor the car skin, and when a preset skin is selected, the program switches the car model to add the lights.

This could also work for marshall tow trucks by adding front and rear nudge bars. Obviously this would work with AI too but that's not my concern.

I can't imagine a small light bar would take a huge amount of time to model (maybe I'm wrong) and small nudge bars (maybe something like US police car bars) could be done fairly quickly too.

The only difficulty I see is allowing people to change the skin without making the extra 'parts' available to every n00b racer there is. I'm guessing the program would be given out to all server admins instead of just letting people download it.

One final thought is the lights themselves. I know that not all pace cars have orange lights (this Audi for example) so it would be useful to have the lights skinned as a dds file to allow the colours to be changed at will.

Thanks for your time reading this, I welcome all constructive criticism.

Quote from Falcon140 :

Just rename the file to XFG_BLAHBLAHBLAH,

And there ya go.

That does work, but the strips around the XFG cover up the logos. Will need some adjustments, I don't think it will look very good, but I can give it a go soon.

Quote from batteryy :

Beeaaty skin. could u make it for XFG too?

Should be able to, I'll have a go for you later.

Here's my 2006 Ford WRC skin for the XFR. Had this for a while but now I want to show it off







And the skin:



The skin is already on LFSworld, so don't change the skin name.

Matt

They actually look pretty good

Shame they can't be linked to a skin

back on now

hey frenchy

i tried to connect too, and the sever was down. now it's up again but without CLC. maybe one of the admins needs to start the game up again

i should be able to join, my motherboard should be back by then so i will have a running PC for LFS. i think i may enter in the UFR, i'll have to decide

i see. so a 7600GS would be good then. i've only had the card for around 8 months i think

i'm not sure if you are saying my PC is good or bad. btw i only paid £40 for the GFX card

now you've taken the piss out of my card in 2 threads not bothered really

my machine is:

ASrock 939Dual-SATA
AMD 64 x2 4200+
2GB Corsair DDR400
320GB Seagate SATA HDD
Ati Radeon 9250 AGP (256Mb)
iCute modding case

well not at the moment. the motherboard died so i'm waiting for a replacement at the moment. it did run LFS very well, at 70fps

lol might be true...........

i want some cash so i can spend £88 on a geforce 7600 GS

no i will not buy a PS3, until next christmas at least. getting a 360 this christmas so i will be busy with that

BTW i don't want a Wii

i'll sell you my radeon 9250 for £40 only 6 months old

Hi

this is my first skin. i think it turned out pretty good. i used to using photoshop too so i hoped it would. it's a bit rough, so if anyone wants to clean up the lines they can.

this used to happen with my old LG burner. you just have to wait for the software to finish working on the disc before you can get it back. failing that, use the paperclip or restart the computer. that always works

i love driving stunt layouts with the MRT, i set parallel steer to 0 and it turns in perfect. very sharp and precise. please make a stunt track

i got a USB logitech wheel a few years ago and i'm uising that for LFS. doesn't have a clutch, but has flappy paddles

hii'm new here, got S2 last weekend and started playing with the new cars. my game username is [UK]matt2000 so keep an eye out for me. getting pro scores in training so i'm coming to beat y'all
