I had a go at making a Windows screensaver. I noticed that the CMX car models format was available, so I adapted a screensaver I had previously made to read them.
It uses the files from the CMX Viewer S2S, so you will need to point it at that so it had a car and textures to display. http://www.lfs.net/?page=addons
Sorry in advance for the people who it doesn’t work for.
When I was taught to drive, my driving instructor told me the reason that you use your right foot on both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal was so that you didnt push them both at the same time. However when I took my advanded driving test that taught me to do that on occasions, such as driving through a ford , to keep the brakes functional.
As for driving while using a mobile phone, is that legal ? Here its an offence to use a mobile when driving .
Oh as for driving games, I used to brake and accelerate both with my left foot. Probably down to being left handed, although I do now a foot on each pedal
its the original quake source. Its not that complicated, a bit messy though. If you can understand this code that you probably could make a game, given time. However if this is hard, you might want to look at making a mod for an exsisting game. You get ther personalised feel with a quater of the effort
I thought this would be a good place to ask, what with all the petrolheads.
I just filled up my car with petrol at £0.88 a litre, thats €1.29 a litre or 1.54 USD.
I was curious to how this compares to other countries. I am almost afraid to find out how cheap it is in America these days, more or less free as I understand
I found churchill the cheapest for my insurance needs, plus you get a discount on that nodding dog . There are some things you could do to get insurance down.
You could keep the car in a locked garage rather than on the street.
You could get a certified alarm and/or mobiliser fitted.
You could move to the suburbs where the postcode would no doubt be a cheaper postcode.
You could promise to only driver for social and domestic pleasure and only on the weekend.
Whats is NCAA ? and what is NBA ? Come to think of it, Basketball ?? nobody here plays that, too much like netball which is a bit of a girls sport. My old university had a football team. If America took up football, could get some games of that going.
hmm, U.S dont know how cheap petrol is. By my calculations,
British price for petrol £0.90 per litre,
That is £3.411 per us gallon
Convert that into dollars,
3.411 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 6.24735 USD United States Dollars or
3.411 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 5.00660 EUR Euro
Well, I will have some of this $6 a gallon gas if its going, might save a bit of cash
As someone who has hit a wrecker and been baned from a server by the guy who then drove into me, I would agree something to stop wreckers would be a good idea.
Could some sort of credability rating be introduced based on distance ? Each mile/km on a clean lap could be totaled and when greater than some well thought up distance level, the player gains a point of credability. This wouldn't hurt the slower but clean racers but I would imagine it would hurt the wreckers, I dont think they would be so likly to have clocked up the laps.
Bobs right you know. Attached are some screenies, the narrow and wide show the same fov but narrow is 3:4 and wide is 16:9 . The pylon out the right side window is both times on the edge of the screen. Clearly LFS handles the wide screen by stretching the image without adjsuting the fov.
If I bump up the fov from 90 to 100, you get the 100fov attachment, its at 16:9 but show extra info at the sides, the pylon isnt at the edge anymore. The narrow pic fits nicly (more or less) ontop and I think this i the desired result .
