I like how you put the rear brake calipers on the wrong side of the disc, and skoda auto was happy with this?

Also the disc sizes are a bit optamistic unless it wasnt intended to be standard.

Ok now i know lfs isnt on the list of their "bad games" and nor should it be (although with their attitude im sure they would include it somehow) but im sure as gamers you play other games and will be disgusted when you see the video and the details about Julie Peasgood who is "catagorically against violence" when she herself was a voice actor for a character in an old horror game matrian gothic.

Please take a few moments to read and hopefully sign the petition for an appology for the disgracefull attitude towards Tim Ingham, editor of CVG.

Petition

Feel free to add the link to your sigs and post it on any gaming forums to help the gamers get their voice heard.

Thanks.

Quote from JJ72 :

The rules were written by me like this:

"Aquaplaning'


Make an extreme wet weather edit with pouring rain, and a car on slicks.



"Aquaplaning" is the idea of an extreme wet edit, it's the theme of the competition, just to point out we want something more radical than usual rain edit. But as I said it's an invitation but not an requirment, the sentence I used to interpret the theme did not require an actual lost of control, since aquaplanning does not equal certain death.

and another point is you can't argue whether a car in the picture IS actually aquaplaning. And none of the pics exgarrated a serious lost of control, so it's hard to say whether someone followed the theme. I put a river at the bottom of "Eau Rouge" so I guess mine should be aquaplanning pretty hard as well, but I can't possible prove it, same to everyone else.

And think about the T1 carnage week, no one had ever questioned whether some picture are indeed taken at T1, although some obviously ain't T1 in any of the configurations, but I think it's a screen edit competition and it should be the quality of the edit deciding the outcome, and it's written as it is in the beginning.

Yea i can understand that its just i tried to follow the theme like some of the 1st posts pointed out, not just a rain scene (that was added on the voting) which would have been alot easier, maybe if the "or rainy" was added at the start it would have been different.

I just figured alot of ppl would have done similar to what i did and depict a car loosing control.

And aquaplaning normally means the beginning of loss or loosing of control of the vehicle in standing water.

In motor vehicles


Response

What the driver experiences when a vehicle hydroplanes depends on which wheels have lost traction and the direction of travel.
If the vehicle is traveling straight, it may begin to feel slightly loose. If there was a high level of road feel in normal conditions, it may suddenly diminish. Small correctional control inputs will be ignored by the vehicle.
If the drive wheels hydroplane, there may be a sudden audible rise in engine RPM and indicated speed as they begin to spin. In a broad highway turn, if the front wheels lose traction, the car will suddenly begin to drift towards the outside of the bend. If the rear wheels lose traction, the back of the car will begin to slew out sideways into a skid. If all four wheels hydroplane at once, the car will slide in a straight line, again towards the outside of the bend if in a turn. When any or all of the wheels regain traction, there may be a sudden jerk in whatever direction that wheel is pointed.

Oh well always next time.

Guess im just competitive lol

Sixth week voting.

This weeks theme was to make an aquaplaning or rainy scene.

Can i ask why this was changed from the original theme of aquaplaning please?

Not really fair if i was pretty much the only person to actually follow the theme and then it gets changed.

Quote from beefyman666 :

Congratulations to JJ72 once again, and this weeks theme is...

Aquaplaning


Rules: (made by JJ72, won't be changed)

@JJ72
@Mistikal
Very nice edit, just two things :o both about the front light - I think it's reflection from the water should look like the light's reflection on JJ's picture ( vertically distorted ). And the second thing, as the car is so close to the wall, shouldn't there be some kind of lighter spot on the wall ( where the frontlight shines ). Other than that, brilliantly done, both of you. I wish I had the skills you guys have :O those pictures make me want to timejump into the future to finaly see the rain in LFS :P

Well the water is standing so its meant to be mirror like, the only time you would get the haze is if it was at a distance.
I spent enough time on it and didn't want to do anything more to it, and if you look at the barrier the light is shining.

Thanks for the kind words JJ, and yea, mine was the same, came out to 42 layers in total with all the effects and reflections.

Should see some of my photochops tho, some of those go well into the hundreds regarding layers :o

As you said unless something better comes up i will be voting for you also

I just tried to keep the aquaplaning theme and not just a rain scene.

edit: posted an original aswell.

Thanks guys

Nice work guys.

Went for a "before the crash" with this one, water running down the slope and ending up as standing water on the flat resulting in aquaplaning instead of cornering.

Hope you like.

Thanks for clearing that up, didn't want to waste time doing one with a render

Regarding the no renders do you mean no renders atall or can i use my own renders?

If you cant find an addon just use f9, theres one on the left side of the right tyre display.

Ian why is it almost every post i see from you negative? if you think the thread is pointless why post in it? unless you get off acting big over the net?

Seriously, grow up mate....and get over yourself, no need for it.

On topic, i always use my own skins

Its not a question of driving skills...ppl make mistakes, dosnt matter who you are no1 is perfect.
The fact is the collision of the barriers are NOT meant to send you 200ft into the air when hitting them at stupidly slow speeds let alone high speed.

I would love to see these fixed aswell, nothing more annoying than telling friends about LFS and how realistic it is only for them to see you slightly clip a barrier and end up going into orbit >.>

Affects autocross drifting aswell as the others, and for those who keep saying LFS is for racing only...if that was the case why is there options to do all the rest then....seriously get over it, i like to play all aspects of the game.
