New helmet skin for Harry Makriyiannis from Greece and My3id Racing.

***private use only, unless you are also from Greece and are named Harry Makriyiannis ***




Note: Harry, I've PM'd you with the whole 512 (upload) & 2048 (local folder) package.

Thank you very much Lee. Really nice work!

Dennis is a fast guy and a good friend. Take care of him.

Nice to see Core's European division getting bigger and bigger. Good luck!

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

the balancing of small gtrs is ok i think, the times are track depended very close to each other.

the big ones are good on a distance more than 3 hours.... but for short races the fzr is totally imba. followed by xrr, which is much slower than fzr but much faster than fxr...

the fxr needs a bit more engine performance
the xrr should stay as it is (as a base)
the fzr should be slower and the fuel consumption has to be lower

look here for the "balancing" in qualyfying:

+1 but i don't think FXR will be much better with just better engine.

Quote from Fischfix :

i am interested in tire wear... are there any figures something like: "FZR burns tires 30% faster then FXR"???

Or maybe the opposite... . But seriously I don't know as I only drive the FZR.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

...your in high RPM most the time, your driver will be racing with one hand which will look stupid.

Not really as there are some professional racing drivers that use the one-handed steering technique. It's not stupid at all.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Yea, but the problem is I can't really see my own wheel when playing. I can look down a bit, but then I can't see where I'm going. With the in-game wheel, I can see the tape without taking my eyes off the road

+1 It depends on the driver in my opinion whether he feels where the steering wheel is pointing or he has to keep an eye on it.

Other than that there is still the option of keeping the animation on for those that like it and off for those that don't, through the options menu. Just like it is right now but with a bit more complicated animation....

Anyway, personally I like that future.

Probably it's a bit high since mine is at 57C (when i play LFS at least). As said before a good way to improve temps is to make the airflow in your case better. Make sure that your pc tower is not put with it's back or front close to the wall. You might need to open the side panel to keep the air fresh/cool. And if you have to buy fans, a case fun is much cheaper than a GPU fan.

P.S. My card is a stock Asus 8800GT.

Hmm, so if the Opening Ceremony is supposed to represent the host country, then will the 2012 opening ceremony have hundreds of chavs yelling at each other, torching cars, mugging pensioners and robbing shops?

Rofl.

As for Greece, I guess that the only gold medal that we will take in Beijing will be in "most-athletes-kicked-out-cause-of-doping" . We have the lead with 15 athletes being positive to the anti-doping test .

Well done guys, Core Racing is becoming stronger and stronger! Best wishes for the future.

I really liked Hugo from a few races we had together and he seems pretty fast as well. Welcome aboard mate!

Hello,

I would like to make a request for a personal helmet if anyone is willing to make one. It doesn't have to be too complicated, just have some black elements as my favorite color is black. Another color that might match is red or yellow. A pattern that seems nice is this: http://www.lfsforum.net/images ... atars/avatar143479_14.gif . Again, it doesn't have to be a copy of that or be that complicated. Anyway, I will use this helmet as my all rounder one, in leagues and in public races.

Thanks in advance,
H.Makriyiannis

P.S. My nationality flag is greek so feel free to use it on the skin if you want.

I noticed that brake disks in garage have something like pixels that don't match the rest of the car (see attached pictures). I thought I should say that in case it's a bug. Zoom the picture to see it better, it's more see able in-game. It happens in Y30 and after. I also use AA at full. This happens in every car at the same spot.

P.S. sorry if this has been said before.

Quote from HVS5b :

What, theres a button clutch as well? And this is quicker than autoclutch?

Jeez, sometimes the less I know the better

I just can't use the shifter with autoclutch, it feels oh so wrong

I'm off to check these WR's with button clutch when I get home. If it truly is as quick as you say, it should be removed imo.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=39818 check post #16 here . And yes, I agree that auto clutch with shifter is weird.

Obviously, someone with a shifter and manual clutch is slower on braking points and that is because your right foot has to be lifted off completely from the accelerator and press the brake pedal while in auto clutch the brake pedal can be pressed with your left foot while your right foot is still pressing the throttle. That's about one tenth in each braking required corner and let's say the track has five of them so you are already half a second behind. That does not apply when you use auto clutch and h-pattern shifter imo. Anyway, I even find auto clutch as a disadvantage when button clutch comes into play, for example pecholobo's hotlaps. Shifting with a button clutch gives you about two tenths on a straightaway compared to an auto clutch and better stability/control of the car at some corners (the last one is my opinion).

Well maybe the reason why some people won't use a shifter for their hotlaps is that it is a lot more difficult to do a decent time with H-pattern than an auto clutch or paddles. By the way, I used to drive and race with my shifter some time ago but the effort i put on it in order to win was a lot more than paddles so instead I only drive and hotlap with paddles... I used to win and enjoy most of my H-pattern races though!

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

I understand your point of view, however, think of how many people actually have a G25. There are a vast number of people who don't have one, and they greatly outnumber the people who do have one. If the game restricts the controllers, we will lose all the players. We would lose the players who use mouse/keyboard/crappy wheels, but we would also lose G25 users because there will not be many people left to race against. It would destroy the game in my opinion.

Actually, it would be better to have this as an option, not force people to use it. Maybe it would also be useful if there would be a league with shifter-only drivers... Anyways, this is just my opinion.

Well personally I was a bit hesitating as well when I bought Vista. The best solution that helped me a lot was installing Vista on my second HDD and keep XP on my previous one. That let me use both of them, which seemed very handy and you don't have to choose only one of them and be afraid that you might not like it etc. Think about that only if you decide to spend some more money on a second HDD, although you might find that choosing which OS you like everytime you reboot might become a bit frustrating at some times .

Once again, good luck. LFS is a nice game so don't forget to have fun as well

I know this is an old thread but since i was wondering the same thing with R.Kolz I decided to post here some pre-Y hotlap times that I still have in replays:

AS3R/FZ5 - 1:58.86
FE1/MRT - 0:42.05
FE1/XFG - 0:49.49
FE3R/FZ5 - 1:32.76
AS2R/FOX - 1:00.58
SO2/MRT - 0:54.74
SO4R/FZ5 - 1:48.03
AS5R/FZ5 - 2:12.00
BL1/XRG - 1:32.75
BL1R/XRG - 1:33.68
BL1R/XRT - 1:24.16
BL1R/UF1 - 1:41.75
BL1R/FZ5 - 1:20.66
BL1R/UFR - 1:15.12
BL1R/FXR - 1:06.93
BL1/FZR - 1:05.12
BL1R/BF1 - 0:52.81
BL1R/XRR - 1:06.63
SO1R/XRG - 0:57.30
SO1/XRG - 0:56.91
SO1/XFG - 0:56.94

If someone else got some, please post them here if it's not a problem. I also decided not to put any lfsw names on the hotlaps just in case. I'm not 100% sure that all of them were the WR laps..

Indeed happy anniversary. You reminded me of all the good races we had together. Keep up the good work .

Thank you for the kind words guys

Never met Fox 2 so this might be difficult. Let's wait for his response..

Quote from Lynce :

This is the Idea:

RAC vs FZ50 and

[GR]Evolution with RAC vs Fox 2 with FZ50.

Rules:

3 laps. 3 races.

The circuit what they choose.

No chat.

3 mprs or sprs.




I need help to locate this exceptional racers and talk with they for this idea. Motive: My english.

The movie it is about the best race.

The most exciting race.

No nice effects. Only blur and camera work. No need more.


Can any person help me with this?

Seriousness, please.

Well, give me a date and i will see if I can make it. I'm a bit busy with school exams so don't shoot . Me against Fox 2 huh? . Nasty stuff...
