Why are there no third parties that create for LFS????
There must be a reason.

Thanks for those links (above). Some brilliant suggestions on there. A shame it was 2005 and still no sign of anything that was noted :-(

POLYRACER - I will do fella. What would you say is best???

I have to admit the damage could be alot better in LFS. The tinyest of knocks to the wall and the car is flipping in the sky LOL. I think the setups are very good though.

Hi guys. This question has probably been asked so many times but no matter how much I search I cant find an answer. I bought Rfactor last week and I love the idea of being able to add cars such as Clio's, Subaru's etc and tracks such as nurburgring but I have to say the game is pretty crap to be honest.

Why is it that LFS dont have and add on's for such tracks or cars. I know the cars are basically modelled on some real life vehicles but why not like Rfactor and tracks. I assumed it was because of copyright issues but how can it be if Rfactor are doing it. Is there anyway of changing the cars for extra mod addons etc??

Thanks for your time guys

Gotta say guys I purchased Rfactor the other day. Really liked the idea of being able to download tracks such as 'Brands Hatch' and 'Nurburgring' and also additional cars such as BMW, Clio's, Trucks etc. However.....................

The gameplay is no-where near that as good as LFS. LFS is by far the most realistic sim I have played. Rfactor is good but I would rate that as a game and not a sim. Thge realism isn't quite the same :-(

thanks for all your input guys. Gotta admit I heard gtr and legends isn't very good but have to admit rfactor does look good. I will download and test I think.

The 3 sims that I listed above!

I dont see why I cant ask top be honest. I'm sure alot of people here play another racing game/sim aswell as LFS. I love LFS and I'm sure it will be very hard to beat but I can play more than one racing surely :-)

Hi guys. I am loving LFS at the moment. Registered a while ago but getting right into it. I was just wandering....

I have seen other sims available for download such as -
RFactor
GTR
Racing legends.

Just wandered if you guys had tried any of them. Are they any good? Dont worry I wont be leaving LFS just wandered as I have loads of racing games already. Are they worth downloading. Are they games or sims. I only like sims to be honest.

Thanks in adavnce for your help

what times does the server run?

Sounds good there is now a server for serious racers and not demolition derby's ;-)

thanks fella. I was quite proud. Had bit of experience with photoshop before so didn't find it too hard. Learnt alot from playing about with it though. Hoping the next one will take half the time. I think it has been done for fzr but not sure. Trouble is alot of skins have been done before. More for satisfaction of saying you made your own haha.

Trying to find other cars from touring car or other well known cars to go by.

i would if i knew how haha

its not 100% before anyone says. It took me ages so i just through some sponsors on to save time

Hey guys. Here is a pic of my first skin. took me ages and I know its not brilliant but I thought it was good for a first attempt. what you think?? It was obviously an attempt at team halfords

thanks for the help guys

lovely stuff. thanks for your help. do i literally just choose the colours i want where, and the textures are done automatic or do i need to find slightly darker tone myself for say wheel arches as light is different. thanks

No offence but I am a newbie and sorry if I sound dumb but I got to learn somewhere

I have made a skin but it is matt in colour. was just wandering if it would look matt in the game? If the cmx viewer does it automatically then its fine.

I do have one other question though. To view my skin in the viewer do I just save to my normal LFS skins folder? Or do i have to save to a folder in my 'cmx viewer folder'. Thanks

i have started to design a skin on photoshop cs2 but only seem to get matt colours. Can anybody tell me how i get them with the shiny metallic look such as the in game colours. Thanks

ok thanks. so even though i dont have default files it will be ok?

Where do i save the skin files that I create?? i have no jpg files in my current skin folder. should i be converting the jpg's to DDS?

Got a weird question. Trying to get myself some new skins for LFS S2 and I keep hearing to put them in data/skins folder with the other skins.

WELL.....

In my data/skins folder I have nothing at all. Anyone know where to put them?

I also have skins_dds, skins_x, skins_y folders if that helps.

thanks

Hopefully I should be able to make it. Will do some practice laps tonight but it also depends on how many more cars enter as my lag is terrible

i would like to join in but my lag is not so good and with 32 cars I would have no chance off the start line

Hi guys. Still quite new to this game but saw there was a competition back in june for a G25 wheel.

Are there regular competitions such as this as I would love to enter. Is there a site I can check for example with monthly competitions.

Thanks

ok didnt think it would be? I have seen on the demo servers that on the straight of BL GP track they have staging lights for dragging. Any ideas on how to introduce that to an autocross drag???

Is it possible to do a burnt out before a drag, Then pull forward to stage and wait for lights as in reality??
Thanks

Good on you mate. No offence but i think its easy for these guys to criticise but i think its a great vid and wish i could do it. I can't even drift
