yea, i noe s2 will be incredibly fun or at least i think it will be but some part of me doesnt want to get s2, not becoz i want to stay in demo, but i dont think ill be getting a whole lot more that and i dont wanna get into s2 servers and be called noob and ban me from them, like i do sometimes in the fbm server name that starts with air and ends with tackjust becoz i dont do 12s (i was doing 16s back then, now i do mid 14s) not the servers fault maybe just the ppl who go there doing incredible fast times and hate me for doing unextraordinary times. i dont get kicked from there anymore, but i cant help but think that this incident will happen when i get s2, maybe im just overthinking it

Hi everyone =)
im not exactly new to lfs, ive been demo'ing since they updated the patch, coz i remember playing it for 2 days then suddenly it told me to update so im guess nearly 2 years ive been an lfs addict for
im am new to this forum =) tho i have signed up a long time ago, anyway i race on the fbm alot and hope to see some of u guys around
i wud like to buy the s2 licence but im having doubts, firstly it cost money and secondly im not that good of a player and lastly it cost money
maybe ill get myself s2 when i REALLY REALLY want it, right now im like 'meh'

...................hmmmmmmmmmmmm........
im ok...........:weeping::weeping::weeping::weeping::weeping::weeping: just kidding

tbh i personally really liked the mountain dew one, and the winning entry i personally didnt really like (not that its bad or anything, just not wht i like) due to the spraying, or maybe coz i didnt have the whole skin file to look at it in 3d anyways congrats to the winning entry and the fastest time hope you have fun in s2 u2 (lol)

i look at these times that u guys do i cry a little inside:hidesbehi
why must i be so slow

Quote from Grigg94 :

personally i dont believe that demo users are entering this competition because demo users would spend that much patience and time on a skin that they couldn't use.

Personally i think that people are asking demo users if they can use there account to enter this competition because if you look at some other skins from s2 racers the demo skins are outstanding but i could be wrong.

-Griggski.

are u saying that the skins here looks good even compared to the S2 users

now on a more serious note, i am truely a demo racer, i have only started skining just a month ago (in late august i think) and i wanted to make a skin before i even seen this competition just to see if i can do a skin/design like some of the ones ive seen on youtube or around the web. so far ive made 1 "for fun" skins and 3 competition entries, i wanted to try and show my skins to the public to see whehter or not ppl like them, and if they do they might help me upload to lfsw, if no one uploads, i still noe that my designs are somewht aprrecitated despite the lack of audience during online play
i say this not to be mean or anything, im not trying to say that u hate demo players but i just want you to know that, me, as a demoer, still love this game as much as S2s and would gladly spend time on making skins that no one will see online

My last submission
My make believe HTC Android team skin, this is the only one that is remotely realistic (i.e. not over the top flashy or immature like my other ones )
Once again another promotion poster. i like making posters

Quote from The Very End :

Great skins you two
Will be a hard competition!

thanks

im thinking of doing a 3rd submission, this competition thing made me obsessed with skinning i think about car designs before i go to bed now

second submission
i felt like doing something a bit more flashy and more importish and pink(dunno why, i felt that lime green or lightning blue didnt work as well)
there wont be multiviews, just a promotional poster since im running out of attachment space

Quote from carey :

Password protect the archive then PM Greboth the password (if you want to keep them private)

i want to keep the skin files private up until the day of the judging(did i spell that correctly:razz after that i will post the skin files if someone wants it or wants to help me upload it to LFSW thnks in advance if anyone feels so

Quote from Greboth :

Yes the skins need to be either posted here, or if you are doing private skins then PM'ed to me.

how do i send an attatchment py PM, i dun see the attachment option anywhere, perhaps i can rar/zip them and post it here are rar/zip files ok and which one would you prefer rar or zip

do i have to post the skin files as well or are just the screen shots ok

that looks really really really nice

am i allowed to submit more than one skin design set, becoz i feel like i wanna do another one but i dunno if that will be against the rules or anything and just for clarification, the new design would be completely different from the original submission

im done my skins
here goes
included are
FBM multiview, XFG Multiview, FXR Multiview and Promotional Poster with all 3 cars together

@Greboth it is spacebar , thanks for the tip

hey do any of u guys noe how to remove the settings boxes from the cmx viewer so i can take a better screen shot(s) to upload

im gonna try =) be back in a week or so to produce three

Quote from carey :

Do you ‘blip’ the throttle on downshifts? Ultimately I find it a bit slower (or faster than continually correcting the rear end is if that’s how you want to look at it) but it does help with stability.

no i dun blip, well even if i knew how to i couldnt becoz i use a crappy wheel with combined a axis so it doesnt work.

i can spot alot if issues, and this is not my best lap, and i seem to think that the twitch is actually less than it is when i first got the set, it seems to me that braking seems to be more of an issue thant the diff itself whatever the issue maybe i hope that one of you driving gods can tell me how i can improve my lap

well yes the twitch only occurs for only slight ammount of time maybe less than 0.5s but its not the twitch that i dun like, its how i judge my corner entry, when i turn in its really poise and direct, then it kinda twitches into understeer so apply more steering, then it normals out. i feel that its making my already awkward driving more awkward. im not the smoothest driver but i want to try and improve the smoothness to make the car glide rather than it be jittery.
i will try to make a reasonable replay that i am not ashame to post

hi everyone, i love lfs and the community and the constant mods/apps ppl are making =)
my question is when i drive my fbm using the clutch pack with the %locking and preload, the back end seems to be more smooth when compared to that when i use the vicous lsd. when i use the vicous lsd it goes in loose then it locks (then i understeer) then it losesns again, so basically it does a about 3 to 5 degrees twtich. does that happen in real life?
and how can i make it better, i get better times using the vicous lsd becoz its more loose compared to the clutch pack (no matter wht i do it doesnt give me the same lose/sticky ratio as in the vicous) but lately when i altered my driving style slighty to adjust to the lsd its better it twitches less but its still there. can someone kindly tell me whts wrong
