512 x 384 and I'm capturing my stuff from fraps, so that'd be *.avi files.

I'm far from being an expert at this technical side of things, but a friend of mine says it'd be a good idea to compress your captured footage with XviD or something similar (no watermark). The whole film is going to be around 5-6 minutes long, depending on what version of the track I've got in mind I end up using, just go give a general idea of how much footage I'll be needing

Other than that: Keep it varied, keep it exciting and by all means tell me if I'm doing anything wrong

Just to clarify

- I can't capture the footage from LFS myself. Or rather, I'd much prefer not to as I'm pretty sure it wouldn't turn out as well as I know it would, if somebody more experienced did it. Thanks for the tip though, Sam!
- I'd prefer not to use footage that has already been used. This film needs to be done properly, and I believe unique footage is a requirement for that.

Hi all,

I'm planning on making a little - or rather quite a large - sim racing compilation, with as many sims as possible. As of right now, I currently own GPL, NR2003, LFS, rFactor and RBR and will be able to capture footage from most of these by myself. However, I neither have the knowledge to use the LFS replay/camera system confidently, nor do I have any actual replays to do justice to this sector of simracing.

I'd like as much variation as possible, with both the GT and open wheel cars, as I'll be trying to showcase simracing as a whole - with all the different methods currently available.

This is why I've come here, and to this subforum specifically, to ask for footage of both good clean racing and the inevitable crashes. I have raced on the CTRA servers on a number of occasions, and I'm confident at least some of you have at least some replays of some action packed racing saved somewhere on your HD

Depending on how many, if any, volunteer to do any capturing, I'll send you my e-mail address to which you can send the captures. Preferably with sound. Obviously I'll include your name in the credits.

Cheers!
-Esben

Is that the one i made?

Nah mate, I decided to give it a go myself. But thanks for trying

My personal design, you'll see it wherever I race

Those rims are just plain tasty in black (first post) :clapclap:

*first bump*

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm going to try doing it myself

Thanks for making an attempt, but it doesn't quite look the way I'd imagined it. Too square, somehow, and the stripes are too far away from the visor. Thanks for trying though!

Any other takers?

Basically, it's Jean Alesi's helmet with some different colours. I don't want the Norwegian flag on the top, just the Alesi/de Angelis stripes

Wow, a lot of nice skins here.....too many nice skins here

*Goes off to attempt making another one*

Djeeez, what's with the demo racer hostility going on in these forums?

I don't bite

It's my first real try at making a skin for LFS, although I've made quite a few for NR2003.

Here are the file thingies btw, I wasn't sure whether or not to include them

Ooh, I like what you've done with the exhaust
