If you're using blender 2.49 there is a drop down at the top of the window where you got all the cars listed.

Yes I'm using 2.49b and your method worked.

Thanks a lot, sorry to bump this ancient thread.

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :

but both are front engined and look nothing like a 911?

FZ50 weight distribution: 38F / 62R.

What makes you think its front-engined?

Yes, obviously both are based off of a 911 Carrera.

But between the FZ50 and Comet, they look very much alike. They look more like each other than actual 911's.

Hmm.. I'm awful at Blender and was able to figure it out. I'll post a picture later tonight with how I did it

Hey, sorry to bother you (your personal messages are full apparently).

https://www.lfsforum.net/showt ... php?p=1804538#post1804538

Did you ever figure out how to make cars show up in Blender? That part of the tutorial is unclear. Or I'm just stupid.

EDIT: http://puu.sh/57hTD.png

I am stuck at halfway. I press Control + L and select FZ50 but it doesn't show up..

So, we all know and love the FZ50.

But the FZ50 looks like a 1999 to 2003-ish car.

I noticed the Comet from GTA:IV (and GTA:V) looks like a newer FZ50, like 2005 to 2009-ish.

What do you guys think?

That should be the best one you're looking for. It has "layers" set up for each of the cars as well.

Yes, but the pictures in the tutorial are broken unfortunately. I don't know how to select each "layer".

I tried using Blender's conventional "layer" buttons but it doesn't work.

My intention is not to post the models here, I just want some "3D tuning" for personal use. FZ50 seems like a cool car to modify. If anybody knows how to get FZ50 (or any) models into Blender, that'd be great. There's some Blender all-car pack on the forum but it has thousands of files and I don't know which one is the FZ50 body.

Blender does have a steep learning curve, especially for 2.49, but once you watch UI tutorials it becomes easy.

Here is some of my work:

If somebody can get me 3D formats of cars like the FZ5 (or give me a tutorial on how to get them into a format Blender accepts) I can probably give it my own "996 turbo" modifications.

Agreed, Project Cars looks stunning, but it seems like it has a less-sandbox gameplay than Live for Speed. With Live for Speed + LFS Tweak you can be entertained for some time making engines and driving around on custom tracks aimlessly.

I want a game that has the physics of Live for Speed, the open-world city/rural cruising maps like Test Drive Unlimited (2), the graphics of GT5, the customization of Forza, and nice online racing like Forza.

Why can't some big game developer get a hint and make something like this?

Quote from OTone :

Doest it take SO MUCH effort to make lets say 1 car and 1 track a year? Outrageous.

And Live for Speed is big, big money too... even in 2013 I've gotten friends to buy this game (in S2 variant) and give money to the developers. Just imagine how much money they make world-wide.

If they put in a LITTLE effort and made S3, they'd be making a lot of money. Scawen, Bailey, Vlaardingen... get to work. It will pay off, both money-wise and moral-wise.

Face it, the VW Scirocco and Rockingham are disappointing people who can't deal with reality - they won't be released for a long time. Fair enough.

However, I have an idea that would be easy for the team of Scawen, Bailey and Vlaardingen. Listen up.

Car allocation

First, in order to accommodate new cars, we need a second page on the car selection screen.

GTR cars would be moved to the second page.

This would allocate a lot of space to update pre-existing cars (and secure a spot for the VW Scirocco).

Updating pre-existing cars

The great thing about LFS is that it uses [mostly] fictional road cars. This gives the game developers almost unlimited opportunities to make many variations of an automobile, the XRG being the best contestant, sporting the modest FR-S/GT86 type of handling, up to the Porsche 944 Turbo handling of the XRT, and of course the Nurburgring-gargling XRR.

There are few cars that could use some other variations, the best example being the FZ50.

How can you have a car based off of the 911 but only one road version? Think about the 911 Carrera 2, Carrera 4, Carrera Turbo, GT3, etc.

Due to this, I recommend an additional FZ50: an all-wheel drive, turbocharged, paddleshift gearbox with huge air ducts in the rear quarter panels and a big spoiler.

http://puu.sh/38Hq0.jpg

Now, I am a fan of the RWD, manual FZ50, but a maxed-out one with AWD, turbocharging, and a paddleshift gearbox would be nice for a change. Maybe even be able to select between H-pattern and paddleshift, sort of like you can select between roof/no roof on the LX Series vehicles? (Codename: FZT)

The XF GTI... a proper fun hatchback. But where is the turbocharged version with a bunch of front-wheel drive wheelspin and some unnecessary torque steer? Perhaps a nicer body kit, that can appeal to your average 17 year old kebab shop worker who drives a Peugeot 205. (Codename: XFT)

The FXO is fun and fast, but slow cars can be fun too, just like the UF1. How about an FXO without the angry-looking head lights, without the rear spoiler (and without the rear integrated lip) and remove the turbo. Give it an underpowered 120hp flat-4 mated to 5-speed manual with revised gear ratios. Slow cars are fun! (Codename: XFO, rename normal XFO to XFT due to it being turbocharged)

The XRG and XRT could use a convertible variant. The looks of it would remind me of a Mazda RX7 FC convertible, which is not exactly a bad-looking car. (Codename: XRC, C for Cabriolet)

http://i.imgur.com/hMfe85e.jpg

I don't even like convertibles and I like this. Like the LX Series, give the options to remove the roof in the main Info menu of the car.

Final thoughts

Well there you go LFS team/community. I provided 5 ideas of cars that could make it into the game with simple engine tuning. Even the average LFS Tweak amateur would be able to pull this off. All you need is a dedicated modeler who can make simple modifications to vehicles' 3D models, which is not a hard task considering you have the original to work with.

If you don't like my car proposals, suggest your own. Remember, we moved the GTR cars to Page 2 of the vehicle selection screen, we have 8 vehicles to create. And the possibilities are unlimited: FZ5 Targa, UF1 GTI... so many combinations that the community may end up liking.

Like I said, Live for Speed is pretty damn good in the sense that it has unique vehicles, and we need to use this to our ability. We can make any variation of a car we want because we have freedom to do so. Give us a FZ50 inspired by a 996 Turbo. Give us a turbocharged XFG, inspired by a Golf GTI. Give us underpowered FXO's to use as fun-to-drive beaters.

Come on. Such a simple task with rewarding results. I truly think the community will like it.

You do know that there are countries inside the European Union that are not first world nations? To name a few second-world nations: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, etc.

Did you guys know the book titled "The Hunger Games" has approximately 20 people that die in it (many of them children), and it also takes place in Sandy Hook, Connecticut? And the author lives in the same town?

CONSPIRACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Quote from AndRand :

ie. commies have religion of "zero privacy" which they force on everybody and which is unbearable. It is time to enforce them not to or separate.

Not all Communists followed the same religion, though.

The USSR was ran by Jewish Bolshevism, although this fact is still unknown to the general public. Yeah, the Soviets had a "zero privacy" policy, but not all communist governments have it to the same degree.

On the other end of the communist spectrum, you have Yugoslavia which was a light socialist country, in which many religions were practiced: Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam. However, the leader Marshall Tito did not impose one single religious views on the general public.

In Socialist regimes like East Germany, the leaders even discouraged religion, claiming it as an "atheist state". The people in the government put the ideology of Socialism before the ideology of religion.

China has a constitution of freedom of religion, but even if it didn't, the most common religions are Buddhism and Taoism, even a small percentage of Christians (given China's population, that's still a lot of people - 4% of 1.4 billion)
