Miss him...great player.

SRV has a very similar style to Rory.

I always thought Gallagher was more along the lines of Pat Travers.

Oh and I get this on a black screen when I try to see those videos.

That sucks!
I had to sit through Roadhouse to see him play. Speaking of dead people.... Patrick Swayze

Uhhh... Scawen, you think during the course of your up grading, you could make the exhausts and the fenders of the LXs paintable? Just a thought. I wanna do an LX skin and I thought it sure would be nice to paint those fenders. Is that something that's hard to do? If so, then don't worry about it. No one really uses those cars anyways. But if it's something you can just punch in a couple of digits to do....... Smile

Ain't hear that name in a while..... He died like 10-15 years ago, right?
I couldn't see the video.

Nice bike! It's in my favorite bike color too!
Not too many folks ride around here anymore.
The Harley set is getting old and most millenials aren't all that interested in motorcycles.

When most people think of Canada and rock bands, Rush is usually what they think of....
What about these guys?

Oh yeah? Well I'm just gonna denounce the whole lot of y'all! There.
More cars...... Always more cars. What kind of cars? I think everybody wants more cars. But the sad fact is, they make more cars, most people will still want more or they'll be cars no one uses. Like the formula V8 or the road cars. LOL the LX4 was the car that really got my attention. I think I'm like one of five people that uses it. Then there's that mini cooper car. I tried using that one once.... I fell asleep at the wheel and wrecked from the boredom, yet all sorts of folks like it. Go figure.
So wanting more cars and then getting them might not be what you were hoping for.
I dunno. Maybe I played GTA one too many times, but I'd like to see pedestrians.
LFS - something we don't talk about

Until now......
All us fan boys go on and on and on about this feature or that feature that LFS has over the other guys.
So we got better physics. I don't think that's really the best part of LFS.
Casual Racing. That's the real thing LFS has over any other title out there. The ability to just click a couple of buttons and you're in a server. Most of the other games has some sort of "ritual" you have to go through. And I think that initial thing helped set the general attitude of the players. Other racing games, I've seen people booted off just cause of a stupid mistake. Here, no one takes the game that serious.
When you do that, you've pretty much killed the fun in it and ultimately discourage people from playing.
I've seen people try to do that with LFS, but not to that degree and had more to do with racing series.
You kinda have to take that a little more serious than the average 5 lap sprint.
When LFS came out, there was another game that came out too. NASCAR 2003. I got that game....somewhere...
Before some nut case bought the rights to the game, you could get all sorts of mods for it. Well one of the reasons I never played it online was it was a hassle to initialize (especially with mods) and you couldn't just go jump into a server at will. not the mention is was full of losers that thought they were the next NASCAR God or something.
I think that the last two things I mentioned is what really killed that game more than anything else.

LOL NASCAR... used to play with a 1960's stock car on the 'ring.

Governments? BAH! Government's are for LOSERS!!!!!!!

In all seriousness though. Yeah. Domestic terrorists? That's why ISIS gave up on attacks here. They were afraid that we'd get them mixed up with some other bunch of idiots. On top of that, we're the land of recreational homicide. Terrorists just get in the way of things.

Hmmmm.... I wonder how much the rights for this song costs??????

Hi. A couple of weeks ago a drew a piece that was supposed to be a cynical joke on the state of affairs these days. Well only a few people got the joke or even realized that it was supposed to be a joke piece.
But they really got off to the knives. So now there's prototypes of these knives being made. And if all goesw well, I'll be the CEO of of a new start-up..... IF.

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :This contest is currently a work in progress.

I will be setting up my simulators at an event that would like custom skins on the cars, related to their clients and businesses. I made a few for this client last year, however while mine were acceptable, there is a LOT of room for improvement, however I do not currently have the patience to try to do better. So I am going to outsource in the hopes of getting something better.

These are the skins I made last time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUY8S21LjQg

I need 8 different Car skins, that can be easily identified from each other.

I would like to be able to tweak the colors a little if needed.
I would like to be able to slap a number on them some where, from 1-10, Ideally they should all have a uniform and matching "white box" for the number


All of the cars should have a little Cesar's pizza product mentioned... hot and ready, etc....
This is the primary focus.

Some can be a mix of Cesar's and:

Detroit Red Wings in redwings colors: RED & WHITE

Detroit Tigers in tigers colors: BLUE & ORANGE
I was going to do a car with all tiger stripes...

Detroit Pistons colors: red, white, blue




The only logos I have, are the ones out on the internet...

The car will be the same car in my video.
However, really good skins that I can use for any Virtual Raceways events on any car, that I can easily use the slider to change the color of, may result in more than 8 entries Wink





I will be the sole judge, on what I want to use or show my client.
It is possible that I wont like any of them, because I am VERY picky. lol...
It is also possible that I will like all of them, but only the 8 that best suit my needs will be
chosen. The more likely it would be a skin on a real race car the more I may like it...


Multiple Entries will be accepted, so a really good quick artist may get all 8 spots.


If I use a car for an event, I will give a prize for it.
I am expecting to give out LFS vouchers equivalent to an S1, so a demo user would need to win 3 slots to get S3. Thinking of other things to give...


How to enter, has yet to be determined... maybe to start with posting a reply for each skin with some screen shots of it, or a youtube video like I did above.


Save your master image with layers, I may want something tweaked or fixed, removed, or to add something.


I will need them before the event, about May 1st, plus or minus a few days.

LOL What you're wanting, I sorta do for a living. Only I have to deal with design firms and architects..... You know you give much better info on the initial project than what they do.
There's a lot of folks here that should be able to do this for you.

Uhhhh..... What about damaged cars? Any thought about cars turning into cyclopses? (only having one working light)
And how would this lighting effect affect the interior views of the cars in the front of the pack? LOL I bet THAT sucks to code.

Never really gave much thought about how the track temp gets affected by sunlight or lack of it. Not in a video game setting that is. That is something that should be taken into account I guess.
Do you have to dive into relative humidity and barometric pressure too? Or would that just be overkill?

You know we got three generations of people playing this damned game over here?
Y'all must be doing something right. That, or we're just too cheap to spring for a new game.

Yeah. I'm liking this "no progress report" the more I think about it.

Quote from pärtan :Relax lol. He's not calling anyone specific an idiot. He's just saying that there may or may not be idiots (griefers) who try to ruin the experience for others and thus there are safety protocols put in place to protect those who don't want their experience ruined by undefined idiots. Take what you want from it.

Uhhhh..... I was joking.

And yeah. the update is appreciated. As far as the "idiots" (I can say that. I can say that!) on starts goes?
That happened so much with the formula v8's It's probably one of the main reasons no one really puts them on servers.

Quote from Scawen :No changes in the graphics or the multiplayer system (other than those listed).

The false start spectate is for internet races, not LAN and happens when you move more than 6 metres before the light goes green. It's to stop idiots driving through ramming everyone on the grid.

Hey hey hey! You can't call us that! We're your customers. Now we can call you that all we want, but not the other way around.
WTF is wrong with you? That's not a very good business attitude dude. Yeah. you need to be politically correct. They aren't "idiots". They're ".......overly ambitious, low info consumers". Yeah. That. Call em that.

I think God's punishing me for bragging about how warm it was....
Damn! We got below freezing! In March! March! That's the month people from Canada and the Northern States come down and clog our freeways to the beach. What really sucks about that is this year the freeway I have to take is also a complete under construction cluster #@!!
I was thinking... What we ought to do with measuring temperature.
What we ought to do is when describing how hot it is, use Celsius units.
When describing how cold it is, use Fahrenheit.
See that way it won't seem as hot or as cold to us. Think about it.
-2 celsius sounds a lot colder than what 30 degrees fahrenheit does.
and 30C sounds a lot more comfortable than 90F.
We should do that with weight too.
Like if you wanted somebody lazy to move something heavy at work. You could say,"Nah dude it only weighs 50". I don't think they'd be so willing to move something that weighed in at 120# Or you can go the other way and say, "I'm on this new diet and I've lost 50 lb.s in three weeks!".
That's way more impressive than just losing 23.
