Quote from JasonJ :

Here is an FZ5 version:


But I think the rear cover is too short and doesnt line up with B Pillar. So I did another version.
(named FZ5_TargaALPHA longer.zip attached)

Here is an XRT version:


To make an XRG, rename the file XRT_TargaALPHA.dds to XRG_TargaALPHA.dds

Unfortunately the effect produces side-effects from some angles. The large the sunroof, the larger the problem.




The skins had to be 2048x2048 so the curves didn't look bad. Unzip these atttachments to your skins_dds folder and choose the skin from the colour setup screen.

Hey Really THANKS!!! for the Targas , they are cool, that bug doesnt matter, even like that they are very cool, really Thanks men !!!!!!.

Well sorry for Bump, but have to say that those sunroofs are a way COOL! , btw is sad that they bug the car shadows, but well it stills cool even like that! .

Have a request: i dont have a clue how to do something like that, i have photoshop cs3 in my PC, but dont know how to use it, so i wanna know if you (JasonJ) can make some kind of Targa Top, Porsche A-like, for XRG and XRT? In advance Thanks, but only do they if you wanna do they.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well have to say that the interiors ARE Matching the outside, and the XR Series interior is based in the Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT here in America).

Writting this i remebered something: have you noticied that the RB4 Interior is the same as the Hyundai Accent 95-99 one? look one inside, is a Replica .

Adolfo Herrera.

some reasons:

you know you´ve played too much Lfs when: you are in road, you see some nice place without any house or anything on it, just trees, and you start thinking on make a real Blackwood circuit on it (xD).

you know you´ve played too much Lfs when: you try to look for the Shift+a combo when you want make your IRL car sound better.

you know you´ve played too much Lfs when: you look in the Oil pressure gauge thinking that it will show your fps.

Adolfo Herrera.

Maybe if you want run Lfs with some good fps, do like me: look for some (in good conditions) used AGP videocards (if your CPU can handle one) i bought my cousin´s ATI Radeon 9250, in something like 74$, with 128 Mb DDR, it runs LFS 0.5Z (without touching the default graphics sets) very well at 1024x768 Res and 32 bit color, it goes in 30-48 fps all the time, but in a big start grid (something like 15 cars in front of you) it runs at 15-16 fps, then it goes normal again, is a good card, and with 512 mb of ram it runs ok, just like above, and plus, is a cheap card, so if you are saving for a car, is a good option.

Adolfo Herrera.

It could be good if LFS got an Sport sedan, something like a Holden HSV (http://www.flickr.com/photos/celsydney/2702683723/), a sport sedan with a 4.0 or bigger V8 on it, 420-430 Hp, some sport body, with spoilers and stuff, and a Manual transmission, like the pic one, not tuning ones, and 1400-1430 Kg. Maybe it can go aganist the Fz5, and why not? anotther car for LFS and a v8 car, thats two birds in one shoot; well it could be better if devs make too (and if they want i can help as much as they want) a GTR Version, that one could be a DTM a-like car, some 505-520 HP and 1220-1260 Kg, with a sequential Gearbox, that car will Rock!! Please devs if you are reading this, at leats considerate this, Please.

Quote from LFSn00b :

NVM, i thought he wanted non-reflective wheels(matte) which allows you to glitch them and make them look really bright.

Well my suggestion is NOT for make some neon wheels, i hate they, what i mean is an option to make some parts of the wheel reflective or unreflective, example: the spokes, some real wheel desings are like that.

Adolfo Herrera.

Quote from pacesetter :

Sorry for being O/T yesterday, but do they actually race these cars in Automatic??

Well no, i think they are sequential, they are some like the german DTM Cars, but with a V6 on it.

Adolfo Herrera.

That´s a problem with usa: that Contry is USA!! not america, they think that USA is the whole America continent, but is a country, and of course, Argentina is part of south america, south america is part of America.

And with the Chevrolet cars, no, we have manual ones too, is just the same car, but with annother name: Example: the Daewoo Lacetti, here is the Chevrolet Optra.

Adolfo Herrera.

:iagree:, and an option to CHROME/UNCHROME (reflections i mean) would be nice too, for the wheel spokes, that will be Full wheel customisation .

Aolfo Herrera.

First Sry for bumping this Thread, but i have the same question about a skin i did for the Lx6, tell me, i will be banned/Kicked for this skin?.

And i have to say that i´m scared right now.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well maybe is good in some way, it was a really player magnet server, so now they are in the Redline racing server 8, but the hacker is in TC Driving????? oh no, sometimes i play i that server and i like it too, D*mn Hackers, they are like bugs, lets find some anti-hackers around there .

Quote from cathal50cc :

i like these but can i plz put i few logo's on it i no u said plz dont edit but most street racing cars have logos like sparco apexi etc.....

Well if you want, do it, BUT, Dont relase they here plz, keep they private.

Adolfo Herrera.

Its like a transparent signature, your flames Do have they, those strange golden lines above the flames are the Watermark.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well they are saying that it will be in october 6th, Victor Has said that it is only a rumour, and now is a lie? i have only one word for this: WAIT.

Just wait people, we only will have the true from Scawen, just wait for what he will do about this.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well all that with the Xrt lights is true, maybe make they like the XRR ones, or normal working lights (240Sx alike) of course, if they can go up like the real ones, simply make they work, as soon as possible .

And if you like the skin, here it is, but in 1024, i dont have a 2048 one :/.

Adolfo Herrera.

Pd: Mirtsu: nice flame desing , long with nice curves, i like it .

Well, here is my new Skin, my Xrt "The Judge" edition, The American version of the Xrt ( ), here is the pic, finally i learn a bit of using Photoshop, so i edited the pic to make it look like a real camera photo, tell me what you think and if you like it i will upload the skin.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well again here, as i can see there´s nothing to do with this, cause the wheel is fine, the problem is LFS ( ) im writting this cause i found something:

i downloaded DxTweak2 for know the exactly data comming from my momo, but when i tryed again Lfs, i found a bug:

look at the 1st Pic i uploaded, as you can see Dx tweak calculates the wheel position with a number from 0 to 1024, when 512 should be the center, and when you center you wheel it should be in 512, but if you try Lfs windowed and moving DxTweak´s window to a position that you can see it when you activate the Lfs window, without moving your wheel look at the center number, it will reduce or maybe be bigger, but if you activate the DxTweak window again, you can see that it will be back to 512 :S, i tryed this with different versions of Lfs and it only happens with the current version (0.5Z) so if a depelover is reading this, there´s annother bug to solve, plz if you can take it to normal again in some test patch, plz do it.

Adolfo Herrera.

Well i did a complete investigation to this problem and i think i find the fix:

First Do the profiler thing explained in my other post in this tread, but dont set it to 2%, set it to 3%, now go to your LFS folder (0.5Z), open cfg.txt file and search this line:

Speed Steer Reduction KB 1.00
Half Reduce Speed m/s KB 50.00

The "Speed Steer Reduction" seems to be a limitation to the turning speed readed in the game, set it to 0.00, it should look like this:

Speed Steer Reduction KB 0.00
Half Reduce Speed m/s KB 50.00

Try this, my momo seems to steer well now, maybe G25 and DFP will do too with this, Just Try!! .

Well yesterday My new momo has been delivered in my home, and after testing it i found the exactly problem, but i think i fixed it doing this: after calibrating the wheel in lfs, open profiler and go to the wheel option and open properties, set the "reaction point to 2%", after that when you are turning the wheel for go straight again, when the wheel is in 1-3º or a little bit turned the lfs ingame wheel will go straight again, that worked for me in the momo (black one) i dont know about G25 but try, maybe this is the solution .

They are 3 skins in each rar file, .JPG, 1024 and 2048 res, for XFG, XRT and FXO (you take an XFG skin and you recieve XRT and FXO too ).

Like 8 hours of work:tired:, Already uploaded in LFSW, Really Hope you like it, and Please give me your opinion:thumb3d:.

Pd: PLEASE NEVER EDIT THESE ONES PLZ!

Adolfo Herrera.

Well a new thread for 2 new skins, at this time these are my best skins ever, for XRT and FXO, they are based in the car of a guy from my district, the real car is an Opel Corsa, and it looks exactly like these ones (even the sticker in the rear) so maybe in some days i will make an XFG one, because is a 3-door car just like the real one.

They are in 2048 and in DDS format, in the zip i uploaded in this post, so dont worry about Virus or anything, it is Virus free.

Uploaded in LFSW.
