There it is.

Hmm, it's working here..

Quote from Kid222 :

Oh damn you! I wanted to make onboard from your car! Next time i'll be faster.
Btw can you upload it somewhere else? On megaupload i have all slots permanently full.

Do you know another site? Rapidshare is limited to 100 MB.

But you may still make an onboard!

A few days ago I posted the replay of a brilliant race in a "your favourite battles" thread. Well, I thought that everyone with W17/W10 should see it too... So here it is, about 161 MB big, and 9 minutes long. I added some minimal soundscape music at the beginning and the end.

It's not really that much editted. I just recorded the race with the default camera's and the sound later. Sorry for the little clicks there are sometimes.

Here it is, couldn't host it myself so I uploaded it to megaupload:

Quote from Madman_CZ :

Nice edits Darktone, I quite like the first image but what would make the image even better if you added thunder clouds to the left side, that area is quite dark and it kinda shows like there's a storm sweeping in over Blackwood, with some lighting and distant rain it would look cool.

Now a noobish question, how do you edit the camera like that? camera hack? is there on released for patch W, I was thinking of doing some scenery shots with different weather but with the default shit + u its rather ermm limited lol..

cheers

I think you're right, but I'm not that good in painting.. But if you want, I won't stop you.

And what Don said.

Got a few more btw, I know it's not original, but I don't have inspiration.

No way the FO8 needs TC. That would ruïn the best car of the game..

*Kick*

Ok, I know this topic is very old, but..

This week I finally got to drive LFS a bit again, doing the Aston Club / FOX combo. And today Csimpok joined. And we had fun!

I've picked what I think was the best race, to show to you. I didn't even know it would be possible to go into the chicane side by side tree times, and still surviving it. I think from the 5 races, Csimpok and I weren't even crashed once. We had some very fun fights, and I think everyone, especially demo users should watch this.

Have fun!

PS. I attached some thumbnails to give you an image.

Yes, I think I can handle better graphics. But yesterday I just optimised the settings so I won't get under 30 FPS at a 20 people big grid. With AA still on.

Quote from Woz :

All this boils down to is that some people that understand racing rules and those that do not. When the person that has no grasp of racing rules is also a fast driver then that is where you get the issues because they dont appear to feel they have to slow for anything. So if your corner speed is slower than theirs they just ram you.

Well, I must say, I have that problem now and then. But most of the time I simply do not have the time to get on the brakes. So my first reaction is to steer away, but that still ends up in the side of the backmarker, or in his butt. Or I simple end up near the track.

Usually I slow down a bit when there's a faster guy coming to lap me. Mostly I try to drive as fast as I can to a straight and immidiatly pick the inside line there. By the time you've reached the end of the straight the faster driver will have past me and I get back on the racing line before the braking zone so I don't lose much time at all.
Or when I see I'm not fast enough to make it to the straight, I'll let the fasterguy trough by taking a turn wide.

You don't lose much time this way, and the other drivers will appreciate it.

But when I'm the faster driver, it usually surprises me how fast some backmarkers are coming up, and it clearly surprises them too, the don't know what to do and end up blocking half the track. I think that's a problem too, that the difference in level is just too high. Some people have never driven LFS before and also drive with keys, and others drive it too much..

Just two simple edits. Noting too spectaculair.

I think the smoke is ok in LFS. But I do want to say that I really loved the smoke in Papyrus' NASCAR.

Wait wait wait wait..

If BMW has a deal with the Nurburgring and LFS got a deal with BMW.... Nahhh..

Two more from me. I tested out something I saw earlier in this, so it's not really original. Thanks to pdanev for learning me some fiter-usage.

Originals are 1280 * 960 pix.

When I miss my braking point, I always steer directly to the apex. That way you will have more tarmac.

But I usually don't miss it.

is that skin available for download?

The Ferrari skin is:

Some pics of me in a Ferrari F1.

Feel free to edit.

Shame I had the compression option on at the first picture, but I'm quite satisfied.

Sorry, just had to.. :P

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Its not only when your tyres get hot, you can also get a flat from having too much tyre wear. Trust me I know because I crashed out of 3rd place in a 60 lap GP after starting last and crashing on lap 1...had to do 59 laps on R2s and they let go on the last lap

Hehe. :P

I ruined the first LFS GT endurance race with Csimpok by staying out 1 lap too long. My tyre blew and I spun in the last chicane on Aston Historic and got stuck. We became 3rd instead of 1st.. :P

Quite like this one myself.
Too much motionblur, but I didn't make it to be realistic, I made it to be spectacular.

Quote from Tomas Stiborek :

you use too much circular blur on wheels... or too little motion blur on background

Hmm.. Maybe. But remember the sides of the wheels are going like.. Three times faster than the car itself or so.

Quote from BSP :

Cool one!!!
But try to use this skin I made:

Erm, what's wrong with this one?

Although it's a bit small.

Quote from jamesgp2viper :

There's absolutely no point in holding up a car trying to lap you. The longer you hold a faster car behind you, the more time you lose yourself.

Agree. But the point is, that in LFS, the slower drivers are so unpredictable.. That's why I usually send a blue flag message very soon. So they have tons of time to find a decent place to let me pass.

And I found out that the slower drivers usually can't really estimate how long it will take for that faster driver approach..

Then why is it F1 drivers get a drive-trought penalty if they not go off the line to let faster drivers pass? The slower driver must imo be the one to go off the gas.. Especially if they have just joined the server. Imo you don't have much rights when you just join a server when a race is already going on.

Rhymez, I agree with Dajmin, if you can't take criticism you're definitely looking into the wrong business.

i'm a musician myself too, got an experience of about 6 years now, and this year I got my first release. My first tracks were totally crap. And people always seem to find 100 things that were wrong. But you have to learn it too. People aren't always right, but they can push you in a direction.

Of course you think; well but I don't want to make the same stuff as every one else. True, but, to break the rules you need to know them first. First you need to learn the basics. Don't try to re-invent the wheel.
