Quote from kyler :

can some one do mine again???

It won't come out any better since the quality is low in the original anyway.

@efast - yes I'm in both teams. Normally I'm XFR, OzSport is only my team for the AAL.

If youwatch the video I made you'l see I'm using max8 and nothing has changed since. Only my methods are a bit changed from the wiki wirtten tuorial but everything else is basically the same. I've also used max7 and max9 and there is no difference between the three when doing these steps.

I usually just see the best (worst) ones on youtube after it's over

Jak you have big lips and are very pale. You should get out more :P

Looks like you got it. The balls are materials btw.

Look for the "P1 P2 P3 Reset" buttons under render options. Hit P3 for some nice AA

OK so you're upto the glass step? In the video tutorial I just go ahead and modify ID 18 directly instead of making a new material and then dropping it onto material ID 18.

If you made a new material then you drag the little ball onto the material slot for ID number 18 in the main multi/sub object. If you don't know how to do this then just modify material ID 18 directly, it's much simpler that way.

I'm dying to see a finished car

Not sure what you mean by drop into material. What section of the turorial is this at and what are you trying to accomplish?

That's very strange. Where did you download them from? Where they actual max files or 3ds? I'm wondering if someone is trying to maybe pass off Ian and Morrows scenes as their own without including the tga files.

You need to add the pacth to the tga files you extracted from the zips of the scenes. These usually go into [maxfolder]\images\lfs. SO in max, just goto

Customize->Configure user paths..

and add the directory with the tga files. Then max will know where to look for them and won't nag you for them anymore

So what exactly are you moaning about? I thought this was about the analog speedo not being visible enough.

If you want precision in your speed then use the digital speedo, that's what it's there for.

I was so worried. Thank god you're ok.

Physics aren't anything special. Arcade style with some tweaks I would put it. Bouncing off walls slows you down. Once you start sliding you just spin in a bunch of smoke. But even so its extremely fun to blast around. I haven't unlcoked the harcore mode yet apparently that changes things even more than turning everything off.

Yeah the 7series don't do AA and HDR., but I'd rather HDR than AA. ATi will do both though.

I've been in a situation where the blue flag has been shown for more than 2 sectors because the person lapping couldn't catch up. This would onyl work on a server where as soon as blue flag is displayed the person being lapped HAS TO yield no matter what. Would royally suck.

"Damn noobs wrecked me on turn 1!!"

Awesome stuff guys.

As jak said this feature is not yet implemented.

Sweet, got your name in the credits Great work.

Yeah paint materials make a huge difference, but usually you're applying a skin to the lfs cars. There are some awesome car paint materials for vray, but I haven't found any for brazil. You'd probably be looking at a shellac. The key to hdri's is to have a nice background that will match the hdri image. It won't look very real having a hdri on a white background.

It would definately help with the theory behind everything if you actually know about car dynamics instead of just playing the game. LFs has taught me about racing lines and how the car behaves that I can now use when I go karting.

Still very fake/studio like. If you want realistic looking lighting I suggest looking into HDRI lighting.

I prefer to drive my real car with a keyboard too. Can't wait till they release a car with mouse steer.

Veyr strange. Lookign at the race details you can see the guy that finished 3rd was 3 laps down and had a drive through penalty. Maybe he crossed the finish line before you and that's how it registered. Stil, it's displaying it wrong.

Lapper is an unofficial addon to lfs. It doesn't use LFSWorld.

Thanks for the quick fix
