lol very good

I think this mod is great, thanks for bringing it to our attention . Whilst this effect may not be 100% realistic, I think what bloom does well is take the cartoony edge off the graphics, the changing contrast really helps, kind of like basic HDR. Also it does a good job of simulating atmospheric hazing.

Dunno if its been mentioned already but this also works very well in LockOn and IL2(if you use DX renderer not OpenGL). I still have to try it in CNC Generals

Hey, heres a funny thing. Over at the Lockon Forums they also have a "Bloom" thread going, its scarily similar to this one . Hell, they even have their own Tristan

1.BTCC
2.V8 super cars

4.DTM - I wish Motors coverage was better, they should take some notes from the Ausi V8s

lol, they are surprisingly stable

Well, I thought it was funny, and in these modern times, VERY relevant!

Can you imagine what would happen if this scenario REALLY came to pass?

Rofl, excellent episode, thanks

Ectoplasm

I always have winamp running in the background.

When Motörhead comes on I either get a new PB or put it in the kitty litter

:bannana_g

Heh heh yeah great game. Carnage in the bus with full traffic was fun

My friends jokingly used to call it "No textures Madness"

I remember we used to think how sweet it would be If you could mix it with GTA1/2 and be able to get out of the car and run around in FULL 3D !!

Slightly OT, But I was watching round 3/ race 2 of the V8 super cars at Hamilton, New Zealand. During the race one of the commentators mentioned that James Courtney's / Stone Brothers racing team manager was Alan Gow. (sp?)

Is that the same Alan Gow that is in charge of the BTCC?

If it is, that must be one busy man

Quote from AndroidXP :

Geez, that's awful. I mean both how the cars look and how poorly they seem to handle

what? they ooze cool

:gandalf: :gt:zztop FTW

Nice vid thanks. Those things look scary

whats the blue strobing light on the dash? looks about the size of a speedo'?

Anyone interested should check out the new version, lots of new stuff including:

Mono rail

Jawa Sand Crawler (really well done) :jedi:


Mig 25 (oooh Yes!!)

Looking forward to this, its great when all the seasons start again .

i hope some one other than Neal or Plato win, would be cool if Jackson won

Didn't realize V8 super cars and WTCC had already started, I have to catch up on them

Sweet, now with FSAA in game options, thanks. Ill try this out and report back any probs

really enjoying this series, as I have all the Lost series'. I was never too bothered about the stuff not being answered. I like the interesting stories and guessing myself what might happen. The recent Desmond episode was really good though. The first almost self contained and some-what resolved Lost episode.
The new characters introduced this season are also very good. Daniel, the chopper pilot, etc

is this going to be the last series though?

I only watched my 1 st dtm season last year, was quite good. looking forward to this years season. I was wondering though, how come there's only 2 manufacturers? What about BMW. Has it always been just Audi and AMG?

Buzzcocks was better with him, but the new guy ain't so bad I guess, but he's no Lamarr

yeah, come to think of it, the first vid I saw of an "under tray" camera was from the V8's, thats such a cool shot.

Quote from Widdowmaker :

Im waiting for and have been for some time - the new Elite - some of you may know it as Frontier or Frontier Elite.

http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/

Probably the first space trader "sim" out there back in the days of the Acorn Electron and BBCB, when pc's were black and white or Green and White Screens.

Elite as it is now is in development for a modern release - somewhere- but there is on going legal wrangling between the origional writers.

Arma 2 is another I am waiting for.

yeah Elite, I forgot about that one. I used to play frontier on the Amiga, nothing has even come close in modern times. Imagine how cool it could be with todays technology. I played Freelancer for a while but it wasn't nearly as open ended.

Aside from LFS, Im really looking forward to Black Shark, a hyper realistic Russian helicopter gunship simulator based on the KA50

other than that I guess GTA4 would have to be up there and Armed Assault 2.

Hi there mate, welcome aboard. Hope your enjoying LFS

Wow great vids, thanks farcar. That first video is amazing, Peter Brock surely is a legend, Ive seen people on Sunday drives less relaxed

Quote from Gunn :

At Bathurst, over the years, it was very common for the commentators to talk to the drivers during the action. They disrupted the flow of a driver's race many times. Sometimes drivers just ignore them and don't answer. Peter Brock used to talk to them almost every time, but that's how he was.

AFAIK the in-car commentaries were pioneered by Australia's Channel 7 in the 1970's, who also pioneered in-car camera technology now commonly used all around the world by networks covering motor racing.

Interesting cheers. I guess the TV guys cant really be blamed as the drivers know they may be talked to mid race if they have given permission to the network. Even still, I find it quite uncomfortable to watch

I got a book called Chicken Hawk for Christmas about Huey pilots in Vietnam. Excellent read so far, would recommend to anyone interested in helicopters/the Vietnam conflict.

I was watching the 1996 V8 Super Cars Bathurst AMP 1000 and was shocked when all of sudden one of the commentators started to talk to 3rd place man Wayne Gardner in his Coca Cola Commodore. Sure enough at the next corner, whilst being asked a question, he braked too late and ran wide onto the grass. I know they have to get the drivers permission for this sort of thing but I was still really amazed that they would talk to him mid race, I have never seen this before. Even these days when the commentators talk to the drivers during a safety car period they seem flustered and like they would really rather not be talking, usually I feel bad for them and want the commentator to shut up . I was wondering had anyone else ever seen this kind of thing before / what your thoughts where? I guess thats why they don't talk to drivers under green flag conditions anymore in the Aussie V8s.
