i would love to join something like this, i never raced in a series before, just do pickups on the stcc servers, but im getting ok at it now and have a gold licence

driving and weaving wont warm up the tyres to any significant level over 1 lap

why dont they just let them trailer the cars on the public road sections, that would sort it out?

brilliant, utterly brilliant yet again! Please could you let us know how best to utilise the high res skies on tracks that dont necesarily already use them, they make a huge difference.

brilliant work mate as always

what a load of rubbish this is,

the picture of his blood soaked helmet in your report is in the worst possible taste.

Ive noticed that when using my DFP in LFS, if i want to try and do a bit of left foot braking whilst simultaneously keeping some throttle applied, all that happens when you dab the brakes is that the amount of throttle applied, reduces. So you cant have both the brake and throttle depressed at the same time.

However when using the same wheel on my PS2 in Grand Turismo 4, you can press both the brake and throttle at the same time and the machine detects each pedal seperately.

How can this be, and is there a way of seperating the brake and throttle axis on a DFP when using it in LFS?

What about if you have pitted, and are unlapping yourself by overtaking the slower racers who are now technically infront again? The blue flag shows on your screen once you have retaken them and are pulling away.

what did you rename it to?

Another serious skin from me...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Perhaps because the wheel he 'copied' isn't the same as the one in your pic, and doesn't have one.

Only rally wheels have the yellow 'noob' line on it - race cars have too small a lock to need one.

noob line? Think youll find most wheels used by professional drivers have one too mate. And any car with more than one turn lock to lock benefits from one, ie any car apart from single seaters, not just rally cars.

Nice post /\/\

How funny would it have been to have had that picture as the one and only reply to the 'liar/fake' thread before it got locked?

a good effort mate. Although if it were a real car, i would laugh when it drove past

updated with a bit more repaired damage to the front, proper BTCC style Infact in the recent c'ships the teams have colour coded gaffer tape for running repairs that dont spoil the colour schemes!

Quote from Riders Motion :

Hey, what's the racist comment on the XFG_NoHitting skin

sorry, dont normally hijack, but how exactly is calling someone Canadian, racist? Firstly, last time i looked, Canada was a country, not a race. Secondly, since when has inferring that you crash into a UF1s bonnet, been intended as a insult of some kind? And thirdly, in order to insult or abuse someone, there needs to be some kind of insult or abuse, for example "All Canadians are idiots". You can't insult someone by saying "You are Canadian" If that skin said, "If you hit here-you are probably called Mark" would you expect all people called Mark to find it insulting?

Anways, back to the topic, great skins people, love the ROFL dinosaur

its incase you have a little fender bender or a stone chip on your lights that cracks them, it helps hold the glass in place and stops the bits from falling onto the track and causing mayhem. Really you should extend the tape over the bonnet and bumper to hold it all in but most people just put a cross over the lights themselves. Ive lost count of the number of light units ive cracked and chipped on track!

seems like a very good idea to me

i have to have a fairly deep sunstrip on my little track car. I have no flip down visors and because ive fitted buckets i now sit about 6" lower than the standard height. Most race cars sit the driver as low as possible to reduce the CoG and as a result have mahoosive sun strips. When on track, especially at this time of year, they are essential!

hardly a myth, it was the host of the '65 GP! http://sudschleife.8200rpm.com/index.html

Quote from pasibrzuch :

and don't really know what cones are used on tracks

because they are alot easier to repair than walls, and dont make as much of a mess of a car that slides into them

be my guest , i made three layers, a dirt layer, a shading layer (which gives the in game cars a more 'rendered' look) and a layer which has some fake damage to the front right corner of the car.

my advice is dont make too much dirt because it still 'reflects' like the paint would, so large amounts look wrong.

dirt and shading layers i have made as a seperate PSD file so it can be added to any FXO.

cheers mate,

i dont think i have the time to do many of these, they are very time consuming. I think Bean0 is going to do some more though. One of the hardest things is finding photos to work from!

Keeping up with Bean0 here, this is John Clelands 1995 BTCC Championship winning Cavalier.

The dirt and shading layers i have made as a seperate PSD file so it can be added to any FXO.

Here is the link to the dirt PSD

i love stcc, but find myself playing souly on its servers, meaning i am getting no experience in the GTR cars which i would like to be driving in company with the other stcc racers

A tribute to the late great Will Hoy, his 1991 BTCC Championship winning BMW E30 M3. Sponsored by Listerine and the fantastic 'Clifford' the dragon. These cars were what got me into motorsport, and i intend on making a few different liveries from the early-mid nineties from the BTCC. Decided to add the dirt as i really think that it adds to the realism of the game if all cars have a little bit of grime on them.
