I really enjoy these. Keep doing them.

Quote from DavidSS :

anyone able to add effects for this shot?

It's fairly subtle, but here you go.

Thanks for the replies.

Spangler_CZE - It's more a question if file size tather than Hardware. I have a much higher quality version, but it will cost ya 100000000 bytes
GruntOfAction - Will do in a few hours. Keep an eye on post #1
Bob - Yeah I skimped out badly on the audio quality which I regret. I reckon the UF1 in the vid would have rolled if it was LH drive. The song is 'Gabrielle' by Ween and yes, it reeks of Thin Lizzy, intentionally I think.

Quote from Bob Smith :

What physics changes? The only thing that has been added since the last update of that pack is clutch pack pre-load.

Well I suppose I should download the latest versions then. I think I still have the originals.
@Spangler_CZE: I'm uploading to another host now. I'll edit original post when done.

Quick slow-mo (0.5 speed) movie of some driving using Bob's famous 'Road Going' sets (which don't work too well since the physics changes, but are still nice and bouncy for slow-mo movies )

Good job. The presentation was excellent.
Can't wait till they animate the driver changing gears.

Quote from Darkone55 :

But you get on the throttle too fast, too early every corner.

Yeah, intentionally to try and make the movie a bit more exciting.
It was supposed to be a 'spectacular' lap as opposed to a fast one, thus the Clarkson style driving.

Hehe. I had a website hosted once that was there for a year after I cancelled my account. We'll wait and see how inefficient your mob are.

A movie of a lap of AS North Rev in the notorious RAC.
Great fun if you don't mind entering corners with chronic understeer and exiting with snap oversteer.

**Please note that this is just a movie of a car going around a track. There is no emotional story-line or odd anime music. Just footage of a car and the sounds it makes.
If this is not your thing, then it might not be worth your while to download.

Result for me is rubbish since my stats were reset.
I've done many, many thousands of laps, and am not a forum whore like most people towards the bottom of the list (except scawen and victor).

Quote from The Very End :

would they be hard to handle, due to very long brake distance, and that it would handle like a pig :P

Sounds like an 1970s American or Aussie V8. Bring it on!
LFS would do such a car really well.

Quote from sil3ntwar :

stick in some dirty words its bloody hilarious...

The C-Word is by Frenzal Rhomb.

Quote from Travis Rowe01 :

I think that some people with S2 should get together and recreate some secens that are in F&F tokyo drift a use the track south city i think its called. ( well this is just a thought and please dont say something if it is not positive just keep it to your self please).

Actually, I think that recreating the opening scene of Apocalypse Now! (where Martin Sheen is bleeding and crying in the shower) would be far more entertaining and realistic.

'Hello'
An obvious one, but still funny.
I'm gonna be on here for a while...

Haha! Type in this:

"there's a lady who knows
all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven"

Note the output for 'gold' and 'buying'

Quote from pine-fin :

Heh.. maybe nothing new from developers, but I find new stuff on the forums almost every week.

- new engine sounds
- good setups
- graphic upgrades
- mods
etc.

My 'new' xrt engine gives me the heebiejeebies with its raw roaring

Good post! Community contributions are an important part of the LFS experience.

Yes, I would like to see updates faster, but at the same time I love the fact that these blokes do things properly.

Winzip / Unrar etc.
Google will find many for you. And what's this got to do with LFS?

Quote from dhinchin :

Is the giant squid restrained in some manner? I am concerned it may attack the bear.

The squid would need to get passed either the snipers on the castle or the hammers to get to the bear anyway. UNLIKELY!

Even if the squid did make it to the bear pit and attack , who do you think would win presuming the battle was on dry land? A marine cephalopod or a 10 foot grizzly.

Please think things through before making stupid posts.

Bah - I was playing cricket all day, so missed the race (although I got 4/12, so I'm not too unhappy )

From all reports, it looked like classic Bathurst; lots of drama and a bit of rain thrown in for good measure.

Winterbottom's frightening ride through the sand trap looked um, frightening.

Congrats to Lowndsie and Whincup on their second in a row.

All the games I've ever seen (besides LFS) have just had a bunch of bits fall off the structure of the car. I've never seen crash physics where stuff gets bent how it does in real life.

Obviously LFS has a long way to go with it's damage model, but I reckon it's going down the right path.

... then Webber says f**k in the interview afterwards.
Damn he's an unlucky bastard though...

Wow - this thread refuses to die!

Awesome - downloading now.

And it appears that there are now rockets!

Hilarious.

How about this one too:

The lucky bastard's only injury was a cut finger, and it barely required a band-aid.

Alright then, have a go at this one.
Great battle for the lead here on the last lap between [AKR].MAM. and ~AR~Slow069.
