And Abarth has slicks, getting quite fond of that little guy

Something else I haven't looked at LOL

Quote from Boris Lozac :

We need one of those in AC, some race prepped hot hatches..

Fiesta and Mazda MX5 are on the way, in the AC Forums, but yeah, give the Abarath some slicks LOL

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I think i never watched BTCC live, just tuned up to some stream, i see bunch of Clio's, guessing that's not it? There's more races in a day or what?

But this was so excite, much adrenaline!

Its on all day Boris, the Clio's is just one of the support races. 2nd race of touring cars on shortly.

It started at 11:15am and finishes at 5:40pm UK Time. Its just brillient, as they show the whole day.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

There was an advise somewhere that you lock the fps to the minimum your fps goes, so for example your fps never goes below 80 but only above, then you should lock it to that..
Since Snoopy released the Nord those numbers went below that, it dippes below 60 on the Nord on my machine.. so i started locking it to 54, works well for other tracks too, don't see any major difference then when i had it locked to 89.
It looks smoother then having your fps jump from 60 to 120 all the time..

Thanks for this, will give it a go. Watching BTCC at the moment, looking forward to the Super Touring return race at 4:15 John Cleland comes back for a race

Fordie

Anybody watching the BTCC Live on ITV4. There is a special Super Touring Race at 4:15 UK Time, with the old Vectra and Mondeo as well as others on tracks, with John Cleland returning

You don't have to quote the pictures every time Fordie

It improves it, but i drive with locked 54 fps, and it's too damn good looking to have it disabled..

Yeah sorry about that, I didn't see the pictures load before I replied LOL

I will give it a try. Locked at 54fps....any reason why?

Cheers

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Or the first one is very dark and smudgy, so the 2nd one seems exposed? I don't know, that is more how reality looks to me then the default graphics..
It's better when you tone down the HDR a bit in the game with Page Down buttons, but it's so damn annoying to do it every time, i'm searching for .INI file with those settings but it doesn't seem to be possible..

I love the Mclaren's back side, never even drove it till yesterday, also digging that 'click' shifting sound, reminds me of my Momo

I have disabled HDR as this improves FPS, well that's what I read

Fordie

Anybody have profile settings for a G27?

Cheers

You're not joking?

@ Fordie

Sure, made one more adjustment. Really happy with the result now.

So, just install (copy) SweetFx to AC's root folder, and replace this .TXT file with the default one.
HDR On and color saturation to 65%.
Everything else is stock.

You can alter beatween default graphics and SFX with Scroll Lock button.

Is it the 2nd picture with SweetFX? It looks to over exposed? And how do you have an F1 in AC???

I have been pointed to a couple of tracks that are, so I have been told well worth the download. I will be hosting these on my skydrive as well as my hosted server. These are not posted on RD or AC forums. I don't know who did them, so I cannot give credit, nor do I know which game they came from....

Bathurst, Zolder, Brands Hatch ( not the bumpy one from RD )

I will post the links shortly, when the upload is done, if anybody is interested

Fordie

Anybody fancy a bit of Bathurst tonight

Fordie

Anybody hosting a server tonight?? I can, but no Free Join yet, still having Technical issue's with the Admin Console.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Think i've found a sweet spot regarding sweetFx and .ini files..

Made comparison beatween default graphics and those settings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be5WbNJfioA

And here's how it really looks in the game cause capture and editing always messes the colors a bit.

OK you have found a sweet spot, would you care to share

Quote from Racer Y :

LOL I forget that there is a Surf scene in the UK.
Here in Texas, the only time surf is any good is when there is a hurricane out in the Gulf. I met these guys that would go out into the shipping lanes and wake surf off the waves from the freighters. Me? Never tried surfing. Skateboarded until I broke my leg in a bike wreck, Parasailed... Kayaking... but no surfing

Surfing is hugh here, shame the waves are LOL

Why you keep writing that signature "Fordie"?

Thanks luchian I just look at it as a polite sign off, but yeah, it is now just habit and I do it without thinking now.

They are just mental, but looking for the ultimate rush...If you see the webcam, it actually warns you not to surf this unless you are a semi professional

Fordie

i am surprised the aussie's havent jumped on this thread lol

hopefully my server will have free join enabled shortly, just a problem with the admin console.

Fordie

Sorry chaps, the server is still running, but I have better things to do that waste 10mins on a poxy booking system, and I know you all have as well.

I am going to investigate this Free Join on a dedicated server and see where I get from there, as all this waiting around is just ridiculous
