what happened to skin file preview?
now there is only small thumb, which is useless
how can i decide if i like skin when im unable to see it :/ (preview image is usually a render, which looks cool even with crappy skin)

now i have to download every new skin, open it with some image viewer, and usually delete it, cause its not as good as i expected

pls restore skin preview feature, thx

Quote from LFSn00b :

Bump, anyone kind to host a server?

how?
ive created one, but its not visible to others (but U can see it on LFSW :/)
i have a public IP and i also did test with demo server, which worked fine
using H6

i think there should be descending sorting by default
now i have to click "sort by date" to see whats new

U could also make navigation more friendly:
1. im on skins list. clicking skin "watch it"
2. other skins dissapeared, but still cant see skin file, only preview which i already saw on the list (?!)
3. ok, so i click "down/preview", now its ok
4. im voting
5. im done and want to go back to skins list, so im pressing browsers "previous page" button
5a. uu nice, i can vote again but hmm, i did it already, i want to see skins list, "prev btn" again
5b. skin file preview, "prev btn" again
5c. skin page with no preview, arghhh, "prev btn"
6. hurra! im on skins list, finally

pls correct that, its really annoying

I´ve tried it for 1 minute and it worked. Try it, it should work right now.

sorry, doesnt work, U still have some script bug

deleting doesnt work for me, but i may type wrong password (i uploaded few times, and i had it "remembered", now im not sure what it was)
so pls delete skin 45, it was just a test

BTW U should check point 10 "Accept terms when you agree" earlier.
when i forget to mark it, im not informed just after submiting, upload proceeds instaid
thats useless bandwidth (uploading twice)

edit:
same happens when i forget to add preview pic

its not a problem to delete and upload again, so simple delete button will be enough (at least for now)

how can i edit/delete skin?
there is password when uploading, but where do i put it?

i've uploaded skin, and image is corrupted, want to correct it

Quote from janwolf :

For example if you are selecting the wrong skin in Browseoption

yes, but one must be really tired to browse completly different car
more possible is to select same car, but wrong skin, and then Your validation fails

i think better idea would be to show user what he uploaded and then let him accept/correct

Quote from janwolf :

@wheeler: What do you mean with batch?

i think He meant posibility to upload few files at once

Quote from janwolf :

I need a answer for:
Are the Thumbails too big for a good overview??
I don´t think so but when everyone is saying that, i will change it soon.

its ok for me, but if U have spare time U can add switch "small/big" thumbnails

one more thing. there is "1. Please select your Skin type by vehicle" option when uploading.
what for? cant U get car type from file name?

Quote from janwolf :

Only a information When you have firefox you can use right mouse and select Show Image. Tada there is the skin on the server on real size

thats why U should have two buttons
download and view (which is also needed, cause sometimes skins look good only on render )

i think there also should be sorting by popularity (downloads count), cause user rating sometimes lacks

and maybe some info if skin is available for other cars? (skinpacks)

ps. let me know if U have problems with "save as" dialog for jpg files, i have that working on my site

Pink power gru?

ye, sup Mate
sent Ya PM

any minimum age limit? my son is 6, and going one direction is to much for him

ok i know FF is supposed to simulate real action, but i think i may not like way it does it, right?

yes, it won't help when "pushing" to much, but in normal racing with small oversteer FF is doing my job more than good
i agree it may be helpfull, but i wish it could be turned on/off like with keyboard steer
since Microsoft has no drivers for XP im stuck (i have gameport version, built-in driver has calibration options only, no FF support)

jankes, i had exactly same feeling when changed from mouse to wheel, it was like "steering help ON".
ok, i belive that real car would countersteer, but exactly like U i found LFS doing it "to perfect",
i can release wheel and FF will do job for me

Quote from AndroidXP :

On the contrary, Center Spring and Damper are driver generated effects and WILL (negatively) influence the FF LFS calculates. These MUST be turned OFF to get the FF as it is intended by LFS.

thx for that reply Android
i was really confused reading all these posts (here and on polish forum where i asked) telling that "its ok, FF in LFS is exactly as in real, Ur wrong etc..."

to bad my MS FF drivers dont have such options, i can only turn off FF to get "real" driving

p.s. sorry for my eng
