I can hardly believe that you just bumped a five month old thread just to make a troll post.
People render usually with proper 3D-authoring software like 3D Studio Max, for example. There are a miriad of different ways you can effect the reflection including the materials you use on your model and the lighting/shading parameters etc, and that's really only scratching the surface of what is possible.

+1 to lollipop man, pit crews, designated pit boxes & optional team allocations for individual pit boxes & customizable signage over each.
Not sure why you are making an argument out of my post, I don't disagree with most of what you are saying and I'm not arguing against any of your points. Some of the things you have said in reply to my post seem to indicate that you have missed my point entirely. But that's OK.
Everyone can continue with their little whinge now.
I am?
Nobody drives around curbs in real life, they cross them, bounce off them and use them to help cornering. Hitting curbs is not cutting. The curbs are a part of the track, they are not out of bounds.
No, it isn't stupid to refuse to make an illegal move that would get you disqualified or penalised in real racing.
Not sure what point you are trying to make here.
There's nothing really wrong at all with any chicane in LFS, and some people also seem to think that esses is the same as a chicane. The problem in LFS seems to be the stupid way many people drive the tracks, not the tracks themselves. Furthermore, if you race with decent people there is no cutting at all going on. Just because people choose to drive it like an arcade game doesn't mean the chicanes necessarily need redesigning. What would be more realistic and more beneficial to the sim is if there was more of a negative effect from cutting, and certainly no advantage to be gained from doing so. In real racing they have marshals and stewards to penalise for bad behaviour. Run-off areas and places where it is possible to go off track with no disadvantage are not only common nowadays, they're become more prevalent due to safety concerns. So if realism is the goal we would see even more places where it is possible to cut a corner or chicane.
Cutting isn't occurring due to poor track design, it's occurring due to poor people design.
If people are just worried about cutting, a more relevant discussion would include questions and ideas about how a race sim might handle and deal with illegal racing without making unrealistic tracks or imposing silly penalties on innocent victims of a shunt or accident.
For those who think that LFS chicanes are not realistic, I'm certain that if you visit or drive on enough of the world's race tracks (especially club tracks) you will discover that LFS chicanes are not strange at all. Real world examples can be found, including chicanes that range from very extreme to very minimalistic in terms of their ability to slow down cars, in terms of the risk factor involved in taking the chicane fast, and in terms of overtaking opportunities created (if that was even the purpose for the inclusion of a chicane in the first place).
There are a miriad of difficulties in handling penalties fairly in a racing sim and no sim to date has ever got it quite right (without real-time human intervention) and I'm not even sure it is possible in LFS either, but I'd hate to see a reactionary redesign of LFS tracks just because people can't race properly.

It's none of our business actually. Not worthy of discussion either IMO.
We've all heard similar comments to this along the way, and the fact is, members of the community do help to develop LFS. There have been many individuals who have contributed ideas, content, and other means of support that allow things to happen that otherwise may not have happened. It's an underlying trend in the development of this sim. While it isn't exactly "public" involvement (or on a big scale), it still does occur.
Don't "reinstall" LFS. LFS isn't "installed" in Windows in the first place.
There will be a simple explanation.
- Was LFS updated using the online updater or by downloading and applying a patch?
- Which patch exactly did you use?
When you start LFS now, what version number appears at the bottom of the screen?

Remove plates from all cars. 
This happens all the time in F1. Nothing to do with Schumacher.
The decision was made because the pole position was at a disadvantage. Nothing to do with the driver, any driver could have had the same request granted.
This happens all the time in F1 and almost nobody gets penalised for it. When a penalty is usually handed out it would be a fine. Sutil's race was of course not compromised at all.
The track was wet. Did Ferrari and the FAI hose it down so that Kimi could crash thereby proving beyond all doubt that there is a crazy conspiracy at play?
He wasn't forced to cut the corner, he was forced to yield, which he did too late. Then he took up off the road and gained plenty of momentum before letting the Ferrari past. It was deemed that he gained an advantage from cutting the corner, which he did. That's the rules.
If you think that somehow Kimi was wrong to drive like that, you might want to watch a few of Hamilton's races first.
If there's a job going with the British Press, you should definitely apply.
Not sure why people call it a chicane, It doesn't look like a chicane.
Please only post skins in the finished skin section. You don't need to make new threads whenever you make skins.
Completed skins should be posted in the finished skins section, in the appropriate thread for each car type.
Nice work on that skin, but please post it in the finished skins section. Thanks.
I tried it in Photopaint X3 and the mask had issues which caused black blocky sections around the arches. I had to invert the mask and use it to remove the background for the file to work correctly. This shows that certain software might not interpret the png transparency as intended by the original software that created the image.
I don't use Photoshop, but I think it should be able to handle png transparency. How are you using the file? ie: are you opening it, importing it or whatever?
Could another PS user please try the file for him?

The universe does not exist in a vacuum, space is full of all sorts of stuff.
The universe will not keep expanding forever, most cosmologists are fairly sure of that now.
The universe is not infinite because it is made up of space, which is still expanding - in fact "growing" or "stretching" may be a more appropriate term. Our universe has an edge, it is not infinite.
The big bang is almost certainly local and our universe is almost certainly not the only one in existence.
If you wish to learn from myths it is likely that you will misinterpret facts unintentionally. Not that facts can't be found in myths, legends and stories, but they aren't a good place to draw theories from with so much real data available to you in the sciences.
Judeo-Christians have proven time and again throughout history that they will believe any rubbish at all with no proof or reason and will edit the truth to suit their own paradigm, so I'd flag them as a long shot if I were you.
The big band theory requires no God, not that you could explain or comprehend such an phenomenon as "God" as it is championed by religions anyway.
No not everything is constant. Huge gravitational forces are tugging at entire clusters of galaxies. Also, the expanding bubble analogy isn't exactly accurate either. The space between objects is actually expanding in addition to their outward movement 'through' space.
Actually there is plenty of ways of knowing the answer. I recommend that you read "In The Beginning" by John Gribbin, and "The Vindication Of The Big Bang Theory" by Barry Parker. While some theories have evolved since these books were first published, the information they contain is still relevant and the books will tell you what you need to know.
Although 8GB may seem like overkill right now, history has shown that as a general rule more RAM has never been a bad idea.
Lust, loneliness, insecurity, fear of being alone, money, status, revenge, guilt...... the list goes on. Real love is rarely an ingredient in personal relationships. Sometimes it can be found along the way, but it isn't the reason most people get together, even if they think they are in love with the other person in the beginning.
