"That's it, im switching to Bridgestones."

Mine looks like it was shot from farther away... Holy crap, this is the third time i have changed my avatar today

Quote from rjm1982 :

We need a stock car in LFS.

Not just for the oval, I find in the Nascar sims I spend the most time playing on road courses.

Theres something to be said for pushing a 3900lbs car with half the grip of an open wheeler and alot less downforce around a road course. If you don't believe it, get your hands on nascar 2003 (papyrus) and try to take the bus-stop at watkins glen at the same speed as the RL drivers.

And they need to try making consistent comepetieve laps on ovals other than talladega or daytona before they come in posting s*** ignorant comments (im not saying you are, im just referencing other people, wont say any names)

Where did you put my booster seat?

Quote from Becky Rose :

I've seen a few inverted avatars recently, maybe we should have upside down avatar month!

Upside down avatars you say?

EDIT: Upside down STOLEN avatars

EDIT again: Changed my avatar to something else :/

Yap, [D-Stylz] Hanska

I`m usually drifting at the Norwegian Fun Drifters server or the Swedish Drift server. Don`t know when I`ll go there next time, I`ll holla when I know.

The HCGC servers? Im Eqilibrium's right hand man :P

I am not sure if this is in the correct section, but this thread will be dedicated to Garry's Mod screenshots. Here are some of mine from a Spacebuild server The first three are a friend's space station built on asteroids, and the last one is a picture of the spaceship that I built, energy, life support systems and such. Post away guys!

This is really starting to get rediculous. Tristian, stop trolling around this thread and do some real research before you make another post about how NASCAR drivers are pansies. Fire up a game like NR2003, and try a few tracks with no assists, you will see how "easy" it is to get around one of those tracks, especially in heavy traffic.

Quote from Funnycat :

Update!

Astounding job! But dosen't the car need a driver in it if the dyno is running?

Quote from lizardfolk :

The only potential problem I see in oval racing with rain is that it might create a giant mist that'll completely blind you (remember NASCAR has no lights).

NASCAR could devise a way to put lights on the cars without effecting aerodynamics, I saw an IROC race at the Daytona road course where the cars had lights blended into the aero since the race was scheduled at night time. Yet, the visibilty would still be little to zero in even moderate rain in traffic due to the mist from the high speeds.

I did manage to make out some of that wall of text, your problem is sliding into corners? Try braking earlier, brake hard at first and as you slow down, ease off the brakes to prevent wheel lockup into the corner (if you are using a car with downforce) and take it easy through the corner. Don't accelarate too hard too early with RWD and even FWD and AWD cars, it can easily cause you to slide or spin out.

If you would take the time to post that in English, then we would be more than happy to help.

Quote from tristancliffe :

if the tyres can clear water at that speed (F1 tyres can, so I imagine NASCAR tyres could if they wanted to).

Yes, that sounds 100% reasonable!!! Cannot see a reason not to.

Have you ever considered the actual physics of an F1 car and a stock car of any kind? I believe one reason that F1 rain tyres can clear water so well is because of the immense downforce. NASCAR race cars have FAR less downforce than an F1 car does, even at the 140-210 mph speeds that the stock cars run, especially with the new car. If a NASCAR stock car or even the COT had anything near the range of F1 physics, you wouldn't see the car's tires lifting off the ground in the Watkins Glen or Infineon road races.

Quote from Hankstar :

My favourite Escudo trick in GT2 was when you had that oval enduro to do (worked in GT3 with the mega-oval races too): use a rubber band to hold the right analog stick flat to the floor, let the car take off, get it to top gear, go do something else (but periodically check that you're facing the right way ). Gold.

Was that 5 mile long mega-oval in GT2? The one in GT4 basically has a long line of dips in the turns if you try to run anywhere near the top paint line, making any car almost impossible to control.

Quote from aston martyn :

and TC would be better in the F1 cars as ive seen videos of people spinning in the Formula 08, the BMW has TC, why not the other F1's?

The reason why the FO8 and FOX do not have TC is because their real life counterparts don't (ChampCar and Formula Renualt). Also, the FIA is requiring the removal of traction control from all F1 cars in the 2008 season.

*Driver looks over* WHAT!? Gran Turismo 4!?!? You said this would be a REAL simulation!

Quote from Hankstar :

Nice that they let you take your pets to school.

Huh? I don't get you there. If you don't know, junior in high school= grade 11. I'm in grade 9.

I PM'ed Frenchy because I couldn't find this page, Is it possible for me to join the team? I haven't recieved a reply from any of the team since i talked to Frenchy.

Im 15, started high school today, and got dry humped by a somewhat cute junior within the first 30 minutes of being there.

Now to actually wreck it

Anyone want to try this out?

Quote from squidhead :

no difference still
1) you could record your pb using for example PIP style - with one camera at the wheels, one camera on the dashboard...
2) record in 0.5, speed it up with VDub
3) ehm... it didnt do anything to make the movie more exiting...

Okay, I will take care to do things like that in upcoming videos.

1. It was meant to just be a recording for a pb.
2. Fraps is an FPS killer, of course.
3. There was a car in front of me, no hotlapping mode.

You guys are right, I probably shouldn't have posted it here since it's not much of a "movie" at all, just a recording.
