Well, im not trying to cause an argument here, but im from the 'younger generation' (but not someone who spams the chat) and thinking technically this thread could be classed as:

Quote :

a racer spamming chat/acting like a prick/like he/she's the most important thing on the server/whining constantly.

in forum mode not online play chat mode
not saying it is just submitting my view dont come back at me like a tonne of bricks

bump. the track is now uploaded this took me so long and ive had so much fun out of it !

At last! somewhere i can race with other karters! great

i have made 6 kart tracks from the uk in the autox area do you want me to send you them ? i have never raced with others online on my own tracks, would love to though

pm me if you want the tracks, most are very accurate and are great for racing on the MRT, also the lap times are the same

brilliant video! at last one with car sounds... although sometimes it was a bit inconsistent but a superb video

ah thanks this is the thread ive been looking for for the last half hour.. reading through it now, but it doesnt really lead anywhere,


so if anybody has done this (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=428125#post428125) successfully and would like to share their knowledge, please dont hesitate

a step by step method would be useful as i know there have been a lot of people that want this, really very useful if you think about it. A steering wheel strapped on a small desk like mine covers a small amount of the bottom of my monitor thus blocking the gauges. I know its probably very hard to make wat i want work but as i said if anyone has, im waiting! cheers

i think i read a few really old threads about psp's and youtube videos with people that have built speedos for thier wheels, and thought about combining these... is that possible? are there any programs that can do this? if your not following the equipment/layout would be:

you <> your wheel <> your psp on the desk in fron of your screen <> your screen <> lfs

would that be possible?

(sorry if ive posted in the wrong place )

ta

here you go guys - sorry i was offline for a few days :P heres my layout

so is this event still open for people joining? as im very interested although its a long way for me (hertfordshire :s)

I am very interested, i race karts every month, and would have voted for the 30 min practise + 30 min qualy + 60 min race = £61.69 but its now closed

Hey thanks for the feedback

Yeah im downloading VirtualDub now and going to use that for making my .avi clips better
watch this space..

dont know if you can see from the screenshots, but it has some parts that are very similar to corners from other tracks that i really like..

like in mytrak4.jpg is the first chicane from blackwood after the first corner,
in mytrak3.jpg you can see an almost exact copy of the chicane and hairpin from the second to last corner of South City Chicane route...

wow. Its over.

thankyou for sorting this out SamH i fear if you had not stepped in with a fresh view of things it would still be going on.

I Appreciate people like squidhead spend a lot of time helping others improve videos, but i dont appreciate the crude and harsh views that were taken when they expected an amazing video becuase of the title of this thread. This is my best lfs video, my 2nd one, so dont expect, like others have said, for it to be Television standard.

I did ask for feedback, but not how it has come. At least this way my video has attracted alot of attention, as an advertising video's point is to do

"Originally Posted by SamH
you post in a friendly, helpful and supportive fashion"

I suggest this is the way that critisism proceeds in the future, but i am sad that this message had to be broadcasted through my video

thankyou to anyone that did or does in the future enjoy my video, and thankyou to squid for the suggestions i am re-working it now

THE END



Back to the topic of the video, squid, if i could converse normally with you or anyone else, how can i improve my fps?

lol. I was copying my whole lfs folder onto my flash drive to show my setups at his house whilst posting this, and planned to add the layout after rather than interrupt the copying... and my pc crashed half way through

hehe. im not at home at the moment, but i'll upload the layout later (around 2/3 o clock )

thanks for the feedback already!

planned on makeing a MASSIVE track, then did, made a load of changes, and then made it public. its meant to be sort of, left; right; left kind of thing, its quite fun :

your movie: Digital Wheels Head 2 Head vol.2 i used the exact same music in a recent karting video check mine out yours was good

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oHGohQzsHTc

the end is missing but here you go

hi

i cant upload the .avi (970MB) version for some reason
so i ashamingly used Dr DivX and converted to DivX which brang the file size down to 67MB thus lowwwwwww quality. Any ideas?

oh, and if your reffering to the advert for the quality, lmao dont worry its not that bad, i used paint + gimp to make the flyer! lol

that first video on the standalone page of your site is quite good!! although there were some very long moments in the begining i got bored.

Quote from squidhead :

1. Yup, quality really IS the issue
2. FPS also is
3. failure to use a fixed custom camera to view the interior shots properly at some moments
4. a FFD moment and you suddenly go to Slow Motion to show off a lag? Perfect
5. at the moment where you show a close finish the scene is so long that I got the thought "screw this finish, it is boring"...it really is a talent to make something boring out of something exciting
6. some bad camera work after that
7. great job on showing some of bad examples of LFS collision detection
8. I managed to spy a name over the car...BIG MISTAKE

excuses:
1.) i told you already
2.) i'm no whiz in sorting out pants fraps recordings + my pc isnt that quick = dodgy recording
3.) what do you mean? it's fixed.. and not moving...
4.) its meant to be a "300" style moment from fastforward to slow mo then ffw but as i said in number 2...
5.) Calm down mate.. :/ but i agree to long
6.) where?
7.) :/ wat? how else i sposed to show crashes? tips?
8.) that was on purpose, meant to be a joke - comedy bit


Also, i said this was only my 2nd vid, dont bash me down too much im still a learner!

@ Stage 6 my lfs movie, took me around 8 hours yesterday + today on adobe premiere pro 2/fraps/lfs and i'm well impressed with it.

Here are some 'adverts' for it, coming soon... (once uploaded the 970mb file to www.stage6.com!)

o rite cheers anyway guys thought it might help me on my quest to build kart tracks in lfs

ha! i said to my mate last week they should make something like that, external bits for laptops such as graphics or RAM and he said i was being ridiculus. can you say which companies are working on it so i can back up my argument (and hopes)

my first try, its more of a graphic than a logo, im working on another one using aero (vista-like) techniques.

i dont like this one but thought i'd chuck it out there just in case you do

i want to know if it is possible to change the normal car park / autocross 'skin' for the ground (the car park spaces) on the track to a different image. This would greatly help to design my kart tracks, as i could just screenshot the track from google earth and then use this as the ground on the autocross, and race on that.

When the banners around tracks in the /lfs/data/pic folder were made jpeg then i can make my own banners and use them, if the same happens with the floors/grounds then it should be possible

here is a screen shot that i've poorly made on paint !

wow, brilliant video. bit of a sketchy audio change though from the first track to the second, but brilliant editing
