Pretty much like the actual car!
Show us some DD1 skins to balance out the DD2 skins you've been posting (if you've been doing them! )

:bump:
How are these packs going Joni? (I found the thread - I looked in the wrong place :razz

Seems like no-one has the layout...
I would just like to see the track, so if anyone has the pictures that were in the thread then could they please post them here?
Thanks in advance.

Quote from mookie427 :

or what about cap or daz putting on an all-DD meeting? might be a laugh

Yeah but a few of the rodders (you know who I mean) would complain because they won't be able to rod about the track and win all the races

I was looking to get the Banger Racing layout made by K.David (which was available in this thread) but the website it was on has gone down. If anyone has this layout - which is probably going to be a longshot attempt - could they upload it please?

Thanks.

Hmmm... I'm thinking...
Would it be a good idea to revive the Get Wrecked series under a different name with a pretty much identical idea to Get Wrecked?
or :thumbsdow?

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

We need a proper arena venue, with no annoying barriers to send cars into orbit.

+∞ to the power of ∞ to the power of ∞ ad infinitum
But I doubt it will ever be put into the game because LFS Bangers could be described as one of the niche markets* of LFS (sorry, I've been doing Business Studies for too long ), so it would only benefit a small portion of LFS users.
*niche market, noun: a specialist area within a product's market, e.g. for LFS, cruising and drifting are niche markets.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

You need the insim, people like to cheat, it's fine if you just have some friends in a private game, but you can't rely on an admin to be there 24/7, and if you leave it up in times where you don't have one, and people start cheating, then it gets a bad reputation.

I see what you mean now - I thought you were talking just about the meetings themselves, not the whole server.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

If someone made a proper banger racing server, with none of those evil barriers that put you into orbit, and a proper insim running to control the events, then I would be on it all the time.

+10,000, but a complex insim isn't really needed (LFSLapper is the only real insim the servers use) because the events are run well by the server admins.
Also, lol @ that Get Wrecked video.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

But it followed the basic format you suggested, races on autocross tracks, then big arena battles.

Awesome!
What I was thinking of though was to use some of the layouts that have been created for various tracks (like this one for the Blackwood Rallycross made by Gekkibi) and put them into a sort of league.

Quote from mookie427 :

*edit* it's also really nice to see a positive thread about banger racing/demolition derbies on here for once

+1

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

It's been done a few times, my favourite being the Get Wrecked series, not just because I designed lots of the tracks and actually won one of the series, but because it was great fun with everyone on teamspeak and you got penalties for not hitting cars.

Have you got any links (like forum links or something) that give info about these series? I'm just interested in looking at them, that's all

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I would love a proper arena demolition derby server, with the slower cars, and maybe an insim to detect when people are stopped for more than 30 seconds and spectate them.

I was thinking of doing some sort of Destruction Derby League, where there would be a series of races and the last race of the league would be a demolition derby on the skidpad, like the original Destruction Derby game for PS1 / PC.

Quote from DavidSco :

Quite good when you get a few people in it, although they changed the layout from a figure 8 to an oval

It was only changed because there was a planned meeting that didn't go ahead that was going to be on the oval.
The layout should be changed back to the Figure 8 now.
EDIT: I've just checked and it's on the Fern Bay Rallycross, which is a bit strange for a banger circuit.

That song's addictive.

3. Is your computer quad core or dual core? I answer, at which point he says: Oh so its got 4 hard drives? Nice

:ices_rofl
Your friend is clearly an idiot.
Don't listen to him.

I'm also going through part of an LFS bored phase right now since I got Carmageddon 2 working in hardware (Direct 3D) mode (and not Direct Draw Software) for the first time ever (and then broke it about 2 seconds later :tilt.
Sure, Carmageddon 2 isn't a racing sim, but it's still an awesome game.

I think Nights Out is going to be the album of 2008.

Quote from Disposable :

I'm releasing them as packs. They will be DD and DD2 skinpacks with about 20 skins each, wich will be a total of 40 skins... Expect it to be a fairly long wait untill they are both finished.

The packs will probably be the best packs I've seen for LFS when they come out! You rock Joni! :headbang:

I just put the words "LFS Driftkings" into Youtube and found it.

Or, you could just go here: http://www.youtube.com/user/driftkingsazzy and press the team vid one.

Haven't even watched five seconds of it and the caption:
"ha ha ha ha i can not believe u recruited that Luke guy Turbz..he makes the team look noob" pretty much sums up the quality of that... errr.... video? Or is it a movie? I don't know...

Excellent skins Joni - I'm sure the skinpack will be awesome!
On the topic of DD skins: I don't like how Psygnosis did all those brilliant paintjobs in the first game then decided to go to a standard two colour with a number job for DD2.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

These ARE used on ovals, infact they only race on ovals in the uk, see!

I saw Legends race at Croft once but that was like 6 years ago.
