i wasn't planning on making it public, but we'll see.. maybe i'll release it!

i feel like something is missing on it though.. i definately need to improve the stuff on the hood/roof a bit!

give me some feedback, and we'll see what happens..

as the topic says.. can a old PS2 wheel (broken one at that..) be used on my pc with LFS? it's a looooongshot, but i thought i'd ask if someone could guide me!

first i have to find out wtf is wrong with it.. (stopped working after a relative of mine abused it..) and then i guess i'd have to remove the ps2 connector, and try a usb one instead.. sounds unlikely that this is going to work though!

as i can't afford food right now, and i'm going crazy after trying LFS with a wheel instead of mouse, i thought i'd give the old wheelshit a little hope and faith!

23 here..

sorry for bothering you guys.. i guess this thread was a complete waste of time!

i got much more consistent laptimes today.. well, at the end of the races anyway! and i'm a tired mofo today, so you'll have to ignore the first 3-4 laps of each replay!

if you're gonna watch my replays though, bear with me, cause i'm not a clean driver.. at least far from it at times!

edit: and fyi, i'm a mouser.. xD but i guess you can tell from the replays..

the rubber was around the same temperatures as well.. so, i don't get it..

jakq, have you read anything i've written.. maybe dirt tires can be interpreted as dirt on tires, but i was talking about dirt-tires (rallytires?)

no dirt on startup on SO sprint 1 as far as i know..

pretty cold tires in general, started several races online, and offline.. but experienced less grip in singleplayer mode..

i know it sounds weird!

1st of all.. this has NOTHING to do with drifting!

2nd, i was racing alone, both online and offline..

3rd, as i said it was the same track, same car, same setup.. and it was with the BF1 i noticed this with, so it couldn't have been dirt tires.. or?

well, can using test patches to compare make a huge difference? not sure what version the server was running, but atleast it was U.. i'm running test 27 atm..

i just have to ask!

is there a difference between online and singleplayer physics?

as i noticed quite well last night, i had much less grip and couldn't get as fast times offline as i did online! and i felt that the difference was quite big..

it was the same track, same car, same setup, so i can't see anything else being different..

has anyone else experienced this, or is my mind playing tricks on me?

well, wouldn't it be better to use Pro-Kits from Master Skinners?

how high fps do you normally run, and how low do the dips go, if there are any?

well, i didn't lose more than 30 frames per second from adding a bit of aa and af! but still.. it looks WAY better!

+1

cause nothing has pissed me off more than this online with LFS..

i checked it.. didn't like it.. i'll stick with these lights for the moment!

i guess i will come up with some older looking lights.. sometime..

if you're so god damn desperate, why don't you try making one yourself!

edit: oh.. sry! you're only 8? well, try using gimp.. it's free, and not too hard to start up with! skins aren't that difficult..

you can get it here, btw!

yeah, i know.. it's a bit mixed, modern and oldschool.. but maybe i'll figure out some oldstyle lights as well!

well, you can drift just about anything.. so why shouldn't this..

don't fit in, how? bad lights, or not good together with that skin?

NP mate!

i really wish people would post comments though..

ehmm.. as i recall, this works with the demo.. it shouldn't though!

i really need a new version of the tweaker soon.. i'm bored out of my mind with the cars as they are now! that's why i spend my time making skins instead of driving..

i'm glad someone likes my work!

thinking of making a lotus f1 type of skin as well.. you know, the black with gold writing on it!

thank you!

pls post comments when you've checked it out people!

trying to make the xrt a little oldschool atm..

check out preview nr. 3, and you'll see the reverselights..

they might be the wrong color, but it wouldn't be the same if they were white imo..

Quote from XCNuse :

really cool skin; i think for the taillights you should stretch it out so we dont get that black stuff (except maybe a thin black border) but the reverse lights on that wont work at all

i don't know if i wanna stretch the lights too much, cause i'm afraid they'll get blurry.. but were you thinking stretch on height or width?
