I really liked it!!
It wasn't just another race video showing a super driver doing some hot lap driving and just changing the angles.
It had that team spirit in it, the I'm-racing-for-fun-and-if-I-finish-1st well... np
] attitude, and some cool highlights like the one at position 1.10.
The music choice was really vivid and and the transition from that kind of beat to your sarcastic hymn, was a really surprising, nice unexpected ending.
The only thing that was distracting me from the action was that DivX logo which was poping up all the time. Please remember to disable it in your next video.
Congratulations, very nice attempt!!

Hi, I wasn't the person who requested the skin!!!
I just shared my opinion, cause I like the skin and just wanted to comment on it.
So, no need to rework the skin for my taste...
Keep up the good work

It doesn't go up to 8 AA probably because it is not supported by you card.
Nothing much you can do about it then.
You may download a newer driver perhaps and try that too.
Mine goes to up to 8 AA but an SLI combo goes up to 16.
So there is a limit in AA depending on the card.

On the left or right corner (I can't remember the default position) of LFS there is an FPS (frames per second) counter.
Select a car and check that counter while you are in the start/finish of blackwood.
Now, from within LFS change the resolution to a lower one like 800x600 or even 640x480. Then you can try to turn off AA&AF also.
Check the counter again. Have your FPS raised? Then you might benefit from a better card. If not, it means that a new graphics card won't do you any good.
My rig is a [email protected] with 1 gig ram and 6800GT card in AGP. I have 8AA & 16AF and at 1024x768 I'm getting 100fps with the bf1 at the start/finish of blackwood.
If I change my resolution to 800x600 or 640x480 I'm getting no FPS increase, which means that LFS is CPU limited at this resolution. If I increase the resolution to 1152x864 I still don't see a frame drop. But if I set it to 1280x960 my frames drop to 85. And if iI set it to 1280x1024 it drops to 75!!
This means that I need a better graphics card if I want to run LFS at 1280x960 and above. Do this test on you own and you'll find out if you need a better graphics card.
For the record the 6600 is much better than the 6200 and it matches nicely with your P4 3.0Ghz.

This is a good discussion about the wind feature http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19040
That was quick!!
I have some comments
Wouldn't it be better if you put the green picture to the hood instead of the rear and the hood picture to the rear? (To switch these two.)
And I'd prefer a greenish colour or pattern instead of the white as the basic car color.
lol I know, I know, this skin is not for me, but I just wanted to share my opinion.
*voice from the backround*
Who gives a sh#%t about you opinion!!!

I guess what tristancliffe said at post #3 is the best thing to do.
Unlocking the game with a dialup connection does not take any longer than 2 seconds!! You don't jave to use ADSL to unlock the game.
The problem is the you can not race online, but imo that's not very bad when you are a begginer. Learning most of the tracks offline is a very good practice for some later on-line gaming.
Most of us have to make lots of practice offline when we are facing a new track anyway. LFS is not going to get cheaper by summer to worry about your... 24 pounds investment and your liver would thank you for your LFS purchase also

I know this is a very old thread, but the problem it mentions is still here 
This is not a bug actually, but an improvement suggestion imo. LFS should not scan the hard disk for a skin if a race is in progress. I don't mind to having the default skin displayed for a user until the race is over.
The appliment of the new skins should happen if a race is over or at restart, before the cars set to the grid not in the middle of the race.
This sluttering when a new player gets out of the garage always happens in a hard chicane, when down shifting and trying to get the proper line.
It isn't a matter of internet speed connection, cause it happens even if the skin is already in the skins_x folder. It's that seeking to the hard drive that causes the slutter.
I have my hard disk defragged etc and I think there's no meredy for it. Even if i had my skins folder to a raptor raid partition
, seeking in a huge folder like the skins_x would always produce a slutter effect.
Disabling the auto skin download feature does not solve the problem either cause LFS still scans the skins_x folder to find if the skin is there.

Hey guys, glad you finally sorted this out. It seems after all that it wasn't LFS's problem. LFS requires the setups you put in the settings folder to have a standard prefix for each car. Check your original Race_S names or Bob Smith's Setups to check what the prefix for each car is.
For cars with two word prefix there is no under score between the words so it is "XF GTR" or "XR GT" not "XF_GTR" or "XR_GT".
If you ever download a wrongly named set rename it properly before you put it to your LFS\data\settings folder so it will be recognized.
Getting sets online from another player with the send setup option has no problem because LFS adds the correct prefix automatically.

Reason : grammar mistakes
As raptor said. This is not an LFS bug. It's a program or a backround process that takes the focus and causes LFS to minimize.
Just check them one by one until you find the guilty
Imo something like a messenger service, or an e-mail client, something that resides in the system tray probably.

Hi, I'm not a skinner, but I think that
they both are too coloreful at the front and with no color at the rear.
Also I like the colours & decals to be symmetric.
Off course you might don't

I voted for AI, cause it's the section that has left most behind imo.
This has been suggested before I think, but the vote is stil yes.
And to keep averybody happy, the best would be to add it as an option for the hotlaps too.
Start from last split, or from start/finish line.
I prefer my hotlaps to start 1 whole lap before, some other's dont off course, so an option whould be great.
+1

Your wheel has a problem as it seems.
If you set the "gearshift debounce" setting to 200ms, do u still get double upshifts or downshifts?
But again if you are changing gears rapidly, with a 200ms setting you'll still miss some gears during shifting.
I have the same problem with my thrustmaster wheel, but if I set the debounce to 100ms I have no problem, which is OK.

Happened to me too 
But who to blame? The ghost mod, or the raf converter?
Ghost mod works fine on it's own, but if I feed it with a converted ghost doesn't always work.

ALL of the above are true for me too!!
I don't play other games anymore. Just LFS & Mame.
We are talking about serious bucks here, I had changed from
GeForce3Ti200>Radeon 9700 PRO>GeForce6800GT>LFS came
Celeron 1700>P4 2400>P4 3200>LFS came
No more stupid FPS hunting and benchmarking and tweaking and buying. Just fun. My next upgrade will be in 2 years from now.
It's the ENGINE folder not the ENG.
About the X: drive now, It's not an X drive.
Actually X means the drive where the LFS.exe resides eg for my installment x=C:\ so the full path is C:\LFS\DATA\ENGINE
For you it might be C:\Program Files\LFS\DATA\ENGINE.
Also make sure you have patch V installed

These files HAVE to be in dds format. If you have them in another format you should convert them to dds files and then put them in the dds folder or else they are just ignored by LFS.
Keep in mind though that dds files unlike skins or setups are not choosable. If you want to put a dds file in the dds folder you 'll have to overwrite the old one so keep a bakup copy of your dds folder before you change anything into it.

Hi, I downloaded your program and I like it very much. One addition I would like to see is a settings file, or at least an option to keep my previous selections for excluded car/tracks.
It's quite hard to exlude all the rev tracks each time
EDIT
Or if this is too much trouble, just add an extra button to the right column buttons with the option "Deselect Rev tracks" or something.
Oh, and it would be nice to use a custom icon for your program too. This VB6 default icon is really ugly for this kind of program. It can be done easilly from the main form's properties if I remember corectly.
Keep up the good work

You are an artist man!! You didn't just make a picture of a bear. Your skin trully represents the style of the man of the first post. Great concept

I guess you are right.
I don't like "absolute" opinions, but sometimes if you are not carefull (aka don't think before you say or write something) they just pop up.

The damn AI's are wreckers, and crash all the time. The best they can do is complete 5 laps tops. After that they just stuck in some sand trap or throttle against a wall
illepall The Oval track might be an exception, but in all other tracks they are a disaster
Yes for LFS it is very good, but the nvidia 6600 series is better at the same price tag.
Hey Adamski, seems that you are a BF1 guy right?
We have a BF1 team if you are interested, the members are me, JET46 and dltacos. It's called OnlineMotorsportsClub [OMC] http://www.onlinemotorsportsclub.com/ . We don't have our own server atm, we just hang aroud at public servers, like the [SR] Race server 3.
We have joined the Sensible Racing BF1 Championship http://www.sonicrealmsracing.co.uk/srcup.php which ends this March. If you are interested joining a BF1 team come over to our forum and make a post there. http://www.onlinemotorsportscl ... /forum/viewforum.php?f=27
Now, about the setups you asked, as Bob said the physics haven't changed with the latest patch, but the sound did!!.
So make sure you go to the LFS audio options and crank up the wind and skidmarks volume and lower the car engine volume. Then boost the volume of you speakers. This helped me, cause I had major problems with the feeling of the car too with this patch, but this was because of the sound actually which is quite diferent now, this might be your problem too.
I have a good Oval set, although we don't race at oval. I just had some laps there when nothing else was available and I got this from another person. Here it is...
