I have a crappy car (well it's not that bad, but still), and I don't really have the money to buy a new one. It's just getting slowly eaten by the rust.

Ford Escort LX 1994
2 Door Hatchback - Black
1.9L Engine - 5spd manual
Now over 278500 km ! woot !

Bought it cheap though, a year and a half ago, so it's doing good. It also had the original Ford tuner (RADIO ONLY) in there when I got it: HAD to take it out... Replaced it with a nice Sony one. And fun stuff is that it has a few cool things for a cheap old car... Electric mirrors, interior spotlights (like in voyager busses), sideways openable rear windows (minivan-style), big trunk, etc. +Very clean interior. Aweful headlights though.

(last pic = my car sometime last winter, basically a collage of where the car is under that snow)

I've skipped a few pages, but...

Quote from Jimmy_Lemon :i think 512 should be low...
1024 medium...
and 2048 high...

...it should be 1 pound for 2048 textures and 1024 and 512 should be free cause there low >.<

I second this part. I would probably put a few pounds in to get 2048, but never for 1024, because they are rather low.

4086 is very high and nice, but hard on resources for older PCs, I don't think we need to go there yet. I've tried a few 4086 test skins and my PC lagged just loading them.

But I vote for downloadable 2048.

Good work mate. Fun to watch. Some races could have held more footage, but anyways.

So little air-time .

RTR needs Host!
Knight_Atack
S2 licensed
Hey folks,

Basically, a fellow and I were the hosts of this internet radio show/podcast called "Race Tech Radio". This is a show/podcast that talks about racing, technology, and gaming news and events.
Quote :Race Tech Radio is a weekly podcast with Justin Hryciw and Yannick Martin who cover the latest in racing and technology news. From Formula One to Macbooks, we cover all the topics of interest hard and fast bringing you a wealth of information each and every episode. [...] It covers the latest news and events of the racing, automobile, technology and gaming world.

Lately, one of our hosts (Justin) unfortunately decided to part ways with RTR, so now I have the quest of recruiting new hosts to keep the project alive.

Here is the news as it appears on the website:
Quote :As mentioned in the latest Race Tech Radio episode (#29), Justin has taken the decision to part ways with RTR. This is a sad event that no one here saw coming, yet we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

On the other hand, I wish to allow Race Tech Radio to continue its run down the road and am now on a quest! Simply said, I am now looking for a new host to assist me. Hopefully, I wish to get possibly two individuals in order to get a 3-way conversation going on, in order to spice up the format.

Therefore, if you wish to be part of the team, and become a host of the show, then apply! There are two ways to do so, either fill out the following form (LINK) or simply send us an email at [email protected]. (All applications will be responded)

I will be looking over the interesting candidates and will interview quite a few of them, and hopefully find two amazing folks to continue the show.

So basically, I am just posting here to see if there's anyone interested. If you are a fan of motorsports and/or technology and/or games, you are the perfect candidate.


If you wish to find out more about the show, and apply, here are the links:

Thanks for your time and consideration!

@ shiny_red_cobra: You should see what we got here in Quebec City, it's ridiculous.


Anyways, I'd love to have a D-SLR, but it's just so expensive for me, let's hope for one day, hehe.

Otherwise, I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55B (Black) 7.2mpx, 3x optical zoom, 2.5" LCD (sweet looking), now with a 4Gb memory stick, and it works just great. Small and lightweight, sweet to carry around. I haven't loaded any bundles of pics on the net yet, I'm supposed to do that eventually, lol.


Anyways, example of my camera attached below, as well as one shot.

Thanks for the good comments folks, I appreciate it, and I'm happy you like them.


@ schwantz34: I usually prefer to keep RL skins intact as they really are in RL, if you don't mind.

Thanks for the comments peeps, I appreciate it.

Anyways, I made this set of skins a little while back as well. They were for me and a mate to use in a league, but it never happened. Now I have no use for them, so I might as well give them out . Not my best work IMO though.


Livery of the 2006 PO FMS International (GP2 Series), #16 & #17 editions.


By the way, the skin is already on LFS World, so you don't need to upload it.

This skin is free for public use.


Enjoy.
JV 1996-2000 BF1 Skinpack

Ahahah, the BF1 thread was dead last in the list.

Anyways, made these a little while ago, yet I think it's time to release them, instead of leaving them lonely and private. I was wishing to complete the entire skinpack of the liveries of all of Jacques Villeneuve's rides, but I no longer have the time, so why not release his first five? The last one (2000 BAR) was done today. The BAR 1999 livery has also been adapted for the FO8 (seen here).


Livery of the 1996 Williams Renault FW18, JV edition.
Livery of the 1997 Williams Renault FW19, JV edition.
Livery of the 1997 Williams Renault FW19, JV no-tabacco edition.
Livery of the 1998 Williams Renault FW20, JV edition.
Livery of the 1999 British American Racing Supertech BAR001, JV edition.
Livery of the 1999 British American Racing Supertech BAR001, JV no-tabacco edition.
Livery of the 2000 British American Racing Honda BAR002, JV edition.


By the way, the skins are already on LFS World, so you don't need to upload them.

This skin is free for public use, but please don't edit it and stuff.


Enjoy My christmas present to you. resent::wmann3:

I might as well post this right now.

Made a little while ago, basically an adaptation from the BF1 to the FO8 of the BAR 1999 livery (seen here).

Quote from count.bazley :Renault's F1 cars have always had a lot of yellow on them.

If you consider these Renault (esp. 1st one)

You should also make available your audio saying "Welcome to the blame game; the show that allows you to decide who got it wrong"

Comp Heating

Hello,

I was wondering basically what is the normal temperature components run at in a computer, but also, basically my main concern was why comp computer started running at the temperature it is.

You see, not too long ago, my CPU and GPU used to run in the 40°C range, when not doing much, but now it seems to run most of the time in the 50°C-s (right now: 52&54).

Here's specs:
Motherboard: Asus K8V-X
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.0GHz
Memory: 1536Mb PC3200 DDR SDRAM (512Mb stick + 1Gb stick)
Hard Drives: Seagate 7200rpm 80GB + Maxtor 7200rpm 200GB
Video Card: NVIDIA XFX GeForce 7600GS 256Mb AGP8X
Sound Card: Creative Labs SBLive! 24-bit (PCI)
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition
Optical Drives: LG DVD-ROM + Lite-On Lightscribe DVD-RW
1 Floppy Drive
Power Supply: 430W (if not mistaken)
There's 2 (80mm fans I believe) in there.

At some point I thought... Well... Maybe it's the PSU not high enough, that impacts on heat sometimes... But... A calculator gave me that I needed in the 300s, so, I don't think it's that.

Quote from vf1-xj220 :Mainly because either the game doesn't properly compress the skin into dds, or it downgrades it to 1024x1024 (if you place the jpg looks pretty crappy sometimes)... so you won't be enjoying the nice benefits of having 2048x2048 textures.

If you place the 2048x2048 textures in the skins/ folder, and use uncompressed (not compressed) skins in game, they'll show as 2048x2048 original like in the past.
