That's a fair comment. Finding good, royalty free music for videos turned out to be harder than I expected. I knew what sort of music I was after and the amount of fades,builds and drops I needed to achieve the sorts of shots I wanted and this song had it all. All of the footage I collected was based on my music choice and in the end I think it all fits together quite well. Ultimately though, royalty free sounds aren't as good as premium ones.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Too bad that these MPRs were a bit laggy,but I recall CL servers always had that little increased latency.

Otherwise well done!

Yeah, I didn't have all of the replays so had to grab some of them from MPRes.

Quote from kristofferandersen :

Haha 1:06! But honestly I did not expect you to be this good at filming and editing. Well done, Pete.

Also, this might be the best trailer/promo video of Live For Speed I have ever seen.

I've never had the patience to try editing a video so I wasn't sure how it would come out. I'm flattered by your compliment, so thank you!

Hello racers,

I decided to learn how to cut together a video this weekend and used the last four seasons worth of my CityLiga replays to make an LFS promo.

This video is dedicated to the Live for Speed community and everyone I've had the pleasure of racing.

I hope you enjoy it.

I used a modified AS1 set too.

0:49.86 clean, 0:49.42 with a small wall-ride.

Here's the clean lap:



Used traction control off the line, then turned it off down the first straight before the first bin. You need it off after that or you lose too much time.

Impressive Niko. Might have to try this.

Quote from =EL 34= :

What is the projected loss of staff? I think my graphics system (HD2000) can't handle it...

The janitor may lose his job but the rest of the jobs should be secure. Upgrading your GPU might let him keep his job. Do the right thing.

Even though I have a decent GPU, I too would be interested in the performance of the new lighting engine.

Looks good.

-- Also why do emoji's not work :thinking:

They worked in GMail when I got a reply notification

Quote from Stölzel :

These looks really amazing. But i had hoped that South City gets also an Update

Scawen has mentioned that all of the current tracks will need at least a basic level of remodelling. There have already been photos posted of new SO lighting (specifically, shadows) but so far no remodelling. I'm confident it's on their to do list though.

Nice comparisons Mo, I like how Eric's updated the Rockingham sausage kerbs. I made that comment last year at the BTCC

Looks incredible. Looking forward to more teasers and cannot wait for the release.

*SNIP*

The speedo doesn't represent an accurate speed when you're breaking heavily. If you locked up one of your rears, the speedo can drop rapidly without the car actually slowing. LFS's pitlane speed limit detection is generally pretty great, unless you're lagging really badly.

Sadly, I was wrong: https://www.touringcartimes.com/2018/08/17/racing-end-rockingham-following-circuit-sale/

That really sucks.

@vane: It's been sold, it's not closing. The circuit will still be operational. TOCA, the organisation that owns the BTCC were not comfortable putting Rockingham on the 2019 calendar because of the uncertainty of what the circuit's situation would be next year.

That was a tonne of fun, working my way from the back. Hopefully I can join you again next week!

Quote from neonmateo :

Just out of curiosity, how much money is worth that kind of track?

Don't quote me, because I can't find the source right now, but I read that it was up for £14m. It doesn't sound like enough for a facility of Rockingham's quality.

Quote from Mikus1212 :

R3E ;p

LFS's demo is already far too generous in my opinion.

Reason? Name one other comparable sim that offers that much content for free.

Quote from Scawen :

For me, having a good life and plenty of free time to do the things I like is far more important than being rich. If being rich was a high priority there are many other jobs I could have done, and probably would have had to work 9 to 10 hours a day and only have a few holidays a year. But what's the point in that? So I could wear a fancy watch or clothes with logos on them so other people would be impressed? I don't get it. Life has to be about doing the things you like to do, not wasting money on expensive crap to show off to other fools.

Words to live by.

You'll be able to book for the 2019 race when registration opens next month at http://24hourkarting.co.uk

Good evening,

In just under a week's time, [TC] Racing and UCK Motorsport will be driving in the 2018 running of the British 24 Hour Kart Race at Teesside Autodrome.

You can follow all of the action from 11:00am on Saturday 4th August until 1:00pm on Sunday 5th August via the Alpha Live stream on Facebook and YouTube.

We'll also post race progress here and on the UCK Motorsport Facebook Page.

Just look out for our kart!



More about our drivers:

Quote from Scawen :

Our plan is to do a small presentation in August. We want to write a little about the shadows and lighting and do some high resolution shots to illustrate.

Anyway, to thank you for being so patient, here's another medium resolution Westhill shot from a different angle in that same weather.

Again 1600x900 at this camera position:
/cp -8104131 21192096 392929 3623 300 0.0 40.0

Well. Damn. That is some incredible sheen.

Quote from Flotch :

For me classics are meant to be changed : no problem with this
Let's imagine Fern Bay and Kyoto a bit more designed for some corners, it would not hurt !

I'm not against subtle changes, just nothing too drastic.
