Honda's new livery revealed.

Picture's from Official Honda Racing website.







They have managed to make a worse livery than last year! :/

Apparently according to Kunos, netbike is in other words a kind of beta of the 1.0.3 patch.

He's using it for idea's etc apparently.

Interesting......

Just added myself

Make that 3 Comment's :P

I gave it a thumb's up!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Hey hey, netBike is at least fun to mess around with :shhh:

Shame netKar Pro isn't though, as lot's of people cannot run in properly because of lag etc!

Kunos has been working REALLY hard on the 1.0.3 patch, so much so a new netbike video is on youtube which has a wireframe rider!

So much for the netKar Pro patch is coming........that man is full of crap.

He spend's all his time doing stuff other than the patch!

Quote from james12s :

well ant if you ever pop down to kent to race you will probably go to bayford meadows or buckmore park, my uncle is the manager and coc(clark of course) at bayford, and i live in the same town so i may well pop down to meet a felow lfser

Nice to see a fellow Sittingbourne LFS racer

Been to Bayford Meadow's once, went Karting with my Mum's work. Was good fun - really enjoyed it, although i gave a it a bit to much throttle on the first lap and had a mini spin lol. (Was about 8pm i think, pretty damp track.) Got 3rd fastest lap too, which was quite good. Im sure i will go again soon but it's pretty expensive for me, as i don't have much money :/

Quote from Jakg :

Ditch Kapersky for AVG or NOD32. Ditch the Zalman cooler, unless your overclocking massively get something like an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro.

Apart from that it's ok.

What screen do you have ATM?

At the moment i have a Hanns G 17" TFT running at 1280x1024 @75hz, so shouldn't have to many problem's FPS wise there?!?

Hey guy's.

Quote from JTbo :

I guess we don't see tintops any time soon

There's more chance of 1.0.3 patch coming out in the next 20 year's than Kuno's creating some tintop's!

I actually prefer Single Seater's BUT at the same time i enjoy racing tintop's too, so it would be nice to get some!

Still, Kunos & BRD seem to be Single Seater freak's :P

I can't belive i actually wasted my money on this sim! :/

It has so much potential, yet i seriously doubt this will be alive for much longer. Kunos has lost the plot i think, all we need first is the 1.0.3 patch!!!!

Bring back the realistic tyre's (Eg flatspotting!), fix the bug's etc and then build upon that!

Finish the Hillclimb/Osella, THEN think about adding new feature's, track's, car's etc!

I have all but given up on NKP, i spend all my time on LFS, rFactor and Grand Prix Legend's :P

What a shame.

Hey,

I am currently looking for a team, i am willing to learn and i would say im a "quick" driver.

I mainly race the FBMW around South City Chicane Route but also race the BF1 and FOX from time to time on other circuit's.

I am online most night's and sometime's in the afternoon.

Don't mind racing with team skin etc

Cheer's

Mclarenmatt.

Edit: I race as [25] Kemsley in LFS

Quote from GloryJ :

It seems like you used a very low quality vodafone logo. There are pages like http://brandsoftheworld.com/ where you can download logos as vector graphic. you should be able to open them with photoshop or illustrator. If you use freeware try gimp and inkscape.

Thanks for the link Im already using GIMP but i will take a look at inkscape too!

As i said im a complete novice at this so any help/idea's i get are much appreciated

Thank you.

Updated Sidepod to Vodafone Logo.

Hey Guy's

This is my first wip skin - im a complete novice at skinning!. There's still lot's to be done and i hope after i have done a few more skin's they will get a lot better.

I have done the colour scheme, now i have to add all the sponsor's etc. The "Coombe Drive Racing" On the side will probably be replaced by a sponsor - i just put it there so it doesn't look so "empty".

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1107/cdracingbeta1yo6.png

Hope you like it so far (remember it's my first skin ever ).

Cheer's!

Edit: Been looking around on the forum - there are some amazing skin's!

Quote from Travis Rowe01 :

the reason why most of us dont have S2 is becuase i dont have a credit card becuase im only 14.

I bought LFS when i was 15 and i don't have a credit card. It's called give the money to someone in your family and use their credit card!

Announcement To All Demo Users:

Want the XRT back?

Follow This Link

(Save £1 a week = S2 in 24 weeks!)

Not willing to stump up £24? Show's how much you love the car then doesn't it?!?!?

So buy S2 - or disappear out of this thread/community and stop making these f#@*ing usless thread's/post's which are filling this forum up!!!

Quote from marzman :

What's in a name? LFS S2 is LFS 2. Just wait till it is finished and then compare S1 final with S2 final.

I mean a new game as in Live For Speed 2 not S2

Quote from rainspecialist :

i no s3 isnt even close to coming out but will s4 ever come out or is 1.00v or known as S3 the last LFS? i will b so sad if it is

You would have to ask the dev's but i would think an LFS 2 would be more likely than S4 - you can only develop so much before you need a fresh(ish) start.

Still like i said this is one for the dev's, i don't wanna start any rumor's flying around!

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks but I'm thinking about my month after Christmas, Patch Y will be out this week!

Yay! Good news Looking forward to Patch Y!

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

I'm trying to back up an image of my Tablet's hard drive using Acronis to a shared drive on my desktop. At first, it would only get to 4% and then give me a write error. Turned out Norton Worm was blocking it. I turned it off and it seemed to be running ok (EVERYTHING is disabled on both computers) and yet this time it only got to 39% before giving the error. The thing is, when I get that error, if I go into the My Network explorer, I cannot access the other computer again, and I have to fiddle with it until it shows up. What gives? Any ideas anyone?! HELP!

Are you using a wired connection or wireless?

Quote from Bob Smith :

Which bit of thin air did you pull that from? Just want to kill that rumour before it gets any bigger. Otherwise, the rumour mill can keep going.

Lol - was just a guess! Maybe a new car/track tool is being released?

Quote from Bob Smith :

Actually Android got surprisingly close to the mark.

LFS and rFactor have formed some kind of partnership?
