Quote from KeiichiRX7 :

Ooh, Ovals take no talent? Ask your own team mate Iceman31X about that. Like any other type of course, Ovals are easy to make it around. That's a fact. Being FAST around them is totally different, like any other course.

"Insert foot here". hahaha

My opinion was talking about NASCAR...as far as what Mike does, Ive seen in real life. On short tracks a sprint car is more then a handful and are quite impressive...in real life.

As for ovals in LFS, wake me when its over.

Heres an opinion.

Stock cars...whatever. The V8 Supercars can be considered stock cars and Id drive those.

-1 billion for ovals...for talentless hacks with A.D.D. If I want to watch a mindless idiot goes in circles, I`ll watch my stupid dog chase his tail.

Quote from theirishnoob :

Before i start i just wanna say that im not trying to be tight pocketed or anything its just that when you gotta go to school then work you dont have a choice on how to spend your money

anyways i think demo racers should have atleast 1 reasonably fsast car cause at the moment the xr is the fastest and it only do's 149 mph

thoughts guys ??

Kids say the darnedest things!

Quote from XCNuse :

i think re-outlining the front doors would make it look better and match up better

Possibly. Give it a shot and see how it looks.

For me, and for simulation purposes, the less I have to read on the screen while racing, the better.

All I wanna see in front of me is my speedometer and what gear Im in. Thats why Im all for the `Team Boss`idea over implementing more shit to do in a pit stop for the drivers. And no, I dont suffer from A.D.D., Im to old for that. haha

Quote from R34GTR :

Here's my first ever skin, I know its not spot on though. I still love it

Still not decided if I should make it public though...

Nice! I was just about to make an FXO Laguna myself...looks good. I made a 4 door FXO in the templates section if you like...give it that ever more BTCC feel.

Quote from Funnycat :

Ewww @ the GFX

Do better or shut up. :talktohan idiot replies.

Quote from GT Touring :

any chance the template would make the doors more equal in length.?
it would be a terrific 4 door, the second door is good in the template but in the CMX it looks so small, as if it wasn't there in the car design (wait! it wasn't,) maybe the B-pillar should be moved forward- but how can that be done?

Thought about that but didnt get that far, but you are right. I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with but dont expect anything spectacular...Im a rookie at all this. haha

And its a public template...enjoy.

Quote from sweetreid :

Clearly we need a pit system similar to that of Days of Thunder for the Nintendo.

You can see the birds eye pit stop view. You have a pit crew, and you have to make each guy do his job in order. First you control the jack man, jack up one side, change the tires. Run the jack man to the other side, bring in the fuel guy. It was intense!

Simulated tire wear and heat, engine damage, body damage, fuel(i don't think fuel affected handling)

HAHAHA! Thats funny! I remember playing that, the pitting (because ovals SUCK and requires no talent) was the best part of the game.

Quote from ethan520 :

It might be too easy to do this but you spent your time with it.
I just wonder who would need a 4 door FXO?

Someone who enjoyed very much the SuperTouring days of sedan racing...and someone with a S2 license.

Heres a track pic:

Heres the template:

This thread should be locked! hahaha

Quote from Becky Rose :

And press the brake during tyre changes, and hold the revs whilst the car drops of the jacks.

I think in most GT racing series the number of pit crew is limited, its only really F1 that you see a swarm of brightly coloured overalls tripping over half a million quids worth of carbon fibre.

Personally i'm not really in favour of this, not because it wouldn't be better, but it would be wasted development time which delays us getting the actual animated dudes.

I agree. Every race class has different rules for pitting; from Le Mans to F1.

Le Mans you might have enough time to adjust settings because the stops are so long adding fuel first, then changing tyres, etc. F1 it all happens at once which would give you NO time to make any adjustments in 6 to 8 seconds.

This is why the "team boss" idea would be a good idea for league races...but for just pissing about on servers, no point.

Quote from brendaga123 :

Here is a quick 5min 4 door sedan.

PS.The reason it is so basic is because it was done on paint.

Try these two then: Motordirex FXO and white 4 door sedan.

Spend a few more mins and do it right next time...finish the damn thing!

Thanks Niko. I ran a search but came up with nothing. Cheers.

Can or will someone do this? Ouch, wheres the love! :lovies3d:

Is there a 4 Door FXO Turbo template available? And if not, can someone make one for me please and thanks!

Quote from DasBoeseC :

The so called 'noobs' are the fresh blood that LFS urgently needs!

Take care of them instead of accusing them of being 'noobs'.....

100% in agreement with you on that. None of us were born with the ability to anything; had to crawl before we could walk.

Someone should offer a LFS racing clinic for the new drivers to give them a head start instead of driving like "noobs" and getting silly posts and complaints about them. I run a motorcycle clinic with my local racing club, srrc.ca. We host clinics for new riders wanting to get into racing and its quite successful.

With LFS's spectator abilities, Im sure it would be quite easy for 2 high end drivers to instruct 10 or so newbies on the track and give them some pointers.

I think this idea would also be suited for pit stops and having a real time pit guy or girl: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=22848

For someone like myself that is miles away from racing in the STCC, Im opting to support a team in the premier LFS league and Id like to be able to be at the race in real time watching and being able to talk to my drivers.

Quote from Tboy :

i need to know how to get a s2 license with out paying for it

Pillock...notice he hasnt been back to the forum since then. Good!

HAHA...thats funny.

Quote from battle :

You guys won't get those real cars in the game. LFS isn't based on real cars.

I agree, hence why I said "How about some 4-door sedans, with huge 19 inch wheels, slammed to the ground and 300hp...something like the 1995 BTCC. Not far off the FXO really, but twice as good."

Replicating real cars from sim to sim is getting old because a Nissan Skyline in one game might be better or worse in another game.

No one has ever driven a real FXO and there hasnt been one in another game so whos to complain it doesnt handle like it should or go as fast as it should...you cant.

Now tell me this doesnt resemble this. Oh, its do-able baby, just add 2 more doors and 19" centre locks and your done.
