I see what you did there. That's similar to the GT-R black masked... But all you did was darken up the bumpers. You should do some brushing to make it so that the car looks covered up with a cloth.

That's a good try. I just don't know what's wrong with it. It's probably just me...

Do those green marks mean the soft tire? I think it's supposed to be lighter... But I'm not sure.

That's still part of the 'screenshot' thing. In short words, DON'T DO IT!

^ That edit was the one that won you the 'Aquaplaning' theme amirite?

Man, I just got GTPSP, and it sure is crap... in a way. Why do I feel that my lap times are faster? Did they make the physics more arcade-y? PD should take off the 'real driving simulator' subtitle from all their upcoming GT games, because simply put, they are dumbing down the physics to, what, please more 'racers' who grew up with NFS? PD, like EA, is now making GT business for them, and not in a good way. Seriously, I like the first 3 GT's than this (Physics wise).

Another thing that Polyphony is advertising is 800+ cars for the game. Why? Most of the cars they added were, as you may come to know, different versions (i.e. the Clio and the Lutecia, the Japanese version of the Clio which is exactly the same) of the same car. The only true additions were probably less than 20 cars, and the rest just different countries and such.

About the whole game though, I liked getting back to my roots and completing the driving missions. However, I did not like the idea of having no career mode, because it makes the game's lifespan really short. And with the ever-changing dealerships, it was hard to appreciate racing in single player because you rarely had the chance to buy the cars you want, and you'd have to keep saving the money when it wasn't on sale.

All in all, GTPSP is a decent game, just a lot of things went wrong with it.

:O

I want a PS3.

The Very End!!!

Alright, cheers for giving it away though.

Quote from The Very End :

I'm a faggot now you say?

I never said that. I was just riding with all the 'faggot tree' jokes.

What on earth has happened to thy faggot tree? >_>

Hey crashgate, do you still need that DFP?

*Sigh* Well I do hope I have some time to design something. Although I _know_ it won't even enter the specifications..

Quote from FivEd :

where could i get it?

Read the first post carefully.

Nice job...

Quote from tristancliffe :

It'll be based at RTN, Norfolk at first, which is just up the road.

I'm thinking of sending them my CV - wouldn't it be great to work for an F1 team on your doorstep

Why don't you apply as their first driver?

Argh. Time pressure much and I have to do 2 skins in 5 days!!!

The Very End

Is the comp finished? I haven't gotten around to finishing all skins yet. Damn siblings and school

I dunno about other people, but that looks damn realistic!

Well as long as it's not too large... Please share

Quote from BBO@BSR :

so your guess is: 2 min. 14 sec. 64 hundredth
Good luck with that

But I think you meant 2hours 14minutes 64 sec.
wich is the wrong format as it would be: 2h.15m.04s (as there are only 60s for 1min)

Ahh, so I will change my format to the correct one then. Thanks for pointing out.

2H, 14Mins. 64 secs

2:14.64

That's my (Not in hotlapping) PB in BL1, but with a minute added

Quote from ACCAkut :

5. for the longrange one: put weight on the wheels, use them as flywheels, so that it keeps going once its running

7. CDs work well as wheels

Please clarify...?

Quote from ACCAkut :

7. CDs work well as wheels

Can't be as large as that >_> Maybe I'll get a Powerade Drink cap.

Quote from carey :

There you go. It's funny how Luca said Ferrari would be mad to replace him for Monza

Well, since he can't drive in corners maybe he would do good in straights.

Nearly done on the XRR skin... Will start the VWS soon. I am still thinking what single seater I would skin.

Quote from amp88 :

Balsa wood is always a cheap and light material to use. Aerodynamics will come into the equation because even though it's not going to be travelling very quickly it is only a small scale model so lower wind speeds still have an effect. The wheels don't have to transmit any drive so they just need to hold the chassis up and, as you say, provide the lowest rolling resistance they can. You could use thin balsa wood discs with a sharpened rim. There are a few important questions though.

1. What size are the balloons?
   
2. Are you only allowed to use 1 balloon (it looks like you need to clear that up with your teacher anyway).
   
3. Are you allowed to control the rate of airflow from the balloon? E.g. can you put a restricter on it so the airflow is slower but lasts longer?
   
4. Are you allowed to direct the airflow from the balloon (e.g. with a nozzle)?
   
5. Does the balloon need to be filled with air?
   

Thanks for the answers everyone. To answer amp's questions...

1. The balloons are party balloons. Not the long ones, the small kind of balloon... about 4 handfuls?

3. Wouldn't that make the car go slower? Unless it would traver farther, that would have no use.

4. Yes.

5. But of course.

Again, thanks for the answers everyone. Will have a look at the site you posted Bob.
