well Senna is my man...it is sort of a unique image (most people have the helmet) so i hope its ok...if not why hasnt anyone chosen FANGIO or LAUDA!? Either way if not repeates are prefered...ill take Niki Lauda, DONT TAKE HIM FIRST THOUGH , im just gonna wait to see if i can keep Senna on board

Quote from joen :

After weeks (yeah weeks, i'm slow ) of fiddling around I finally finished my new BF1 skin. Well, I think it's finished... I have a hard time deciding when it's done, so any feedback/ideas are welcome Next up, converting it to the other cars

now THAT is an awesome skin!!! Good job mate!!

/me raises hand...

I am an American, member of EAGLE, and 100% F1. I do love FOX too, but I am just all about the BF1 now. I don't race the oval, because to me, its a bad combo, but I am all about haveing a race at a kool circuit. I am in the SimFIA F1 Season, and looking forward to it! See you dudes around. If you need me PM me! Also, to any west coast racers, I am in LA as well, so...ya

Peace

Yes, I agree that the wind noise is pretty realistic. Really, onboard F1 cams dont really produce whats in the helmet because the cam is directly picking up the engine that is <1 metre away. I do think that at speeds in excess of 300 km/h the wind does take over anything, because of the violent nature of the air at that speed when hitting the cars different compounds. Now in a road car in excess of, 160 km/h, (which i have first-hand experience in) the engine is completely drowned out depending on the car or speed. The road/tyre noise and wind are much louder than the engine. And like stated before, treaded tyres are much louder than slicks. So, there may be a couple things off, but for the most part, i like the sound balance. Just not the actual engine sounds. But actually, I am quite proud of the BF1 engine sound from within the cockpit. I think it has a very striking similarity to the onboard cams in F1, which, in this case is accurate because it is picking up the engine. BUT, the noise from spectating/tv cam needs lots of work. It needs that distinct whine only F1 cars have, although, really, nothing is like the V10's, the V8's just dont sound as good, but they are growing on me

LOL! My bad, dont really pay any attention to that little thing

LOL!

ya....umm....dont mean to be mean or anything, but what the HELL is the point of this??? LOL!!! I thought it was gonna be some thread about whether WR's are good to train off of or something...bla bla bla, but then I come here and read about an ant that wants bite Biggie in the ass?? and in ant-language at that illepall

Well anyways, might as well advertise again...If you like the BF1 and like Formula 1, go to www.simFIA.com for more details!

YA!! Great job Glory!! I remember the FO8 version and EVERYONE loved that one. Glad to see it on the BF1, its fantastic!!! Also Al your 3M car is awesome as well!!! These are really great cars you all are painting!!

Well its pretty annoying. He probably really wanted to win, and just didnt want to let you go. It's pretty unrealistic as well. I don't really like that. That was a little tactic on the oval, but I mean, on Blackwood, I dont see that as being very mature. I don't really like that type of stuff. I hope you won though

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Sorry - I wasn't trying to be disparaging about your efforts, I just found it an odd "accolade" to be granting someone, given that the organisation was essentially just an idea at the moment. A bit like saying I'm active in the Peoples Republican Army of Kevland - I haven't actually devolved Yorkshire into its own independent "democratic" state yet, nor have I declared war on England and threatened to overthrow the monarchy, but I might do at some point and I have thought about it a bit. Not a lot, but still...

LOL! Well, I didnt know about the post until, well, i read it, so the SimFIA is like you said an unjustified accolade. But, LOL!! Peoples Republican Army of Kevland!!!!! Go for it dude!!

Well i think it would be really kool. I'll try it. As to where you use it, the SimFiA F1 season and other seasons have Safety car periods...I would use it then Great idea, especially if noone else wants to try

Cheers,

Quote from al heeley :

Erm, no, that's the wrong conclusion. In fact all 4 manufacturers logos are on the same single dds file, just that only the michelin one is visible in the normal layer, the other 3 are on the alpha layer. It makes more sense to me to put all 4 on the same dds in order to replace the LFS brands if that is what you want to do. That is what I did with this dds file, it replaces Chromo, Torro and Evostar with Dunlop, Bridgestone and Yokohama, all on a single dds file.

Thanks those are GREAT!!!! only thing is the fact that everyone keep missing the Bridgestones, they're just still not as accurate. Anyway, though, I like it, best substitute. The most accurate is the Potenza's on the first page of the BF1 Thread in the skins board. Just look, it was made for the Vieweer - it's the most accuracte Potenza's i've seen. But when I try to open the .dds, PS gives me an error, and DDS Converter won't convert. So see what you can do, here's the link...http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=6610 - post # 11

Hey Albeig, come on mate, calm down just a tad. I am not gonna say anymore, but let's just take this thread out of our mind.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Isn't that an organisation that has existed for approximately a week, and has so far done nothing? How do you manage to be active in an organisation like that?

Easy, easy, we are completely formatting it now...working on website, forums, getting skins, all the bumps smoothed. Talking to drivers etc...So just be patient on that.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I don't think there's anybody here who races a bigger variety of cars and circuits than I do. As for the oval - it's got three corners, it doesn't take a lot of experience of it to learn what it's all about. Anyway, apparently I mistook your teammate for an amoebic oval hotlapper, so I apologise for that.

NP mate, but yea, i did a few hotlaps, but I raced the oval for fun before because, it really was. It really varies by person so I respect your view, but I really dont find it 1% of what it was. I also have a huge variety. Don't care what type, as long as i like the car, i'll race it. I am really an open-wheel junkie, but I have really taken to the GTR's as well. But I race it all, so again, no problem for mistaking me for that. There are lot's of these Oval "Junkies" that you don't know what to consider me.

AHA, lol I see...beginners

How so, telling them to back off a little?? You know, think about others...illepall

Definetely dude, Keep Michelin, Bridgestone Potenza, Goodyear, Pirelli and Dunlop!

Well about the screaming...I am by no way insulting any noob drivers. We all were once, right? But what I am getting at is the moment we get something new (LFS or life, deosnt matter) we just have to try it right away, even if we know its not best. Now I dont know how to say this w/out getting bashed, but anywhere - we need to think of others too. Seriously, I am not saying if your a newb, dont race online, but either practice a little in slower cars, or offline, and read. It won't hurt to check out the beginner's Forum for a series of quick reads just so you aren't hurting other peoples races. I am also not saying we're any better then you, its just that experience is time based, just give it sometime before you rush on filling every server because the BF1 is just soooo awesome. I know a lot of people say it's the easiest car to drive. It's not, it does take skill believe it or not, because otherwise people wouldn't go full throttle into the back of someone at a hairpin, or just losing it out of nowhere and then backing into a leader. The shift+s isn't that realistic I know, (everyone wants their chance to limp it back and save their laps) but in a short informal online race, it really helps protect the leaders. I have sooo many times just been backed into by someone who wrecks on one side and backs all the way to the other.

But whatevers, the point - Take it easy, and think/respect others on the track. We all want to win, thats why we get mad when someone wrecks us, therefore, think of the others trying to do the samething.

Quote from Kajojek(PL) :

Photoshop CS2.

I am not saying to just completely let one go, but what I was getting at is respect - respect is a given. Thats what i mean though, he just closed the door on me, which is wrong, I am as you said, more safe/slow when other cars are around... but there you go, respect and right of way, it just means, I have the right to have a clean attempt at the turn, and consequently a pass because I am inside, he should not, nor anyone should close the door knowing that. The risks outway the gain.

ya...hmmm... I dont find anything wrong with LFS tyre deformation. Its quite accurate to me, I was watching the SanMarino GP yesterday and there was a great shot of Schumacher's tyre throughout a lap in Imola, and compared to the BF1, its very very good. Thumbs up to the crew!

Well it depends, I have read numerous racing etiquette books, rule books etc., and basicly, it comes to this, the person inside has the right of way. If your outside of a turn, and a driver is able to get his car level with, say your rear wing, or rear-right tyre, by the time you get to the kurve, the person inside should technically get the right of way through the turn. Now if driver C is outside both, its a no-brainer, he gives way to the two, then can look forward to the next overtaking oppurtunity. It only makes for closer, smarter, and cleaner racing . Now people don't always do it this way, but I find it only polite.

In fact, I was in a race today, and was inside of a driver going into the high-speed turn 1 at AS_Gp, now, as i said (and it definetely applies here because of the nature of the turn) I should have been able to have a clean pass, instead, this driver closed the door on me and thus wrecked out, I actually caught the slide and kept on. He consequently put up the "hmmmm....thx for that" - I was shocked illepall I HAD the right of way, but hey, either way, its just racing.

But anyway, thats my take on it!

very true travbrad, i do believe unless you have expereince with FO8 for a while or other experience, you shouldnt start out with the BF1 if your a newbie to the game. I do really get a little mad when I see cars flying full speed in a turn, I just dont get how they think they can get through at full throttle. It is pretty funny seeing how you can just use that left pedal, and you wont wreck as many people. It makes things pretty dangerous, and pretty annoying if you want to have a good race. I do think they should practice in other cars. I knew the moment this car came out, there would be flying Saubers because the amount of people that like the car far outways their skill. I have pretty much stopped the oval completely as well for the sake of patience, I just cant do a race when they are wrecking from the speed. It takes a lot of skill (believe it or not) to take these to the oval, much more than the FO8. The racing is closer and much faster. Either way though, I do enjoy these cars on the circuits as it should be much more (newbs or not)...and I'm afraid my oval days are as done as PatchQ. See you around the circuits (Aston most probably! )

Dygear and I are working on the website as we speak. Once it's done (very soon), there will be a packet released at the website and all the info. Once the site is done, we will have it in our Signatures. Although just for you to know, it's http://www.simfia.net
