Should really aim for atleast 1024x1024 for render skins.. higher if possible.

512 just isn't enough

Will be keeping my own Blackwood one, but the SO one definately has a home in my pic folder...

Good work

I have my keyboard turned 90 degrees next to my wheel when I'm racing..

Now that's a typing challenge :hyper:

I don't think screenshots really do it justice to be honest. I'll make a quick video and try and compress it as best I can

I like the sound of that Pre-season race..

Skid marks







Again remove .th if you see links

Tyre marks show up fine. Haven't got any screenshots on this PC but I'll take one tomorrow for ya.

Last time I checked the cereals were more than a pound or two a box

I usually spend about £30 on there, mandatory Lucky Charms in there too. But now.. My diet is ruining my ability to spend money on horribly unhealthy imported food

Quote from AndroidXP :

Personally, I'll probably play more LFS as there won't be any decent TV material until that rubbish sports event is finally over.

I still can't believe the top gear season has been shifted around it

Tis, check the Misc addons forum...

Unedited screenshot though so it counts as raw

I tried to get the blades proper size, but failed it seems.

Grass is under heavy work now though

The grass will definately be brighter when it's released

Quote from joen :

edit: maybe the grass could use some dried/dead grass parts?

Originally it had more, but the way LFS tiles it you see the same brown patch..alot basically and it looked just wrong.

I demand you phone me up so I can listen to the cars and pretend I'm there

Might go next year, but this year.. Not got the funds

Some 'track with car' pics.






I actually think with a car in there all the levels look quite realistic. Maybe it's just my monitor...

The repetative grass has been a problem throughout. Since we used an actual photograph of grass as a base you'll end up seeing the same 'patch' quite a bit. The way BLGP's textures are laid out on the course seem to escalate the problem slightly since they repeat seemingly hundreds of times..

I think in the end we'll release a couple of packs, one like it is now and one brighter and more 'cheerful'.

Both of those packs will be in both 2048x2048 (road, grass, etc) and 1024x1024 to suit peoples PC's

Thanks for the constructive post darkone, these are still WIP so we will definately take your post into consideration and make some changes

1) We didn't Google image search any texture.
2) Boxer's comments were constructive critisicm. Although were slightly harsh, I admit.

Alot of texture packs are personal preference. Some people will like yours, some ours.

But thank you for coming to the thread

Regular BW textures have that. Not to that extent. It's basically 'old and new' tarmac. New being nice and black and smooth, old being more worn and grey..

Boxer and I have been working hard on these, we've finally gotten to a stage where we're both happy with the textures and are close to releasing them. Just finalising a few things.

As always, you all want pics. So. Here...



If no images are here, fileanchor.com is down




Crits/Comments are welcome

If you don't see image-thumbnails go into your forum profile and enable the 'show links as images' option (or something like that, I think that's it)

Edit : Mirrors for the images if you don't want the hassle

I've spent way too much on that site already.

Now I'm going to have to buy mentos. I blame you

Your avatar also seems to have sampled some

Not sure how a car like that could get on 2 wheels in real life (to that extent). But when I was driving the same car/course earlier I managed to roll it several times. Bloomin' curbs

Also had it on 2 wheels quite a bit. Mainly on the corners you did.

I used to put polos in my glass of coke all the time.. Minty fresh

Haven't seen popping candy for years though. I used to love that stuff and worry for hours fearing I'd explode. Thankfully the Mythbusters cleared that up sometime last year
