LFS is sold in stages, £12 for S1, S2 and S3 with a total cost of £36. So even if you bought S2 now and S3 came out in a week it'd still only cost £36 total.
He does sorta have a point though. I for one don't really understand what it is either. Ok so it's pit radio, but.. mmm. Either way I doubt he was actually trying to be nasty about it.
Anyway, I'll give it a try later to find out, thanks for all the work put into it I'm sure it'll be useful to people
Yes, LFS is a racing simulator and not a spectator simulator. But for some graphics are part of the 'sim factor'. It helps to immerse you if your surroundings look true to life. Plus graphics cards are getting more powerful by the day and personally I'd rather have 80fps and high res textures than 150 and the standard ones.
People pay hundreds, or thousands, of pounds for modern PC's and if they want to use the power of those by using high resolution textures, then more power to them. It will always remain an option
This would be nice to see. Would take a fair bit of time and commitment. Not to mention teamwork.
Could make LFS look quite nice. The current textures look fine but when viewed from even slightly close they're just blur.
Makes me wish we'd actually finished the TSR blackwood, may have to give them some final touchups and release them. I personally think they look quite nice (Can see them in action in LawVS's Aspirations)
Perhaps worth waiting for S2 final but I don't really see what could be changed about the tracks that would break textures between now and then.
Some peoples PC's (Mine included) have issues with Fraps and LFS. No matter what settings/res I use I get no more than 10FPS, when I can easily get 30fps solid in other games while recording.
The solution to this is to change to a 16bit video mode... Then viola!
See if you'd started off talking about starting a competition for demo racers to earn a license, instead of asking everyone to buy a license for a random person, this thread would have been alot nicer.
I think I'll agree with Androids comment about the post count.
I'll also agree with Chris's idea of 'If you want him to have it, you buy it for him'
And
You put a poll up with a Yes/No answer and you don't want people to just say no? A competition of somesort would be fine but buying a license for someone because he can't spell and entertains a couple of people when there are many more deserved demo-ers around just seems odd to me.
Rendering is when someone imports the 3d model into a 3d program and then applies the skin/lfs textures to it. Then they create a lighting setup and usually try to make it look as realistic as possible.
I suck at explaining it but a 1024, or for better results, 2048 res skin is required to render your skin.
Someone now come along and explain this better, the heat is getting to me
