I loved the intro with the drivers presentation, very nicely done! Not a big fan of LFS crash footage because it looks so unrealistic, but the for rest it's really nice. Nice action packed overview of the season I think

Well done!

C4 from the explosives? Good luck with the team

Thanks for the comments everyone! Seems I'm gonna have to "finish" this one then Apparantly I could have done that for the live broadcast as well, since some of the team video's were even 5 minutes

I'll try to make something out of it, let's hope I don't make it worse

Quote from J@tko :

If you watch Le Mans on Motors TV, the presenters reguarly look at the forum. Could we have a forum for this too and Michale reads out our comments on the race as it happens?

Join IRC.. #moe on GameSurge.. he will read that

@zeug: ~75 minutes for xrr, 66 for fzr (gt1 that is)

Quote from squidhead :

music didn't come to a logical end leaving the feeling that the movie hasnt yet ended when it has...

Agreed, without a doubt Was just damn hard to get a right ending in such a short clip..

Thanks for the feedback

Tried something new (well, new for me).. Especially for the 24h broadcast today I tried to make a short promo clip for the team, much like a television advertisement. So tried to make it short but powerful.. hope it turned out well... Please note you need some bass on your sound system to get the full experience

although this might not be intended to be found

Yeah.. I hope it's not going to be taken offline now though.. looks like a great tool to use in the 24 hour race of upcoming weekend!

Quote from farcar :

I gave 2 a goes, though the pros could do it way better.
Good screenie too. High quality how it should be.

Oohh nice! I really like the black/white one, thanks a lot!!

d6nn has already tried his hand on this one, here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=666976#post666976

The result made me curious to see what else there can be done with this image... It would be cool to have as a poster in my room

Thanks in advance!

Quote from AndRand :

I prolly messed up renaming folders first, what I was prompted by Ian.H's prog.
thx Ian

Ah yeah, I guess my program wasn't designed to deal with manual interference.. apologies for the misunderstanding.
Good to see Ian was able to help you anyway

Nice one! That might eventually end up as a poster in my room... thanks!

Quote from AndRand :

i got similar problem. I ran Splttael's prog - it renamed old files (now in "setups" folder) into new format, the new ones (in separate folder) into old format... brilliantly... but LFS now sees the new ones only

Hmm, I don't really understand what's wrong here? It renames fine and it locates the files into the right directory, but LFS doesn't see it?

Quote from AndRand :

(though they have old format like FO8_Race_S.set :shrug

Just to be clear, that filename you mention is in the new format, not the old!

Quote from traxxion :

Sorry for a semi-repost but if I remember correctly from an interview Victor has done, he doesn't look at the Improvement Suggestions section a lot.
Now I really wonder whether the following can be called a "bug" (or rather "mistake-in-thinking" - not meant in a harsh way, just don't know how to put it correctly), or if there is a good reason for calculating it like that!

--> http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=17483 <--

Sorry for quoting myself, but I take it this has been turned down as "not a bug" and "a silly suggestion" ?

Edit: lol, a year ago already? :O

Quote from Victor :

And yes, very good chance i'll be going again next year. And not just to Zandvoort i hope.

Cool! I'll be on the lookout for that 350Z then!

Quote from gtman :

hey guys have no clue on wat to do??? it jsut says that wen i open the lfs game it goes and error and says data/skins/default_jpg or something lie that? wtf do i do?

Sorry to hear it doesn't work.. if you'd mind to repeat the above in proper English so I can actually understand what you're trying to say, I'll try my best to help you out..

Quote from traxxion :

I can think of the following two things:
1. Make sure you select the "LFS\data\settings\" for the Old settings directory (top textbox).
2. Make sure you don't change the values for New settings directory (middle textbox) and New colours directory (bottom textbox) after it's derived from the original settings path.

Does that work?

Quote from Lee531 :

could you please tell me wot to do if i would like to rename them for example this is one of the setups (one that i cant use) XR GT TURBO_drifter.set to what???
a fast reply would be helpfull a LOT
thanks
Lee

XR GT TURBO_drifter.set = XRT_drifter.set
XF GTR_as1_race.set = XFR_as1_race.set
XF GTI_bl1_qual.set = XFG_bl1_qual.set
etc.

So change from full names to three letter prefixes

Quote from wolfbr :

I´d like to know where is it this explanation about this new setting system in the LFS page????

All I can find is this:

Quote :

Setup and colour config files now use three letter prefix

If that doesn't work, please give me shout so I can investigate more thorough

Quote from Kris-Is-Awesome :

Well, i'm installing the framework now. It appears as if the new install has deleted ALL of my old setups. in the setups folder, all i see are the race_s setups for each of the vehicles... what happened?

There has been a change in the folder structure and file name format with the launch of LFS patch Y. That's exactly what this application is for.. if you select the old "settings" directory in your LFS folder, it will rename the files to patch Y standards and place them in the appropriate folders.

I found that in real-life there are much more important parameters to give you feedback. The "on-the-edge feeling" really comes from the grip level of the tyres and you get that feeling through the wheel via your hands, and through the seat via your buttocks - to your brains. Those two very important parameters are things that either don't exist (unless you have that Force Dynamics machine) or hardly exist (Force Feedback in the wheel is quite good, but by far not good enough to simulate the real-life feedback) in LFS.

Besides that, the good thing about racing compared to normal road driving is that you don't have to look at the speedo

@Victor: hope you were't involved in the crash that day on Zandvoort? Pity I wasn't there this time, car's in repair at the moment. Any chance you're going again sometime next year?

Thanks for the roses everyone!

Quote from koolby :

congrats on doing some useless job, everything is changed and old setups are USELESS. Just make new one's.

I'd think the old setups are a good base, when developing / adapting setups for the new physics? But if it turns out the old setups really are completely useless, you can still use the app for renaming the car's colour schemes.

Hi Victor, just a small bug in the wrs list, requested by &action=wr

Quote from NoPistons :

but was is .NET Framework 2.0?

and will splattaels' program work if I don't have .NET whatever it is.

I used Wikipedia for some help to answer your question correctly:

Quote :

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software component that is a part of Microsoft Windows operating systems. It provides a large body of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, and manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering, and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

And yes, if I understood correctly there is no need for this framework if you use splattael's application.
You will notice soon enough if the .NET Framework isn't installed on your pc though. The error message will tell you without any harm done

EDIT: Good to hear it worked I'll leave this post in case someone else is wondering about the same question.
