Quote from racer autov8 :LFS\data\skins

make sure your skins are in .jpg format and have a correct name (e.g. XR GT Turbo use the prefix XRT so your skin's file name for that car would be XRT_skinname.jpg)

Thank you. I couldn't find the /data/ folder before but now I have and this worked. Thank you so much.
How to add skins into the game?

I just installed LFS onto my computer and want to add skins into my game. I opened the file location but couldn't find the "data" folder and don't know where to put skins. Much help if you know, thanks.

Can lapper be configured to manage a multi-class start?

What I'd like is to have all the cars enabled and as an example have say 3-fxo's, 4-fox's & 4-bf1's on the track then a) have the fxo's start first - third, the fox's fourth - seventh, the bf1's eighth - eleventh b)in order as per their qualify positions within their own grouping and c) held back from starting until the previous group is a reasonable time away.

Yes I know this puts the fast cars at the back but it's the hardest so I thought I would at least ask... besides a normal qualify puts the fast cars up front - where's the fun in that

I agree about the scirocco, I get that it helps prove the physics if a real car with real values can handle like the real thing and turn similiar lap times AND I get that it can be a real help during real life testing (ie. uni. students involved with the fsae mrt project can get more testing time). But kinda breaks down if we aint got a real track, now I'll never get to drive monaco so really it's a "fantasy" track for me too.

What I'd really like is rain, night.

Nice image, I like the BW reflection. I'd like to see it inverted, the BW on the top and reflection with the colour.

This may sound harsh & I don't mean it to because I really admire the devs. for the employment they have created for themselves. But I wish I could get a paying job that allowed me to miss, move, change deadlines like they can.

Quote from srdsprinter :...Revit for MEP is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop . It's unintuitive, overly complicated, and in some cases (plumbing) just doesn't work. No wonder Architect types love it. It would be appreciated if you didn't mentioned the name Revit ever again, or at least for a couple of years until it is usable. Thanks.

lol agreed MEP is a pant load of work just to be useable but arch & struc will be the downfall of autocad

Ya I was talking to another supplier today as well and got the same warning about phenom's in general, he's gonna quote a different system (new specs to follow). Also there is still the discrepancy between cad systems and gaming systems based on graphic cards.

Says though that 2 cards are needed to run 3 monitors though, makes sense (I just didnt think it through ...1 card=2 monitors so 2 cards=4)

BTW thanks guys for the input I really appreciate it

As I understand there can be a big difference in the cards...vector graphics / raster graphics. Also OpenGL / DivX too I think?? Is there a good card that does both well.
systems: gaming VS. cad, updated with specs

so...looking to buy a new system and i got a question:

There used to be an optimal gaming system and an optimal cad system & these were not the same beast (graphics card or something iirc). Is there a difference now? I want a system to be able to run LFS is full pretty mode and to use as a cad system (revit if ya wanna know). Everywhere I look I find specs for a cad system or a gaming system but I want to do both. Any gaming/cad guys out there have any ideas.

(I have my guy pricing a system that he says should do both - I'll post the specs when I get them)
