Play around with the custom view. Move the axes around (x, y, z) and decrease the pitch. You'll find the settings in the View settings in the Options menu in-game.

Quote from matijapkc :Can you tell me what's so unrealistic in DiRT2? Maybe physics which are better than those NFS Shift has. It is probably comparable to LFS.
EDIT: Only without barriers.

Have you tried Richard Burn's Rally? All the videos of DiRT 2 gives me a impression that the car is revolving around an imaginary centerpoint during a turn - like in the previous games. In RBR, you have to do the driving - without some code assisting you in turning.

Quote from z-ro 8 :i thought i read about the FD 401 it can generate up to 4g's using your own weight....

Its possible, but the amount of time you'll feel that 4 g's will be less than a second. The only way for that machine to simulate 4 g's is to accelerate the person at 39.2 meters per second per second (130 feet/s^2). If you want to simulate 4 g's of lateral g's for let's say - 2 seconds, you'll need 78 meters (85.3 yards) of free space for the seat to move. You'll be feeling something close to 1g most of time.

An alternative to that would be strapping yourself to a centrifuge, which could easily generate 4g's of centripetal force for a long time - but it has to be spinning at a ludicrous speed.

Just looked it up. The 2030 prediction is a collision between Earth and an asteroid. That was an old article that was written 10 years ago. They mentioned shortly after that they used a new model to calculate its path, which reduces the probability of a collision. Anyway, lets face it. We will eventually get hit by something out there. Proof: Look at those craters on the moon - and some on the Earth. Someday an object will miss the moon and hit us. Its got to happen.

The world won't end in 2012. The Mayan calendar was made for keeping record of crop harvests, not the "end of the world". I thought the world was supposed to end on the year 2000. :/

Can't believe they actually got this award after screwing up the Operation Flashpoint franchise

Optical Disc research might end. I read this off somewhere that the Blu Ray is probably the last type of optical disc to be made.

You might want to change the color of the stripes on the side. Make it a gradient from red to orange or something. Plain red looks boring in my opinion. The triangle on the nose section doesn't look so good. It would be better if you could remove the base of the triangle and extend the 2 legs

Why don't you check out Lynce's Revolution Pack? They're just new textures (.dds files) that make LFS look like a charm without altering its software code.

Quote from d201 :Well, this is my first skin, tell me what you think.

You could use higher resolution logos and a better paint scheme.

Quote from bunder9999 :is it even possible to drive on a 90 degree bank? what's keeping the car from sliding off the road and landing on the ground? this isn't a rollercoaster simulator...

Umm.. the car's downforce, centripetal force, friction, and inertia? :/



Those are the few factors that would prevent the car from sliding off the road.

Quote from saqqu :Oh that is totally bad man.... i guess i have to use the demo then right?

Yup... either download the demo and do a fresh install or buy S2. I'd buy S2 if I were you.

I'm 100% positive that you have a cracked copy. Single seaters except the FBM are S2 content.

Quote from Stefani24 :CS? Fast?

Cs is one of the slowest fps i play....quake and ut is fast...

If you've ever seen ArmA, you'll consider CS as fast.

Compare 5 to 10 min CS matches to the 2+ hour long skirmishes in ArmA.

Not all FPS's are fast and "competitive". I hate the fast FPS's like Counter Strike, since it requires almost no tactics in my opinion.

If LFS goes, then I'm sticking with ArmA: Armed Assault or any other military simulators.

Quote from Speed Soro :Shadoww, we will not fight ok? Just arguing.

Now, please, change the textures and reflections of the picture you posted and you'll see it equal to any LFS car.

In fact, the S1 models are the same since from its first release.

Of course there are new cars and tracks since S2, but the struture is the same, I mean, the low poly models, wheels without arms, tyres interfering with the body, no details and reliefs around lights and glasses, etc.

I'm not point textures, but polygons and details. Lynce's work is great.

Look this picture and you'll realize what I say:

Oh, so you're saying... the new reflections look out of place on the current "low" polygon models. Well, I do see the jagged edges, but you gotta zoom quite close to even notice them. I don't think you'll be zooming in that close on a specific spot like that when you're racing though.

Did you take the missing BW_Sunny file in the attachments section? If not, you won't be getting the new reflections in Blackwood clear day.

Direct link to bw_skysunny_E.dds : http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... id=78742&d=1235339789

By the way, stick around at April 7th. He'll release an updated version of his reflections and other addons in his Megapack. You won't regret it.

I will definitely get ArmA 2. Hopefully, they'll add some neat features from VBS2 such as the vehicle boarding system seen on its tech trailer.

Btw... are you sure they have better voices? I still hear the same old "Man at 10 o'clock! 50 meters!" in the trailer.

Well, I was being sarcastic in this post as well! It was a joke... I swear!

Quote from Nitrous13270 :If 'nobody' is playing LFS, can you please explain this?

http://www.lfsworld.net/totalo ... 207eba&abc=1236050101

Research before you state something... and cite your source... otherwise you'd sound like a fool.

You didn't get my joke, eh? Soro?
