  1. Just to clarify, the show that was in memory was sposed to be the live raw on monday evening, wwe had only found out he was dead that day, they knew nothing about the situation of his family at the time of putting the tribute on.

     

    As soon as the realised they apologised and pulled the show from airing in any other country.

  2. Fake isn't a word I would use to describe wrestling in it's entirety. We all know that the matches (most) are scripted with the outcome already decided (although a lot of matches these days the guys are told who is to win but just to go out and do what they want), but there is still a high level of skill and athleticalism in what these guys do.

     

    To stand there and make it look like you are being punched by 300lb man (whilst actually not getting hit) isn't something most normal people could do, it would end up very messy :blink: .

     

    The whole point of televised wrestling these days is to make it entertaining and bring in the $$$$, so much more entertainment is added to the wrestling factor to keep the casual fan interested just as much as the hardcore fan.

     

    I mean anyone that says a man jumping off the Hammerstein Ballroom balcony through a table is fake is seriously mistaken. Ok the table isn't solid oak, but the guy has just jumped off a balcony onto another guy, there will be contact, it will hurt!

     

    When guys like Sabu, Terry Funk and Mick Foley blade themselves, they really are blading with a real blade and the blood that it creates is actually real (hence the real scars lol).

     

    Tbh if all people watch is wwe then thats where things go wrong, as the wwe as lost the plot over the last 6 or 7 years. Anybody will tell you, go watch the Indy promotions or live shows down the road and you will see a much more believable product.

     

    On the note of Benoit, absolute horrific tradgedy. The man was clearly not in a stable state of mind, and although not an excuse for his action in hos own mind probably done what he thought was right at the time.

     

    I have follwed Benoits career from ECW, through WCW and in to WWE and have always admired his commitment to the business. As with Eddie Guerrero, Benoit was one of the best allround wrestlers in the business and imo still had a lot left in him.

     

    It does concern me though that WWE seems to be pushing the smaller guys to 'bulk up' more, just look at Benoit, Guerrero, Mysterio etc before coming to the WWE. I mean you can only train for so many hours a day and it is inevitable that Steroids would come in to play to enhance the process.

     

    It was stated that excessive use of certain Steroids could trigger symptoms of paranoia, delusion and mood swings among other things and, whilst I am not going to speculate, it would seem this may have been the case.

     

    My final words on the matter.

     

    Benoit the wrestler, always will be a legend in my eyes, always gave his all and deserves no less.

     

    Benoit the man, I cannot comment on the mans personal life away from the ring, all I will say is that whatever the problems innocent people don't deserve to die.

     

     

  3. You can save lots of time by modelling below the standards expected in uk dirt approved cars. That way the hardest and most time consuming part of modelling is missed out. Ok for the free leagues but means a lots less skill is also needed.

    A quick test to see if a car is of the better quality type is to use swaffhamR or swaffham8 and crash hard in the car you want to check out. In the replay (dont wind back or you will lose damage)...use tv mode and on the bend when the camera position is on the outside of the track observe the cars as they round the bend. As the cars reach about three quarters of the way round the bend PACECAR4 files kick in. The cars made to the higher standards should retain their damage and not have parts dissappear (apart from the insides). The poorer quality cars will revert back to undamaged state until the camera position following the car changes.. Some will even have external parts go missing.

    All models take a lot of work and are appreciated...but please bear in mind that some are built to the higher standards and take much more work and skill to produce than the lower quality types.

     

    Now say what you really think Reg :rolleyes::scared15:

     

    Fin plate is awesome BUT do we really want a whole field of cars with the axe fin plate :unsure:

     

    Other than that, great model Swindy :thumbup:

     

  4. Hi, this is mainly for attention of the free league moddelers as I know they all come here to read/play lol.

     

    I havent really been keeping up to date with new car releases lately and, although I have all the .car files, I know I am missing a few templates.

  5. thank god though it was just me lol tryin to get tracks for new computer

     

    I did post about this under the Bangers section, 2007 update, it seems that the domain (ukdirt3.co.uk) where the files are hosted expired on the 26th April this year which would indicate why the files are inaccesible.

     

    There was an update placed on the whois register on May 10th, but doesnt say what that update was, quite likely the domain was renewed.

     

  6. Those 4 bits are on the fin plate layer for some reason, so when painting fin, justpaint these bits as well.

     

    You may be able to duplicate the fin plate layer and then remove the fin plate and merge the rest on to the body layer, tho havent tried this yet.

  7. I do a smiliar thing, merge all body parts, make that layer grey, then duplicate and set to overlay and paint/sign the overlay. :thumbup:

     

    boss i do the same but is there any easier way of erasing the grey from around the signs other than by freehand using the eraser tool. cheers, damo.

     

    I dont get grey round my signs. add me msn i go through it with ya, theboss295@hotmail.com
