Grrr .. work forces me to miss out on another one :-(

Looks great MoR ... Do the tyres move or are they static like all the other tracks?

Don't worry ... that exact same setting had a few of us fooled for a while until it was pointed out!

Breath taking work MoR on both yours and Drumbsticks cars.

I like this one better ... Both are very nice though

Very Nice skin ... well done

Here is a link to the comments from the person who organised the filming on stoxnet. Stoxnet Forum Link

A couple of renders of my new 'Chevy Powered Furball' ... Thanks to Drumbstick for the renders. [attachmentid=22637] [attachmentid=22635] [attachmentid=22636]

Looking good ...

Just looked through all mine and I seem to remember it was tough to get any type of picture of those buildings due to all the transporters .... and that was the best I did .........

Where they go is in the main directory for rFactor then .... UserData / <USERNAME> / Settings / <TRACK NAME> / folder ... For me that would be: C:\Program Files\rFactor\UserData\Fourwinds-156\Settings\Bradfordtar (for a Bradford tar setup)

From my experience, I've only ever come across alpha channels for one use only and that is for transparency (black=transparent, white=opaque) and have never heard of it being use for gloss like you say, unless rFactor has some kind of hidden setting which I don't know about. However, if what your saying is correct, I think the requirement of no alpha channels will still be the same, because we want rF to be loading as little as possible, without it having to worry about alpha channels, which are already in places on the chassis models themselves and parts of tracks. This is the tutorial I was looking at:

Alpha channels can be used to reduce the gloss shine on the main paintwork also and can make numbers more shiny also

Can I ask what the reason is to not use the alpha channels on the .dds files for the stockcars? Is it for performance reasons?

Provisional booking for me please ... Fourwinds-156

Well I would not put John Lund or Frankie Wainman Senior into the big hitter category of Brisca racers yet both have been very successful by being skillful and nudging.

To laugh that the comments on this page.... I THOUGHT IT SAID RFACTOR F1! when i clicked on the icon, i still read about the 1's... and when i get more time or the odd nite free i will return and have a blast round.. but reading this might have to take the bumpers of steel off and replace them with a contact bleeping warning device by the sounds of it It might sound like that ... but perhaps the other way to think about it is ... common curtesy ... We are all playing a game .......... check We are all here to have fun .......... check Hitting people fairly is fun .......... check Racing hard is normal ........... check Fencing people just because .......... not checked Spoiling someones evening .......... not checked This is a contact sport we all are saying that ... The new people are just trying to find out the level of contact that is considered acceptable and fun. There is no point fencing someone just because and then not being able to race online for the next 'X' amount of time .... Far better in that situation to not fence then and race next week with slightly less points!

You should watch Murray Harrison!! And see where that got him at Kings Lynn!

Personally I would sit behind him .. but that is just me ... and I have been told I'm too easy on people.

Fourwinds 156 booking in please

Found this thread about the damage.ini file in rFactor for modders: RSC Forum Link

Thanks ... I wanted something different and when someone on the chat misstyped and called me Furwinds an idea was born! I just had to find the right fur to add ....

My new car skins ... A Chevy powered furball ... [attachmentid=22116] [attachmentid=22117]
