  1. Downloaded it tonight, It ran first time for me despite the rubbish on rsc about it and I was impressed with it

     

    The cars slide nice and are a lot of fun to drive, I agree with John about the track..Dijon is a bit dull but the demo is excellent on the whole. If there's a screaming BDA Escort in the full game then consider it bought lol.

  2. Best one for pics quality wise is Adobe Photoshop.

     

    I used to use Paint Shop Pro 8 for pics but they come out a bit grainy compared to Photoshop but I still use psp for skins then convert them to tga in photoshop.

     

    None of these are free though, you might be able to get a free trial on these for a month or so (google search should find it) but long term if you want the best ones you going to have to pay for it I'm afraid.

  3. Hi, I assume you mean MSN Messenger..if you are closing it in the taskbar then maybe you have some options ticked that allows it to restart it.

     

    I've attached a pic with my options on, make sure you haven't got the auto start up when connected to the internet ticked, should solve it.

    End it all isnt really that necessary for offline use, its more handy for racing online where you dont want any other programs messing with your internet connection which leads to warp.

  4. Hi, Here is my "mystery"  wink.gif skin that I've been working on for last couple of weeks,

     

    The ex John Lund 2 time world final winning car of Roger Mitchell#303.

     

    I did spend a while on this tbh, A lot of it is done by hand either by using the tracing technique or totally from scratch which, in my case, does take up a lot of time. I decided to do this car basically because there is an existing chassis in the game and that makes it a lot easier to do with this one being my first proper go at a real skin, also there is only one skin in there which uses that chassis and I thought a bit of variety might be a good idea.

     

    I might do another one i think, but that would depend on the time factor of getting this pack out as I wouldnt want to rush it.

     

    A pic is attached, along with some excellent renders from H33 so many thanks for that.

    Thanks also to whoever posted the pics in the montage on stoxnet, I've had them so long that Ive forgot who posted them so thanks if it was you  wink.gif

  5. I found that mod the other day and its excellent, the interior of the car is very well done, very good online as well...

     

    There's also more and more track's coming out for it as well..Great stuff  thumbup.gif

  6. Dont like the Tigra at all, one of these turned up in Autograss a few years back and it was quickly dubbed the Corsa/Nova pick up due the vast space where the rear screen goes.

    Mechanically speaking, a Tigra is just a Corsa with a different body  unsure.gif

    Technically, A VW Corrado is a Golf with a different body but a Corrado doesnt look like a fancy pick up truck with the rear glass removed  wink.gif

     

     

  7. Dont like the Tigra at all, one of these turned up in Autograss a few years back and it was quickly dubbed the Corsa/Nova pick up due the vast space where the rear screen goes.

     

    The size of the cars seems to be the thing now, you dont see many Focus's/Fiestas these days and smaller cars appear to be the way forward

     

    Fiat Seicento's are the car to have in autograss these days for the same reason..be funny to see a Hot Rod version

  8. Hi,

     

    I found about this when I was on one of my frequent visits to my local library's internet cafe in 2003. Was just surfing around the oval racing sites and I come across a link on the short circuit site for the online hot rod racing. Followed that and found there was F1's as well  thumbup.gif

     

    I was already getting a PC at the time so I ordered all the stuff for ukdirt (Nascar Heat), got the PC on the monday, sorted the broadband out during the week, Booked in for the F1 Long Eaton meeting on the Thursday and that was it..only missed one meeting since.

     

    Been superb tbh, been gaming since the C64 days but nothing beats racing online rather than offline.....

     

    Cheers
