Hi Kruiz.... Crasher asked for this car in october for F1s online and i never finished it so it never was raced, and never will be, so i have the trackstar logo which i made myself if you want it? Are you working in psp or photoshop? It's yours as long as you make sure i get a little credit for it and don't pass it off for your own. Sure you've done a great job so far, stick with it! Cheers MoR

Its not the case of being perfect is it? Its the fact that a shot in game would've looked much better than those attempts. Harsh i know, but to me that looks like a 5 minute job, maybe half an hour if your new. Its not that hard to find the magnifying glass and zoom in either is it? See where I'm coming from. Credit where credit is due. If it looked like a solid first try (like tombo's on another thread for example) then i wouldn't have replied like this....

Hi Nice work Sparky, i like the scene you have built, however, i think you might want to look into using an alpha texture for the mesh as at the moment it just looks like a wall with the mesh drawn on (alpha texture may not be the correct term, but i know what i mean). Not sure if you have had permission to use the model, so not going to comment there, the skin is abit strange in some places, the checks are definately not right and the randall logo is a 'cheat' version of it, using the logo JB posted up, so if you want the skin to look 100% you should spend some time working on those checks right and making the randall logo from scratch. Construtive Critisism.... remember Cheers MoR

I'll second that! Personally i think you should have waited to post Mart, i'm not particually gobsmacked by you getting a mod into max, adding your skin, changing the enviroment to white and smacking F10. To me thats not a render... look at mitch or fasternies gallery, now they are renders, something just that little bit different. When you have something different to show us then you can challenge someones point of view, but when when you have no arguement against someone thats uses 3DS for what its meant to be used for (modelling), you should just keep your trap shut. Sorry if this post seems harsh, but you dangled the bait and i snapped at it. You blew up at Dazza when you had no right to, and if you read his post again, you see that it was all polite and tried to avoid you taking it the wrong way

I used to be a DD2 nut aswell lol. Got it for the pc many many years ago (came with the pc i had just after got rid of amstrad/mega driver combo, so a long time lol!) and i loved it, being so young it was a dream come true as it was closest there was to a stock car game. I remember always shouting my dad to watch my replays and i super impressed when i managed to roll it lol. Was never a fan of the DD arena races i prefered the track but a superb game with soooo much staying power. When i got my ps1 i brough DD1, which wasn't so good cause you couldnt roll it, but great nonetheless. DD Raw was good but not as good as DD2. Don't think they should release another one though, let this legendary series go out on a high

Sorry Rikard, always got the ones on the brain forgot we were talking multi formula here lol. 7000rpm at the end of the straights for F1s, and if i remember rightly the same for F2s, but im not so sure.

Yeh it works for every track, some tracks i only use one gear. However, you do lose accelaration this way, eg if you have 3 short gears before your racing gear you go up them quickly thus reaching a higher speed quicker. However, with auto you may find that it downshifts round the bend which slows you down quite considerabley. It all depends what sort of driver you are, i tend to use two gears because i hit the fence (and other drivers, when i don't miss, lol) alot so one accelerating gear does the trick to get me up to speed quick enough. Glad to see newbies at least asking for some direct advice with a detailed post, rather than the usual one sentence 'how do i setup my car?' post or the 'add me to msn and send me all your setups' post. Top stuff chaps Hope this helps.

Congratulations Mr ad Mrs Ham, all the best

Those cars do have a template, or else people wouldn't have been able to paint any paintjobs on them now would they? I used to have all the BriSCA Legends templates when we could use personal skins in the league, including those which your after but i deleted them once the real life skin rule was brought in.

I believe the answer to your question is no, and why would you want to not use a template anyway

Hi Mate One thing you have to remember this that setups are not crucial to fast laps, they are helpful but not crucial. You need to sort out aspects of your driving aswell to be fast, for example think logically when going into the bends. To go as fast as you can you generally need to use as much track as you can to speed up, so for places like buxton, arena and northampton you would want to be driving near the fence on the straights and cutting into the corners reasonably late. That way you will be braking as you are turning the corner, and you will also be going fast whilst maintaining a tight line. Then accelerate down the straight near to the fence as soon as you feel that doing so won't spin you or drag you into the fence. Then repeat the process for the next bend. Thats the way to do it on most tracks, well it is for me anyway. Setups help alot of course. Start with the 'default' setup and then adjust wheel lock, depending on your controller, you want around 9 or 10 for gamepad, abit higher for keyboard and even higher for steering wheel. Then you want to sort out the weights, mainly wedge as this will affect the over/under steer on the car quite dramatically, then play about with the sway bars. If your using automatic gears then change your gear ratios so that you are only using two gears, and the final gear. Set 3rd and fourth gears 0.50 as this will prevent the car from going above second. Then play with your racing gear (in this case your second gear) and get it so it stays in that gear and does not shoot down to first round the bends, and so that you hit around 7000 rpm at the end of the straights. Final gear will also have the same effect when you adjust it, so you just need to play. Leave shocks and springs until your confident, a simple gears, weights, sway bars and wheelock setup should start you off nicely and get you clocking some near-on-pace laps. Hope this helps

I believe you are now 'not allowed' to post anything along the lines of 'use the search facility or read the posts properly' Mr. Bertz (meant in jest btw lol) Cheers MoR

Well done courty, got mine soon too! Crikey lol! First time pass mate? Congratulations!

Click bitmap then make sure its looking for TGAs only then find your file.....

have you tried racing with anything but your controller, with the keyboard for example? i know you think it isnt your controller, but worth checking every possibility

Just joking around Dippy, hoped people would see it as abit of a jest..... I'll get my coat

He may use txt speech!!!! But at least he's enthuiastic!!!! Cheers!!! MoR!!!

I know what you mean Grasser, all thats left in my house are a few deckchairs and an empty guinea pig cage. Worth it for those renders though! Now all i need its those 3DS Files? Anyone got them? If anyone has please add me to msn so i can pretend to be your friend

Honestly, we do!!!

Superb Wrighty

How old are you? 11? There no pride in anything if you cheat.... i wasn't there or have shown any evidence, but your attitude stinks and i wouldnt be suprised if you cheated. I would challenge you to bring yourself to ukdirt, to see your reaction when you get trounced by everyone, but we could do without people like you in our league!

Kruiz...... you may have a hard time if your relying on fonts for real life skins. Most sign writers tend not to use fonts which are publiclly available, or make the thier own designs themselves, so the best way to get a close rendition of a paintjob like the one brian evans did here to is to make the graphics by hand, its long winded tracing all the shapes, but worth it at the end.

Its a shame that this is going to happen now, more and more people are getting the tools of modelling available to them, and the physics file isnt that hard to get too really....... its a shame there is no way of locking .car files to make them uncrackable.... Shame that it going to come to this, as its going to hurt ukdirt alot if it reachs here Might be one for admin discussions, how to tackle cheat messages..... I know it'll be a hard one to sort out though, as johnmid said, cheat messages aren't the most reliable of things..... i've had loads of them before in the past and i don't know why, and im sure other people have, so how do we keep an eye on such things if they appear to be random at times? Just a thought anyway.... the only thing i can say, is if anyone is caught cheating, ban them for life.

Hi Its not the fact im being unhelpful, its the fact that im not going to spend a few hours mapping it, when it wont be able to be put in game anyway..... The amount of models sparky had made, he should have thought about this before he modelled in the program he has..... Like i say, nice model sparky, a credit to you, but if you knew you were going to have this problem, then why did you bother doing it in zmod?

In that case, i won't map it. I think you are capable enough to map, and i also think your capable enough of getting the right program too.
