Had a bit of a play in the 458 GT3 last night (once I decided on which of H3rtz's liveries to pick). Forgot how good of a car this was too.

I have this 1:18th Exoto at home:



Reckon I'll try to create this for Forza now.
Doesn't look like it'll be too hard, and the Michelin Man is probably fairly easy!

[BADNED]

Yeah, I know about the limitation. I actually meant that once they'll have sorted that out then they'll automatically "unlock" new potential manufacturers to be added to the already very long list. I'm betting on 800+ cars from 100+ manufacturers raced on 150+ layouts tracks being the marketing speech of FM5. Speaking of manufacturers, I wonder why Sköda isn't part of the game yet. They have the RS line and rallying background as well. Being part of VW, you would think that it would be easy to get the licence, maybe Turn 10 doesn't know that they exist... :D

Track selection in RP is fantastic too - pity Atari has never dropped the price of the DLC but I think the DLC is well worth the MS points.

I didn't even think to look for track DLC on Race Pro. You've just made my day!

Anyone feeling like some variety between now and the release of FM5 should give this game a go. It's the best £5 I've ever spent.

I'll gift you the Michelin man tonight.

My current livery attempt has met its first adversary: the fact that the R8 is a shitty thing to paint with those massive black air dams ;-(

...who doesn't have a PC. I do, so I bought the Race Injection pack with all the other add-ons that it didn't include. Cost me $30 :)

Be prepared for:
Shit graphics
Sublime physics
Abysmal graphics
Tight races
Awful graphics
Great audio
Terrible graphics
Believable AI
Shoddy graphics
Superb track selection
PS2 graphics
Exciting races
Very poor presentation

You get the idea..?

(PS put it on the hardest setting. It's still pretty easy, unfortunately)

I certainly do, but that's not everything to me.

Is wheel necessary or will the pad suffice?

Dunno, never played it with a pad. The FFB is pretty weak using my GT2, but the steering accuracy and overall feel is great.

[SarBear]

??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



Don't even toy with my emotions!!

[saladine1]

Fuck me, I knew I should have taken my 360 with me. The C9 and the T16... :o

You on holidays G Rom?

[TJP]

There is a work around for this - plug the wheel into the second controller port from memory. A few people posted on the RaceRoom forums their Fanatec wheel settings - http://www.raceroom.net/forums/index...ic,1652.0.html

RP track DLC includes Estoril, Okayama, Spa, Mid Ohio (3 versions), Road America & Imola and quite a few cars. Atrai reps talked of Nurburgring DLC prior to dropping their support 3 minuets after release. Ignore the DLC sizes of 1.5+ GB - they are half the listed sizes to DL but about that once installed.

I didn't think the graphics in RP were that bad it's a rough looking game but it's way better than PS2 level but nowhere near the Xbox best of a Codemasters game, Forza 4 or PGR 4

Going to post some more (old) photos and will start with a request from evil_as_skeletor

Oh sweet, cheers man.

Oh bummer. Looks like a few of them would be a pain with air dams, vents and stuff.

[evil_as_skeletor]

OK,
Here's my WIP of the APR R8 LMS - still a bit to do like the roof decal and smaller sponsor ones.

It's a bit of a pain to get right whilst wrestling with vinyl placement anomalies, but I think I am happy with how it's looking so far.

Thought I would post a few shots just to let you know what's up.









Cheers, Erin

EXCELLENT! I've been looking for a properly done version of that. Some on the SF, a few better than others, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, the Audi has several glitches/areas that make it a pain.
Tough thing about doing window banners on top of unpaintable ones, it can make the window look way too big and goofy. Sometimes it just looks better to leave it off.

Looks great so far man!

[SarBear]

Oh yea, you cottage cheese eatin motherfuckers, she's coming!

[H3rTz DoNuT]

Great job on Audi paint evil_as_skeletor, you should keep it on this car, even though you can't paint the carbon parts you won't find a better car for this paint.

Here is my huge progress on the McLaren lol The last piece to the puzzle just scares the shit out of me :D

Goo tip! Yeah, I've considered turfing the banner, it just won't look right.
Why put space there if its unpaintable!!!

There are a few areas that aren't "spot-on", but a lot of areas have been made to work, rather than being a true replica.

I hope it's good enough!

Thanks for the comps!

Most of the time, it looks just fine, just look at HD's Ferrari and McLarens. Here's an example of where it doesn't look so good, I did the Team NFS on the BMW Z4 at release. Just made the window look way too big from various angles.


But I've done 2 Audi LMS paints where I did the banner above it. Just depends on the livery and car I guess. Really looking forward to seeing that Audi done Evil.


HD- I still can't believe you're doing that one, talk about a difficult paint. Man. That seems like it'd take a really long time, plus the layer count max... damn!

Is that bad boy up in your storefront... :-)

Yeah, I figured if it's blacked out, I'd rather just leave it. Sometimes it looks ridiculous.

My pet peeve is how many cars "rear bumper" areas are unpaintable. The most obvious spot, the license plate area, in most cars is a void. It really gets me...

I just hope it lives up you your expectations.

Yes it sure is, and a version with or without banners. And 2 24hr Nurb Audis, 2 24hr LMS cars, 2 Belgian Vipers, and 4 Race Pro replicas too*

And don't worry, your Audi already looks great!

[H3rTz DoNuT]

250 layers left to finish the rest lol I'm gonna sweat really hard on this one :D I might have to remove the Michelin man to make it work, we'll see.

Geez, that's unreal! Looks like an incredible amount of work..


Quick question, the custom text you do, running-writing stuff, that's all made of basic shapes too, yeah?

Yeah, everything is made of shapes in Forza :)In game font just ruins the paint, don't use it.

just stumbled upon this vid.

now that's what Fm5 should look like (well, at least autovista / homespace please ?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogQZE4yXBcY

[evil_as_skeletor]

99% Done.

Man, this car really pissed me off. Unpaintable areas, vinyl stretching areas, asymmetrical modelling, layer limits...you name it.

It's good enough, but, I am not 100% happy with it in its entirety...

I'll hopefully have it up for you to grab tomorrow night.

Holy shit.

I've picked up all of your 12C GT3 designs, HD, and have been hard-pressed to pick a favorite, although I was leaning towards the Mobil 1 fantasy livery. "Was" being the operative word; this one might be your best work yet. Absolutely stunning, my friend.

In other news, another month, another amazing car pack, but even though this one includes the almighty C9, it's getting difficult for me to get hyped for more rides in the absence of even a single new track, but I take it that's what the "TBA" on BADNED's DLC overview is for, lolamirite?

Oh, re: Zonda F:

Considered only in the early days of FM2 but then they acquired the Zonda R and so it was left on the list. But minds can change if the demand from the fans rises.

Get rising with the demand, you bums!

[Liquidsnake]

Sounds like it's been a PITA, but the result is awesome! Looking great, can't wait to pick it up.

evil_as_skeletor ,you have a private message sir ;)

SarBear, I have it on my "to do" list, it will get done soon, probably after the weekend along with the Corvette. I'm not gonna do the Lexus cause Raudi did it and it's fine quality, unless he took it off his storefront then I will make one.

Deadpool, you have a private message as well ;)

Don't think I can buy another MP4-12C, so I think I'll use this one in favour of the white MOBIL livery you did, I prefer this one I think :)

Great work again.

Thank you sir.
