FZR Antenna

[AtomAnt]

Seen what looked like the TIGER TAIL ESSO fuels used to give away hanging from a guys FZR Antenna today, It also had the winage effect when the car was moving, If anyone can tell where to mod that in the FZR skin i'd be most grateful.

[Tweaker]

:confused: I am lost somewhere in that post Ant..... heheh.

[tristancliffe]

An aerial mod that moves with the wind? I think you must be smoking something there...

[AtomAnt]

Well I'm not the only one who seen it so...I swear to god......the guy had what looked like a ribbion or something on his aerial on the FZR......and yes it moved just as a real one would with the car moving.

I'm wondering if we had the pleasure of having one of the DEVS by our server..makes sense it would be an unreleased interieor file such as the one for XR_GT TURBO in S1.....was able to change tail lights, headliners and such.

Problem is....he didn't finish the race so I have no record of his LFS name. I'll see if HALLEN has it recorded on the server..best MOD i've seen yet.

Thanks for your time tweak..and Hi tristan.....keep them posts coming bud...yah always make me laugh.

[bbman]

You're sure you haven't dreamt this? Because as far as I know, you have the mod installed too to see it... :really:

[GT VIRUS]

Lost, i dont blame anyone. The antenna cannot be freely skinned but it does have something in a dds i think which u can use to change it. I dont think it can be modded either, sober up!

You can't. It's a myth, just like nessie, bigfoot, yeti and Reinhold Messner...

[Gunn]

I thought I saw an XRT with Elvis at the wheel .... but I can't be sure.

[XCNuse]

i think i've spotted the stig a few times... then again.. they all kinda looked like the stig .. hm..

Nessie a myth? Good grief man, thats libel! I'll have my lawyers on to you, you young ruffian!

Next someone will claim that Mr Christmas is 'made-up' too... This is why forums will never work - people make silly claims like that, or that trees DO make sounds when they fall even if no-one is there to hear them.

<Tuts>

Ok got it figured out..it is not a mod.....it's a simple silly trick that can give the appearence of having a ball on the antenna of the FZR.

The guy used ASCII code 0183 as his player name....it centers a small dot right above the tip of the antenna on the FZR.....and when approaching the car from the rear (with NAMES ABOVE CARS ON) it does give the effect of a ball on the antenna.
Because the names above cars shifts around while the car is moving, it also appears that the antenna bends.
I'm sure anyone would notice it for what it was if you followed the guy for a lap....but heck I was just blowing by him every so often as I lapped him.

Thanks for all the great laughs in this thread.

[Gunn]

Ahhh, the plot thinnens, excellent work Holmes. :detective

[Lautsprecher[NOR]]

ASCII code 0183Would you mnd post what that looks like? I Don't know how to write ASCII. :(

[tristancliffe]

Press Alt+0183 => ·

Rofl this got a chuckle out of me this morning :D

[Lautsprecher[NOR]]

I want the tub of smarties.

[Tweaker]

Hmmm... must be a bug of the forces view or something showing the wind speed. Because that color looks like something from it.

(If this is real of course)

[tristancliffe]

No, it's a · in the player name Tweak (read the posts above) ;)

[Tweaker]

Oh lol. The infamous dot!

Heh I had one in my old name \/

[XCNuse]

looks like he got the ball from pong stuck on his antenna lol

[al heeley]

It's so uncanny how that green dot looks just like one of those esso tiger tails trailing from the top of the antenna, isn't it? Bobbing up and down in the wind.....LOL. Move on guys. Nothing here to see.

[Gunn]

Hmmm, now what was the ASCII for fluffy dice? :scratchch

[AtomAnt]

Hey very funny on my dime, Least I figured it.....Watson ? What say you?

I once got a bag of Gummie sharks from OZ......unlike the Tube of smarties..Hey I'm from Canada..Smarties come in a box, they're like M&M's or are you talking those hard rolled candies you guys get over there call smarties?

One last point, was dec of 2003 , I asked a question about putting my music choices to S1....lots of smart replys ....but Tweak did me good....gave me info....was most helpful.

I'm a 40,000 mile driver here and still get no respect...but I built a team..
try this
MRT NO PITTING this Sunday ......look under NASSA.........bring a friend.

Tweak always has respect......cause he earned it, no because he loves the game and helps whoever.

I want my Interior files back.

The Ant tail lights.You can still edit the interior files in S2.

[tristancliffe]

I tried to read your posts Ant, but your test colour, centralised format and general language usage just makes it so hard.

The only bit I read was about Smarties coming in a tube. In the UK they do. Our smarties are little ovals of chocolate covered in a coloured sugar coating. The tube is about 14mm diameter, and about 140mm long. The cap at one end is cardboard, whilst the other is plastic, usually with a letter of the alphabet on the inside for fun games and stuff. Hope this helps.

Please work on your posting style, especially if you want people to read what you say.

i think i've spotted the stig a few times... then again.. they all kinda looked like the stig .. hm..youve seen Perry McArthy? or Ben Collins? <img>

[XCNuse]

^ im kidding.. im pointing out how retarded everyone is that goes by the name 'the stig' i know of about 5 of them i believe..

[Jakg]

^ im kidding.. im pointing out how retarded everyone is that goes by the name 'the stig' i know of about 5 of them i believe..lol, heres more useless facts, the MC12 was actually driven by the owner of the only mc12 in the country at that point (obviously he didnt trust the stig with it! but then, in its last tv appearance, the owner crashed it into a wall, but then, it was on a snowed-over track...), if the MC12 weighs more than an enzo (i think) then how did he beat the enzo on the track? was he a better driver than Stigjamin Collins? secondly, the Stig didnt drive the f1 car, that was an italian test driver.

[XCNuse]

wtf? you lost me
what does any of that have to do with LFS
