My Finest Moment - On video!

[Iron_Maiden]

okay...i'm quite new to LFS.

But today, I think I did something that most super experienced LFS legends can appreciate...and gasp at...

Simply, I made a genuine overtake that, felt to me like it was genuinely great, really bloody great...

i'll try not to gloat anymore...and thanks to the other driver involved...I have total respect for your clean and skilled defence...

here it is - Lap 3, going into the sweeping corner under the big tyre thing at Blackwood...Formula XR...

When I did it it was like slow motion...

To appreciate it, you really need to be onboard with me...

Use the custom view to get an F1 style, roll bar camera view...it looks increadble like this...honestly, please take the time to see it like this...

sorry again for gloating...

you will need to view it as a multiplayer replay in the game I think...

happy viewing! :thumb:

preety good divebomb, even though he was a lot slower.
for a new player u seem to be on the right track.
practice some more and in a few months when you see this thread again, i guess you will smile. :)
healthy smile of someone that progressed a lot (hopefully).
race on.


ps: for semi-experienced/onwards, there is nothing really to see here. this might save sometime :)

[Iron_Maiden]

sorry guys...but I was so happy that I made it stick, that I almost spun it later on not consentrating...

you need to see it in the view i mentioned...it looks trully spetacular....

I saw him go wide and get sideways up ahead...and I knew he was gona have poor grip for the next few corners...

I made sure I was fast though the chicane and went for a run down the inside into the next corner...he saw it coming and blocked me off...but I wasnt about to back down...he left me just enough room, he was squeezing me quite a bit...but I held in there...

then the moment of glory....

sorry again...but I have bee playin for just over a week and this is the greatest thing I ever done...

heeheehee

[Iron_Maiden]

take a look anyway!

with the onboard cam the way I explained!, you cant see what both drivers were doing in the following cam....

[Dan Hot]

yeah it looked ok :thumb:

[Iron_Maiden]

sorry if i'm going overboard on this...but that was the first pass I made where I had to think, and be super brave to pull off...

most times I tried to pass someone i usually ends in a big crash....this guy knows how to defend...and he said himself he thought he had me covered...

For those too lazy to download the replay, i recorded the pass from two angles. In car and exterior. I also added some Iron Maiden tunes in the background, and some little effects :D Hope you dont mind Iron Maiden.

Nice Vid Vendetta. And hey, I actually thought it was a pretty good pass. And you're happy with yourself, and that's the most important thing. Keep having fun and keep improving :thumb:

[Iron_Maiden]

F#*k YES!...Thats fantastic, cheers man...I like the view you got...how you do that?

[avih]

Nice pass mate. I wish you many more of those ;)

[Fetzo]

practice a little more, drive on the right servers and you will have dozens of such manoveurs each evening. :)

[deggis]

F#*k YES!...Thats fantastic, cheers man...I like the view you got...how you do that?
Shift + U

Practice a little more and you will get to this stage:

Then overtaking is no big deal... having 4 cars in 0.04s (S1, GTi@Blackwood, Sector 1 of the first lap - 4 cars abreast on the back straight) is something from another planet. :thumb:

[Barroso]

naaah 4 cars into the turn after the straight is something :D

[SlamDunk]

I remember my first 'bumper to bumper' > 'door to door' pass :) The feeling I got from it was maybe the biggest reasons why I love LFS so much.

[axus]

naaah 4 cars into the turn after the straight is something :D That was indeed quite a psychotic moment in that race... :D

[Iron_Maiden]

I remember my first 'bumper to bumper' > 'door to door' pass :) The feeling I got from it was maybe the biggest reasons why I love LFS so much.

yeah...its so much better playing against human oponents who can really fight you...then when you do something you feel like a legend...

especially on LFS because its so bloody hard...

It felt so good becuase the other driver was really trying mega had to keep me back...I can race well, but I've never forced a pass on somebody like I did there...most passes I make come from drivers spining off...I can only win if I get the lead at the start and keep it...maybe now I be a bit more agressive...

Because I was the victim that wasn't such a great moment. But funny thing is that he did a fastest lap after that. Ugly trick. :D I actually laughed. That just looked so funny. I think he passed 4-5 cars.

[DasBoeseC]

Mahlzeit.....

The great thing about LFS is that you will continue to experience these great moments.....they even get better the better your driving gets.....going through 3-4-5 corners side by side with an opponent is simply so amazing :)

your video doesnt work....????

were you really the guy..?

fair play indeed, ots of drivers would just take me out...you made it hard...but not unfair...

as for going through corners side by side, i'm not so amazed..i've been doing this for a while...it normally ends in tears...

I like this move becuase I forced it...he defended really hard but I still made it...

[deggis]

your video doesnt work....????
install this: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Koepi_XviD.htm

were you really the guy..?
No. I don't know have ever even met on the servers. My video is a whole another story. :D

[Iron_Maiden]

Neo?

you were all over him too...but you had a spin...hehe...

at least one of got him eh?...


edit: eh? my reply makes no sense....swear I read that you said you were the white car...

[deggis]

edit: eh? my reply makes no sense....swear I read that you said you were the white car...
Yup I said... before I edited it. I misunderstood your last reply. My video doesn't have anything to do with your video (except that those are both recorded from LFS :D).

[mrbogeyman]

pulling off an over-take after battling with someone for serveral laps can be so satisfying! especially if they are at a similar level to your own. ive had some great battles in the past.

it makes it so much more satisfying and worth the effort if you get just one good overtaking maneouver in a race, even if its for the penultimate place!

watch out for a racer called 'rael', he is a proper git to overtake! he is/was a racer in real life, and he can block so well. i can remember racing him on BL1 in S2 demo days, i was over a second a lap faster than him, but he could hold me off all day if he wanted to! i learned alot racing against him! racing line/track position is sooooo important.

How do I turn a replay into a video?

You forgot to blur the parts inside the wings ;)

[Iron_Maiden]

my view of the pass...with nice external shot at the end...

[SparkyDave]

great pics !

Have you tried shift F ? combined with shift U and some AA really nice quality pics can be pulled from the replays :

http://i24.imagethrust.com/i/86579/pic1.jpg (http://www.imagethrust.com)

Hopefully the first of many great racing passes Iron grats:)
its a great feeling having laps of close fights , and with racers that you know well it becomes very immersive :D and of course great fun .

SD.

[Iron_Maiden]

what does shift F do..?

cool pics everyone...

[SparkyDave]

what does shift F do..?

removes all the clocks laptimes and other data on screen .
Toggles on /off

SD.

[deggis]

Shift+F and FSAA combined with Shift+U. Default replay angles are mostly boring. :)

[deggis]

No it isn't possible AFAIK. Don't know if it's possible with LFS Movie Maker? http://cgi.ihardcastle.free-online.co.uk/mm (that page doesn't seem to work at now)

look now, is that better. :)
