LX6 and RB4 updated?

[Sp3cTr3]

Anyone know or read if the LX6 and RB4 will get updated for the new patch? I recall something about people not wanting to spend time skinning these cars as they were not updated :shrug:

[DeXteRrBDN]

yes, I remember they said UF GTR, LX and RB4 would be updated at some point

[Hallen]

I had not heard they were being changed any. The models in the CMX viewer look the same to me, but I have not tried to drop any skins on them yet.

[Hallen]

Shame about the UFR especially, such a fun car but nobody drives it because it's so ugly.

It does not matter to me what the car looks like... too much. The problem is that all the races that I have been in include both the UFR and the XFR. The XFR is much faster than the UFR, so there you go. I like the UFR better, but I like to stay competitive too.

I'd like to see the back of the daft roofless version of the UF1000.

[loopingz]

Tyre will change for all cars !

Always happy to oblige :D

in CMX Viewer tyres are the same old ones for road cars. By default I guess.

All the models except FOX and FO8 are the same old too. :( If devs aren't keeping anything as a secret (GTR cockpits?!) until the release I don't understand what the hell Eric have been doing. Over six months and only 2 new track configs, one new car, some minor gfx improvements and 2 new cockpits? :shrug:

And significant physics updates? :really:

[JJ72]

that ain't eric's job.

How'bout workin' on S3 perhaps?

VIEWER_README.txt
NOTE 1 : RB4, LX4, LX6, UFR and HEL models are expected to be updated
between now and the final S2 release, and this may affect your skins.

[JJ72]

LOL what is in S2 IS part of S3 content anyway.

As said before, iirc Eric has moved into another house. That costs some time of you life too you know.

[CharlieP]

Either Eric has had some relaxation time ;)

or

He's spent most of his time working on a new track ?! :D

If it's the new track, then it might be something BMW/Sauber asked for .... which would be something special I think.... :scratchch

[Fetzo]

Clue: No they haven't changed. Shame about the UFR especially, such a fun car but nobody drives it because it's so ugly.

no one drives it, because the xfr is easier to control and faster. same goes for gti/gt and fxo/gtt+rb4.

[wark]

Why work on S3 before S2 reaches beta?

[sinbad]

Always happy to oblige :D

Hawhahwahaw very good. I knew what was coming and yet I still clicked the attachment :)

[maczo]

Well, not always. On some tracks it is very easy to flip the XFR, and also tracks with not-so-long straights make it possible to have a close race. I hope some day the UFR will have some visible advantage in twisty parts, then it would be a nice balance among the two cars.

[deggis]

I heard that but notice that Eric basicly redid the FOX and FO8 cockpits in 3 days. First the day 3 upated had the LCD dashes that looked like paper and then with the Blackwood guru teaser (day 6) the screenshots of the day 3 got suspiciously updated to much better looking ones. I don't think this was intentionally. So it can't be a huge job to update some cockpits.

[Cropsy]

If that is the case I doubt no one will be driving the BF1 when it's released ;)

May be tyres look the same but tyre physic has been updated for all cars...

[Tukko]

easier to control?! :pillepall UFR is zillion times easier and more fun to drive with, can't even get that XFR crap out of pits without flipping it :really: it's a shame XFR is so much faster on straights.. hope that will be fixed soon.

And kev.. UFR is not ugly, it's just.. ehm.. different (like th) :D

[deggis]

So? I was only talking about the models, which is Eric's job.

[Fetzo]

@tukko:
i think the short wheelbase makes the ufr more difficult to control. i have to admin, that i haven't driven the xfr very much.

it's my choice in the xfr/ufr-class. the car is indeed big fun.
and i think it looks cooler than the xfr :).

[Hyperactive]

To be honest, the UFR doesn't even look like as it would be able compete with the XFR.

And the fact that they released the S version of the cmx viewer might suggest that we won't aget ANY updates to the cars/interiors in the next patch either.

But why not tell us that they aren't going to get updated so we (the community) could start making our own dashboards and stuff (mostly textures) for the cars? Or is it one of the "secrets" as well. Or can't they comment because there is nothing to comment about? :(

Still, an F1 car is the top of motorsport and as such a great addition to the cars we already got. Hope they finish the current car models some day ;)

[Resound]

I had not heard they were being changed any. The models in the CMX viewer look the same to me, but I have not tried to drop any skins on them yet.

There are a few little refinements to a lot of them and they look higher poly in some areas too. I've got a couple of little hiccoughs with my skins, especially the XRR and FXR but nothing serious.

[PwrSlave]

HI! Some of you have been talking about where is the big secret. If so, then what is the 2006 F1 BMW Sauber in your eyes? Is this not the big enough suprise for you all? For me, i'm dying to get the hands on that car lol, eventhough i'll probably be trashing it in like every other corner. So relax. Besides it is NOT easy to get into partnership with a F1 company and in my eyes thats the biggest candy i could have ever imagined out of this patch. So should you, rather then moaning about them cockpits that are really not that important, be happy to experiance something that fast in the best sim there is. Really.

Just out of interest: Did you use the masterskinnerz templates? Where are the errors? I just looked through my public skins but I couldn't find anything strange...?
