The online racing simulator
LFS default Hires Skies Add-ons - KiD and Don
Add-ons...
this community had it for free, for years.
Others had to pay for similar stuff... and later. Im fine with both.
What i'm not fine with is morons stealing work and reposting it uncredited somewhere else, or worse getting the credit and praise for something they did not make, while mocking original makers. Even worse, all of it, part of LFS copyright.
Its funny watching people rave on rfactor and gtr forums about how cool the skies are ( "best i've seen on any sim" ), when they are either ripped from LFS default instalation zip or from 3 threads of Sky addons for LFS, however even that becomes boring after a couple of posts.
Skies were done overtime (check original locked threads for more info), with real effort from physically getting to locations to countless editing hours. Recently the lfs only usage of these skies was abused, corrupted and people were mislead by a few noob twats, that defy the concept that cheating people are usually smart. These arent, and the fact this few appear on rfactor and gtr forums at rsc is most probably just a coincidence.
RSC action took a lot of effort... from don's part. Somehow the evil doer played the angel and the non-banned author had to prove himself over and over to people who were clearly just buying time, trying to make him look bad in the process.
Can't stop to wonder if this was gtr2 copyrighted material being used in RACER for example, if action would have been swifter.
Also as a sidenote, no commercial advantages should be taken from free community contributed work, me, don or others do, i leave that for a couple of rsc head honchos. RSC mods however, even though late, did the right thing in conclusion of this small episode. However the episode sparked in don a will to repack the addons in one single pack to make it easier for people to find the hires addons in one single thread. So here it is, with added bonus of LFS DEFAULT skins by Huru-Aito, Tweak and G30RGE also in high resolution, enjoy.

I hope all the mod authors and others who abused your and dons work are banned... that sucks really, but the others are cppying from LFS all the time anyways... see racecast etc (even though thats one really crappy copy)

Good work still, and nice to have everything in one place now

Can i also ask the people who are hosting the skies packs (lfs addon databases etc), to replace it with this pack? thanks.

jakg> NOW there are no new skies, but if we create any in future, we will add it. But its worth a leech, there are hires default lfs skins.
E: ^ that clears it up
Quote from Jakg :So are these new hi-res ones?

No idea, but they look fantastic either way

What folder do you put them in as you didn't say it in your first post..illepall
#18 - Don
when you unpack the rar, it is obvious where to put it, isnt it?illepall

...since the structure in it is /data/pic and /data/skins

Can someone upload (on Rapid Share, If possibly) only Blackwood - cloudy conditions skies.

Thanks

sorry, but i dont want the skies to be "separated" from the original package - coz we might have again problems with people stealing them.
Ok, I ask for this only because I have dial-up conection, and all package is really big for me.
how do you change the rar file
How do you change the rar file.
Why do you want to 'change' the RAR file?


By the way, how do we choose the sky in-game
Quote from ferrettank :How do you change the rar file.

OMG i did totally lose it on that one...

What's wrong with people nowadays, it's so exhausting




BTW, really nice skys! I enjoy them for quite some time now and can't do without them.
Quote :how do we choose the sky in-game

You can't change anything ingame, the only way to change the look of the skies is to copy over the default files. The skies are in your LFS/data/pic folder...
