"Must have addons"
« on: July 29, 2008, 03:29:59 PM »
For all the new people to drifting or LFS in general out there, or if your looking for some good addons, I've put together this little archive of goodies to make your lfs look and feel/sound better. I will keep updating this when I have time, or find new good addons ;)

Installation
If the files you downloaded are .DDS(which most are) Unzip the file to lfs -> data -> DDS and overwrite the existing file(s). Ofcourse if you have WinRAR just drag the file from the winrar window to the DDS folder. You may want to backup the old file(s) in case you don't like the new ones.

Notes

- If you have a low spec PC and get quite a low framerate say 40fps or under, I wouldn't recommend some of the more bigger file downloads, these may slow down your framerate too much to be able to drift or learn properly as most of these textures are higher resolution (better quality) than standard.

-The list is NOT in any order.

-This list has more than one of the same textures listed, don't install two of the same texture files at the same time or the last one you overwrite with will only be shown ingame (quite obvious)

The Revolution Pack by Lynce.

This is probably one of best packs out there, Lynce has done an amazing job in improving lfs's graphics threshold, including new HD Skies, tyre treads, reflections, music and many other textures such as brake discs!  5 Star Recommended download!

-Tyre Smoke by eric1123

Download->http://www.lfs-database.com/plugins/p13_download_manager/getfile.php?categoryid=2&p13_sectionid=67&p13_fileid=72&p13_versionid=75

This smoke gives a bigger "volume" texture look to the tyre smoke in S2, a must have for us drifters.



Endless Brake Callipers by Motary (Siim)

LFS TV Director

This adds new custom camera's to use instead of default cameras, it is based on using the shift&u function. It is used mainly for Ustream broadcasting for races but can also be used by yourself.

A much better texture for brake callipers than the standard ones! :)

Very nice hi res seat for the LX
*NOTE* You can actually use this seat in the XRGT if you rename "LX_SEAT" to "seat_XRGT" although it will look a *bit* stretched but it works fine nonetheless. I may redo this seat myself with permission to fit it properly unless its already been done!

I would change the pads and brake for Siim's ones. They looked nicer and are 'more exclusive' as he only posted them here and on LFS-T. ;)

His brake discs are half the resolution, callipers are the same though (512), I'll put them up anyway.  ;)
