What is with these Top Gear "remakes" in LFS? None of the cars in LFS are anything near to what Top Gear reviews.

No offense to you, of course, but these things are a big corny IMO.

LFS as a sim, FRAPS to capture the movies, VirtualDub to split the movies into frames, PHOTOSHOP to edit the frames, PREMIERE to put the frames into a movie, VirtualDub to compress the movie images/smilies/smile.gif

That was very well done images/smilies/biggrin.gif But I have a few questions. What did you use to compile the Top Gear credits? Were there very many visual enhancements? And was there a custom driver?

You mean the intro? That is also only premiere+photoshop. The colors were tweaked quite a lot, except for the Stigs lap - only "small" color adjustments there. And I used hires suit texture by Tonix for the driver (the model was default)

That was great... And even a lap from the STIG. The top gear track was very well done.

Very nice, but does that mean you had to do a frame by frame job with the video?
