for demo, you can download and make your own personal skins. you just dont have the autodownload/upload system in the demo I hope you have a steering wheel. There are tutorials on how to setup the game with whatever input device you have on the main forums.
lots of stuff here on the main website. http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=29
and to see some very high quality skins, tutorials, decal and texture packs. go here. http://skinnerz.proboards26.com/index.cgi
yes, you can use whatever view you like. there's incar, outside car, and topdown, as well as a custom view mode. its strange to hear that you like bird's eye view.
Thanks for the offer but I'm in a Forza mood--and I don't really have a prper controller/wheel to play it yet. I just can't get used to using the keyboard/mouse, I can wait.
I can kind of do custom skins. I can't really do anything major. Have a look at some of my works.
1. I did a CF hood and darkened headlights on my RB4
2. I made a custom "TRD" helmet. You can see what is on the front. On the 2 sides, there is a red Toyota sign, and the back has a TRD badge like the one on the front where the LFS sticker was.
3/4. Custom taillights on the RB4
5. I put a "TRD" style hood on the RB4
hello i've been a fan of gran turismo even before gt1 was released. Once i started playing LFS around 2003, i just couldnt bring myself to play GT3 anymore. and then gt4 was a step up from gt3, but still dissapointingly unrealistic. Hopefully PD steps up their game (pun intended) with gt5.
