I has received it and put your ratings on, so you're good to go. Very Happy

Packer did you get my ratings for my entry?

It's the latter. And seeing as the request hasn't been taken up yet, I'm practically panicking to find somebody right now...

I might allow some people an extra day or two past the deadline to get their stuff in if they've shown serious interest in joining.
I have a request in the thread, but no one's taken it yet. In the event that no one does, is there any other way that I could get a truck in to you?

Well, if you're not that good at painting but still want to get a truck to me before the deadline, a white truck with black numbers or vise versa will suffice as well. But if you have a request, I'll allow an extra day for someone to paint the truck.

Speaking of which, the deadline for getting your stuff in is TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT. If you haven't sent me anything as far as ratings or trucks go, your entry will be removed, because you've had ample time to get your stuff in. If you've gotten your ratings or truck in but still need time for one or the other, I'll allow you until MIDNIGHT TOMORROW to get your stuff in.

Ok, thanks! I don't actually have NR2003 though, so I'm still dependent on someone taking the request.

by Rykia Fri Feb 15, 2013 9:00 pm

Okay. Anyone who has requested a truck up to this point and has no one painting it, I will get it. If anyone posts a request after this, DO NOT EXPECT ME TO GET IT.

It'll probably be run in the next couple of days. Don't have an exact date yet, though.

Certainly. You can do as many as you like if ya want. Cool

Update: I have everyone's trucks, but I'll need ratings for these drivers...

88 - Cade Taylor & Luc Pellerin
1 - Joseph Austin
04 - Joshua Michaels

I'm planning on running the Daytona race later today, so if you don't want your trucks to be at Derek Dudding speed, please send your ratings in ASAP.

Also, there is a spot open on the full-time roster, so if there's anyone that doesn't have a truck already that's interested in joining, shoot me a rated truck and you'll be good to go.

Packer, I already sent you my ratings a long time ago.

And I want the last full-time slot Very Happy

The free version only lets you record for 30 seconds at a time and puts a watermark in the video.

by gwoodard41 Mon Mar 11, 2013 10:52 am

Meh, if you can make black bars large enough to cover the watermark to create a 'widescreen' effect, which is what Cynon does for the TMMC and TM Lights races that he records... it should be fine.

by Milan655 Mon Mar 11, 2013 12:42 pm

Older versions of fraps are free. There is one on a Germanic website, I cannot remember which.

ATLANT-X 150 @ DAYTONA PRE-RACE REPORT: NEW RACE DIRECTOR LAYS DOWN THE LAW

During the pre-race festivities for the season opening Atlant-X 150 at the Daytona International Speedway, new ARLA Tornado Alley Truck Series race director Eric Derenberger stated that this season, officials will be tougher on sloppy driving.

ERIC DERENBERGER: The Tornado Alley Truck Series has been pretty lax on fail driving in the past, but that won't be the case this year. We will start cracking down on sloppy driving this year, and it begins at Daytona. Doesn't matter who you are. If you drive like an idiot, expect us to give you a good talking to this season.

I've got a full version of FRAPS and the full version of Vegas 11 so I'm gonna offer to help with a race or two. Do I get to pick which ones or do you want to decide?

by racingfreak1999 Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:08 pm

Okay, here is the situation. I had the Daytona video almost completed until my trial of Vegas expired. You're probably thinking the obvious solution is to torrent it, but I've never liked doing that in first place. I'm currently thinking of other alternatives, but I'm not going to be able to finish the video in a decent enough timetable. So here is what I may do. I have about 3 more minutes of commentary to complete and I still have the clips saved. I can record the remaining commentary and if anybody has Vegas, I can send the video project and the audio clips in a zip file and someone can put it together from there if anybody is willing to do it. This may not be the best solution, but it's something, right. This also means that I am not going to be able to do any videos until I can get another editing program. I apologize to everyone that has been waiting for me to post the race and thank you for waiting as long as you guys did.

Lone Star Supercell (If I can find the track) and Grand Detour, I think I can lend some help to Racingfreak1999 and finish his video.

Something you can do while searching for a new editing program is open up the .veg Daytona video in Movie Maker and render it, then finish it and render it again. That's what I did with the RROL Daytona video last year.

That actually sounds like a good idea. I may do that just to finish what little I have left of the video. How would I do that? Movie Maker says it doesn't support the file type.

Hmm...I coulda sworn it worked for me. scratch

I may have rendered it in Vegas then imported it in Movie Maker...I'll talk to you on TS about it if you'll be on later.

Will I be needing the tracks with specialized mip files (like the shameless plug ISRA billboards that have been edited over the normal ones) or can I just use the unedited track?

you can use whichever one you want, the only reason why some of us have the ISRA/GOMA Billboards is because it's the only track we have.
