Screenshots: Im bored of seing always the same scenario (this downhill with the house in the left)
Videos: Too bad quality, 1,5mb each one. I like the music. And it is shown to you some pre-made cars because it is the demo. I liked to see that asian girl again, in loading page

fender widening that a good feature but whats side joke?

What is exactly "fender widening"?? I dont understand this expression. Please try to explain me in other words. Thanks

widebody x · Post by **widebody x** » 08 Sep 2004, 20:49

fenders are these 'things' on a car heres a pic of one

Post by **TheStig** » 09 Sep 2004, 01:23

if you want to see some good widened fender... look at the audi's

compare the RS6 with the A6... and you will see it...

advantage: more agressive look and more important you can fit wider tires wich in the real world is a good thing...

btw widebody did you use a translator for this... cause there are some rather easy words not translated...

maybe the sidejokes are a translate error...

Im looking for it on google and on the germa EA site

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 09 Sep 2004, 12:08

Thanks widebody, I get it!
Yeah it is an excellent feature. As I said (and some other users) I think we will be able to make our "own widebodys" by parts.
About the german translation I could ask my mother, she was born in Germany and she is a german teacher

What are floodlights & side jokes? I'd also like to see a police station, since we are in a city... If there's Burger King, there must be a police station somewhere in the city...

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 09 Sep 2004, 15:58

floodlights = neons

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 09 Sep 2004, 16:28

lol.... there must be a police station if there is a burger king... hahahha maybe they have a mcdonalds, since it was advertised in nfsu1.... as long as the city looks like a city, im happy.... i hope there are side roads too1!!!

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 09 Sep 2004, 17:34

Floodlights are not neon's ^Sparco^.... Floodlights are the bright lights you see people put on Jeeps and Trucks and stuff, or the really big lights that go on rally cars.

Least that's my definition of them.

And there are sideroads(short cuts), pretty much like in U1, cept it's all free roam. Which is hella fun to drive BTW, even in the demo where they only have 1 part of the city open.

widebody x · Post by **widebody x** » 09 Sep 2004, 17:48

theres no point of a police station without police

I can't even see the crowds in NFSU1, so maybe NFSU2 won't even work.

Hell i also got gf4mx. I hope nfsu2 will work on this card. I cannot afford buying for ex gf fx 5600

... but probably nfsu2 will look like nfsu1 on gf2mx (non-round wheels et).

Post by **TheStig** » 10 Sep 2004, 06:49

Common... this is not a GFX card TOPIC... stop bringing up these things about what a card can and can't DO...

Probably a mistranslation of Side Skirts

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 10 Sep 2004, 17:31

Ahh true I never thought of that. It is just a translation, and things like BabelFish don't really translate things properly, just literally. You have to understand that sentences don't come out right and things like that. It's possible that the translator read it as floodlights and side jokes, and it really means NEON and SIDE SKIRTS.

good thinkin KI
