Hydra - 2005 - Month Hold

Real your recreation of hydra looks absoulutly intense! wow that looks so clean! cant wait until it is done keep up the good work!

That cobra roll looks dead on. I'm amazed at how you got the banking perfect, you can see the slight sweeping turn on your recreation and it looks exactly like the real thing. The heartlining in the banking changes in the cobra roll also looks excellent.

Of course it does, its Real. [approve]

Sorry for this question being offtopic, but how do you get your screenshots to come out so crisp and clear?

iam assuming he has his sim graphics set at 1280X1024

my fps goes down by 10 or so when i flip to that mode, but since its a screen shot, who cares if i have 2 fps.

He also probably has all the graphics set to high.

Those arent even clear. Those have been compressed beyond what I consider to be clear, there is alot of pixelation.


But IF is right. Now, I have a huge machine. But even before, I would flip settings up for Screenshots since I had no worries about FPS.


Especially since I turn off the stats. But as for stats, I max out pretty much all the time with AA and AF turned on to 4X and 8X respectivly.

Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Boo-Boo .... I got to test it!

Ya'll, I must say ... wow. You guys have no idea what work has gone into this up until this day. I think this will be classified as one of Real's best designs, period. The replica work going into this is intense and immense ... wow, just wow.

If you have any beta-testers, do you think I could test?[pshades]

I think i should get to test, as i am obviously one of the most valuable members of this forum. Just kidding BTW, its hard to tell sarcasm over the internet.

yes well Real it is looking absolutly phenominal...its so amazing how perfect that cobra roll looks, it looks so amazing...god i cant wait to ride and rate...

I can't wait till he re-does it 50 billion times, then we'll get to talk about the stunning resemblance. WHen you finish it, could you make a comparison picture?

Im not going to redo anything 50 billion times.

Also, dont expect it to be PERFECT. Theres still limited knowledge of the ride and even with some onride videos, it would still be hard. They will be flaws, Im not perfect.


However, I think this will be one of the most accurate recreations of any ride to date. Considering the complexity of the ride, I think any small innacuracy should be ignored in the least.

I don't think any small innacuracy should be ignored, just not paid attention to much.

Have fun.

Wouldnt it be a trip if that zipfile only had a video of one image? LOL I should do that at some point

No onride...thats exclusive content ya know

heh ... I am shocked that you gave this much for folks to feast on!

Well they have pictures of all of that, so why not some video to look at?

Editor stuff still isnt as impressive as the actual Sim. Not to mention from the cork on its still going to get alot of reworking.

Indeed ... nice musical selection BTW

Shoot, I'll I got was the music and no video, eh.

Ypu probably need to download DivX.

I was just comparing for example, these two;
http://nldc.interfix.net/i975 - blurry, pixelated
http://nldc.interfix.net/i2850 - really clean

I guess I should have asked, how do you get your pictures uploaded to the nldc so clean and clear?

You have to upload them sized at 640x480 I believe. Any smaller will be enlarged and you will lose quality.

oh poop, I didn't realize it did that.
