Hell, it's a crap to paint a swiss car. The white cross is very much uncreative :D Anyway, here's the car for Team Switzerland based on Maikel's SMD-300 shape. Uploaded with ImageShack.usby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I was on p6 before Copeman spinned me by trying to overtake with this impossible maneuver So Raymond, if you really need to crash into someone, please choose Copeman next time :Dby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
John Maverick rushes through the pitlane after he stopped his car in the "park fermée"...looking around for somebody...and finally finds the person he's looking for: "Copeman! What the f*** was that? Did nobody tell you that you CAN'T pass another car in this corner??? That ruined my whole race! He tries to control himself and then goes to his teammate John Warrinby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
5th is ok. It 's a good position to fight for a podium in the feature race. Althought I expected us to be a little faster. Especially JW (John Warrington) is very slow again. On the one hand I'm glad to be the quicker man again, but on the other side I'd like us to be a lot faster as a team! It seems that we all have to do some night shifts in the next daysby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I didn't want to force myself into this. I just recognized the Greidanus typo this morning and decided to create an excel file for my personal use. And to speed up the coverage I fully checked the perf and pointed out the mistakesby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Ok! But as he gets 1 championship point for that it has to count for IDE's perf file, doesn't it?by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Corrections of mistakes in the perf-file: Ruben Greidanus, 16101, 589, 16132, 688 IDE, 783, 803, 798 At the Starter Perf file van Dijck is "First Driver" and Horvath is "Second Driver", now it's switched. Depends on how the MOD is created if they have to be reswitched or not! @Paolo As Marko already said the points are divided by 6. Your team got 1by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I'm pretty sure there are some mistakes in the perf file. I'm having a look at it, atm. So better wait with hosting the raceby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Well, I suppose Phil (msater) means the Arai GP-5 RC from Maikel (MDBSnake). You can find it here!!! There are three versions of the helmet: 1. Wing - 2. no Wing - 3. wing??? - visor transparent I prefer option 1 as it looks best, IMO. But I have to admit that it's easier to convert textures which are painted on Arai 2005 shape to the no wing version than to the wing one. So maby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Painting of the Swiss car from me will have to wait until my new equipment (mainboard, cpu, RAM) arrives. Unfortunately my desktop computer isn't running (for already 3 weeks now!!! I'm about to go insane ) But if the stuff arrives on monday, I should be able to paint the car up to next Friday. I suppose that's not too late? And btw: Which helmet shape will we use? Sorry if I mby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I tend to use Maikel's W300 or SMD-09a shape, depends on which template is better to paintby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I'd like to join as Switzerland please.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
John Maverick spoke to german tv station RTL directly after the qualifying Reporter: Hello John. Time for a few questions? JM: Sure. Go ahead! Reporter: In general, what do you say to this qualifying? JM: Well, unfortunately we weren't able to improve the car, so that - in the end - we have one solid and one horrible result. Reporter: I suppose you mean 19th place of Adam Davies?by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
My new graphics card still isn't there yet. So I'm out for this weekend. But next one should be possible. Btw, have I already said that I hate the Swiss Post?by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Sorry for the double post, but this one doesn't really fit in my press-release: Just to ensure that once and for all, to whom do we have to send the boost requests this year, GPGSL-Account or Stu? The rules say Stu, the post says GPGSL...and last season it was the GPGSL although the rules said Stu. I suppose it's still the GPGSL-Account but I want to ensure it once more.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
John Maverick's statement after the FP in Melbourne Well, I'm more or less satisfied with the result of today's practice. The first 15-20 minutes were great. The car was pretty good, better than I thought before driving the first round. And the 2nd place at this time was what I had hoped for. But then something really crazy happened. The more grip the track got, the worse the caby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I'd do it, but unfortunately the graphics card of my main computer burned out a few days ago and the new one isn't there yet. If nobody else still has the S4 Mod, I can try to dismantle my hard disk and get a connection to my notebook....but I'd prefer somebody else to send itby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Very nice design. I would only add a writing at the top of the visor. But the rest looks very nice.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
And I asked you to send the .psd files of the other helmet back to me as soon as you're done with that. As you didn't yet, I changed the design. As soon as I get the other files from you, I'll try to convert the sponsors as good as possible on this helmet! And thanks very much for the compliments to Mal and all the othersby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
This is my new helmet for GPGSL. Painted and rendered by myself. Unfortunately Poser isn't very famous for rendering, so sorry for the poor quality. Haven't figured out yet how to work with Maya.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
This'll be my S5 helmet for GPGSL. It's far from perfect but ok for now. The helmet stuff texture is wrong, that's a problem of my rendering software, haven't figured out yet how to solve it. So sorry for thatby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
John Maverick Helmet Release This'll be my new helmet for S5. Far from perfect, but I'm more or less satisfied with it, for now at least. The helmet stuff textures are wrong, haven't figured out yet how to deal with that problem in my new rendering-software. The helmet is with private sponsors only. Team sponsors will be included before the start of the season. @Mal: The .by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
But Germany was always and is again a tournament team. I've hardly seen a good preparation period of them. But at the tournament they were always competitive. It will definitely become an exciting match. And both teams can win...in my opinion these are the two best teams in the tournament so far. But if Germany is able to keep the Argentinian strikers out of the game and offensively plays liby JohnMaverick - Other Sports
These are really great liveries. Brilliant work Nathan. What program do you do the renders with? I'm a real fan of these mirror-effects on the ground, but don't know how to do them.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I like it, Paolo. The only thing I wonder about is why the "hans" sign is visible in your air inlet Don't worry, that was rhetorical. And I find that Paolo Helmet Design logo a bit annoying. IMO it would be placed better at the side end of the helmet. But anway, good work.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Very nice livery, Maikel. Mostly simple but with some nice extra lines and effects. I like it, even though I get the feeling that this year's grid could become a little yellowish. Anyway, I love this worms at your rear wing. Especially the one with the flag in his hand, they're so cute!by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Hey bazza_racer, Paolo (senna9194) is right, but to explain that a bit more in detail: In ZModeler press button "E" to open the material editor. At the top end of this new window you can choose which part of the object (in your case the helmet) you want to manually assign a texture to. Choose "driver1_1.tga" and then press - a bit downwards - on the button next to "Prby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

To get the discussion of a showrace for the teams on the waiting list out of the Team Launch Thread, I'll post this here. I would be able as well to help with this, create a perf file, change the MOD and run the event. The only problem that I have, is that I can't change the amount of cars on track. And as we don't have 11 teams on the waiting list anymore (and not half of them preby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
