Hi there,

As most people selling these kind of lovely piece of hardware, I haven't been racing for quite some months, if not years

I am selling my Actlabs Force RS wheel along with the Performance pedals and the RS shifter (GPL Shifter).





All these where bought in 2003, in the US.
I mostly raced in LFS in 2003-2004 then basically stoped using these accessories... Too lazy to setup, using the mouse to race
I must emphasized that I am no "hard-core" sim-racer, please be assured that these items are not in "finished" conditions. To the contrary, I would say they are in very good condition !

Since then, they have been waiting gently packed in their original box.

In the process of selling them I just unpacked them and tried them with LFS; no problem at all, everything working as strong as ever... Brought back good memories



I currently live in Austria, however even shipping in Europe is not cheap
(Count ~30€ for the wheel (10kg) and ~20€ for the pedals (4kg) )

Including shipping, I would sell the whole pack for ~80€, or best offer ! Paypal/Bank transfer possible.
Let me know what you think here of via PM.

Cheers,



SOLD

Just to add my 2€cts to what have been said before...

I miss the old days of CRC,
I miss to be able to enter a 3 or 5 laps race, in late europe time (10PM-12PM) it is hard to find, almost impossible !
I miss close and clean driving with XF and XR,
I miss Rally-X racing.

If I want to spent 30mins-1h and having fun, it is really difficult...

Quote from bLaCk VaMpIrE :

is there any reason, why the sound doesn't work, when you're outside of the game?

Switching to DirectSound...

USB headphones ?
If you can, stay away from USB for fast streaming/audio/video/...

Ok, but then, that's a bug ! illepall

Quote from seggons :

Something i've found while playing:

When im in any gear, at the red line point you get the little red dot appear, but if you touch the clutch pedel, even slightly, the red dot goes out even though you are still jumping off the rev limiter.

My understanding is that the red dot should come on and stay on at the required shift point weather the clutch is engaged or not?

I have to investigate but I have also a similar problem, *I think* !
I also have a clutch and a H-shifter, and sometimes I am clearly *way* over-reving but the red dot is not ON (was ON a few seconds before, then for whatever reason it turned OFF)... It was not always like that... Maybe appears with S2...

Quote from Scawen :

Well I was thinking that when you load the FXO it would try to run both FXO.txt and shifter.txt

So you can choose what you want to use, and that would avoid having scripts calling scripts (which is harder to code).

Good Combining every request, we are moving slowly toward *my* request
The ideal thing for me would be to add a *single* new entry in each car settings that would point on a txt file containing various settings... The default name could be straightforward like fx0.txt, uf1.txt,...etc
The file could contains, as previously discussed, command to switch the control settings, but could also have the ability to change the view settings (FOV, angles, camera position,... for example) and other things I can't think of right now

Good stuff !!

Quote from Scawen :

OK, good, no objections so far and that's nice because I prefer to keep things simple and automatic where possible.

In fact each car will need a "gearbox type" (sequential or H shifter) and that would allow for old single seaters if one would be added in future. When I said the formula cars, I just meant the formula cars that are in LFS right now, would be the ones to have forced sequential-only boxes in the next patch.

I assume that from a coding point of view, a sequential lever and a paddle shifter are exactly the same.

I guess that is what KTy and others would like to use - shifter on road cars and sequential on formula cars, so this automatic selection system will be the best choice. Of course, you can still use sequential on all cars, just by selecting "sequential" as you do now.

Yes sir
Thank you for reading me even though I insisted a lot !
Because I didn't want to recalibrate everything, I drive the formula 1 with my H shifter

My 2cts: Every development that you make toward a *fast* immersion inside LFS is gooood for addicting people... My personal example, to play LFS, I have to install the wheel and the gearbox (Actlabs combo), so when sometimes I want to have a go but I'm lazy, I just don't play it !
The new super-fast LFS start and the future "automatic" control setting are for me important steps

Thank you again, following and supporting LFS since the *very* begining

Great

Is next step the custom control settings for each car or even for each setup ? (clutch, auto-clutch, gear stick, gear behind the wheels,...etc)

No comments on this request ?
I really need this in order to switch much faster from GTI to Formula 1...

Oh well....

Separate custom view settings for all cars
Draw driver/wheel option now in custom views
Custom views now stored in data\views folder

Quote from Tweaker :

So basically what I am saying is, the tire doesn't have a long and broad round curve when the tire flexes, it needs to have a FLAT contact patch on the ground as if it were gripping, but also be pulling to make a sideways deformation.

EDIT: Well these aren't flexing much

Cannot find a great picture, but see here:

I couldn't find any pictures, but something like 10 years ago when the Citroen Xantia with active suspension came out, they were a lot of picture of the car cornering like mad with no roll at all; You could see tires almost jumping out of the rims, *very* impressive !

Some interesting points by RIP2004...

I just want to add my 2cents saying that I am also quite frustrated for not being able to start faster with an analog clutch, without making spining the wheels, compared to flooring the pedal to the metal and making spin the wheels... I dunno if I'm doing wrong or anyhting, but I never couldn't start faster "the real way"...

Anyway, overall an excellent patch

Quote from danowat :

Ok, ok, fair enough, but ask yourself this question, if Nkpro hadnt have come out recently, would the single seater cockpits have been improved

Dan,

Yeah, probably because of BMW-Sauber pushing for better gfx aspect...

Yeah, me for example, I have analog clutch and full speed manual gearbox (Actlabs), I'm slower than everyone else everywhere, but who caresillepall, *I* am having a great fun making slip the clutch at the start, cornering and so forth...

Quote from VorTeX3k :

Guys, have a look at this: http://213.202.247.220/index.php?sid=&p=game

so i think it's clear: patch release will be the 22nd (so f.....ing long)

The puzzle is starting to have a pretty good shape

My speculation as others mentioned earlier
* Demo of LFS will include the F1 or there will be a (small) specific LFS demo, with only BL and the F1...
* Intel-BMW-Sauber has an amazing product for their fans
* Devs have an amazing opportunity to make LFS becomes *huge* and extremely popular

Time will tell

KTy

Sounds exciting

Congratulations !!!

I joined when the first Beta came out... Somewhere in... June or July 2002 ?


I hardly drive these days, even if I'm a S2 licensed driver

Actually, I think I supported LFS in buying the licenses, 50% for the sim itself, and 50% for the adventure of these 3 crazy guys !

Cheers,

KTy

I first read "for true force feeback sensitive brake pedal"... That would have been *really* interesting !

Good stuff anyway

I totally agree

Besides what you suggest, I should add this: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=4189 and that would be *perfect*

Quote from Hyperactive :

So basically "Different controls for different cars" is what you (and many others want). Probably the DFP users would laav this. But I'm MS sidewinder user so I don't care

Yes, but inside LFS !

Quote from herki :

i would rather have a better gearbox simulation, where you can shift without using the clutch on sequential shifted cars

Scawen, it's up to you

Hi,

I would like to see an extra "entry" in a car setup or associates directly to a type of car; it is what controller configuration to use...

Reason is simple;

I have an Act Labs wheel, with clutch and gearstick, I would like that when I'm driving a "street" car (GTi, UF,...) LFS switch to the controller configuration type "1" (or associates with Gti, UF,...) with manual clutch, manual gearstick,...etc.

In another hand, if I'm driving a racing car, I would prefer that automatically I switch to controller configuration type "2" (or associates with car yyyy) so that I have semi automatic gears "behind my wheel".

Last example, if I'm driving a rally car (like a WRC one), I want semi automatic gears, automatic clutch and handbrake associate with my gearstick....etc !


By default, all cars could be associated to one profile and then we could have the choice to define wich controller setup is used with wich cars...

My 2cents


KTy

You don't get it...illepall

You're not on the same wavelength as the devs are...

When I first tried LFS in june 2003, the first beta, I took the GTI for a lap on BL, and there couldn't be any misunderstanding... The car handling was amazing , physics was one of the best, graphics were quite poor, but good enough to have a real *sim* experience... that's what count !

And still today, as I play from time to time, I really enjoy driving the small cars because that's what I know and that's how my car *would* react...

Did you chek GTR demo ? Maybe it suites you best

But, don't get me wrong, I understand that what you're asking for is for the "good" of LFS... But I would prefer that all the sim-racer join, not all the game-racer...
