hi, big problems with fraps. it records the whole reply but after i close lfs to view it fraps goes all crazy and turns the 4gb file into the last 20 seconds or so of my last lap. then it says stuff about it still being in operation and memory load dump or whatever.

my original intention was to ask for comments on my driving but i need it put into a movie first.

so how do i upload the .spr file?

thanks,

ive not read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been said. but for the major components they could just be weighed individually, all dealerships will have parts redily available or better still be even to tell you the weight over the phone. then just place where they are on the car roughly for the centre of gravity.

it is entirely plausable that one could recreate the same movements with a mouse. i dont think anybody has ever tried this in a real car though so its not been disproven.

Car Porn + Screenshots = GT5
Handling, Physics and Realism = LFS

Unfortunately, GT5 is utter poo for the latter.

i hear that. i used to think it was the bees knees of realism till i played WTCC. then i found LFS and my word. GT4 feels like Ridge Racer in comparison

Quote from danowat :

The short answer is yes it is.

The long answer is, it's not "realistic" per say, but it's about as realistic as you can get currently, and it's the most realistic out of all it's peers

thats what i like to hear

ive been struggling to find a decent racing simulator for a while. im a GT veteran and a bit miffed i cant afford a PS3 for GT5. the only other game i play/played is WTCC 06.

so how does this compare do you think to GT5 prologue?

ah ok, thanks. ye im new and so will probableys have the new version anyways. btw i cant go online, im on a university network and they ban certain ports. if anybody konws how to get around this id appreciate it

how does this work, when the LFS developers have made the improvments do we just download the new version and use our existing code?

if so, how often do the new versions come out?

thanks,

why dont you try it in your car? tbh i think its very realistic. the only thing that i feel is a problem is the shear lack of speed sensation in games. meaning when your in a car it feels much faster, not sure if its because of the real danger though.

ive got the 4.0 software installed and in the menu everything is working correctly. however in LFS every thing works perfect except the brake pedal is treated as an on/off switch. if i try hard i can get it to display at ~40% but thats about a 2mm depressed and completely unusable.

obviously in game even slightly touching the pedal and the wheels lock up. help please

This is exactly my problem and wheel.

Thanks for posting.

There are no new drivers for these wheels. Vista and XP have them in as default.

you need these drivers http://rapidshare.com/files/3040815/MS_SW.zip.html

the only problem now is that they seperate the pedals, and you can see they are on axis in the sidewinder properties menu. but on LFS it treats the brake pedal as on/off for some reason.

its good now. last problem, i cant seem to find the drivers for this wheel. so i have to combine the throttle and brake as one. which you can understand is annoying. so anybody got drivers for a sidewinder without FF. im in the process of getting a new wheel though.

right, sorry, ive changed the degrees for 240 which is what my wheel has. but for some reason it took effect this time. the last time i tried it it didnt do anything.

the problem i have now is the deadzone. my wheel has been abused in its lifetime, by my dad and his mates mostely. i will try the compensation again. thanks for the reply

hi, im finding it difficult to control the car as even 1mm turn on the wheel is all you need for like a 90 degree turn. well not literally but you can understand the problem. ive fiddled about with the steering compensation and degree's but its not helping.

basically what i want is to change it so that when i turn the steering wheel, the wheel in the car turns less than it does now. if that makes sense.

thanks,

hi, ive currently got the exact same wheel but without FF which ive had for years but hardleys used. is this wheel much better for LFS? im currently at Keele uni and can literally see the M6 through my window now lol

also how much you expecting for it?

thanks,
