Quote from pvdrift :

once again, how does everyone on here make there cars pictures look so clean and un choppy

Mostly its because of the resolution the skin was created at. That last skin I made was at 2048x2048. Also, using vector graphics as much as possible for logos and decals helps very much (if you can find them).

Heres a new skin I made. Im pretty happy with how it turned out,

I too have this wheel and would also be interested in knowing what settings other owners are using.

Giannic: If you have calibrated it in LFS and its still steering wonky, there may be something wrong with the wheel. I am only able to calibrate mine in LFS as the old crappy sidewinder software was never updated to be used with XP32/64. I use XP64 and it just works, I cant access the sidewinder controlpanel, but I have never needed to as I can always just set it up in LFS.

Quote from thestig99 :

This is relevant to my interests.

How exactky is it set up? You have two wheels, ignore one and use the other. With the pedals you stick the both wherever. Plug both wheels into the PC, and one in for Force Feedback. Then you go into LFS and map the clutch onto an axis made by the new pedals.

Something like that?

Yes, its very intuitive. Just hook up every cotroller you want to use, then load lfs and assign every thing from there. At the moment i use:
1. MSFFB Wheel
2. Generic wheel for clutch
3. MSFFB joystick for H shifter
4. Saitek X52 for all other controls like vote/Pit setup/tyres etc

Yeah, give the guy a break, Im sure he is well aware of patch X and will redo his mods if he sees fit.

They look pretty useful, cheers

Couldn't resist.

Lmao, very good stuff, Giggity Giggity

Well, I thought all three races where quite enjoyable. I don't get this "banger racing" thing. Ive been watching WTCC and V8 super cars and I'm still preferring BTCC.

I was 26 in queue, then got "did not receive OK", Then Host Not Found On Master Server

cheers for the update Scawen. Better late and working than early and broken.
Ill be along for some stress testing this eve

Quote from AndroidXP :

The more preload you add, the more the car will behave like with a locked diff during the change from being "on power" to "engine braking" (or the other way round). A clutch pack LSD without preload completely opens up (read: it's like a open diff) if there is no torque acting on it, which can have a very bad effect if you were relying on the stabilizing effect of the LSD.

So, it mainly affects you during the short time after braking for a corner, where you're almost not on the throttle yet (neutral load on the diff). If the car is oversteering in that situation, add preload. If it is too hard to turn and understeers off all the time, remove preload.

Nice explanation Android, Cheers

I'm not paying for them, not because I think they are too expensive, I think its a really good offer and I may avail of it in the future.

I am glad right now that every one else (who has availed) can see my skins in a higher res

Shouldn't do, I use the exact same OS no probs at all.

Good luck with the build

Yeah, cheers for the server, its a lot of fun

Quote from Goop :

FOX on oval? I don't get that either

I don't know, 32 FOXs on the Oval could be quite fun

Quote from faster111 :

going keep an eye out on that one.

Yeah Rigs of Rods is sweet. Plus they are now adding multi player support.

kick ass:eclipsee_

I am noticing more Irish racers these days, we have finally moved out of the "other" section

once you get S2 you'll see more of us. Most servers I'm on these days usually have at least one other paddy.

I like the RAC. Recently I have found it more controllable, I dont know whether thats to do with the patch, I doubt it because I have mainly old sets with Viscous/locked diffs. Maybe Im just more used to it now.
Jamexing: you mentioned the turbo. Do you think its too slow to build up? Personally I think this one of the areas that can get ppl into trouble, I find the turbo kicks in pretty quickly and when flat shifting you can easily swap ends on some corners that other cars have no problems with. So more care is needed.

missing your brake point in an FZ5 when racing against LX6s, now that scary that thing needs a parachute.

I bought this and its great. Multiplayer is excellent. Ill admit there are bugs, and some are quite irritating. But what games don't have bugs on release these days? ( well LFS obviously, but thats it).

Before ArmA I was playing BF2, so Bohemia Interactives approach to bugs and its fixing of them is a breath of fresh air.

http://bugs.armed-assault.net/view_all_bug_page.php

The above is a community bug tracking program where users can report bugs, vote on bugs and give help with fixing bugs. Also it is possible to see the change log for future patches, what has been fixed for the next patch etc.

I don't think all the criticism on the game's performance is entirely fair. Ill agree there can be some more optimization. But at the end of the day, this game will struggle at full details on even the most "uber" of recent pc technology. And Im fine with that, why do all games have to run at their full details on current hardware? I still cant run Operation Flashpoint at full details/view distance on my current PC (3500+ /7800GS /2gb) and that game was released in about 2001!! Its nice to have some games that you know where designed to last for longer than 1 year, before the developers decide its time to churn out another load of shite for the brainless masses to pad their greedy bank accounts....Electronic Arts 2142 comes to mind....

This game should run fine for you on Very low/ low settings. Even though its not the best, the demo is still a good indicator of how it will run. Once you get over the fact you cant run the game at full details the enjoyment begins.
