Don't tell my wife, looks like I wasted some money again!
BTW the problem with the shifter seems to replicate by others too, was with a friend who owns one too last night and when i asked him to to activate the shifter, he did from it from options and it was not working, he had to do a succession of shift+G go spec then back in pit before he could join with a working shifter in the car, maybe you could test it to see if you get the same result? (something's fishy, but I don't think this is logitech's problem)

THX mate, this makes sense, it also confirmed my test, tho I am not so sure about linearity (more testing to do), it sounds like bad driver to me, bit like we had when the G25 came out...
THX for sharing Bose, I have 2 G25 in working order, one must have more than 400.000kms and still going strong, I never had that much problems controlling the car with it...so I guess I'll always have the option to go back to it
...I'll wait a driver update and I'll use 105% for the time being, but if the noise increase I will RMA it anyway...
G27 - Weak FFB in the middle!
I'd like to ask a question to G27 users, I have bought one 4 weeks ago and I am having some troubles with it, checked the logitech and LFS forums, but I couldn't get a description of what I am experiencing.
First, FFB settings in driver are 100/0/0, no centring spring, I use win7 64bits, I respect wheel turn for each cars in LFS with FFB between 20 and 40 depending on the car. PC's is my business, so OS and drivers are properly installed and optimized. I have tested it with and without profiler (which I normally don't use)...
I have a very weak (almost non-existent) FFB in the middle of the wheel, about 5cm long, it is making two kinds of noises, a peep like a bird signing in the background when moving slowly in that zone (like when you are on the strait and doing small changes of direction), and does clac clac (knocking noise) every time i switch (fast) from left to right.
Ok noise is bad, specially when you invest for that reason, but I could live with it, the problem is that this weak FFB in the middle is becoming a real problem when you have to control the car with fast wheel motions, the steps between strong/weak/strong prevent me from being consistent and often ends up is a spin....I am not talking about a dead zone, there is no dead zone on it, it is just that the FFB don't seems to take effect on that +/- 5cm zone in the middle....
I have tried many settings to try to reduce this, two things seems to work moderately, 1) setting FFB in driver to 105/0/0 which ends up being non linear and 2) use a bit of centring spring which I hate with passion...
Now I was wondering if some of you are experimenting the same thing before I decide to RMA it. I gave it more than 4 weeks time to get use to it and in most cars I am 1,5 sec slower, I am already getting older I can't loose more speed due to the wheel...
I am also having an other strange problem, but I think it is more LFS related, I am loosing the shifter (in car) if I by mistake or not hit the shift+G keys (auto/sequential/shifter) and set it back to shifter, it keeps working in option/controller but not in the car any more, it seems stuck on the sequential. I can manage to regain it with pressing shift+G couples of times and go to pit and spec in a random way... I have to take he time to test this on a fresh LFS install to see if I can reproduce it...
thx for sharing!

Well I don't think it makes much of a difference is you drive only in cities, but for me who drives (cruise) long distances it does!
Yeah sorry I got confused with expended desktop and span mode, The difference is that two spanned half-monitors are treated as one physical monitor which allows full screen for games on video...That said I use expended desktop with lfs in windowed mode and it seems to work quite ok for lfs since multimonitor support...
Since I always tank full and I drive 25.000 to 30.000kms a year I use other means to save some fuel, like having my tires a bit harder dan normal to reduce the contact patch and I use michelin energy tires which makes me save about 10% fuel when driving normally...
Depend on the car, try to tank full and write down how many kms you did with it, then tank 3 times 20L and addition the kms you did with it, should give you the difference....
Logically I would say that a 60L full tank is like the weight of a passenger (woman 
) and an heavier car means higher consumption....that said I am lazy and always tank full...
) and an heavier car means higher consumption....that said I am lazy and always tank full...I don't get this?
It is not in the driver settings any more, but I do run dual monitor in span mode without problem in Win7 ultimate 64bit, I just select the span mode where you setup the resolution of the screen...or do you mean something else?
THX Michele, seems to work great for us!
I may have seen you a couples of time on tv here in the Netherlands, nice pictures and great career already!
The new Megane looks great, must be fun to race too?

Well TVE, Ready2roll isn't dead yet, but we had a long period with busy servers where we have experimented a couples of things, so we are resting/hibernating and reflecting on previous experiences.
We are working on some new things and preparing the restart of Dailycious, next month it is one year anniversary for us, so expect to see us back around that time.
What make me sad is that years after years the group of arcade racers is getting bigger while the real sim racers are disappearing slowly.
No offence but it is all about unrealistic settings, exploiting physic's flows, cheats, points, licenses, multiclass, cruising and fast rotations, where are the guys who use to spend time on one track for the sake of improving their driving qualities?
If you organize something, ppls don't even take the time to read the rules properly, always asking questions which can be answered with reading the (f..king) manual or with a simple google search, many don't even know what is a blue flag any more... Is everyone becoming so lazy?
I don't want to give up on sim racing, it is the reason I am here and I will leave LFS before I start becoming an arcade racer.
I think LFS is more than a game, it is a hobby, it takes a long time to improve your driving and learning about the setup of the car, for that you need to love racing and a lot of dedication, so I will keep spending my time here with those guys...even if it means running a less populated servers till they finally returns...

No, not only 522, check the replay...
Something is not right on KY2 racing path anyway, I was checking the WR for MRT/KY2 yesterday and there is a nasty cut in to pit exit...strange because it is done in HL mode with no lag...
Also have to disable the pit exit check from giving penalties, but that's probably due to lag...

I see you are seriously active in almost all important leagues, really impressive what you manage to do with such a small team!
Good luck for the rest of the season!

What do you think about C.Masai then lol
Finally got Masai to do a lap on as6, so I have updated previous post with spr...
Congrats mate , I see you are getting stronger race after race...now expecting some first place review very soon!

Sorry for this posts, I just realize that round 3 was over and I must wait for round4 to open....
I hope I am not too late here, will update the post with spr as soon as I get Masai to do one, tho most of you must know what Masai can do with an FXR ...

Nice looking site, French is terrible but understandable....
What about placing the translator on top of the column to make sure they see it, when ppls see an other language they zap to an other site, so it should be abvious I think....
Good luck!

LOL, well as they say, as long as there is life there is hope!
We had some very good races this week, the TBO event was greatly disputed between XRT and FXO (3% rest.) which were well balanced on AS3R...
Troy gave me a hell of a race, thx for that mate!
Tomorrow TBO will be at FE2R which was popular in part1 of the series....
The GEN server will be set to the slowest car in LFS the UF1 on the smallest track AS1, event will be on Wednesday as always...
Have fun racers!
