how about more details about the CFG file? So we know what everything is

How should one go about setting this up for instance, what resolution should the sim be set to?

Also pressing M doesn't do anything for me

the car body hasn't been changed one bit, the headlight covers on the XR's are skinnable, so you can skin headlights over them.

Nicely Done, but make sure to credit the band. They like publicity too

Thanks for confirming that it won't work though.

I think it's more like he just want's the tachometer style of his choice.

I don't have a problem with it, but i prefer a traditional tachometer. Or at least a stationary simulation of a proper HUD done in D3d

"A" That line would have been fine if he'd been doing thru there alone. "B" left sufficient room for a car to get through, provided that "A" were to not get too greedy like he did. There wasn't a PASS there but there was deffinitely the setup for a pass on the next corner or the highway section after.

I chalk it up to a lack of good sense and race craft from "A"

What you think is irrelevant to a conversation about whether or not it *can* be done.

not to say that you are stupid or anything, but this isn't any less realistic than the virtual guages he's probably using already anyway.

Quote from VTiRoj :Your actually overrevving there Keiichi, see your temps rising, shift now but you'll get a "OVER REV" and lose a bit of power

Edit: Oh your in 6th gear... in that case say bye bye to your engine

30 second google search turned up that image.

Quote from mcintyrej :I think he meant the one's from NFSU where it had the big bar going down the side that told you when to shift for a "perfect shift".

If so, Tristan is right.

Yeah, that bar was a tach, and the needle changed color when it was time to shift.

He's still wrong, the analog guages software has the possibility to do that style by using transparency.

I'd say that the guage he's talking abou tis approximately an 80 degree sweep. The biggest pain in the ass is probably going to be finding the center of the arc for rotation. Find that and you know how big to make your images for the guage. good luck getting the "needle" to change color, though it's possible you could make the "guage" itself change color.

Holy crap, tristan is wrong for once!

hoxs, spend some time reading the following thread, figure out how and you can MAKE your own guages.

Nobody's actually made what you're looking for but I've pointed you in the direction of a tool that can do what you want, if you put some effort into it.

pretty good except for the use of the word "practice". There are some subtle nuances that you've still gotta learn.

Practice is something you do yourself. You would help train someone.

VILLAGER #1: We have found a witch, might we burn her?
CROWD: Burn her! Burn!
BEDEMIR: How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2: She looks like one.
BEDEMIR: Bring her forward.
WITCH: I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.
BEDEMIR: But you are dressed as one.
WITCH: They dressed me up like this.
CROWD: No, we didn't... no.
WITCH: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.
BEDEMIR: Well?
VILLAGER #1: Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEMIR: The nose?
VILLAGER #1: And the hat -- but she is a witch!
CROWD: Burn her! Witch! Witch! Burn her!
BEDEMIR: Did you dress her up like this?
CROWD: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, yes, a bit, a bit.
VILLAGER #1: She has got a wart.
BEDEMIR: What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #3: Well, she turned me into a newt.
BEDEMIR: A newt?
VILLAGER #3: I got better.
VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!
CROWD: Burn! Burn her!
BEDEMIR: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEMIR: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEMIR: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEMIR: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEMIR: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEMIR: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEMIR: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond!
BEDEMIR: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Great gravy!
VILLAGER #1: Cherries!
VILLAGER #2: Mud!
VILLAGER #3: Churches -- churches!
VILLAGER #2: Lead -- lead!
ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEMIR: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
BEDEMIR: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch!
BEDEMIR: We shall use my larger scales!
[yelling]
BEDEMIR: Right, remove the supports!
[whop]
[creak]
CROWD: A witch! A witch!
WITCH: It's a fair cop.
CROWD: Burn her! Burn! [yelling]
BEDEMIR: Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
ARTHUR: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
BEDEMIR: My liege!
ARTHUR: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Camelot,
and join us at the Round Table?
BEDEMIR: My liege! I would be honored.
ARTHUR: What is your name?
BEDEMIR: Bedemir, my leige.
ARTHUR: Then I dub you Sir Bedemir, Knight of the Round Table.

The point being... Stop the witch hunt.
LFS Tweak could only do demo cars anyway. Mecanik could modify car types, but not individual cars.

That's still offering them a choice.

couple ideas came to mind:
because it might interfere with your ability to interface with your insim programs
because you really ought to have your settings sorted before going online

I would think the trick would be to have resizeable "tiles", using the checkpoint width variable to determine the size of the tile. Grab yourself a 90 degree bend tile, change the size to the size you want.

just an idea anyway.

For clarification I was suggesting general misfortune, not death.

Agree with ya on that point Tristan. I've managed to have my share of crashes at public hire kart tracks, Which most would concider a relatively safe environment. Couple related to the maintainance of the karts, and a couple related to mixing racers from the local motorsports club with the general public.

When I can afford to take a car to track days I plan on making sure it's a car that I can afford to crash. You never want to, but it's a reality you might as well plan for.

Back to topic: Nomenclature aside, with most racing wheels achieving little benefit or little demerit in relation to thier peers, what other criteria drive the factory teams choices on wheels (or decisions made when designing thier own)? One would suppose aesthetic compliment to the shape and livery of the car would play into it.

Just for the record, I think more of us hope you discover a loose nut on the Reynard at an inopportune time than squirm. But that's just supposition.
