Yes, it was Z30. Ok, I'll ask for an update. I apreciate your quick answer, thank you.

No, that's exactly this: the host is not hidden, it is open to everybody; and it runs like that for a few monthe now. Only from yesterday I see it reported as offline, and it's not listed in LFS host list anymore, as you say.
For testing purpose, you can try joining with Join Specific Host, by name, if that could help ?

! RLR - Racing League Romania
(wow, that was fast)

Any problem with the page retrieving the host status ?
On our site it shows host offline, but when I run LFS I can connect just fine and the server is running ok. Thank you in advance.

this might be what you want,
you can also do it under shift+o > controls

Thanks Bmxtwins, I've already tried it, not working.
When I set the slider at 270 (as my wheel) I am asuming that this helps the game calculate the correct ratio to reach the 720 required by the game.
I've tried also setting it at 720 (even if the momo goes only 270), and I was expecting it would work.. it doesn't.

Hmm.. maybe it really isn't possible then.. the remaining hope would be maybe in the recalibration of controller axis page.. I wasn't able to understand how that works though

Hi there,
@cargame: I have logitech profiler, but it's not the point of my post. I am not wishing to limit the rotation of momo wheel (which is only 270 anyways), but the rotation of the in-game wheel (wich turns 720 for the FZ5 for example).
The goal is to have perfect match between the rotation of the momo wheel, and the one in-game.
@whiskey: nope, it doesn't, but as you state, it would not help me anyway

Hi there. I (still) have an old Momo Racing Wheel, and aside from beeing extremly noisy, I can race with it. The rotation of the wheel is 270 only. I was wondering, is there a way to limit the car wheel rotation in LFS also to the exact same value (270) ? In race, except for some big crashes, I never use more that this rotation anyway.
I should mention that I am not looking for suggestions like "get a DF GT, G25, .." ; I just want to see how the momo would feel with this setting. Thanks.

South City - Chicane Course (SO6), good to go under 1:12.xx
Kyoto - GP Long (KY3), good to go under 2:45.xx
The above lap times are reported to my level (average racer), they don't necesarily state the real potential of the shared setups. Please DO let us know if some of you manage to reach better times, and how much better.

LE: Forget to mention that I did take a look at Drift Bible. Only 1 time watch for the moment. Thanks Heiko

Hey, deep insight mate. I carefull red your post, and I must say I "feel" you but the truth is that I cannot dedicate as much time as I would like to LFS, and more, in our championship, we have a round each week where the other coleagues are unforgivenable (does this word even exists ?). Nevertheless, I shall start experimenting more, and play with the settings. Let's say that I understood how to setup the brakes, but could use some hints to reduce tyre wear, for starters .

Cheers,
Lucian

Quote from DrBen :

I once fell in love with Fz50 (some time ago) ..and I immediately started to tune and fine-tune setups on my own.

same here, I love this car.

Quote from DrBen :

Sadly most of the stuff is quite old and/or lost in migration...
...so I started to develop something for aston grand touring (see attachment)

Shall give it a try, thank you.

Quote from DrBen :

But beware: it is a first alpha kind-of starting-point, meant to be driven with your head, balancing tyre-wear. Optimised for handling through the tighter chicanes in 2nd gear (no lower), reasonable acceleration but not theoretical top-speed.

But beware: still with open diff. As I said: something to drive with your head rather thand your lead-foot. It can be driven with confidence however, whether with a full tank of fuel or from 10% down to empty. You will be able to nail your laptimes regardless of fuel-status. Just don't run dry, of course

The reason I started this thread is because I am not good at setuping. The example given, don't know to tell the diference between different types of differentials (funny words play)
Single thing I am good at, is fine tunning brakes to my liking to obtain stability on the braking.

Quote from DrBen :

So there it goes. This was purely done on a whim and is not considered final as of yet. Lots of players, lots of tastes. Fine-tune it to your liking (I mean it, this is important). Don't expect a man's car to do the driving for you. YOU have to know your way around the car, not the other way around!

Simple - YOU have to do the driving.
After all: Isn't this the essence of participating in / dealing with a racing-sim?

Indeed it is, indeed it is

Quote from Kova. :

IMO, for AS6 or AS7, you can use AS5 setup with some modification on cambers/tyres pressure, it's a child game

Most probably you are right.. will tell you after today's round

YES !
Thanks a lot

Good idea the transparent background >> problem solved.
Reagarding the user name color, still doesn't work; all connected users are shown in light green (only the comma between is orange ). Any suggestions ?

My thoughts (I might be totally "off", in that case don't mind them):
The target is a.User or a.Users ?
Q8: Could a target like #Users.field3 {color: #FFA303; } work ?

If no ideas, then could you please just change the orange (#Users {color: #FFA303; } ) to black (#Users {color: #000000; }), so the comma will also be black ? I could live with that also, looks pretty clean.

Thank you for your time Vic, sorry you had to re-look 3, 4 times my demand.

Quote from luchian :

..for refference, if needed, our forum is here RLR..

Yes, I use an iframe to show the stats. Q6: Is there another way ?
Yes, I probably sugested the wrong color code (I think the good one is #2f2e2e).. and this means that I have to trouble Victor AGAIN to make the modification..:ashamed:

Q7: In the css, I've set the target #Users {color: #FFA303; } This means that they should be orange-ish, but still they are green-ish. Is it because of the 4th line in body section of css (color: #9BC21B; ) or it has something to do with the fact that the user name it's actually a link ? (a href..)

I'm sorry if I returned to the stupid questions, but the users list cannot be tested locally (by trial and error). The list is apprearing only when showing real status server, thus taking into consideration only the css file on the server.

For easier understanding, attached a photo of what I wish to obtain:
Left side as it is >> Right side as I would wish it

Thank you Vic.
Dygear, could you please take a look ? I probably made a mistake, 'cause the background of the server status "square" (on my page) is different from the main background of the page.

Q5:
If I remove completely the background parameter in the css, will the page automatically get the background of the main site ? (Remark:I was working locally when I made the testing, so didn't had a possibility to test the comportment).

Last edited by luchian, Fri, 13 May 2011 18:35.

Vic, please ?

After a bit of play with the settings, I made a css closer to what I had in mind. I suspect there might be some redundant lines in it, but the end result looks ok.

Would you mind replacing the initial file with the one in attachment, Victor ? Thank you.

LE: you are right again Dygear. Done

Last edited by luchian, Wed, 11 May 2011 18:13.

Great !
Now I have all I need to be able to personalise the look the way I wish. Once it will be finished, I hope Victor won't mind to place it on lfsworld.
Dygear, a big thank you for your patience and time to share your knowledge with me/us.

Regarding Q4, didn't know about the possible glitch, so I'll drop it.

Last edited by luchian, Tue, 10 May 2011 19:39.

: )) that is for the Star Trek part.
Back to work, it doesn't sound so complicated keeping it to the basics. Ok, understood about the structure of file, and how to link it to the HTML document. The next important thing is:

Q3:
How to identify, in the web page, each "target" I wish to alterate, in order to define custom properties for it and only for it ? (I will explain myself: supposing I want to make the first line appear in black color, the second in red and bold, the third in blue, and so on..)

Q4 (bonus):
Supposing I would convince Victor to modify the href in the HTML doc to point to a CSS file on my own server, any modification I would make after that in the CSS would not require Victor's intervention anymore, right ? Or is it not possible ?

Honestly, I am impressed. By the exact needed detail of your post (thank you) and also by the attitude (not so oftenly found on the net these days).
Second, I'm gladly accepting your offer 'cause it's not the first time I'm coming face-to-face with CSS, and ussually I don't know how to hide faster.

Coming to facts:

CSS - don't know a single thing about it; no, wait, THE single thing I know is that it has a great power of making your pages look exactly as you imagine, and almost totally independent of the content.
Hex - know what it is and how to find it for any color I would need. Where ? here, for example. Nothing more.
inheritance and specificity - the terms themselves don't tell me much, but from the context I would suspect that you are talking about the hierarchy between diferent elements in the code. A simple analogy would be the rules of parantheses: {[( )]} ?. On th other hand, if I am wrong, would you care to explain the concept only ?
HTML - have some basic idea about it, from interfering when needed to modify some things here and there.

Q1:
What would be the basic structure/parts of a CSS file ?

Q2:
How do you link a CSS to a web page ?

Remarks:
If some of the things would seem obvious to you, still don't hesitate to post as much detail as possible when writing here (your post above is a great example)
If some times you don't feel that an aspect should be explain here, don't hesitate to suggest the use of Google. The ideea would be to use your time to get the most relevant information on our assigned task >> creating the supreme looking server stats page :P.

And last, thank you for the cool idea.

Quote from Victor :

try this : http://www.lfsworld.net/hostst ... Romania&css=2&c=3

Me again . If I'm not too boldy, would it be possible to have the css file that I suppose you had to create ? This way I could study it, and play with the setting inside, giving the fact that now I have so much study material thanks to Dygear's post. If too much trouble, then just ignore my post; promise I won't mind

Works like a charm . Thank you Victor.

Quote from Dygear :

Hi Dygear, I know that you might've tried to help, but basically you are sugesting that I should start studying CSS for a few hours/days/weeks in order to find what I am looking for (that beeing changing the color of maximum 16 names in the connection list). It's like if I was asking you to help me write "Hello" on a cartonboard, you would suggest me to go to school and after one year I would know to write it myself.
I don't mean to be ignorant, or seem that I don't appreciate the value of everybody's time, but I really never worked with CSS, have no ideea how to use it, and have no ideea what I should look for inside CSS to be able to do the small job that I need.
Thank you for treating this as a constructive comment.

PS: and Google IS my friend

Unfortunately, I don't know how to use CSS. If you can lean a hand that would be great Victor. I think a good color, and inline with our site, would be greenish #9BC21B. This is for the list of who's connected (that today is dark blue and very difficult to spot on dark gray). The rest can remain as it is. Btw, great help the option you have added for changing the color of server name.
For refference, if needed, our forum is here RLR

Really appreciate your help, thank you.

PS: I managed to find something identified as CSS on the administration panel of our forum; is that maybe what you need ? (attached)

Bit of help, pls: anyone knows hot to alterate the text color inside this iframe with the server status ? (our forum uses a dark grey background and it's veeery difficult to read who's racing, for example). Thank you.

And now the most dary demand of all: a RALLYX setup for the FZ5 ?
Can't do nothing to change it, it is the only car of the season. (fern bay 5, if that counts) .
