What here am I doing wrong?

I have set it up as so...

In LFS, I have typed two commands into separate binds. One says "/press 7" and the other says "/press 8". These are mapped onto the left and right wheel buttons (The red ones.)

I then have my "turnsig" file setup as so...

0
900
25
8
7
0x67
0x68

My Profiler has had nothing done to it apart from the normal wheel setup. It has had no binds or anything done to it.

For some reason, when I put my shifter into 1st gear, the left blinker goes very fast. When I then shift into second gear, it blinks at a normal rate but will not go out until I either turn the wheel past the 25 degree point, or I manually disable it by pressing "0" on my Keyboard. Apart from that, I cannot get it to work.

Help!

/me votes for Scrabbys car as the best Japanese car in this thread. [1/infinity]

Said it before and I will say it again. Nice car Scrabby, and it's all the more impressive considering you have done all the work yourself.

Quote from R3DMAN :you can lower a vx220 so the body is touching the ground if you really wanted to, but it isnt ideal for handling purposes, mine is lowered 110mm front and 120mm rear (distance from floor to bottom of chassis) this is really the minimum you can go without compromising the handling.

im not familiar with the blue one you speak of, hes not shown his face on the owners forum yet anyway.

im expecting about 265bhp once the limiter is raised and fueling sorted.

I doubt he would want to show his face. He must surely know how pants it looks!

I thought the power would be around that bracket. Should be fun in such a small package! Are you able to go any smaller on the S/C pulleys to hike up the power, or will you not know if the Engine can take it until after mapping?

Quote from FPVaaron :
G25 or G27. - G27 if you can afford it. The G25 is still a VERY good wheel though.


Which has the better/stonger or more accurate Force feed back? - G27. The G27 is also quieter now due to helicoil gears and different motors which improve the feel. The G25 still has fantastic FFB.

Which has the better wheel? - Again, the G27.

Which has the better shifter both H-pattern and Sequential? - Apparently, the G27 has a better feel when using the H-Gate (G25's H-Gate can be moved into another gear by blowing on the gear stick, literally!) and has improved reliability, but the G27 unfortunately loses the sequential feature on the gear column, where as the G25 does have sequential modes on both the shifter and the paddles. The G27 still has sequential paddles.

Is there a hand brake leaver? - No, not on either. It's not hard to hook up your own if it's something you really want however.

Do the pedals have force feed back? - Nope, but they do have different levels of resistance. Brake pedal is pretty firm compared to the lightness of the accelerator for example. This applies to both the G25 and G27, although on the the G27, the pedals have been spaced slightly better for easier heel and toe, and you can adjust the pedals yourself. I can heel and toe on the G25 nicely though.

Which is less likely to brake and what causes them to brake?
- "Break " Well, the G25 does have a common problem of the shifter breaking. Things like loss of Gears is common, and in worst case scenarios, complete failure of the shifter. This can be rectified under warranty though. As for the G27, it has not been out terribly long so I don't know of any common problems with them. However, Logitech have said they have improved the shifter so that it is much more reliable. Hopefully, this is true!

As for the wheel and pedals, these are quite strong on both the G25 and G27, providing you treat them with some respect.

Whichever you will choose, you will be happy. I have had my G25 for almost 3 years now, and I love it. Despite the reliability issues I have had with it, I still do not have the desire to buy a G27. For me, if I was looking to upgrade, I would probably look into the Fanatec Porsche wheels. They are pretty amazing apparently.

I hope I was of some help buddy, and good luck with your purchase!

Quote from 5tag :I would guess that R3DMAN's VX220 has been lowered as well...

Yes, and?

Quote from Luke.S :how can you make a VX220 lower?

Surely his feet must touch the road.

Hehe! I think you may of been right. I could see the suspension components when he got further away. They looked as if you could barely fit a sheet of paper between them and the tarmac. Utterly utterly pointless.

I saw a VX220 today too, except this one was an absolute abomination.

It was blue and overtook me on the Motorway at a fair old whack of speed. Only problem was it was absolutely SLAMMED onto the ground and had large chrome wheels with rubber band tyres...I mean, wtf? I've been in a few VX220s in the past and they ride very hard from standard, so why on earth would you not only make the rider harsher by doing what this guy done, but also destroy the handling characteristics? I bet it tram lines and understeers like a right bitch.

*and breath*

Anyway, nice VX220 Redman. What kind of power you hoping for with the Supercharger? 270hp or so?

Well, of course I resized them. 700 width and 500 height. Looks fine to me.

"Original rims > those" What?

You never mentioned they were approaching you in the first post, only "having a go at you". Nevertheless, I would not of said anything until it was completely necessary. You still riled them up.

Why should we change our passwords each year? Providing the password is secure enough and not something directly linked to your preferences, then it should be fine and not need to be changed. Mine is over 3 years old now, and I have not had my accounts hacked.

Quote from speedway :What do I think?

I think someone couldnt keep his mouth shut when it would have been smart to do so.

I agree with you.

It was obvious they were hostile towards foreign people, so you should not have responded to them, even if it was just to say "move on". They wanted a reaction from you, and that is exactly what they got.

Edit: LOL @ Dawes. You reminded me of this...

A few more from me, yet again at CLC. Thanks to Marsilan for being in the pictures. He is the cool dude with his black XRG.

Opposites attract it seems!

Quote from zeugnimod :He got banned and he is circumventing the forum ban by posting on another account. If everyone would be doing that and would be allowed to do so, imagine how the forum would look. Better have "people like him" here than banned people still posting.

But it seems like the mods don't care anymore. I already reported him 2 days ago but no action has been taken.

Again, I don't care. If he went out of his way to create a demo account AFTER the ban, then I could kind of see where you were coming from, but the demo account was created before the ban, and it's not like his ban was a potentially serious one anyhow.

Just leave him be.

Quote from Lible :It's not allowed to have duplicate accounts so hush.

What do you expect him to do? The demo account was already created, and he is not hurting anyone by using it. Ok, he got banned for using mods. Big F'ing deal.

Lighten up you bunch of liberal knobs. No wonder the LFS Forum is so hated with people like you here.

Quote from Bass-Driver :Its not allowed to upload pics with s2 textures, with a demo account.

It's quite obvious the OP is Nick, who has an S2 account, so hush.

As for the textures, IMO, there too dark and "clean" for a skidpad. Good work none the less.

Why should he blur the numberplate?

Quote from joebob4441 :impala ss 5.3l 303 hp only pic i could find on my comp lol

Get some Autosol and Wire Wool on those exhaust tips. I see some chrome lurking under there!

Nice car.

You have a Wife?! Poor soul...

And yes, it will work with the new Xbox 360, because technically, it's the same underneath apart from a quieter fan and a purty case.

Good, and if you enjoy the car then that's all that matters.

I'm just saying.

I'm not against JDM either, and I do like RX-7's alot, but Ginho's car is a much better all rounder imo.

Even with the ///M Badge, I would still have his car over an RX7.

Quote from BADLVBOY :Sarker, damn good
the only thing i dont like is following car's skin it ruins the whole edit

That skin is a replica of a RX-7 from Initial D. It fits the theme perfectly imo.

No way man. I love the shine!

I think that's why I love the last picture so much. The excessive shine from the environment makes it look as if the Garage light above the car is shining down onto the Paintwork.
