Quote from Ian.H :

Thanks ND.. that definitely confirms a car code error. I don't suppose you happen to know what car it was originally meant for do you? This'd really help me pinpoint the error.

I'll add some sanity checking too for an update

Ian

Well I can tell you the ones it did work for.
FO8
FOX
FXO
FXR
FZ5
FZR
LX4
LX6
MRT
RAC
RB4
UF1
UFR
XFG
XFR
XRR
XRT

And I believe I did not have any setups for the Sauber to begin with.
So that leaves the new BMW...hmm...seems all were acccounted for but for some reason some setups just didn't transfer.

Nevermind...XRG is missing. Maybe thats the one with the trouble then.

Worked great for nearly all my setups, except about 125 of them...they got transferred over but no three digit vehicle name was given so the files just say "_as1_blah345.set" for example.

Quote from franky500 :

i'm having the same problem with the G25, I can select the axis but once selected, there is still no actual control.. if that makes sense.

This sounds promising to me, with my mouse problem posted above, because the same thing happens here with the mouse axis selected. I can select mouseX and mouseY but no control afterwards. Hopefully this is all the same problem and fix.

Well this test patch won't let me setup my mouse like usual. I can usually select the 'wheel/js' option and it'll detect my mouse as a controller. And it allows me to select the Mouse X axis for steering and Mouse Y axis for combined throttle/brake. So the 'wheel/js' option no longer detects the mouse? Is this a permanent thing? I know I'm in the major minority with this kind of mouse setup but that really hinders me.

It must switch on certain times of the day because it is nearly alwasy GTR when I'm there.

Quote from DragonCommando :

As I've been reading and responding, I've been realizing how little anything free is going to do for power, I figured combining the spark timing adjustments and the modifications to the muffler I was going to do would be enough to change the torque curve, I don't want more power over all, I want to change where the power is.

Modify the intake runner. I've been running tests recently in my mechanical engineering's I.C. Engines class on the effect of modifying intake runner length to change the torque curve. We went kind of extreme, starting with a 50in long runner, and moved down to a 12in. The longer runner keeps the max torque at lower RPM, and the short runner puts the max torque at higher RPM.

Haven't ever played rfactor or really even looked into it much at all, but this looks like a lot of fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4o09vk6InE Probably feels extremely arcadish and leaps away from LFS physics but that still looks like a few hours of fun

Working fine here with IE7

The homepage for it: http://www.duke.edu/~jwc13/tennisball.html

It is still there. In Options click the Controls button. Then at the top click 'wheel/js' button. Change Throttle/brake axes to 'combined.' In the middle of the screen click Axes/FF button. Click 'Steer' button and select MouseX under Available Axes. Click 'Thr/Brk Combined' button and choose MouseY under Available Axes.

A problem with this, is LFS will put the 'W' next to your name in multiplayer thinking you are using a wheel. But there is currently nothing to do about this yet.

Or how about remembering to remove certain personal items from a vehicle before selling it? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=248880

Quote from danowat :

Nice stats, good to see wheel outwieghts keyboard and mouse by a large margin.

Also remember, that "wheel" encompasses ANY analog control device, be it gamepad or joystick too.

Yep, those stats aren't too accurate. Personally I've been using a mouse for over a year now, but in order to have the setup I like I have to choose the 'wheel' setting in game, so any stats for me say I have a wheel.

Quote from Gabkicks :

how do we know 70% of racers arent keyboarders? are there statistics anywhere?

Germany, United Kingdom, and United States make up nearly half of the licensed racers.

Germany
Wheel-1475
Mouse-103
Kb-65

UK
Wheel-622
Mouse-79
Kb-48

US
Wheel-449
Mouse-62
Kb-44


For those three country-stats wheels make up about 86%. The pattern is much the same in other places that I've checked. It's all on lfsworld.

Been driving in real life for about 7 years, but I've always used chase view in LFS. It is only like that because every other game I played involving cars or motorcycles I used chase view also. And I've been playing video games a lot longer than I've been driving in real life, so it's hard to suddenly adapt to a cockpit view.

It's not blank for me...

whats the kitchen have to do with LFS?

Scawen rebuilt his kitchen or something a year or more ago. There's a thread around here about it.

Quote from glyphon :

cm dirt requires direct X 9.0c. i saw something in a quick search that indicated that the x800 only supports up to dx 9.0b. if that is correct, then that would be why the demo won't run on the x800, despite the fact that it is about 2-3x faster than the x1300.

could any of the x800 owners verify this?

That part would be incorrect because I have an x800 and also have dx 9.0c. The game just doesn't support this card. This card isn't even that old or crappy

So the demo doesn't work with an x800pro? Is this the case for everyone that has this card so far?

Quote from XCNuse :

I've heard some pretty bad things about newegg though, I don't think I would trust them for supplies and accesories etc. Anyone have any positive feedback about newegg? Because they do have rediculously low prices.

I ordered my x800pro, power supply, two sticks of memory, and a case fan from newegg. I've never had any problems with them. I made my own mistake though by purchasing incompatible memory sticks, but newegg made it easy to get a refund for them.

I've had this onboard cam video uploaded to youtube for a long while now. It's Richard Burns Rally at the Mineshaft stage.

Hidden mode: In the menu put your cursor where I marked with a yellow X and click. Now you have several word instructions and a picture. If you can't get it now...

Quote from matze54564 :

• Maybe a y-axis use for throttle and brake???

This is already possible and is how I race all the time. You just have to select 'wheel' as your controller and then assign the corresponding axes. It really is not that hard to use at all.

The throttle and brake also needs to use the 'combined' setting so that the upper portion of the screen is throttle, and lower portion is brake, with an amount of deadzone in between according to how you set that up.
