I need a steering wheel for the FBM, I don't know if it's even possible to make something having the style of this steering wheel, but I'm kinda looking for a steering wheel like the realy F1 cars.
I've attached a picture which shows a wheel I really like...

If it matters, I'm driving a Redbull skinned FBM, Redbull suit and Mark webber's helm...So it sort of need to fit in^^ if you understand, I don't need any crazy redbull markings on it, just not a wheel with, for example ferrari markings...bmw and mercedes is okay

Also, I'm not quite sure how to use the steering wheel? like where to put the file to make it appear in-game.

I've been searching around for a bit now, But I can't find any steering wheels for the FBM

I saw one some days ago where the creator had even changed the shape, and attached a video of him playing the demo with it on the FBM, but can't find it now -.-

Would also like to know how to use the steering wheel when I find one.

Hey mate, I tested your set just now, Your ride height is too low, You bottom out every corner and your set has some serious understeer, Nice ride though, But I would raise the ride height to about 0.83 and 0.83 in the front, Works pretty well for my sets, The only other thing you are going to have to battle is that biting understeer, Which I'm sure you can get pretty well.

thank you

Thought I'd post my setup which I'm struggling with....
While I wait for you guys to check it out, I'll make a replay of my driving

The replay is gonna have to wait 'till tomorrow...I got way too much work and it'll get too late...I need to get up early tomorrow..

Quote from TehPaws3D :

You might have lowered the downforce to much, If your spinning out at race pace then it's something you are doing wrong.. To much throttle to quickly.. or you are not correctly in the "Zone" Also remember that if you are chasing another car 9/10 You are driving more aggressively.



Another note, If the car is spinning out after the apex, From what i remember if you soften the suspension and put a little more PSI in the tires it would balance out, You also need to blip the throttle coming out as that corner is banked slightly.. But yes a replay would help nicely

I'll try what you said, if it does not help I'll post a replay soon enough

So...now for the F1 steering wheel, anyone can make me one? I've found 1 topic with one that I really like, one from williams F1 car I think, but it's an in-game picture...

Is it even possible as a demo racer to change the looks/shape of the steering wheels in the XFG, XRG and the FBM?, I've seen a topic where the poster made skins of the steering wheel that looked really nice, a bit like the G25 wheel from logitech

Hi,

Save the Helmet in LFS/data/skins folder (I think the helmet skin file is named "HEL_mwebber_d.jpg"

As for suit, I think you have to replace an existing suit. What I did was, I saved Mark's suit from here in LFS/data/pic folder and replaced the original "SUITR". Worked for me. (Back up the original suit before replacing.)


Edit: Oh, quite confused now. Dont you see the images from the forum, or dont they appear in LFS? If you cant see them from the forum, one of us can upload it to imageshack or something. Do the ^above if they dont appear in-LFS.

I just red your post, I'll try it now hope it works

Edit: the suit and helmet works now

Now I just need to get them from the female driver to the male driver xD

Indeed weird :S

Quote from Mullog :

You can find Webber's suit and helmet in the forum, just use the so loved search function

I found a topic where they have the webber helm and suit...they also said that, to use them, click on the picture attachment and click save as, lfs, data, pic...but mine does not show the suit and helm in the options, driver, suit and helm selection!

Quote from zeugnimod :

You should upload the set and a replay of you driving with the set so people can see where you can improve.

Alright, I'll post one later today

Is it possible for any of you artists to make me a replica of Mark Webber's Formula 1 helm?

I'm also looking for a steering wheel skin for the FBM, something looking like the ones they use in the real life Formula 1.

Also, as the last request, I would like a replica of Mark Webber's Formula 1 suit (RedBull, if it matters)

So, I'm currently using a "standard" setup I downloaded, it's not like the default, the gears are more suitable for blackwood, and it's an unfinished one, because I would like to get better in setups. But, the first week I used it, it worked awesome, I went from 1:22:342 as my best lap, to 1:17:163 on blackwood, very good results for me.

But now I've startet to get a bit more serious, trying to really make this work, and just as I thought I made something great, the car suddenly spins in every corner...
I can take turn 1 without problems since it's pretty low speed....but as it goes pretty fast, it spins.

If you could please post on what I did wrong/what I can do :P like solutions to oversteering, understeering and such, because that's really a problem I got

I just got vote banned from AA demo racing for doing nothing :O I was the leading car(FBM), tried to overtake the slowest car in the back(XRG)...then he just slams into my rear tyre which makes me spin...in the next race there was two FBM racers who just kept crashing all the other drivers on the straight, I tried to vote kick and ban them, but not enough accepted the votes, then they just vote ban me instead, I believe their names were dallahz and DevilDrivesYou, both were rude, flaming me, AND serveral attempts in crashing me on the straight and when I pitted....
