Quote from -wHiStLe- :
Some real drift tracks would be awesome and possibly tyres that didn't delaminate so quickly

they dont delaminate quickly they just heat up very fast and inside press builds up to blow out

normally when drifting, u change tires because of heat problems befor getting to 50% of worn threads , id even say that drifters , never use more then 25% to 30 % of the available rubbers.


i'd love to Have a Mountain road , Japanese touge type, where uphill or downhill stagw could be set for racing or drifting =)

Hello boysand Girls !!!

i got an easier way to help Heel&toe techniques ,

its same result or so as the washer thing , but it takes 50%less hardware , and 90%less time making the mods.

ok maybe there isnt as much adjustabilty to my drift ready pedal set
then the washer alternativew, but

the thing to a great heel&toe pedal layout is that Throttle pedal is set lower and Further than the brake&Clutch pedals(but clutch aint important, where it rest) .So that when brakes are applied , u becomes lvl to Throttle making it easy to roll foot on the gas keeping same amount of brakes , that said

By unscrewing the 2 Allen fasteners holding the actual pedal to lever, u find urself with 2 parts Pedal assembly.
1 metal cover very sexy part,
1 black square plastic spacer with dimples,

DISCARD BLACK PLASTIC SPACER (keep it incase)

now reinstall the Stainless pedal with only top screw, cuz bottm wont fit (can cut the Screw lenght if really in the mood

RESULTS
Throttle now rest 3é4inch lower then Brake pedals

TOOLS

Light , Hands, eyes, 1 ALLEN KEY , 5mins max

Quote from f4sttr@ck :Well, I'm going to be buying my first car soon and was looking for opinions from other drivers out there with a good knowledge of cars. I'm looking at many different cars and would like some opinions on the best.

1. Mitsubishi Lancer
2. Mitsubishi eclipse
3. Ford Mustang
4. Honda Civic
5. Volkswagen
6. Dodge Stratus

Would like opinions on these cars and feel free to add your own. Try to stay below $10,000 and I would like if possible to stay away from a 4 cylinder. V6 is good and V8 is ok if good mileage. Would like over 22 mpg highway if possible.

Hello , well gratz on the upcomming first car , make it clear that as a first car it wil get bruised up pretty bad from whatever the cause. so consider repair cost for part , mechanical longivity y, and such whats the $ ur willing to put on a car , and what will u car be mainly use for ???

Thats pretty much the question that will narrow ur choices

V6 or v8 are good yeah , on heavy cars/trucks that can cary a load, , if ur gonna tow up a Fifthwheel or ur Boat behind , 4bangers are out of question, but if u wanna have great time with ur First car , being able to floor it down and not kill yourself , then , 1.5 1.6 1.8. 2.0 and 2.4 4Bangers are very capable and very easy to maintain efficiency/over repair cost .

Quote from Mp3 Astra :Question - at Fern Bay Gold, where there is a bridge over the track, I keep getting a problem where as a car goes over the bridge, the view switches to a camera that is supposed to be covering the action under the bridge. And in the same way, when a car goes under the bridge, the camera switches very quickly to the one that is supposed to be above the bridge. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

i had that trouble when i started working with TV Director, 2 thing can work , well it did for me , make sure that the cam that capture the Bed of the bridge should be with the High Cam selection Tab in Shift U mode , and that the cam ur using for recording underbridge cars, is on low Selection , also , just try not to set 2 cam with in the Bridge span area,
Suggestion, make 1 over bridge , or at Bed level , for overpassing cars, and for those who goes under , put ur cam at the end of the Straight, zooming in towards the bridges , like that ull be sure no cam will mix up

Quote from TFalke55 :..............., or in "The Wall of Champions"

my friend almost crashed is 240sx the other Night , he got surprised by the Big Curb and that was a close 1 , =)

but the angles that can provides A Goffer cam or a Wall cam would be nice

i managed to make 1 but its short time , and only in a straight line , where i placed my X farther then the nodes sector design for that cam , so since its filming Nodes way infront of it , there is actually no pan/scan , and i u set ur zoom good , it wont auto focus on it either

Quote from jscorrea :Hi Soeren,

This is the steps:

1) im start director port 32300 GUI unchecked

2) im start LFS and in the chat (T) /insim=32300

3) in the screen of LFS only appear InSim 32300

4) im start a replay .. Blackwood

5) Im press CrtlF6 and nothing... no message, no hello

Thanks.
JS


cORRECT ORDER TO DO IT WOULD BE ,

1, Start LFS online or replay whatever, type /insim 32300
( i have made a Hotkey: ALT-F8)
2: Start LFS tv Director and LFS TVDIRECTOR GUI
3: make sure insim port is 32300 and that GUI case is cheked with 32301 as GUI PORT
4: Start LFS TV DIRECTOR , and Connect LFS TV DIRECTOR GUI (checked remote and make sur 32301 is in box under IP box
5: return to LFS and press CTRL-F6 to activate and CTRL-F7 to deactivate .


if its not working u did something wrong during installation



hope its gonna help some =)


BTW i use it alot to follow races and add playby play commentaries during races

People dont get mixed up between LFS TUNE patch Y 2.2 with Old times LFS tweak , cuz LFStune can only modify power outputs , and write a Special engine block layout.


I wish LFS TWEAK AND BESPOKE will work with Patch Z somedays
=)
What about Fraps ??

Quote from anttt69 :Kegtys where are you? I am also interested in getting this up a running on an n gage. It's a really useful thing to have when driving some of the cars with small gauges & if you use a small ish screen to play LFS on.

I am the 3rd person & I am sure there will be many more. How about we club together & buy you a new CD or PC game for your trouble?

, as a automotive Technician , i constantly , use scanners to monitor sensors signal output , values , dutycycle ... ETC . these scanners can cost up to 10K, at my dealer we have the latest system , Panassonic ToughBook , , bla bla bla ,
considering my slave like paycheck , i cant afford a 10k scanner . Last year i found this Amazing little Toy, http://www.scangauge.com

i use it mainly as a SCanner , a roadtest analyser and of course as my 1 and only gauge unit for my , car . i dont fency the F16 Fighter Jet cockpit look in my cars.

So if the Scangauge2 could translate data comming from the PC , so it thinks its plugged in the ALDL Diagnosis connector it would be awesome , if so , the simple wirering of the unit , ( Simple Network phone jack type ) will make the setup very easy to plug in plug out of cars and to the PC , as it already comes with a phone jack to USB Cable, to actually save trip data to a pc, i just hope that OUtgauge can send trought a USB port

Keep it up Geeks =)

i got some questions concerning adding E-brakes , Switch box, and other Hardwares .

so let say for E-brake ,Last year i entered a Engineering Phase where i disassembled my very old Logitech Driving force FFB wheel to first understand how it works in first place and also to try to mate 1 of the Pedal as a Clutch to my Late DFP. i am a Automotive technician , i know how electrical and electronics device works and all , but getting to the point of actually connecting the hardware to the PC so it actually work like its intended , i just stall there . do i splice a wire to actual wire harness, do i need a conversion circuit board ??? J-pac or something ....

thx for all the support and help from all of you E-Drivers ..

Quote from aaltomar :It's not something previously used in computer wheels. It's certainly not belt driven and I don't think its even gear driven. Shige just replied that you can't even turn the wheel when it's in its 100% strength

Something industrial range is in its innards. We'll soon find out I guess. It's said to be patended worldwide so anyone willing to search for it in the patent office?

"That will not used a Gear nor Belt.
I faced limitation of the gear and belt because of their backlash, noise, loose, energy loss, too much complicated...... I knew that is not a suitable mechanism even if we tried most expensive planetary gears.

Mysterious?
Yes, the company also supprised the usage of the mechanism never used like that he said in spite of who is a industrial leader of Factory Automation"

[/I]

they must be using something that would be close to Drive By Wire , in Honda NSX , or something derived from The Toyota/Lexus electric power steering, ( in lexus it even take control of the rotation of the steering to Park itself , ) Well for a self parking car , its a start ifu were ganna criticsis the actual ability of the car to park itself as seen on TOP GEAR

what ever it is , its very small system , great design , but thats just for those who just dont know what to do with their money , type of people who owns Supercar , just because he can buy them not because its the best of the best,or because its a practical car. or the guy that Buys the Sony Bravia XBR 62inch HDMI to plug his PC on it just because he has 5000$ to spare that week-end. For Average Joe Racecar driver that respects himself will never hope to buy such a peice of Hardware for a ''' Game'''' , G25 is more then enough , and u can do mods to it , that wont even come close to the price tag on this frex .

its just a question of whats the best u can come up with
