I have almost the same problem, but no matter what I tried, doesnt seem to work. FFB always wants to center the wheel, no feedback from car at all. I get this error at startup:

DI : SetProperty - DIERR_UNSUPPORTED

Tried reinstalling the drivers, tried a fresh copy of lfs, the new test patch, profiler, like evertyhing. Doesnt work. It was ok yesterday, didnt even restart my PC since then. Any ideas?

I'm not sure when Ill get home from skiing, but if my memory is correct its gonna be dec 21. If its dec 22., I wont be able to make it. So count me in as not sure, will check the correct date soon.

Full linear steering here (0.00) with 300° on my G25. Im also trying to use as narrow steering lock on cars as possible.

I do play, both real and play money. Used to do freerolls on carbon poker, but nowdays im playing on PKR with some guys from the hungarian league. We do play every night, so if you wanna have ur arse kicked just yell

Quote from theycallmeebryan :

Are you fricken kidding me? Ofcourse i know RPM =/= boost.... :doh:

The first thing you are trying to "prove me wrong" with is completely stupid. You are comparing building boost without load and building boost with load.



In neutral, less A/F ratio needed to get the desired RPM??... uh no. I hope you meant throttle position. If not, you need to stop posting in these forums before you turn into a complete moron. Here ill fix it for you.

On A/F I wanted to say air and fuel, not the ratio of the mixture. And if you read down a bit, you would see that I misread your post. And no, I didnt copy nothing from wiki. As I said, I just misread it. Read it twice next time

ps: Yep, I admit I was wrong with the supercharger, its quite a rare stuff over here, so I just havent experienced it so far. Ppl learn from their faults :P

Quote from de Souza :

Left-hand, just like in real life.

For those who drove both in real life, is it hard to change? I was thinking, changing gears with my left hand sounds very weird. And someone has said (sorry I don't remember who) that whipers and indicators are also changed? Lol, I would mess it up big time

I was thinking bout the same yesterday when I saw a vauxhall with RHD. Dont really know how he could drive over here, like how do you overtake if you just cant see whats in the opposite lane? And for shifting, afaik the gears are in the same position, so 1st would be top left. I dont think I would ever be able to learn that..

HAHA get this:
Not so long ago I was in a shopping centre, and was heading to the parking lot. Its a pay-to-park stuff, so at the entrace you gotta push a button to get a ticket, and that thing is on the left side. So I was driving in, stopping at the car in front of me. Suddenly the driver opens the right door, walks to the machine to the left, presses the button, and grabs the ticket, and then walks back. Man, I never laughed that bad this year so far I laughed so hard I stalled the car like 3 times till I parked it

To be on-topic. I use both RHD and LHD depending on track. There are some tracks where you can gain several tenths by switching sides, and also effects the tyre temperature, and wearing. I also use wheel view. Not like I cant drive in cockpit, I just like the more view it offers since we cant move our head in-game like we do in real life. Cockpit view just wont make it more realistic for me.

Wheel4hummer is correct. More load=more exhaust. In a turbo application, you want to load the car in order to build boost more quickly.

However, more rpm with load= more exhaust overall. So say you are seeing 50% load at 1000rpms, then compare it to 50% load at 3000rpms.... More exhaust will be created at the 3000rpm mark. And you can test it yourself. Another way to look at it... at 3000rpms, apply 50% tps and see how fast the turbo spools. Then do the same thing but apply 100%TPS. vwahla.

Still, revs itself doesnt mean boost really builds up. Like you have the car in neutral, then rev it to lets say 4000 rpm, then load that engine (to be simple, be in gear and just step on the brake). In neutral, since its not under load, less A/F needed to get the revs, which equals in less exhaust. Then in the next case, when loading the engine, it does more work to maintain the same rev, which means more A/F, more exhaust -> the turbo effectively builds up boost.
Its not just about how fast it builds up the boost (because at 4000rpm in neutral you will not have boost effectively), but how much boost it builds up if it does any.

Like I have a supercharged 3.8 in my car. Since its a 'forced-fed' engine, we can talk about boost. During daily driving, I can simply drive without making any boost. No boost either when revving it in neutral. Boost only builds up when the engine is loaded.

Im not saying you are wrong, I just say revs itself doesnt mean theres built up boost in the cylinder head. Also, cruisin at 60 km/h at 3000 revs wont make boost building up, not even slowly. Load is what you ned when you want to build up boost.

PS: ah, sorry, seems like I totally misread the facts, and wanted to prove the opposite. You have to excuse me, its 5:15 am

Quote from [DUcK] :

Hey mate trust me we won't laugh at you, you're a good guy and you're asking for help in the right way, we respect that.
I know this combo pretty well so here goes:
It looks like you're trying to brake way too late.. so maybe you can turn some of the NM of braking down to say.... 570 or around there. That way you _have to brake early to make it round the corner smoothly.

In the middle sector you weren't really using enough of the road, it's there so use it! you broke waaayyy too late heading off the back straight - i'm suprized you made it around the corner actually (hehe) so as Kev said, maybe try using more of the kerb on the outside

I also noticed you were using 'Throttle cut', turn that off. You don't need that at all. If you actually need to cut the throttle you can do it yourself by taking your foot off the accel say 50% when the clutch is in and that way it won't wreck your precious engine

Kev also said this too, but I must enforce it - only use as much lock as you need! you will find your times to be much faster when driving smooth. Try to minimize tyre screech or squeal as much as possible - it only heats them up faster and with a low powered car like the gti, it bogs the engine down... it takes forever to get the rev's back up again

hope this helps dude.... see you on S2 soon!

Whats up with my back duckling?

Didnt know we have 2 April 1st in the calendar

Quote from Rocabiliz :

The profiles are in data\misc i think.. try to rename it and restartd lfs. that happened to me once, but i just renamed it and it was ok

It worked, thanks

I started LFS after a reboot, but when it started, it said Could not load profile: [tHR] rev. I cant delete it, cant rename it, can do nothing with it. I tried to find the profile files in the LFS directory, but no luck. Anyone has any idea how to bring it back? Cause from now, I cant use my name, and I really need it

Thanks.

Quote from mr_x :

+1.

I play rfactor online (no flaming bananas because what i say next is true, and you all know it) and that is far superior to LFS in the way the other cars move (I am NOT saying car physics), it's perfectly smooth as if you're playing on a LAN rather than over the internet. Same goes for RACE, watching replays from both rFactor and RACE you really couldn't tell the difference if the race was over LAN or online.

A bit off. In RACE, when a car lags, it just disappears without any visual sign. The problem is that where it disappears, the car physicly stays there, but its invisible.
So when someone in front of you starts to lag, you hit his invisible lagged car all the time. Needless to say, a full server with some lagging players is even worse than public demo ones in LFS..
Its like a slalom course, but with invisible objects... unplayable.

Quote from spankmeyer :

You must be some kind of a über hardware troubleshooter nerd if you can do that kind of instant-diagnosis during a race.

I heard it hit my desk, and I also saw it bending sideways.
Havent had those screws for like years now, still dont have em

Oh yea, and forgot the most embarassing one. Hungarian summer cup, 3rd race. SO4R with restricted XFR's. (bit off: try xfr with 30% intake, its pure joy to drive)
Qualified 1st, norbi behind me. First few laps we took over each other, lead changed lap by lap. Everything went well, I just backed up a bit (2-3 secs), cuz I wasnt really faster. Went into pits, had some damage, took me 10 secs. I knew I would beat norbi after pitting, cuz he met the walls a bit more than me. He went into the pits, I was liek 10 secs in front of him, had 7 laps to go.
Easy left, right, then the U turn. Went a bit wide, curbs made my wheel wobble a bit, the wobbling twitched my desk, and the DVI cable slipped out of my monitor Got up like rocket, put it in, i just sat down, and it slipped out again. Finished 2nd 1,5 secs behind. Damn that was hell of a race..

Low fps, or some random screen freezes. No matter how many players are in the server, nor what graphics is LFS running at. Sound starts to pop, LFS shows its running at 80-120 fps, but its more likely 10-20 in-game. Started doing this like 2 days ago, still couldnt find out why.
And the best is that it only does it in dangerous corners, like SO1 chicane, or at starts. Could finish like 2 races out of 10 on CTRA last night, it really drives my crazy.

Quote from Shotglass :

if its german they have a really unintelligible accent

Well, sounds like german at least Gotta be some baloney then, the co-driver was making jokes all along.

The first few sentences:

Dude, you will toast this barrack so much, we will shit ourselves.
5 left, we travelled 200 kms for this. And we are gone, where are we? 150 3 right into wide?

Too bad the whole feeling isnt really translateable, its priceless

Quote from JTbo :

Was funny at some point when driver says something to co-driver and co-driver got bit of defensive, too bad I don't understand what they talk, I really like from racing clips from Hungary, specially Ladas as even they might not have state of the art equipment or training, they are at least trying very hard, what is missing from some other car sports

Actually they were talking in german at that point, dunno what they were talking about tbh

Heres my ride, a 1990 Ford Thunderbird 35th Anniversary Edition.
There were only 3371 anniversary ones produced, and as far as I know, 147 of them were manuals. Well, I have a manual one

Still have tons of work left, the previous owner didnt really take care of the car, so its kinda messed up.
Tomorrow we will put the new engine in (from my other '90 SC), because its more than just a guess that the connecting rod bearing in the engine is broken. Hope shes gonna breathe soon

Some details:

3.8 supercharged V6
210 hp @4000rpm 427nm @2600 rpm (155kw and 315 lb/ft)
4 independent suspensions (yea, on a '90 american car)
Factory LSD
Electronic ride control, automaticly thightens up the suspension under strong braking or accelaration, can be switched to firm manually)

More to come whens she hits the streets

btw, she will look exactly like this (I hope)





Thats a fully stock car, even the tainted windows.

My cars door

Hope he gets the video from the race from his onboard cam

P17 with some nice overtakes, grats Norbi

P21, he was 1.1 sec better than yesterday, 1.2 sec away from pole. Grats
