Damn your good grill

Just been lookig through and wondering if you have any gear shift or engine starter .wav's to replace the stock sounds.

Been looking for a quite a while but not found any :/

Thanks for help anyways.

Edit: Also you guys, did you read that announcement? About knocking demo people? :/

This wasn't knocking a Demo user. I don't think Demo users get all those cars to drive. So why would you need all those sounds? "Cracked game maybe????"

It took me a few minutes to set them up "Very much a no brainer setup" Download the latest drivers from Logitech....wait a minute this wheel isn't supported yet Oh well I knew this going in.
After installing the drivers for the Old DFP my wheel was recognized as a regular DFP. (This meens that 4 or 5 of the buttons on the wheel are not shown or recognized including the big cool horn button) Not that big a deal when you have so many buttons to begin with, but a let down none the less.

This is the same wheel I have. There are no drivers out for it yet. Just download the old DFP drivers from Logitech and use them. Your wheel will work just without some of the buttons.

Good luck!!

I am really crap at organizing my sets and need to delete a couple of hundred I think

Here are a couple of good SO4R sets from [HR]'s marathon CTRA days

Quote from MaKaKaZo :

It would be cool if people posted their restricted cars setups here in this thread giving an approximate to their PB with that set. Maybe we can gather some good setups to start making a base. Those are harder to find than the standard sets.

Really good idea!! It is always a pain to adapt a Gt1 set to GT2.

Thought I would post my thoughts on my new wheel.

After playing LFS for a year and a half with a Logitech Formula Force GP I felt it was time to invest in a new wheel. I was seriously thinking of a G25 until my wife saw the price and assured me I would not be getting that one It's a bit like being a child again once you get married

Anyway I decided to get the New Logitech DFP GT delivered to my door from SwiftGamers.com for $120.00 Total!!

First impression was wow this sucker is heavy compared to my old wheel. Main wheel body is very soild feeling and must weight close to 10lbs. Pedals are definitly a step up from my old set. They feel nice especialy the brake which has alot more resistance than my old one.

So all installed and off to the races I go!! Holy SH*& the wheel almost broke my thumb off I had forgotten to turn down the force feedback This wheel is very stong, and fast!! There is no problem with the wheel fighting you when you want to correct a spin like with the old DFP's. The wheel is super easy to turn and feels very light on its feet. Until the feedback kicks in that is, then you have wonderful feeling and excelent feel for the road.
I can't believe how much of the game I was missing. There are actually bumps in the tracks that I never knew about!!
Overall a great wheel! I would suggest it to anyone who is looking for a new wheel but doesn't have the $250 to spend on a G25 (Or a wife that will kill them if they do)

I will edit this after I have had the wheel for awhile and let people know about any problems with the pedals or wheel.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

if everyone was scared of progress we'd still be picking our bums and flicking it at people outside the cage.

Do you really think we have advanced very far from this?

Do we really want the newest drivers on the WR sets?, or do we want them to learn on a nice stable set that isn't so twitchy?
I vote for the stable set for close racing.

Before I was into Photography I found a beautiful Pro grade SLR sitting on a beautiful tripod in a park parking lot. Of course being the good lad I was I phoned the police and turned it in.
Turns out it had been stolen two years before and the insurance had already been claimed.
I cryed later when i took up Photography in a big way Could have saved myself thousands

I also used to work in a busy all night Conveniance store and found a few bags of weed over the years I worked there I had quite smoking by then so I gave it away to the same Cabby each time!!! The lucky bugger would walk in about 5 minutes after I would find it
So he found it too.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Another point on CTRA that could do with addressing is T1 at BnJ. I start up front in 99% of races (nearly red roof now ), and T1 at tracks like Pit of Despair is just a nightmare. Last night (Jakg was there too!) it was on, and every single race there I got shoved into a barrier at T1. I know it's Bump and Jump, and you are to expect to be tapped now and then, but I'd at least like to finish a lap every now and then...

I don't file reports on this because it happens almost every race, so it's not really an individual person's fault. I't just the result of 15 drivers in RB4s packed into a 2-car-wide corner at full speed

I disagree with your last point. It is every individuals fault that goes full on into the first corner unsafely. Useing others as a brake and in the prossess taking them out is unfair, even on B&J.
I have been in quit a few races with a full grid on B&J when all have made it through the first corner. It just depends on the drivers who your on the track with.

Read this it is the Gospel
I have only broken the main body up a bit for easier reading.

Racing Smarts AKA Savvy[/B]
There are a lot of ingredients in the recipe for winning races and series championships and all of them are crucial to success. That recipe includes a LARGE dose of racing savvy. You can do all of the right things preparing for the race but if you don’t do the right things during the race most of the time, your chances of winning it are very slim. Most people will preach about patience and after years of seeing it preached but very few people actually grasping the concept, I’ve decided to take a different approach. I’m not going to preach about patience; I’m going to preach about being smart.

First and foremost is to know your limitations and try your absolute hardest to never exceed them. You will, but you must try as hard as you can, not too. How do you know what your limitations are? Here’s an example, If you’re not absolutely positive that you can hold your line as you’re passing someone low going into a corner, you’ve exceeded your limitations. Even if you’ve successfully pulled off the maneuver, you still exceeded your limitations to that point. Every time you exceed your limitations but succeed, you’ll gain confidence until eventually you totally blow it and wipe out ½ the field which inevitably sets your confidence and your reputation way back, kind of like dieting by not eating. You lose weight for a while but put it all right back on because you’re starved. Confidence in racing should come just like everything else that provides true confidence, from your overall success, not individual instances of succeeding by exceeding. However, doing that offline against the AI is great practice.

Next, we need to discuss respect. Remember racing etiquette, if you don’t respect your competition, you’re not going to have much etiquette but even worse than that, you’re not very smart. There are lots of times when you’re going to have to have help from someone else on and off the track to win races. If you don’t respect anyone else in their endeavors to have fun with this, no one will respect or help you. If you think you can win races all on your own and enjoy this at the expense of others always taking and never giving, once again you’re not very smart and/or just plain masochistic. Now that we respect our competitors, and ourselves we can talk about the difference between being smart and being patient.

If you’re a patient driver, you’re pretty darn smart. However, while you have to be patient, you also have to be aggressive. You’re a savvy driver when you know when and how to do both. I see lots of fast drivers, lots of very aggressive drivers, a few patient drivers, and very few savvy drivers. Most people rely on their own common sense when it comes to racing smarts but common sense to one person is not always common sense to another especially when it comes to racing online. A savvy driver realizes this and almost always does the smart thing without having to really think about it. Just like after hours of practice, you instinctively do the right thing if you get into the corner a little to hot, your reflexes take over and you deftly maneuver the car back to where you want to be. A savvy this by sizing up the competition. Forget how fast they are in practice. How smooth are they lap after lap? How nervous do they get when you get right on their rear bumper? How well can they hold their line lap after lap? How well can they checkup if you slow a little more than normal going into a corner. How aggressive are they when they want by? Do they move over easily if they can tell you want by or do they run as hard as they can to stay in front of you? All of these things can be found out during practice and if you don’t take the time to do this, you’re not very smart. This is why most pickup races are such a wreck fest; no one knows each other.

Lastly, let’s look at the smart thing to do in specific situations: A driver you don’t know very well gets up to your B pillar on either the inside or the outside going into a corner, back out of it and let them have it. Maybe you know you can hold your line but do you know if they can hold theirs? Sure you can blame them later for not holding their line and causing the accident but that doesn’t get those valuable points back does it? Conversely, a driver you do know that can hold their line in the same situation does this and you know you can hold your line, what do you do? This depends on what’s smart for you based on the overall objective of winning the race. Do you abuse your tires racing him/her through the corner, if you only have 5 laps to go, abuse those tires J If you have 50 to go, the smart thing to do may be to let then have the spot.
This is a bit trickier, You’re in a pack of cars and you’re passing on the inside going into a corner with cars right above & behind you. You know you’re going to have to brake more to stay low and keep your line to pull off the pass. Do you go ahead and make that dive and take that chance? Almost never!!!! Why, have you ever heard of follow the leader syndrome? It’s difficult when cars are all stacked up to judge exactly where you’re at. If you brake later and harder than normal, the chances are good the person behind you is going to punt you into the upper deck even if he or she is a good driver. It’s imperative to be as smooth and as consistent as possible when in traffic especially going into the corners. If those around you want to take chances, back out of it and let them. You can wave as you pass low underneath that huge pileup. From the above 3 situations, you should get the idea that anytime you’re not sure what you, your car, or the other person is going to or can do, the smart thing for you is to be conservative or patient if you prefer to use that term. It doesn’t matter where you are at or where they are at on the track and how anyone else drives. There’s no rule that says you should be here or they should be there on any part of the track except during pace and caution laps. Regardless of what anyone else says, there is also no RULE that says anyone has to do anything on a racetrack except of course what’s mandated in the sim or by the league. Don’t ever assume anything. If you have to assume around drivers you don’t know on a racetrack, you’re exceeding your capabilities and even if it’s totally the other person’s fault when you get into a wreck, who’s really to blame if you ASSUMED they’d hold their line? You are!!! To drive this point home, say you’re leading the race and coming up on a lapped car really quickly going into the corner and you really don’t know this person, lets also say league rules state that lapped cars must let the leaders pass on the inside so you immediately move to the inside, go to pass and this person cuts right down in front of you and takes you both out causing you engine damage. Well, I hate to tell you this but you’re an idiot. You assumed this person read the rules and you also assumed that he saw you coming up on him 25 mph faster. Sure he was at fault but you don’t get your 185 points back for leading the most laps and winning the race. This is why I think a lot of people confuse patience with racing smarts. You can be as patient as a saint but if you expect or assume people you’re not sure of are going to do something, you’re just not very smart. Hmmm, this sounds a lot like defensive driving school. By gosh it is J Now the paradox, this is racing and if we drive patiently the whole race we’re probably not going to win. We have to drive agressively and take at some point in time but we have to be smart about it. The aboslute best way to do this is to do your homework and know the competition. Remember what we did in practice? We did some things to size up the other drivers. Take advantage full of that. Any time you can take and you’re almost positive that other person can and will do their part. Take! If you’re not sure of a person during a race, you have to take the time to size them up then. If you don’t have that time because you’re being pressured from behind, do what’s smart for you and your overall goals. Take the risk of passing or let the guy pressuring you from behind by and see what he can do with the guy in front. Do whatever is smart for you. If you take the risk of pushing a pass and the guy in front can’t handle it, he may be to blame but your decision wasn’t very smart. What it all boils down to is pretty simple, be aggressive when you know you can and be patient when you’re not sure.
Even when we’ve done our homework and we’re certain that we can pass a driver that will give us room and either of us screws up, that’s not stupid, that’s truly one of “those racing deals” and it happens to all of us. Laslty, don’t play headgames with yourself. Don’t use warp or justify to yourself that you were sure you could get by and both of you would hold your line when you really weren’t sure of the other driver or your own ability at all.

Again, the above is a draft and needs to be proofed. One other thing I'm going to add to this is more on blame. Blame is irrelevant, blame is a lost cause and worthless, blame is not worth your time or anyone elses. Also, I'm adding a section on common courtesy. It's not a rule but it's common courtesy that if a driver gets upto your door handle on inside to give them room. If the inside driver does not get to the door handle, he should back out and expect the other guy to cut down. If you're a lapped car and the leaders get upto your door handle on the outside, it's common courtesy for you to backout and give them the low line at apex. Having said that, if you don't know what the other guy is going to do, it's always correct to be patient and backout, if you're aggresive and the other guy can't handle it by not doing the proper thing or holding his line, you can BLAME all you want but who really gives a poop? Be smart and be savvy by never having to blame anyone because of you getting caught up in thier mistakes

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Sorry to interupt the jokes, but citiznes owning guns have been stopping robbers, and criminals for decades in america. I get a NRA journal every month and inside there is a section that recalls the stories a people getting robbed in their own house, but the tides turn when they pull out their gun.

Sadly Obama dosent see this and wishes to rid of them.

Sorry M8 but Bull%$#t!!

We can have guns in Canada for hunting or recreation. But we are not able to carry hand guns.( You can apply for a special permit for a hand gun for target shooting but they are very restrictive.) If you look at the crime rates for our 2 countries I think you'll agree handguns shouldn't be in everyones hands.
Instead of a good old fist fight, someone will just pull a gun and win everytime(its just not fair).

I am an avid hunter and have guns in my house under lock and key so don't use the "Your just anti gun" Bulls#$%t

If you haven't seen the movie "Bowling for Columbine" you should watch it!! I know it is not a true documentary but it gets the idea accross.

Quote from -NightFly- :

well...I joined my first lfs team after almost 2 years of playing, i think (okay okay :first 1,5 years I spent in demo)
when i got s2 i started on oval and was paniced to join a team ASAP. That was not entirely right decision to think about it now...I were in few different teams in short time.
I fell in love with the team running like yellow thunder on track, yes it was halfords racing...i didn't get in, obviously. Then i settled with some few-weeks teams, all died . Then after some experience gathering I met these little yellow devils again on track. This time i got lucky...as from there i think that joining halfors was the best decision i could have ever made...
At first we were mostly CTRA based team...wich have changed by now...we are not fast on track (with few exeptions here and there perhaps), we just enjoy being on track...having chit-chat in ventrillo, help eachother out, give advice if needed and have a feeling that we are a great bunch whatever other people might think...we run in few leagues just to keep the spirit up, we don't sit in lfs 7 hours a day(at least most of us won't. boogy:razz we race here and there depending on mood.
That's the reason i love being in team...
I just had to write that story...couldn't resist

You made me cry "Boyfriend"

Ohh and you forgot the friendly reminders about not using a Blackwood set on the oval
