I'm having the same problem

The also seems to be some sort of kink, when shifting from 5th to 6th, which is causing misshifts. Drives me nuts! :Eyecrazy:
I guess I'll be sending it to Logitech and get it fixed. Not right now, but in a couple of weeks I'd say... still to excited about that thing to send it right back

Quote from AndroidXP :Errr, reverse is "below" the 6th gear

Yeah, I know that. I was driving the GTI which has only 5 gears so it kept on switching to 5th. When I drive a car with 6 gears it shifts into 6th instead of R...

Alrighty, my G25 arrived today and I'm just coming back from my first 2 hours test run.

The wheel itself is simply amazing. Super smooth FF, nice grip and I immediatly fell in love with the completely linear steering It's much easier now to make small corrections mid-corner.

I still have to get used to using the clutch+shifter setup. Gotta get my brain's two hemispheres in synch It's going pretty well though, and I feel confidend that I'll be able to break my old BL1/XRT PB soon.
Heel-toeing especially is a challenge. Tried it a couple of times but then gave up because I was afraid of cutting my bare feet on the pedals' sharp edges. The shifter paddles on the wheel aren't sharp at all, though.
There's one bad stiching in the leather where the ring finger rests. Should be ok though.

And and I can't get the shifter into R... it just keeps on putting it in 5th. Any ideas?

I think we should start a 720*/clutch/shifter league. Who's in?


P.S. My wheel makes the same noise both directions. It's not exactly quiet but I can live with it....

Well, thank you guys

4cm less in height really isn't an option for me. I think I'll go for 22", then.

Now I have to decide which one Samsung 225BW or maybe Acer AL1622Wd... gotta do some research

Ok, I got a 9th grade math problem that I need to solve before upgrading

I am coming from a 19" TFT with an aspect ratio of 5:4 and I want to upgrade to an 20" with 16:10. Now I am worried, that the 20"'s display might actually be less tall, because of the widescreen.

Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

With an aspect ratio of 5:4 'b' is 1/4 larger than 'a' so:

a² + (1,25a)² = 19"²

From this point on I am just too stupid...

a² + (1,25a)² = 19"²

a² + 1,5625a² = 19"²

2,5625a² = 19"² | : 2,5625 and square root

a = 7,4146 ... but that can't be right

Can't really help you, just wanna say that I'd love some info on that, too because I am thinking about getting the Samsung 205BW

Quote from buedi :Wohoooo!!! :woohoo:
My wheel is on it´s way. I can´t say how happy I am. When I get home tomorrow it should be there (I hope so).
Yesterday the Online Site of my Shop said 15th of December... and a few Minutes ago I found a E-Mail in my Inbox with a Tracking Number :woohoo:

I really hope that I have better luck with it than with my DFP (where I had to exchange it twice because of the Pedals). Ordered it in September and now it comes true... yeah :-)

I ordered on Oct. 30th at the same shop I think. Notebooksbilliger? Didn't get a mail yet, though

Awww, no! :weeping: :weeping:

The next G25 delivery at the shop where I ordered ist December 15th. #%$! Happens to be the same day as my birthday though, so that would be one really nice present

Also makes me hope that I might be getting a revisited version of the wheel and that it won't be noisier one way than the other...

Quote from LRB_Aly :I can't make an estimation cause I've bought a DFP today and that feels quite
different from my old Momo. But one thing that I've seen is that the FZR's fuel consumtion changed. Don't know if other cars also changed. Ky GP FZR before patch: 6.6-6.8/lap Now: 3.8/lap

Just a quick thought, maybe the capacity of the fuel tank has changed instead of the amount of fuel that's being consumed? I don't have 0.5P on this machine to check myself...

Wee, awesome. Though I only got to play with <30 fps and mouse, since I am at my parents place for the weekend, I can already tell how greatly the tyre physics have improved. I love how the tyres regain grip

Can't wait until I get home on sunday! I am stunned! Thanks you devs for all the hard work!

People often forget, how insane these F1 cars really are. They are truly amazing driving machines and I am thrilled to have one in LFS.
If F1 races on TV are a bit dull, I'd say that's because the cars often compete in different classes. They rarely are on exactly the same level where "combat" driving skill becomes important. Someone usually just leads the race from some point on (often from the start) and won't be cought ever again simply because his car is the fastest.
In LFS everyone's car will have the same specs, to me the most important ingredient for exciting races!


So, that's my first post on this board for some months. Gotta admit, the patch has gotten me all excited about LFS again Though, the new tyre physics are the most important feature in my eyes

cheers!

No, I used Kleenex but it wouldn't really work out

I've never heard of Blue Tack, I'll see if I can find a german equivalent.
I wasn't aware that your new pots don't have balls (), either. Do you have to do a lot of maintainence with that Blue Tack solution or is a good permanent fix?

Thanks!

Quote from Fordman :Interesting Detail, but looking at the picture, they don't have the little ball on them to hold them in place, like the picture i have attached, so I don't think these would work.

I opened my pedals and found out, that this ball was broken off my gas pedal's pot The pot itself seems to be working fine. Anyone got an idea how to make the pot hold it's position without the ball?

Athlon Barton 2800+

No noticeable difference in fps.

For some reason the AF doesn't work anymore, though illepall And on windows startup I get an error message "cli.exe" couldn't be initialized. Hopefully switching back to 5.11 will solve this

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :Me too! Though I mostly listen to danish hiphop artists. Funny that you mention Atmosphere as I listen to a lot of "Jedi Mind Tricks" and "Non Phixion" there's not that big difference between the 3 crews.

I am not a big fan of Jedi Mind Tricks but Non Phixion is sweet too. "Ill Bill" of Non Phixion has a nice solo album ("What's wrong with Bill?")... been listening to that a lot, lately.
