Don't forget Lehmann he was superb throughout the knockout stages .

**** ME! i forgot lehmann...my very hero...guess i thought i had placed him first.

klose, podolski, schweinsteiger, frings, schneider, ballack, kehl, mertesacker, lahm, metzelder, borowski, odonkor, neuville, freidrich...well done guys!!!

nobody would have expected us to go that far...great job!

ij the end, it was pure luck on the italian side, congrats to italy and good luck in the final.
but iÄm produ of our young team!

deutschland ist weltmeister!

...and the RAF from england flushed one down...

for uk listeners only!?

can anyone record it and release it as mp3?
i would be very happy.

hi,

let me first say thank you very much for putting lots of time into developing lfsstats, its a great tool indeed.

one minor thing though...
i just downloaded it and wanted to use it for the first time, but it did not work..
every time i started it, it just showed "connecting..." and then stopped.
it took me a bit of thinking to figure it out, but in the xml file the IP adress had to be set to localhost "127.0.0.1".
i think that this value should be set by default, because most users, especially the inexpirienced will want to make stats files from MPR replays without changing any values in the xml file
it might say "set up the xml file accordingly" in the readme, but some probably don't know how to do it.
and those who want the tool to connect to a different server will have to change it anyway.
so 127.0.0.1 would be the best default value...

cheers,
patrick

there is a german speaking league running at the moment where the fastest 5 will be invited for a testdrive in a porsche 911 racer and then get the chance to drive in the alps-cup or even nurburgring endurance race.

i rode a proper rollercoaster once and was sick for three days afterwards.

hi guys,

in case someone is interested, i found a new way to fix the issues with the DFP pedals (rev. b) which is extremely easy to do, works marveously and is quite cheap as well.
all you need is a driving force pro revision B pedal set and a spare microsoft sidewinder (forcefeedback or not, USB or not, red or black).

my rev.B pedals have given me a lot of trouble lately, they were spikey, stopped working altogether at the start of a race or the gas pedal would get stuck when i was approaching the first corner.

thankfully i still had my old MSSWFF in the attic, so yesterday i took that and had a good look at it, the cables of it and the DFP and wondered how one could get a nice working pair of pedals attached to the DFP.
used sidewinders or spare pedalsets are going for around 10€/$/pounds, so you can easily get one.
finally, i just opened up both pedal sets out of curiosity (watch out for the hidden screw beneath the sticker on the microsoft) and the solution just struck me...
both use similarily shaped pots, although the DFP ones are attached in a rather flimsy manner, which causes all the problems. the sidewinder however, appears to be quite a bit more sturdy...

so i just took the DFP pots off, with all the wiring still attached and put them in place of the SW ones. they fit perfectly and there is no chance of them moving around and with the DFP's cable, you can just plug them into the DFP without needing a degree in electronics.
the hybrid pedals work like a charm, no drawbacks whatsoever and the stronger springs of the sidewinder even give you a slightly better feel.

the most difficult bit is that you have to unplug the wires from the potis, in order to get the cable properly through the small hole under the sidewinder set. you only have to remember which cable goes where though, which is hardly complicated if you write it down...just don't mix up the cables from the gas pedal's pot with the one from the brake pedal.

lol, cool stuff!

those are pretty good for the kit lens! i like the first one.

here is something i did a few weeks ago with my olympus e500 @150mm:

Quote from spsamsp :

Looks good, well done!! I like the bit at the start with the slow wheelspin!!

...been watching top gear.

great vid bosse!

i especially loved the first camera angle right at the beginning. you should use more of these, i think it could work extremely well for those parralel drifts.

thanks guys.

Quote from Bosse :

Just wondering, where's the demo racer that shouldnt be on Fern Bay?

i think he is hinting at the amount of crashes.

Quote from Ryanry64 :

Nice video, only tiny complaint would be perhaps a little too much slomo. But that's probably more personal preference. 8/10

i actually have to agree on the slomo...it is a bit too much.

hi,
here is a video from our friendly teamrace between TPS and BC on fern bay green.

its my first video, but i think it came out allright. hope you enjoy it.

wow, incredible vid vendetta!

Quote from Stellios :

Me and my dad have been invited to an 'exciting evening of racing with Renault F1'. Basically, we have been asked if we want to have a shot in their F1 simulator.

Should be a good comparison to the BF1

probably running rfactor. :lol:

:ices_rofl

Quote from Jakg :

nooooo!!!!! i really want it but i cant afford it unless i sell a kidney! oh well, bye bye kidney!

and i just wrote on the german lfs forum that this is actually the first proper wheel that you can afford without having to sell a kidney. i think the price is fair. have you ever had a look on those BRDs, VPPs or whatnot...some of that stuff goes well into the 4 figure range...

Quote from Shotglass :

its a bit larger but still too small to really make use of all that rotation imho

dfp was about 24cm, this one is 30cm. now that might not sound like very much, but consider that its a circle, its quite a difference.

and i think its looks good, serious, not like a toy. i think real racecars don't have funky buttons either.

built it totally by myself with np help and hardly andy prior knowledge (okay, exchanged some parts, cards, power supply, drives.) even if i was a bit sceptical whether it would all work out, i have now got a PC that was a lot cheaper (well, it wasn't actually, because i put the money in quality and fast parts instead of someone too assemble it) than those i had before and even more importantly one that is a lot more stable...

kel, honestly, i have heard of much problems with the DFP's pedals, but thats the first time i see something like that. and if it happened to you twice, you should think about the way you use it...
i've been using mine for one and a half year now, and all i suffer from is the usual spikey reading and sometimes it completely refuses to react.
when i depress the pedal completely, i have all the pressure of my foot on the very middle of it..and i can't even imagine anything would brake if it wasn't spot on.
so adjust you placement and don't stomp on it so madly.

kreppel!

krapfen!

berliner!

pfannkuchen!

i hope i could clear things up a bit.

Quote from mrbogeyman :

would it be possibly to store old pbs for posterity before deleting them?

possibly if all the pbs were kept, and then overwritten as each combo was raced for the first time on patch T?

store them on a piece of paper.

Quote from deggis :

Unfortunately no, it's just a graphic effect currently. Clearly made for future feature where there would be real different tyre brands.

edit: doh, I'm too slow

why should there be differently bahaving brands in the future? everybody would just choose the best one...
