I've spent all day looking at alternatives to expensive setups and the cheapest/most common seems to be this : http://www.ikeahackers.net/2010/01/xbox-wheel-hack.html

Anyone on here tried this, it's for a DFP and that's a strong ass wheel to turn :/
Cheap Steering Wheel Stand?

Any idea what I could use, My budget is around £30.
I've looked down all avenues but I thought i'd see what LFS'ers have for ideas!
Cheers guys.

About a year ago and it came free with a mobile phone contract, so the best was not expected but I thought I would be able to push it if I ran with the worse graphics possible.

Ahh that sucks
Wasn't sure of the spec that LFS demands. Thanks a lot for your help, guess i'll need to hook the PC up to my TV and manage to source an image from somewhere.
Cheers bud

Straight from DxDiag.

When I play I get low fps and sound are repeating on themselves (ending up with just an unbearable noise.
I've tried to set all settings to as low as possible on LFS but only managed to get 12FPS.

This is offline, No AI.

And is on a laptop. LFS did run perfect on my PC but has since lost its image and doesn't have a monitor any more

Quote from NiTRo_SvK :It depends on what car you are driving, for example XRT has 720 degrees of rotation so if you set 720 in profiler, it would face same way.

Or MRT, has 270 degrees of rotation i think, so set 270 in the profiler too...


I drift (XRT, FZ5 mainly) with 720 degrees and race with 360 degrees of rotation, doesnt matter which car i race.

BTW Don't forget to set the wheel compensation to 0.00 in options (LFS).

XRT and still faces different ways , wheel comp is 0.00 and profiler is set to 720... any ideas ? ^-^ man im a pain in the ass :P

I can show in game aswell if needed


profiler setup to prove i have720 ^-^

Quote from NiTRo_SvK :Yeah now that you have 900, set in the profiler 720 and it should work fine.

Because you had set 900° and ingame full lock is at 720°, that's why it faces different way...

How can I make it face the same way?

Quote from NiTRo_SvK :Press SELECT R3 R1 (R1 = right paddle) together. It should change degrees of rotation (200° mode / 900° mode).

Done, now i have 900 and not 720.

Also the in game characers arms do not move to the same as the wheels, for example when the DFP is on full lock facing one way, the in game wheel will be facing a different way, why ?
DFP 720D Problem...

Before I go into detail as to what is going on
Wingmans DFP Profiler - 720Degrees - CHECK
LFS Options Settings - 720Degrees - CHECK
LFS Pits settings - 720Degrees - CHECK

Now
My DFP Is stuck on approx 180Degrees and will not budge onto 720 Degrees even with all the above done

Any idea what this could be

Yes I have got the FFB plug plugged in , and USB and pedals...

Thanks in advance

Quote from SamH :Okay well, at least the good news is that your shifter ain't broke literally. Now it's just a case of getting it assigned in game..

Open your LFS\Data\Script directory, and find a file called "sequential.lfs" in there. Open it using Notepad.

In there, replace the content with the following:-

// Set sequential buttons
/button 12 shift_up
/button 13 shift_down

In there, you can see "button 12" and "button 13". These may not be correct for your DFP. They're correct for mine, but it can vary depending on which USB port you connect to, at least it can for me!

To find out which are the correct buttons for you, open LFS, go to Options and then click on Controller. While you pull your gearstick towards you, a number will appear on the screen. This is the number for shift_up (12 in my config). Push the stick forwards and the number that appears is the one for shift_down.

Correct the numbers in the sequential.lfs file, save the file and your gearstick should then be configured for cars with sequential gearboxes.

Opened it and found this...
// This script may be useful for assigning controller buttons and
// other settings when you select a car with a sequential shifter


Went back on LFS to find the shifter working again ? Strange stuff :P But hey it works, thanks for the help I think it could of started to work again after I calibrated it

Anyway thanks alot

Quote from SamH :In Control Panel > Game Controllers, when you calibrate/test in there does the gear shifter show as working?

Yeah the engine noise and ufo noise plays when I use the shifter (when pushed up = engine pulled down = ufo)

Also any idea on what this is ?
