At least they are not releasing 100 golden wrenches, you should see whats going down on the Team Fortress 2 forums.

Could anyone send me a link to a .bat file that allows you to double click on .set file once they are downloaded (presumably into your default download file) and they get copied into your setup folder in your LFS directory instead of copying and pasting it manually.

I hope that the tyre physics will be almost future proofing the game, so if features such as wet weather, track temperature, brake temp which all affect car handling and tyres are implemented then the perfect tyre model that Scawen is working on can be applied to these. Perhaps saving the trouble of rewriting the tyre physics every time such a feature is added to the game in the future.

Quote from ignite :

The OP isn't suggesting a random failure when you've been driving without incident.

Think of each major component of the car as having a percentage health/hit points like in many fighting games. You do something that does 35% damage to the transmission and 25% to the engine. Now the probability of failure for the transmission is 35% (65% chance of not failing) and the engine 25% of failing.

The randomness would come into play when one time you can do 40 laps with some amount of damage and next time you can only do 10 assuming you don't do any further damage. These are arbitrary numbers of course but hopefully you get the idea.

It'd be great if you can get performance degrades of the parts as well total failures. For example 0.001% of the 25% engine damage will result in a total failure; otherwise the engine will run at reduce power.

Yes, that's what I was suggesting. Your driving behavior contributes to the chance of a particular component failing. Good example with hit points in fighting games, e.g riding the curbs to hard will eventually increase the likely hood of suspension failure. Another good feature would be brake fade, like some of the F1 races with heavy braking, where at the end of the race a lot of drivers complain of a long pedal or even experience brake failure.

Could we have car failures like they had in Grand Prix 4, random failures during the race which can be selected as a server option. For example attacking the curbs too hard may increase the likely hood of gearbox failure, or suspension failure from a vibrating tyre caused by a major flat spot like what happened to Raikkonen in Nürburgring 2005. Hydraulic failure is a common issue for retirement in F1. Car failure probability that can be effected by your driving style would add to realism.

Bump again,

Just going through my many car setups, and you can only go so far with the setup file name to let you know what it is for exactly. A note section would be great, where you could write down the lap time capable with that set, how many laps its good for, how the handling is etc, fuel loads.

Hope to see this one implemented.

Ok, so there is no resistance or anything built in to the G25/G27 to stop it from rotating beyond the game setting of the car. Though reading about teh FREX wheel you can mechanically adjust the degree of rotation to your liking.

Shame, cause I like feeling the true full lock of the wheel.

Hi All,

I've been racing using an old logitech formula yellow (No FF) which has a degree of rotation of around 120 degrees (like an F1 car) and that's perfect for me, but I'm considering upgrading to a G25 or G27 and I know they have a degree of rotation of 900 degrees.

This extended degree of rotation will be good for some cars like XFG ect. but for open wheelers are you able to lock it to a much lower degree of rotation (similar to the logitech formula yellow at 120), or does the force feedback do that for you (e.g. resistance beyond the range), or do you have to manually lock it. Having never really used anything other than my current wheel I don't know, or does it work that you set the degree of rotation in game to say 120 and you wheel still goes beyond that but in game it goes no further.

Anyway, hopefully someone will understand my waffle and give me an answer before I go out and upgrade.

(I understand the FREx can be mechanically adjusted to any degree)

Wow, looks awesome! Cheers mate.

Quick question, how do you choose the color of the brake calipers?

Do we have no takers for this skin?

I agree, the pattern is quite intricate, but the back half of the car could have the pattern, and the front half plain white with surfing decals.

It is fairly challenging, hopefully someone is up for it.

In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics.

Hi Guys,

Could someone make me a surf themed XFG, based on the pattern's on these surfboards.

Also adding maybe some quicksilver icons and maybe a few other surf brands (channel island, creatures of leisure, kommunity project, rip curl, FCS).

If your a fan of surfing this could be quite fun.
Cheers.

Problem solved, just did a search of the specific wheel and downloaded a 64bit vista driver (I've got Win 7 64 bit) and it installed the wingman gaming software, and the separate axis issue is all sorted.

I recently upgrade my OS from Vista to Win7. I have an old Logitech Wingman Formula wheel (the yellow one) and under Vista I had no problem having a separate axis for brake and accelerator and in the game it work fine. Now with Windows 7 I can't find any setting for separate axis for throttle and brake under the Wheel settings, and in game after clicking in separate axis it still has the throttle and brake on the same axis (Y).

If anyone could help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

How about yellow flags displayed in the sectors on the track map as per F1. That way you could tell on the map which corner is under a yellow flag.

Upon the rumors earlier in the year that Aston Martin might make in into F1 next year as either under its own badge or as Prodrive, could someone please make me a Aston Martin BF1 skin, or even one of the other single seaters such as the FOX or FMB.

An article a few months back from the top gear site about the possibility of Aston Martin in F1 for year 2010.

That would be fantastic,

Cheers
