"over"heating is not the good word for it. But the motors get really hot. And maybe they live a little longer if they are cooled? Also the fan speed/noise is adjustable.

Very nice, I did something simular. But I also used the "grill" at the backside (the one you removed) as a dust filter. I can make a picture if you like.

Sorry Grigorov, don't have the dimensions anymore. But it wasn't difficult to make. Just take the original metal plate as template. You can put the metal plate on a piece of paper and draw the outline and holes on it.
I hope this will help you.

I just took the plastic parts out

Did anyone tried Eyefinity with a central monitor (1920 x 1200) and two side monitors (1280 x 1024)?
Or must all three monitor have the same resolution?

Quote from przewodo :

Yes, I know it, butr this informations are not using yet. Like Oil Pressure and Engine Temperature. The documentation define the location that this infos apears, but the INSim do not send them yet.

Yes it does, Outgauge sends all the lights-info, except Oilpressure and engine Temp

Quote from scipy :

Look, you are taking things way too personally. The way in which I've "bashed" your effort is only against your idea and the time spent on developing something utterly useless. I don't know you as an individual, I don't know your background or anything else - but this is exactly why every argument I've made was based on sound logic and only aimed against this specific thing that you've made. I didn't start bashing your family or saying you should be banned or your whole thread deleted.

You've just done something stupid and useless, as everyone will at some point in their life, I know I have. But instead of actually reading what I wrote (and it prolly is the best suggestion for a "telemetry application" for now), you've just skipped over the whole thing and continued to hold to your own story like a drunk person holds a handrail. You cannot call this application "telemetry", it has nothing to do with telemetry. You say to boothy "if u agree with scipy - ok, but we should remove all his posts and his access to this thread". Why? Just because you feel ur effort is threatened by my "radical" ideas of maybe having something actually usefull?

Stop using double standards. You cant say criticism is welcome and then pick in which format you're gonna get it. My first post was a heat of the moment reaction because I literally COULD NOT BELIEVE someone would spend time making this sort of an application _AGAIN_. There's loads of virtual dashboards and server side trackers/lappers, so for anyone to spend time making something 97 % the same with other 3 % being again completley useless features, was completley beyond me. As for the stupidity comment, other than making you feel bad, what's wrong with it? I did not say anything untrue, this was a stupid thing to do, you did it - deal with it.

When jasonmatthews asked what I think would be good additions and his F9-F12 idea - I posted a solution for both. U've obviously skipped over that too, at least I've read your whole posts before passing any kind of comment.

Instead of going on and on how this is only a "early version" of your "telemetry" application and how you're gonna remove some silly features and add some questionable ones, why don't you opt for a different approach and abanndon this whole project. You could actually help the community and all the endurance teams if you made an actual telemetry application. My programming skills are limited to highschool C++ and that only enables me to make MSDOS based applications, like the one for calculating average laps over a stint while ignoring in/outlaps. Your whole argument "why don't you do a better job instead" is an argument fallacy, if you have the skillset necessary - why don't YOU do a better job than you did.

And as for the "me being a forum troll and hanging around too much" argument, I don't think 250 posts in more than 3 years supports your argument (neither does 240k km driven online). So, please stop trying to argue your point simply because it's only YOUR point and generally wrong, and instead try and make something useful.

This post reaches the limit of the time I'm willing to spend trying to re-educate you, so I guess only thing left to say is.. good luck.

Maybe this application is "useless" for you, but maybe not for a lot of other people.
The usefulness of something is not defined by logic.
Maybe people only want information (already accessible in the game, I know) displayed in an other format.
Or there could be other reasons to use this aplication and is it your narrow vision that doesn't allow you to see that.

Quote from jasonmatthews :

Has anyone been able to get LFS working in Dual monitor setup with NVidia card in Windows 7 or Vista?

As far as I know, these OS's do not support span mode at all. After some research, I read somewhere that the only way to achieve this is if the game itself provides the multi monitor setup.

I would love to be able to use dual monitor, especially with this new patch, but cannot for the life of me get LFS to register the extra resolution settings of the 2nd monitor, unless I am missing something?

Same problem here with an Ati card and Windows 7

I had the same problem (with G25 and a black momo)
If you turn the wheel very fast, the sensor (at the back of the ff motor) is failing to see all the tittle "holes" in the gearing wheel.
In my case the solution was very simple, I just bended the sensor (the emitter and reciever) a little closer to each other.
And the problem never came back

Quote from D.Zanetti :

82% Yellows! Have you been driving in Reverse

OMG 82%?
that's almost one yellow in every lap!!!

Quote from zeugnimod :

I agree with Joris.

Obviously, when someone has 40% or more there probably is something wrong with his driving but a driver with a ratio of 15% isn't necessarily cleaner than a driver with a ratio of 20%. IMO.

That's my point, someone with 15 or 20% yellow is a cleaner driver than someone with 40%.
I'm not arguing about 5 procent.

Quote from Joris :

O.k. lets agree to disagree on this one.

I agree

My point is that it really is proportional to cleanliness

Quote from Joris :

Restricting people because of yellow flag ratios is not fair.

• A clean racers get more yellow flags per spin/accident because they wait for a gap to rejoin.
  
• Yellows are also given when drivers anticipate on accidents
  
• Drivers can get yellows because of other peoples mistakes/agression
  
• Yellows are spammed on some combo's because the detection is flawed.
  

I believe Sam once or twice asked people not to read too much into the yellow flag ratio's aswell.

For the record my ratio is 13

Not true,
- Clean racers don't take to much risk so they don't spin that often.
- If you anticipate the right way you just drive around the accident.
- See point 2 and you don't get a yellow flag.
- It's the same for every one so you can't use that as a excuse

Maybe he's a clean driver but VERY bad in avoiding bad drivers
BTW mine is 7%

Quote from Glenn67 :

To say experienced drivers wouldn't choose to drive the slower cars is totally incorect and even bordering on arrogant imo. I choose to drive most of the time in road cars, it's a choice that has nothing to do with experience, competitiveness or the size of my epenis

sorry I didn't want to offend anyone, but in real life every racedriver want's to procede to a faster race class if he get's the change.
the ultimed goal always is the F1.
Maybe in LFS people are happy to stay in those little cars.
That's perfectly fine, but not for me.
A car is never fast enough

The ABS option is available for the slow cars only. It make's it easier for beginners. It helps them driving their first laps, so I think it's a good thing..
More experience drivers don't drive these slow cars anyway.

A program that sends/receives LFS-data to another pc in a lan network, so that I can have a rearview in realtime through a second pc.
If a had a program that can do that I'm planning to use a second pc and a little monitor as a rearview mirror.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Quote from delankster :

have been thinking of making a mod for my g25 and adding some extra buttons to the wheel.
Had a look about but not really found much details on it!
anyone tried it ?

This is my G25 mod:

Quote from Dru :

your not trying hard enough - i wanna see it down below 5%

Hmmm, I will try but what's yours by the way?

Quote from SamH :

AKA "accident pre-disposition". We see it a lot. There are drivers we've seen, who will do absolutely nothing to avoid accidents at all. They're not wreckers.. they're just completely oblivious to the cars around them! Bizarre, but absolutely true!

Good said
I believe that someone who could avoid an accident but failed to do so, is almost as guilty as the one who started the crash.

Quote from Shotglass :

mirrors and the great power of logic...

Yep, that's enough for me.
I don't use the look buttons, only a 95% FOV and the (real) mirrors on the car.
And I think I'm doing a good job with a yellow flag ratio of 7%

Quote from Mille Sabords :

Why do you all want points?

Racing is a competitive sport.
Ctra does an excellent job filtering the good from the bad.
But a ranking like the elo system can be a stimulans to improve your driving skills.
The one thing all good racers have in common is the will to be the best.

YES, good idea.
The point system now only shows how much time someone spend on the Ctra servers (not entirely true but you get my point)
It would be good to have a ranking based on how good someone can race.

You can find me there tomorrow (friday) night.
My brother only needs 35 point to join server3, so he will be there a little later that night
