What % force feedback, and what degree rotation do you use?
Profiler Settings
Rotation = 720 degrees
Force Feedback strength = 100%
Centering spring off

In Game
Rotation = 720
FFB strength = 20-25%

Yes, I agree, but I can't drive the XRT fast enough to keep up with the FXOs, so I guess if you can't beat them, join them.....

I just found about 15 cars yesterday, I was feeling nice and mowed Nighthawk's lawn for him

Hey Bob, great setups, the FZ50 is a joy to drive now that I can actually keep it pointed the right direction. I did have one comment. Your FXO Turbo setup feels very loose and nervous to me, I can barely keep it going the right direction under braking, I've even lost the tail in full throttle sweepers, it's very weird. I know it's not the car, because the FXO setup I normally use it 100% rock solid and very nailed down feeling, by contrast, that setup makes the FXO harder to drive than the XR Turbo for me. I dunno, maybe I'm weird, all the other setups are awesome

First off, I'd suggest using Bob Smith's easy race setups, they can be found here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=279
It can be tough to learn to catch slides. I don't really know what car you're talking about, but especially in race cars, like the FZ50 GTR and the XR GTR, slides can be very tough to catch because the slicks break away so quickly. With practice, you'll be able to slide the tires and tell when they're about to regain grip again, just keep working at it

Quote from Vendetta :

I wonder what the dog thought about his looks The person whoever took him in is very generous (probably not the right word to describe this, cant think of a word..)

Hehe, the dog had no idea what he looked like, he had cataracts, hence the freaky white eyes.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Do not ever compare any film to the original book, if you plan to enjoy it

That's why I never saw the film, I enjoyed the books far too much, and from what I've heard, the film is absolutely awful.

.....Meaningless Tristian Spam.....

I actually think Tristian makes more meaningful posts than the vast majority of members here, he just makes a lot of them If you want to see spam, go to the Di.fm forums LOL, people with 20,000+ posts, posting 5 times in one thread saying "choooooooooooooooooooooon!!!!" LOL

Quote from tristancliffe :

Are you that robot that is in your avatar?

Isn't that Marvin from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? As a sidenote, doesn't Marvin have red eyes? I'm pretty sure that's what it says in the book...

Chinese Crested Dogs are actually pretty cute, IMO. That was a rescue dog that had some serious health issues, my compliments to the owner for even taking him in, he could have easily been euthanized right at the shelter.

Here's what a "normal" Chinese Crested looks like, for anyone interested (They're born hairless, btw, that's not a clip.)

You said nothing Niki I'll admit, I've mixed you guys up plenty of times, at a quick glance, your tags look exactly the same hehe.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Niki's graph is exactly correct shape, just the numbers are meaningless.

Did nobody look at the attachment I posted? That shows estimated percentages. For those too lazy to click it:

/smartass mode on
It's Nitemare, not Nikimere

Something's screwy with that chart. I don't really think that almost have of the Finnish population has LFS either. I don't really get what that chart is trying to say.

Welcome to LFS. And yes, you will become addicted, and if you try to stop, you will go through withdrawl. (I know this firsthand, I can't play LFS on my laptop in college it really sucks.) But again, welcome, I'm sure you'll have fun

Quote from Migmar :

It is a proven scientific fact that the best people are born in November.

Congrats!

I agree 100%

Hooray for dragging an off topic thread off topic

here's 3

This actually looks more like a bug than anything, I have the exact same LOD settings as you, and I never EVER see square wheels, it's odd that you see them that close up, I think my old machine did that, but that was a 1 GHz P3 with a 32mb video card. Strange indeed

1 is Mexico City (I think, it's the Mexican GP track in GPL)
3 is Tsukuba

Don't get discouraged, you'll get better. For kb drifting, that wasn't too bad, it's hard to get big smooth lines with digital controls, keep working at it

Ahhhhh! Crap, I knew it was from GP500, but I don't have it loaded on this computer, fun track though.

Paul Ricard?

I'm actually confused about this whole issue. I seem to remember a thread a while ago about people getting banned from his server because they were on teams or something? And what's the whole stats deal? A quick refresher would be nice.

Quote from ZeroDexter :

I may be wrong but I think when the tyres get dirty, it doesn't simulate which part of the tyre actually touched the dirt, but rather it makes the "whole tyre" dirty - d'uh hard to explain.

I mean, if only the outside of a tyre touches the dirt, only that part should have less grip - much like tyre heat and wear is done - so it should at least be split up into 'outer, middle, inner', maybe even on 48 different points around the tyre, like for heat and wear....

does anybody know what i'm talking about?

It is simulated as to what part of the circumfrence of the tire is dirty, you can check this by getting your tires dirty and then locking them up on pavement, the part that locked up will be scrubbed clean, while the rest of the tire is dirty. I'm not sure if it simulates whether it's the outer, middle, or inner part of the tire though. That would be pretty cool though

7 is brands hatch

[edit]people should be able to get this one[/edit]
