Naah, load cell will do for me thanks :-)
The brake strength is always the same, not depeding on how fast one goes. But true, if you want to stop the car in a normal manner from 100 you press hard at first, then gently release the pedal (not for quick stops).
FFB would be funny, but not at all neccessary. I'd rather get a motion platform that acts realisticly in corners than a pedal that can show me when the abs kicks in.
Also in todays cars you can't feel any rotors touching anything, this is nonsense. You have a dozen hydraulic/electric thingies between your foot and the pads. You can easily control it, but you only feel G's, not metal :-)
In my old Mini I was able to feel some btw, no servo brakes, just 1 master cylinder and the brakes themselves. Compared to todays cars you had to usse a massive amount of force to actually brake, but the feel was nice!
Sorry what?
If a brake pedal would be as efficient and the same quality than the G25 I assume it would break in the box it comes in...
Drivers don't work, you need a year to properly set it up and then the whole shifter unit dies.
If the pedals were good and sturdy I'd pay 150€ for the set. If they were massive and practically unbreakable AND of good gaming quality (no squeeking, fine adjustment, force adjustment,....) AND if the brake depends on FORCE, not WAY, then you might want more than 300€ for a set.

Yep... you might WANT the right thing, but you're doing exactly the opposite by posting an adress where there is a complete unlocking tutorial mate. Please take it off, or hundreds of people will now know how to crack the game.

Today at the psychatrist:
-what's your name?
+Jesus
-No, I've asked your name, don't get upset please
+My name is Jesus. Jesus Christ
-Ah, sorry sir. Please take a seat. When were you born?
+Everyone should know, I was born on 24th of december, which is quite a hassle you know. Birthday and christmas on the same day... sucks, really.
-Aha. And then the three kings...
+...Yop. Three kings came by, brought me Gold, some weed and smoking tree gum ffs. Still don't know what to use that for. I'd rather got a bicycle for birthday you know. THAT would've been something USEFUL. I was walking around for quite a few years in f**king sandals, miles and miles! A proper bike would have helped me a lot!......

doesn't count for me... I've had a Geforce 4200 a few years ago. Was a brilliant card back in the days :-). Then I've bought an Ati 9600xt. This one was significantly cheaper than the nvidia cards for the same price. The 2600xt I've got afterwards was quite good, but I have to admit I should have got a Geforce instead... those were cheaper. Now with the 4series of Ati you can get very reliable and "green" gfx-cards for less money than nvidia wants to have for comparable cards. Sure, it depends on where you live/buy. Drivers have never ever been a problem for me, I've installed them and played my games. I think the biggest problem on a computer is always the user, not the os, not the drivers, not the hardware :-)
Same here. I've had quite a few amds, and at the moment I decided on which processor I should get into my recent rig, intel have been the better choice for me. I don't know which is the best "normal-priced" cpu atm, but that's not the topic.

So you guys rather race in the next UFBR championship, aye?
Seeing that so many of you like racing these cars makes me think of hosting the next baby-R mayhem :-)
Controlled races with good drivers and admins who are actually there, at least while the races last :-)

Well, having seen THIS benchmark it seems the 9600GT is only a bit faster than the gxo (whatever that means :-)). It is not listed in the marks, but the 9600 is just a newer 8800, ah well, read it:
"NVIDIA's two latest entries into the sub $100 market. The 9600 GSO is just an 8800 GS. Though we didn't compare it here, the 9600 GT is priced right around $100 and offers performance a little better than the 9600 GSO."
(quote from the magazine)
Anyway, I'd take the 4670 over nvidia, I've got a 4850 running up to 400fps and being cool and quiet through a passive cooler mod...
gotta go, turkey is done, food with the in-laws :-)
Have a nice christmas everyone!

rgt pro. only 270°, but 3 pedals and sturdy enough to last over 4 years in my hands.
Also far cheaper than the overpriced and overly hyped g25

PSU is a bit ott I think. 450W should be easily enough for a PC with your specs. My rig has got a c2d 6550, 2 gigs RAM, a 4850 and such. I'm using about 170-180 Watts when playing lfs (including sound system, 22' tft and while having other programs running like paint shop, ventrilo,....)
So a decent 400-500W psu should be more than you'd need. In my case that is a super silent nesteq 4501 afair.

patch tested with all the cars, sound turned of due to sleeping missus. Looked at brake discs, abs functionality and texture/model bugs. everything fine here. I really like the coice of cars with and without ABS, like in real life! ABS also kicks in nicely - however I didn't completely get the orangey stuff in F9-view. Is an orange-looking tyre the indicator for blocked? If yes, then the idea is great! One can't always feel a blocking inside tyre in a game...
Another job well done. Tanks and merry christmas scavier!

what I love most about your vids is the brilliant fluidness! There is no lag, no noticeable decrease in framerate. The effects are set quite sparingly and subtle. And except for the purple cone I couldn't find a single error in physics :-)

Morning ladies,
From the spectator's point of view the race was quite fair but very tough, compared to the last ones. But tbh I expected more contact. Some of you made themselves wider than the track is, there were great fights, plenty of paint was exchanged and almost everyone made it to the finish line in the end.
Sure, people start racing harder once they are desperately trying to get championship points and some actions may have been avoidable, but overall it was good racing, as expected.

We DO have a kind of tuning system, e.g. the baby-Rs. Take the half-full/half-empty explanation: The Baby-R is not a DEtuned UFR, it's a UF1 with slicks AND 80hp! 
Cruise servers: We can earn money by driving, robbing banks, win lotteries and so on. (at least it WAS possible... do those cruise servers still exist?) With the money we're able to buy bigger cars. There's even cops and speed traps on those servers!
CTRA have provided a system where you can drive cars in different classes, get licenses to bigger cars/engines, can learn to drive properly in a big grid,.....
All arcade racers are built on the same principle, which has been invented somewhen in the 80s: more speed=worse handling and so on. If you take a look at some random NFS-forum you'll notice that despite the vast numbers of tuning parts the really fast people are driving exactly the same cars with the same parts! So to me tuning parts don't make any sense. Everyone will jump on the best set of parts immediately, that's perfectly natural.
With Insim e.g. you can theoretically program the kind of game you want to play in LFS, nothing is impossible. We've got money earning systems, forced intake restrictions, forced weight to be added. Just combine these, rent a server and wait for the folks to flood in!
Nah, you're a Demo racer...
I don't mean this in a bad way, but Demoers always seem to want more content... Buy a license, go online and open your eyes! There IS more content on the good side!
