Don't forget to slightly alter your location, that might give you out

I second that and I recommend you start immediatly looking at the sets to find out why you like them / why they make you slow, fast and where.
Using Bob Smith wonderful tool VHPA will help you there, because it will give you a graphical representation of the different parameters while setting up the car.

Don't worry this much about lap times, for SO-town rev 1.45 with the XRG is already pretty fast in my opinion. It should take some laps practicing to get there!

I have found the appropriate option to get it sorted: removed all this new crap and re-installed the older profiler from the G25 CD 
Voted patch test, but Z10 is a nightmare...
I also like the cars setup forum, some excellent posts can be found there although not very often.

In profiler: set wheel to 720°.
In game:
Wheel turn compensation to 1.
To calibrate use the in-game calibration, read this:

and you should be fine.

Reason : information
4) Grant Platinum racers and above with a yellow ratio under 10-15% admin rights and duties. X reports done per month to maintain their status
After all these guys spend their life on CTRA, what about a few report processing hours as well?
Make it a 2 admin mandatory review for the newcomers and you have a nice bunch of "volunteers" cleaning the pile.

From what I get Lynce wanted to check if he would be verbally abused on the forums (as do demo racers if I got the point?) by asking a non-question and ignoring all answers.
He then received enough verbal abuse to assume S2 license holders are not treated differently, didn't he?
/joke. Lynce, I'm not sure what you meant there. Could you explain briefly?

Look for places with like minded racers, it can work there.
I think that random encounters on pickup racing servers are unlikely to provide what you are looking for, that is a bunch of people that you can trust.
Good luck!

Why not start your setup making career?
Take a sprint set you think driveable or race S.
Use no locked diffs, use a clutch pack, pretty loose at the front end.
Set torque bias towards the rear to spare your front tyres. 25-35% only on the front wheels.
Check the tyres: no silly camber values, increase tyre pressure a little bit.
You should now have a good enough set.
Next step, if necessary
Use Bob Smith VHPA to correct excessive under or oversteer, it had a graphical display the shows clearly the effect of your actions, so you do not need too much knowledge / background reading to understand what happens. Good luck!

I strongly disagree with this.
1) learners should deserve licenses, if only copper / bronze are allowed on the entry server it will be too easy to advance and will not demonstrate the ability to race.
2) fighting with more experienced (but not necessarily faster) drivers is fun and teaches more than being only amongst other beginners. It also grants more satisfaction to fight with higher license holders and pass them, and gives slower ones an idea of what is possible to achieve with practice.
3) Not all that start racing on CTRA servers are newbies to LFS. They need some opposition as well else it would make it (even more) unattractive to start CTRA for already experienced racers.
Please higher license keep going on Race1 from time to time, to teach, report, explain, share tips and sets. It makes it welcoming instead of turning the server into a surviver race "mad max" style.
I was faster with a mouse, until I got a G25. That was 4 months ago.
I am still approx 0.5s to 1s / minute slower in average.
So FFB does not make me faster. Pratice does. On the other hand I have absolutely no desire to go back to mousing, it feels like drinking a good wine with a cold and eating onions

@Michael - Excellent progress! It took me much more time to reach that level
Don't forget LFS is not supposed to be a social life killer, but more a casual hobby... play less and the fun will last longer!
At this rate you will be in need of S2 in 2 weeks time, and moaning for more content in 1/2 a year

Start slowly
Joke apart, you should try offline for a while, doing slow laps until you know your way around the track.
Then increase your speed and try to find the correct lines through the corners. Press "4" in single player game to get a display of the racing line (not the ideal one, but quite good).
Then you are ready to go online and race others, or continue offline with the AIs.
AI's ignore you most of the time, so you will be wrecked.
Some demo servers are about the same as AIs, so do not insist if you meet that - change.
Don't forget to do the training - while not a "racing" training course it can teach you some car handling.
Get setups online (from others or websites) to improve your times, browse the forums for them if you seek setup building knowledge.
You will improve your racing when competing with others more than by yourself. Online play in the main strength of LFS
Welcome and good luck!

Read the rest of the sentence before jumping around
Or at least quote it, so that I can retain some dignity!
I said the clutch (temp, not damage - non existant) model is sufficient for racing and had not tried cruising...

Agreed as well.
Using axis clutch it is a non issue for racing conditions, and in fact the clutch is too permissive in my opinion because it allows loads of flat shifting in some of the cars.
Maybe the burning clutch syndrome comes from cruise server users? I have never tried that so I do not know if the clutch will behave correctly in "real life" traffic use, and do not know if the cruise users have properly geared cars.
Another possibility is the autoclutch issues. As said above it tends to burn the clutch, because it is sometimes slipping clutch when it should not (ex: spinning an going backwards full speed, top gear engaged - the autoclutch engages the clutch for the car to go forward, resulting in instaburn).
Third issue is not clutch related: with the current LFS model a lot of setups have a first gear tuned for fast launches off the grid, often a very long 1st gear. The current model also makes it faster to launch full throttle (full burnout still give enough grip). Both combined produce a clutch killer, of course!

Please don't.
I agree that you should relax and review before reporting, but the system can only work if some reports are submitted (preferably valid ones) or if all racers in CTRA are faultless.
I propose you refrain from reporting when the latest is reached

Yes, it does sound too good to be true.
On the other hand are there any stats out that show the active players (sorry, pro sim racers) numbers evolution on the iracing site?
That may explain the attempt to get new blood.
Monthly figures would do

Nice story Scawen, always a relief to see it happens to everybody!
And I was thinking you were struggling with ugly bugs in the next patch, not able to get rid of the buggers
Now your problems were much more entertaining (from our point of view of course) and ... well, human.
Thanks for sharing with us. I still have one or 2 boxes from when I moved and the second kid arrived ... 4 years ago! Good luck with yours

@OP: You forgot the mighty AIs!!!
Agreed, a yellow flag zone would be an interesting addition.
However it does not seem so easy to implement, and a better definition of yellow triggers is probably necessary before you end up with a yellow map

Will you (as in general, you) please stop spamming this thread, which is here for a reason?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Paddles for me, because the shifter does not behave when attached to the table.
It keeps inching away or twisting around until
1) it falls off the table, held by one screw only, ending he race
2) It twists enough so that I have to watch before putting into gear, not knowing where that 3rd one is located anymore.
Therefore I have decided to punish the above mentioned shifter and leave it in its box, alone.

In french:
3 déverrouillages par semaine seulement (accordés par le LFS master server).
Ils ont étét utilisés tous les trois cette semaine.
Il n'est pas nécessaire de déverouiller LFS à chaque session, uniquement une fois sur un PC (à part nouveaux patches)!
En demandant gentiment aux développeurs il est possible de recevoir un nouveau déverouillage cette semain encore, mail:
http://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus
Ils répondent aux demandes polies rapidement et souvent favorablement.
Bonne chance!

Explaining how to get more unlocks...
Happened to me when I got the G25
Now I race on dMr, it feels better (for my ego at least)
Do not listen!
Keep playing as you like, the best setup is what feels the best for you.
It usually is a compromise between feeling "real" and finding performance.
The learning curve will be harder if you go for a high lock, but you will gain more skill for precise steering around the center. In theory you should catch the slides before you need full opposite lock
