Well I got 4 LEDs working as a rev meter in an evening using the extended pins, but adding the 5th one was much harder as I had to use a pin from the non-extended pin set which is coded differently. Anyway, it’s all done now. I'm expecting to receive the parts for making the indicator itself today so will hopefully be able to upload a video of it all working later this week. I’ve been using that great little parallel port monitor program up till now. Thanks Kada!

Now that you mention it - that does make sense! Thanks!

Good idea! Here it is.
MOMO Red: LFS only using 2/3 of throttle travel

I have a MOMO red and I just noticed that when I get to 2/3 throttle (as reported by the LFS throttle bar at the bottom RHS of screen and in control panel game controlers) the car is already at full revs. I just tried it with the FOX and FZ5 and it's the same. Anyone know why? My calibration is OK and I've tried it with deadzones off. I would be really good to be able to use the full range.

If you've got a logitech wheel you can use the Logitech Profiler to assign a series of commands to a button, so you could set F12, down arrow, down arrow, right arrow etc etc then F10 again as required. A bit fiddly though as you may need a button press to execute each command (but maybe not - worth checking).

Spent a while doing this yesterday for my program! Anyway, here are the idle values if you want them. It's in C++ but at least you won't have to go through each car to get them!

char Cars[19][4] = {"XFG","XRG","XRT","RB4","FXO","LX4","LX6","MRT","UF1","RAC","FZ5","XFR","UFR","FOX","FO8","BF1","FXR","XRR","FZR"};
int CarIdleRPM[19] = {966,966,970,971,969,955,955,976,978,975,966,1447,1452,1908,1900,3652,1437,1437,1448};

OK, just found it by clicking on LFSLapper on MonkOnHotTinRoof's signature.

Maybe I'm being blind but where can I get hold of OutgaugeGateway? I really want to try it to get MomoLEDs working with a gear indicator.

My pit crew jack my car up every time I stop in the pits,(like with my tyres off the ground) That's why I ca'nt drive off.

What do you mean you've never seen any pitcrew?....

Quote from Kada_CZ :Simple answer, I don't plan to do that. There are too many different posibilities, what people would like to have in GI for their specific hardware :-). On the other hand, the sources for GI are released under GPL and you can download it and add functions you want... It is not complicated, if you know C. Let us know, if you make it work.

Thanks, I hadn't realised you had published the source code. I did a C++ course a couple of years ago but havn't used it since so this would be a great way for me to use what I learned (if I can remember it). I had a good look at the code and I think I've worked out how it's working, enough to be able to do what I want anyway. I will start on it tonight and keep you posted but I expect it will take me a few days.

Quote from FL!P :
How do you get that view 3D in AFS, BTW?

I just pressed every button till I found it...press "T"!

Very nice! USB though so i guess much harder to do. Do you have a link to that thread?

Thanks, would like to try your set too.

One more minor thing I noticed last night when practicing was that the red flags you mention at turn 3 are actually yellow. I'm sure I can get another few tenths off my PB using your tips - thanks again!

I would like to make your gear indicator with a built-in rev indicator, using 5 LEDs connected to the remaining pins. Something like this:

http://www.rapidonline.com/pro ... =29358&catRef=56-0965

I think that this is not possible with your current GI program, only a single rev limit can be used, is that right? I was wondering whether you might be able to add support for this in GI by allowing the user to set five rev values in the config file such that when revs>rev1value the LED 1 is lit and so on for the other 4? Would be really grateful if you could add it! J

Well my PB was 36:43 but I havn't been able to get below 36:80 all week. Less than 5 minutes after reading the guide and I got a 36:40!

Reall excellent guide GF! I didn't know you could do those 3D views with AFS. I feel mean criticising it at all but the font size change here and there (in FF anyway) and there are a few typos: xnd->2nd, past->part (on T2) ofcoarse->of coarse. Then it will be perfect!

Some really useful tips there, I hadn't noticed that there are two partys to the 1st curb on T2 so will try riding the first one (though on the clip it looks like you hit the 2nd one pretty hard!)

Right, time to see if I can use it to beat my PB!

Good work GF, looks really smart. Looking forward to that FOX guide too.

Which server will you be FE Clubbing on?

I'd be up for that too, especially as I might not be able to make the test event.

Excellent, that was my first choice. Looking forward to the start of the season (which I'm guessing might be at the Kyoto Ring?! )

Remember we are on BST (GMT+1hr) in the UK at the moment, and race times are in GMT. I almost voted an hour early!

Well I have the Momo red and a 2006 Act Labs shifter. I did almost get a G25 but as I mainly like single seaters the clutch, which I was originally very keen on, lost it's appeal and of coarse the 900 degree rotation doesn't matter much for single seater's either. Also from what I've heard the Act labs is better than the G25 shifter. Lack of buttons doesn't bother me as much as lack of LEDs on the wheel! So I'm happy with what i've got. If my wheel broke (nooo!) I would probably try and buy another red Momo on ebay And the Momo red looks fantastic too!

Only just found this thread - sounds fantastic, please sign me up. If there's still a choice I'd go for the FOX, if not I will still enjoy the F08. I would vote for Sunday night when I would think most people would be around, or a week night.

What does being in the team involve? I drive a lot of FOX/BL which i think you guys do. Are you entering events as a team or racing between each other?
