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?
Improvement suggestion

Love this add-on! The main reason i didn't buy a G25!

I noticed than once I have finished playing LFS and closed MomoLEDs the lights on the wheel remain off. Any chance you could change it so it leaves them on by default as a reminder that the wheel is still turned on?

I do a fair amount of hotlapping and agree entirely. Would much rather spend more time lapping and less time warming tyres.

2am! Don't blame you. If you have a chance I'd like to know though.

OK, that makes sense.

Strange that I have only found 2 high number open ports so far and one of them is 63392.

Also surely if I can play LFS online OK on other servers then port 63392 must be open and forwarding OK. So it seems strange that people can't connect when I host, unless that works in a different way?

I think I might have worked out what the problem is (and it's my own stupid fault!) :doh: I just remembered that the DG845GT is actually not officially supported by AOL (although I have been using it with AOL for 8 months with no problems). I ran some port checks last night and most of them are closed, which i guess could be caused by this incompatiobility somehow. 63392 is open, but 29339 is closed (firewall off, all ports forwarded). Only thing is I'm surprised LFS runs Ok with 29339 apparently not working.

Anyway, I'm not going to buy a new router as I'll be moving from AOL in August anyway which I hope should solve the problem.

Quote from Bladerunner :No, I mean setup.cfg.

Right you are! I realised that when I re-read your post after installing LFS Host. I was originally just trying to host through LFS so didn't have that file at the time.


Quote from Bladerunner :
I have, and I am running LFS Dedicated server with LFS Lapper on a box that is one of four on a LAN, all sharing the connection through a DG834

I am aware of people who use the DG834 and DG834G but not of anyone who has it working with the DG834GT.

OK, thanks. I'll assume it's not AOL blocking the port then.

Thanks , but it's off now, left it on all yesterday. Also got someone to look at it through remote assistance and I'm pretty sure the port forwarding / firewall settings are correct. I might report this as a bug unless I can find someone who's got it working as my other open ports are working fine. I take it there are no known problems with LFS and AOL (eg port blocking?)

OK, I think I may have been forwarding to the wrong address 192.168.0.1 when the PC is actually connected to 192.168.0.1 I think so I've changed the forwarding. I still can't see it but if anyone has a chance to test it I'd be grateful. Game name is "nick test" again BL1, all cars. I'll leave it on today.

Quote from atledreier :
Would it be possible to mark the straights with tiny triangles or something at the 300, 200 and 100 marks? That way it would be easier to relate the trackmap to the actual track, and to see how much you need to adjust your braking points.

I realise this may be difficult too but it's a great idea, and would be really useful.

Thanks for testing it.

a) I assume you mean cfg.txt but I checked the address and it's the same two (the default ones) I've set up on the router and Windows firewall.

b) No, just my PC on the network.

Very odd, I think it's setup correctly, I have a feeling there is something about this router and LFS, I havn't seen anyone who has got it working yet.

I've left my host running, if anyone has a chance to test it I'd be grateful. I can see it on LFS World again. Game's called "nick test", SO Classic, XFR and UFR. Thanks
