What were these fun runs?

I would really fancy joining a week-night league (something a bit competative but not too serious). Most of the leagues seem to be at the weekends and I'm not always around to race. If I had a server I might start one.

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.

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

Thanks for your help again. Maybe it is working then. I'll see if I can get my brother to test it. If not what's the best way to test it from your own machine? A few days ago I could see it on LFS world but my brother said he couldn't find it in the game so i guess that's not a good test.

Thanks. I can't see it on Browse For Speed either though which is more worrying - should I be able to? PS: I'm just setting up a game in LFS rather than a dedicated host.

The same is true of setups. I was racing last night and the car seemed to be on rails - then I realised I had accidentally used Barlin's set again - it's so stable. After using my own set for a bit, and then Maurizio's I was much quicker than the last time I used Barlin's. I think I've improved my driving somehow by using different setups.

Thanks for that! You're pretty consistent (not to mention quick!) in the 1st sector, despite really scrubbing the tyres on entry into turn 1, I'll give that a go. One thing I noticed is that you seem to be using R2 tyres is that right? Every set I have seen until now has used R1 for FOX/BL.

I'm in. Password please! Thanks

Quote from MakeSpeed :

I want to use it with an lcd as a dash.

Can you post some pics when you've done it and tell us how? What screen to you intend to use?

Thanks! Does Maurizio know you've posted his set here though? I have raced against him (er, well raced behind him then ) and yes he is not only fast but really consistent. Sounds like his set is similar to mine is now, I've got a bit of oversteer and low wing settings too (but my pb is only 1:08:23 at the moment ).

As you say you can't practice T1 enough. I must have driven a few thousand laps now and I'm still slowly improving on T1. I've analysed a bit with the new LRA tool but I've really only improved through practice. It's an amazingly difficult corner, and almost impossible to fluke.

Thanks for the replies. From what you said I take it that the comparison is made between the rotational wheel speed and the C of G of the car, rather than the speed calculated at the location of the wheels (to take into account the extra/reduced speed the wheels travel in relation to the ground due to the cornering radius)?

Thanks! Probably a stupiud question but what is the "slip ratio"?

Looks great! I've never tried F1PerfView after I read it was not very user friendly. It actually looks quite good though, but this looks even better. Could someone please post a raf file so I can try it again, I don't have LFS with me at the moment? Thanks.

Hey Mumble! Thanks, I have noticed too that the harder I try, the later I brake into T1. If I actually brake a bit earlier I tend to be faster through the first split. Also found as you did that tight on the apex is best.

As for thinking, I go to bed thinking about how to improve on T1, I can't help it (I know, I need to get out more) Interesting point about watching people online, I hadn't noticed that.

Maybe see you on Redline sometime.
