I think you just need to go and try mate, it's not dangerous you know!

Master Skinnerz site probably a good place to start

click force feedback - NO in options/controls/axes

Great Britain National Plates.
Not seen these yet? There are other designs with no euro stars ,full and abbreviated country names.
Sorry cant find other images,but here's the info

I take it you cant get access to works pc? Anybody you can ask at old work to lock ?
Apart from that I think you might have to wait till next update to force an unlock if password change doesnt work

Go to the hard drive manufacturers website , usually have some diagnostic tools.
for example
or
Lets you know lots about the drive

Its gone quite quiet around here , think we need some more promotion of the league .
Not seen the banner at the top right advertising the GTAL ? LFS News maybe?
Let people know there are still places available , and they will come

The current plan is to also include another car in the initial content of the S3 license.
As well as Scirocco
New car and new track

Its Christmas come early

The race cars are to fast to learn how to H shift , IMO .
Start with slow uf1 or similar,you will have loads more time during braking to downshift /upshifts on exit
Don't use the shifter to fast or hard ,learn where the gates are gently.

Blipping the throttle to match revs on downshift helps , but the pedals are not really set up for this out the box,the brake is to soft to proper heel/toe and not close enough to throttle.

Your totally correct about the lag of g-forces ,when messing up a change, your not getting your face slammed against the windscreen to tell you it was messed up .
I found using 'Acceleration shift viewpoint ' settings useful.

Now I use H-shifter for messing around on road cars ,and paddles/auto clutch for racing ,since I don't have a force dynamics rig to give me G

Try a realistic steering wheel angle / lock on front wheels ,as per this thread ,to get real life steering ratio .
Lock on front wheels makes a huge difference to sensitivity.
In the FZR I use 540 steering/21 wheels to give a 12.8:1 ratio .
If you use 25 at the wheel the ratio goes to 10.8:1, much more twitchy.

Dont try and be as fast right away , it will take time .
Patience is a virtue

Quote from Gnomie :

Or just open the sound files in the sound recorder program which is included with Windows and simply increase the volume of each file manually.

Your a genius mate , didn't know you could do that .Makes a huge difference

oops!

I found some real life values while trying to convince my team mate that his 450 deg steering/25 deg wheel lock for the FZR set up is a bit too sensitive!! (9:1)

Impreza sti - 15:1
Impreza Type RA - 13:1
Impreza Spec C - 13:1
Ford GT - 17.1
BWM Z4 M Coupé - 12.8:1 (2.8 turns)

Emailed them and they have changed the list

You're absolutely right. Nasty mistake we made.
We corrected 19xx to 19xx now.
Thank you very much for your attention!

Yup , seem to be ,on the few I just checked

After further testing in version Z,there seems to be more discrepancies in twelve of the cars ,and all tyre types.
Only seems to be on the rear.

FO8 - garage max 23.9 / F12 max 30.4

FOX - garage max 23.9 / F12 max 27.3

FBM - garage max 23.9 / F12 max 26.1

FZR - garage max 34.8 / F12 max 30.4

XFR - garage max 32.6 / F12 max 43.5

UFR - garage max 23.9 / F12 max 37.0

FZ5 - garage max 58.7 / F12 max 50.0

RAC - garage max 50.0 / F12 max 47.8

XRT - garage max 58.7 / F12 max 54.4

XRG - garage max 47.8 / F12 max 52.5

XFG - garage max 45.7 / F12 max 54.4

UF1 - garage max 39.1 / F12 max 43.5

(pressures in psi)

I found this bug while making a set for the GT Series , which forces use of R2 tyres.
Done a few laps in FZR, pressed F12 , tried to increase pressures from 32.5psi at pit stop, to find the pressure settings dropped to 30.4psi as soon as I pressed to increase pressure.
