Quote from chavm481 :what does Scawen have to say about this?

Have you ever seen a single post of any of the devs in this section? Its sort of trash can so people don't spam other sections with suggestions...

Quote from Ripley :Well, I just bought it and installed, the Driving Force GT that is, and wingman team software.
Wow ! Talk about immersion factor !!! The only thing that disappoints me so far is that I have to go out tonight...you know, social life...

Since I never had a wheel before, and it took me quite a bit to figure out how to make it work in LFS, can someone point me to a setup guide, the do's and dont's, and so on ??

Thanks

Quote from eimer_ :well, if this is no joke, please go ahead and tell me!

Quote :Must be from an old car... Explains why all the old folks don't get passed 60KM/H!

I'd be so confused where the higher gear is, that I'd rather stay in lower gear and drive slowly

My G25 became off center 4-5 degrees. Allthough I centered the center position with DXtweak and I very rarely go to the FFB stops (720* set), it still kind of annoying and would be interesting if it is possible to repair (manually)

Quote from lerts :by now im the only one who voted less than 90

but i cant believe it high sensitivities are much safer and faster

it must be some kind of shadowy secret

no secrets at all...

More lock - more preciseness,

But don't try to think that you can adopt to high lock fast, it takes days atleast...

Well, I hope you understand that your FFB force will be a lot lower with Momo's internals?

Good luck anyway, I'm interested in seeing what you'll be done with

Quote from jockenielsen :I have the right settings. When i put it in gears in settingsmenu i see that it respond with the right buttons. But ingame it doesnt work!

Just a guess, are you trying to use H-gate mode with cars like FXR/XFR/XRR/FO8,FOX,FBM?

Quote from MAD3.0LT :lol locked diffs are usless??
why dose the entier V8 Supercar race serise cars use them with a live axel????

if done properly a locker can be fast its just unforgiving to heavy feet drivers

i race my car on the track with a locker and yes it is a handfull but i would never go back to a lsd again

oh and RL drifters dont use lockers they use 2way LSD's

Isn't Detroit Locker (thats the thing used in V8s, right?) a bit diffirent to Welded diff (Locked diff in LFS)?

Quote from Cimanu :I have this exact problem, I'm gonna open my shifter up tomorrow, i could get a new one from gaurentee but your fixes sound far easier.

Is it just that yellow wire?

Don't open it, just send it to replacement. No one can garantee that its just a yellow wire problem for you. If its not, you won't fix your shifter and WILL loose the warranty, does the risk worth it?

Quote from FD3S_RYO :.... and V8s are the laziest engines in the world.

Yes, F1 engines are the laziest in world :rolleyes:

Revs of cars in LFS are more than normal, rev limiters were LOWERED in previous patch (Y), to be more realistic. Don't see any chances of raising them in a nearest future

Thrustmaster RGT Pro seems to be the only decent wheel with analogue paddles atm

I've noticed this thread only yesterday, and I must say I became interested immideatly. I didn't liked Race 3 server before that change because I don't like restricted GTR cars, and prefer sGTR, but Gt2 cars were much faster, so I couldn't have good racing on Race 3, until now. Spent a few hours racing UFR there yesterday, great job, CTRA. Keep the standard high

Quote from chavm481 :well GT5P is not done! so why compare a compleated game to one that isnt compleated yet?

GT5P is complete, released to public product. It IS done. GT5 is a not completed game, which basically will be the core of GT5P (the graphics, physics) just with more content, so the comparison is more that valid.

Quote from hansonator69 :There was the M3 Challenge, which first prize included a G25 with a BMW F1 style wheel. With working LCD too.

Just in case, there is a thread in Wheel section where one guy fitted Momo wheel on his Logitech, shouldn't be hard to find

Quote from peterules :ok, just wizzed thru ur posts and think there is an easy but "maybe" expensive solution to the wheel...

After playing with a G25 i noticed that i was driving the Openwheel cars with a conventional steering wheel. As i mainly drive the Formula cars it would be nice to have a detachable wheel which you can change everything u switch cars, kinda like in fast & furious when the guys carrying around he's momo. i'd be carrying a F1 wheel lol

Just ffod for thought...

It would be FAB if the G25 had a F1 style wheel!

Actually, its not that hard to do, all you need is the S-S wheel you want (any RL wheel can fit) with drilled wholes, deattaching G25s wheel is quite easy, you'll only loose two red buttons if you do change

Quote from Dac :since the discussion is already started can anybody tell me how to get a quick start in the XRR? i seem to bog down and get left behind.

thanks,

Well, you will fall behind a bit, even if the start is ideal, just because of weight distribution of XRR, its the slowest car of the line. Before the lights, you should step on the throttle to get some turbopressure. At the green light you release the clutch, wheels start to spin, let off a tiny bit, so they can regain grip and then floor it as usual, nothing hard tbh

Both high and low steering locks have their own advantages and disadvantages, as everyone has his own tastes.

Low lock helps you to countersteer faster and save the car more often, but the downside of it is that turning to much is easy, so you can provoke a slide accidentally, also front tyres will suffer a lot more.

High lock gives you a lot bigger axis range to work with, so you can perform a much more accurate manipulations with steering wheels, the car is less prone to oversteer cause over steering, front tyres are much less punished also. Of course if you'll be bumped in the rear quater panel, you have less chances to save it, but it's not impossible

While high lock takes quite a bit more time to accomodate, but it does have it advantages IMO.

Also, another playing factor is realism. Many people play LFS as it is a realistic (to a certain point ) sim, and they want to play it realistically, meaning playing with a steering wheel, not gamepad. Using locks comparable with lock of RL cars is one thing that adds realism to the driving, while also giving a extra challenge

Personally, I use 900* lock in road cars, in S-S and GTRs - their corresponding lock. Is it harder? -Sure, but that only makes it more interesting. I'm not an alien, but I surely can compete with others. The thing I don't get, is why buying a G25 if you're not going to use shifter and lock of higher than 270, I'd use my old FF EX if I wanted that Yeah yeah...better quality etc. I still don't think its a reason to overpay

The conclusion of all this is, each to his own. Let people use whatever they want.

Quote from Zen321 : I tried racing with 900° instead of 720° and my setup that was really really reponsive on 720° seemed sluggish here, just because it took longer steering wheel rotation to perform the same wheel rotation.
So 720° here isn't irrealistic.

I'd say you needed more time to accomodate. I use 900* rotation in all road cars, just for the sake of fun (harder=more fun) and I didn't find it much less responsive than 720*. Just require some time to get used to, thats all really

IMO, Horn is useless in GTRs. Well, atleast I can barely hear it, because of wind and engine noise

Quote from Calvinaquino :Cant say much. never seen a car do that IRL... but looks real.

I don't think it really possible, well, driving for a long time difenetly. Driving for a few seconds might be possible in theory though, as when the car will be going upside down, the force pushing its driven wheels to the gorund will be much smaller the at horizontal position, so its more likely the car will have wheelspin, slow down (or even spin) and fall on the ground
