Quote from Crashgate3 :

You can try tweaking Joystick axis with DXTweak2

Quote from Gnomie :

Where does it say if it's Rev C or not?

ON the pack with CD drivers usually

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

I need help,how to make my ms sidewinder pedal work with dfp,one pedal as a clutch

The easiest way will be just setting the pedals of Sidewinder to separete mode, and then just set it in the options.

If that isn't possible, use DXTweak2 to adjust the MS pedal's axis in the way, so only the travel of right pedal is read, and then just set it in the options.

One of the ways should work definetly

http://www.gamegeneral.bplaced.net/Pictures/vw_1.jpg yes, VWS

Am I blind, or there isn't any boost gauge? Allthough, seeing as most cars don't have one, I suppose its ok

Quote from JasonJ :

you mentioned :There is a command to adjust the wheel turn degrees settings, which I might add is a completely different thing to wheel turn compensation.

lfs/data/docs/Commands.txt contains all scripting commands.

/wheel_turn [degrees] - specify turn angle of controller


you can make a different one for each car by editing the appropriate script files:

lfs/data/script/xfg.lfs
lfs/data/script/xfr.lfs
lfs/data/script/xrg.lfs
lfs/data/script/xrt.lfs etc etc

Thanks, yes, I've seen that command, but as you've said yourself, its a completly diffirent thing, and doesn't work the way I'd like it too.
Well, the decision I've come up with is to have a text saying "Check WTC" everytime I leave pits, just to remind me. Thanks for help anyway

Getting on topic.

As it is seen that VW will have 900* steering lock ingame, I wonder if other road cars will get a more realistic lock values?

Surely there is somebody who knows it?

Quote from Dennis93 :

You CAN bumpstart your car in reverse. even rolling is enough. just use the clutch.

Nobody said you can't, the car just needs to roll in the correct direction

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

You misunderstand what I'm saying.

If you stall the car by stalling the engine, by putting it in reverse by going forward, and then try to bump whilst still travelling forward, it won't.

so...in your opinion, when the car is stalled with Reverse gear engaged, someone bumps into you from the back, so the car jumps in forward direction, the motor should bump start? You do relize even in theory if it will start working in that situation, it has to be rotating backwards, which obviously is impossible.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Example:

You shift from a forward gear, say 5th, into R.

This then locks the driven wheels and stalls the engine.

If you stall in a forward gear, if someone pushes you, or if you roll down a hill you can bump start it.

However, when stalled in R, the car can't be bumpstarted again without turning the ignition on again

It can. You have to be rolling back to bump start it in R gear, obviously

EDIT: Now, before you try to prove I'm wrong, here is the replay.

Nissan/Datsun 280Z?



Yeah, I know it isn't really alike, still worth a try.

Any hints maybe?

Quote from The Very End :

Highly doubt he can do a shit about it lol..

I don't think so Even though, Its worth a try. Unless you don't care about money and just want to buy a new better wheel

Quote from Shadowww :

:d

Quote from The Very End :

Hehe, but I bought it from a pretty fancy store, maybe they got what I need there hmm...

Why not getting the wheel to that fancy store and ask those guys if they know whats wrong and can it will be fixed and for what price? I'm quite sure they might help you, and repair cost will be waaaaay lower than buying a new wheel. Worth a try

Quote from DevilDare :

actually it might be

+1, We had one, and it looks very similiar

:bump:
anyone?

Quote from IIIIIbarcodeIIIII :

Hi all,

Is it possible to totally disable the traction control on the FZ5?

Even when I have toggled it off (either in car or via the setup screen) the TC still tries to take over mid-corner.

there is a button to switch it off, or you can do that from setup screen. If its switched off, the blue light will always be lighted on the dashbord.

Quote from The Very End :

Thanks mate, I take a coke and digg into it

Good luck, and be careful

Quote from The Very End :

Hehe, any link that describes this pot for me? Kind of new to me, but if I had something to read about it on, maybe I could get more of it

Quote from obsolum :

Without trying to be offensive, I think that if you have that problem on every server like you say, it just might be that the problem actually lies with you. True, this kind of behaviour occurs regularly, especially on non-adminned servers, but there's a lot of good and very clean drivers out there as well.

And about the CTRA reports, personally I haven't submitted a report yet that the admins didn't judge as I would expect them to. They are very just and I never have a single doubt that they will take the necessary actions. So the fact that the admin judged your report(s) as being racing incidents... I don't know... kinda makes me wonder how you drive and how you expect others to drive It is racing, after all, not cruising.

If you get shunted off the track when braking for corners that often, maybe you really are braking way too early?

What do you mean with "I almost never race"? What do you do then? Single player? Hotlap? Cruise? Drift? It's a shame, because there really is a lot of fun to be had in good clean racing. Maybe you just had bad luck But hey, as long as you're enjoying LFS in some way or another it's all good I guess

agree. I used to have the similiar opinion, that thats always other fault, but with expirince, I learned to act in the pack properly, expect and think what others racers will do next and so on. CTRA 1 helped me a lot with that. "Idiots are all around, I should expect something stupid from them " is the rule that helps you to learn how to race cleanly in the pack, and not letting others to bump you off

Quote from ACCAkut :

Is my sketch of the sticks mechanics right?

Pretty much

Quote from The Very End :

Norway here, not sure about that.
Problem is that I buyed it from a electric store, and I don't have the note of payment, you know that little note about price etc etc - don't have that anymore.

Is there still a hope here?

Well, if you have no warranty, you've got nothing to loose but to open it and look whats inside. Its not hard. As you described, it sounds like a pot problem, so you should try to unplug it and then replug back, if the problem remains, replacing the pot might be the cure, they shouldn't be hard to find. Just unplug it and go with it to a store/market in a searc of the same one.

I had the same problem, just with pedals, but its the same principles anyway, changing the pot did the trick for me

Hi everyone,
I've searched on the forum and had a look at the wiki manual but didn't find the answer.

What I want to know is it possible to alter wheel turn compensation via scripts for diffirent cars?

Like:
FZR - WTC - 1.0 only uses 540 degrees ingame,
XRT - WTC - 0.0 uses all 900 degrees
and so on.
I didn't find the name of the command to do this, tryed /turn_compensation etc. but it doesn't work

Does anyone know the name of such command and does it exsist at all?

EDIT: Alternativly, there is a line with wheel turn compensation in the cfg.txt, is it possible to alter that value through the script?

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I think that what he means is that with the engine off, the handbrake button is for whatever reason, controlling the gears.

Same happend with pressing the throttle while the engine is off, both of those bugs seem to be have similiar causes anyway
