Quote :is still NOT a car

It definetly is a CAR, uhm 4 wheels, engine and that sort of parts you'll find in any automobile :rolleyes:
Allthough, I do agree its a rubbish thing (X6, yes that stupid new SUV)
Quote from Woz :
You know because you have one or know because you have read?

Thats what is written in the mag, that was testing it, I can scan the page and post it, but it will be hardly usefull as it is in russian

Quote from M0RFIUS :.... shouldnt it??

No, unfortunatly. Thats the way lights are switched off in LFS atm...

Just to add, you can also map those bindings for pressing keys in LFS directly, using scripts, which is a better and simpler alternative IMO.

Quote from ajp71 : A DFP with G25 internals would be much worse than a DFP!

I never said it had G25 internals, did I? It has FFB technoligies that were first time implemented in G25, not its internals. FFB became smoother, and way faster than DFP.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :
It's basically a DFP with a horn. Get the G25

Quite the opposite.

It has the technologies tested on G25, so its more of a plastic G25 without H-shifter and clutch, rather than DFP...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Then maybe that's because it's not as simple as swapping over the wheel hub. It has sensors for position and the force feedback thing. If you managed to change the wheel you would probbably have to change the paddles too.

If I were you I'd be happy with what I have. Smile

(Car wheel =/= Game wheel)

Won't fit, drop the plans Frown

Thats absolutly NOT true. If you ever took the wheel off your G25 you'd know it. There are only two wires coming to the red buttons on the wheel, and thats all. You can easily take the wheel off, by unplugging those wires. Putting another wheel should be easy, because G25's wheel is mounted on 6 bolts (which you can see around the Logitech logo, so if the distance between bolt holes of your aftermarket wheel matches, there is nothing stoping you from doing so. Flappy paddles will remain untouched as they are connected to the wheel column only.

Regarding durability, as the wheel is heavier, it might put extra load on motors, so you'd need to rise the FFB. Extra weight might influence on motors life, but I have no idea how much.

There are quite a lot of G25s with aftermarket wheels fitted, so you're not the first one with such ideaTilt

Ofcourse it invalidates warranty, so make your decisions wisely Wink

Quote from Matt0snap :Thats most likely from wear. If you slam the shifter to hard, eventually the buttons in the shifter will break and they will stop working.

There are not buttons inside the shifter that tell the game gear # is engaged, there are two pots, just like the joystick, not buttons. You are right about the wear though, it happends with time, so it's either pot dieing or the soldering which connects pot with wires coming to the circuit board, which is often the weakest link

You can try tweaking Joystick axis with DXTweak2

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

Quote from Flame CZE :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?

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?

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 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
