Hi!

I know that the G25 wheel works on mac but only with like 200 degree steering and without the h-shift.

How does it work if you run Vista on it? (Boot Camp).
Same or might it work with 900 degree and shifter then?

You need to instal profiler to adjust the wheel. Which afaik is also available for Mac, right?

That’s quite a small image, could you make it bigger for people to read?

click on it

Did some testing too.

XRT at BL3 ( replay attached), G25, H-shifter, manual clutch

If you stall the car, by just letting the clutch too fast, it will shift easily through gears.
However, if you switch off the ignition, to get the 1st gear engaged, you need to either press the throttle a bit (that is whats weird) or use CL. It will go from 1st to second fine after, but to get further to 3rd, you'll have to repeat the above.

You just need some time to practice with G25 and you'll become as fast as used to be.
After a few months with 720* lock, H-shifter (CL obiously ) I'm justa tenth slower than I used to be with 200* lock wheel and paddle shifting (CL too though)

I'm afraid the real problem in your case is the low lock the wheel has. FFB can't operate fast and accurate with low lock steering lock of the wheel and inaccuracy of steering sensors (Pots used afaik). For example it sends the wheel to the left, but a little to much, so it gives the comand for opposite motion, yet again too much, and so the wobble is started, same happend in the straight line. G25 has optical sensor and higher lock allows for more accurate FFB work, so this problem is way less noticable with it.

PLEASE remove the swearwords filter, it catches uhm as a swearword^^

No need to remove it, but an overhaul definetly required. It warns me for words like "idiot" but completly ignores some words that are very offensive, thats a bit unlogical IMO

Quote from Flame CZE :

I have G25. So i stop and set to neutral and turn the engine off. Then when I change to 1st gear on my H-shifter without clutch pedal, in stays in neutral. But then when I press the handbrake button, it will change to 1st.

well, I can change through gears when the car is staying steadily without moving (maybe you were rolling very slowly?). Allthough sometimes it will go from 1-2-3, but won't engage 4th, if I press the gas pedal slightly, it engages. A bit weird

Quote from bbman :

The open wheelers don't even have a brake light and yet people seem to manage fine...

yes, they don't, what I was reffering to, was that people might misunderstand flashing of rear lights as braking, and react supposedly.

Yes, it isn't, but it was an anology to this, which is hardly a mass production engine either

Quote from M3THANOL :

Rotarys suck , what u mean. Lets take the 1991 LeMans winner the Mazda 787b, powered by the pinnacle of all rotaries, the Mighty R24B 4 rotor rotary engine. A 2.6L engine that was naturally aspirated and kicked out 700Hp!, how can u say they suck, they are unique, sound great and when tuned propperly, will destroy nearly anything that get in their way

When you slow down a lot on the track (to recover or avoid collision with a spun driver) you're causing a yellow flag, I suppose thats the reason for your flags

Quote from kingfag :

The headlight button is similar to the signal/flash function on real car's headlights. I'm actually not sure if that function actually turns on all the lights on a normal car. I don't think so, but I never actually noticed it.

no it doesn't, thankfully, can't imagine what mess it could make by drivers driving behind thinking you've started braking.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Unless we get the DSG version. 7 speed manual clutchless. Sounds weird, but will have insane acceleration

I doubt we'll get a new type of transmition for it, even though if we do, the tiny time advantage of faster shifts(about the same as Flatshifting as we can now) will not cancel out 150kg of extra weight, neither will make it 5 sec faster on the track

Quote from slickstyle :

the engine wont let you load the whole track? thats not right surely you can load the whole track? it lets you load a bit of it why not all, (exept them roads that dont leard anywere)

Scawen explained it already, that its too much of a load on a graphics engine, if you're a super prgrammer that can prove him his own engine can, go on

Would also be good to have a line of text in the Welcome screen telling that server uses restriction or something like that too

Quote from JJ72 :

why you need to see the wheel to know where it's pointing? like....you are holding it right?

indeed Even when drifiting with 720* ffb and my hands give me a perfect feel where the wheel at and where I should rotate it

Quote from JO53PHS :

It must vary depending on where you are in the world.

This is my laptop (not the actual thing, but the same model), and in this picture the '4' key has only the $ sign on it, whereas on my laptop it has both $ and € symbols on the '4' key.

Only have "$" and ";" on my keabord's 4 button, guess thats Russian Windows for you

I have english laylout by default, still doesn't work.

Quote from G!NhO :

but a V8 just sounds MUCH better than a inline 4, an inline 4 sounds more like a small electric motor from an RC car.

Go see the doctor, your Listening is messed up...

Quote from molocco :

maybe we all should write logitech emails until the rewrite the drivers in a way that they only use 10% of the motor power for the self calibration test?
when using the wheel we all can turn down the feedback strength, so i can´t see any reason why the wheel must use all of its power just for a sensor and movement test.

peace mo

Wheel starts to calibrate as the power from USB starts, thats before even windows starts so drivers have no connection to it

And these are the stats for the 2008 Scirroco:
http://www.carfolio.com/specif ... ns/models/car/?car=184613

The FXO will have serious trouble

FXO will destroy Scirocco easily, its 150kg lighter while ~15 more powerful

Doesn't work for me

1. Use search, that has been discussed to death already
2. LFS general section?
3. Aren't you left 3 or 4 times already?:rolleyes:

[edit by Sam] Agreed. Merged into the existing thread

Quote from Dark Elite :

This is for increasing realism? Nice.

Personally, I don't feel the need for this update, but for those who do, it might be an idea to have a "prepare for gearshift" button assigned.
Sam

Mapping this button to a switch attached to the shifter should work perfectly Allthough, I don't really know how anyone will put a button on top of the shifter

Silly me, buying games for 50€
We also used to call games in Vietnamese marketplaces half-legal till customs service took over...

In some countries there aren't any strict laws about those half-legal CDs DVDs. For example in here, you need to search really well to find an original CD, they do cost 4 times more though, so no one really buys them. Sadly, 95% of CDs are pirate ones in here

Driving any car is easy. Driving it fast on the other hand...
