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:

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...

k ill remove the pics and the mpr..

It is forbidden to post things like "Driver A" is hacker, everyone ban him!", but its allowed to post a replay where everyone can watch what really happend and make his own opinion

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

Is it auto?

Its US, obviously it is :rolleyes:

Quote from ssm :

Oh no, not this again. Look, you are just saying this because of jealousy.

You read it all wrong. Usually by first car its understood that its the very first car and a driver has no experience, thus thinking that 320hp is too much for a newbie

uhm...There is only one working Race track in UA as far as I know, and that one is about 600km away from me

Quote from obsolum :

I haven't had the chance to try the handicapped FXO. How much was the ballast anyway?

It's just that in the thread about TBO balancing in the CTRA subforum, it was stated that a mere 2% air intake restriction should be enough to balance the class. 3% was said to be already too much of a handicap, and there wasn't even any mention of added ballast. And now I read here that a 3% restriction plus ballast made for good racing

I think you misread what was posted there, Becky stated that during patch X (when global balancing was used) with 3% FXO was the slowest car, although no one mentioned that with 3% restrictions FXO also had 70kg of ballast back then, thus saying that 3 % were a lot, but only saying - no one did any tests...

Quote from zeugnimod :

It was not close at all. At least not when of two similarly skilled drivers, one drove a FXO and the other one a RB4/XRT. Did you watch the results after every race? If Pallu wasn't on the server, 7 or 8 cars of the top 10 were almost always FXOs.

Agree, FXO was way more dominant, not to mention that almoust all the pack was contained of them, thus making racing "close", mainly because it was one car races...

Quote from obsolum :

To be honest, I found the racing was already pretty damn close in the FXO without the restrictions. But maybe that's just because I suck Which means I'll suck even more now

You don't suck at all IMO, quite a fast driver, and I was finding it hard to fight with you in even in FXOs, with XRT which I mostly use, its almoust impossible, and I do know how to drive it

Quote from Bean0 :

Whinging FXO drivers.

I don't think it will make mush of a diffirence anyway, as those who whine, just can't accept that they just can't drive, and those who really can drive FXO are still more than competeve.
Allthough I agree that ballast should be in, after all FXO is the easiest to drive, it SHOULD be handicapped.

Personally for me cocpit view is faster, because I can feel the cars position and balance a lot better than with chase view.

Quote from Fabio Maximus :

2 days ago, when i was leading in bl gp and going to win,someone come to the server and said:'oh no blackwood' and vote end race. Then a mid joiner and some racer also vote to end. So i lose my points and wins. And they even didn't feel any sorry for me.

I'd report that idiot. Mid joiners have absolutly no right to change anything in the race already going.

Quote from lovretta :

Really? I've driven several cars with no abs, few times had hard braking, few years ago from almost 140kph (~85 MPH) and tires locked all the way to zero kmh. Car in this case is Renault Clio 1.5dci (65HP) ~1000kg
Also recently, I braked from little over 100km/h (60mph) and wheels locked totally - tires on the car were around two weeks old. This here is Renault 19 1.4 (72HP), 930kg...

So i think your statement isnt quite right.

Like it was explained in above posts, it may vary, it may depend on such factors as width of your tyres, weight of rims etc

Quote from ssm :

Why would you do that? Do you want to be standing on your brakes every time you try to stop? It's better to have vacucme assist.

He doesn't want to remove pressure booster, he wants to lower the brake pressure a bit, sounds sensible for a track car, because you never want the brakes to lock from a slightest touch

Quote from zeugnimod :

Online at: BTCC Touring 2008

Yeah it was a mistake, problem was solved quite quickly
I actually deleted that message but it was renewed somehow I guess?

EDIT: Regarding handicaps, I think it works pretty good. Not only it made a line up filled with cars like RB4/XRT, but it also keeps FXO at the level with others. Even on such a tight track as AS1R FXO wasn't pulling out of corners like mad. They did go out of corners a bit faster, but they hardly can use that advantage, as the advantage in speed is minimal and is canceled by not being able to pass the "slower" car. Just great!

I think I was just banned from the server. Could anyone exlpain why the hell that happend? I was rear ended at T1 by someone not taking care about that the pack is moving slowly through T1 and when I was driving at the very back I was kicked from the server? Is it a mistake or what?

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Putin when he was the President (main guy) he was starting to change Russia, and sielntly invested more and more in the milatery. Now as I understand all/most of the main power in Russian politics is held by the president, and they can only hold office for 4/6 years....I can't remember, but there hapens to be a lower postion than president, which can hold great political power.

So as Putins regin came to an end,

Oh, no it don't. Nothing changed tbh, Medvedev is just a doll

You should have noted in this thread that there is a handicap system working now

Quote from Mazz4200 :

So with todays level of engineering expertise i think anyone could get between 250 and over a million bhp from a 1.3l, easy.

OMG :rolleyes:

Quote from Gegry1992 :

i have game account (password) and 20-30server at yesterday :S

What version of LFS do you use?

Quote from Klutch :

To fix the delay, when you approach the shift point, the animation can move down to the gear shift, and once you shift, the game registers, shifts, and puts has hand back onto the wheel until the next shift point arrives.

However, if you hit it to redline and dont shift, he'll have his hand on the gear until YOU shift it.

...Not sure if people get what i mean or not.

...and what if you are short-shifting? Animation on upshifts is only the top of the iceberg, how will you make the animation work on Downshifts? TBH, I don't care about driver animations at all, because I use neither wheel or driver options, but for those who use them, constant useless movements of hands will only distract and annoy IMO
