You need to lift the throttle in order to shift, just like in FBM

Quote from Scawen :

Sorry, I was a bit slow to update the unlocks. But everyone has 2 now.

NOTE : If you had Y30 or Y31 you can just use the auto updater to patch to Y32. Just click list of hosts.

Thank you Please ignore my sent mail

Quote from PaulH :

Dang, "Unlocks for this week all used". And I was pretty sure I should have had at least 1 free anyway.

same here

The headlights of XRR are aftermarket lights which replace pop-up headlights of XRT/XRG so there is nothing to open or close on it. On XRT/XRG though

CTRA is for licenced players only, or are you a licenced racer logged under demo account?

Quote from gp4racer :

remember try to put the brake pedal a further back of the gas pedal. I saw to some guy for reach this put and sparco face over the brake with two spacers and this give to him the TnH action, this was made for their g25 pedals.

Quote from Almadiel :

Normally when I downshift, I double clutch and skip gears. As soon as I get on the brakes I shift into neutral, then as I enter the corner I shift into the lower gear, heel and toe, and slowly lift off the clutch. Do I lose time with this approach as opposed to what you guys have described?

In LFS most of sets use a low braking force in setups to prevent locking of wheels in almoust any situation (read very low) which ofcourse increases your braking distance. To compensate that, people use engine braking (used to be really excessive in previous patches) to decrease braking distance with such sets. If the set you are using have a proper amount of braking force and balance than you probably don't loose anything except that car may be less stable under heavy braking

Quote from Mans :

I really don't get why. Not trying to be an ass by any means just trying to figure it out When you're braking why not depress the clutch the whole time, shift into the desired gear, rev match and let the clutch come up?

Mainly because you won't be able to use engine braking (shortens brake distance if the set your using is set so) and car becomes a bit unstable when you can't use engine to vary brake balance and balance of the car overall

@ mikey g
Its not just the case of breaking something when dismantling !
logitech paint all there securing bolts so once they have been disturbed it flakes off.
Yes you can repaint them but
Its never looks the same and its a simple tell tale that the case has been off .
Extra buttons required on the wheel for look left, & right, ventrillo, pit limiter etc .
Yes the shifter has more buttons but as a personal preferance i like to have them at my fingertips.
@ art555
Good idea, was my plan to do this first, but would still need to open up the wheel to run cables so decided to try this way first if it doesn't work or i'm not happy with it them its back to plan a

Well, As you 've already ordered wireless pad, my way still have some sense.Some sort of stand alone button box I guess, not the most estetic decision, but functionality is a priority for some of us I just thought where are comfortoble places for buttons and right near the edge of the base seems to quite a confortable place for one. Anyway, good luck

Quote from Technique :

Skipping gears is probably much faster with the right driver. You can focus on applying the perfect amount of braking. Rev-matching is also probably more difficult as well.

I prefer gearing down one at a time, maybe just because I'm used to it and I find skipping gears a bit awkward. It's also more fun But unless you have an amazing technique, you will probably be losing time braking. I don't know about you guys, but if you were to analyze my braking, you wouldn't see a constant optimal brake pressure applied - there would be points where it's uneven when I'm blipping the throttle. Even if it's minute, I'm losing time here.

In LFS, I think any driver using either technique will probably be slower than some joe schmoe using paddles and auto-clutch that can easily focus on and consistently apply the optimal brake pressure.

I usually change gear one by one in road cars as the amount of time you spend under braking is comfortable enough to do everything right, but in a car like FZR I find it much easier to go 6-4-2 for example at intensive braking zones, as the time you spend under braking forces you to downshift fast which often can cause an error.

Quote from Kniebeejs :

WTF? Jobanā huiņa

:ices_rofl

Not sure if its easy to do, but I guess the alternative way can be to put some buttons on the wheel base's front panel, right behind the wheel. In that way you won't have to mess a lot to keep the pad(or button box etc.) on the wheel itself when it will shake and rotate while buttons will be still easy to reach, just a thought

I'm not sure that orginal drivers come for Vista too, maybe try to download latest drivers from Logitech for Vista?

Taking in the account that XFG is about 860kg, it will need only about 170-180 hp, but even this amount of power is a lot for such a short wheel-base car

I did actually, the question is, why this way of tracking doesn't work with LFS (does it?), while Keicha, TrackIR, FreeTrack work, it seems to me that this isn't an LFS's problem

Quote from CobraDrifter :

Stage 3 is the final stage,there's no S4.

Thats still not the reason for people not to start bitching

Head tracking already works in LFS by default (Track IR, FreeTrack etc.) so what are you talking about?

Quote from Gnomie :

Who cares? It's under your table, you know. Besides, I didn't think it turned out looking too bad myself.

I did the same mod as you and it indeed helps a lot. Yes, the arc is diffirent now, but the travel of the pedal is still the same so it hardly changes anything driving vise. Yes, you have to rise your ancles a bit more, but I don't find it as a problem, so this mod is a very good way to improve consistency of your driving

It is trivial, you need to calibrate your wheel in LFS too, just turn it max to right and left

In V8 supercars sersies, I saw mechanics changing brake pads only, the pitstop wasn't longer than1-2 mins afaik

well, RBR v1.02 + G25 (5.02) works just fine for me, probably Vista's fault then

Do you guys have RBR v1.02 patch?

I rarely drive FWD cars (Except the UF1 which has open diff only) and I use LSD in all cars, mainly because my driving style relys on a lot of lift off oversteer and Locked diff does quite the opposite, so I am faster with LSD.

I support Dark Elite on this topic, LFS is a sim for me, and I try to make as close experince to real life as possible, hence why I use 720* rotation of wheel and H-shifter. It's not making me faster than I was using a cheap wheel (for now alteast), but it only makes much more proud when I leave racers who "don't use lfs" properly behind

One the side note, LSD is as fast and in some occasions even faster than locked diff, it just require a fine tunning...

I'd suggest use restrictions of CTRA 3 server as a base to slow down FXR, and then test a bit more on certain combos and detune a bit more as their balance was done in Patch X, while i Y FXR got lighter and faster gearbox

go to control panel > Gaming devices > go into settings of your wheel and uncheck "report combined pedals". Also set "brake/throttle" to separete in LFS options.
