Quote from Knight Spirit :

is there any way to turn vibration off or is it just my wheel?

1#not an issue,but can you tell us which wheel your using?

(and as "Not Sure" stated

Quote :

LFS has no vibration, only force feedback from front tyres.

You should go an read though thishttp://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Wheels to help set up your wheel

This is very similar to a problem i have with my microphone.

Well i have a G25 & a logitech attack3 joystick plugged in all the time,but it also will do this when there not installed!!

If im on TS only,i can be heard!!.

But if im on lfs & driving i cant be heard on TS through my mic ,BUT if i stop driving & spec,i can

Plus+++for some weird reason when i have a conversation on MSN messanger & have LFS running,my car can be heard by the person im chatting with @ the time,but if i try an chat with them...Nothing???

Now i have a logitech 5.1 sound system that takes up all three sound jacks on the back of my com,but i still have two on front for the mic & another speaker\headphone jack.(still i have same prob)

I am using the Realtech AC97 Audio drivers ver 5.36,Cant seem to find any updated drivers,looks like that its the only ver

Dam computers,good thing i didnt spend much on the mic(mind you it not a Al-cheapO)but still to me it was not much...

(well i really would love to get this working,but i guess you guys dont want to hear my ugly voice ranting & spamming anytime soon F***!)

I think i know what your asking....so here i will ramble on............
.-->> SO.....Unplug the G25 & uninstall software......

Then try deleting all registry entry's,by going to the start menu\run and type regedit

This will open registry Editor,go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech

and delete all entrys in the logitech folder & restart computer. reinstalling the g25 software once restarted should fix this problem..

(But if im wrong im thinking this & your problem is just a settings misconfigure plz have a look @ http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=52552

Just remember to check all setting in wingman profiler in the "options" & "Edit" Tabs.

On first installation,By "Default" the g25 is set to 200deg with full Spring & dampening and the force feed back turned off!!!

Wicked ViD



Btw...... :evil: mod!!

Quote from tilt :

I think there very well might be, i only just got my g25 so i would assume its second generation and it doesnt *click* when changing gears like others i have seen and used.

umm,ive had mine for a while now an mine has never *clicked* when changing gears.

Maybe "second-gen" shifters instead

(don't really matter coz)
*nothing* is made to last forever.

If you have a multiple HDD's try reformatting a different one,along side of that hdd,then install "AVAST Anti-virus" & do a boot scan of all drives & make sure to scan "archives" files too..(they also have a virus checker tool too)

Here's a link to there website

Best of luck

Are there any differences in first generation G25's en the newest generation?

Not that im aware of....

Quote from pingy72 :

Just recently my G25 has this sharp ticking sound only when I turn the wheel to the right. At first I thought it was maybe the FFB but the ticking still persist when everything gets unplugged. Right now there seems to be no problems but I'm just paranoid maybe and opening it up is probably my last resort after I sawBlackknight555's pics .

To start with if your wheel is still in warranty,
SEND IT BACK FOR REPLACEMENT!!

Is there anything rattling around inside of the wheel housing??
Inside this wheel there is a "Plastic" slide that runs left 2 right(when turning the wheel) gauging the wheels "900" rotational degree's.Under this is a long thin metal strip,(spring of some sort).
Its possible that is worked its way out of its groove.

I found the porche PCC2007 drives well around blackwood myself...

Just a couple pics(resized)
Must admit its not anything like the real Blackwood RallyX.

@ danowat......:bowdown:

I take my hat off for you kind sir..
You have my greatest Respect!!

Good luck to all entrys..

I don't know you why on earth should I split with my hard earned cash..

Now,why be soo rude....seriously!!
TIGHTASS!!

IF YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING NICE THEN DONT SAY ANYTHING TO START WITH....

@ drpepper090....if i had sum $$ to spare myself, i would help you,but im not working @ moment either(an i have two kids!!)

Keep your chin up mate,A job will come soon(i can feel it)

Just to add to what SilverArrows77 said.

Do any of you guys have more than 1 controller plugged in besides your g25?
(e.g. joysticks/ps2/xbox 360)

I run script's to take care of changing the button functions each time i change to any given cars,Which was my problem when i first connected my Attack3 joystick to use as a handbrake along side of my g25.but because i have scripts to tell lfs which button configuration to use on each car...
what happened when i plugged the joystick in after only using g25 i had all my buttons change there function numbers so instead of pressing the throttle with "throttle axis to rev-up,it had changed to the joysticks forward & backwards axis.(i have since rewritten my script files to suit)

Just saying that the first controller's buttons are assigned a number for each function which can be assigned to any game fuction via the ingame controller configuration,,,,BUT
these numbers/functions change whenever a second controller is introduced..

@ bunder9999--that could well be the problem too,i have come across that before myself(when i was a newbie:dopey

daloonie's skin is more technical,meaning that the "STP" logo & blue/white/red under lay is half on the side & half on the top side of the skin,its harder & takes more time to do this.....And with such perfect straight lines matching up spot-on

So he gets my vote
Great work...keep it up

Quote from R.Kolz :

You raced with a constant engine damage, a kind of GT390 car you had , looking at the last hour or so of the replay and the stats from http://www.lfsworld.net/

Example: Check 8:56:10 to 8:56:25 of the replay (time of race, not replay). Resetting the car to overrev it just 10 seconds later again.

Didnt have the replay till just now,& have looked @ the quality of other team member's quote "said driving"

Coughs**J.Grainger took over from me @ 7:55:57.60 if you watch the replay fully!!

Quote from Blackknight555 :

If you look @ my entire stint,you will see that "I" did not once do a reset.Only pit-in's...

Quote from Blackknight555 :

Plus++ If i had engine damage,i must have been driving well then to make up 5 positions

Quote from R.Kolz :

GL next races.

lmao.....thx anyway,but might not be a next race for "Stryker Motorsports" for a while @ this rate.......Only time will tell

Quote from Koa128 :

what's more, the same guy that was constantly chatting, was driving a GT500 and was behind GT350 cars: Constant Chat + No practice at all.

Well i was the second half of team #133,our third driver was unable to drive for us so i did a extra long stint to make up for this........
(Comment-> i hope your not pointing fingers @ me for not practicing?)
J.Grainger did qualifying & started the race for our team & I took over @ around lap 54,then #133 J.Grainger took over @lap 169 to finish the race as i needed a wee break!!.
I had a reasonably good run on my stint getting back 5 or so places that was unfortunately lost @ the start of the 9hrs)

& just a note i want to add is about chatting..was very unfortunate that my team member had troubles with his computer/TeamSpeak(not sure what/how that came about:shrug I cant control/run his life......
But chatting was unacceptable(as i did once or twice myself! what was i meant to do? Ignore him!!),
So i feel i should "apologize" to all drivers that competed in this 9hr endruo on behalf of my team for this shamble

Hopefully this wont happen again!! :slap:
Not the greatest start i had in mind for "Stryker Motorsports"

Congratz to all that finished

Quote from ferraif40 :

Hi

I have spoke to another 2 guys about doing this, keep us in mind!!

Jon

Sounds great,Im up for it
Just have to speak with that 3rd team member now..

Well done
Its nice to DIY projects like this.
I use the Logitech Attack3 joystick as a hand brake myself

Quote from arc team :

Dear guys,

the problem you mentioned is caused by the motor encoder wheel.

If you open the G25 you'll see a small black plastic box on the rear of the right side motor, inside that box there is a PLASTIC encoder wheel mounted on the motor shaft.
During the normal use the motor shaft gets hot and as the time pass by, day by day, the encoder wheel stands a hard wear and tear 'cause it is gripped on the motor shaft (the wheel hole is precise to the shaft diameter to get it blocked)
At a certain point, the wheel gets a crack on its radius (due to the wheel grip on the shaft + heat) preventing its normal rotation on the shaft.

Yes, it's a pain in the ass 'cause it's a lack of Logitech project department.

The solution is to remove the broken wheel, get it fixed with a drop of instant glue and then try to enlarge the wheel hole using a 3.5mm drill bit rotating it BY HAND very very slightly (don't try to use electric dril or you'll get a pulverized wheel!)

Then, at job done, fix the wheel on the shaft again using the same instant glue (ONE DROP!) directly on the shaft and then insert the wheel at the right position and leave it at rest about 20 sec.

Re-assemble the small electronic board and then close the box.

Now your G25 should be fine again!

I dont think its a good idea going anywhere near the optical encoder wheel
with any kind of drill/tool that way!!!

Plus the encoder wheel wouldn't get that hot during normal wear & tear as to slip/split on the motor shaft....??? if yours did,then its possible that yours was faulty mate

As far as i have found,the encoder bracket being loose on the back the motor is just a factory fault,,e.g..the screws holding the bracket to the motor are hard to get to,possibly a dozen people sitting on a production line being told to assemble these parts without damage, hence the loose bracket! ....there will be faults with anything made....just go's to show the lack of quality control

Quote from okijuhans :

Lightning doesnt fit, but for a first try and you did something new that usual first render guys doesnt do.

So . But fix and be better next time.

I have to say i didn't like the lighting either,well i mean the sun heading is wrong coz im new & am not sure how to change its heading/direction.

Any pointers how to move the sun?? I tried a couple things to change which side the sun hits the car,but just don't seem to make much or any difference.
Plus i did find a brightness & contrast sliders,but lost where they were.......
I am not that familiar with blenders menu's...only had 1 day with this program

Never say Die!!!
I will continue....

Quote from Byku :

Btw. We've already paid, we will not lose anything if they quit,

I dont agree with you there sorry,I feel that i will lose a lot...

I'll lose out on time spent & money ive put into LFS & my sim cockpit/computer......
I dont play much else these days,so yeah.....

I couldnt care how long it takes to finalize LFS,if its still around when im 75yrs old---So will I....gray hair an all...(what's left anyways:tilt

They have a life too!!
