i suggest socks. it's not the most comfortable operation, but it's easier on the g25 than it is in my car with the steering column limiting my leg's movement.
really tho i think just braking to the appropriate speed and using smooth steering inputs is more important to get on top of before you add heel toe into the mix. like others said, don't worry about what other people are doing. get yourself under control, and then work on getting faster.

not sure what you just said, but i meant when yer braking, brake with your toe, and blip the gas with your heel when you down shift, and downshift to the appropriate gear as your car slows down. really tho, if you're having trouble sliding off the road, i would just hot lap on a familiar course and try to maintain control. heel toe will help you be faster, but if you're having trouble being in control, trying to heel toe could just backfire and frustrate you further.
do you race in real life? i was playing sim racers for years, and i would drive my front wheel drive econobox cars like a madman in real life, but it wasn't till i got a sporty rear wheel drive car when i finally started to be able to throw the rear wheel drive cars around in the games. i guess i didn't completely suck with the front wheel drive cars, but i find it realllly helps to have some frame of reference to real life. that and my friends give me hints on braking, weight transfer and what not. stuff to think about.
for instance, you get better braking if you start soft and then apply more pressure. and when turning you can control the weight transfer. start your turns subtly, and as the weight shifts to your outside wheel you'll get better grip when you crank the steering wheel going thru the meat of the turn.
i'm no expert, but these tips have helped me improve immensely. also, since you have the G25, if you heel toe and get the engine compression helping your braking you can decrease your braking distances, brake later, and slow down to the necessary speed before turning in.
lol, i gave the opposite braking advice as headbanger. i will say when you're turning you want little to no braking going on.

thanx for the welcome y'all! but hmm, you get 80fps with a full grid of AI opponents? the minimum i get is about 24 fps, with an average range of 30-50. if i'm hot lapping it's more like 60-200+fps. it would sure be nice to be getting 80fps with a full grid tho. dunno what the spec differences are between our computers, but i would guess that the numbers say my macbook pro should be faster than yours, but there are probably power usage limits in place reigning back the speed. but i dunno, just a theory.

hey hey y'all. new to lfs and been hanging out on the forum for a couple days. wanted to say hi. this game is sweet.
been playing console sims for years, and was happy with them, until my friend showed me LFS and GTR2. the first thing that impressed me was how bumpy the roads are in these games. the car is being constantly upset. awesome! didn't realize the level of realism i was missing until i experienced it first hand.
then there's his G25, which knocked my socks off.
unfortunately i'm one of those mac users, so i couldn't run these apps, and continued to play forza. then last week i bought a macbook pro to expand my musical capabilities, and thought i'd see how these games run in boot camp. well they run surprisingly well, so i went out and bought a G25 the day i figured that out. this machine plays windows games better than i expected! GTR2 demo will run on full graphics, with a full grid of 16 (think that's the demo limitation) with a smooth framerate. i was surprised LFS couldn't keep up as well, as with as few as 5 opponents my framerate would drop to less than 10fps, but after scouring these forums for ideas, i found if i changed the process affinity to only use 1 core, and set the priority to realtime, the framerate never dipped below 24fps, with 20 opponents and many graphic options turned up, and online play is smooth. great success!
so in summation to this long, pointless, and probably boring thread, i just want to say hi! i'm here now, and will probably pester y'all occasionally
