i caught someone talking about cracked s2 on the demo server so what shall i do with this replay??? post it up on here for all to see or send it to someone in particular so they can deal with it?

i have three pedals but i cant use the axis when set to mouse/kb can i make my pedals work some how aswell as use the stabilsed option?

Quote from xaotik :

Since it doesn't have analog sticks then why not use a joystick to keyboard mapping program (like JoyToKey) to assign keypresses to the gamepad's direction controllers and then use "keyboard-stabilized" in LFS?



I think it already does this for keyboard control, so using the above idea you would have that too.

thanks works fine.

i think its great i have even set fast steer to the same as my accelerate button aswell

all electrical goods have 12months garantee.

i have other hardware (wheel) but sometimes its tiring so i get out the game pad and wow isnt it fun to go from left to right in an instant....

but can i have the option to have it stabilised the same as what you can with a kb and how much stabilisation it can give out i dont know if you can do this or if its hard to do it but i have no idea im no genius "very far from it"

P.S. my game pad has only full left full right or center

also is there anyway of the game knowing how fast im going and then to limit the speed of the steering. so if im doing 125mph in the xrt i would like the steering slower than what i would if i was doing 30mph round a sharp turn.

thanks for the map Scawen

Dave.

whoops look at my shadow....thats on the wall

i thought i would take a picture from another angle.

:woohoo: Scawen i love you the map is peeerrrrfect

:elefant: :static: :clapclap: :static: :boing: :static: :clapclap: :static: :elefant:

btw i was fiddling with the screen/graphics settings to see if there was any changes with the fps with some very oddly low settings i managed to get a massive 115fps with a 16mb graphics card and the screen still "looked" ok

Dave.

this is for a dedicated host so i cant go to remove bans and just remove them.

i think the ban editor worked but im unsure yet.


EDITED i have just used the lfs ban editor and removed all of the ip's that were in there and now my server cant even be seen by anyone.

whoops i unbanned everyone form the normal hosting and not the dedicated server.

i cant find the ban file

i found it.

how can i find the list of people that have been banned on my server?

i tried doing /unban X but it didnt work X being the username.

knowing me im probably posting in the wrong place. but anyway...because to me live for speed is playing a computer game and there are a few tracks (thanks) that i cant remember every turn so i like to look at the map but when i do the screen has lots of text covering the map is it possible to be able to move the map so its not covered by any text. i know i like to read what people say aswell so i dont block messages.

is it possible to have the option to be able to change its size and position thanks.

i just put windows 2000 onto another hard drive (vista is on the other) now i get a message saying "could not display and suitable screen modes" directx 9 is installed what now.

i went inot dxdiag and it sais it cant do direct3d make sure i have the right drivers.

i looked on ebay for a wheel that has force feedback. i looked at one that said it had force feedback and then i read the whole thing about that wheel and it said "you can feel the vibration in your hand" so which ones have the motors for the actuall force ie turning the wheel for you and which ones just vibrate thats not what i want i have one of them and there shite.

Quote from xaotik :

Doh... right - I was thinking in terms of "1 complete turn from lock to lock with my wheel"... how self-centered of me.

i am pretty much ready to align the pot and stick it to te casing somehow and then figure out how to make the wheel stop befiore it hits the end of the pot stop pix coming right now

all i have to do is put the wires onto the pot, try and get a nice route for the big black wire for the buttons on the wheel and make some kind of stop for the wheel at a certain amount of degrees it dont even have to be 900 i think i can have around a massive 1000 degrees but i wont put it that high maybe 900 will bo ok i can go lower if i need to the black wire isnt very long.

i have figured out what to do with the wire after lookin at it for hours i am going to take them out of the plug one by one and feed it through the center of the wheels cog.

any sudgestions on how to make the wheel stop at a certain amount of degrees?

as you can see fom the pictures there is a small peice of alloy from a "pc tower" and if anything gets jammed in the cogs the metal will bend which is good i think as it may save my cogs from getting broken.

ok wires are done it turns freely and i am just about to test it but i cant get it to stop ie from center to left at 1 1/4 turns and to the right from center by 1 1/4 turns. if i turn the wheel to far the pot comes to a stop and the metal plate bends and the cogs jump out of place. so i need to find a way of making the wheel stop.

i had soem trouble withit reading ok then when i turned it so far the steering would get stuck i found that it was the case of the wheel pushing down into the top of the pot so after some aligning of the pot again and ripping off some of the plastic for clearing its all ok now...

BUT i rolled it twice in two minutes on blackwood

guess the price

havign as much accuuracy allows me to have very fast times on the oval with the bf1 but when it comes to trying to drift with the xrt then there is no hope. so....

i dont even think im going to buy a dfp there is no way in hell that i would even use the 900 degrees i can be confident enough to say that i would be happier buying a cheap one that has force feedback. so for the price of nothing i may of saved myself some money to.

Dave.

i will take some photos as soon as i get stuck and need help thanks so far guys

i have one cog on the wheel and im now about to remove the big chunk of plastic that is stopping my wheel from going any further than 180 degrees

i hope there is enough "give" in these wires going to the buttons on the wheel

whats our views on this...

attaching some fishing wire or similar "has to be strong enough" to a moving point in the wheel "inside casing" and then attach the other end of it to the casing so when it comes to being at the stop i want it the "string" becomes taught and wont allow for any more moving in one direction and then do the same for the other direction illepall what do you think?

will the wires get tangled up?

Quote from xaotik :

Wouldn't that be 450 though? 2.5 * 180

one complete turn is 360 degrees

Quote from xaotik :

Put a limiter on the large cog - that's the one that will be travelling 180 degrees anyway so just drill a hole and put a small screw in where it's centered so it'll act as a "stopper".

aslong as it dont snap the cog when i give it a good thrashing.

i think have two cogs here "from a printer" that i can make my wheel turn "1 1/4" turns in one direction so thats..."2 1/2" turns in total whats that in dergrees? oh duh 900

the smallest cog i can find has 18 teeth and thats quite a tiny little wheel but it will do so all i need to do is multiply it by 5 and see if i have a cog with that amount of teeth...

18 X 5 = 90 its a good job i can count i had trouble counting 18 teeth

the only thing im worried about is the how im going to stop the wheel at so many turns at the moment it has a big chunk of plastic at 180 degrees either side which i will have to remove to be able to turn the wheel past it but i need to stop it at how ever many degrees it will come out at.

i just took apart a lexmark printer that i was throwing away it has loads of cogs inside of it and i have another one to pull apart yet. i also found a motor. now how do wire that up to have ff

i wont be doing the ff just yet im more interested in just making it turn more at the minute only because one slightest turn of the wheel sends me into outerspace when im in cockpit view.

if it was more turns then i would have to remove the springs that are inside mine so it will just be free to spin but i dont want it turning to far and twisting the shite out of the pot.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RW-Racin ... tem?hash=item320037384830

i found one with 50 teeth on but i cant find any with 10 on.

ok so i need two cogs one with 50 teeth and one with ten teeth and teeth with the same width and height on both cogs. goes and looks on ebay for remote control car spares
