No, the gears don't move to engage, the dog rings and selectors move to link the input shaft to a particualr gear set. Helical or straight cut makes no difference in this, it's down to whether you have dog rings (race boxes) or syncro rings (road boxes).

i was trying to say that, came out a tad wrong

i think its safe to say, non of us on here al real lookers

im not treading through 8 pages of crap :P

Yep, I think LFS needs a Stockcar and a short oval to kickstart LFS in the US, KY Oval is a bit long.

Something like Bristal

Well, when a certain canada-land man shows his face, im sure well all book the next ticket to mars...

yes, most gearboxs have the gears already meshed (Constant mesh), but the gears still have to move to engage.

Giz, I actually found that pic on Jakgs site before he told us UKCT folk the link :P, literally 5 minutes prior :P

And the needed Photoshop.

ROFL!!

Well, finally got a self-mugshot

well, helical gears need to be slowed down in order to sync with with gears, because of the nature of helical gears (the angle) and the distance between the splines, its dificult to change gear while they are moving at speed.

wether as strait cut gears, the distance between the splines is greater, and the chance of the gears syncing at speed is greater.

(Had a lesson on gearboxs last week at collage, its still vague...)

the interwebs works wonders these days

Clutchless shifting in road cars is much harder than race cars, its because road cars have helical gears, where as race gearboxs have strait cut.

helical being quite gears, and strait cut being loud (hense the wining you here on most race cars)

My cousing used to clutchless shift in his beetle, with a loud "CRUNCH" added to it

What i have done now, is make one of those balls the default materials (with them all in the list thing), then i copyied the other balls (Drag/drop) onto the relevant materials in the defaults.

the only problem i have now is the Cromo and tire materials, they just wont copy, and, they dont appear as "balls", more of the texture the size of the box...duno what i have done there, but so far, its coming along good, just got to try and find AA in the render options..

I Have Seen The Once Rare View Of Jakg!

Manual clutch as what i love about my G25, and without a stalling function, its kinda useless imo

ive always thought the Sunset was the best light setting, as it seems to better reflect, and general overall better light setting

Ive always thought the way the drivers sit seems a bit off, more of a 90 degree angle, giving a perfect view out of the window. i know it wouldnt really matter, as i could set the view in a custom view, but its more for exterior views that it could be fixed.

well, basically, i follow all the online instructions, then it says "Drop this material into material 18...." Thats the bit i get stuck at, where/ how do i drop it into material 18?

I would like a more stock car orientated car, rather the GTR Cars we have now.

Rather a XRS (XF Stock), 4 Liter V8, 400 Horses, which imo, could be a suitable cover for a stock car

ive always assumed myself that judder with manual clutch, is a stalled engine (even though its not, its just something to cover for it).

but i think stalling is to come

im going so far so good with this. but one thing keeps bugging me (my max experiance is quite minimal), you keep saying "Drop into material 15" etc, where do i drag and drop it to? how do i assign that meterial to a certain number? lets say 15? its confusing me

Search button would tell you that S2 is still in development, and the collision system has yet to be completed.

Alpha Comes before "Beta", Go figure

yeah, its all sorted now, it seems the one i had, wasnt compatible with V7 of max, i found one for V6 that works with V7.

Thanks for your help guys

Thanks, i tried them, but the imported models are see through and appear flat shadded with no materials

Closest well get..

I Did a search, with no direct results.

Basically, i downloaded the CMX Importer for max, but theres no instructions were the files go, the plugin, obviously goes in the plugin folder, but where does the contents of the folder "Source" go to?

Even when translated, this isnt very clear...
