Quote from Seahorse :Buggers up button asgnments, particularly it makes it a twat to set things up the way I want. I simply got fed up with it after the first year of use. I've had my wheel 5 years...

Ahah! That'll be an early version then. 4.60 is not the same evil monster. Also it seems to me that Momo owners were the most affected. Wheel not centreing properly. Well that was fixed in a patch. Hey! What am I defending Logitech for? They're big enough to look after themselves. I state again though, if you've got a DFP you'd be crazy not to use profiler.

Quote from Seahorse :I don't use profiler at all. It fubars most games for me. As windows happily detects the wheel in the first place and then set up in game works...

I confess to being a Profiler fan. One of the main reasons, apart from the button thing, is that it actually provides a 'force feedback' stop to the rotations. While the DFP has a rotation of 900 degrees you don'y really need that much, not in LFS anyway. If you set the rotation to 720 degrees you get a 'stop' at that setting or any rotation you like.
How does it 'fubar' games? I am interested to know.

Quote from Mazz4200 :

.......profiler interferring with forcefeedback

No it doesn't. In fact if you want to use the full range of the DFP it's a necessity.

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Maybe it's just me being unable to follow instructions !


That's probably it. Assign functions to keystrokes. i.e. if you want a wheel button to, for instance, act as turn signal, assign the button to 8,9 or 0. I will admit, the Wingman Profiler isn't the most instinctive piece of software to use but when you've cracked it it's pretty good.


IMO

EDIT: PM me if you have trouble. Get teamspeak too, it'll help

Quote from Michael Miskella :

.......best way ive seen a server setup was with reversed grid positions, that way the people that know what they are doing are behind and alot less likely to plow into everyone and gives a bit more adventure for the faster drivers. dont recall one restart on that server, shame ive only seen one server use it.

That'll be Dead Men Racing then.

So the answer is to get someone else to bother for them eh?

Quote from Dappa :So....your banned for life for not being a good racer? ok its my fault i dont have a wheel, i should ****ing buy one, and i will.

but banning me just because i crashed is fuking pathetic. the community in this game is the same as any game where skill and power corrupts. looking down at me cause im a bad racer? well u can all piss off.

wat a nice way to invest 24 quid, cant even race on the servers cause i havent bought a pissing racing wheel, im discusted.

How did it become your FAVOURITE server?
Anyway, get your wheel, practice offline, and come back and kick there asses.
Oh, and stop being petulant.

Quote from Astro [ BJRL ] :58 ... anyone older ?

Yep, 64. You know they had a similar thread in the rFactor forum and the average age was 38ish. I reckon it's a lot younger for LFS.
Mmm.

Quote from Infiniti :wow lol I have high speed cable and that picture is at crawling pace! at this rate Ill be back in 5 min see if Im halfway haha...

Alright loaded if anybody else has trouble dont worry Im gonna attach it.
I thought it was good work I love the smoke whisping around the tire as its spinning, very real but, isnt drifting kinda classified as controled sliding through turns? if so sure looks like your on the backstraight with your nose pointing the direction your traveling. I suggest taking a shot of driting on a sharper bend in the middle of the apex it would look real nice.

I thought it was just me! 10mb? pfft!
Good job.

Education, education, education. (that's amusing if you're English)
Seriously, disable restarts for the first 180 seconds. The more rash drivers soon get the idea that it doesn't pay to be too lead footed in the first turns.
Then again, this has been raked over sooo many times and nothing changes.

Quote from Rebeldevil :DO NOT SPEED THROUGH THE PITS.

Another tip.

DO NOT SPEED THROUGH THE PITS.

.... That's about 50 MPH if you're using US measurements.

Or 49 mph if you're British. If you do 50mph you WILL cop a penalty

Quote from Rebeldevil :cars in the game won't exceed 50 MPH in 1st gear (with standard settings) so drop it into first and you should be OK.

You'd best not rely on that because you WILL be caught out. Use your speedometer.

In my case, unless it's basic set like race_1, setup makes very little difference. I was once on a server with XFGs and lumbered around on race_1 well off the pace. Sinbad then kindly gave me his set. What a difference! It took 2-3 seconds off straight away. Trouble is I was still 2 seconds a lap off the leaders pace.
I can make EVERY turn perfectly. Unfortunately I can't do it on the same bloody lap! Mostly it's a mind game and the older you get, the less mind you have to play with.

Quote from JamesF1 :Or better yet: "You have wrecked someone's car, you are dead. Your LFS Account has been permanently suspended. You will have to fork out £24, all over again, AND pay compensation of £40,000 before you can race again."

Seems fair.
