We've had a very well supported LX4 evening on Dead Men Racing. There's stiil 6 people on now.

Quote from JackSun :

Thanks for reply, I got it to work eventaully.
Is there any way to make it look into the skins folder of the LFS diectory by default so I dont have to copy the same file to both locations?

Reading between the lines, I see he says "sorry, we haven't done 'manners' at school yet"

Quote from Batterypark :

What is your server called then? I just want to make sure I'll never accidentally join.

What's the name of your server I'll try to make sure I do join. Great idea.

Good, I mean good, job! Well done.

It begs the question, why bother to have a code? Beats me.

Doesn't that make nicking car radios a profitable sideline again?

Beaming eh? That's the very thing that gets me places. For every driver that 'beams' I move up a slot. Beam me up Scotty

Quote from Gabkicks :

and thats what we want, lol:doh:

Aaah. I missed that bit.

Quote from Gabkicks :

i dont think you understand,
he wants it to do it for each car. like the formula cars have a lock of 450. ad the roadcars +ufr xfr have 720, and the gtrs have 540, and mrt has 180. We want to feel the ffb change for each car.

Which it does. The only thing you don't get is the FF 'stop' at the end of the various rotations.

It already does the job. Set the Wingman profiler to 720 degrees, set the rotation in LFS to 720 degrees, wheel turn compensation all the way over to the right (1) and LFS automatically gives you the rotation required for each car.
Doesn't he already have a DFP?

Quote from mrbogeyman :

Quote from vanirl :

While I havent read throught ALL the posts in this thread could it be that I am the oldest - 50 years and still going strong.


OK who beats that?

Spring chicken. You ain't nowhere near.

Quote from spankmeyer :

About 24 years have passed since I slid out my mother's womb.

Why, what's going to happen?

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.

Currently 29. My next birthday must NOT happen!! ..

Careful what you wish for.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Default settings, so springs, dampers, ride height, gearing etc not optimised for 1/4 miles times.

Fancy seeing you here

Quote from Mazz4200 :

...I keep getting told off for that on the Oval)

Stay off the oval, you'll turn into an American.

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.

You wanna rephrase that?
