Although many years ago, I can remember him being a fair and fast racer. My condolances.

Any way I can convince people it's worth it? Perhaps lower the price a little bit...?

As I haven't played LFS or any other racing game for a while (and probably will not pick up the old hobby in the future) I am selling my red Logitech Momo force wheel. I did basically all my LFS miles with this wheel, so yes, it is used extensively. There are some signs of usage on the leather grip, but no holes or anything.

A while ago I replaced all potentiometers with the ones Digikey sells. With the wheel you get one extra steering wheel potentiometer (I ordered two from Digikey back in the days, only replaced it once). I also replaced the throttle spring with a new one after it broke.

I think it is still a nice wheel that will keep working for quite some miles, you might want to have it as a spare in case your regular wheel brakes down minutes before an important race. I couldn't find the current 'market-value' of such a wheel in this condition, but if you live in the Netherlands and want to pick it up for 30 euro, it's yours. If you don't live too far away from Delft, I might consider taking a big box in the train and bringing it to your door on a weekend, but only if you are a true LFS fan

Hey guys,

I am sorry to say that in the coming year I will not be able to put in any time at all in noobTV, Masters of Endurance or anything LFS related at all.
However, since some leagues, such as the MoE was using my software, I have decided to provide the source code of noobTV so someone with some Java knowledge can convert it to the new InSim protocol again. It shouldn't be a lot of work, once you've figured out where you have to make the adjustments.

You can always post questions here, I hope I can answer most of them.

Regards,
Frank

The firewall is a bit smaller on the real car, but it is required by the rules, so there isnt much we can do about it.

XCNuse: The image is 7 pixels less wide and 100kb smaller than your picture.

This render wasnt really made for the purpose of rendering, but I thought I might share it with you anyway.

It is a render of the DUT07, the 2007 Formula Student (UK version of FSAE) car from my universities team (Delft University of Technology). It was presented to the public yesterday (if you want to compare the render to the real thing, go to the website (you will be stunned )). The render was made in CATIA v5. The complete car is modelled in CATIA, even all the bolts and wires are in there.

Nice, I see the tracker is now really working Good commentating as well, but we're used to that from Mika now

So what about the start grid positions at Blackwood, the last cars are starting under the bridge?

I can't give you a direct link, but I believe there is a tool that does this, in one or the other way. Look around on the Unofficial Add-Ons subforum.

I dont really understand what you are on about, but if I try I see a bar with some numbers frantically changing value and a few buttons to Increase load and Decrease load. I pressed the buttons a few times and then it crashed. Some value became too big (should be between 0 and 100).

What is your approach to the simulation? What are the governing equations and assumptions?

I dont think the nodal locations of the sector splits are stored anywhere, so I guess it will come down to driving slowly over the split, stopping the car and then reading out on what node you are.

Quote from detail :

On false-start, is it possible to replace force-spec with just a dq? Dissapearing cars in championships would be not a good sight.

I think people in championships will understand not to drive more then 4 meter after a jumpstart. Otherwise they are just stupid.

How 'false' should a false start be before you are forced to spectate? Driven a certain amount of meters or certain time before the green?

Quote from FOGlegsy :

I see 29 servers

Doh, had the filter on GTR...

So, just 2 servers in patch W9, nobody wants to race? I need a replay with some decent amount of cars in the new patch version.

I believe the uniqueId is never zero, but I could be wrong. Maybe you could upload the replay and I could see what noobTV makes out of it.

I don't think it is overdone. I actually think that it can be usefull for any packet that isn't sent at some predefined rate rather then when some event happens. I don't know if there would be any disadvantages of giving all new packets guarantueed delivery, but if there aren't any, I think one day someone will benefit from it.

Is guaranteed delivery on?

Looks nice How are you going to progress from here? Open source? Embedded in another program or some interface to connect to the dll from any other application? Customizable using textures or more the vector type of drawings as it is now?

Even more test patches

Vic is starting a business in Holland, of course it takes long...

24 racers, now it is 24 connections maximum (and 20 racers). So it will be increased to 24 racers and 30 connections I guess.

The mpr replay shows what was recorded, so smoothing in between packets will probably lead to all kinds of sync problems. I think the easiest way of making it less choppy is to incease the packet rate. Although smooth replays are nice, I think it would be better to have larger grid sizes.

I dont see anything mentioned about new/different functions in the camera position system (CPP packets). Reading back my initial post I might have been unclear... By custom camera's I mean the custom camera's stuck to the car, which you normally set from within Options > View > Default driver view > Custom. It might have changed but not mentioned or maybe it is something that would only be possible to change in an incompatible version.
