It looks like you don't understand what I was trying to say. So, if you don't press the throttle there is no petrol to burn. For the burning sequence the engine needs air. If air intake restriction is set, on off power the cylinders are still empty, so the air intake restriciton should not effect the engine brake, because the engine don't need any air. Now if resticiton is set, the engine brake is reduced by the ammount of the air intake restriction.

Qoute Wikipedia.org - Engine braking

When a driver downshifts to spin the engine at high angular velocity (or RPM) without pressing on the accelerator pedal, the engine converts energy from the vehicle's speed, which is kinetic energy, into a temperature increase in the fuel-air mixture. These hot gases are exhausted from the vehicle and heat is transferred from engine components to the air.

It's not really clear to me, but it looks like, the engine do not need any air whilst engine braking. But, in LFS it needs. ???

Hi,
it looks a bit starnge to me, that if I set air intake restricion for an ammount, the engine brake is reduced with that ammount. If I remember the engine brake depends on the length of the connecting-rod, because if I use the engine brake there are no fuel in the cylinders, so the intake restriction is not affecting the engine brake. It looks like, now the engine brake is calculated from the horsepower and the torque. So, if I set a 40% restriction for a car, the connecting-rod's length is not changed, so it shouldn't change the power of the engine brake by 40%. Actually it should stay at full power.

Thanks, I've ordered it.

Hi,
I plan to buy a Driving Force Pro wheel, but I am not sure, it is working with my PC. I can only read about PS2/PS3 compatibility. Is it for PC?
Thanks,

I've built my own H shifter about 5 months ago, but it has been broken after 5-6 weeks.
I used my early racing wheel (it was a Geinus crap) for the electronics, so i didn't need to plan the electronic stuff. I used only the electronic board, the micro-switches, and the USB wire, and it worked. (Of course I had to build a body, made out of wood. The gearstick was a bared Genius joystick, and I bought the gearknob at tesco for 2 euros... The whole thing was only 5-6 euros + 4 weeks of building.)
But, after 5-6 weeks of intensive LFS driving the micro-switches broke one after the other and now only the 1st, 2nd, the 5th and the 6th gear is working.
I saw some video on youtube about handmade H shifters, and they are all using Microsoft Sidewinder USB for the electronics... Maybe it can last for more time...
Time and patient is needed, if you want to do this!!!

What's the point of the YouTube screenshot? It's quite obvious that a page designed to work with CSS doesn't work without CSS.

My firefox was not able to download the stylsheet css, because every time if it's get to download my connection was timed out. So today every time I've opened the Youtube I saw this...

Youtube without stylesheet...
