Good point on the angle for showcase reasons.

I designed it to "fool some of the people all of the time", not "all of the people some of the time......lol meaning I wanted the lighting to work "somewhat" from any angle

Racin Jason's setup looks real nice and danowat your wheel is as good as it gets, very jealous

Sometime I like to drag the wheel in front of this http://i6.photobucket.com/albu ... /hurts2bstock/HTLarge.jpg but until I get some sorta folding cockpit, its not as good as my desk, and 17" screen.

PS. the garage 2 is done and ready

Quote from Davo :

That's a pimpin gear knob

LOL...
1 part cat toy + 1 part dinner knife + 1 part old mouse = one very happy shifter...

The A1 site sells the Act Labs Shifter, and the Act Labs pedals are now an exact replica of the A1's there is a connection.....strange part is the cost difference between the two sites.

EDITED: noobish question

homade shifter, and driving force ps2 ...lol.....you can laugh too

Quote from Jakg :

i have a set of pedals from ACT Labs (3 pedals, think they are the Performance ones), and i woulnd't recommend them, they EAT springs (like once every 3 weeks), and once you run out of the ones it comes with its 6-8 weeks from the US

is that the set that is linked here?

Quote from geeman1 :

They just relaunched the RS pedals.

http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?Pid=947

No idea about quality, the exterior quite resemples the Advantage1 pedals, but the price about halved.

Quote from ingope :

Just ordered the Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition
The G25 is great but for my oponion to expensive.

I had the Momo Logitech wheel... well not bad but to much plastic and
build much to cheap for this price, so I selled it and bought the Thrustmaser now. A lot of metal parts and very very good quality... oh yes, and w/ a clutch

Is looks like the pedals are setup like in a real car with gas a bit back from the brake and clutch.....I like that wheel by the looks of it.....http://www.ugo.com/images/gall ... tchpedalracingwheel_3.jpg

Crazy....I just went to act labs site and never noticed they are 30 minutes from my house ....sorry to hyjack a bit here, but does anyone know if the act labs shifter is better than the g25's?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

In Soviet Russia, EVERYBODY GOLD.

Lol......Nice

^^Conan O'brian always has pictures of her on his show and he puts on the same pair of glasses....its hillariously funny.

Quote from spankmeyer :

Checked only one box and it was LX6. The sluttiest car LFS has!

LMAO +1 ....I love useing "slutty" as an adjective, for inanimate objects....lol

The cheapest wat to get a clutch is to frakenstein 2 cheep two pedal sets together. Make the fourth one on the left stationary, to make it your dead pedal.....or saw it off......aside from that you need bit of money....but again the term cheep is relative, maybee the g25 is cheap?

I like the XFR becuase I drive a 2003 civic coupe with lots of suspension work and it just feels very similar.....much faster but still the same balance and fun to drive, very forgiving etc., after that I'd say Lx6 or FXR

Kds are are usually the ones that swear all the time, on servers......they will just swear in l337, like "Scr3w y0u (ock f@ce!" ..lol

shaGuar; now I really feel bad you being flanders now....I liked there being 2 benders, because my favorite episode has 2 benders in it. The Farnsworth Parabox.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Farnsworth_Parabox



Bender A: I've got my eye on you, boy!

Bender 1: Don't even think about it, lunch-pail! You'd be dead before you hit the ground.

Bender A: Good point. Whattya say we just hit a strip joint?

Bender 1: I was waitin' for one of us to say that! [They cheer.] Bender A, you're a prince among robots. Can you forgive me for distrusting you?

[They hug.]

Bender A: Aw! I can't stay mad at what is essentially me. I love me!

[They take each other's wallets and chuckle.]

Bender 1: I'm not sad because I finally found someone as great as me. It's like I always say, "Make new friends and keep the old. One is silver--" Bender A: "And the other's gold."

Quote from Burnzoire :

I got sidetracked and made a Red Bull lx4 skin: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=298744#post298744

I'm not sure if I should release the FXO skin yet though, there are a few small things I'd like to address...

Nice work on the LX4 I have to like that one more, however, only because Pontiac is somewhat of a four letter word to me....lol

Quote from Pig :

I wouldn't agree with that. If done this way, they'll miss out on the most important part of LFS - Online gaming, away from the messed up AI.
I was a demo player - as were all of us i guess - got the crack to see if there was reason enough for me to buy the full game (I Know most will say that is wrong, but that is what i do. I try a game full and if i like it i Buy it. Hell, i've even bought games after i've finished them but that is just me). And trust me when i say this, if i hadn't had some wonderfull moments on the demo servers, cause admitedly some of them were really bad, i'd just have uninstalled the game and went on with my life.

I think the way it works now is as close to perfect as possible. And allthough people keep complaining about the certainly not perfect AI, it turns out that it is one of the best reasons to buy the game.

And that's my 0.02 €

Good point, but maybe some limit to your online career would work? Like you sign in, and after 30 minutes your ip dosn't work for a few days......kinda like a crack head, you'll find a way to pay..lol

Quote from imamura72 :

I am a demo racer, but I am not bored to use the cars of the demo, my objective is to become fast and when I will think it are it I will buy the game. To be a S2 licensed and slow being like many of you does not have sense for me.....
To win AI is easy, but tried to compete with a XRT from 247 HP against a XRT from 750 HP 4WD drived from one (crappy)AI....

Well either you only want to be competitive with the 3 slowest cars, or you have the cracked version like almost every demo player out there.

With the tweaks and addons making the demo/cracked game so grotesque nowadays, even if you do finally buy S2 you will have no idea what the game is even about..

Now I'm out $0.o4 lol

I forgot your on 240 there, If 120v powercables are said to make a electromagnetic field over a metre away, then it should prove dificult on the existing wire and 240v. As fore mentioned, I think you need to either buy, (lots of$$$) or make your own shielded power cable.

This is a wikipedia article on shielded cable that could help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable

If possible overlap the wires at 90 Degres, like + as opossed to paralell like = , I don't know if running a ground would help........or perhaps you could try to make, or find a shielded power cord.

Your getting a field of electromagnetic interference from your power cord is my best guess, only thing I can sugest is to try to isolate your speaker wire from the laptops power cord .

he's a ball O' raw ground beef...lol
