Thank you for your help, unfortunately it didn't work for me. I don't know if it matters, but in the settings it doesn't say "G25 Wheel" but "wheel/joystick" - maybe LFS doesn't fully recognize my wheel?

In your image it shows as G25 Wheel, the writing to the right of Wheel/Joystick.

Try uninstalling the Logitech software, restart PC.
Then make sure wheel is unplugged and reinstall the latest logitech software with any anti virus software disabled.
Only plug in the wheel when the Install program requests it.
Then see how you get on.

Had the same problem myself recently see this thread

https://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=85954

I solved it by going into the LFS controllers option screen, up at the top where it shows the controller as G25 wheel, change it to Keyboard.
Then change any one of the key mappings.
Then go to the track with keyboard set as controller.
Now go back to the controller options screen and reselect G25 Wheel as the controller, then to the Axes/FF screen and recalibrate the wheel, set FFB on and set any axis/key mappings you want.

See if that sorts it out, did for me.

Thanks for reply, I fixed it now. Was my Qualcomm Atheros Killer network software blocking some ports. updated to latest version, works ok now.

I can't see any servers listed. It counts up the number of servers available ok but none are shown. I have made sure the filters are set to show all, public, private and empty but nothing showing, any ideas?

Got it working ok now. Had to switch to keyboard control then switch back to wheel and then recalibrate and it sddenly works ok

It makes no difference what value I set for the force feedback strength.

I have played LFS for at least 10 years and I used to have some effects from collisions and kerbs before, now I get nothing.

I can't get the G25 to give me any force feedback effects in the game.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Logitech drivers and reinstalled the 0.6F version of LFS.
The force feedback is working in other games so there doesn't appear to be any issue with the wheel.

One weird thing is that initially in the LFS axes/calibration screen I get some force feedback jolts from the wheel then it goes off completely. If I switch the force feedback option in LFS to NO it comes back, but the only effect I get is some resistance to turning the wheel. I get no effect from touching the kerbs or collisions etc...

If I press shift + C to reset the controller in game it makes no difference.

Anyone any ideas how I can get my force feedback effects back or is there some problem with the 0.6F version of LFS?

As far as I know the problem is mainly to do with Collision detection.

Many of the mods alter the dimensions of the cars and can cause hit detection problems.

It can ruin the races for others as they can appear to be nowhere near to you and they go flying off the track due to an apparent collision.

Just a thought, if you are running Airio on the servers you are testing this on.

If you type !pl after you have been on track for a minute or so it gives you a value for packet loss in % for each player on track.

I have no idea how accurate this is but whenever I see a very glitchy player they usually have 0.5% Pacekt loss or more, as displayed by the !pl command.

As the man says on many servers there are just an abundance of childish idiots who think crashing is fun.

But when joining a server make sure you don't join in front of any racers, respect the Blue flags, you are not in the race if you weren't on the grid at the start so make sure you let any racers pass you safely.

Try Redline Racing Demo servers if you want good clean racing. We don't allow people to join mid race and if we get any deliberate crashers they are removed fairly quickly.

I'm on most evenings as Redline Quinn (usually after 18:00 UK Time)
Just be sure to read & abide by the rules shown when you join.
You'll also find many people there who can help you with racing/improving times etc...

All the Redline Racing servers went offline and then reset at about that time too.

All Redline Racing servers 1 to 8 are down. Website is ok.

Scawen

I have the server logs and airio logs of one of these hackers connecting to Redline Racing server 1.

I have already sent them to Victor but I can post them to you as well if they are of any help?

Does anyone know if this guy has got an S2 licence or is able to join an S2 server?

Depends on which car you are driving XFG or XRG?

Franky thanks for info on Redline servers.

The problem is I haven't got the contact details of the server owner without the Redline forums.
I think she is banned from these forums so won't know about them needing to be reconfigured unless you can let her know?

All 8 Redline Racing servers are down along with website, any clues as to when we might see them back online?

Wow really. Make a comment about RFactor 2 having better physics and all of a sudden a have two 10

yearolds, Quinn And King.

Well all I can say is I'm sorry you had a bad time at the Redline servers.
I think most of the drivers there would agree that we are usually a very friendly team and welcome newcomers.

But I'm not sure why you have got quite so mad after your recent visit.

You joined the server and asked the Question "is LFS still worth buying?"

I was driving at the time in a race, but I did take the time to say "Yes!". Not a very long reply, I agree, but I was driving so I don't tend to type more than one word.

The next race start I joined spectate and as I usually do with newcomers to the server I watched you for a while. I usually do that just in case someone is cheating or driving unsafely. You seemed to be driving OK but with what looked like a default XFG set.

I spent a bit of time sending you a better set, and in case you didn't know how to receive it I also wrote the instructions for receiving and saving the set.
As most regular drivers there will tell you, I spend a fair amount of my time helping newcomers with sets and getting them up to speed if they need/want the help.

A while after that you asked if the full version of LFS allowed you to modify the car, I replied "well, you can change the skin" and I think then someone else mentioned you could adjust the settings in the Garage, which of course you can also do in demo. A perfectly straighforward and polite answer to a simple question.

You then went on asking again about wanting to change all the good stuff like exhaust, engine suspension etc.... and someone else made the comment about NFS, it wasn't me or any Redline member just someone making a comment that if you want that sort of ability you could do it with NFS. You replied with something like "NFS Lol that sux"

I made the comment about LFS being a Racing sim and not some arcade game for kiddies wanting to change all sorts of options that do not make for good racing. I used that terminology based on the previous reference to NFS which I do consider to be a kiddies arcade game in comparison to LFS. I was not suggesting you were immature, so I am sorry if that was the impression you got.

You then asked again about did we know any games that allow you to do what you want. I said something along the lines of "as far as I'm concerned LFS is about as good as it get for sim racing", which is just my opinion.

I have tried iRacing, rFactor 2, Netkar pro etc... and whilst they have all got their merits, I still find LFS to be the best online racing experience.

You then started talking about how good you thought Rfactor 2 was and a few Redline members made some comments about not liking it so much. I also said I have Rfactor 2 and I'm not that impressed with it.

Again, just our opinions, nothing nasty. But you then went on to say that we must be crap drivers if we don't like rFatctor 2. You then continued arguing about how good RF2 was and how crap we must be if we don't like it etc...

I did send you a Private message via the Airio pm command asking you to stop arguing/commenting on RF2 & Redline members etc.. as it was getting distracting for the other drivers. It's possible you may not have noticed that amongst all the other chatter, but at the start of the next race you were still talking about RF2.

As it seems you are such a fan of RF2 I said "well why not go there then", not an unreasonable suggestion as you seemed so keen on it, and it would stop the distracting discussion. To which you replied "no need to be a dick". You continued to make comments about how crap Redline drivers must be so I kicked you from the server.

You had already been asked to stop and now you were starting to get abusive.
If you'd bothered to read the server rules you would have known that it states "Do not argue or use foul or insulting language !"
I only kicked you (not banned) hoping that if you returned you would realise that we were getting a bit annoyed with your behaviour. You continued to make comments on your return so I gave you a short ban.

You are welcome to return to the Redline servers when your ban is over and I'm sure there will still be many people there willing to help you if you need any advice on setups and racing.

You might then see how good LFS racing can be, as even on our Demo servers we get some of the best LFS racers visiting on a regular basis with some very close and clean racing.

About licensed server I would like to see single class racing servers.

On other side I would reallly like to see demo crash free server. A while ago I posted on AA forum my idea
I will just copy paste post:

Quote :

I agree IP bans are pointless. What I think it would be more effective is to put experience limit on each server. Every noob who done 1:40 lap on GTI and have atleast 5 laps around track will have higher than 10 EI. So why not to make something like 10 EI limit on Demo GTI, and about 50 EI limit on Blackwood GTI. That will prevent people who do new account every 5 minutes, because in order they connect to server they will need to have some stats. Most of international crashers I saw have <10 laps. I aint so sure you will do this, but atleast do some test server that will show how this thing works. You have nothing to lose and it will be haven for racers

Most of members/players aggred to this idea, but admins are worried about potentialy lossing new players. I would like to see server like this on demo, but its hard to populate server. It would be easiest if some well known team will experiment with this config in Airio.

Redline Racing Demo server 1 is running something along these lines.

We have server set with no mid race join which filters out a fair number of those joining with no intention of clean/serious racing. If they do stay they can only drive XRG if they have 100 points in the Airio experience index. And you can only use keyboard controller if your PB time is within 103% of the WR time.

We also have a fair number of players with Marshal status that gives them the ability to police the servers via spectate, kick or ban penalities. There are also usually a few a admins around from about 16:00 to 23:00 UK tme.

Whilst we can't claim it to be crasher/idiot free it is about as close as you can get on public demo servers.

You can also usually raise and admin from the redline racing website at http://www.team-redline.co.uk/forum/index.php.
Leave a message there and someone will usually respond. Or you can post a replay of any crashers and we will deal with them as required.

Sounds like you have the wheel and brake set to the same axis.

Go into the controls section of LFS and make sure throttle/brake axis is set to seperate.
Then go into the AXIS/FF section and set your pedals and wheels to the relevant axes. Calibrate and that should be all you need.

Hi

Our Redline Racing server admin is trying to access the Cpanel and is getting this message.

Quote :

Thank You for installing cPanel / WHM.
This server is currently not licensed. Please contact the server administrator. Other services available on this server such as web services are likely functioning normally. (Cannot read license file)

Can some take a look at this please. Thanks.

Our Redline Racing servers use 500servers for hosting and we have Airio running on them ok, so yes it is possible.
I don't do the admin on that though so I can't tell you what's required to set it up.

Interesting that I can use it ok on my system though. I may not be trying to adjust the same thing as you, but as I said it works without any problems for removing dodgy areas on my pedal pots.

The only time I had any trouble with it was when I had another controller plugged in at the same time as my G25 wheel, but just removing the other controller allowed it to work ok.

No I just run the file in administrator mode. Right click on the .exe file and choose run as administrator.
Might also be worth playing with the compatability mode options by right clicking the .exe, choosing properties and set compatability for say Windows XP, see if that helps.

I'm not sure about the deadzone registry problems but it certainly doesn't crash during use or on exit. I have not had to edit any files to get it to work.

I have sucessfully used it to tweak out my spiking throttle pot problems.

I am using the one I downloaded from here.

http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm

Works fine on my Windows 7 - 64 Bit system.

Make sure you are downloading the correct one for your version of Windows 7, (32 or 64 Bit).
