I don't understand this either. I read reviews where they said: "when you change the rotation, the software will block you firmly when at the chosen rotation". But I never experienced such a thing, like you say, the feedback just drops away, instead of going firmer.

Weird thing is, on my old crappy pc it actully worked
Well ima go to bed now ill have a play around in the morning see if can figure anything out, if i do it now ill probably fall asleep on it

Just a quick post to ask: Anyone know why my dfp wont lock? lfs and profiler are set to 260 degrees but my dfp dosnt lock at the angle it just feels like the FF motor gives up? :|

Anyway going to bed in a lil tired >.<
so dont expect a post back
Cheers,
Jim.
Edit: just realised this (MIGHT?) be the wrong section maybe it should be in hardware>wheels>.

Like i said im tired :P

/me slaps myself

I plan on making skins for my team/me in this but if i dont get them all finished will plain black skins with my number on be acceptable?
Cheers,
Jim.

Edit: is the entry number the number youve given us for the race or the number in the applications section?
I feel like such a noob :P

Edit: Is this (base) skin acceptable once i get my numbers etc on? :P

Times later than 8pm i might have to struggle to attend my mum and dad are against this whole "computer thing" but ill do some purswading if we end up at a late time

Quote from J@tko :

Done . Sorry for the confusing names. I can never remember the numbers (eg SO3) so I use shorthand instead. Looks like this is the final calendar.

Thanks <3 (in a non gay way)

Dont wanna sound like a noob But can you post the full track names in so i can get some practice in?

Entry name: GRace|Jim

Cheers.

Can i join plox?

All the S2 tracks/cars are pritty new to me

Quote from Jakg :

BF2 you'd need to drop the AA down to 2xAA, maybe even turn AA off altogether.

BF2142 is more heavy on resources for no real reason tbh, and so you'll probably end up playing it on High with no AA, or Medium with some.

EDIT - I REALLY doubt you'll max Crysis. Seeing as people with Q6600's overclocked with 8800 Ultras in SLi can barely max Crysis...

0.0 at the crysis comment,
And hmm ive NEVER had AA on at all untill this pc so no biggy :P

Anyway im rather tired, off to bed now
NN

Well im currently running on 2gb of ddr2 ram nvidia 6150nforce450 512mb and 2.10xp4000+dualcore waiting for my VGA>DVI converter to come for my 8600gt.

Im currently running COD4 on lowest settings due to the card, most of my friends say ill be able to max it once my cards sorted, anyone have any clue on what my fps will be like etc?
+ would i be able to max/high these games?
BF2142
BF2
Crysis
Bioshock.

Cheers,
Jim.

+Sorry for spelling mistakes a bit off it atm.

I just got my new pc and stuck my old non windows harddrive in, should i defrag?

Well i know NOTHING about defraging at ALL so can someone teach me please?

What does it do?
How does it help?
Is it worth doing on a non windows drive?
(See screenshot) Should i do it to this drive?

Cheers,
Jim.

Im in depending on the times, just wanna pwn mista since he taught me to driftt a while ago

Ok heres a set of replays in the FBM on the "good" one my second lap is my best a 1.17 but what you need to bare in mind this in single player...with 20kg multiplayer handicap i used to run 1.16's

There "screw up" replay i screw up on my second lap, but the odd thing is if i do the EXACT same thing on a keyboard through the chikane i wouldnt screw up


Cheers,
Jim.

I woudnt mind joining if possible (T'wud depend on times etc due to family >:|) To proove im a noob: Just switched to wheel my fastest FBM BL1 lap with kb was 1.16 now its 1.18 with wheel so im not exacly fast <3

Ill sort all this out tomorow, my wheels set up pritty fine (i tihnk) Ill post my setup my wheel settings and a lap on blackwood tomorow (One pushing it, one not)

Cheers,
Jim.

I dont have much time i have like 2 minutes to type this and havent done much searching (sorry if this seems a lil ignorant) but its all in the name realy^
Cheers,
Jim.

Bump:

Everytime i restart my pc i have to reinstall all the drivers and replug in a few times sometimes all of this up ro 4 times :| any ideas or does belkin just suck?

Quote from JeffR :

Were you doing these runs in "casual" mode where the game assists do exactly what you describe? I'm playing nfsps on a PC in "king mode", and often found the car going off track or spinning out while trying to drift, until I learned the track, and the speeds that corners needed to be taken at. Still, there are some issues with the drift physics, mostly that straight line acceleration is very limited. I'm not a fan of drifting, I consider it to be the ice dancing of motor sports, but I did make some videos:

npdrift.wmv

npdtaarx7.wmv

For non-drift modes, the "assists" are never actually off during offline play, in spite of the menu settings. They do get turned off during the higher difficulty online events.

In my opinion, there are 3 main differences between NFS's physics and racing simulation type physics: power induced oversteer is limited or prevented; driver induced understeer is non-existant; performance is exaggerated. In spite of these differences, the NFS games can be fun, and getting top lap times is challenging. First person shooters or Tombraider type games aren't realistic, but they're enjoyable also.

Mines in king mode just so you know...

Im sorry but they said they revamped the physics on Nfsps but i the drifting physics are the biggest joke ive EVER seen in my life, Ok they seem terrible in the first place but i learnt a new thing about them by trying to go backwards, When you try and drift around a course backwards the car wont actully slide, which seems to my that when you drift forwards the physics engine actully hold you on the line wether you want to be on it or not? it just pulls you along it? anyone else think this?

Tbh im not that much of a fan of NFS but i thought this would connect to the storyline of the over few, but i dont think it has -.- eeesh

It fell asleep. I voted for everything. First you run and scream, then you think, but why would there be anything in it? Then you realize you're an idiot.

I just HAVE to sig that rofl

Please burn it out and give us pictures

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Did you just simply reset your router? Whenever my pc can't connect, it's because someone with a laptop got on it, and my computer got kicked out of the router settings. When you reset the router you can have a fresh set of computers linked to it.

I dont have a clue what was wrong with it but litteraly 2 minutes after typing this i went and played with the settings and install files a lil more and fixed it
Cheers for your help anyway,

Jim.
