Look at the attatchment, enough said

huge difference between a gnome rotary and a wankel rotary. the only reason a Gnome Rotary is useful in planes is because you just mount the damn prop straight to the engine.

In cars you will not find a single Gnome rotary engine, (unless some crazy nutter did it for the hell of it)

To be honest... the old FXO looks kinda like it might have fit nicely into the LRF class as a homulogation model for the GTR version.

I wouldnt mind having it in there

Dual exhaust really doesnt do anything for rotary engines anyway other than make them quieter. Only having the 2 exhaust ports to vent from means one pipe is enough, and well for an engine so dependant on freeflowing intake and exhaust theres certainly no harm in dual exhausting one.

short version of a very long conversation about a project RX7 i was building.... too bad the money ran out

changing billboards, fine with me, we do this on our own occasionalyl for specific events and the like.

dynamicly updated? well, ONLY with no invasive software.

Speaking of updates... Anyone care to help with doing a texture pack of aston, for a "festival of speed" a few friends and i are going to try to run

Quote from pasibrzuch :Are there any rotary engines with more cyl. then inline 2?

you've made a serious faux pa by using the term "cylinders" in conjunction with "rotary"

they dont have cylinders at all

agreed, I think some of the teams in the Speed World GT challenge use a different type of thermometer, but the ideas the same.

Go out and punish a set of tires, take temps, adjust, repeat till tires are nice and happy

Actually takingf the temps of sections of the tire is quite easy. Just point your pyrometer at the desired part of the tyre

Quote from Greboth :Its been suggested before afaik but you would have to re rubber the track every race which would be pointless in a pick up and play 5 lap race but in leagues then it would be good. Look at masters of endurance 24 hours race has just gone and it would be a factor in that race.
+1 for me but no idea how it could be implemented.

Youve just agreed with my point. But think of it like this as well: A course rubbers not only during the race, but also during the practices and qualification sessions prior to it.

Lacking the stuff to edit the DDS myself... could someone spit out a dds of the ball for me with negative colors? I tried to edit the INI but it just gave me a black ball with yellow rim, and i want a yellow ball with white rim

nevermind, i got it

Quote from KMSpeed :damn stop spamming on this thread

I'm waiting for someone to post some new BF1 sounds and instead I'm reading posts about elder people and their PCs

It seems that you managed to f** up your LFS installation after all.

You better download a fresh new one with patch V integrated and stop worrying about updates anymore cause Scawen has an auto update feature now

a little something for the Formula Mazda fans. This is not an attempt to make a car that sounds "cool", it is an attempt by a mazda rotary fan to recreate the sound of a highly tuned rotary engine.

Quote from funnybone2 :isnt that the mrt5? illepall

The MRT5 is a Formula SAE car, not a kart. *pimpslap*

its like comparing a mule and a horse. One may remind you of the other but a mule still isnt a horse

Quote from apo3d :
i noticed that from inside a rb4 with high setup you cannot see the arrows from layout1. so i suggested layout2 for every car. how come you understood it's just for rb4 , i have no idea .

I never understood anything of the sort. However i do take offense to words put in my mouth. I tried a placement like your 'layout1" when i made my own screenshot thanks very much. I however elected to place it further out where it would be more visible, and used a curved arrow to reduce the possibility of mistaking the direction. A brain does tick inside this skull of mine.

Quote from apo3d :if it were up to me, i'd use layout1. if you select rb4 then just hit 'v' to get the wheels only view so you can see the arrows, and then while driving out of the pits hit 'v' a couple more times to get to your normal view-point. the rb4 is the only car from which you cannot see the arrows from layout 1, as it has quite a tall intake vent on the hood (or whatever it's called).



I abhor the wheels only view. And you shouldnt have to change your view for a measure like this to work, its an inconvenience. I appreciate your effort though

Man, unless the conditions were saved before every race it would be pointless. You'd have to re-rubber the track every time, or settle for a half assed "Pre-Rubbered" surface

If youre gonna use an arrow, toss it out in the middle of the lane so its easy to see from any vehicle. No use in making different layouts for each car just so you can see
KeiichiRX7

The layouts are saved separately for each configuration, so you's have to lay all your marshals or cones separately for each configuration of a course.

And the rant.... Well, it bothers me when people complain for someone else to do what they could do themselves. That doesnt mean you shouldnt get help with things you simply don't understand, but the AutoX editor was staring everyone in the face.

Would it kill anybody to use the options already available to them?

The attatched image has 3 possible solutions.

I'm sure soemthing will be done in the future, but cmon, a little pro-activeness never really hurt anybody

On a more serious note theres been a major upgrade made to the gearbox which allows for uninterupted acceleration while shifting. Thats right, the .05 second shift lag has been removed.

If it came down to the F1.07 or a 2005 spec Sauber I'd take the 2005, since it's a v10 powered f1 car and therefore fundamentally different

No Need, I've heard of both of them actually. They have my approval, jsut gotta see what the rest of the team thinks.
