Still waiting microsoft to respond to the bug report and to fix it.
You are using a beta (not finished/released/incomplete/buggy (well more than a normal windows os)) operating system, which itshelf has a bug. You're barking at the wrong tree.
Think for a bit what you have done, posting a thread called "NEW! Grand Prix Track announced!" to General LFS section of the forum....... :irked: :gnasher: :slap: :chairs:
Most likely your dorm has a similar set up as my school had, all outbound traffic allowed except traffic to port 80 (www) had to go through a proxy to allow easy webusage monitoring and to deter security aware people doing rogue installs of Firefox etc.
Check your IP here: http://whatismyip.com/
If it's different than you get from clicking start->run->cmd->ipconfig then there's a proxy between you and LFSWorld and you're SOL as LFS doesn't know proxy and LFSW only works on port 80 afaik and you can't change that.

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Edit: scratch that, Radeon is a spare part, and a Matrox Parhelia is the one in use apparently Or I just got it wrong again, what do I know

We don't know exactly what is on their list of noted but wontfix/wontdo and we'llsee/todo list. Besides, I don't think browsing improvement suggestions forum is one of Scawen's daily chores, so he might very well not notice a suggestion (I think so anyway, because most of the recent features have been posted in the improvement suggestion forum long time ago, but have been talked about in the recent patch release threads).
Spamming the patch release threads is off bounds but posting in the improvement suggestions forum is fine by me, if it's not listed in the already suggested log. And free roam already is there, but no city, which I take it includes traffic. So I'm not sure to or not to at lmao2times.
Edit: I guess you're all missing the bit that they are slightly rounded square pipes. (Since the exhausts on Cupra Ibiza, Golf mk2 and M3 are round....)
164, quite easy once you get the hang of it. Better yet, find the sweet spot where it stays on its own, found it once but moved the mouse teeny bit and lost it
It's due to the steering wheel getting its forcefeedback directly from the car wheels (forces acting on the steering column, actually) and between them is all these wires, USB jacks, Windows XP, wheel software & hardware drivers, force feedback motor, play in the force feedback motor's cogs, the fact that your wheel only turns bit more than a half turn compared to 2.5 turns of a real steering wheel etc adding lag/delay to the force feedback information. Not like in real life where the steering wheel is directly connected wheels, and the feedback to the steering wheel is instantaneous.
Essentially, when the force feedback effects reaches to your hands, it is slightly wrong. Driving straight creates continuos small effects to right and left, and if you don't limit the wheel turning by keeping it straight all the slightly wrong effect oscillate to not so slightly wrong effects eventually causing you to spin or veer off track.
You can somewhat lessen the oscillating effect abit by lowering your force feedback strength and caster in the car setup (other car setup parametres affect also but caster has the biggest effect IIRC), adding dead zone to the wheel center help too. Or alternatively getting a multiturn wheel such as Driving Force Pro or Logitech G25 coming this fall.
I kinda like joen's example, but I don't think the setup tips are necessary.
It, although, like everybody else's example screen, doesn't cater for the future when you might have 50 or even 514 (current GPL track count) tracks installed. (Either by tools/ways sanctioned/released by the devs or by enterprising hackers. One can hope, can't one? )
