Do they also spike?

You might want to see if they're near a power-source like a power socket or a transformer for something.

If you fully depress them with your hands, do they feel strange at the end?

Tried to use USB to connect them instead of PS/2 or vice versa?

Yes the throttle spikes.

Pedals are about 1 meter from a power socket. Moving them further away doesn't seem to help. But what does this have to do with it?

Doesn't feel strange when pressing with my hands, it's nice and fluent (not sure what you mean with 'strange' though)

I tried both types of connections, both the same.

Hi,

I treated myself with a Fanatec Porsche GT3RS wheel with Clubsport pedals. Just after 2 weeks or so I noticed the throttle bar wasn't going up 100%. Tried to play a bit with the screws behind the pedals but didn't really work. Finally I switched the throttle bar within the spring with the clutch bar. That solved it.

Now, again a few weeks later, the same thing occured. Both the clutch and the throttle bars are not fully going up while being pressed 100% (pic). When I turn the wheel off and on again everything is ok, but after pressing/depressing the pedals a couple of times it is getting worse again.

Does anyone have an idea about how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Luckywill,

Since you posted this in the beginners thread I'm gonna promote our beginners league

We run the 'Absolute Beginners' league, check this site: www.absolute-beginners.net. Maybe this is something for you? We have real beginners but some more experienced racers as well. We use a class system so every driver can fight for top spots in his own class.

At the moment we are running 2 leagues, the S2L league and the Open Configurations league (1 race per week). In order to drive a full season (and the full experience!) you will need a S2 license. With a S1 license you maybe can drive a track/car combination we are running now and then, but most combo's are S2 material. So with just a S1 license you probably have to wait weeks till a combo for you comes by.

Our races are at Sunday evenings (European time) so next race is tomorrow already. So I can only advise you to check out the site and feel free to ask anything

Hi Chris, we don't really start a new season in 2012. We just continue the current seasons (S2 League and Open configurations league). The next race is today, check this site for more info.

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

Wow. A sure winner at the 'Movie of the year' contest at the year end awards in my opinion

Looks like you are making a habit of spelling 'discussion' wrong

Quote from TypeRacing :

Dunno about top speed. But they can't be faster on straights too, it's still 2liter engine and there have been ten years of engine development...

Isn't it 1600 cc turbocharged engines from this year on?

Session of Incident (Race)
Lap AND Timecode of Incident (formation lap, 5:05)

Thanks, that worked I reinstalled Fraps a couple of days ago so wasn't back at the previous settings yet.

Now continue the discussion about your vid, sorry for the off topic

Nice camerawork indeed!

Little question: in shift+u mode with Z30 I can't get rid of the mouse pointer when holding the right mouse button and moving the camera. I tried shift+z but doesn't seem to work in camera mode. Any tips?

Aaaaargh!! Help me guys, i have a bad problem when i extract LFS_PATCH_Z28_TO_Z30 and i got always times the "this archive is not supported". Here is a picture:

I had the same problem, also the alternative zip gave me this message. I tried a fresh LFS download in a different folder and that worked.

I only posted the first one of the next links on this forum before, the other two are now shown to a large public for the first time

Quote from Jens O. :

any chance you can upload the actual video file to some server / file hoster?

Just for you

And thanks for the comments guys!

Hello!

I made a video about the 2010 season of the Absolute Beginners racing league. I would like to see some constructive criticism so I can improve in the future!

YouTube

P.s. I know the intro is a bit messed up with the squares.

2009 Japanese GP. Toyota driver Timo Glock was seriously injured after a crash in qualifying. Toyota started the weekend with 2 drivers though

Yes Bert, we can see the message:

"Due to some changes with the host of our site, we are offline for maintenance. winDOS, our hostadmin is looking at it. We hope to be back online as soon as possible. For the moment, you can always visit our section at the LFS-forum HERE.

All racing will continue as normal"

Nice initiative Rocklan! Great opportunity for the wannabe S2-demoers.

I think you should introduce a limit though. Till when can they upload their times? I don't read anything about that

3 hour Le Mans races? That will be challenging Will it be allowed to drive a car with 2 drivers then?

When you signed up on the site you can join any open race you want, including the FZ5 Cup. If you want you can apply to drive in the closed league when you participated in 3 open races.

In January we are starting with a new series, the FZ5 Cup. Here is a little promotional video:

More info about this series here.

I'm not sure if this video is the best promotial material for AB

Maybe this is what you are looking for? I quote from the site:

"At Absolute-beginners we have overall standings for every league, but to make it even more interesting, we also race in level-classes. You can become a champion in one of these level-classes:

/1 If you consider yourself a fast driver, you can drive in this class.
/2 If you consider yourself a moderate driver, you can drive in this class.
/3 If you consider yourself a slow driver, you can drive in this class."
