Quote from CSU1 :

LOL, this reminds me of last night I was out with my brothers car(He's learning to drive) and a nice lady let him out at a junction. When we got in front of the ladys car my bro tapped the brakes sharply "wtf you do that for?" I said "Erm I was saying thank you!" he said. I think he may have got a little mixed up with the whole 'flashing' of the lights to say thanks
some people rofl!

HAHAHAHA!
Now that's "naive"

You Polish guys are pretty hardcore eh!?
You're running something like 6300KM per month, kamo.
But those are your figures for the last 33 months!!

I'm running around 6200KM per month.
But in the last 4 months (i only have LFS there's 7) i haven't participated on any league so i played a lot less than i would've if within a league...

Now you steve, you've got around 194km a month...
And that's on 18 months.
Hardly addicted

Man, i hope i "dont" find a league so soon or else i"ll be running 10000km a month.

Now THAT'S sad.
And i think i'm pretty much on the top of the addicted guys here with these kind of numbers.

(Barring the oval nutters on bf1, of course :tilt

Dunno where i could've posted it...
If that's not the "best" place for it, please delete it.

Here it goes:
Is it possible to allow a higher "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" on this forum?

30, which is the current max, is really low. Specially nowadays when everybody has broadband and whatnot.
It's so much better to be able to see a lot more of the conversation without having to go to the next page and sometimes back to reread something...


Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the tolerance, Sam!
You can move it now as you wish.

In that case, does anybody want to buy my G25 pedals? I don't need them. (got a home made set with a load cell brake pedal)

I surely would.
But i'm from Brazil so things could get messy.
If you've got a price, PM me anyway, ok?

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Well, to be fair I have heard of this happening once before but it was awhile ago. I was racing against someone on SO4 (cannot remember who TBH) and their car suddenly died and he had no idea why. There was a breif discussion about it (there was only 4-5 of us in the server IIRC) and that was it. I'd never heard of that again until now . I passed him as he was coasting to a stop, and me and the other fellow who was competitive asked what the problem was and all he said was "It just died." He also had plenty of gas etc. If my brain was on I would've saved the replay but back then I didn't really care much.

Don't listen to this man when he's talking about "unknown issues/features".
He has no credibility!

(just j/k :razz

Thanks Sam.
I"ll wait for Jakg then.
It's not like he doesn't post that often or whatnot, right?

Can it be done?
Those are "by default" compatible? Or not?

I would like to know.

Thanks.


ps: sorry about posting it here too.
I've posted the same topic on the right are but had a lot of views and not many answers (1), maybe here i"ll get some help?
If you mod could let it linger for a few hours, i appreciate that.
Maybe i can find someone here who has a G25 AND a Momo and could answer that for me, thanks.

Quote from dontsimon :

I think possibly not, as the pin outs are probably different. Perhaps worth a try though.

Have you got hold of some pedals seperately? Simply buy one of LBodnar's USB units, then the G25 pedals will wire to those. Hey presto . . .

Where could i get a hold of one of those?
I'm afraid i'm from Brazil... :/

As for testing, i've got a Momo, he's got a spare G25 pedal set, no way to test as of now, but we"ll see.

I guess i"ll post this on the main forum.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Shifter is back up for sale then. Its all packaged up ready to go, I've got some pictures too. Take a look, if your interested make me an offer.

Oh man if only it wouldn't be so damn expensive to ship it to Brazil!!
And we would have to declare it at 50 US$ max (shiping included) or else i would get a pretty cool 88% importing tax.

But prolly it wouldn't fly.
Customs here would say it cost 200US$ or so and i would be hosed, heh. :/

Well, if you can use the Logitech Profiler with your DFP, sure you can!
Assign a keyboard key to yout "push to talk key" on teamspeak, on the teamspeak program.

Then open the profiler, create a profile for LFS (or would you need a profile for the Teamspeak? dunno, try both) and then assign that same key to one of your wheel keys.

It should work...

Cheers.

ps: am i'm pretty sure that there's probably a better way of doing it but yeah, it can be done, they will inform you of how that is done, rest assured.

Thanks.

Well, it's sad he didn't wanted to cooperate.
Looks like he doesn't care that much about the simulator, eh?

Since that's that case (backed by his actions), you guys are pretty light on the "punishment".

If he doesn't like the simulator, well, why would he need a license to play it, right?
Just to make a mess?

That's unfortunate. People acting like that.

Quote from Darkkness :

Or one of you could just become my personal Mechanic

If you get one really good for you, please share him with me.

Bah, i'm really fed up with this.
I bought a momo some 5 months ago and been using it very carefully (i take real good care of my gear) since then.

~ 2 months ago (so, only barely 3 months after starting using my brand new wheel) my pedals showed the usual momo issue and i've dealt with it using dxtweak, lost some of the pedal travel but it at least worked now.

Got a spare from logitech anyway when i contacted then about my pedal issues.

It got here ~ 1 month ago (I'm from Brazil, it gets here from the USA, on a mule it seems ). I let it on it's box, didn't even open it.

Now three days ago i started having problems with my wheel (which should last a pretty good ammount of time since it's "optical", doesn't it?) > http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19544

Tried solving it but to no avail.

I'm starting at the LOTA F08 series, really love that car.
The first race is 20 hours from now.

So i figured, heck, i"ll use my spare wheel and everything will be fine.

But, to my surprise my goddamn brand new wheel which came directly from logitech just shat itself on the very first seconds.

I don't know, maybe the FFB is broken or something, but the wheel barely turns (as if there was something inside it holding it or something) and the FFB effects ain't working.

So... now i've got no wheel to race with.
And not only LOTA is coming (where i was with some good times) but my national league (pretty fun and tight races with friends - and i justed got into a team too) is starting in two weeks too and i was looking forward to that.

Not to mention a Brazil vs Portugal competition that we're having and ends on this 25th with a combo that i really like and am this close (less than .04) of breaking the WR.

Now after the holidays comes the time to race some organized races and i thought i was golden, with my wheel working ok and a spare ready to rock...

But as of now i ain't got nothing to race with.
Damn.

That's pretty cool, huh?
Just wanted to rant a little. I'm sorry.
It's hard to be addicted to this.

:/

ps: and you might say, well, "just bloody buy another wheel then mate", but trust me, it is *REALLY* rare to come across a Momo or a DFP here on my country and i really mean *RARE*, so even having the money here we don't have where to get it. literally there's none for sale.Ii gotta wait on logitech now and there goes those championships.

ps2: on the bright side i've got a lot to catch up. a pile of good books, yay i guess hehe

Quote from Jakg :

centering spring, you want it enabled, but set to 0%, and you want 101% force in the driver - everything else is just opinion

Oh yeah?
Enable it and let it at 0%?

Why is that different of not enabling it then?

Quote from Tweaker :

Sell it on Ebay, you'll get some hits there.

Sold some sim hardware on there, and posting on RSC, BHM, and LFS forum would help interest (need pics of course)

Been thinking about selling my Red MOMO, but I am keeping it incase a friend wants to use it.

If you ever get interested on selling it, send me a PM

Quote from Tweaker :

Hmmm which one did you try?

The MOMO Centering Utility always worked fine for me in Windows XP and my MOMO wheels.

MOMORacingFixCenter works.
But it made my wheel crazy when enabled so.. i couldn't use it.

The other centering software from wingman team doesn't work but i'm almost sure that it's because it only works with 4.40 and lower drivers.

th84, that's EXACTLY my problem.
But, sometimes it happens cause of a bump, sometimes it's just out of the blue, really.

I raced today about 4 hours and had the problem one time, after almost 3 hours and then not again.

About not using the profiler, i could do that, i'm not that worried about the binds, it's the "other stuff" that i'm worried about. Does anybody know something about what i'm talking about? I'm talking about the other settings.

I want to know what happens if i dont open up the profiler, if those settings stored there are used cause that was the last thing my wheel knew or what.

And... is the profiler harmful, can it be? (as mrodgers showed us) Or is it rare to behave like that/cause that kind of problem?

Hello, folks.
Here comes the newb again

I'm racing on a 32 laps WE Int REV with the FO8 in less than 48 hours...
Here's the catch:
The problem is, my set really doesn't last that much.
And yeah yeah, i know i should take it easier (And i do, honest!) but this set which is pretty good for qualy isn't nearly as good for a "race".

So... i would like to know what settings could/should i change?
Can you guys tell me some "general" hints about that kind of setup too?
The kind which needs to last more than 10min.

As for the driving part:

* Really avoid locking up the wheels,
* Do not make any dorift0 manoeuvres to impress the ladies and all that jazz.
* Even make some agressive turns a little slower to avoid heating up so much the poor tyres.

All right. I hear you, i do.

But now, how about the setup?
What should a poor lad change in order to still be not so slow and have some rubber on the end of the race?

I know it's track dependent but can a FO8 with R2s last some 50min of "agressive" driving (say some second or so from any given WR)?
I know a FOX with R1s can last about that much on most tracks, on that pace.
But i don't know that about the FO8. Can it?

Apart from changing to a harder compound (R3s in this case) and tweaking the camber... what else could i do?

Let's get specific here please.
Even with the camber. I should get it negative (no, it isn't positive by now ) and try to let it as close to 0, or what?

If i do all that i can (which you guys will me instruct here about what that is) and still the car won't last and i change to harder compounds, then how should i set it up? Cause, it gets a lot different, right?

Tell me which values should i change and "how much" (say, cut/add that setting to half or 10 or 30% of your qualy set value and see what you can do with it, that kind of "how much"), i"ll fiddle with those, no problems. I just need to know where to start changing things.

And yeah i know you guys would want this specific set so you could give me some specific (since i got you guys the specific ammount of time i want it to last) suggestions but there's no need for that.

As i said, i would like this thread to be filled with "hints" about making a set LASTING LONGER and not necessarily just BE FASTER at any cost.

That's it.
I hope i made myself clear, i'm kind sleepy and my english sucks.

Here, a carebear to cheer you up, man.


I don't even know what the heck.

ps: psssst, i know a 32 lap race isn't an endurance race, by a long shot, i just chose that title cause it looked so... sexy

Quote from Linsen :

The way it works is quite simple, actually: Devs read the suggestions, think about it and add the requested feature if they feel it's a good idea. When they will add it is a different matter, though.

Yeah, cool.
I just wanted to know if a well accepted idea would get into a "list" or something or if just a thread like this would suffice?

lol that's great advertising!

hope you can sell your gear

Yeah, i'm using the 4.60 driver (always been).
Well, if i disable (do not fire it up) the profiler... will my wheel configurations stand?

I mean, ive set some things on, some off, altered some values, all in the profiler.

If i don't fire it up... what will happen?

And... was your problem exactly like mine?
If it was, well, i've got some hope yet, since you managed to solve your problem...

ps: since if i don't use the profiler i will lose some keybinds... what could i use to assign the F10-F11 keys to the wheels' buttons? but that's not such a problem... wheel centering is hehe

Just to give it a better statement:
It's an "intermittent" (sp?) issue.

It's not like i can't get to center it.
It does get centered "alright".

The problem is that then suddenly it gets off center.
And then (sometimes after recalibrating, sometimes even just going to the garage and then back to the track) it gets centered again.

So... i can't set a value on the DXTweak, for instance, for it to interpret that keepin' the wheel at a given angle should be more to the left/right... you know?

I need something to keep it centered all the time, i mean, something which doens't let it lose it's centering.

I'm using the 4.60 driver.
