I have also recently bought a G25, and my question is:
Is it better to use Manual or Sequential Gear Box ?

I suspect that manual gear box is a little slower than sequential one ?

Nice news, thanks to all: becky, Sam and all other guys working in the shadow and make all this possible.

I know that it is a hard job, but we are good clients :-) and we really admire your job!.


Friendly Michel.

Great its work, Thanks again.

Quote from Jakg :

...can't you activate your own account?

I can't find your username, anyway

Hello,

Probably because I have create the account with the user name Michel, that is my real name....

You should have a user name account "Michel" with MikeBlue as driver in it...

If you want me to change that let me now,

Thanks

I have just signed, Jakg could you activate me :-)

Thanks.

Michel.

Not so nice as you... but a little stunt for me in the same place.

Oh, I already know that you are a good driver, you are now a good stuntman.

But a burning question : have you won the race ?

Your desire are order for me , so I have modified the graph to add colors.

You will find enclosed the Excel Sheet with the graphics and an Excel Macro to automaticaly create all the graphics for all races.

It works fine for me, If you experiment any troubles with the Macro, tell me.

Hello !

Sam, Do you think that you could add a counter on the CTRA web page that show us the percentage remaning before CTRAX server restart or something like that ?


Michel

Oops that's right there is a problem, I must have a look sorry for that.

I have made change in the previous post, it is just a try if it doesnt make sense forget it....

I have one :-) a funny one with an FXO on Rally X !

FXO FE5 1m17s680

And now ?, is it ok ? :-) I am so impatient.....

Just kiding, have a good work, I hope that all will be well.

I know that all of you are doing a great job, and because it is also my job I know that computer and software can be sometimes "bad boys !"
as if they were alive !.


Michel.

You have a false contact due to the crash !.
Now you have to try to find where is the false contact.
It can be :
A wire into the serial (DB9) connector;
A pin into the connector;

If it is a pin connector problem, you should see a pin in bad shape.
If no, it is probably a wire connection into the connector....
So you will have to open the wheel, carrefully, note every part you remove and you will probably need to do a welding on a wire.
You can also change the connector, you will found it in every good electronic shop.

Good luck.

hello,

Your brakes are connected to the wheel by a sort of serial cable I think, with a 9 points connexions.

You could have a look to this connection :
Damage pin, damage wire, cable. The worst could be a problem into the wheel on the chipset or electronic device that could be damage by the crash....

Try some tests with your control panel changing the settings, I mean working in one axe for both brake and throttle or 2 axis...

Good luck.

Some simply things that every drivers could use:

1. Do a first race, let the majority of drivers ahead...
   
2. During this race do you possible to run as fast as possible and do you best and stable time, because majority of drivers are ahead normaly you are not going to disturb them.
   
3. At the end of this first race look at your time compare it with other drivers. (you can also check their own progression in the CTRA licence)

So after this first race you know :

1. What is your best time
   
2. If you are stable or if your best time is only due to luck !
   
3. You know what is the best time of other drivers and you could see were you are.
   
4. If you check their licence you know also there levels

So, for the next race:

It makes no sense to try to beat drivers that are at 2 or more seconds faster than you. Let then ahead, try to follow then, it is very helpfull to understand how to drive clean and faster.
Advantage:
You don't disturb better driver than you,
You will be probably cleaner driver
You could benefits of good drivers lesson learn (trying to follow them)

Of course all of that is supplementary "trick" and the rules are to be follow with no discussion possible.

hehe, I really hope that was a typo

Oh sorry Col yes it was a typo.... lol :ashamed:.

It is easy to see into the licence points that you are playing with racer that are strongest than you. So I think when you race against racer better than you it is logical to let them ahead and to do your possible to respect there level.

In other words it sounds stupid to try to pass a better driver than you especially if after you become a slow down for him !.

Of course unfortunaletly some times even when trying to be as clean as possible, we makes some fault and apologies for that...

We all need to remenber that we love playing all together, so we should try to respect and play in peace !

I know that you are a great diver col , so all other people are going to know that too....

I love you phrase Moose :

Quote :

People need to calm down a little and just enjoy the racing without going all out with silly moves just to gain a couple of points imo.

Ps : sorry for my english, it looks like my driving ! I do my best but sometimes I fault !....

Very nice jobs, "bravo" sam.

Michel

My previous predilection was right !
Congratulation moose it is now your turn and you deserve that :-).

Michel , a french driver who sometimes dreams about platinium....

Congrats to both of these nice drivers... You are the next moose ...

Beckly and all STCC staff...
I understand very well the level of stress that could give this STCC job.
I think that the most important and what must continue to subsist is the ambiance, amicality bettween drivers and level of quality STCC races have created.

You have created more than an simple sofwtare project but more a style of simulation that have created a sort of better life under simulation :-).

I have found on that STCC server a deep amicality and respect between drivers.

I am sure that you are going to do got job in other projects due to this aspect.

So good luck, hope I could race one day in the STCC server again.


Michel French driver.

Hello to every driver of STCC, I am french so sorry if I do some errors in my post... :-)

I am not sure to have understood what is the major problem running down STCC servers... but I would like to say few words to thanks the STCC admin Beckly and other for there very good job. I hope that you are going back soon.
The level of professionalism of these STCC servers was high and intelligent, so don't let other destroy your force and let us hope to a better SIM world...

I thanks all of you very good driver who have help me to progress... a little !.

I am a french software engineer so if I could help STCC do not hesitate to contact me...

If all of you want I propose to do a post with all driver name who want to encourage beckly, sam, victor and other.

If a financial help could help STCC we could try a donation coming from all drivers ?

Hope to meet STCC soon...

Michel.
