I dont think you can dial out the unloading of the right front because the only things that change download on a tire in a corner are COG, track width and inertia. You can however change the speed of how fast the loads change on your car with the dampers.

for bob:
Could you make a textbox where i can enter the values, because me and the sliderbars don't get along very well

Quote from brads82 :Just taking a stab in the dark here but would that be because of W25 having problems and now the code is changed so anything made in W25 would now be obsolete ......

indeed, just tried to do it with w26 and I had the same problem. No surprise there as there were no changes to the code regarding single player mode.

It solved the mpr problem for me, but I still can't view my spr that i made on w25 (I get a pop up saying "Track start positions do not match").
spr is attached.

When trying to make a new spr i noticed weird behaviour which i noticed last night as well.
When I save a replay, it wants to immediately view it but I can't use any of the controls (tab, v, whatever). I'm definitely in the replay (seeing as I can't enter the controller menu), but i cant do anything.
The most weird thing about it is that I can still fast forward beyond to what i have recorded (replay was 1 minute, but i can view further).
This was a qualifying session in single player btw.

Indeed, what thor says, at least, that's what it says in my racing books.

Well, the first noticeable thing is your driving input. Sometimes you fully brake or throttle up while already using 100% of your tires' ability to corner, so if you want to accelerate/decelerate while cornering you should drive slower in the corner. If you want to see the theory of this, google for tire friction circle
Second thing, don't move the wheel when you're on a straight. Straights are there to get as quickly as possible to the other corner, and not to slalom.
Thirdly, and this is a common mistake, you frequently early apex at the 90 degree corner after the straight so you actually have to slow down in the second part of the corner (while you actually should be accelerating). So try to turn in later 1 meter at a time until you think you can finally nail the corner. You also did not take the biggest arc through a corner a lot of time, which limits the speed in which you can take a corner
Last thing is consistency. Try to use reference points around the track (brake point, turn in, apex, turn out). These would help you a lot since your laptimes were not that stable.

I hope the criticism will help, because you can easily do a 34/35 if you didnt make those mistakes.

It's standard there on my mac, so if you'd like a pdf, just host the doc and ill convert it.

Quote from Gabkicks :LMAO btcc is ridiculous. It looks no different than bangerracing. How did such dirty driving become so accepted?

That's exactly why I prefer v8 supercars over that overvalued lfs demo league

I havent used ubuntu in a long time, but im sure you can find some info on ubuntuforums.org if you search for fstab.
You can also fix it temporarily in some sys conf screen, but you'd have to do that with every reboot, so my advice would be learn the syntax of fstab, or ask someone for his fstab file.

Adding extra tc code to the bf1 is useless imo, as it gets banned next season anyhow. Btw good suggestion about the magical spring, looks like you've done your homework before posting

I dont want drifters sending me 20 packets a second per person so I can see their flashing lights.

-20

edit: btw, I made an app like that before (for cops), and had to keep the lights on for 1 second before switching to other lights, otherwise other people don't see it.

The end of the quali was fun. was following the sector times on my laptop, and it's funny to see that the sector times differed so much between ferrari and mclaren, so that will be fun for tomorrow.

I have to say one thing though.. That chicane is gay

You already know what to edit and how, so why dont you do it yourself instead of bossing people around?

why dont you just get a game like nfs dude, seeing as you like all the crappy stuff that game has?

If you can drive with 180 degrees, you can do it with 720 too, it just takes some practice. I'd recommend making small jumps in degrees until you hit 720 or just practice more.

Quote from duke_toaster :It's like having a script do all the driving for you - IMO it's cheating.

Then you should also consider 90% of all lfs drivers cheaters as they use a mix of throttle blip/cut, throttle help/brake help and auto gears.

imo it's valid to use launch control or traction control seeing as no one made any rules about them. So if you really dont want to see apps like that, make a rule book.

there have been numerous posts about this and how to get it running in osx, so use the search...

Quote from mrodgers :At $300 for a "PC game controller", just because the G25 has been out, doesn't mean that everyone is now rich and has one. You're comment has nothing to do with what he asks, which is whether people use a manual clutch or auto clutch.

What a BS reply...

He says he can't find any controllers with a clutch, and asks for ideas, so I gave him one. And seeing that the g25 is pretty popular everywhere, i think i'm allowed to make a little joke....


btw, for the topic starter, the g25 isnt the only way to go. Buy a second set of wheels or pedals on ebay or something and hook them up so you have 4 axis ( you can even make a handbrake if you want).

Quote from Soeren Scharf :hello Scawen,

would it be possible to include the absolute time into the LAP/SPX packets? If a program wants to calculate the gap between 2 cars, it would have to add up the times of all driven laps. But this is not possible if the program is missing the start of the race (eg. if a spectator connected to the server after some laps).

regards Sören

That would be a nice addition. I was planning a pitboard app for on my laptop (which I keep next to me while I race), but such a field would make it very easy and simple.
I also got 2 questions about OutGauge. What is the difference with OG_FULLBEAM and OG_HEADLIGHTS, and shouldn't OG_SIGNAL_L and OG_SIGNAL_R both be enabled when you've pressed 9 (hazard lights on).

I learned most racing techniques by searching this forum and google. There are some really good topics swerving around here that will definitely make you go faster (the whole biggie and kev topic for example).
So if you really want to improve, improve your searching skills first.

Quote from tomylee :All of the sudden the sequential up shifting (pulling towards me) does react on every little touch (down is ok). Anybody the same problem and a solution?

I have the exact same problem, and sometimes it even upshifts twice. Putting the gear debounce on 150ms helped, but this solution is far from ideal
