Agreed. Ender's Game is a great book and not your typical sci-fi story at all. I don't know anything about Card and honestly I don't care, either. He can be the world's most annoying dick for all I care; I don't know the guy in person, don't have to live with him, work with him or whatever. I just read his books Or... book, rather, as I've only read Ender's Game by him.
I don't think that's what he meant. He means that the startpoint only applies to one person and he wants it to apply to everyone like a normal start/finish line would.
Does anyone know of an application that can analyze mp3 files (or .wav, .wmv) and display a graph like the one Crommi posted on the previous page? I'm asking because there's this album by a band I like, and from the very first time I listened to it I felt like it was mixed/mastered way too loud. It really bugs me everytime I listen to it.
The thing is, I've pointed this out on other forums to other people and none of them seem to notice it. So now I'm wondering if it's just me My guess is those other people's hearing is probably messed up from going to too many concerts without wearing earplugs. So I'd like to analyze a few songs from that particular album and then compare it to some other songs from previous albums and compare the results to get my point across.
I'm afraid I don't understand your question either. Assists have little or nothing to do with how your wheel functions. The only "assist" in LFS is auto-clutch, if I'm not mistaken?
Do you mean that you want your steering wheel to stay in place after you've turned it, instead of centering itself again? If so, that's the FFB. Setting the FFB force in the game to 0% should fix this, I think. Also make sure you have the centering spring disabled in the Logitech Profiler.
How do you shut down your computer? It's a known problem that when you hibernate your computer rather than shut it down normally, you'll have to unlock LFS again next time you run it.
Although now that I think on it... I don't think I have that problem myself I've seen plenty of people complaining about it on this forum, though.
Ah, when I first opened this thread I thought you had won that Force Dynamics! Too bad, football sucks indeed But at least you got to try out that setup.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all 1 litre bikes are "useless" on the road. Not in the slightest. Just the hypersports like the R1, gixxxer 1000, Fireblade etc... And even then they're not useless, but I just think it's a waste of power and technology on normal roads. I do think they're awesome bikes, though, and I'd love to ride one one day
Exactly, the feeling of being thrust forward with a great amount of torque between your legs is fantastic. In that regard big engines are great, but not the high revving kind you find in hypersports. You want to be looking at big V-twins. The torque they have at low rpm's makes for very very enjoyable and thrilling riding in everyday circumstances, and they'll leave hypersports in the dust coming out of corners on trackdays every time. Sure they'll come flying past you on the straights but like Forbin said there's not much fun in going fast in a straight line At least not for very long anyway, it can be fun to do a short high speed sprint starting from stand still like, say, from one traffic light to the next
Yeah, I find myself riding a lot sportier on my girlfriend's 650cc than I do on my 1000. It's fun going hard through the gears without immediately going way too fast (obviously you're still going at illegal speeds once you're into 3rd gear on pretty much any bike from 400cc upwards). And the fact that my girlfriend's bike is a naked one also gives me a greater sensation of speed whilst actually not going that fast.
I don't really see the need for an R1 either In everyday use you'll probably only ever use about 25% of its potential. If you're planning on going to trackdays on a regular basis, then it's a different story
Well, considering you are on a tight budget and FreeTrack is free I'd say FreeTrack is definitely worth a try because you have nothing to lose, except maybe a webcam It works very well once you have it set up properly. The most annoying part about FreeTrack is probably that you need to "ruin" a perfectly good webcam by removing the IR filter.
Nope, just a webcam, but you'll need to remove the IR filter from it in order to get the best results.
EDIT: oh, forgot the most important part! Which is probably also the hardest (at least I thought it was). You'll need to get some kind of device to put on your head with IR leds, which FreeTrack uses to track your head movements. There are plenty of DIY tutorials out there, but also some finished products that work right out of the box. You'll need to order those somewhere on the internet. I got a nice fitting cap myself which works perfectly and doesn't look ridiculous. In fact, I can just wear it outside and no one would notice that it has 3 IR leds in it.
EDIT 2: or you can use a WiiMote if you have one. It supposedly offers better performance than a webcam, but it costs more as well so it may not be an option for you if you haven't already got one.
Ah, I was wondering when the new DLC was gonna come out. Didn't realize it was out already. I'll probably download it tomorrow. I didn't really like TLAD too much but this one definitely looks and sounds very good!
A big -1 from me. You don't find these buttons in real cars, do you?
Yes, if it is enabled a light will blink in the dash whenever it engages, and yes, it blinks at the moments the brakes are being applied. It will also show in the F9 menu; the "wheels" will light up orange whenever the ABS is applied on them.
Good question
Maybe instead of asking these questions you should simply download the patch and try it out for yourself?
