Someone was asking about changing the colour of the back plate from yellow, since not all countries have yellow like UK. Choosing your country could change the colour of your plates (front and back), and also a little national flag at the left end, which seems to be the trend on lots of new road cars.

haha, I heard about this at breakfast.
Do you realise I was in the same hotel with a spare bed in my room?

It was great to meet you all, I personally had a great time karting and drinking with you. The devs are the nicest chaps you could wish to meet
The demo Cyber Seat was interesting (motion simulator)

My simple one was created with Macromedia Flash from 2 screenshots, but I understand Flash can also manipulate movies.

Good idea. Sensible sticky topics there already

You mean finishing the drinking around 6 in the morning?

Bugger! Map updated.

Here's a little map I created to help navigate between the different locations. (700KB)

edit:corrected

So, how many are we expecting to turn up? Are we all gonna need to wear name tags?

Have you posted at their forum in this thread? http://demporium.invisionzone.com/index.php?showforum=8

Ahhhhh! There's 2 Tristan Cliffe's !!

Saw a couple of the other events on telly (repeated very early in the morning here in the UK). It looks fast and exciting! I'll keep an eye out for you in the crowd ;-p

Niiice !
Well done EMD and Gopher04, a new benchmark to aim for

Got a USB2.0 to IDE converter, would that help? Or is it not fast enough?
Can plug in a standard IDE hard-drive into USB with it.

I've got 1280 x 1024 for main, 1024 x 768 for 2nd monitor.

I'm curious about these windscreen monitors, how many people use them? They seem like a gimmick to me, for laptop users wanting to watch DVD's.
They might make sense for LFS since they would give a better field of view, without useless top and bottom portions, I don't know
For working on documents, I would prefer a taller monitor to be honest. Maybe I should turn my monitor 90º ?

It's a bit hard to see the gear change light come on, and the dials are a bit hard to read. But it looks like a nice cockpit

Is it as hard to see behind you in the real car? Looking back is useless in the cockpit with the default location.

Belated best wishes. Bet you're only just recovering

Hi Pilot, P1LOT here
I previously read the best settings for the Logitech profiler are as shown in the attached picture. It's best to have the Centering Spring Strength to zero - like you wanted - but still Enable Centering Spring force so that games can control it.

I use a slightly posh office chair that has all the usual adjustments.

The only modification is to lower and tilt it back, and keep it there while racing with the aid of a door-stop jammed underneath the tilt mechanism.

Another thumbs up, CrazyICE, this is an excellent program that I use a lot.

It appears after a certain time to lock up, the list will not be updated. I close it and open it again and the correct current list will then be shown. I don't know what sort of time scale we're talking about, it's only when I think 'Hmmm, that hasn't changed in a while'
Maybe it's when I am running LFS as well, with m@t showing on a 2nd monitor, to look out for mates. (Using software firewall)

Nah afraid not, the whole replay must be uploaded. Though, anyone watching it will be told which lap the legal hotlap was on.

With the race cars, the softest tyres don't usually last more than 2 laps before overheating.

Here's my pride and joy


Notice my homemade modifications to the tax disc holder

Yes, this made it awkward to know how we were doing.
It was OK for those that started the race, seemed to happen after a driver change.
For those of us not as good as Vykos that got trapped in the sand (i.e. me), it was necessary to pit and rejoin, where the split-times would show again, until next driver change.

Sounds like our old friend the spiking pot (the potentiometer gives a spikey readout instead of a constant reading). This occasionally might go over your normal 100%, and the game recalibrates itself to account for the new max. Following that, you can't get 100% anymore, hence not full throttle.

DXTweak is one of several additional software utilities available for Logitech wheels, available from www.wingmanteam.com

It's not too advanced inside the pedals, if you want to have a go at fixing it. Lots of problems and solutions for Logitech Momo Racing (Black) at http://web.axelero.hu/mozso/momo_m.html (which probably cover DFP pedal probs also, since they are very similar)
