Unplug the wheel from the computer and the wall, and plug it back in again?

Tried everything, unplugged from pc, unplugged the ac adapter, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled them, tried 2 different versions, tried a clean copy of lfs, new patch, previous one, still the same. Im totally clueless.

Anyone? Cant practice without proper ffb

I have almost the same problem, but no matter what I tried, doesnt seem to work. FFB always wants to center the wheel, no feedback from car at all. I get this error at startup:

DI : SetProperty - DIERR_UNSUPPORTED

Tried reinstalling the drivers, tried a fresh copy of lfs, the new test patch, profiler, like evertyhing. Doesnt work. It was ok yesterday, didnt even restart my PC since then. Any ideas?

I'm not sure when Ill get home from skiing, but if my memory is correct its gonna be dec 21. If its dec 22., I wont be able to make it. So count me in as not sure, will check the correct date soon.

Sorry guys, but im not doing this. I rushed home from gf to be home for the qual, and I have much more important stuff to do today.
As it will be my 2nd race I'm not taking part, Id like to ask the admins to remove me from the points table and stuff, since its kinda pointless to continue.
Thanks for the previous races, it was fun! Good luck for ya all, byes.

Well, 3rd race was kind of a disaster for me. At the end of 1st lap Rooble hit my back, spun out. (didnt turn on you, i was going straight). Then I started to climb back, 8th lap, got taken out at 1st split, dont really know what kind of move was that. Back to 20th, had to start it from scratch.
Had some nice overtakes, worth watching..

Full linear steering here (0.00) with 300° on my G25. Im also trying to use as narrow steering lock on cars as possible.

Do I really have to do prequalification on round 3 again?

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

Just a reminder for Rev: Next week there is another race, its weekly

Thanks dude. I think I'll remember it now

Bah I thought race will be on next week..

I do play, both real and play money. Used to do freerolls on carbon poker, but nowdays im playing on PKR with some guys from the hungarian league. We do play every night, so if you wanna have ur arse kicked just yell

Quote from StableX :

I voted no... 8 mins gives a much better chance for less faster drivers to get higher which makes for a better first race!

Well, as for myself, I only had 1-2 laps if I remember, I always got hold up. Even out of the pits, ppl just ran over me, and then held me up. No matter how fast you are, if you get some traffic, you are screwed. Id say do the qual in 2 parts, 1st half of the grid, then the 2nd, or just do 1 lap quals. That would be interesting..

Quote from Jakg :

Very tempted to make my second ever LFS video about my little scrap with a famous Irish driver like yourself!

The reason i didnt win was StableX - had he not of told me the secret was to race in boxers, i would never of bought the ZWR Man-Thong and i would never of got the speed advantage i needed!

Been racing in boxers for like 1,5 years now, seems to work, at least for me

Was a fine race for me, won R1 and R2, and maybe I could have even won the last without the mistakes in the middle of the race, but you cant win everything

Quote from Dru :

number boards aren't exactly in the correct places or lare enough.

Any chasnce you could modify your skin to allow for these number boards please

Thanks,

Dru.

Is it enough on 1 side? If yes I could have a look at it.

tHUNder special #1

Quote from Kaw :

There was 3 lag "races" if I remember




This is by FAR the most stupid thing I've EVER seen

There were 2 lag laps, and a mass crash cause of lag at the first start. Deal with it.

2 suggestions:

#1: Lag lap is not a damn HOTLAP. Its a slow outlap, having around 50% throttle. We dont want anymore crash compilations in T1.
If admins say theres another lag lap, deal with it, and dont be like OMG WTF.

#2: If an admin says something, do it what he says, and dont start arguing. If admin restarts, he has a reason for it. Not seeing instructions cause of blocking msg isnt an excuse.
DONT BLOCK MSG UNTIL RACE REALLY STARTS.

Next time we will give DT penalties for these stuff, so try to master them.

Quote from theycallmeebryan :

Are you fricken kidding me? Ofcourse i know RPM =/= boost.... :doh:

The first thing you are trying to "prove me wrong" with is completely stupid. You are comparing building boost without load and building boost with load.



In neutral, less A/F ratio needed to get the desired RPM??... uh no. I hope you meant throttle position. If not, you need to stop posting in these forums before you turn into a complete moron. Here ill fix it for you.

On A/F I wanted to say air and fuel, not the ratio of the mixture. And if you read down a bit, you would see that I misread your post. And no, I didnt copy nothing from wiki. As I said, I just misread it. Read it twice next time

ps: Yep, I admit I was wrong with the supercharger, its quite a rare stuff over here, so I just havent experienced it so far. Ppl learn from their faults :P

Quote from de Souza :

Left-hand, just like in real life.

For those who drove both in real life, is it hard to change? I was thinking, changing gears with my left hand sounds very weird. And someone has said (sorry I don't remember who) that whipers and indicators are also changed? Lol, I would mess it up big time

I was thinking bout the same yesterday when I saw a vauxhall with RHD. Dont really know how he could drive over here, like how do you overtake if you just cant see whats in the opposite lane? And for shifting, afaik the gears are in the same position, so 1st would be top left. I dont think I would ever be able to learn that..

HAHA get this:
Not so long ago I was in a shopping centre, and was heading to the parking lot. Its a pay-to-park stuff, so at the entrace you gotta push a button to get a ticket, and that thing is on the left side. So I was driving in, stopping at the car in front of me. Suddenly the driver opens the right door, walks to the machine to the left, presses the button, and grabs the ticket, and then walks back. Man, I never laughed that bad this year so far I laughed so hard I stalled the car like 3 times till I parked it

To be on-topic. I use both RHD and LHD depending on track. There are some tracks where you can gain several tenths by switching sides, and also effects the tyre temperature, and wearing. I also use wheel view. Not like I cant drive in cockpit, I just like the more view it offers since we cant move our head in-game like we do in real life. Cockpit view just wont make it more realistic for me.

Wheel4hummer is correct. More load=more exhaust. In a turbo application, you want to load the car in order to build boost more quickly.

However, more rpm with load= more exhaust overall. So say you are seeing 50% load at 1000rpms, then compare it to 50% load at 3000rpms.... More exhaust will be created at the 3000rpm mark. And you can test it yourself. Another way to look at it... at 3000rpms, apply 50% tps and see how fast the turbo spools. Then do the same thing but apply 100%TPS. vwahla.

Still, revs itself doesnt mean boost really builds up. Like you have the car in neutral, then rev it to lets say 4000 rpm, then load that engine (to be simple, be in gear and just step on the brake). In neutral, since its not under load, less A/F needed to get the revs, which equals in less exhaust. Then in the next case, when loading the engine, it does more work to maintain the same rev, which means more A/F, more exhaust -> the turbo effectively builds up boost.
Its not just about how fast it builds up the boost (because at 4000rpm in neutral you will not have boost effectively), but how much boost it builds up if it does any.

Like I have a supercharged 3.8 in my car. Since its a 'forced-fed' engine, we can talk about boost. During daily driving, I can simply drive without making any boost. No boost either when revving it in neutral. Boost only builds up when the engine is loaded.

Im not saying you are wrong, I just say revs itself doesnt mean theres built up boost in the cylinder head. Also, cruisin at 60 km/h at 3000 revs wont make boost building up, not even slowly. Load is what you ned when you want to build up boost.

PS: ah, sorry, seems like I totally misread the facts, and wanted to prove the opposite. You have to excuse me, its 5:15 am
