Quote from Ripley :Check these videos out then. Forgot to say that with this software you also need a webcam.
Costs (very) few bucks, but overall quality depends on your DIY ability...

I went ahead and ordered TrackIR 5 today. I don't really want to bother with any of that... Thank you though.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :I need to start running, but running on cement kills my knees. Treadmills aren't bad, but I''m ****ing lazy.

Find a dirt track or a grassy area to run on... It'll help.

I quite often see homeless people using the bathroom in public... Sometimes in my backyard. It happens and if you witness, call the police.

Thanks for the reply. I just didn't feel like paying a big price and having it failing or getting glitchy after a year.

If it lasted three years and I had to buy another, i'd be satisfied with the product.

I'm not sure what you mean by "other solutions", but if you mean I could make one or such... I'd rather just buy one that probably would be better or last longer.


Glad to hear yours is still going strong after three years, it's a technology I haven't tried and have been wanting to. So I feel it's time to buy one and see how it works. Theres really alot of games that I play that are supported such as,

Arma 2, GTR2, LFS, Microsoft Flight simuatlor X, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising, Il-2 Sturmovik . Maybe alittle bit of Test Drive Unlimited.

And I could see it being useful in all of those games.

EDIT: And ofcourse this game.

No my car is not broken down hyntty


Sounds like you have you have a really busy life mrodgers. I don't have a wife or kids, nor do I have a dog. I have a roomate that takes care of the cooking and laundry. Some of the jobs I take include unloading shipments from a trailer in which I do have to wear boots (not steel toe boots though)... Which requires walking up a ramp and carrying down quite heavy boxes, containers. I found that running and staying in really good shape, does make the job easier.

TrackIr 5 Questioning.

Is it worth it?

Is it truely worth the somewhat big expense?

What is the quality of it?

Is it lag free? Is the product made well basically?
Do they last a long time? Does the product start to quit working properly after alot of use?


Is there anything important I should know about it?
Do you enjoy jogging/running?

I run 5 miles in 35 minutes time every afternoon. I really do enjoy it.


Do you take a specific route everyday or do you change it up everyday?
I usually take different routes to keep myself from getting bored of going the same old way.

... I mean if they want the fur... they can't just take a 10 pound rock and brain the animal? Why do they gotta let it suffer? I mean damn, that was some sick stuff.

Anyway, another point of view is this... that I saw...

Who filmed it and why? Did these sick cruel people film it for giggles?

If the car is running great with a fresh oil change... during racing it should last an easy 1000+ miles.

In your attempt to prove that you were smarter than me, you failed.

"If you were waiting for something like that, I might suggest you get a job as you're wasting your life." - P5YcHoM4N

What makes it different for you? Clearly when you posted that first post, that was to make me look like a fool. You were waiting for my reaction, that is what I got from it, ONLY it backfired.

"I say near as makes no difference because when you cream into an object it really will be. The end result is the same." - P5YcHoM4N

Yet again, am I driving in a desert with no objects around or am I driving around abunch of trees? I didn't give details, so what right does that give you to go ahead and contemplate? How is the end result the same? 5 mph faster will obviously not be the same.

"Questioning where someone gained a qualification means that you doubt that creditability of that institution and that if they tried to gain said qualification elsewhere they would have failed." - P5YcHoM4N

Maybe I just wanted to know where he learned from? Am I not allowed to be curious?


"The rest of it, to me, sounds more like you peddling your story in an attempt to hide the fact you're a ****wit." - P5YcHoM4N

Why call me names? I have no clue what that means but whatever. I'm not trying to hide anything but rather expose you're a fool and a troll on these forums.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :How can you question how others drive when you're near as makes no difference hitting 100MPH on public roads? That is just ****ing stupid in the highest order. More so as you just said you leave your hand on the gear stick, which means you're trying to control a tonne and a bit with one hand while rattling down a hill at those speeds.

You are an utter tool and should have your licence taken off you.

I finally got a reaction from someone. FINALLY!

That last one... was completely fake. It was to show that someone like you has to be right and will be right. I knew exactly someone like you would try and pick it apart, without even me giving details.

And what right do you have to assume if I have a license? I love how you just assume everything. Jumping headlong and having to be right.

I love this part "when you're near as makes no difference hitting 100MPH on public roads?" first off where did I say that? Or are you just trying to exagerate and make things look worse for me? Where did I say public roads? And where did I say I was going 100 mph?

And I questioned him where he learned to drive, which could have been a negative comment... but you took it upon yourself to make it into one.

Sir/Ma'am, I waited for someone patiently like you.

You just made my day, thank you.

Samjh, if I see a car skidding out of control infront of me, my natural reaction is to hit the throttle.... No thats not my natural reaction, my reaction is to brake or manuver around it. If theres no way to possibly avoid an accident i'll try and slow down to the slowest speed possible. In an accident that cannot be avoided using the throttle would only make matters worse im afraid.

It would take me way less than a second to put my car into gear, thats both hands on the steering wheel and foot away from the clutch. (Which while I coast I have my foot on the clutch and stick the whole time.)

To be honest, I must ask you where you learned to drive.


It's great to conserve gas down that hill, but if it's a long hill with a couple of twists, it's probably best to stay in gear. But it's just a long straight steep hill, i'll just get up to 85-90 sometimes 95mph and consider putting back into gear.

I've coasted down many hills in my life... i've yet to lose control of my car.

The only time I didn't coast down a hill was down a mountain... It really depends where you coast at... if you coast down a steep but yet short hill... thats fine.

A long hill... im abit fidgety about it. I drive a porsche boxter and do not entirely trust the brakes... because if those fails... im screwed.


So both are you are right... And both of you are wrong.


And why the need for accelerating? When you have to make an emergency manuver... aren't you supposed to use braking and steering? Atleast thats what I was taught.... and what you'd go read in any manual.
G25 Calibration problems?
runeman
S2 licensed
Well it's not failing todo so.. It's just off by 1% or 7.2 degrees to the right always... no matter what USB port I plug it into, can't get it to center perfectly.

Anyway when it calibrates it stops in the middle of it... almost like it's getting caught on something.... It doesn't do it smoothly like it should.

The motors are still just as powerful as day one... Maybe it's the powerbrick?



Warranty is up... and i've opened the pedals once before.... so...

Any ideas?

It's a Kimber Ultra crimson Carry II, which I depend on. I actually clean it after every shooting session. I stripped it out on the range and cleaned it, examined the parts.

It was sent back to the manfacturer, everything appeared to be fine.... They sent it back... it still doesn't work. I've always used the same ammo in it, the last 500-600 rounds shot through. They are Blazer .45 auto.

I also have a Kimber Royal II .45 acp, not a problem with that.

Explain what you mean by caught in the breach... you mean the round slanted at 45 degree angle (give or take a few degrees), partially in the chamber being crushed by the slide/bolt?
Gun problems?

On a .45 auto I seem to be having a weird problem. The round doesn't chamber completely 100% it's like slanted upwards and gets stuck. On certain types of rounds it deforms them.

One time it actually fired with the breach open, woah... was that loud even through plugs.



Manually loading the round into the breach or slowly closing the slide chambers it... The action of the gun will not.

Well, I kind of got the gist that you hated cruising, and wanted to get it taken out of the game for good.

If I would've paid attention and read post #28 or #29(not sure which), I would've fully understood.


My apologies.

Wow...


And on the petrol misunderstanding, methanol is considered a fuel, not petrol.

Petrol is a fuel by itself, it is petroleum and other ingredients added and mixed to it to raise it's octane rating mainly.

Quote from zeugnimod :I didn't intend to be.

Sorry for only quoting this sentence. If I felt the need to comment on any other sentence in your post I would have done so.



Of course they can, I never said otherwise. But wouldn't you agree that it would be pretty senseless to start a thread saying that "racing sucks" on a forum for a game/sim that is labeled "Online Racing Simulator"?



I don't. What makes you think that I do? I actually don't HATE anyone.



I'm not "trying to be cool" and I'm not "proud of my taste".



Can you show me where I "flamed" anyone? Or the "endless and useless fights" I am involved in (besides this one now ). I'd like to think that I'm above having useless fights on an internet forum, tbh.

Quit acting like a cool slick guy, like you didn't do anything.

It doesn't make me wonder why you didn't quote anything else... Because you can't argue with any of them... you just pick apart the rest of the post until you can find something to argue and win about.




Don't you think it'd be stupid to bash other people that paid for the game? They bought the game, so it's their right to their opinion. If i'm correct? Cruising has been around for awhile now, what has it done to racing? Tell me if i'm wrong, but don't go do some silly one liner. Actually give me some proof then what someone said.

Quote from zeugnimod :Because that would be pretty stupid of them since it says: "LFS - Online Racing Simulator".

If you'd actually read the rest of my post, than just going and quoting one line of it and then posting your one liner... maybe you'd actually understand what I was getting at.

You're not funny, you never will be in my book... humor is poor nowadays.


Go read the rest of my post, then actually just commenting on more than just one point.

You're the enemy here JJ! So i'll just go along with the cruisers.


I'm not meaning to be rude or meaning to offend you Bose, but... Choose your words well, think before you speak.


If cruisers get what they want... who cares? it just adds more to the game and makes different types of gamers buy it... maybe they're not looking for a racing game... maybe a drifting game? maybe a cop and robber game?

What does that hurt in your game.... racing...? Whatever you choose to call it. I'd think the developers would have the right to add it or not. I just read alot of posts talking about cruising in a negative way. How come it seems that the cruisers(not many) seem to not really say much about racing in a negative way? Maybe they found cruising to be more fun.... so that makes them wrong for their view? What else does that make them, stupid, geeky, childish? Please tell me, i'd like to know.

My opinion is... yes... if it can be done.
