If you do get a bigger cogwheel, though. Won't the ffb be messed up, as it is wired/configured to whatever rotation your other wheel had?

Smoking makes you less healthy yes, but you can still keep fit.

What? Smoking will make it 5 times harder to keep fit. The "But you can still keep fit." will be made so much much harder if you smoke... I'd steer away asap if i were you.

Quote from Zen321 :

I have tried Cruise servers. The overall impression is the same for me. I find it pointless and goal less. At least, when racing your goal is to become faster and faster. Can you improve your cruising skills ? Of course you can follow more and more obediently the rules, but is this really attractive ? drifting has a goal to : gain better control of your slides, over and over.

It's not all about following rules in a cruise server. Some of the fun factors of cruising are roadracing. Having to dodge/avoid oncoming traffic whilst driving as fast as possible, the extra traffic makes it more of an adrenaline boost aswell ALSO having to avoid the killer barriers, signs etc is aswell fun. You also have the goal of getting better cars, gaining ranks in the cop system, and cruising in a big 20man+ cruise are all examples of ALOT of fun, but just a change from racing. (But you don't even know about it all, unless you actually try some of the good cruise servers.)

Quote from Zen321 :

Secondly, try to do cops chases all the time, and you'll end up with no money or kick/ban. When racing or drifting you can do it all the time, without having to sacrifice what you earned with time (money when busted in the cruise servers - but you can't sacrifice your racing/drifting skills)..

This is half of the fun of it. If you respectedly get into a chase you WON'T get a kick/ban, you've just got to keep it within reason. (I, personally drive in CLC, and i know this is the case there, i don't know which ones you've tried). The whole point is that you lose money because then you have got to balance the fun with the loss, and therefore getting more adrenaline whilst doing a bank-chase, or even a normal chase, in which you get fined. (again, you won't even know what is is, but its something like having 5 cops chasing you after you've robbed a bank, escaping with a fair bit of money, unless you get caught and fined the amount you tried to steal).

Quote from Zen321 :

About real life, maybe people don't go on a track, because it is more expensive than buying LFS + a good controller ? (G25 in my case). Meanwhile, everybody with a drivers' license can cruise IRL.

I see what you mean, but still my other point stands. Cruising irl, is FAR different from the possiblities you get of other quests in cruise servers.


And I, personally can't have a driving license as I'm only 13, so it's a good substitute. Ha Ha. I am by no means trying to starting a flame war, just saying my points.

Quote from Zen321 :

Actually I find his description quite close to what cruise is. The COPs on cruise servers seem to really wanna get in the role, which ends up in choking fines, and no fun at all during the chases.

Seriously if the cops were there other than for getting fines and just here for the fun of chases, why would they then ban people that get too many fines

IMHO, CnR were a lot of fun, challenging, and you could have some intense chases there. Cruising : what's the point of rolling at 50 mph with the UF1 getting money to buy cars that require a lot of time investment, while you can rip them for free (cash+time = 0) on other servers?

You don't know about cruise servers either (or, the good ones.) As i'm sure you know that there are more than one???


And about the rest of your post. I thought the chases were the fun parts????(as we all know there's the great police who put you in jail in real life, and that's aload of fun ain't it??) If real life is so good then why not go and race on a track?

You obviously know very VERY little about cruise servers then, so i suggest, Shh.

Quote from The Moose :

Cruising is where kids that have no racing ability hang out and talk endless garbage. A glorified chat room with cars if you will.:hide:

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Whenever I go on cruise servers, I always literally drive like I do in real life. And then people try passing me in horrible places and I type "you almost ran me off the road!". And after I say that I ask, "Do you drive like this in real life?" To which I get a response of "soz im only 13 i cant drive yet".

Quote from Migz :

And that is cruising summed up

And that's haters summed up.

Does it to me too. Made a thread about it abit ago yet people didn't really see a fix. It might be bad USB ports. Just wish I had something to test the ports with.

Bah. I don't have a USB cable ATM. So maybe I'll have to wait...

Other suggestions though???

Okay, i have a samsung e350 phone, currently on 02, and wanting to change to Orange for Dolphin . I need to unlock my phone(when i enter my Orange card, it asks for an unlocking code of some sort), so, how do i do this? All I've seen online is stuff that costs/asks for details when you phone 'em so I don't like the looks.

If the only free way is illegally, and someone knows it (this is what pms are for) .

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Well, maybe true but I have questions and I need answers. On the one occasion where I may need to ask Lerts to see his rather slanted POV on something I will ask him.

Besides, he posts such alot that it will be page after page of <this post has been blocked because this user is on your ignore list> blah blah

Silly excuse, YOU are in the wrong, therefore deal with it.

Hi guys,

I've got an old, old, old thin next camera, not been used for ages, but I don't know why it wont work. Which is the problem.

I've installed drivers, from disc etc, installed the program that comes with it and even though it should be ok it comes up with "Cannot detect camera"

I've tried using it as a webcam before (it worked.) But now it's just a blank screen of nothingness.

Can't get the photos, make a video etc. Must be the camera, or have i missed something? USB ports are A-ok!

You're the one in the wrong, matey. Cut the drags, cut the shit on the road, be safe, keep near the speed limit. Don't stop on a highway. All this shit, if it stopped there would be less deaths. I don't want to die because some jerk drives into me in an act like yours. So you deal with your "Coolness" and keep it to the track. Besides if you go there lots, then you can test all this stuff there. Simple as.

No, because if you aren't turning the wheel in-game asmuch then you aren't going to steer as much. Why's that hard to understand. If it only moved 240deg, then that wouldn't be full lock would it??

Yeah you could set it up so that the car only turns 240Deg. But then you won't have full lock...

It may seem he's innocent, doing it on the highway etc, etc. But look at his other videos, to see what he really does and where.

Quote from BoyGTA :

-1 here. I dont like truck racing.

I personally love the idea. Maybe not because I like it, but because others do, and it sounds like fun (Even though I've never done it before.)

Just because you don't like it others might like it, so why have a negative.


- +1

Sorry to BUMP this thread, but it's still happening.. and I'm starting to get annoyed. Sometimes it works for a day - (or more!), but recently it's been resseting like no tomorrow!

I've checked/tried all USB ports, all seem clear, but one thing I've noticed is that once or twice when I've been plugging it in it's sparked abit when it touches the USB port. I was confused, and thought that something might be shorting out or something? Idk but some advice would be cool.

i think it would be really interesting what kind of toothpaste people are using

I use colgate, you?

Windows Firewall: off.
I've got no other programs,
Had problem only once, when i downloaded what i thought was a java (or some sort of update like that, but actually it was a virus and it was bad :schwitz otherwise my pc is clean. Firewalls, and a-like are just pointless imo.

Basicly - You need to start lfs tweak, select the car you want in lfs & in tweak, change the settings on the tweak, and when you leave the pits in lfs it will've changed the cars, power, or whatever you tweaked, but remeber once you've changed something goto the garage in lfs, and leave so that it can apply the tweak.
