Quote from SatCP :

Unlike with the DFP, you have to take off the G25's wheel and paddles to open the case.

- Remove the hex screws from the plastic Logitech logo. The wheel should now come off. Pay attention though, there are some small wires still connected.
- Inside the axle you see a small PCB that's fixed with just one screw. Take the screw out and you can remove the PCB. On the backside of the PCB you'll find a cable connected coming out of the axle. Disconnect it from the PCB. You can't plug it in the wrong direction, so no need to take notes. Now you can lay the wheel and PCB aside.
- Inside the axle you'll notice 3 screws. Remove them (long screws, so it may take a while). Once that's done, you can take off the paddles.
- You already took out the screws at the bottom, so you should now be able to take the case off.

SatCP, would you mind posting some pictures for these steps? I think it would be of great help to many of us (or those that still thinking whether or not to get the G25) if the cogwheel grinding noise problem arises...

This thread is about total number of S2 licensed players?

or how much the developers earned?

NEW TRACK!!11ONE

Didn't even noticed Christmas is only a month away, time flies...

Quote from Panda :

i honestly think the whole point system is rediculous, i see people spin and recover at 100 mph on a straight ending up with 10k or going off into the dirt, still sliding non the less. its not a real basis of good driving, (line, angle, etc) its just how much you can "slide" your car around any way with out going below 30 mph (or whatever the limit is). dont get me wrong, i can still get 30k in a lap, but it doesnt tell me if i had a good line or not.

real drifting competions, such as D1GP, are based out of 100 points, depending on your line, angle, speed, etc. you get XXX/100. spin (also going off the road) you get zero, understeer gets you zero.

The scoring system is flawed of course, but it is still very well executed when the driver is performing properly on the track. And some drivers (like me) actually find it helpful and informative (on the drifts)

For some of the better drifters out there (LFS wise), the scoring system can actually be a pretty useful tool for them to evaluate their own drifts, and from there on, they can understand in which aspects they're lacking at the moment, speed? or angle?

I had fun in servers that uses this drift scoring system. I think it can be a pretty good tool for drift competitions too, with someone to monitor on of course.

Haven't you guys seen the 2nd video Matrixi/Toni posted? that just doesn't sound right to me :S

Matrixi / Toni,

Don't get upset of all these ignorant discussions, you're far better than that, it is people like you that makes this community a better place (well it is.. sometimes), I wouldn't want you to leave anyways, hehe. (well its actually ain't that bad nowadays, RSC was far worst back then :S )

I love the LFS the way I like it, I play it the way I want to, and of course, I hang out with the people and friends that I choose, instead of trying to squeeze in with the rest (while I still respect them), or to prove something. This has kept me out of trouble for almost 3 years, and I had the a lot of sweet memories and great moments in LFS with lots of friends along the way. Simply awesome.

We'll keep our drifting to our drift servers (and all the drift related talks at some other forum), and the racers to their race servers, it's all good.

plus, if you leave, we'll lose another great person/driver here to show to the rest of the LFS community what's real drifting is supposed to be.

so, stay.

directed at sam bob al or any other moderator
could you do me a favour and edit the vote so theres one more for yes ? i just got the replacement unit and its even louder than the old one

wow... that is seriously Fxcked up.

I'm in a dilemma too..... do I buy now, or wait a little longer.. since I already read some bugs from the wheel... but there are some that still ok with it....

decisions decisions...

I don't see drifting helped to improve anything in racing though, but one thing for sure is that racers that has drifting background rarely spun as they're too comfortable with catching slides.

But thing is, catching slides is what makes you slow, my problem is that I'm too used to pushing the car over its limit, and having a hard time finding the right limit or zone for the car, and I always get frustrated as I tend to oversteer at corner exits, while the other racers just passed me by and say bye, hehe

Quote from SatCP :

I'm not sure what these numbers mean, but I'm sure the Chinese text on top of each number would explain it... Here's a picture of it. maybe someone can translate it:

It's probably nothing but the identification numbers of the persons who worked on the wheel during manufacturing.

hmm... I'm not so sure about the the top left one, something like "sticky skin" (that's a straight translation so it sounds funny), but I'm assuming its the leather.

top right = stitches, by hand (something to do with the leather again, I assume)

bottom left = renovation/repair

bottom right = Examines

oh so you're not pissed now? :P

woo check out all the comments hehe~

This is definitely the only movie that can top/equal with the old "lfsmovieproject" trailer, but with a drifting twist and some new effects!

We're proud of you Toni!

Surprised to see you here FM1982, hardly ever see you in any servers too.

Why sell the DFP? getting a G25 too? :P

how about a 7500GS DDR3?

planning on getting one though..

oh dear... that sounded horrible from Matrixi's video...

Hope Logitech's coming up with a better design real soon..

Quote from KeMoT :

I really liked your " pa pa pa " editing idea - very good

hehe, the "pa pa pa" is my favourite part as well, good stuff.

I say its time to give your brothers some ass-spanking action! *SPLAT*

NotAnIllusion, that's more than enough room for 2 cars twinning, maybe even 3, thanks for the layout!

The 36 degree feels just fine.

It actually made a lot of us better drifters than before.

Angle? I am capable of pushing my XRT to the very limit, speed wise, angle wise, and all the while maintaining a smooth line.

Some of you just need to open your eyes more, real drifts? heh, in fact we're doing stuff more amazing than real life, how can you compare? LFS is still just a simulation/game, imitating the drifts like real life is easy, simply because we're not afraid of crashing. You don't see 'real drifts' in LFS, but you can see a whole lot better drifts than you could in real life.

Trust me, the 36 degree is just fine for us/you drifters out there, you just need more practise and some setup tweaking.

Quote from Gunn :

When I woke up this morning my G25 looked a little larger than before and there were small scraps of plastic and wires lying about the place. Then I realised what had occured. The G25 had eaten my two Momos for breakfast. :munching_

Chicken!? huh?

Now its Scawen, Eric and Geraldine!!

Good luck to the new TEAM!!

Victor, thanks for everything, hope to see you around once in a while still!
