can you call it placebo effect if you end up with faster times as a result??

i am a total convert to the CSR program now

i tested it out quickly last night, and found in the FXR i couldn't hear the tyres screaching or some other noises, people don't like change, they get comfortable and when something new comes along they cry

so i thought i would give it a go, i lowered the master volume on the CSR program to 7, switched off the annoying fuel warning sound, and that was it.

did a few laps with the AI cars to see if pitspotter was still working, all fine, so i venture out onto the conedodgers server.
start from the back, first few laps i am a little sketchy, i always find my first race or so of the day is crap.

second race, i am starting from 6th on the grid (i think) anyway i REALLY start getting into the game, things are "flowing" better for me.

3rd race, i am bloody flying, second position for most of the race, there is only 2 of us with FXR`s we are smoking the other cars, i was loving it, down to T1 hard on the brakes, the brakes squeel, the engine is backfiring a little bit, BANG, BANG down the gears, drivetrain whines, halfway round the corner, power ON, turbo spooling up, drivetrain whine getting faster and faster, AWESOME.

set myself a new PB of 1.43.63 (IIRC) i had not even driven this track until a 2 weeks back

next race same again, i come 3rd or 4th fastest FXR driver, the rest, them bloody FZR`s

much better results for me, and i have had a few beers

Quote from Xaid0n :

can people host somewhere other than rapidshare? some people cant use it and probs dont get the chance to get the sounds.

mine never came from rapid share, it came from somewhere else a few pages back
http://www.k5.dion.ne.jp/~yama-p/

rapid share never works for me either

i used this tonight on the conedodger server 1

i drive the FXR, i turned the CSR volume down to 7 and switched off the fuel warning sound, apart from that, i left it alone, i love it

managed to beat my PB as well, so it MUST make your car faster LOL

yea i had this working with pitspotter today, handy tool

i downloaded it and was watching another server, very easy to use TBH !

did it work?

tried this out tonight, couldn't get this and pitstopper to work together, although i never REALLY messed about.

i just did a few quick laps with the bf1/fzr/fxo cars

it was quite good, i must admit, i think i would rather wait until all the cars are done by the same person, rather then getting loads of samples from other people. i found i couldn't hear the tyres screeching properly as there was loads of other noise going on :?

members stats

graphs are a nice touch
can somebody explain the "flags" section?

ok then heres mine

try the members section of the website

well for what it was worth, when i went to cone1 i smashed my PB time, so all is not lost.

to be completley honest, i signed up to this league as a little bit of a challenge, as i had never driven any aston tracks, and my G/F has started a new job working lates, which meant i needed something to do in the evenings, i had hoped i would not be last, but last night on cone1 i was the fastest FXR driver for a while, and started setting consistently decent times. so lets hope i can do the same tonight LOL

i entererd,i logged on, tried cone1
saw no "regulars" checked the time which was 9pm, remembering the qualifying was starting at 7.30 and was to take around an hour, i assumed it would be finished and that everybody was chilling out @ cone2

with the server not being set to private,i thought it was open to all and sundry after the qualify race, i must admit, being told to "go away" pissed me right off.

i also thought i had read that you could spectate, but if places were limited you would be asked to leave?

will LFS use the 1024 version if its in the skinsx folder?

been a while since i read up on this but.
a lot of the road going subaru imprezas are set with 1m toe in, prodrive themselves recommend this IIRC

the thinking is, that when you are hard on the brakes, the wheels splay backwards a little anyway, so hitting the brakes hard, can give you perfect alignment when needed for the corner.

not sure if LFS is that advanced??!!??

unil 2 nights ago, i had never even driven any asto national, prefering to drive the gtr cars at blackwood (the only track i ever learned properlly TBH)

gave myself a challenge, and somehow ended up in this league LOL

was talking to my G/F last night about it, i have never done anything like this before, and i told her that anything except last place, i will be happy with

memory is a bit murky but......
is that the f13 gearbox? or was it the f10 gearbox

Quote from Resound :

A real road car will sputter and lose power if it has a rev limiter. They either cut the fuel of retard the ignition which makes them run poorly enough that they can't rev any higher.

mine pops and bangs (JDM impreza with quite a few engine mods)

2 weeks back i came off a roundabout and joined a massive long traffic jam, i stopped, checked the oncoming traffic and could see a few cars up ahead starting to turn around, so i went for the L337 6500 rpm drop the clutch donut, and buggerd the clutch

slipped like buggery and bounced it off the limiter a few times by mistake illepall

damm, another £400 lighter on the wallet for an uprated exedy clutch, old one has not been in 2 years and i had not done much drag racing with it either

bloody cars, i can remember when i was 17 and me and a mate went for a drive out, i had a nova sr with twin 40 carbs and a piper high lift cam

my mate had an mk2 astra with a 1.8 engine we fitted, he is "showing off" at the local woods, just revving the feck out of his engine, bouncing the valves illepall

lasted around 5 mins before it blew up PMSL

look at your picture here

see how it makes the XF look to "long" ?

if you adjust say your right monitors picture towards the right edge of the screen, you will make the car look shorter, until it looks the right length, but you will not "see" the section which would be behind the monitor bezal

IE: the front part of the door, you would not see at all in that screen shot.

does that make better sense?

adjust one of your monitors, i adjust my right one, but adjust the horizontal setting to move it towards the other monitor,

IE

adjust the right monitor picture towards the left, this helps fool the brain, that the section behind the bezals is covered, rather then have the screen stop, then a gap, then the screen rejoining, if you know what i mean??

works much, much better for me, i was having trouble hitting the apex on the corners before i did this as the apex seamed to "jump" about a bit to much between the 2 monitors, where as now i can "put" the apex between them where the bezel section would be

this does mean you actually "loose" a section of the screen, but it works much better, you do have to kind of know whats missing from the display tho?

Quote from Nighty :

Wonder how many S2 racers go back to Demo mode to take out frustrations they can't do in S2 mode? .

LOL

my mate has just got into the game and i have been racing him on the demo servers, its comical how things go on in there

i did 4/5 races and pretty much won them all people could obviously see i was racing and not messing about, and some bellend crashes into me and starts the whole "PRESS ONE FOR TEH CRASHER" rubbish

before you know it, im banned, and sitting infront of my pc laughing out loud, classic, explained to my mate that it happens quite a lot on demo servers LOL

it seams like theres loads of little secrets that i never knew about, i never played s1 much so it looks like i have missed everything


i followed a car yesterday on "swain drift" autocross layout, watched him drive past some ballards and round the building onto the skidpan.

i was quite impressed

i never knew about this, does anybody know why it is there?

Quote from Shotglass :

generally to all dfp and g25 users ... always use 1.0 for wheel compensation (unless you belong to the crowd that likes to change their driver settings all the time)

and for the record my settings:
dfp 720 race: driver: force 100 deg 720 lfs: force 80 deg 720 comp 1
dfp 200 drift: driver: force 100 deg 200 lfs: force 40-50 deg 180 comp 0.8
dfp 720 drift: driver: force 100 deg 720 lfs: force 40 deg 720 comp 1 (not like i can drift at 720)



im strong enough but with those settings i get massive oscillations on the straights 100/80 is about the highest i can go with an acceptable level of oscillation

if i park the car and leave the wheel sometimes it turns back and forwards by itself


i just like the heavy steering

i can lap faster in the FXR myself, it was the top speed run down blackwoods long straight that was confuseing me as the FXR was faster :o

maybe i just need to nail the corners as flotch said, i do like the XRR car, i like the way it drives, i have never liked the FZR for some reason.

LMAO

i cant even lift my massive corner desk thing up by myself :eek:



it needs to be taken apart and carried in sections when its moved about :eek:
