Quote from blackbird04217 : Also I didn't seem to have an issue with pushing it down where the gear was, it just seemed that the button wasn't detecting where the stick was.

Same with mine. Goes down and into the position fine, but doesn't detect anything.

Don't really want to send my wheel back to get it fixed either Would rather fix it myself or keep using a workaround.
G25 shifter issue: Reverse

OK, so had my G25 for a while now, and I've been living with something that's been winding me up.

About... 3 days after I got it, my push-down reverse thingy has stopped responding completely. Everything else on the shifter is fine, except it doesn't want me to go backwards.

Anyone else had a similar problem and knows how to fix it?

Quote from MijnWraak :So just because it's not useful to racers means it should be taken out?

Hasn't everyone been complaining about "bad improvement suggestions" because it'll take precious time out of devs' limited work hours? It's the same thing as "take out the ability to put drivers in"... It's already coded, why take out something that took a while to code? It's going in reverse direction. We have to realize that this ISN'T reality. It's a game. If it was an ultimate simulator we'd all be sweaty and damned tired after every race, and we would have no money in a few weeks from racing. Some things are just better to have than to not have. Horns are not so important, and almost no racer uses it. Does that justify taking the time to take it out of the game? I certainly don't think so. After it's taken out there will be a new group of racers asking for it back! You never know what you had until its taken from you - or something like that. Maybe you're just taking the horn for grantite. It's useful for cruisers and.. drifters i guess? If they're too sideways maybe they beep?


I probably made no sense; i'm incredibly tired.

+1.

There's far more important things to be fixed before something like this should even be considered by the devs.

Personally, I'd say just leave them in. They're not doing anyone any harm, and it's not like leaving the horn code in the GTRs will make them any slower...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I remember back on the Sega (I believe) there was a racing game. I have no idea what it was called, but I remember you had to pick a team, and then finish above position x to advance. I was really young at the time, but the one thing I vividly remember is that when you'd finish a race, there'd be a little man waving a flag.

I'd drive at him full speed, and he'd go flying (while stood upright, still waving his flag) into the sky.

Made me laugh so hard xD

That was Super Monaco GP2.

I used to do the very same thing!

Quote from Billeh :Think i might get myself a copy of this Used to play about with Rebirth and i have started using virtual dj aswell just need to buy myself one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HERCULES ... ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and see if i can turn myself into Eddie Halliwell

I use VDJ (along with a timecode CD system and 2 CDJ1000's).

Personally, if I had to start again, I'd opt for a separate, traditional mixer and a non-mixer based hardware controller. Or 2.

VDJ used to offer one themselves that looked fantastic. Not sure if they still have a partnership with the company that made them.

Not saying the Hercules isn't good, you might adore it. Just wasn't solid enough for me, and it felt like a toy. But maybe that's because I've been mixing for years now and I'm used to a proper mixer.

Anyway, back OT, nice ambient tunes Should really finish projects I have going. "Everything But The Girl - Missing" techtrance remix is gagging to be completed.

Luckily, I've not had that many blue flag spammers behind me.

When I do though, they just get my "STFU, I know what the blue flag means. Pass me when safe" bind back at them.

Only once mind. No spamming from me

Quote from Dajmin :It's not likely to get a PC release either. The control method means they'd need to either take advantage of the limited number of PC owners with a dual analogue pad or they'd have to totally rewrite it for mouse/keyboard.

I've stuck in some bids for copies on eBay but I don't think I'm likely to get it for £4 I'll grab it right away some point next week after I've been paid

More people have PC controllers with dual analogue sticks on them then you'd think.

People have them for playing emulators, or stuff like Pro Evo.

And as the 360 controller works on a PC, even more people with access to a PC with a gamepad.

More console based games, especially 360 ones, should be ported to PC. Just not as bad as the failure that was the port of TDU...

Not nice to hear about people dying.

Never liked his cars though. "Boydsters" all look the same.

Quote from lizardfolk :Did Jason Jarrett or Justin Labonte participate in touring car series aside from ARCA and NASCAR?

I was a bit confused with the name.

Just got their names on the front for the marketing, I think.

TOCA World Touring Cars. That's what Gamespot came up with for it.

Fun game. Not as good as TOCA 2 because WTC had no BTCC, but still fun.

Quote from Gekkibi :In other words, beat-mixing.

A bass-swap is one of the practices in beatmixing, yes. But this thread is about sorting out gaps in a ripped CDs playback, or putting them all into one track.

When not ripped as one whole track like in the method I posted above, your mp3 player, even if it claims it does seemless playback, will pause for a few ms, which as I said before, you don't want right after a bass-swap as it interferes with the "flow".

Imagine pressing Play/Pause twice quickly on your CDJ right after you've done a bass-swap, it'll sound funny. Your player is doing pretty much exactly the same as it decompresses the first part of the mp3.

I've seen a few Winamp pluggies in my time that have tried to decompress the first bit of the next tune, but they've all been really, really rubbish.

And Pioneer DJS is far better when you use a traditional mixer as an output and a DJ hardware controller to control the software

Another spliff, then bed.

Night!

Quote from Bob Smith :I thought modern media players supported gapless playback anyway? So if the music has no silence at the beginning/end of each track, you don't need to do anything to the files.

Some do. Sorta.

Seemless is never seemless. Winamp got close with its try, but there's still a tiny gap.

Annoying on a rip of a dance CD as the track usually starts on a bass-swap, right where you don't want a few MS of silence.

Quote from Gekkibi :Buy mixer and two cd-players and you can start mixing those songs together. :P

I recommend DJM-600 mixer and CDJ-1000mk3 cd-players.

Love my CDJ 1000 mk1's

OK, anyway, back OT.

Easy way is if they're MP3'd, decompress them to .wav using something like Winamp's Disk Writer plugin. Then in your sound editor (I'd recommend Wavelab for putting split mixes back together), load up track 1, and go to the very end of it. Then simply insert the track 2 .wav at the end, and continue.

If they're still on CDs, use Audiograbber. Go to the very last track, right-click and go to Track Properties. Where it says "Sectors", copy the value in "Last" and close that window.

Then right click the tracks, choose ""Select None", then recheck the tickbox for Track 1. Right click Track 1, go to Track Properties, and replace the value in "Sector" > "Last" with the value you copied from the final track.

OK it, then rip. Simple.

I'd say touring cars, but not the Aussie V8 ones.

ETCC/WTCC/BTCC sorta thing. FXO in FWD racing form would be superb.

Quote from troy :thats not exactly correct, of course they still belong to somebody but you can legally have them on your harddisk as long they are recordings of the radio, same thing like the tv tapes, your allowed to make recordings for your own pleasure but as soon you start selling (uploading in case of the sets) you will (can) be in trouble. at least the law is like that here in switzerland, coud be different in britain of course.

It's a rough area.
