Quote from Shotglass :

hmmm ill try to be more specific

a) heading pitch and roll are radians ... ok but from which axis are they counted from (ie where does a vector with 0 h/p/r point to) and in which direction are they counted
b) is nites pic of the forward and right vecors correct and whats the lenght of those vectors ?

a) center of gravity of the car pointing through the middle of the hood... and at a straight angle of that to the right, and the third axis goes from the COG straight through the roof towards the heavens. All of them are fixed on the car, not the world. <-- that's in fact the force vectors... Heading pitch and roll relative to the cars 0 (stationary) point should be derived from that, I suppose.

b) As far as I can tell now, yes, or something really much like it... I have yet to do some testing. The length of the vectors is just what we need to find out to get useful information. See it like the vector points from the lower left point of a box to the upper right corner of the same box... If you know the size of the sides of each face of the box, you can draw up a triangle that precisely cuts the entire box in half, and calculate it's longest edge's length (which would be the length of the vector).

Say: X, Y, and Z are 1, 3, 5 respectively... That would mean that you can get the length of the vector A (which points to X, Y)... Knowing that one you'd be able to get the XYZ vector (which is simply the length of the final unknown length of the 0 -> X,Y -> Z triangle, which is Z -> 0)...

Yeah, I'm not a math teacher for a very good reason... Does this make any sense?




@ Victor:
Thanks... Not sure what it means yet, but I'll get it sometime real soon.

Quote from Tweaker :

NOPE!

just kidding Next track!

I'm at work and can't look for pictures of tracks here... So it'll have to come from someone else for now.

Quote from Modoff :

ok i got it the Pescara grand prix.

Yessir...

Quote from Modoff :

yep i didnt think anyone would get mid ohio cus its such a bad picture. but yea there all right

NO i have no clue. The straights seem really long for a street course

Mid-Ohio is one of my favorite tracks, so I knew the layout

BTW, I know which track that is Tweak, but I had to look through all Italian tracks to find this one since I'd never heard of it before...

Well, I shouldn't be the one that gets all of them, should I? (which is a good excuse for not saying "no")

Quote from Tweaker :

1) Daytona?
2) Indianapollis
3) That track in Canada for F1 season :P
4) ----
5) ----
6) That track for Champ Cars n' stuff :P
7) ----

1) Daytona yes
2) Indianapolis yes
3) Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Ile de Notre Dame, Montreal.
4) Road America (Elkhardt Lake)
5) Long Beach
6) Burke Lakefront Airport (Cleveland)
7) Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course

The problem is neither winAmp nor ITunes...
The problem is indeed (as mentioned) the power management working on the harddrive... It's a common problem, and can only be (partially) fixed by turning off ALL power management in both Windows and the BIOS. If it doesn't work then, all you can do is copy the music back to the internal drive.

Quote from TaiFong :

If I get blue flagged, I usually stick my middle finger in the air and start weaving around the track like an **** while spewing profanity. Even though no one can see my middle finger or hear my caustic curses, it makes me feel like a real man inside.



Don't mind me...

You should bind F1 to the message "..i.,"... That way they can see your middle finger

Quote from Sheepy1977 :

USE LOCAL IP ADDRESS IN CFG FILE,NOT USE WAN IP.
Dedicated host get online and can be connected from internet. that is all.

Uhmmm... Yeah... Your PC doesn't know the WAN IP, so it won't be able to bind a port to it.

Thanks for thanks, but I didn't do anything. Good job on figuring it out yourself though... See you on the track, m8

Quote from avih :

Nice Tristan

Minor thing bothered me though, it might be an optical ilusion, but isn't the front wing installed with a negative (?) angel?? it seems as it lifts the car rather than produce downforce...

Cheers for the new toy

That was done on purpose... This has the same effect as the so-called "high-nose bug". The downforce it still generates pushes the car forward.

To get the wing to produce lift it would have to have a much higher AoA (Angle of Attack)... So much that the air doesn't stick to the topside of the wing, which doesn't seem the case here. (in airplanes, if this happens the wings would stall, and it would come down like a ton of bricks)

Very nice pics Tristan, and it sounds like you had a blast... Would love to see a comparison with LFS for some of the dodgier parts of the sim (like indeed the high-nose problem, and the losing and gaining grip tire physics).

Are you old enough to get drunk? Then you're too old to talk like that... If you're young enough to talk like that, you're too young to get drunk...
Either way, you're in trouble mister!

Seriously answering the TS now:
No, it cannot be done, may not be done, and will not be done by anyone here until the devs give the green light...
Merry Christmas, though.

Quote from Sheepy1977 :

Hi guys! I am back again with a good news and a bad news.

Good news is that a no-dedicated host which was set by me in "normal" way finnally get online,and ppl can connect to it via internet.

Bad news is that the dedicated server still cant get online.

I dont know why this happened..

Alright... If you want me to have a look, post all the network settings on the dedicated server machine, and tell me exactly what kind of virtual network software you're running... Also include the configuration info from your router (make sure you delete any passwords from that, please).
I may not know much, but there hasn't been a network setup I've been unable to get to work (except my own at home, of course, but that's because I'm lazy).

PS: Maybe a good idea to change the IP addresses from what you use to something else too when you post them here... Never trust anybody on the internet.

Quote from zulater :

never thought of that that would be my problem.
thanks a bunch

I never thought that would be mine either, until I installed frikking Madden NFL 2006 (which doesn't work on 2 screen at all, just crashes), and all of a sudden I did have my 1600x1200 back... I started thinking after that

Quote from Fonnybone :

What you want is a salt lake !

Yes. But without the actual lake... So a former salt lake

Actually that's a GREAT idea... Just a HUGE slab of white asphalt to mimic salt, 4 objects on each side for boundaries, and 65532 placeable objects for Autocross heaven! (first one to use all the objects in a functional manner wins a free S3 voucher)

Quote from tristancliffe :

Of course! Digi cam on charge as we speak! Might even make my own thread for it!

LOL... You've done almost 1800 posts... 17 of them are new threads. That's a little under 1%... I think you're allowed to make your own thread, mate

Again... Merry Christmas, and have fun.

Hmmm... I'd have to read up to be sure, but an fdisk /mbr should work... (it repairs the master boot record with the one XP knows.

Quote from faster111 :

is that marks bit reffering to me?

Are you messing with us or are you really from a place that makes the censor on this forum frown?

Quote from tristancliffe :

Merry Christmas (in 3 hours 29 minutes or thereabouts).

Got my Xmas day plans pretty much sorted. The Reynard is ready (though by no means perfect - we could spend years improving bits here and there without ruining originality). Brakes overhauled and bled, suspension and brake bolts lockwired. Fuel, Oil and water checked. Tyres pressures set (22.5 psi front, 21.5 psi rear). Foam seat made (burns on arse to prove it, it's a very exothermal reaction). Instuments labeled. It's ready to rock and roll.
Have permission to take it to Old Buckenham airfield tomorrow (although just checking for final confirmation of that permission), and drive it on the runway and taxiways.
The 'Christmas Dinner in the motorhome' idea has been canned, simply because it only seats 4 at the table, and the fridge is _just_ too small to fit all the food in.

Can't wait. Could well be the best Christmas day for many years for me.

Hope Santa brings you that nice digital cam so you can take lots of pictures for us... Have loads of fun, Tristan.

Nice vid Vendetta... I've been thinking up videos myself, but can't be bothered to do them, because I want them to be perfect... Which is never gonna work

Zalig kerstmis... Merry Christmas...
And may Saint Nicolaus bring you all that you desire (Except for peeps in Holland and Belgium, because he's already been here december 5th and 6th).

Are you still using the dual monitor setup? Because if you set the Nvidia drivers to Horizontal span, you indeed do not get the 1600x1200 option...
If you turn it to DualView (which allows you 2 monitors and stuff, but not as one large canvas) you DO get 1600x1200.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

"Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do" is a good one

That one, and "Keep Hope Alive" are the ultimate 150+mph tracks, yes.

Nice keyboard, but I'll wait for the Optimus one...
Seems just a little more 1337

Quote from MrNase :

Well, I should haved choosed another smilie

From what I can see there are 2 drag strips - both of the same length.
What's the point of that?

Even without 'cheating' (Iam racing offline online) some races are so close that a longer distance would be much more fun

Ah... But do you want a bigger braking area, or do you want a longer strip to the finish?

I don't see the need for a bigger braking area, because it's long enough... But I can see a use for a longer drag.
