Im sorry, but you have no place on a track right now. You are basically rushing to meet the Sept test date and you don't even know some of the most basic of driving maneuvers. You are a hazard. Thinking that a game is going to help you is not correct. LFS, as good as it is, doesnt simulate G forces, doesn't allow you to truely feel the car and its limits and there is the element of fear -- which is completely thrown out the window when playing a game.
Stop saying you can't find some piece of tarmac to go practice on, because you can if you really want to.
Again, based on everything that I've read in this thread... you are nowhere near ready to be on a track... and honestly, if an instructor does let you (*shudders*) is a complete tool and shouldn't be teaching
It really all just comes down to this... you are not mature enough to be driving a race car. End of story.
Park that Mini and come back to it when your older.
Jefferson Course is a great track once you get it down. If you don't even give it a chance, or give yourself a chance to learn it properly... of course it's going to suck.
I seem to remember a time where you begging for help in the Programming/Insim area, Sun..... and hmm... what were you trying to make??? Exactly what you are complaining about here...
im no javascript expert... but that looks like it would only show the correct page after 60 seconds... and after which it would not refresh.
setTimeout is usually used to delay execution on a particular part of a script rather than refreshing.
such as:
setTimeout(wait.hide(), 1500);
is a snip from a web page i made that has a 'Please Wait' overlay. That code hides it after 1.5 seconds.
no point in bashing those F5 keys just yet... it will be at least one hour or more before they start getting sent out. So don't rape your keyboard for at least a few more hours
lookin forward to tryin this out! The videos on YouTube and such can't do the graphics justice at all, the resolution of those videos are just...... terrible!
Totally agree.. Though, IMHO, I still think it feels a lot stiffer than the G**.... I had one. But that aside... everything else is great. Really like how you guys put the soft-touch plastic on the shifter... gives that unit a much higher quality look and feel.
AFAIK, its shipped via DHL... but it could be totally different in your case given your location. If you email Fanatec with your order number, they may be able to provide you with a tracking number for your wheel.
The wheel is made in china... but hmm.. Fanatec definitely doesn't have a webshop for China/HK... so it must be thru some 3rd-party...

I received my new wheel yesterday and im putting it thru the paces and seeing how retail wheel is in comparasion to the beta wheel..
My First impressions: The brake pedal is WAY too stiff! It feels like the brake pedal in a car with malfunctioning power brakes. You can try this out by getting into a modern car with the ignition off.. .pump the brakes a few times until the pedal becomes stiff and that is what its like.. maybe not quite that stiff.. but its close... It makes it almost impossible to brake smoothly. I've since replaced the compression spring with one that is much softer and it is much better now. The wheel centering issues are definitely gone and I must say I'm quite pleased about that. The extra steel plate added to the pedals gives that entire unit a much firmer feeling and you can really mash the pedals and the unit will not budge (providing you use the anti slip mats). Also nice to not hear that fan whizzing away quite as much now... slowing it down to half-speed was a good idea. Not sure if you guys made any changes to the shifter mount... but it seems like it is much more secure... at least in my wheel. It doesn't nearly flex or flop around as much as the beta wheel's mount did. So far, so good. I'm pleased only time can tell now as to how the durability measures up in comparasion.. i will keep you all updated on my opinions.
