Does this look realistic? No......but you can do it.......

Anyway, I give up on that and I think an option for a free movement of the map would be much better.
Maybe a mod can change the title

Thats a pretty low mirror. Havn't seen a car with a mirror that low.

This is the suggestion thread and I have a suggestion to make things better and more fun to race. So an answer "thats just life" is pretty stupid...

map on left side would cover the messages
in the FXR you can move the mirror more to the left but not like in the FZR cause there it would cover a bit of your view

so actually things I really would love to have:

1. possibility to move mirror more up
2. moving the map free over the whole screen

The problem is this one like in the picture. And there is even space to the roof for the mirror.
Maybe it would be even better an option to move the map over the whole screen
The map could be in the area of the glove compartment.

right now you can move the mirror almost all over the sceen but not higher. First of all is there still space to the rof in some cars, so it would not be unrealistic. Then you have the virtual mirror. Actually you dont need the virtual mirror if you could move the rel one all over the screen.
And the main thing bothering me is that when I have the map on the ride side, it does cover my mirror and I cant see what's going on behind me.

Quote from Hammerdown :

I didn't make it clear. You would also have to be able to adjust them so you could see people alongside, making up for the lack of peripheral vision afforded by a narrow FOV.

I agree. A adjustment like in a real car (mirror angle) so that you can turn them more to the outside so that you will see other stuff as in the middle mirror

Get first S2 and drive with a pad or mouse. I started like this and it's quit OK and you can enjoy already the LFS scene.
To drive with anything else as a wheel doen't mean you are gone be slow. Just yesterday I raced against a guy with a mous and he was kicking my damn ass and when you look at some racers on the DC server, they are fast and drive with mouse or keyboard.

Get S2

I didn't find anything about it yet.

The windscreen mirror should be more flexible. The main thing is that it is not possible to move the mirror up the te top of the screen. So instead of switching on the virtual mirror and still having the real mirror but in black on the screen, why not making it possible to move the "mirror offset vertical" into "minus" so that we can place the real mirror where the virtual is placed or somewehere else.

Change of the topic to a free option to move the map all over the screen!

BUG: I don't know if it was said already but the cars in the map are very bad to see when the map is at the right side cause of the blue sky and the yellow and green markers.

The option to move the mirror is in Y at 0 and that means the mirror is not at the top of the screen. I don't like to use virtuall cause then I have two there. Just a little change that I can move the mirror up to the top would be great.

The only GT Cup with H-Shifter I know is the Porsche GT3 Cup

yes FXR sequential

its like a clio race version

GTR cars in real use today mostly sequential

Quote from BlackSheep720 :

s2 racers = racers
demo racers = drifters

ironic, eh? i'd say that at least 80-85% of demo racers dedicate their time to drifting. i personally hate drifting, a childish and barbaric pastime

:bananalla:bananalla:bananalla Oh no! Here come the flaming banana warriors, astride their green blob animals!

i think you tried to drift but you didn't get it handled......

i don't drift but my opinion is, to really drift good is hard work and maybe even harder as racing. i would call it kinda art
those who can really good drift have my full respect

200-220 € is a totally reasonable price for that kinda quality you get for. The racing feeling is way better as with the Momo for example.
I'm so happy I got it

Quote from shi shi bog :

I have heard nothing but great respones about this wheel. I just wanna make sure i get my moneys worth.

How does it feel compared towards a real car(i know it won't be exactly the same)? Can you change the feel Heavy/Light steering. What's the problem with the shifter?

Sorry if i'm being annoying........but 57 pages! I'm decieding wether i should buy the wheel or save up for an LCD TV 32"-40".

Thanks

There is nothing like this out there. Exact steering with no play. Feels just great. And the H-Shifting with the clutch is just awesome

Quote from sidi :

If your not that comfortable in taking it apart it's maybe best not to.

The spring i used was length=18.40mm,wire diameter=0.93mm,outside diameter=10.50mm

I have never experienced the sensitive sequential problem as i have mine in a more natural position,i was thinking it maybe be a problem for ppl who have to stretch.

As you can see my woodworking skills are -0 but you get the idea

lol, looks great

I have to do something with it cause sometimes when I shift down and I let the shifter go it does shift up again while swinging back to neutral.

But you are sure that it will fix the problem?

Quote from axus :

Nice patch, thanks.



I have to agree with this...
I was just on a server, with 22 cars or so. With 5 on screen, my PC really struggled. I got in the order of 25-35 FPS. This is a 3.0GHz P4 64bit, 512MB RAM, 6600GT 128MB graphics card. Without AA and AF, at my LCD's native res (1280x1024), with LODs set to about mid way between the minimum and the maximum, compressed skins and even half size textures. I'm starting to think there's something wrong, but I've got the latest drivers, my graphics card can't be underpowered (500W PSU) and nothing apart from MSN was running in the background.

I think your problem is somewhere else. I have just a Notebook with a 64MB Ram graphic card and the CPU is a 1.6 MHz. It's true that during the start the FPS goes down to 20-30 but this was the same with 20 cars. Then I have no problems during the start with those 20-30 FPS. During the race it goes up to 60-80 FPS.

Great patch and awesome for the leagues with long tracks

Since I read and write a lot in english, my german is now really crapy and I forget to place capitals. Others think now I'm stupid

To the many commas. When I read English books or articles I see many commas there and I would say that there as many as in German. It's more a thing how people use them in daily live and how it should be, concerning the English grammar.

OMG

I don't believe it

What does happen when you go in LFS?

Deinstall it and install it again.
Restart the computer.
Try it with another computer.

Quote from sidi :

I have afew springs somewhere but atm i just can't find them,give me a day or two and i'll sort you out with the measurments.


The only thing i can think of is the connector for the push down micro switch,but for what you want to do i don't think you will have to take that off.

Some pic's here to help you take it apart http://s135.photobucket.com/albums/q140/sidi80/

Great, thanks.
Looks like a lot of work to change the spring

Quote from Maelstrom :

But do we want an odometer that would record the distance realistically by using the number of turn realized by the wheel or do we want an accurate calculation of the distance we drove?
I tend to prefer the second one but …

Quote from sidi :

Use a stiffer spring.

[ATTACH]29172[/ATTACH]

OK, Thanks.
Means I have to open and might lose warranty. But at least it's an easy thing to get rid of

Do you remember by any chance the measurement of the spring (so that I can firt get it and then open it)?

Anything importend while opening it?
