if you like I can make one of my one but will not change anything cause it's totaly new
a good thing on this one is that you have 4 handles, up/down shift and than 2 axis for left and right view (never tested it but I think it should work)

Hi,

has anybody interest for a new Thrustmaster Rally GT PRO Force Feedback PRO with 3 pedals?

I actually do work from the office not just play games , so need the office chair for working

make a second one. just a wood'n plate and you fix the whole seat on it so you can still change the position like in the car. at the front you do something to fix the wheel and pedals and just before the wheel something to put the screen on

I work for a company who do car seats and they have for exhibition something like this and its really nice wood. I was just thinking how great it would be if they throw it away and I could get it

and when you can get automatic one you can do some change on it and connect the motors in it with the FFB so u get a bit vibration on your seat

and if not dont bring the box back

Quote from keiran :

Well considering he made this out of some MDF at probably little cost... A race seat would cost probably £200+ from some of the prices I've seen.

What? You go to a old car storage and look for a still good car seat, you buy it for mybe 20-30€. You put the seat on a plate (wood, metal) and something for the wheel. It's a bit work but all together it will not cost more than 100€ I would say.

you guys doing a great work, but why the heck not using a real car seat?

Quote from benja-man :

Thanks for the input guys!

I'll try to join the limited servers first and get some laps in before trying which 'mixed' server really is mixed!

Is there any drivers club / dedicated server around that just runs a specific car/track-combo every week with a pre-planned schedule? That would be great for diversity!

Cheers

i added to my initial post today: The car behind you has no time for getting into your slipstream, and pass you in the straight.

But he can pass after the corner, what is the problem to wait this corner? Like Gunn saidm it's not that other cars have to jump away. Of course the lapped car should not be damn slow.

Quote from Gunn :

It takes just a quick moment to travel 50 metres. Moving off your line at that point would be insane. The blue flag does not give the lapping car right of way as soon as they are in an overtaking position. Both cars need to use some common sense. Negotiating backmarkers is a part of racing. To expect people to jump out of your way on command is just wrong. To expect to not have your possible PB interupted is just naive. The blue flag does not mean "clear the track, here I come!".

For backmarkers about to be lapped: if you think you should fight with the lapping car you then are on another planet entirely. You would be disqualified in real life. If you think he should work his way past you without you yielding to him then you are out of your mind. You would be disqualified in real life.

Both parties will often have to make a small compromise and that is the reality of it, it is sometimes unavoidable. The car being lapped should make no sudden or unpredictable moves (especially if the lapping car is close to you) and should simply allow the lapper to overtake at the earliest sensible opportunity. Yes, you must allow him/her to go through. If you join mid-race then you aren't even in the contest in the first place, don't fight.

I use often the slipstream oft those cars to get some extra speed so I don't like when they move.
What I did experience is that the best it is when they all keep the line and I know already what to do.
Anyway, the blue flag car has either not much experience and will make something wrong or the other driver is doing a race and fighting for a postition so he should not slow down for me. If I'm faster I will bring myself in posotion that I can catch him before or after the staight.
Racing is not thaaaaaat hard so don't make a science out of it.

robgo:
the most drivers who get lapped havn't much experience, this means the react mostly not right or misjudge the situation and cause an eccident. Therefore I say, just keep the line, go your normal speed and I will do what is needed. They might go a bit to the outside of the corner so that I can pass them inside. Thats all.

PS: 6 meters aren't much with 250km/h

when u get a blue flag and u leave the ideal line u do cause more problems than keeping the line. a lot of noobs do that and it's so dangeres. the driver who is overtaking is good enough to handle the situation right with changing line. when u catch up to a "blue flag guy" you prepare yourself to overtake him, when he now changes line and this maybe just in front of you, it will spoil more when anything else.

BTW I watched yesterday a race on the CD server and there was a driver from the CD team spamming way behind the car "BLUE FLAG"

For me ZT got right now the best skin

I have my Momo now about 2 month and I'm quite disappointed. After 3 month it is making a lot of platic noise while turning the wheel. To get the wheel right clibrated is not always easy and sometimes it takes a while. The break pedal is in the moment my big problem cause from time to time during the race it get's not back to 0. I do have all the little programm installed.

This wasn't the best experience and I'm going to exchange it. Hopfully the next will be better (not Momo).

Why would you want to join MG illepall only joking

for somebody who is racing for clownpoint quite brave

Thx very much and I hope we will have lot's of fun on track

let's roll

Since U30 LFS is faltering during SKIN download and sometimes when somebody does join session.

No Lotesdelere, this is not so good because you would maybe make it to the start. The only thing what is stupid is that if somebody does leave or enter the server that every vote get's canceled. This should be switched off.

you break to late, you will push the time like this but you never will.
break early and try to give a bit throttle while turning into the corner. also very good is while still breaking to give a bit throttle, like this you keep the FZR more stable

so it should be more expensive
