Quote from boothy :Use the z28 .exe attached here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=70879 and you have 600bhp GT0 cars

Yeah, I know about that, but that's still a mod, and I don't think a mod will make it's way onto LFSW.

And not much use to you. Don't you think?

Weather too. But the main reason is night racing.

Quote from boothy :So what restrictions?

I'm guessing the devs would have to decide on that. Maybe even add a "thickbox" option in the garage to choose type of engine(GT1, GT2, GT3, whatever else would go)

Or, I'd really like to see some real GT1 cars first(specification wise). I'm thinking about LeMans GT1 "restrictions", like 1.200kg with 560bhp or 1.250kg with 600bhp. So then we could have the current GTR class as the GT2 class. They are certainly closer to GT2 class than to GT1 class.

If this happens, I see no obstacle in adding GT1/2/3 classes to LFSW. That is, if the classes are somehow predefined, and XRR with 50% intake restriction is still XRR not XRR GT7.

Quote from ACCAkut :edit: just saw how old this thread is, nvm ..

No no, no problem with that. Always open for suggestions.
I'm sure it will help me and also someone else if we keep the thread bump'd up all the time.

You mean ssh bruteforce?
Just change the port and you'll get rid of 95-99% of bruteforce attacks.

And it's not a ddos attack. The purpose of it is to bring a machine of the network, not get access to the system by trying gazillion password and username combinations.

Or if you're blocking of subnets, you could also block of by specific ports. Make a new chain in iptables i.e. DROPBRUTEFORCE, add all ports that you want blocked in that chain and then -j DROPBRUTEFORCE on all of those subnets that you now just droped or rejected. Or even easier accept connections to ports that LFS uses before droping/rejecting the subnets.

Quote from Bmxtwins :Thomas go get yourself a nice G27 .

I've been looking at a Fanatec actually.

Yes, he is exiting at higher speeds, but only 0,5-2km/h max. Except the last chicane. I messed that one up badly on that hotlap run
But he does carry alot more speed throughout that corner than me. And after messing up the right-left uphill sweep somehow resulted in a 1 second slower first sector. Which kinda makes sense now, and at the end messing up that chicane that much makes perfect sense that I was slower almost 3 seconds in that run.

But still, I need a new wheel now. I can't drive without noticing how my wheel is flicking.

Yeah, I know I'm going to have to buy a new one, I've been planing on doing so for a month no, I guess it's time to stop planning and start acting.
Thanks for the help.

Oh just some no-name crap, even forgot the manufacturer. And I've been abusing it for quite some years now on different games.

I can't set them to be separate, although after I had some problems with the pedals and took them apart and there was this small little "thingy" between the peddals with two wires atached to it + 1 more pin without a cable attached to it(never was attached), but there was one more cable inside the pedal assembly never attached, so I was thinking if maybe I would attach this one too, I might be able to move each pedal separately? (I'll take a picture of what I mean later)

The wheel isn't moving when I'm not moving it, at least not when it's at center. But as soon as I turn the wheel slightly(i.e. for the first slight right corner after the start/finish on AS3) it moves for quite a longer way and the jumps back to where it should be and then a little more etc. When the wheel is turned it never stays in one spot, it allways moves even if I hold it very still. Sometimes the jump of the wheel is so great it even slides the car a little if the set is very oversteery, barely noticable tho. I haven't noticed this until I've inspected my hot laps.
Too much wheel movement - slower times?

Ohaider.

I've just just inspected one of my uploaded hot laps(AS3 XRR) and I'm almost 3 seconds of the WR, and what I've saw has baffled me.
Driving line is almost the same as the WR holder, throttle and brake movement are also almost the same.
But when I inspect the speeds we take into the corners mine drop quite more than his. I.e. in the first corner of AS3 his speed drops to around 175km/h while mine drops off to 160km/h, but how? We brake almost at the same point and stay on the brakes for almost the same time and then we're back on the throttle again. Although one thing that I can't do is trail-brake, because my brake and throttle axis are combined. Are those small offsets in braking duration(and/or power) and throttle movement enough for such large gap in time at the end?
Another thing I noticed, my wheel input is just so "nervous" even on the front straight it's allways "zig-zag", and I know I'm not doing that with the well, I only input small wheel turn for the small bends on the straight. I have the wheel input compensation(or something) set to 1.0, if I set it to 0.0 it almost becomes undrivable. Can this also impact the times?
Is it really time to buy me a new wheel?

Quote from tibone :@xfirestorm - I can look at the PBs stored there, no need to be hotlap uploads. My idea is to make an avarage time and balance it by it. Suggestion on combos is accepted.

Even those can be deleted and then you go online and drive a couple of slow laps and there you go.
So if you would do it this way, you would also have to control race times. If someone drives a too fast lap during the race he/she should be disqualified then.

Quote from Eclipsed :I have no clue,am I slow enough for this... But surely I'm not fast either... So,how you gonna decide who's allowed to race in this?

What I'd do,
take the times of all participants for a given combination and calculate an average time from all competitors and then calculate let's say 95% of that average time. Who's faster than that isn't allowed to race.

But the problem is, if someone doesn't have the hotlap uploaded for a combo. I.e. I don't have many hotlaps uploaded to LFS World, because I don't do hot laps out of one reason. I'm too slow.

I don't get the KY6 layout. Wont there be a problem in the Oval KY2/KY3 section where the paths cross?
Otherwise I love KY4, and any AS layout that includes the up/downhill chicane. Although I prefer to go downhill on that chicane.

You right click on the camera object and then you can move it around/rotate it just like any other object.

@jnr89: If you're doing a 1:35x on blackwood with the stock setup, you're on the good way.
Heel and toe are a bit overrated in such situations, sure it will help you shave of some time, but there is still room for improvement elsewhere.
I still remember while being a Demo (ab)user I was stuck on 1:34:4x for ages, couldn't beat it, tried hundreds of setups from my friends etc. none actually helped me improve my time, while just one afternoon was driving offline for the jokes, and I went 1:33x.

What I'm trying to say, the setup isn't everything(ok, specific setups are better than stock setups for any track), so this doesn't make it a setup vs setup race. You still need a huge amount of skill to be able to compete for the top spots in the race, a skill that I still lack.

Quote from Fordman :its stupidly expensive to ship out of UK.


Why so? I've been ordering gear from USofA, China and UK and never had high shipping costs.
And I've been ordering stuff for airsoft, so it isn't really that lightweight either. The other part that really hit me when doing so was our stupid tax law.

Just wondering, no offense.

Hi James.

Quote :-dedicated and mandatory IRC chat channel, I think these 2 are a must.

I can help you with that. Just need to know if you'd like a web-client access to the channel or not.

Quote from dadge :do a google search to the setup field. there you will be able to download quite a few setups for most track and cars. you can even download them all as a pack.

^that. And then modify the setup to your driving style if you need to.

Quote from BlueFlame :I had it set to 50% my right front was red, about to blow and the pitcrew didn't change it lol

Yeah, that's kinda normal. Because it's overheated, not 50% worn. :P
So if you would not push it a few laps and let the tyre cool down, you could still do many laps with it. Judging that it has not yet been even worn by 50%.
