Thanx for the advice i ran 1.41 today still short by 6 seconds.

Could anyone tell me why sometimes when i crash the car just stops working?.

A read circle light is on the car.

Im new too, and i want to keep up with the people who are at the front the people in the top 5 of the race. Can anyone help with improving lap times to a 1:35, thats the time i regularly see when people are in the top 5 of the race.

On the blackwood map after that long straight theres that bend. Do you guys harsh break at top speed then turn into the bend or soft break b4 the bend.

A lil advice would b helpful.

FF is... Annoying *shrug* have it turned off ^^, driving FBM with slick settings requires rather sensitive maneuvers and the FF makes it more difficult to perform those maneuvers :P

With out force feedback it feels way too lose, doesnt even feel like your connected to the car.

Quote from SparkyDave :

No I normally have it somewhere between 30 and 60 % ingame.

ok il give that a try.

Quote from SparkyDave :

In LFS you can use the < and > keys (,.) ingame to change the FF on the fly, this only changes the power of the overall force, for the most realistic feeling the settings most have suggested are about right (I use 108% force and all other sliders at 0 centering spring enabled but set to 0)

When you actually drive the car, depending on how its setup, will effect what you feel ( camber and toe etc), different cars also give different feedback (fwd/rwd) your wheel might not center until you drive along (like a real car)

Also remember to calibrate the wheel and pedals inside LFS (options/controllers/"axis/ff", click recalibrate move all axis fully at least once, then click lock.

Good luck.
EDIT: Check your "wheel turn compensation" sliders setting it has a huge impact on how the wheel behaves near the center position.

What is your force feedback ingame set at 100%?

Quote from carey :

Is this what you want http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5JjdKeThoA

Yup that is exactly what i want but it doesnt have to centre that fast, is this not possible. Damn i thought the G25 could do anything.

Quote from morpha :

100% or 101%, depending on the Profiler version (older versions have a bug resulting in non-linear feedback at 100%), everything else 0.
Ingame whatever feels best to you, I use 100%.

I tried this setting and its resistance it really strong, is yours like that too. Im sure a real car is not like that.

Thanx for your replies, could i ask what is each of your settings and does it resemble close to a real car as possible. Or are there any settings that could be close to a real car.

Thanx agen

Hi everybody, i have a G25 and i would like to ask how would i get my wheel to turn smoothly around corners and bends with little to no resistence but when i let go of the wheel it centres itself back again. Ive tried various settings that people have suggested e.g.

105% Overall force
0 Damper
0 Spring

0 Centering spring

but the wheel does not centre.


105% Overall force
0 Damper
0 Spring

40% Centering spring

the wheel does centre with this setting but it does so very slowly and there is slight resistence when i turn.

I would like it to centre at a quicker pace but with no resistence when i turn the wheel.

Quote from G!NhO :

Just press down the shifter and then turn the knob.

Also if you use H gate, press down the shifter and put it in 6th, that actually is the 7th gear or reverse.

Hey thanx for that lool was thinking mine was broken or something.. =) .. Still need to get use to slowing my car down and shifting down..

I have a problem or i assume it is, when i turn that knob looking thing so i can do sequential or H shifter i cant turn it all the way so i can use up and down. Although i probably wont use the up and down but i would like the option too. When i turn it about half way anti clockwise it just stops. Any1 else getting this?

Just recieved my G25 this morning took about 3 working days to get here. The wheel feels good, alot of people have mentioned about the gear stick being clicky. Mine seems to not have a clicky sound when a gear change, but i can see why alot have mentioned that the gear stick feels plasticky and cheap. The box also came with rfactor CD but i can assume its just a demo and you still need to buy a activation code.

Just bought it, ino i shudnt have since i just recently bought a driving force GT. Damn i spend 2 much but this offer was just too tempting, always wanted to know what a G25 feels like. Hope its well worth it.

Oh btw i just used the voucher moments ago like 5mins or so and it worked. Hope it works 4 u lot too

Quote from Flame CZE :

Here's my 2 laps drifting replay. I know it isn't so good but I don't have a drift setup for XRG. I hope it'll help a bit. I prefer watching the 2nd lap.

Edit: oh, now I doubt you'll run the replay because demo racer's can't use BL1R, sorry then Wait for the next replays from others.

Damn was getting ready to watch it.

Any good drifts replays with the XRG out there?

I had that problem too, is the set up for the right car.

Thanx for the tips would u recommend any sites of videos from players that i can learn from have been looking but no success.

Heres my attempt too, tips would b nice. =)

Ah ok thanx, erm apart from the online is there any single player aspects to these games e.g earning money and buying cars or any story interactions. Thanx

Ive been skimming through this forum a bit, and have tried both demos out and prefer the feel of lfs more but i would like to know which game has more users online and well a better online experience?. That is key in which game i am going to purchase. Thanx

or any other wheel that has up and down gear. Do you guys have gear up as forward and gear down as backwards or the other way around.

Since on the wheel gear up seems backwards and gear down is upwards.

Quote from KevinJD :

Trying look at these websites too..

Taking Corners #1
Taking Corners #2

Wow thanx for that site and those images. Very helpful.

Quote from KevinJD :

Hey there lilsold, on the "u turns" which are called harpin corners i belive, you break in a straight line, then change down to 2nd gear then you take your foot of the accelator and then turn then slowly and smoothly apply throttle

Hope this helps

KJD.

Thanx for this, il try this.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Does the car rev up?
