I moved the brake bias towards the back a bit more and it definitely helped. Thanks a lot guys!

Quote from AMA_King :

ddast - curious about:
- what resolution you run LFS
- what CPU
- video card
- FPS

I run LFS at 1920x1080 on a Core 2 Duo E6600 o/c to 3.01GHz with 2 gig of RAM and an 8800GTX. I have all graphics on max with 16xQ AA and 16x AF and get 59-60fps at all times.

Here is my setup: 40" Sony Bravia 1080p TV (KDL-40v3000) for LFS and a 24" Dell (2405FPW) for other PC stuff.

I've been working for SYE on a W960i app for the last 6 months (these views are all my own and I don't represent any company).

The user interface on the W960i can seem a bit strange, but after you get used to it, it's not too bad. There are some things you should definitely be taking advantage of, which other phones don't have:
- touch screen. As has been mentioned before, ScummVM is good on phones, but on a touchscreen phone I imagine it's truly awesome.
-8 gig storage. If you're on the train/bus/plane, it's great to watch movies on the phone as the screen can rotate and you can watch it in 4:3. You might have to re-encode the video to get it to play (from what I remember, H.263 at 320x240 and AAC audio is your best bet). With that amount of storage you're talking about tens of hours of movies as well as hundreds of hours of mp3s. The headphones that comes with the phone are excellent.
-apps. There are a huge number of applications out there for UIQ 3, but it really depends on what you want to do. Have a look on sites like handango.com for ideas about what can be done.
-the built in Opera web browser is pretty good and gets the job done. Along with wi-fi and/or a good data tariff you can check the LFS forums from pretty much wherever you are.

Whoops, sorry. I'm a bit new at this : )

See attached. The best demonstration of the problem is on lap 2.

I've attached a replay of the problem.

It's not my best lap by a long way but it shows the lock ups on three corners: the main problems are on the entrance to the first chicane after the start/finish straight and the entrance to the right-hander after the back straight. The locking only occurs for a fraction of a second each time, but it's enough to leave (small) skid marks on the track.

By the way, I tried blipping the accelerator when changing down. It did solve the problem for a while, but after six laps or so my clutch had worn out completely!

Hi guys, I had a look through previous posts but I couldn't see a solution (but apologies if it's been asked before).

I read Gentlefoot's driving tips and it says: "Many beginners do not down-change early enough when braking... In many cars you can down change at the same moment or even just before you hit the brakes."

I have tried changing down gears as early as possible, but invariably end up locking my wheels for a split second each time the gear changes. This forces me to delay changing down until the revs have reached a low enough level that the wheels don't lock. But by this time I'm already beginning to make the turn and it definitely seems late compared to other replays I've watched.

The car I'm trying to master is the XFG, and I get the problem after any long straight into a 2nd/3rd gear turn. I'm using the flappy-paddles on a G25, and I don't use the clutch to change gear - should I be?

I would be very grateful to receive tips on how I can change gear earlier without locking up, because I feel that I'm changing late enough that the balance of the car is affected during cornering.

Thanks in advance.

First post, and first skin : )

I'm not sure the zebra thing really works, but it was interesting trying! There are still a few rough edges.

C&C most welcome.
