did i get banned or is server down?

my optic mouse gos dusty underneath and caused me to crash

password?

Hey guys. The combo is really getting on my nerves. Seems i can only get low 42's at best. Anyone sitting on a set for this or could make one?

what program is used to display bestlines?

Quote from BenjiMC :

When i used to use the mouse i would rather have my brakes bias a bit further back than most sets. Another thing i used to do was only apply throttle in a straight line. If going around a corner where the throttle needs to be applied in moderate amounts, then apply it in spurts. Heres an example through the AS National hairpins and in T1, it's in the FZR but it's the same principle.

Thanks, how do i get the Throttle/Brake thingys that shows how much is applied? I drove 15 laps in a race jsut now actually, the tires cool down after a while, especially in the last part of the track. It warms up in the first part also, but not after the hairpin before the bridge.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

I Agree with the above post. Less Skidding in corners help you keep tires for longer and also in braking.
My rule is. the less the tires are hear able, the better...so if no sounds comes from the tires you know they hold up for longer.
If you skid much it doesnt..

Inferno set ups
Converted from X to Patch Y...

If using kb you might wanna try setting "styreutslag" to 15%.



Good race.

Wow, thanks a bunch. But what does 'skidding' mean?

Quote from csurdongulos :

not that much you can do with the FXO there, try to be more gentle with the throttle. But a general direction is to raise the tyre pressure and lower camber (more positive) on the front tyres. you should check your brakes as well so you do not lock them under braking.

I drive mouse + kb. Hard to "be gentle". I'll try the camber tip though.

Looking for a set for FXO at FBB for a 45 minute race or so. The one on teaminferno is quite old and not up to date with patch Y. Could anyone maybe help me with a set up for this combo? Main concern is tires, they are red with the Team Inferno setup when going into lap 3.

Anyone could help a poor racer out?

Yeh, more races like this. Please keep the TBO class also. I'd be up for it on next weekend.

give us lfs remote access!

try lfs remote

edit: i dont think its been added to LFS Remote, maybe sum1 will add it.

Yeah, how do i find the server? Doesn't show up in the list...

Can we spectate the race?

do we have to speak swedish?

You can sign up at www.liveforspeed.se in the forums. There is a thread for "Torsdagsrace" We usually have a couple of danes and we've had some other non-swedish people onboard. We are used to running through things in english too if needed that's my experience.

What car?

Also, how long are the races on thursday? One thing I notice when on that track is that my tires get hot quickly. If your doing 10+ laps you'll need to drop the pace a little to save your tires.

Oh sorry, It's the good old XFG

The tires are an issue of right now. But im not counting on laptimes under 1.20 the first ten laps because with the small track and 32 cars it will be PACKED to say the least.

Soo. for the first 10 laps it wont be an issue. Maybe they will start to wear after that and cool down?

35 laps or so.

Looked at the teaminferno setups, there were none. I have one currently but i was wondering if anyone could try and make one for me and possibly give som advice on turn ins, gears/when to shift and raceline. Any takers? I'm currently 1.800 behind World Record and counting on improving about 0.300 more before the race (Thursday)

Any kind souls who are familiar with the track and willing to give advice?

Quote from J@tko :

Sure - join up into the reserve list via the link in my sig

If you turn up - you'll get a race - only 17/38 turned up on Sunday.

Hope you can join us - you'd be very welcome.

Congrats on S2!

Are you going to weed out no-shows eventually? I know i'd like a permanent spot

What's the difference between hotlap qual and premier qual?

Why is there only Premier Quals for 4 tracks?

Quote from [DUcK] :

omg you're doing a FZ league with mouse... hehe
Well I can't exactly remember tire temps, but the insides where a little red, just try not to make it oversteer too much, though with mouse, I don't think any setup will save you! :o
Umm, I'm not sure how I was driving when I did the 1.56, but it definitely sucked as I said I've never driven around there with the fz5 so it was a little new to me...

With the gears, make the numbers smaller to make the gears longer eg. if 5th is at say 1.566, 1.512 would make the gear taller/longer, 1.600 would make the gear shorter.

Anyway good luck

It's a different combo every week in this league. ^^ Last week it was GTRs on Aston National.

Quote from [DUcK] :

well you can try this setup - its not great it took me about 5 minutes just then to build, i did 5 laps and it didnt seem to get too hot really.
Time weren't that great, but it was my first laps ever around there, it was doing high 1.56's with 50% of fuel.

I really advise against full tire pressure, because full tire pressure is alot in that car - road cars usually run about 32 - 36 psi... full psi on with this car is 58psi iirc.

The two top gears (5th and 6th) need to be longer - but I'm sure you can do that

Good luck!

EDIT: And yes, driving anti-spin is a very good idea If you minimize tire slippage (wheel spin, tire screeching) your tires will last alot longer.

Thanks alot, Were you driving anti-spin when you pulled 1.56?

How do i make the gears longer? Just increase the differentials of 5 and 6? What temp were your tires?

Also, i drive with mouse, so that's extra bad for the wheels.

Quote from [DUcK] :

Ok.. If the race is 28 laps - the tires should start to cool down, since there's alot of tire wear on that track, they will lose tread pretty quickly.
If you set your car up to get minimum wear it (and it still gets hot) it should start to cool down (the tires lose tread and therefore heat).

Have you tested the full 28 laps yet?
Try going the whole distance and don't worry about your tires - unless they get undrivable.

Nope i haven't done it yet. I usually dont drive a wholre pre-race. But the car tyres get red on lap 5, and doesnt seem to cool down, it doesnt seem either to increase alot above 100 degrees unless you spin. My strategy was to try to max tire pressure and see if it works or just drive with anti-spin to preserve tires even more.

28 laps, force pit. I need to drive under 2 min lap times to compete.

Ok, so i've got a race coming up in one week, and i cant get the tires to last for more then 5 laps at max. It's FZ5 at Kyoto National Rev. Try driving and see what i mean... Is the solution to just max out on the pressure, wont that have disadvantages aswell?
