hi, been racing this one since first demo days. We all knew then that it was going to be a slow process and hung in with the 3 of them hoping they could bring on a winner.
They have done to a certain extent but i , as many others have, have moved on to more supported sims. Saying that, i will buy s3 if it appears.
To be really honest, they should scrap mouse /key support in view of the fact it not a cost prohibitive item anymore and they can really screw up the flow of a race.Yes FFB will not give you the best times but we are meant to be racing a simulation.
I still wish the developers well and if they asked the community to provide funds in advance, not unlike a shares package, we may well have a sim that the community has shares in and is properly funded but also gives the developers money to live on.

Thank you for the response. Having run a server i understand the issues that may arise, but i have found that education on the unwritten rules of racing online have to be taught to those whop are misinformed /race need for speed(which is i love ,crash bang and wallop all with no penalty ) /or are douches.
I was just a bit upset to be banned before i even had a chance to race.
Hi,
Just a quick point on LFS decorum.
It is not good manners to ban a racer even beforte they set tyre tracks on the course.
I had only just logged in and found myself banned immediatly.
If you choose to have a private reace or have only select racers then set as private please.
I do not appreciate being banned from any site ,no matter how exclusive, without warning or reason.
warm regards
Mike

Just that im starting to wonder where LFS is going seeing as you need a weird set to get heat into tyres / handling not what i would expect from the suspension setting i give.
generally confused ....saying that i do have the IQ of a goldfish
Ok had a bit of fun with g25 so hers my thoughts so far..... bloody marvelous You have to be aware that I don’t get the chance to race too much these days so im a bit rusty driving. My former wheel was the DFP. Construction: The whole package oozes quality Wheel: Rock solid mounting; zero play in the wheel and the dead spot from the DFP has gone. Very quiet with minimal notchiness from the gearing inside, in fact I don’t really notice it. Wheel size is way better (diameter and thickness) with the leather giving a very nice feel. Buttons are very nicely placed. I come onto the lack of buttons question when describing the gearshift. Paddles on the back are very nice and I especially like the extended ears, which makes it easier to grab a gear when whipping the wheel about. FF: Incredibly smooth with none of the jerkiness I found with the DFP. I have had to increase the FF up to 65% in LFS and 100% inRBR (compared to 50/70 ish) which is not to say the ff is weaker but more controlled and I think much less lag. The feel you get when the cars slide about makes the whole experience much more involving with the wheel behaving as it would in a normal car. Pedals: I refuse to takes these apart...for now anyways. I can only assume that the red piston shape is a shroud for the springs, but then again that’s purely speculation. The accelerator has good spring strength and brake and clutch have heavy settings so you really have to stomp on the brakes now. The pedal travel is much longer which I am finding is making my driving smoother. You can heal and toe pretty easily for the downshift. I have resorted to my old climbing stickies as the pedal effort was giving me sore feet (used to use socks) and it makes the heal and toe easier. Probably due to the larger footprint/weight the pedals have not moved since I put them in place. Gear stick/console: Good solid mounting. gear throw through the gates is swift and sure. There is a loudish click from the switches when you select a gear, but again I have gotten used to it pretty quickly and with earphones on it just give you a faintly audible/tactile notification that you have a gear. The stick stays in the gear position firmly. I have not tried it in sequential mode, and probably wont, as it is too much fun being able to jump from 6th to 2nd for hairpins etc. The lack off switches on the wheel has not really been a concern as when you are actually setup the switches actually fall nicely to you fingers. I also use binds for the wheel buttons to cycle through commands etc. Overall: happy I spent the money. In LFS I am finding the difficult setups eg.Flotch WR set for Blackwood, which I found very difficult to drive with DFP has become transformed and a pleasure to use, with smoother acceleration and braking. The steering itself has very nice feel to it with lovely turn in and feedback. RBR same again finding it much easier to modulate braking and acceleration which has led me to knock about 3-5 secs of my PB,s. I will be honest and say these both feel like new games again, not in a bad way but more like I am actually driving them.. If anybody else has any other questions then ill do my best to answer Cheers Mike
very smooth action on wheel pedals are superb with good weighting, gear selector also accurate. All components havew agood quality feel. ill post more as i get used to it..
I am one of the poor folks who are inept at building my own sets.
I am always grateful to the owners of good setups who share them. It invariably means ive got loads of sets to play with, that i know people have done good times with, and gives me a base to build from.
I rarely use them as is from the sender. Apart from goop and Viperosi who have a car balance that i enjoy.
And one other thing i have never been as quick as the person who was kind enough to share.
