Hi all,

just finished a GTR series, I was racing the FZR, most of the other competitors were racing the FXR. The FXRs would almost always beat me off the line due to the drivers spooling up the turbo (by flooring it) and launching well on the green light.

Any general tips for getting a good take off in the FZR? Is it possible to beat the FXRs off the line?

Cheers.

Hi there,

when I enable xfire the following occurs to my throttle/brake:

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Do you use H-Shifter? If so, as LFS loses focus, it can't egister that you're in gear, and puts it into neutral. Also, it keeps the pedal held down as you had it, so it revs high in neutral.

I've had that happen with MSN, not sure if it's the same thing for XFire though

Thanks for your reply,

I use the paddles on the wheel to change gears, however I use the shifter's buttons for pit limiter etc. I'll check to see if the shifter (set to sequential at the mo') is bound to do anything.

Hi there,

when I activate xfire in game to message a friend etc, my car in LFS starts revving uncontrollably. It seems that xfire interferes with my G25 wheel when the xfire overlay is active.

I have previously been able to use xfire in LFS without this strange problem, however that was a good 6-12 months ago.

Can any other players using xfire let me know if they get the same problem?

Cheers.

I was conceived in the backseat of a XF-GTi (they had dark windows back then..)

For those of you that don't know any spanish, I bracketed the title for you people.

Boooo... I mean thanks.

Quote from danowat :

I need to try and relax LOL

Maybe try listening to recordings of Whale sounds and Enya while you race....

Moby Dick and Enya should do a Christmas Album imo

Have had some great races with the faster A.I , they do still collide/ram me etc, however the effects of collisions (in general) don't seem as severe.

Is this something that has been changed?

Awesome patch lads, Merry Christmas all.

Thanks for the proggy

Weeeeeeeeeeee new stuffz

Hmm, not so sure about that, as he refers to "rebound" settings further in the list. I will keep reading and try and nut it out.

Hi,

have been reading a couple of books on setups etc, in Drive to Win by Carroll Smith, he has a checklist of causes and effects in regards to car handling etc.

Under the heading "Corner Entry Understeer -- car won't point in and gets progressively worse"

one of the possible causes is "Insufficient front damper bump force"

Later under "Corner Entry Understeer -- car initially points in then washes out"

he states "Insufficient front damper bump resistance" as a possible cause.

He makes reference to rebound settings in other sections, just wondering if someone can clarify what he might mean by "Bump force" and "bump resistance"? Is he referring to shocks that have low speed and high speed bump? I think I have been reading too much too fast and confusing myself. heh.

Thanks again gents
AndroidXP thanks for your explanations, they are very clear and helpful.

Last question (for now)

The preload setting in the garage goes up to 800Nm, what is a "normal" starting point from which to make the tweaks suggested in other posts?

(I'm open to some mathematical answers if need be)

Here's a snippet on preload from a GTR-Motec guide.

Guide removed as it was deemed to be a load o' Bollocks...

Hi all,

just wondering if there is any general advice people can give in regards to setting up preload correctly. Cheers

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Not really, right now.

Hmm, can I ping the clients at all, or find their ping using a script or something?

Cheers.

Hi all,

is there a way I can configure my server to only allow people to connect who have a ping range of < 200 ms (for example)?

Cheers,

Herbz

Sweet, thanks wabz
