Small correction: We, Team #10, are not (P2M) but (»pm)

I tried that hibernation thingy out. It's the same for me.

As the pad-electronics are built into my G25 the axes of the gamepad are not accessible. Pushing the buttons won't "wake" things up. So I tried it with a rather similar gamepad I have here. Buttons won't "wake" things up, too. But moving any axis of the pad "wakes" things up. All axes of all connected controllers are useable then. Strange, huh? Thanks for the tip, p1lot. Maybe we'll get this solved soon.

I'll try that out, p1lot. I'll report it back then.

Quote from Scawen :

OK... so the controls screen works perfectly, as expected? And it's only going wrong when you are trying to drive the car? Is that the same for everyone?

Nope. Control screen doesn't work correctly. When my "bad" gamepad is plugged in it says 3 controllers detected in the upper right but no axis can be moved. When I press recalibrate axes all axes are marked as x axis and cannot be moved either. Without that gamepad plugged in my other 2 controllers work (G25 & VPP pedals).

Tell me if you need more information.

Ok, I plugged in and out and again and again

Turned out that the Gamepad was the problem in my case. When it is plugged in no axis works. When I plug it out G25 and VPP axes work as usual.

Sad thing is that I need that gamepad to use my additional buttons on the G25. I hope this is fixable - should be as it worked perfectly in X10.

EDIT:

Maybe it's too many axes? G25 has 4, VPP Pedals have 3 and Gamepad has 2. Dunno. Just a guess.

After patching to X30 I cannot use any axis in LFS. I tried it again with my X10 version - worked fine as usual. Downloaded X10 again - worked fine. Patched that fresh X10 to X30 - axis gone again.

LFS shows "3 controllers detected" in the upper right corner.

The following 3 controllers are connected:

Logitech G25
Logitech Wingman Gamepad
Joywarrior USB controller (VPP pedals)

Just for info:
#10 will not start due to not enough available drivers. I'm sorry

Admins are already informed. Good race @all!

Ruling by Admin: Protest leading to penalty

(the last lap in the race) #10 probably have a flat tire and drive dangerous. He couldn't keep his line and put me into the wall.

We're really sorry for that. It was not really dangerous driving. It was just the car turning to the left under braking because of the flat right rear tire. Daniel could do nothing against it. Bad luck you were exactly at that position when he began to brake. Sorry again. Even it doesn't help anyone I think this apology should be made.

Yeah. But if a driver hasnt raced before, he has to download all skins before being able to join the server. This could be around 10mb in the worst case.

I think so, too. But I also think, the admins just didn't update it.

Great racing there! Congratulations to Mercury, SK, Core and everybody else who took part in this great event!

Great video Don! Could you tell me which textures you used for it? Looks very nice.

But the Samsung Syncmaster 750S is a 17" CRT monitor. Because of that 1024x768 is the optimal setting.

Quote from KeiichiRX7 :

It's also to see how well the two interact onthe track.

Of course it is. You're right. Hopefully it'll show the whole thingy is almost perfect.

Well, it's kind of how you understand the testrace. I think it's main point is the balancing IN the GT2 class. We all know how the GT1 cars perform. Because of that selecting a GT2 car was obligatory for me.

I'm in with XRR GT2

Quote from Tweaker :

It just came to my attention to JUST how SLOW the FWD GTR cars at tracks the big GTRs are really fast at. Was on a server with BLGP and those two types of cars... The FWD GTR was so god damn slow at Blackwood, and the GTRs were coming up on me like flies. A fast GTR could pass me on the exit of one corner, and nearly gone the next corner at BL. Imagine 30 cars, half of which could be FWD GTRs... that would be nasty at Blackwood since you'd always be passing a shitty FWD car every corner, it would be a mess. At least with the restricted GTRs, there is plenty of safe speeds through corners to not have the hassle of needing to get by through corners like on BL1.

Quite frankly, the FWD cars were crap for long races.

That's exactly my opinion. Another point is, restricted GTRs would drive the same line as the normal GTRs. FWDs are totally different.

Great! Thanks!

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Indeed it has.

I'll update them Sunday morning when I'm back at home. I've got no access to the tools, or patches, where I am right now.

Mmh, did you updated the files? I cannot get an unlock :/
