Do the same for the pedals.

Hope that helped.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Some people look into products PRIOR to purchase!

Quote from Bawbag :

+1 on BBT, everything you've mentioned is information you 'should' know before purchasing a product, ie, use your brain, read a little on what you about to spend your money on, damn. :monkey:

I did. The site says:

Quote :

Unlimited racing in officially sanctioned races that run 24/7 or join member hosted races and leagues – you can even host your own race
Open practice sessions with other members 24/7
Testing and time trialing available 24/7
100% access to our simulation and member site, member forums and voice/text chat rooms
9 tracks and 6 cars come with membership – everything you need to compete in our official road and oval “rookie” series

All this says to me i have access to my 9 tracks and 6 cars for unlimited racing, time trialing and practice. and that I can even host my own races.

But i cant.
Yesterday there was 1 race with 1 car available on a shitty oval track and nobody was even practicing.
Today there is the same oval track and car but also a second track and car available. The MX5.

If i try to host my own race, it wants to charge me money.

Quote from boothy :

Well it is a money-making business with a sim on the side, but not a scam. You can do a decent amount of racing without buying content, and don't need to buy much to do a whole lot more.

Unfortunately you joined in week 13, in between each 12 week season where they deploy updates and there's only 1 official road and oval series for everyone to join for free. So I'd just suggest going into practice sessions and trying it out, new season starts on Tuesday GMT.

So next week will i have access to all 6 cars and 9 tracks for online racing?
Or will i still be restricted to a limited number of practice sessions on a limited number of tracks?

I bought iRacing and i have to say i am extremely dissapointed with it.
I wouldnt even call it a game, its more of a scam to get your money.

You get 6 cars and 9 tracks with your membership.
But apparently, you cant play with them online :O

Of the games im eligble to join, i can only join 2 without having to pay for extra content...
I can play with my 6 cars and 9 tracks, offline in practice mode, but i still need to be connected to the internet to do it!
Hell if i want to host my own race, i must hire a server from, them :O
I did not pay for an online game to have it tell me i must play offline if i want to use the content i paid for.

And dont even get me started on the way it works... browser based client? WTF is with that?

Put simply, iRacing is a scam to get more money from you. Stay away from it.

Well thanks for the attempt anyway.

Put simply, i use Joy2Key for other things and it pisses me off.
Especially since unplugging controllers and plugging them back in often reassigns the buttons to a different number.

Its such a simple thing, i cant believe the profiler from the manufacturer website is missing these 2 buttons.

Hi guys.

Is it possible to use a command (like /press) to press a joystick button?

Reason i ask is because the logitech profiler does not see the shift stick and i need a way (not using joytokey) to assign shift up and down to 2 different buttons. The paddles and the stick.

Thanks

Router seems fine, i can play LAN with my GFs Laptop no problems.
Perhaps ill try another network card in the machine, tho its the same Wifi and Wired

Quote from LARK2355 :

try reducing your max guest down to 2 when you set up your host and see if that helps

Makes no difference if im hosting or its an Internet game.

Quote :

... Try shift-f4 into windowed mode then back into full screen...

Sounds strange, but Ill give it a shot.

Thanks fellas, any other suggestions still welcomed tho

Hi guys.

I set LFS up on my other machine so my brother can play as well.
It runs flawlessly with a full grid on single player, but when you play online (even LAN) there is a distinct 1 second pause every 7 seconds.


I thought it maybe CPU, GPU or RAM related but the CPU sits at about 20% online, RAM is at 42% usage and the GPU has no issues running the game even at the highest settings im pulling 45 FPS in single player, full grid.

Seems to be network related since its only in LAN and Internet games it happens. Ive used Wired and Wireless from the PC - Router and its the same either way.

Any ideas?

I already posted it for u in the other thread where u asked.
I'll post em here when I'm not on my phone.

Would it be possible for one of you clever fellas to make a skin like the slime style on dirt 3?

Will this do you?
Thats about all i could tell it looks like from the vid i found :P

Err ok so I won't bother??

No worries.

What font is that you are using on your logo?

Ill give it a shot if u like, what specs and what car?

My Beasties

Purple is V8 Auto Fairmont with a fair bit of under the hood work.
Black is i6 Manual, stock standard XR6 in Original condition. <3

Yer, it seems a little strange actually, a have a few installations happening and depending what i do in 1 installation it seems to effect the other?
Seems ok for me at the moment with the 3 screens running. Its pulling 45fps minimum (full grid start line) and averaging 60+.

Ive read a few threads about the graphics settings in the cards control panel, in game ect and they all seem to recomend opposite things.
For example one guy has the best results with everything set to Max Quality, another guy had the same card and got better results from max performence. Seems to be a matter of playing with settings to get the best result.

I have everything set to full in game, all looking good at the moment and running smooth as butter

Heres a very quick one.

Havnt checked it on the car, so it may be a bit shabby.
Hope its good enuff for now

Heres some very quick XFG ones:

Heres a quick one for ya.
Dunno if its what u had in mind tho.

Nah more at the dude who said:
"Short answer: You can't achieve what you want."

and the multiple people in game who told me the view i was trying to get wasnt possible.

Thanks for the help fellas, working well.

Seem to have screwed up some settings somewhere tho. Even in single screen mode im struggeling to get 80+FPS and everything looks a bit rough. Trees flicker even when your sitting still with the engine off they have a shimmer effect to them.
I was looking better and running better before i messed with too many settings

EDIT: Fixed, it appears SoftTH screws up the graphics a bit. If i wanna play single screen mode i have to swich to the Non soft TH card and back to 200 FPS.
Sadly im stuck at 30 - 45 FPS in tripple screen mode with shimmering trees

Quote from JasonJ :

I've easily made that configuration with 90 degrees between the screens to btw. If you can't make the Screen Angle higher, make the Main Screen FOV higher first. I can't understand what the problem is?

Use custom view and set to Centre View with the button on the right. Here's the rest of the settings.



Note View Offset=0.0 and X offset=0.000m
Tweak the Y & Z offsets (fore/aft & up/down) of the seat to get it exactly how you want it.

I'd suggest:
- re-arranging your physical monitors at 90 degrees as well.
- set up the wheel on the side of the main monitor, unless you have a mclaren F1.

Good man

Yer it was simple as that thanks mate. Basically i couldn't set the side bezel to 90 because i had the FOV too close to the dash.

So much for people saying its not possible and the posted SS was "normal".

Very happy thanks

I get over 200 fps generally so no worries there. Pumps about 60 fps with 3 screens.
The photo is exactly as I'd like it, and it's nothing like the screen shot, look closely.
I can see out BOTH side windows perfect and the dash is straight.
In the SS, the dash is warped and u can only see the mirror on 1 side. The windscreen also spreads across 2 screens instead of 1.

Help someone? Anyone?

The annoying thing is, i have achieved the effect i want before.
I decided to see just how poor hardware i could get away with running 3 screens. I have plenty of old hardware to play with so i built a crappy system and away i went.

AMD Athlon 1.4, GeForce 4 440 x8 AGP, Riva TNT2 M64. 512mb Ram running XP.
Using SoftTH i managed to get the 3 screens running at 3072x768 pulling an average of 12 - 18 FPS or 35 - 40 FPS on a single screen at 1400x900.
Camera was almost exactly how i want it and i cant get it on a much better setup

Try holding start + select for about 5 seconds, then press right on the D-Pad.


If its like the other generic PS3 / PC wheels by default the pedals are set as buttons not slider/axis.
Least thats how this one & this one & this one work and it looks very similar.

Quote from blackbird04217 :

Spreading the front view wider (tripling the FOV) is the advantage to three screens. I'm not sure how your view is messed up, or what your trying to achieve; I know I use cockpit view with 3 screens, and it feels pretty natural. Based on the math in rendering a 3D scene to 2D monitors, the side monitors will be slightly stretched, but I haven't found that terribly distracting.

Try taking a screen shot of your cockpit view, and your custom camera that is closest to what you want. (Shrink them a bit and save as jpg or something obviously). Hope you figure out how to get it working for you!

Im trying to get a more inside the car feel. I want to turn my head to see out the side windows like in a real car.
Id like to have the secondary screens on a 90deg angle, but the game doesnt go that high

How it does look:


How it should look: (Note photoshopped to 3 screenies)


What i want to achieve:

Quote :

It sounds like you want to use three viewports and angle the side viewports a lot. Use a wide FOV, then zoom in each view a bit, should give something close to what you want.

Seems to me that i can only adjust them all at once, how do i do each individual screen?

yer, when u do get it sorta how i want it, its all distorted and disorientating.

There has to be a way to do it tho, seems a waste to use 3 screens if all you can do is spread the front view wider

I notice some camera control mods in the mod section. Any chance one of these can help?

Its already set like that.
Wheel is in the center screen, but the center view is half shown on the passanger side view when i only want it displayed on the center screen.
