Quote from Eldanor :

Now that we are talking about sound, and to separate the discussion from the patch thread I prefer to post this here.

I've found this clip in youtube that IMO shows very well the sounds that are heard in a cockpit while racing. Especially the "relative" volumes of each sound (engine, tyres, off track gravel...). They are stock hatchs at Donnington, and apart from the sound thing, it's a good race, some good action

Great find, I really liked how the black peugeot cut the corner at the last chicane

Quote from jamesgp2viper :

Here is my second soundset release for LFS, the XF GTR Soundset...

This sound is great, I really like it
Keep up the good work!

Ok. You need to register with the Europan (The Jovian Moon) customs and excise at which point they will ask you for sixteen different Identification points . . you know the sort . . . Photo, DNA, fingerprints...
Which brings me onto my run in with the deep space patrol and how to cope with them.

But that another story all together.

I hope that helps.

I don't get this, when I just make a few changes, like those in your link. Everything is messed up again...when I change it back to my previous settings it is still messed up.

Last thing I tryed was 740 both in logitech and LFS, I calibrate in lfs options, and then I get super fast steering in-game while I steer my wheel just a few millimeters. It's so anoying..

When you get super fast steering, try rotating the wheel from lock to lock a couple of times after pressing calibrate. That usually helps with my dfp

I've got a problem with my DFP, worked yesterday. Now the right LED is on and the left LED is flickering. Profiler can recognise it's plug in but no axies or buttons respond. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem right now, I've rebooted the computer several times and also tried deactivating/activating it in the hardware manager.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
This is getting really frustrating, it's just sitting there blinking at me, I wanna hit it with a baseball bat...

Quote from DanneDA :

Been driving the GTR:s on Aston Nat. for the last few days (nothing else to do), and I've noticed that I am several seconds slower than everybody else. This happens on any track with any car. For now I will just go into the GTR:s (only servers with more than 6-8 people in them with resonable ping).......

Hi
I took a look at the replay and there were a couple of things i noticed
1. Your driving is very aggressive, it feels like your wrestling the car around the track. Try to drive a couple of laps at 90% of max, just try to drive the correct line through turns but do it in a controlled way. Gradually increase the speed but try to keep it smooth.
2. It's the exit speed of a turn that matters. For example, in the last chicane your entry speed is to high which means your exit speed gets very low. Brake earlier and let the car "flow" through the chicane and gradually increase throttle to get a better exit.
3. Never apply trottle before u are completely sure that you can keep full throttle til the end of the turn. You never wanna go on and off with throttle

Just keep practicing and eventually you'll get faster

Quote from ajp71 :

The funniest thing is having seen the cars close up in the flesh at Goodwood it was the Renault that looked by far the slickest with the least aerodynamic bits stuck on it, actually it is a very attractive cars. Most of the other cars looked horrible with loads of aero bits randomly stuck on them, so maybe they don't work after all?

It think that the Renault has some very good aerodynamics without any extra aero bits, its well balanced and properly designed from the beginning. The reason why lots of extra pieces are bolted on to some cars is because they don't work well in their original form. Sort of a "quick fix" while the body is reworked.

Aston Martin DBR-9

One word: Awesome!

Wow, I i really liked it
+ Good balance between engine sound and music
+ Good angles, the "heli view" above south city was cool during the "road test"
Just one thing i didn't like, after it says 1/4 mile it gets very quiet, i would've liked something like the sound of wind blowing through trees, if you know what i mean
Great Movie!

Reverse the first 8 and you're set up for a great race.

That would make the newcomers on the server start in the back, which would give them a chance to get to know the track if they haven't driven it before.

Just got mine, works just like they said.

Sounds nice, cant wait til I get mine, ordered it two minutes ago

Thanks for the quick replys, going to order it tonight

Hi
I'm going to replace my Saitek "el crappo" R100 wheel for something nicer. I've come to the conclusion that i want a DFP but the info on the websites makes me confused. None of them even mention that it works with a pc, they all just say that it is a wheel for the ps2. Does all DFP wheels work with my pc or do I have to order a special version?
Would be kind of annoying to end up with a wheel that doesnt work properly....

Hi
I tried to make the FZR look old, dirty and rusty, I think it turned out ok
Feel free to use and/or improve the skin if you want to!

Well...I was taking a few practice laps around Aston when I saw this car standing next to the track. It's strange cause I've never seen it before but it looks like it has been standing there for quite a while...
