Thanks guys!

Hi Guys.

I registered our new team with lfsworld but i have a small issue.
I added myself to the team, but when i'm in game i don't see the team tag.
Do i need to do something in game as well to add it?

Regards

Count me in!

I'll enjoy this for sure, as long as my ping allows it..

I changed my wheel turn to 600 degrees and that seemed to helped me a lot. Not actually sure what this does but the steering wheel feels much better that way.
Not in the lap times yet where i used to be, but i suppose i just need more practise with the wheel now as i'm constantly running 1:34 and low 1:35's now.

Thanks for the help guys.

Are you using some special KB set? If so can you try any good wheel set and try again?

That's a good point you have.
I'm currently using a set i got off someone from a server (changed a few small setings though), but i have reason to believe that he might have been a kb/mouse driver..

I'll see if i can find a few other setups from different guys with wheels and see if i'm experiencing the same problem with that as well.

What setup do you use? Your own custom one?

Thanks, Yes of course it does, but with Kb we hardly have this problem due to the limit multiplier hence we are surprised using wheel I guess Yes, I guess we have to bleed off the brakes as we try to turn in. In KB its all black and white, gotta get used to the grey analogue world

Yes of course it will take time to get used it.

But i have used a wheel in the past, like say 2 years ago and i didn't have this problem this severely. I mean i could do 1:33's on blackwood back then, now i only make 1:35's if i'm having a good lap. So my point being, i have been a lot faster with a wheel before, i just don't know what i need to adjust on my car setup or wheel setup to get back into that times.

Quote from pipa :

On a straight both the right and left tire have the same amount of weight resting on them, so they both have the same friction and break equally.

When you enter a corner the weight shifts to the wheel that is on the outside of the corner, so that wheel has more friction than it had on the straight and the inside wheel has less friction than on the straights.
-> If you apply the same braking force the inside wheel will lock up, to counter this go gradually off the brake when entering a corner.

The occasional lock up happens to all of us without ABS though .

Hi pipa.
I understand that you can't apply the same amount of force in a corner as to when in a straight line.

I played a little bit with tyre pressures, camber and maximum braking force.... None of which actually helped to a point where i could notice a difference.

My problem is quite severe actually at this moment. Some guys on the servers were actually asking me what the hell is going on as i brake way to early and that i throw their pace of behind me as well.

Like i said, i have to complete all my braking before i enter the corner. I can't even apply 20% of my braking power in a corner... Then the wheels just lock up and i skid into a horrible understeer.

So obviously my car is not balanced correctly for using a wheel.

Any help is much appreciated..

Hi Guys.

I switched over from using a keyboard to using a wheel. But i have 1 problem with my setup now.
For some reason i have to brake a lot earlier due to my wheels locking up as soon as i enter the turn.
So what it means is i can brake hard in a straight line without locking my wheels but as soon as i touch the steering wheel while braking i lock my wheels up.

Any suggestions what i can change on my car setup or pedal setup to avoid this?
