but then, the guy holding ORI isn't really playing in the league also

anyway I think we better stop discussing about game "versions" here. If you can get the game, then good...otherwise you have to find a different solution. Don't mind if I ask, will you be participating in the league or just random races?

for me...
A-upshift
Z-downshift
haven't really tried any game with manual before...kinda waste of time since those games always change car at some stage. Now I have a problem with speed limiter...the default setting is "L"...kinda across the other end of the keyboard

some of us may not be used to playing with manual transmission in this game...so what say you on letting them use auto? We can set manual ourselves while they set to auto.

check first post...the race dates are there. Wait a minute...are you even joining the league??

its good that PRINZE can do manual...but I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about those who just came in after MIA for such a long time. Just look at ccy...he was asking why he couldn't turn on the aids

I am suggesting this also because the....'death' rate of our drivers has been quite severe in the last few practice races. Just ask jacky, he thinks that the race distance is the cause. Everybody was making mistakes at the end of the race, including you. ccy, skeweredz and all did not practice as much as you or me so they're at more risk of not finishing. And don't blame me when they "masuk wrong gear" and hit you if and when you're trying to overtake them. This same thing happened when I raced mie2 in USA last season...remember? I smacked into specter.

One way or another...we can set to manual ourselves. For those who had not practiced much, or are just too tired to mess with so many buttons on the keyboard, you can switch to auto...or "upshifts" / "downshifts" only. It would help them learn more about how the car is suppose to work.

I don't have anymore call for this case, unless called upon or provoked. Ask evohahn and adrian wait...evo ady said ok...adrian how?

I tried auto before suggesting it, the lap time was slower by half a second per lap...and I couldn't brake as much as I can with manual T.

This Friday we're doing Europe, Nurburging.
Everyone was doing around 1.31 - 1.32 I remember...
and everyone, please try to come. Remember to use F1rst3 not hamachy

let's see how this Friday's test goes first...

race at 10pm...

how about...if we set the percentage to...50% instead of 90%? I'm sure that's a more reasonable amount.

where have you been...we are using manual

cannot go to N??? That's cheating ady....
yup...you can't feel coast with stability on...heck, you can even feel it in the game...coz it doesn't exist
you post in wrong thread ar?

about the gears, if its anything but modifying the game files...its acceptable. But then, you're now the only person to risk DNF by missing the pitstop even by a little

if really got tyre lock, you can tell from the smoke ma...even the graphics clearly show that the wheel is locked up there.
and these locks can be adjusted with brake bias and other settings isn't it? Come to think of it...my new settings does help eliminate any normal wheel locks

I only know the XBOX 360 controller is a suitable replacement for the MOMO's steering and pedal advantage. The analog direction controller is a little easier than MOMO (yes, disadvantage is its less realistic...dun bring this up again) when turning max left to max right, vice versa. And the trigger buttons (PS2 controller tak ada) is suitable for racing. I really loved it when playing Gotham Racing. Had to learn to control the car in the corners WHILE kena bang illegally by the AI Luckily those were GT cars...so drifting and still maintaining good speed is easy.

the PS2 controller is just another simple controller...no difference. The buttons are just buttons, cannot adjust the % like 360's controller. One good thing about the XBOX 360's controller is that its made by Microsoft...and they claim it suits most of their games for the PC (& of coz XBOX 360 console itself). And another...its quite reliable. My (cousin's) 1st Gen XBOX controller ady very long lasting...I'm sure this one also last just as long...maybe

so...based on what you say, if I set the gear 7 to 'alt'...I won't get gear 7 even if I gear up? Wat da...
and I didn't say the setting has anything to do with tyres

I know about the 1, 2, 3, 4 nonsense thing...but like I said, its nonsense so I didn't bother about it. Takkan I'm gonna press all 7 (9 if add N/R) different buttons during the entire race This won't help during braking either coz you're skipping gears. I really dunno wat the producers are doing...Maybe coz you guys have to set a lot to use the momo, so you know about it. All I do is acc, brake, left, right...settle. No need so troublesome. Keyboard easy

yes, I was talking about tyre lock...but I didn't say "let" the tyre lock up before changing braking style into that corner during the race

oh ya...kinda like Grand Turismo.

Added on March 28, 2007, 12:30 pmset the AI toughness to about 95%...and that should be where we are now.
Last time when racing with aids, we could breach the 120% difficulty. Now without aids our 'skills' reduced 25%

err...err...I dunno wor. Haven't tested any race in Aust yet...only tried racing in Sepang the other day. No problem also...

I need details...was the track wet, dry or changing that time? Exactly at which lap your brakes explode? All teams explode at same lap?

evo, question...we can set the transmission thing to upshift/downshift only meh? I think for that...we must set to allow full auto wor...

I tot use less fuel means can pit less?
anyway, out of boredom, I went to test race settings just now...so many wall kisses and doughnuts
and my brakes also failed on lap 17-18. Which lap did you guys lose your brakes?
see the pic...only front left brake totally gone (0.000cm)...dunno why


Attached thumbnail(s)

Practice starts at 9pm...race or qualifying at 10pm.

changing the tyre wear/fuel will help our brakes problem meh?
after last night's test...I've come up with 2 solutions.
1) if you feel the brakes totally gone...switch your brake bias to FULL REAR and drive slower a bit.
2) try using lower brake pressure or brake sensitivity (haven't tested...gonna test tonight )
3) increase Engine brake mapping (forgot what its really called ady) which helps in braking...but eats a lot of fuel if you do...

besides these 3...I dunno what other solution there is

race admin getting fedup of today's slow line. everytime I quote, press reply...page get's stuck

several issues here. evo, you should have noticed. Changing weather is not accepted unless we are able to fit everybody into 1 room. If we are doing groups...and 1 group get dry all the way while the other group gets wet all the way...do you think that is fair?

Raikkonen, how do we check the engine/brakes temp on the MOMO/LCD?

madman20, I said race is at 10PM...you taking nite Japanese classes ar?

that's why we are having the F1rst3 test tmr ma...that's the one and only reason of the test. If insufficient people come...then we just play bumper cars

*preparing some ammo*

part time class...great
stewards, ideas?

yo, you sure have some bionic-eyes...those things on the LCD are so damn small >.<

no offence gkl...but its very likely that you spun yourself. If you have 1 wheel on the grass...there's no escape [YOU WILL SPIN]. So, even if madman did hit you...the result is the same.

no one is online coz everybody go to sleep ady lo, you so late only come

jacky told me yesterday....the brake failure only happens when we set the mechanical failure to time scaled. If normal mechanical failure, our brakes will be normal. So, no need to worry about brakes failure ady. Damn fedup yesterday....do 4 FULL test runs

feel like trying to race with the momo tonight...

tonight practice using F1rst3 at 9.00pm. We race at 10pm.
Please update your F1rst3 earlier just in case!

I'm guessing the brake pads being at 100% at the end of the race is a bug. When I tried 18 laps, I quit on the 19th lap...my brakes were at 0.9xx cm. So, it does work.

anyway, the league rule was to use normal mechanical failure...so we shouldn't have anymore brake problems.
until now, I still dunno what time scaled is...anyone got F1C manual?
