Thanks mate.

Do you use a right rear brake pad on tar?

Where does everyone run their axle lead? I have been running parallel as I've not got a clue what difference it makes.

I am not that fast on tarmac and was doing 16.5/6's. Forget about laptimes when your starting out. You need to have consistant times without spinning. The laptimes will start coming down eventually.

What Southy said. If you can hit 16.6 to 16.9 on Monday you will do fine. 16.2 and 16.3 will be the fastest guys i reckon.

Concentrate on staying consistent.

Wd Drumb.

Enjoyed my first meeting back.

unfortunately I can't race this meeting It's my birthday that day. Good luck to all racers!

That's a terrible excuse mate !

damn it just posted in another thread asking what wheel you have Allan....then saw this thread lol.

 

I used to run a sidewinder. Real feel was a bit strange on it. I think someone told me once that the sidewinder doesn't quite deliver true force feedback, so thats why it doesnt quite feel right.

 

The settings I have posted further up this thread are for a Logitech Driving Force GT..basically a poor mans G25 lol. I bought mine brand new from Argos for about £80 and find it a much better experience than the sidewinder.

 

If you have the money though, definitely buy a G25 or G27.

Don't have the money but just bought a G25 on eBay. Sidewinder is great but it's not upto much on RF. Are the settings you posted a must? What do they do over the default?

welcome back Allan will be good to see you again mate.

 

I am sure a few people will help you out with setties if your struggling, although I personally think RF is more about how you drive it than having a brilliant set up.

 

Also are you using a steering wheel? and if so which one?

Good to hear from you mate.

MS sidewinder FF mate but trying to get Logitech G25 on ebay atm.

Yeh on double checking, Southy is exactly right, that explains it.

Cheers lads, your a pair of legends.

Thanks mate, wasn't that. Thank i've sorted it.

I was filling the layer "Body Colour". I've now filled the panel layer and it seemed wrong at the time as all the modelling lines were still on the panels but if you keep clicking the flood tool, it soon goes over them, not even sure if i am doing it right, templates were far simpler in the heat days

No doubt this answer will be simple.

Trying to paint a bingley template for F2 and i'm trying to make the body black but it's coming out a dark grey, instead of black, help an idiot out?

Cheers

yes mate 1 skin just change the wing and wing colour box and upload all 4, you do need a dds plug in you just need to flatten the psd to save in that format, just use an exsisting veh file and rename it for you so you can see what its like in game etc

 

all chassis physics are the same but some driving positions are different so its down to each individual what you prefer most (gold roof is in a dk british roof is in a randall irish is in a higman) so no 1 chassis is the out and out favorite for the top lads although i would say rces are very popular on tar for everyone else (no titles held by 1 tho i dont think?)

 

as for your grade it wont be red but i will get back to you when we have discussed it mate not much help to you now i know but didnt even think about it till now sorry, its very hard to say when we have never seen you race or practice before so we dont know how quick you are

Let me help you out, not very quick

The link to the DDS plugin is broken, but i managed to get v6.74 from another site for the time being.

you have to wait for counter to process it mate and being a weekend/bank holiday he probs wasnt around so i would guess it would be soon now tho

 

Thanks bud, i might chuck a skin together tonight.

 

So just to get this right, i make one skin, then change the roof colour on them so that i submit all of the grades? Anyone got a clue what grade ill enter at? I am showing as red on the ukdirt site but there is no danger im a red on RF mate. I presume there will be a guide on conversting etc, from what i remember before you require a plugin for adobe that does the DDS part.

 

Been out of this game far too long !

 

So before i blast on with painting, is there a major difference in the handling of chassis? Is there a preference that people swing towards? What chassis do the top guys use? I need as much help as i can get.

 

Cheers for answering all my questions lads, its appreciated.

Found the skin painting guide, couldn't access main site from work.

I am not sure if it works with the Microsoft wheel - think i tried it when i had my sidewinder. Once I got my G27 it worked and I have not looked back since. The information that the guys posted here was spot on.

Definitely gonna invest in a Logitech mate, sidewinder was great back when i bought it but technology has moved on so much. Seen a few decent priced G25's on eBay.

Found this topic quite interesting.

I am currently ussing a Microsft FF wheel and i am having problems with real feel. Just installed it the other night and car feels horrible. I have read various places that the FF setting in RF options needs to be a - figure rather than a + so i have changed that.

Should i also use the ini file on this post or is that only for the G27?

Cheers
