Thank you Wanderleis, i'll try to be up to date next time.
I just dl the WSSP 1.1 when i started the server and the 1.2 was out during my session. But still, i'll try next time, sorry 

Great !!!

Merci.

nope...
i'm still on 1.1 i didn't know...
i just checked, it was 2 hours after catching the 1.1.

Sorry again, guys, my bad.

And thank you teeds for reporting.

Hello,

i've seen that many people tried to join tonight, tabu, Wanderleis, teeds but none of them couldn't stay looks like.
What was the error message  ?
is it ping related ?

Thanks.

Beautiful work Julien113, bravo and yes the update fixed the wooble on hard braking, riding it is a real pleasure, specially the Lucas'one 

Thank you for all this amount of work. 

What a story, a bad one... Hope you gonna catch back the good sensation to spend time on the best hobby possible 

Will be very happy to cross you somehow so DST can become a reality, even if i made a kind of HS device, i still have in mind a two axis system (steering and leaning) and i'm stuck mostly at designing the usb interface as well as understanding how the software uses this famous DST.
Anyway, as everybody said, welcome back even if i came "in the between"

@DD : After what you wrote in the GP Bikes video topic, here is what i had to do because regular FFB is made for a wheel and our handlebars are a lot wider so it forces like hell and is not strong enough. In addition, the DC motor gets super mega hot and i'm afraid everything is going to smoke dark...

So, since we have 3D Printers, i went to change the gearing for the DC Motor to the main axe and try to give it more forces to fight the handlebar torque.

1. The white is the original, Module 0.75, one 22, one 100 that gives torque to a end one, module 0.75 in 22 teeth.



2. The one i did are module 0.8 one 38 et one 70, and the center one is still 0.75 module in 22 teeth also.



3. The original



4. How it looks without the FFB gearing



5. After mounting my own production   



Ans so at the end, the FFB is stronger and you feel it a lot more. I set the dynamic down  and the static more agressiv, and that gives good sensations, specially when braking while entering a curve.
I'll do the video, but not until minimum one week cuz i'm waiting for some parts first specially Yellow 3D filament, but with this kind of "Gruyere" week we have, it takes longer.

Thanks 

I use Lean Heading at 70%, no aids except new tyres each pitstop !
Soon (when all the 3D printing is finished) i'll post the final video of my handlebar on the DIY "Realistic Rig" post i started.
The smooth comes from both things from me :
1. What Vini helped me to set, the view, i was away from that and as he said, the mode=1 should be there by default in the "View" section.
2. The fact that I threw away the springs on the handlebar head and replace it by a FFB system extracted from an old Thrustmaster wheel. it helps a lot feelings the "grip" and bike movement. And i kind of reach a point where it's really a good feeling "automatically" meaning, i don't have to think or interpret in my mind, it's almost as if i where riding a bike.
And i have a incredible seat now, but everything will appear in the video as i said.
I have two of them to do, one for here (mostly for DD and the ones that wants, in English) and another one in French for a YT channel that takes care of bike riding and video games.
Still some printing work to finish the aesthetic and i'll be set.

Now, i 'll have time to practice and enjoy. it took 6 month 

Hello !

One week later, finished settings everything for my rig, found a way to force the DC Motor to increase his power and it give really good feelings specially when braking and taking curves.
So i went back to Autodrom.
And set 4.5 sec faster. 
I have a 1.47.9xx ideal lap but still didn't catch under 1.48.2xx
So i think i've reach "my" max.
Maybe better gearing or suspension but i guess, my DIY handlebar starts to be efficient and feelings are getting closer to IRL.
Love this game and my son is just behind my ass on timing, going to start his own DIY handlebar soon.

Enjoy

In Moto3, Aron Canet will start from the last line on the Bugatti grid in Le Mans sayd FIM MotoGP.
And in Moto2, Marini will go 6 places back on the grid after putting Navarro away.

Ok, so what about this idea to add some oil on the fire : Pedrosa coming from behind, was the only one that could see the entire scene, so he should have braking away and avoid the mess... 

I'm not fan of Lorenzo (as Guigui404 looks like  ) but respect for a true Champion.
I'm not fan of Pedrosa (but he has all my respect because he is a nice AND fast guy which is not Lorenzo's case - to be nice, who loves to make clivage between people, it's his strength, you like him or dislike him but everybody has an idea about that),
I'm not fan of Dovi but same as Pedrosa, nice and fast guy. He was heading for second postion in Championship.

I just think its awfull for the 3 of them, and yes, Lorenzo was sliding and playing the cork in Jerez corners for Dovi and Pedrosa, but he was doing his race and trying to be the first of the 3 which is what we're waiting for from a competitor. Maybe Ducati should have ask him to let Dovi pass, but we all know that i'd prefer to die than to give his place, but hey, that's racing, what else ?
And in 30+ yrs, never seen such a strike eliminating the 3 pilots.

Cooldown guys..

Why people can't express themselves normally ? We don't need angryness.
Everybody can says, and let's debate about it, please remain gentlemen....   

BTW, great for Oettl, after 6 years of racing, he finally will have one. 

Clearly Lorenzo was at fault since he hit both Pedrosa and Dovizioso...

Clear racing incident, a series of mistakes/miscalculations from all three riders resulting in an unfortunate accident. Dovi outbraked himself and went wide while trying to overtake Jorge, Lorenzo also went wide (because of Dovi's move), did not calculate that Dani was coming as fast as he did, Dani seeing Lorenzo going wide thought he had enough time to go trough in the gap. Lorenzo, not seeing Dani tried to cut back to the apex, Dani not seeing Lorenzo kept his speed on his inside line, Dovizioso was stuck on the outside. Lorenzo sees Dani too late, tries to pick up his bike but they collide, sending Dani into the air. The collision takes Lorenzo's bike wide, into Dovi who has nowhere to go... Unfortunate for all of them but no one in particular is to blame. None of the moves were crazy, no one was intentionally forcing anybody of the track... it was one of those riders going for the same piece of tarmac at the same time. If you want to see someone to blame and call stupid, look at Canet's move in the Moto3 race... now there is someone to blame (and it's not the first time he does something like that, or even worse).

Cheers,

Totally agree with this statment.
Racing incident.

And yes, Pedrosa is so light that he flies each time, poor Dani.

Same analysis about Canet who killed Martin's race, and has the guts to shout at him after 

Nop, how could he twist his head to look inside at this speed with Dovi missing his breaking point in front of him ? its impossible.
What will you do if it was you ? look inside, deviate and let Pedrosa pass ? From the sofa, easy, on the track, i m p o s s i b l e.
Even if he knew the gap between him and Dani.

Edit : And he didn't "hit" Dani, he went back to the apex on the curve.
