Not sure if things have changed, but I can't seem to get my leathers to show in the game. I put a paint folder in the rider folder. Is it different now?

Been gone a while, last beta I was able to play was b11.

In Beta 13 the virtual rider in DST doesn't give up the control of the bike until about 20-25 mph. Until then he is fighting me to steer, wobbling back and forth. Beta 11 didn't have this, it felt much better. Since in beta 11 the control release to DST was much sooner. Only really noticed it when walking the bike, and parking on the grid. Beta 11 felt like the controls switched to DST at 5 or 10 mph.

Anyway to bump it down to just off of the bike walking pace?

Other then that, DST feels really good, a lot more confidence when braking at lean angles. Don't feel the front wheel shuttering.

Hi all,

It's been a long time, I've missed GP Bikes a lot. Didn't mean to drop off the earth for so long. I've missed using GP Bikes with DST so much!! I haven't had the best last couple years. Some of you may remember I am a little person with a bone disease Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.) in a wheelchair, bones break easy. I broke my right leg at my hip twice beginning of 2016. My aunt, grandmother and my sisters long time cat which was like her child all past away. Another sisters husband had a heart attack. I put on weight for some reason the summer of 2016 which no one can explain, since it was random and nothing had changed. So it got harder to hold the controller to use GP Bikes, in the way I like to play. The end of 2016 and the first half of 2017 my dad was in and out of the hospital.

In October I had bad accident coming out of a resturant with my dad and younger sister. It was bright from the setting sun. Driving my chair around someone holding the door, I miss judged. Couldn't tell the different in height between the curb and the parking lot. My first reaction to the chair falling was my chair is to light, a second later I fell, my chair went off the curb sideways. Hitting the parking lot with me kind of bouncing a little hitting the ground on my left side. My sister and dad got to me in seconds, I had her roll my over and I was still seat belted, unseat belt me. Everything on me hurt, had a hard time breathing. I did a assessment to myself telling my sister. I had broken my left lower arm, my left leg at my knee was broken, I knew I broke some rips on the left side. And I did something to my back. A woman from inside the restaurant which was a respiratory therapist came out to help my steady my breathing and keep me calm. Police and Ambulance was there in minutes (Police happened to be driving by) Looking back at it after I was able to tell my sister what was wrong I think I went in to shock, my memory starts going what happened next. I got to a close hospital where I live, I was over medicated with pain killers (Opiods don't with for me, they don't get rid of pain) I was there 7 hours or so as I was told. They said I was sleeping, I was then moved to another hospital. Where my specialist doctors are, about 45 minutes away. By the time I got to the second hospital ER, they tried to wake me. My sister tells me, with in a minute I was rushed to a trauma bay, and had 20 people working. I was going in to respiratory arrest. They asked my sister and she said yes to put my on a ventilator. My lungs were start to no longer taking in air for me.

I woke up 2 days later, on a ventilator. Using my sisters phone to draw and later type out words. I ask where was on, I remember what happened the fall. Just nothing after that. Then she told told me. I had broke both bones in my left lower arm, clean through, I broke several ribs on the left side. I broken my left leg above the knee and my knee got hurt. And I fractured T9 in my back. I was on the ventilator for 6 days, was in ICU Trauma / Burn for 3 weeks. My left lung clasped, had to get a chest tube to drain the fluids building up in my chest. Got a blood clot at my left leg break. Had to be given blood because of bleeding from T9. My lung was re-inflated.

I ended up having a back brace, a leg brace, and a arm brace. I looked like a partial Star Wars storm trooper. lol Had the back brace on for 3 months, got a projector so I could watch movies on my ceiling. lol Leg brace for 3 and half months. Arms brace for 4. I lost a lot of feeling in my left hand. I can use to fine just can feels things like I use to. My left arm and leg are still really weak, arm more so.

While I was in ICU my dad had to have emergency surgery. Since a previous hernia surgery healing got infect. Because he ripped it when my chair fell. My 75 year old dad lifted my couple hundred pound chair in one go to put in back on it's wheels. After I was out of it laying on the ground.

In February I got sick, and since my lungs had been through and my body was still weak I got RSV. Which is a lung respitory virus which usually effects little kids and old people. I was in the hospital a week in ICU again. Also on a ventilator for a day and a half. But this time I was able agree and say old myself.

And through all of it my little sister never left my side.

I've been trying to recover since Mid-November. I still have a lot of pains, but I'm much better. Hopefully I'll be around more. And reteach myself DST numb hand included.

Just missed GP Bikes, and the forum a lot. I'm still here!

Lately, for some reason Windows Defender keeps removing my GP Bikes "core.exe" saying it has a virus on it. When I download a brand new one from the website and install it. It will remove it again even before I can use it. It just recently started doing this. :/

I'm using Windows 10.

Things have been going fine, then a couple a days ago something weird happened. I can no longer hit ESC, it doesn't let me quit out from the track and go back to the pits. I have to force quit GP Bikes. So I can't save any replays, or make any adjustments. I've also noticed at the same time this happened my controls for throttle and front brake are now locked together in the same axis. Even with Xinput in place. I've tried the ingame XBoxOne profile and made a custom one. Doesn't seem to matter. Everything was working before without problem. Only thing I did was install the new Beta of the MotoGP Ducati. But even stand bikes do the samething.

On another note, I've noticed since Beta 8, Win10 keeps asking me for Admin rights for GP Bikes folder. So it doesn't save anything in to the folder, I have to drag things to it to get them to save or update

I noticed a bug in beta 8 on the first person dash of the 990, if I select through from RPM to speed, the digits for RPM will stay on. But the first 3 will turn in to speed, but the last three will be the RPM frozen on the dash.

In the current version it says a new feature is knee collision and knee slider sound. Collision I have seen, but I have yet to hear knee slider sound. Which would be very useful for DST. Am I missing something that I can't seem to hear it?

Can we have anti wheelie control adjustments while riding please in Beta 8

Merry Christmas Piboso, and thank you for making your sim's!

Like how it shows a dash even if a virtual one. Wish we had more bikes with working dashes that gave more information. Obviously they took out what gear he is in. lol

I'm back,

Been on a trip for the last 5-6 days. Take me a bit to catch up on the forums.

[How the Red Bull Air Race Pylons Work]

I'm a fan of racing, not to much on oval track. HATE NASCAR!

I've been watching Red Bull Air Racing World Championship, and I thought it would be cool if one day. To see Piboso make his version of it. I know he has a lot of sim's already, and I love him and want him to keep going strong!. For me I was in to flying sim's long before racing ones. Some time in the mid '80's. Since it was much easier for me to using a joystick / HOTAS then a steering wheel physically. So eventually when Sony made the first thumb sticks it was great for me for racing.

Here is my first Video using the editor built in to GTAV, this was taken of my using one of my online Characters, online using a solo server. Just kind of learning the editor.

Thought this was a pretty cool picture.

I know this is a little thing but every race we have two or three guys calling each other gay back and forth, then drawing pictures of penis. :/ It's just annoying. When your trying to read if anyone has suggestions or a setup to try.

I've noticed on some tracks the bike will leave the ground, Nordschleife on the long straight you will jump. I've notice though the bikes back wheel doesn't want to leave the ground very easy. Tracks like Caldwell Park, on the "jump" section the bike will just pop a big wheelie and flip over. So I have to slow down, since the jump area is at a turn. The back wheel doesn't want to go off the ground. Not saying I want to be Evel Knievel lol, but it seems like the rear tire is hard pop off the ground when going at speed, especially when the bike is at any kind of lean angle.

Is it DST? Watching BSB at Caldwell (on YouTube) seeing the air time, then in GP Bikes riding the track the bikes just want to flip over. Is it the track? Or the sim itself, the front tire will get light very easy the back doesn't.

In the newest version of Kart Pro, I've tried it with my DK2, I was wondering when GP Bikes gets this feature, could we make it so the 3rd Person HUD that you can show even in Helmet view, can we have a option of which side to display it? The reason I asked is. For me personally I have a scar on the lens of my right eye. I got it when I was 15 or so. No clue how I got it, so needless to say I can't see much out of that eye, or can't read with it. Scar is RIGHT on the spot I need. lol So when I used my Rift DK2 with Kart Pro, the HUD, but it's on the eye I can't see with. lol. Maybe a option to select which side of the screen you'd prefer?

Made have it so a plugin can show on screen the relative position of other riders when on track. Could be used for MaxHUD track map.

I am more thinking of in iRacing, you can only race from cockpit view, and there is no "Look Behind" view, other then the mirrors and a virtual fish eye mirror. What you do have is a option to have on the screen a small window that gives relative positions of other racers on track in time separation between you and them. It displays 5 racers, with you in the middle and the time separations for two ahead and two behind. This is very useful to know if someone is in your blind spot.

Also very useful when you go off the track and are going back on you can see your position in time so you don't pull out right in front of someone. So in GP Bikes when we fall we can know when is the best time to reset the bike so we don't appear right in front of someone else.

Now this option could just be data GP Bikes can sends out, it doesn't have to default display it. Just a option for Plugin makers to be able to show it.

I ride in helmet view only and there is countless times even looking back I can't see anyone, or I can't hear them either. Yet they are right in my blind spot. Where a relative time position would tell me someone is there, it wouldn't tell me what side they are on.

Also maybe a separate FOV for the looking back view when in helmet view. So you can adjust it a little higher when looking back. So I may have it at 75 looking forward, and 90 when looking back.

Was thinking if in a future version could we have a camera that goes off riders times to frame the riders on screen for replays. What I mine is if we have Bike 1, is riding alone with no one around then that bike would be in the middle of the screen in replays. But if Bike 2, and Bike 3 are running close together the camera would zoom out slightly to frame both bikes on screen? Kind of a smart zoom that goes off times between bikes to zoom in and out. So if one bike is coming up on another, or a group of other bikes. The camera would zoom out enough to be able to have all the bikes on the screen in the camera shot. Still zooming in and out as the bikes go by.

I was thinking it would be nice of the reset button could also be used when on the garage or timing screen to put you back in the pits and on track.
