How is it in GPBikes?

Believe me the difference with gearing for the steering makes it so much quicker and more precise.

Glad your enjoying it bro

Hi teeds. Good to see your having fum m8.

I notice in the video that your steering is off, between the handlebar controls and the bike on screen it looks like there is a lag from the input to the bike on screen. What is your steering input devise? ie is it a potentiometer, if so is it with gearing? What are you using to connect you system to the computer? In GPBikes Alpha 7 there was a lag in control input if you were not using direct steer. Try playing with settings for the controller. Let me know the basics and I think I can help you get a faster and more precise setup. Keep up the great work m8.

Thankyou for the quick update m8

DD

Thanks so much m8. Brilliant work!!!!

I often get core crashes when I change bikesin offline!!! MANY times most bikes and its fresh install of all.

Thanks m8. Great race on a tight track.

Hi BOBR

Cant help with the fairings as just got back in UK so dont really know where to look. I got all mine new from Sharkskins but I know Tucker Rocky in USA does cheap new kits check them out.

I have been planning on hydaulics from the begining but its expensive. Now with 3D printing in the works I have a few ideas to play with. The new Nylon printing material allows a lot of new and stronger type of design.

Nice but pricey and looks like a bike on an ironing board lol

I thought mine were and in someways are expencive and thats why l am redesigning it ALL. The biggest cost is the full system with a real Sharkskins CBR1000RR racing body for real bikes!!! But that was for EBay Motors and they got the cash lol.

I dont want to hijack the post guys so I would rather we keep it in topic with davidboda46 if its okay with him as it is to do with all who are interested in real controls. Heres his link.

But to quickly answer the questions:

Footrests on their own stand adjust for hieght. The seat on the sit-on systems adjusts for hieght, so it also adjusts for leg length yes.

I am just setting up from being in the USA for 18 years so have to calculete for UK prices of materials and components. I also have to totally re-price because the new systems the "HS1 Fullthrottle" impliments 3D printing and I am looking at using Nylon for strength but its too new to be able to get precise pricing on yet. It will take some testing first.

Sorry to the thread again, dont shoot me lol

Keep it sunny side up

Hi to davidboda46

I hope you dont mind mate but as you started a thread about real controls it seems natural to redirect posts on real controls from other posts here. This way we can all help each other.

REal sweet mota rodney. I love cars too so its off topic, l do it too lol, but its still good to see such talented workmanship even if its not a bike.

AS BOBR said, some old gixxers and CBR's would be coooool beans baby. Or for a special class Z1300 and CBX, the old 6 cylinder monsters for the wannabebigboys lol. (Used to ride both!!!)

Keep up the great work and dont stess.

Keep it sunny side up

Hi Max

Yes modders cooperation (sharing the work on creating a new bike or track) is important. Everyone says "Isle of Man" and some out there are trying to do it, but the quality of the track is bad due to its size, these guys are doing a great job making the track, but it takes so much work to get it right, they have little time for the graphics, so the track looks like a game from a commadore64 (which I use to work on lol) and IMO it means that there is no visual pleasure on the track. In order to feel like your riding a bike down the road your brain wants to see it. I dont use the tracks like this as it makes me feel like lm in a GAME, no fun for me at all. Its not the modders fault, he is working hard but he needs some help from others to do the graphics. This is an example so please to the modders of the TT track, your work is great, but as Max said you could do with help to get it done. I hope I have worded this in a way that makes that point clear.

More cooperative modding is needed to help ease the workloadon modders.

My hat off to each and everyone of you modders. THANK YOU

Hi cdx

Got your PM by the way.

It will be interesting to see as time goes by and a few tubes and more info on the Ride come out. Its a shame the one video from Italy the guy just rode one bike on the same track all the time, but thats Milestones quality thinking lol. I have most bike games for PC as I have to test them and the OLD SBK was okay as a game but the biggest downfall of most bike games is the fact that they wont even allow you to setup the controller unless its an XBOX360 pad, and we live in a modern world. I hope that they allow all types of controllers for the Ride as they said they would for MotoGP13 and never did. I even have the ISR show where Milestone told Darin Ganji that it would support wheel systems too and it dont!!!

Maybe the Ride will be a surprise, guess we wait and see.

Im a wee bit scared of going to SlightlyMad but it has to be done, you never know until you try. I am pretty good when it comes to putting ideas into peoples heads lol.

I have to agree that it would be best if someone who make car sims added bikes to a good one, THE CREW looks pretty well set up for that, what you think guys, THE CREW ON BIKES??? I just like the chance to not be bound by barriers and walls like in TDU2. Biggest minus for the bikes in TDU was no clutch to use!!! Will The Ride have a working clutch??? Gotta say its one of the best bits about real controls, blipping the throttle, grabbing a handfull and dumping the clutch!!!

Once again Id like to say sorry for hijacking the thread earlier I just wanted to answer a few questions about controllers and why most bike games lack good control over the bike. Thanks to all for being patient with me.

Keep it sunny side up

DD

No problem mate lol. We all do it once in a while.

DD

I have to agree with grimm in his last post.

And really, if you dont like the bike dont ride it dude.

DD

i think you are on a personal campaign on rodney, dont know why and what he did to you.
and with your method you have liekely prevented some bikes to be released. thanks for that mate!
my 2 cents

Sorry JJ think I wrote it wrong I was sticking up for Rodney making MODS not against him.
