Found some stuff on the net (if you are law enforcement I didn't). Some 3d bike models and a digital tutors lesson on bike modeling, a Ducati Monster. I have tried to do some my self, the classic Ducati Sports model (I love old school café shit) but unfortunately I suck at 3d max. I'm not suggesting that you "steal" the models right off, but they might help in some way... maybe. It's a gift, take it or leave it.

As it is now, the lowest you can set it is 25%. With my home made bastard of a device http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=1544.0, it is a bit to violent. I know it only helps with the front tyre feel, and not with the rear slides, but it would be nice to have a hint of what's going on under the handlebars. Is it possible to have the force scale from 1% to 100% or are there some technical limitations that dictates that 25% must be the lowest? Also, is it possible to implement force feedback that also gives you more SOP-feeling (seat of the pants) so you also have some indication of when the rear starts to slide (like in car sims)?

Got inspired by Suzuka8H, which I covered live on Twitter (long 8h night stint  ). Shame we don't have the latest R1-model, but this one will do for now. Credit and thanks also goes to Davide74, I used his excellent Valentino carbon TT-skin as a base.

Anybody tried this? Could it work with GP-Bikes... although you do look like an idiot with a phone on your head

Can you guys help me? Used the Chaz Davies paint (tanx to original maker btw) as base for my own. As you can see it has a see through windscreen. I just changed the top of the number (to 46) and re-saved the "plexi" file. What am I doing wrong? Ps: had the same issue with the GP12, but it looked so good with the smoked screen I didn't mind. But on this one I like to have a see through one... and it's good to know the reason for future paints...

Anybody else having this problem? Game crashes 1 to 3 laps in, every time. Almost never have core at any other track but at Brno it's pretty much guaranteed. Same problem on both regular and NDS version (0..

Is it somewhere and I've missed it? Or is someone working on one?

I had some personal issues which meant I did not finish the Barcelona round up on time. But if you still want to read it, you can find it here:

There is something fishy with NC - Mugello, both the regular and the NDS version. I get core.exe on the 1-3 lap every time, at pretty much the exact same place! It happens in the middle off the short straight between Borgo San Lorenzo (5) and Casanova (6). Has anybody else had the same problem? Any ideas about why it happens?

[Update] Can now also confirm that the same problem occurs on the straight between Poggio Secco (3) and Materassi (4).

A lot of you guys are praising the superbikes handling, but to be honest, I can't find the sweet spot. For example, I keep dropping the rear when I shut of the trottle in a corner (even in the fast ones). It's like the closing of the throttle moves all the weight to the front, and that causes the rear to completly loose traction. I'm also having problems with "tank slappers" when changing gears and under hard accelerations. Could ypu guys give me some settings your happy with so I can try to see if I can imptove the handling? I've tried to play around with the settings my self but I'm not getting any good results.

Looking forward to #MotoGP in #LeMans? Here is a little something to get you in the mood. Recap of Jerez, update on Hanika penalty and Paolo Ciabatti explaining exactly what happened with Iannone at the start of the race.
