Very interrsting, I have to try these. Can you tell me whst you meant by the first line (divided by 0.7)? Do you mean you divided everysingle value in the realfeel.ini file (around 8 or 9 values) by 0.7 and you also changed steer force output and steer force grip weight in the controller.ini file to the values above?

Only MaxForceAtSteeringRack was divided. Do note that currently I'm using overall "profiler" strength of 100% (to minimize deadzone) which affects the overall result... The latter two were changed to above values. Oh, and to get the "real" clipping free MaxForceAtSteeringRack-value one should use Motec (will do it later).

Spinelli said:
Do you use FFB on low? I guess damper, friction, steer force output and steer force grip weight from the controller.ini file still play a role in FFB even when FFB is set to low?

It's on low, and I edited the values just in case (placebo).

Is there a guide somewhere to doing that?

Dunno, but there's a Motec channel for steering force, and the max value for it (after a clean fast lap) is the value for Realfeelplugin.

Jyri Kettunen · Sep 5, 2015

Just tested at Bathurst. Maximum Steering Arm Force (N) is 8584 @ max G lat force. That's almost 2 and half times higher than the default MaxForceAtSteeringRack-value. A lot of clipping with the latter!

GSCE is great but I have a problem with the super v8s. With 18 opponents the fps is really bad. I have no problem with the other cars. Framerate ist set to 120fps.

Turn off your mirrors, if you get 3x more fps there is the problem. Reduce its resolution then, Reiza stock mirror is just too big

Gladi8or · Sep 5, 2015

Does not help. Something is wrong with the car. Same thing happened with the f-vee some time a go. Reiza fixed it.

Frapp Lee · Sep 5, 2015

Well,

I know it seems unlikely, but, I'm pretty sure GSC sync did do a number on my hard drive. I don't install anything that isn't necessary on my C drive, I have a separate drive[E:] for "add-ons". On that hard drive, I have separate folders for different programs, ie a folder named "Flight" for flight sims, "Racing" for driving sims etc... After all the trouble I had with GSC sync, I got locked out of the "Racing" folder - inaccessible because a file is "corrupted or unreadable". All my different rF installs, GTR2, GPL, GTL, GP4, NR2003 GP500 etc... Everything, anything with my name and an executable, I got locked out of. As we all know, getting some of those older titles to run on win 7 can be a chore. That folder named Racing represented years worth of time and effort. Bye, bye! Opening anything on the E drive took forever after running GSC sync. I was however, still able to do so. As stated in one of my earlier posts, I couldn't enter my computer in safe mode. I also mentioned that every time I started my "confuzer" something else was amiss. I didn't mention extremely long load times on start up, nor did I mention that after the windows splash screen finished it went to disk check. So this morning, when the whole E drive became inaccessible, I opened my case and unplugged it. Guess what? I was able to enter safe mode and my load times were lightning fast as they had been before. GSC sync was the only thing I did before all these problems started.

Look, I love GSCEx - I donated. Once I get things sorted, I look forward to being able to run a SuperV8 at Montreal. I will continue to sing the praises of GSC. But this is not user error, as this sort of thing most times is.

If anyone has the time, patience and skills, would you help me to recover, or direct me to a tutorial about how to recover the data from the affected hard drive? As you can see, I am less than thrilled about the prospects of reformatting the whole shooting match. I would be happy to take any advice by PM so as not to take up forum space with this issue.

Keep up the good work Reiza! Seriously! I bear no hard feelings - things happen. That's why they are called confuzers.

FraPP!!!

Renato Simioni · Sep 6, 2015

Frapp, why not give the Steam install a go? At the very least it would confirm where or not there is some issue with v1.38 in your system, or if it´s just an issue with its manual installation. Drop me a PM if you´re interested giving that a go.

Get a linux bootable cd or usb... I'm using puppy linux on regular basis, just for such emergencies. No need to write commands and stuff, its easy to use.
http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview and Getting Started.htm
If its just windows pathing issue, linux will access the hard-drive without problem and you can transfer everything... If linux cant access it propetly... that means the hard-drive is most likely dying or at the least needs to be formatted completely. Just try to transfer all you can to another harddrive.

Is your E drive separate drive or a partition? How old is it?

I can understand completely, sadly I have suffered a similar disaster... then I learned (the hard way) to create backups. As you noted the value of the data can't be measured.

I would get a new hard disk immediately and try to copy the failed HD's data as suggested. There are many things that could be the root of the issue, but leave that investigation until after you recover your stuff.

Are you sure the drive (E) is the problem? Can you plug it into another system, or maybe try an external USB housing.

Since the new update, my wheel is no longer recognized (G27). Nothing happens when I try to assign inputs nothing happens.

Delete the *.PSH files too, they should not be there.

I use steam for updates, and if I go to the shared folder and delete the *.psh files, then click "Verify integrity of the game cache", they return.
Which means they are part of a default steam install.

@Reiza Studios
Since when it launched the "Marcas", then with "Opalas 86" and now with "SV8" the paintings of cars are becoming brighter. In the latter I was even more disappointed. And it's nothing with my settings because the other categories look like before.
