The links have to be updated. The recent cars are not compatible to the last release.

Try the following revision:
http://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc...athrev=486

Select a car folder, then "Download GNU tarball".

thanK you.

it's great works.



I have 3 questions:

1) in ubuntu.fr it's writed : It's possible to play Vdrift on lan or Ipdirect.
how have to do to play lan ? :
I don't see lan game.

2) It's very hard to drive correctly :
the cars turn smoly left or right, or they're slide more and spin.
Isn't à just midle?
Isn't possible to have a more happy control : more turn cars and more adherence, and less slide ?

3) transform Mph in Km/h?

in ubuntu.fr it's writed : It's possible to play Vdrift on lan or Ipdirect.

Not with vdrift 2009-06-15 I think.

It's very hard to drive correctly

Are you playing with analog controller or keyboard?
Enable TCS/ABS, adjust Speed Effect on Steering, Button Delay.
Modify car parameters (.car file) http://wiki.vdrift.net/Car_parameters

transform Mph in Km/h?

Options -> Display -> Use Mph Speed Units

Thank,

I have one analogic Whell Logitech Formula EAX

i have adjusted sped effect to 50 %
and adlust max angle steering in .car to 45 : it's good for race.

But in big turn : when I press handbrake : I have'nt no effect.

when I press handbrake : I have'nt no effect.

Open file data/cars/XX/XX.car in a text editor (where XX is the car name). Find the line that is something like "handbrake=1.0" and multiply the value by a factor of 2. Save the file, reload VDrift, see if your new value works, adjust as necessary. :-)

:oops:

handbrake work unicaly for CS car.

other car not works.

If I up handbrake number : it's no work more.

on CS.car I have :

[ brakes-rear ]

friction = 1.13

max-pressure = 2.0e6

bias = 0.57

radius = 0.14

area = 0.015

handbrake = 1.0

I have writing the same value for other car :
for a few car it's work, other it's not work.

:oops:

I think there has been a bug in the handbrake calculation. Joe fixed it in r2583.

Handbrake now applies only to the wheels that are set for it in the .car file, as originally intended.

Sylvain_07 are you interested in testing the latest version? Check out the trunk and give it a try. http://wiki.vdrift.net/Compiling
