1  UKGPL / General / Re: Linux mint Cinamon for GPL on: Yesterday at 10:47:14 PM
2009 Petteri Pajunen had made the 60fps patches and had made the FFB2 patch, get it at the fastlane
Most of the online driver use it ( there is also a test version of a FFB3 wich was never released...)

From the readme:
Quote
This patch is intended to improve the GPL force feedback in terms of minimizing latency and removing everything but the direct feedback of forces from the physics engine. Those who prefer the ffb to have damping, centering, and other forces not derived from the car physics will find this patch less useful.

For best results, use with the 60fps patch which already reduces ffb latency and improves ffb accuracy by updating the forces more frequently.

Removing all damping makes forces more harsh, but at the same time more accurate. Your wheel may react very violently, so under any circumstances don't ignore the advice given in this README. Trying the patch is completely your own choice, and the responsibility is yours as well. If it does not work for you, just use the original ffb.

Of course, as you drive the 67s with the old tyre model you need higher FFB.
Are you using the FFB2 patch?

Test reducing the refresh rate of the monitor to 60fps as gpl will sync to it and linux mint has built-in vsync.

My best settings in my CSL DD wheel (8nm) are all the forces to 100% and all gimmicks to zero, the FFB set in GEM+ to 450 -550 depending wich mod.
This prevents you from clipping in long corners. read this thread: https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/27925/setting-up-the-max-torque-suggestions-dont-seem-right
Yes, the linux USB system is a little different to MS - I do allways put the wheel in the main USB2 ports for mouse or KB Wink

Great it works!

Fanatec driver = hid-fanatecff-next?

Is this your native monitor resolution?
Have you tried to set the HQ resolution here:

I'm sorry to have missed this. I reckon that I could have sneaked in that gap and taken 2nd from Yannick.  Roll Eyes

NP for GPL as it computes minimum a 1/10000 sec difference

ps
have you tested the different modes in GEM+ "graphic settings" like Z-buffer trilinear filtering... ?

Yes, the AMD linux driver is good for the more recent games like AC or AMS2, but it is missing a gui for the old GPL wich is not able to set the graphics ingame.
You cannot set AA or AF in game what makes for the NV the big difference.

I have given up my testing AMD graphics, as a tiny NV GPU makes it better than 10hours tweaking an AMD card (my own experience!)
for an AMD fanboy from the first Athlon CPU and ATI GPUs it is frustrating, as long they made a proprietary linux CCC driver I was happy.
There are solutions to set the GPU modes by commands - maybe a better linux coder can make a shell script one day...

Tbh it's the same with intel and NVidia open source drivers, no gui to tweak...

Yes this is a challenge to run a 26 year old software today especially for a new linux user.

Sorry for your troubles, but I have no idea why you all could not join  Roll Eyes

I still suspect that GEM+ did not set your .exe to normal not AT mode...
Try again now I restarted the server for the next hour Roll Eyes

Had you tried before the race to connect to the server in the afternoon?

Yes, the rear end jumps 1m in the air when you start to brake down from 200mph...

This CPU will idle running GPL, as wine (like w10) does not recognize it as a 3D app... so you have to set it in performance mode  Wink

Mint uses the same Ubuntu/mint wine version as it is mentioned there so no risk. I had mentioned the 6.03 because the 7+8 had lost the FFB we need. 9 works for me!

Your AMD APU is so new that wine6 can not know it...

installing the recent wine-devel includes the uninstall, so no problem Wink

I use 6 mint PCs for all purposes so I know it. But mint is very conservative with new hardware and drivers.

Manjaro is the rolling OS with the latest kernels and drivers, so I think it better supports your RAM and APU.
The desktop can be the same cinamon or XFCE - it is free so only time invested to test it...
11  UKGPL / General / Re: Linux mint Cinamon for GPL on: April 16, 2024, 02:43:28 AM +0100
The problem is the AMD iGPU wich does not support our openGL version.
It can be pushed by CoreCtrl to bring better fps with D3Dx https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
The cpu can be pushed in performance mode by cpupower-gui
For this recent AMD hardware you must use the last kernel 6.5 for mint

alternatives

Try the WineHQ.org recent wine-devel install via terminal (ubuntu)

Another OS is manjaro wich uses the newest kernel 6.8 but the standard AMD iGPU support is also minimal
ps
Fun fact - a passive NV GT1030 for my office pc runs GPL in all its glory...

Hey gents, can I fix this?
https://ibb.co/wWNSBk7


Go into GEM+ season manager and remove some tracks out of the season67.ini as some old installer do not accept more than 64 tracks, then the install works

This will be a lap to cool down and concentrate on the race start - as in RL Wink

UKGPL Season 44 - 1966 Can-Am -  Bathurst - Apr 16


The 6th race in the CanAm 66 series finds us at Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Bathurst, a motor racing track located in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. It is best known as the home of the Bathurst 12 Hour motor race, held each February, and the Bathurst 1000 motor race, held each October. The track is 6.213 km (4 mi) long, and is technically a street circuit, as the circuit is a public road when no racing events are being run, and there are many residences which can only be accessed from the circuit. The track is an unusual design by modern standards, with a 174-metre (570-foot) vertical difference between its highest and lowest points, and grades as steep as 1:6.13. From the start-finish line, the track can be viewed in three sections; the short pit straight and then a tight left turn into the long, steep Mountain straight; the tight, narrow section across the top of the mountain itself; and then the long, downhill section of Conrod Straight, and the turn back onto pit straight to complete the lap.


Please check the Season 44 details regarding rules and the 1966 Can-Am Championship pages in particular.

You have to "drive each car once!"
Only one Shift-R is allowed !!!


As it has shown too difficult to remember for some driver where to start, we make it easy for the rest of the season.

Full 1st Lap ROLLING START

We do a ~100mph (160kmh) rolling, one line, full first Lap to the Start line !
No passing before the start line!
The polesetter is not allowed to slow down between the last corner and start line.

A DQ is the result for ignoring

Please READ CAREFULLY THE RULES :

A driver must cross the start line in order to register the use of a chassis, participation in qualifying is not sufficient.
Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents carry an extra 1 place penalty.
Drivers must complete 50% race distance to score.
MOD INT - only One Shift-R is allowed with no need to make Stop & Go
Only reported incidents will be moderated.
Please, excepting emergencies, no chat until Session Completed in qualification. No chat in the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

Thanks Clive, Phil and Dave  for organizing this Joe Shaw Memorial Trophy.

I was lucky that this years mode fell absolutely in my likings, I could drive a ChapE on 2 fluent tracks Grin

It was a pleasure to drive with Beefpie - and it is a pleasure to race with you in his memorial race.
