Yes it has a arduino leonardo controlling it, which is overkill for the job but it was the only one i had at the time with built in HID, it uses a hall censor and a magnet to get analog feedback and a strong spring for tension, and yes it has its own usb cable, i have thought about making a metal one to replace it, but it works so well its very low on my list of prioritiesspothedog said:
So the handbrake can be plugged in to usb and doesn't need to be plugged into wheel base. Nice job on your handbrake looks good and the price is right :#human1101 said:my wooden one cost me about $12 here is what it looks like, sadly cant embed images from google photos for some reason https://goo.gl/photos/RSkh69o7o8VaLPhV8 as you can see its had alot of use
Ive never messed with Hall effect senors before, how do you have that setup? Is it the closer the magnet to the sensor that gives the analog output? I always thought it was just a on/off output.
nice work BTW
i may have to try that with a nano -
@Rallycameraman you know this makes me happyRallycameraman said:In all seriousness though, I wasn't there for fun and games I actually had a serious job to do, so it's a shame today got cut a little short.
I won't say too much about my time behind the wheel, but I will say that I think everyone will love the Michigan location. I know it got a bit of a slating when it was announced, but it's such a fast high speed location, it's a really intense but enjoyable challenge.

Is your licensing to high? Maybe you could ask for less? :wink:Rallycameraman said:No, unfortunately I or my rally car will not be appearing in the game. -
It would be awesome to have some control over drones. even if its just height and a little L/R F/B no flying off to where ever, just a little bit of control. Actually with this alone, there could be so many awesome shots, it would be like Your Road for the camera :).bogani said:
As I've understood there will be more replay options, one that does not switch automatically and that is focusing on road side cams.gfRally said:** Caution ** Time to whine about replays **Caution **
After all we know about D4 and replays, it sounds like it is getting a little better than DR.
The one thing that I just plain hate is the switch to internal from a spectator view with most crashes. Why does this happen, and with improved, well crashes in D4, I hope the switching will no longer happen. Seems to have been around since D2. If I have missed something after all this time, please correct me.
Just thought I would vent after playing DR today. Looking forward to D4 no matter what happens :)
That said, I think I'll enjoy the onboards more this time with 1:1 steering animation :)
Imagine placing the drone at ground level with car passing over head (or thru, I don't care) or that perfect turn/drift on a hairpin from 90deg overhead. -
Via facebook, I see that @Rallycameraman walked into Codies 1hr ago.KevM said:What will you be having @Rallycameraman talk about in his interview @KickUp ?
Will we see the video this friday?

@Rallycameraman Its going to take more than a shave, Luke. There is a reason that you are BEHIND a camera :) :) :)Azoresst said:

Does the FIA think anything thru? Add 70+ hp, lots of aero grip... complain they are too fast on stage. Ok they are going REALLY fast now, I don't think there has been a speed related incident in Sweden -

If only we could bring back Group B rally with these pedestrians (they never die, they just run and dive). I could only imagine 30 of these in front of you running as you drive (through? eek) -
Simple answer to everything. Get the fastest gfx card you can afford, i5 cpu. 16 gb ram (debatable 8or16). Everything else is a bonus for what you have left... ssd, etcspothedog said:So if I'm looking into having a PC built DR requirements would be ok? I'm a little PC challenged so any suggestion are welcome. -
In case anyone was wondering, here are some of the RL stages in Michigan:
This one is a bit wider

Fairly narrow parts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYtqFHEewbA
There are some really rough ones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGzaGupA1Bc
These are all from Lake Superior Performance Rally, in Houghton Michigan, its one of the National Events.
DiRT3 used the rather famous Quincy Mine in the town, there has never been a Rally stage at that site. Similarly the concrete towers that you race around in D3, is a former Nike/Apache missile defense system that is spread around the country in the 50's (in case the Soviets flew planes with Nukes into the country, scary times then), again as far as I know there are none of these in the RL stages there. Of course this made the stages more interesting in D3.

Already preparing for it! :smiley:KickUp said:
You can unbind the handbrake if you want to roleplay being Michèle Mouton :pAreyouben said:
If I understand correctly, the problem is not the connection from the wheels to the gearbox/engine (if so, clutch would have solved it indeed) but rather the fact that the front and rear wheels are connected. So as soon as you would pull the handbrake all four wheels would stop, as the fronts would be connected to the rears. I think.SirPhilMcKraken said:Put me in my place if need be but why would you not be able to use the handbrake if you press the clutch?
I would imagine the handbrake in the DiRT tech has a strength variable, or at least some way to disable it. Would be cool if the B cars have no handbrake at least in the simulator mode. -
@KickUp. Thanks dude, this is shaping up to be really cool. Can't wait to make some spectacular videos with all this. -
@KickUp here's a question that I haven't seen much about: With Your Stage are there still different areas of the same location other than say just picking Australia or Wales and generates from that area, or do we have the option to pick different areas (forest, desert.. etc) Australia. I mean places with names, not generic like desert, exactly. If im being clear. -
Any sport is better when their is no clear winner or dominate team. Although its someones job, ultimately sports are here for entertainment.Dytut said:Hope Citroën can step it up. Craig Breen's post rally interview says it all, the car just isn't as good as it should be. Hope they can dial it in and fix whatever it is that's not quite right.
But Latvala.. He really showed that the Yaris can be fast today. I wonder if Neuville would've been able to keep up with his pace today. Looking real interesting for the championship. But I do hope that Neuville manages to bring home some podium places now so that he can get in the championship. A fourway fight between Neuville, Ogier, Tänak and Latvala would be great for the sport.

someone needs to keep a sticky post with all of the info @KickUp has posted/answered so far.

Thanks for the help, guys. I figured out WRC+ btw, the layout isnt the best, but I understand now, i'm doing monthly sub, ill keep it a couple months and see -
Ok, first year with WRC+ and I am a bit confused. Im in the USA (if you don't know by now) and right now it is showing live stages are still and hour away from streaming. Very little info on for today Saturday, other than maps.
Where are you guys getting your info from? Videos? Youtube channel? Or just twitter, till things are posted up on WRC+?
All these years, I've used youtube highlights as my info, besides this board. This year I'm trying to follow it day by day now. -
Deleted for massive typos from using phone, will revise when im home. -
Im in love with the sound. Looks? Hey, im not that shallow, its the personality that counts. ;)tbtstt said:Pleasantly surprised by the pace of the Toyota: as a car that many (including myself!) thought was underdeveloped, it doesn't seem to be lacking pace in the snow.
Six stages in and it's looking close at the front: great stuff!
sometimes i even cry at movies.
Fast and furios movies make me cry... they are so awful, lol -
I can see PSVR as a whole doing well. However the Vive/Occulus, I think are having a hard time.
There is quite an investment in the headset $500 + is just beyond that threshold for many, also you have to have a decent PC to run it properly. BestBuy over here isn't selling much and they are taking their Occulus Demo stations out of some stores, due to lack of interest, but I think that is BestBuy's fault, appointments to try???? really??
I really really want this tech to take off, but its once again the chicken/egg syndrome between dev support and headset sales. -
Really? Its THAT good @Rallycameraman ? I 've never tried VR since it seems so low res, used brother-in-law's GearVR it was nice, but I have no baseline for a PC game.Rallycameraman said:
Try and get a VR headset. It's bloody awesome. Closes you'll get to the feeling of the real thingJepsertti said:So jealous of you all who are able to drive rally in real life. Being a poor student, this image describes my current situation in terms of rally driving:

Now that's seriously cool they asked about that! Perks of having Paul in the car I guess :DAzoresst said:Just saw this one now, nice interview to read:
https://twitter.com/Kick_Up/status/829395500621320208
But the most interesting question, IMO, was this one:
LMSA : Will you model Luke Harvey’s Peugeot 106 GTI in DiRT 4? Do you have any future projects as co-driver or as driver ?
PC : Sadly not, we have introduced the Peugeot 205 GTI as there are probably more of those used in junior competitions than the 106. I’m hoping to do some more co driving with Luke or Jon Tucker later this year or early in 2018. Hopefully I can get a few more finishes because I’m hoping to upgrade to an International FIA Navigator license soon.
Sadly we won't see @Rallycameraman Peugeot, but @KickUp plans for the International FIA Navigator license sounds awesome!
hoping he'll be back in with me for a rally in May :)
Serious rally cred, there, Luke :)
DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

Posted
I posted some videos back on page 779 if your interested too.
and here are the stage maps via rally-maps.com
https://www.rally-maps.com/Lake-Superior-Performance-Rally-LSPR-2015
Unfortunately this isn't one of the more unique locations in American rally. There are a few that are more picturesque. No matter Your Stage should put together some routes for us to race.
@Rallycameraman btw: are the stages a little narrow? I hope some are or can be with YS. Are they even closet to the pick and videos we've posted?
