  Thanks for the suggestions, I'd already decided on Hemi Head for my number but I found something good for the other stuff.

  @PensiveDolphin Cool I'll take a look at it soon. LOD stands for level of detail. Typically games will have a few models at different resolutions that will swap out at further distances to lessen the load on the GPU.

  I'll take a look at the texture mapping and try to give some tips.

  For the flag, Unity has cloth simulation, so that can be setup in game, just need a flat plane for the flag. The cloth simulation in blender won't be used unless you save it out to a looped animation. Eventually I'll setup wind in game though.

  @TinyBeard RT and LT on an xbox controller typically share the Z axis. At least on an Xbox 360 controller. One side goes from -1 to 0, the other side goes 0 - 1, if both are held down the same amount they cancel eachother out.

  Here's a link to the pics from the dds tutorial I did for the old forum. They should answer any questions on how to save dds files in Photoshop.

  Whoops, disregard this post! Found the issue, I had the monitor plugged into the wrong GPU port. My cpu has 2 ports and I was accidentally using the intel port which is above the other port that my Nvidia graphics card is.

  My bad, should have diagnosed it a bit more before posting here, all is good now

  I wouldn't guarantee that it would work correctly, there's several hacks going on that are reading/writing to specific memory addresses in the game, so if for some reason the rfactor exe is different, then it might not work.

  So it's an issue with rFactor, not Windows or the wheel as far as I can tell. Does the boat at least idle? Maybe your autopilot is on or the clutch may be constantly engaged.

  @RustyGears You can set up the canard wing while in the pits. Click on "garage", "general", and look for "front wing". Adjust the value up or down to your liking. There is no way to adjust the canard while you're driving the boat.

  The G920 is compatible. I posted this before I knew about the Logitech Gaming Software. My G920 works fine, but force feedback pulls to the right, so I race without it.

  @Mickey That worked. Thank you. Is there a site for set ups? I can't make it around a course with out spinning out like I'm on ice. Also every time I pass start line I go to zero RPMs?

  Merry Christmas! So, I now have a new computer. I installed rFactor and HydroMod and tested it out. The clock still doesn't work. I made sure to have DX9 setup in the Config, and I even ran the game as an administrator. Still nothing.

  Did you read the rFactor 1.255 Join Timeout.pdf ? That should tell you how to fix the problem if it's a port-forwarding issue. It also says to read the FirewallGuide.pdf in the rFactor Support folder. It will guide you through setting the game up to race online.

  If that's not the problem, are you using the right password for our server? If you keep putting in the wrong password, it will eventually give you the JTO message. The JTO message will also come up if you wait too long to put the password in.

  You could also try re-starting the game. That sometimes fixes it.

  If nothing helps, then try re-starting your router. The game may not like your IP address. Re-setting the router should give you a new address.

  These are all the ideas I can think of to fix the problem. If these don't work, then I probably won't be able to help you.

  The one included with rFactor might not be new enough for the clock overlay plugin, I'm not sure. Haven't used XP in a real long time.
