Although you didn't mention the error message you got and the gcc-version you 
use, I maybe have an idea what the problem can be. According to the 
information on the Fedora website, it seems to use gcc 4.1.0. There seems to 
be a compile issue with this compiler (there also is a bug of it in the torcs 
bug system). The attached patch can resolve this issue (at least it let torcs 
compile on my system).

Of course, this is just a guess of what the problem might be without seeing 
the error message.

Mart Kelder

Greetings,

I attempted to compile the cvs version of torcs on Fedora Core 5 X86_64
but the compiler generate errors even though all the libraries are
installed.

Most likely you have set up your spoilers (wings) more steep (bigger angle),
so they produce more downforce, but more drag as well (robot tutorial chapter
5). For the human player you can modify/add setups in ~/.torcs/drivers/human or
~/.torcs/drivers/human/tracks/"trackname"/"carsetup".xml (for Linux, FreeBSD,
for Windows look into your TORCS installation directory, for the required
filename look at the existing examples).

Bye, Bernhard.

I want to increase the velocity of a given car. But I know that a car 
building tutorial is, at the moment, missing. Do you know how to make?
I have seen that berniw3 reach 344 Km/h, but I with the same car reach 
only 330Km/h. Why? Do you know a documentation for this?
Than you

If you would like to create a TORCS competitor, you might consider using neuroevolution.
 ANNEvolve is an open source project devoted to neuroevolution.  One of our
sub-projects, EvSail, solves a roughly similar problem.  EvSail is a free download from
our website.

If anyone wants to use ANNEvolve software as the basis for developing a TORCS
competitor, I will help you.

PS: I am the inventor and founder of RARS

I'm proud of http://ANNEvolve.sourceforge.net.  If you want to write software, or articles, or do testing, or research for ANNEvolve, let me know.

I have a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP and it works well (albeit 
without feedback). Just make sure you calibrate it with jscal and it 
works fine. Apparently the force feedback can be hacked in but it's not 
supported in standard kernels to my knowledge and I've never got it to work.

Hello,

when I was looking for some list I didn't find any. I bought "Logitech Formula 
Vibration Feedback Wheel", which work quite well even with kernel 2.4. Its 
feedback doesn't work on linux, but there no pity. I tested it on windows and 
that feedback is really poor.
As I heard some better Logitech should work too and also some Microsoft 
Sidewinder.

    Hi,

    Is there any list of steering wheels known to work on Linux (kernel >=
=3D 2.6)?
    I'm thinking about buying one and I want to be sure that it works
on Linux... ;-)

Hi,

When I try to run Torcs on Mac I am stuck with a camera view that  
seems to be under the track and changing the camera view has no  
effect.  Has anyone ever experienced this on linux or know where the  
problem might be?

Thanks,

Steve
