    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Think so, I couldn't even figure out how to start as I don't have a handbrake so after I'd be faffing about trying to start I wasn't straight. First stage was something like 1st 4:20 I was somewhere around 6:30 so switched up and had a practice of the Rallycross instead. Going to order the...

    Played Dirt Rally 2.0 last night, first attempt crashed into the start gate some how. I'm not a rally driver yet.

    Cool, I'll try Dirty Rally 2 first then at a third of the price :) I'm just using a 32" TV jobber the Mrs won in her works raffle, It is not great so will need replacing with something.

    I'm a complete virgin to all this Sim Racing stuff, but absolutely loving it, between working all hours OT to pay for it and her milking me to decorate the living room I'm trying to manage my funds on what I think is needed in order..... 1) Boost kit - ordered as it is an easy win 2) Not keen...

    I've now ordered the AliExpress DD Boost kit, everything I've read says it works a treat and saved around £120

    Forza Motorsport 8

    Is there any way to run against your ghost car? I fired this up for the weekend and I've decided I'm not very good. I'm down to light assists but still have the braking line on as I don't know the tracks, so I'd like to get a bit of practice in and chasing a ghost has always worked well for me.

    So it has been 324 days since I purchased the Fanatec CSL bundle and I'm about to power it on properly for the first time, not quite finished yet, got to tidy up a few things, add the shifter side bar, end panels, cables etc but think I'll run it for a few days make any adjustments I need. Also...

    Good shout actually, pretty sure I kept everything from the last tv bracket I bought. I'll dig it out.

    Cheers, is VESA mount the correct name then? I can confirm a 48" TV does not have enough clearance for the GT Omega rig monitor mount

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Quick question on what my options are and how I go about fixing this.... Got to the last stage of building the sim rig but mounting the monitor...... This is what I have to work with.... This is the plate GT Omega sent me Sits well proud above the monitor. Can I just pack it with...

    I've been in work 25 years and have had the same job, I am on my 7th different company now due to being acquired/sold off. Redundancy is a brutal business and I survived near on 7 years being told my job was up for review every quarter lol. Been settled in nicely at what was a smaller company...

    Sounds like a pretty genuine reply from customer services tbh and they are just being told from above f**k em. Now I've had a sulk and I'm over it this morning I am tempted to order the load cell pedal.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    I've been sat here stewing over it tonight, thinking I'm about to blow another £150 on the Moza pedals because I won't buy the Fanatec load cell now. I'm pretty crap at this social media s**t, so how would I go about sending them the saga? Now.... I don't do FB, Instagram, Twitter or anything...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    And that is that..... Any idea on what load cell pedals to get now? Can I just buy a separate load cell from a different manufacturer and keep the Fanatec CSL pedals? I don't have Twitter. Will see if they reply and might sign up.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Mind blown..... I don't know whether to reply or not, In all honesty I was going to purchase the loadcell pedal and gear shifter end of the month. I will not be doing that now. Disappointed is an understatement and I'd love to know what they consider as deserving of compensation.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    lol, cheers then. Set your expectations low and you never fail to achieve them. I'm only running the 5nm DD at the moment so hopefully not get that, and just have CSL DD pedals for now but looking to get the loadcell pedal. At least the £450 saved gives me a little wiggle room to improve on...

    Order placed, Gone with the Prime Lite, Inertia bucket seat, integrated monitor mount and Fanatec DD mount. Decided against the extra £500 for the TrakRacer as I can get a shifter and handbrake and clutch for not much more.

    Now got me looking at the next level racing options, the F-GT lite caught my eye and get their seat

    So they also do the trx more expensive seat? Is there a better option? And what’s involved to make it fit?

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    So almost a year on and I'm in the market for the rig when I get back off holiday. Caught in two minds at the moment. TR80 looks better but a bit more expensive, Fixed back GT style seat and integrated monitor stand. About £1019. Problem is, I have a space of 160cm to fit in and can stretch to...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I got a few screws in but the angle puts the last ones way off as can be seen. So it is fixed solid at the top. It is powered on, not leaking so will that be OK now and just ignore the few missing fins? Not likely to fail? Not sure how I would go about front mounting it. There is no obvious...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Well that didn't go to plan. Nothing leaking. Be alright won't it until I get something that actually fits in the case? Problem is, the rad is fouling a heat sink on the motherboard so I was trying a bit of brute force to get the screw to fit in the hole, moved the other way and went straight...

    flol. I wish, Fanatec gone back to type. Heard nothing since. Going away end of June, once I get back if nothing has been done then I'll raise it again with them and use my compo face to empathise how I feel I don't think I can trust them for future purchases. On a side note after a blast on...

    This has been my first title on the new PC. Checking my steam account my last games played were FM12 and C&C Red Alert. This is going to take some serious getting used to over C&C Engineering guy. I've bungled through the first 2 Italian missions, don't really understand the turn based thing...

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    Isn't this just a fad though, once the people born in the 70s, 80s and early 90s are dead then no one will give a s**t about about old Fords. It is only because people who grew up in that era now have some silly amounts of disposable income, will be the same for the 2000+ lot, they'll move on...
