    Pedals aren't silly money by the looks of it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1xForHeusinkveld-Sim-Pedals-Pro-Inverted-Retrofit-Kit-Racing-V3-G29-T300-CSW-DD1/274159230526?hash=item3fd529de3e:g:YMoAAOSw6IJeAF~p

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    It can be a bit of a ballache to get setup right! In all honesty, I'm impressed at the flexibility of most modern games to cope with a whole range of inputs - even when the likes of Assetto are getting on in their years. I've currently got a Logitech G13 gameboard connected, an XBox One...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    How does that work then - bit puzzled on that? Wouldn't it still need a measurement recording the spring depression or load cell resistance - regardless of floor mounting or from up above the pedal? I know that in Assetto, the default calibration of the pedals shows the recording at 100% (as...

    Yep - worked fine for me. Assetto was a little weird in that the clutch was greyed out so I couldn't complete the calibration of all the other settings. Turns out that there was a setting applied for 'Automatic Clutch' that has to be disabled before you can assign it. In Assetto, you get the...

    Finished the Logitech/Fanatec hybrid eventually. It's been a bit of a trial of patience, but got there in the end. The pedal base is now connected to the frame floor in no less than ten places - so that fecker isn't moving at all - even under my size 10s. The main reason for doing so was having...

    Custom build PC issues

    Normally one of the things I check each time I format the PC - just in case there are any BIOS updates beforehand. Unlikely these days though as my mobo is four-years old - but I still do it!

    So, the ClubSport USB adapter (https://fanatec.com/eu-en/accessories/pedal-accessories/clubsport-usb-adapter) arrived yesterday and I downloaded the driver from Fanatec's website. Ran the software and attached the adapter, which then prompted me to confirm if it was for pedals, a shifter or a...

    Work colleague purchased an '05 Clio 1.5DCi as their first car...

    ....anything else other than the obvious oil change etc that is specific to these, that they should address? Runs well from what I can gather already - but any oil-burner specifics that they should at least look into, would be welcome. Cheers, D.

    My nephew's Fanatec wheel actually did start to behave like it had a PAS issue. When 'warmed up' after thirty minutes or so, the belt would randomly slip under cornering, as if the PAS pressure on real car wasn't consistent. As a simulator for what could go wrong with your car - it was...

    Good stuff - hopefully its all sorted! Did the FFB just randomly die when using it? Might be the power steering pump that's knackered? ;)

    Sounds like you're going whole hog with this :) Will be worth it in the long run though! @Hollidog - I've currently got a SecretLabs Titan chair, which I'd think about swapping for a proper racing seat, if driving games were what I played the most of. I don't unfortunately - and don't really...

    I really like the Next Level Racing stuff. I've got the unit that's down the range from that - https://www.box.co.uk/Next-Level-Racing-Wheel-Pedal-Stand_1934751.html - and I really can't fault it. The only slight issue is through my own making - in that my chair has wheels and I have a really...

    Modding Thrustmaster T300RS

    Does the Thrustmaster range not use generic springs? Similarly, I noticed that the Thrustmaster RJ12-USB adapter looks to have a proprietary lug at the top of it? https://shop.thrustmaster.com/en_gb/t-rj12-usb-adapter.html Ideally, I'd get one of these to setup a Fanatec ClubSport shifter to...

    Changed my on the pedal set of the Logitech G25 and G920 - makes the brake pedal much more controllable. Though I do feel like having had a bit of workout if I play driving games too long! ;) http://www.gteye.com.au/products

    Steering issues

    It really is one of those things with tyres, that you can't afford to put budget ones on something even moderately sporty. It is the only contact you have with the road - so imagine trying to control an object at 70mph, weighing approximately a ton and potentially changing direction quickly...

    For that money - going white is a no brainer. Plus, I think it will actually suit it really well.

    Andy is bang on there. We had a custom PC build here when PCars1 was all the rage. At the time, the standard nVidia 1080 was a heavyweight and it played through a PC monitor with pretty much all the bells & whistles turned on. We attached a HTC Vive to it and wow - did the performance take a...

    Clio with Rotrex super charger

    More tolerant on the transmission as well with the power delivery being a lot more linear. Rather than having a dump of torque when the turbo spools up.

    PC High Resolution Screenshots

    I know we laugh and take the piss about the 'PC Master Race' - but if you're that way inclined, there really is no direct alternative. Consoles have their place - I certainly can't deny that. But when you experience the potential of what PC gaming offers - the console alternatives just don't...

    Custom build PC issues

    The first thing I’d check. I never get why there’s a reluctance to updating mobo BIOSs. I’ve had one get bricked in the 28 years of PC ownership and most modern mobos have dual BIOS support anyway. Even though both updates are flagged as beta, I’d be doing that first. Once done - make a quick...

    I haven’t - but sounds like a good project to get involved with. The mechanics of everything should be fairly straight-forward. Unfortunately it will be the donkey-spec drivers and APIs that will be the difficult part to get around.

    Advice on first car

    Hi Karen, Welcome aboard! As you're probably well aware that insurance is a minefield for anyone - worse when you're a new driver like your son. Just double-check everything - sense and logic for the rest of society, doesn't always transfer to the Land of Car Insurance. Don't immediately...
