    Forza Motorsport 8

    That is the problem with career mode I think. There are so many tracks just thrown at you that you'll never learn, I do the practice laps that are required that gets me 80% knowing the track but as soon as I am on to the next one I come back to a previous one and forget it all. I've not played...

    Forza Motorsport 8

    I've been giving this a good bash, only played career mode but when I started I was getting most 6's on the segments I'm now comfortably able to get 8s on anything but hairpins and tight slow corners/chicanes. If I really push I can get 9's but the chances of me completing a whole lap are not...

    Just watched Matt Armstrong second channel video and his 11 year old camera man who laughs a lot has just bought a Lambo? Surely he can't be getting paid that much?

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    I quite liked the Donut channel but it seems to be a bit hit and miss now. Also seems quite a few of the original/popular creators are jumping ship and not holding back on how they feel corporate have destroyed it. BigTime has been good so far, hopefully they can keep up the content. Cracking...

    So AliExpress turned up, no problems at all, detected the 8nm straight off. Plug that came with the pack is tiny so guess it isn't fused, will find another out and job jobbed for £40 instead of Fuckyoutecs £150 one delivered. Can also say night and day between 5nm and 8nm, so if it holds up I...

    That would explain the no chance of compo reply then. I almost bought the shifter the other night lol, that could have been another saga. Boost pack coming later, what is the bets it breaks the DD and I'll have no chance with a warranty claim,

    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...

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    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.

    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...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    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.
