What's that little brake-lever type thing on that shifter you posted?

Good news about your OSW and 0 EMI issues. I've had a few with the Lenze, symptoms being keyboard/mouse disconnects, wheel losing centre, but believe all are resolved now, with just a little effort.

Tried AC yet with the OSW?

Roll-on the ring with iRacing!

That's the neutral selector; it lets you go straight to neutral from any gear without having to cycle through.

right then pc has been collected

, T500 is on it's way

, so a quick question, what's the best to use, chrome/IE/firefox, or doesn't it matter?

chrismox · 1 Dec 2015 at 20:42

Firefox here but I can't imagine that it matters..

Gone Elvis · 1 Dec 2015 at 20:44

cheers, just thought i would ask

Glad you're enjoying the V3's, getting me all excited now.

All my Fanatec stuff arriving on Wednesday.

Me too. Taken the day off!

No holidays left

Could throw a sickie I suppose, but knowing my luck the UPS guy won't turn up until late in the day. Despite the fact that the depot is literally 5 minutes up the road.

MagicBoy · 1 Dec 2015 at 21:59

Tends to be middle of the day here. I could in theory take a 2 hour lunch but I've got the Dentist at 4:30 so I'm out of Flexi. Given I've done 6 day weeks for the last fortnight I decided I deserved the day off...

If I miss the UPS man then the nearest depot is over an hour away, despite me being in Greater Manchester.

barmyllama · 1 Dec 2015 at 22:12

If I miss them then they drop off at a local shop instead of returning items to the depot.

MarkeR · 1 Dec 2015 at 22:23

Haha, you two are going to have a ball tomorrow..

With fanaleds, turn up your brake sensitivity to 100%. Plus the amount of info available via fleds is awesome, I was using sim-sli to post info to my displays, changed completely to fleds now...

Indeed it is, sadly though iRacing won't be supporting that feature anytime soon.

I have tried Assetto Corsa, I still need to fine tune the settings in sim as there is a kind of internal servo vibration at high speed but it's very very good now compared to with my CSW. When I can race again I see myself spending a lot more time in this sim, the feel was excellent, even had a go at drifting on the skid pan and was very impressed with the feedback.

Good luck for tomorrow chaps, I hope the deliveries are early! Barmy are you expecting both your packages tomorrow?

Muska.

Have you tried it in Pcars yet, I seem to get a lot more feeling in the wheel and pedals in Pcars than I do in corsa.

Muska · 2 Dec 2015 at 09:19

I used to find that too, I tried the other day but it crashed leaving the pits so I moved to another sim.

I give it another bash this morning

Edit:

Well, PCars is very complicated to setup FFB wise, I'll have to try and hunt out some settings for OSW as the short time I got on track before a crash it felt very dead, hardly any feedback on kerbs and compared to Assetto & iRacing a really poor feeling FFB. Maybe it's all in the settings though, if you've looked at their options you'll know what i mean!

On the other hand though, iRacing in the V8 Supercar at Bathurst is just incredible and the HPD now has amazing feeling in high speed corners, the downforce on the car is felt through the wheel amazingly, you really have to push through a high speed corner to stay on line.

Yay.

Nothing for me so far.

It's been on the van since 6:00am, the depot is five minutes up the A5. Probably going to be last drop of the day.

barmyllama · 2 Dec 2015 at 12:37

The Eagle has landed.

Dup · 2 Dec 2015 at 12:42

Thanks for the info guys, really appreciated. Hopefully get some wheeltime very soon and get into practice.

Enjoy your new wheels!

Muska · 2 Dec 2015 at 12:51

Great!

Sooo what do you think?!

barmyllama · 2 Dec 2015 at 12:54

Still at work

To be honest I probably won't set up until the weekend, I think need to slightly rearrange things in the man cave first.
