Linus27 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Those Thrustmaster wheels do look nice. Generally great reviews also. Would consider one if I didn't have a G27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a good bit of kit. Originally got the TX as I used an XBone, but have since moved to PC. A colleague of mine has recently taken delivery of a whole host of Fanatec gear - V2 base, GT Rim, V3 pedals and V1.5 shifter. I am rather jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rather jealous He must be very poor now but very happy I must admit, I'm considering the Fanatec stuff when my G27 dies. The thing is, even my G25 is still working perfectly so I have no hope of the G27 clonking out any time soon Might just say sod it and get the Thrustmaster stuff so I can use it on Forza 6 as well as the PC. Really like the look of the T3PA Pro pedals, especially as they can be mounted upside down. Edited December 23, 2015 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the Logitech stuff, Currys have their latest wheel which works with xbox one for £205 with the gear stick attachment (or £180 without) which seems good value: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/computer-accessories/game-controllers-and-joysticks/logitech-driving-force-g920-wheel-gearstick-bundle-10139462-pdt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Kunos has released plans for 2016 for Assetto Corsa and guess what, we are getting a Nissan 350z Nismo and a Skyline R34 GTR. So over the moon we are getting the 350z as its the car I have been asking for ever since the Nissan licence was announced a few years ago. Full details on all future content is here. http://www.assettocorsa.net/2015-and-beyond/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Awesome!! And the Supra & AE86 I like AC but for some reason i get really weird feedback/vibration through the wheel when playing. I keep playing with the settings of the wheel but cant find a happy config just yet. But having a Z will make me put in more effort to get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Also, got my GTE rim on ebay if anyone is tempted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281896574945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just caved and ordered the Fanatec SQ 1.5 shifter...should be here soon So my TH8A Thrustmaster will be available in the near future of anyone is thinking of moving away from the paddles? Really adds to the immersion and being able to use H gate and Sequential is great. Let me know if you could be interested. I will check the box but think this supports consoles and PC.

Will drop you a PM matey once I work out what prices they are going for and see if we can do a deal Rig looks cool Simon.

HaydnH Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 There's a place near me that specialises in racing simulation, I've been meaning to give it a go, maybe it would make a fun mini meet? http://racezone.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) This is my little rig No room for triple monitor sadly at this stage so going to just get a larger single monitor at some point this year.

mattross1313 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nice setup Linus Day of mixed emotions here. My Fanatec SQ 1.5 shifter arrived from Germany..... But it was package 1 of 2. Package 2 of 2 (delivered this coming Monday) contains the USB cable required to connect said shifter to my Racing PC. So all I seem to have over the weekend is a rather expensive paperweight But atleast I can spend some time getting it mounted to the rig etc ready for when the cable does arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 That is so frustrating. Still, when it does arrive, it's going to be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Shifter cable arrived quite promptly and was quickly all plugged in - what a beast it is! Such a great feel when shifting! I have been using it mostly in SQ mode but it is awesome. I have also been busy re-wiring (and tidying), moved the button box up, and completed my dash mounting. Maid from some wood, carbon wrap and an old iPhone. Fits really nicely behind the wheel and gives a much clearer view of gearing and rev lights. With the triple screens you seem to cut off most off the dash due to the viewing angle. But this is a good fit. Yep, I know the button box is mounted sideways, but it is far more accessible here than where it was before behind the shifter. Getting into the GT3 series on iRacing ATM so if anyone on here is still active and fancies some practice sessions let me know and we can work something out. Always good to have some company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Wot no shifter pics So how did you get the gear indicator etc onto the iPhone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wot no shifter pics So how did you get the gear indicator etc onto the iPhone? Sorry, I'm rather crap at uploading pictures lately of the rig. Will try and get some better ones soon. I'm running an app on the iphone which connects to the PC over my home network. It picks up the signals from the game so I can see speed, revs, gear, fuel, oil etc etc. But for easy viewing I only display speed, gear and shift lights. Works really well for a free app I think its called 'Fast Dash' or something. It does have a large advert area on the screen at all times, but I have just stuck some vinyl over that area of the screen as it gets annoying!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone here actively use iRacing at the moment? I have been in the GT3 series this season and March 12th is the 12 hours of Sebring (starting on a Sat at 14:00 UK time). I am looking to enter, but need a couple of drivers for a team. I'm not the quickest by any stretch of the imagination, but always liked enduro's. Current specs - iRating is around 1650~ with laps around 2:00:9xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Will likely be stripping the rig down over the coming weeks if anyone is tempted by new shiny thing. I'll be keeping the PC and maybe screens, but rest will be sold on. Have the TX1 wheel and pedals, T500 Pedals, 599 Alcantara rim, Fanatec 1.5 Shifter, DSD button box and fully adjustable custom rig build from 8020 with Recaro seat. Let me know if anything is of interest before they hit the sim forums and ebay etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
