Sorry for quitting, but I give up.
Yes, that's a shame, but obviously it's all about having fun. If you ever want a race, you know where to find us :)
Thanks Wally.

That's a shame doobs, is there something specifically that's not doing it for you!!
Nah Freezer, just getting too old to continue doing something that has turned into an exercise of frustration, which is somewhat ironic because I started playing golf again a few months ago. Last night, I could barely complete a lap despite doing heaps without issue offline. I was about a second slower than I had been(still 2 seconds off the pace) just trying to stay in a straight line and still couldn't do it. Happens nearly every week in any car so I've just had enough. The fun times are too far in between.

I quit, I have no fun doing this anymore.
Thanks for the on and off ten years.

I signed up but not sure if I'll be there tonight.

Sorry for bailing.
My shin's been playing up again so I took some muscle relaxants, bad idea.
I fell asleep down the back straight, went off track and nearly took out doobs.
It was only going to get worse and i didn't want to cause any shunts.
That was funny from my seat. I thought you were on a secret saving tyres run because you were a bit slow (that's rich coming from me), and then towards the end of the straight you just drifted off the road like you'd fallen asleep, so it was no surprise to see you call it for the night.

People are telling me it's still last weeks track......
It certainly looks like it. Parana

I filled the gap between the button and the housing with 406 (industrial super glue) and backed that up with gaffa tape.
If that fails, I'll use Wally's suggestion and just completely remove the switch and hard-wire it permanently on.
Hopefully all this is temporary, I'm working on a budget for a replacement, CSL DD, but that may take some time to accrue.
The Gaff will not fail. Hope it stays solid for you, because these cars aren't bad to drive... I still cannot drive them. :)

If you need to keep your finger on it, I'd hot glue a paddle pop stick over it with something behind it to apply the pressure to the button, rather than fill the button. It's easier to remove and you should be able to fix it eventually when you find a button replacement.

I reckon I'd do less damage with the loctite, my soldering skills suck.
Improve your skills and fix it. :) Have you got a pic, maybe someone could come up with a lateral thinking solution that might prevent your extreme fix?

How can it not be fixed with gaff or a zip tie? That's unpossible.
I hope you get it fixed.

You missed out Bacchulum   :P
:'( :'(

It doesn't look like google can help me, I found links to CSL Elite wheels but none of them are the same as mine.
It looks like it's been deleted from history...... ???

The only solution I can come up with is extreme and will be irreversible.
I'm considering using Loctite 406 to basically jam it into a permanently ON position.
If it doesn't work, the wheel will be garbage........

Is it a switch that's broke? Surely you can replace it, or can't you figure out how to dismantle for access?

Thanks Wally, sorry about that.

hey Wally, can you add me to the server, or is it too much of a pain in the arse? I forgot to sign up.

I forgot to sign up.  See ya next week.

Hardware & Reviews / Re: HTC - Vive Before I try to flog it on Gumtree

I'll have to consult with my personal VR expert.

Roo, is this one any good? ???
I do not like to bag a product that someone is trying to sell, but resolution specs are low:
Headset Specs
Screen:   Dual AMOLED 3.6'' diagonal
Resolution:   1080 x 1200 pixels per eye (2160 x 1200 pixels combined)
Refresh rate:   90 Hz
Field of view:   110 degrees

HP Reverb G2 specs are:
2160 x 2160 panel resolution per eye
4320 x 2160 pixels combined

It's not bagging if it's accurate Roo. I haven't bothered keeping up with the VR info because I won't be going into VR again unless it can be done without a headset so wouldn't have a clue. I wouldn't want someone to be disappointed, and I should be able to offload it on Gumtree. I just wanted to offer it here first in case anyone wanted it.

Cheers
Darren

Hardware & Reviews / HTC - Vive Before I try to flog it on Gumtree
« on: April 01, 2022, 10:46:55 AM »
Hi,
My wife bought me a HTC Vive about 5 years ago. I've used it for about 15 hrs all up since I got it. I thought I needed it for sim racing, but should have known better because I get car sick. The best use I've got out of it was just sitting in a car and looking around because it does look pretty cool with the lighting and stuff.
Anyway I've been meaning to sell it for years because I can't drive more than a couple of laps without getting nauseous, and even if I thought I was getting used to it, if the car suddenly stopped because I hit a wall or ditch I'd almost throw up instantly.
It'll be going on Gumtree for $450 on the 15th April. It's the full retail kit: Headset, 2X controllers, 2XBase Stations, 1X link box and all the cables , power , and chargers. Still has the spare face foam.
If anyone would like to purchase it please message me. $380. I'm in Ipswich near Brisbane.
If no-one here wants it that's cool, I just wanted to offer it here first.
Mods: If there's another area in the forums where this would be more appropriate please move it.

Cheers
Darren
