Sure Rob, you're off to the Ekka for all the rides, aren't you? :P ;D

Yeah, sure Dave you found me out. I just thought that I needed another dose of Covid with a side dose of Flu to go with my Long Covid Systems.

Have fun tonight, mate.  :P

Sorry Wally, feeling pretty rubbish today, and I'm over 4 seconds off the pace so I will just be a danger to others if I race, so I might give it a miss tonight.

I've also got family commitments for the next 2 weeks so will probably miss a few more nights as well.

Have fun racing guys, catch you all in about 3 weeks.

Sorry Guys, PC  issues. Sound and controller problems. PC kept on randomly switching between speakers and headset and every time it did it locked up for 1 to 2 seconds. Hopefully have it sorted by next week. :(

The only downside so far, which a lot of reviews mention, is that I occasionally feel a tiny bit of a slip or a clunk in the wheel when the FFB changes rapidly from one side to the other. Apparently that's something to do with the quick release mechanism, and an easy fix is to put a bit of tape on the wheel shaft inside the release, but I haven't even bothered with it.

I had that problem too Wally. I may be a bit more anal than you but it was spoiling an otherwise immersive experience so I tried the tape fix. Took about 10 seconds and so far has worked a treat. I used about 4 windings of "plumbers tape" so may have to apply some more if it wears/compresses.

Well worth the effort.

Hey Wally, this is the rack I was trying to think of tonight. Only fairly short and not one of the Free Roam maps, but this is just an awesome track, even with graphics turned down to "low". I can only imagine how it looks cranked up.

Yeah I miss Tuesdays too (and Thursdays of course), but being uncompetitive because of really low FPS really sucks. It just saps the joy out of racing.

I don't think the wheel has made me any faster (well at least not any slower) but my consistancy has improved, and enjoyment of course. And for me, that's what its all about, FUN.

Hey Wally, got mine a few weeks ago. I don't think you will be disappointed, and I doubt you'll ever need anything more powerful, I know I won't, but I guess never say never. But of course I was coming from a G27, so the bar was set pretty low.

I haven't been enjoying racing for a while so my thought process was that a new wheel would be much cheaper than a new pc and much easier to sell if I have lost that love of racing.

Unfortunately my old pc means that I will still miss most XGN races as most 3rd party tracks and cars will still slow down my pc and take away any enjoyment. But on the plus side I am now going though all my historic cars and tracks off line and have never enjoyed AC more.

Hope you enjoy your DD.

I'm going to have to miss tonight guys. This car/track combo is unplayable for me, even worse than last week. I can't even get stable frame rate off-line with just one car.

Maybe more luck next week. :(
