Ugh... my throttle pedal is playing up again :(

Nice pedals.
I went down the road of a failing g25 pedal and eventually bought a new G27.  Amazing how the old set had deteriorated over the many years and how good the new G27 felt.
I would note that I did the load cell upgrade in the old G25 which made the pedal very solid BUT in the absence of a cockpit (just used an office chair) it was difficult to apply the controlled pressure against it.  (fanatec 90kg pedal).  So if you have a good setup the great but if like me you have a normal seat, you might find the chair moving a bit before the pedal given the pressure required.
I think I am doing better lately without the load cell....!
Food for thought..

I am using the GTEye spring mod in my G27 pedals at the moment which is really good.  I have carpet and a normal office chair, but I've taken the wheels off so it doesn't slide anywhere.  Works well.

No joy for me this round, my computers pretty stuffed it seems. Had it start crashing the other nite and it was fine all practice and qualy race 1. Then I got a good start in the race being far enough back to avoid all the carnage got to 4th by the second chicane undamaegd and then it crashed.

I tried qualy 2 and it crashed on my outlap so thats me done for the season. I will be away a couple weeks anyway and will need a full rebuild and upgrade when I get back. Seems the cpu cooler is having issues and maybe water pump has failed as temps were getting real high even underclocked and this seems to be whats causing the crashes.
