Yeah this was something I was thinking about earlier that they really have nothing to compete against Thrustmaster in that mid-range spot. Also TM just announced the same TX+T3PA set they're doing with the T300.

If Fanatec is going to announce a new wheel, it's either going to be a DD wheel or something below the CSWv2. They just got to the point where they can keep the CSWv2 in stock without preorders. I'm going to assume it will be a cheaper wheel and corresponding pedals. maybe CSR Elite pedals v2.

Fanatec users, my CSR Elite wheel always has a deadzone, even in the config app when the wheel is set to 0 deadzone. I can't find much info online about correcting this, but surely it's not normal? Using the highly scientific method of resting my iphone on the bottom of the wheel with a spirit level app on it, there is about 25 degrees in both directions from centre in which nothing happens. The numbers coming from the wheel stop changing as you move through this deadzone so it appears to be happening at the hardware level, and AC2's wheel setup now seems to show this deadzone too. I really don't recall it doing so last time I played, though it was months ago. Any ideas? Wheel has latest firmware and latest beta drivers (upgraded from latest non-beta drivers but it's made no difference). Here4DaGangBang fucked around with this message at 11:08 on Sep 15, 2015 |

How's the FFB-support in MAME? I wanna try a bunch of arcade racers and it seems like they'd be way too twitchy without the proper response from the wheel.

I cant speak for MAME but I have a bunch of Sega Model 2 games on emulator and setting them up with the wheel took a while. Most arcade systems run 270 or 360 degrees with their wheels and have FFB settings within the cabinet settings so as long as the emulation is accurate it should be fine provided you take the time to get the strength right in the game itself.

I immediately got excited thinking about playing Daytona USA on my sim setup, then got disappointed when I looked it up and found that it uses a processor that's not well documented and thus doesn't run in MAME. The Xbox 360 port didn't feel right.

The Xbox 360 port didn't feel right. Daytona is a Model 2 game, and none of those run in MAME at all. I use Sega Model 2 Emulator which is a rubbish name for a program that runs most things really well but most importantly runs Sega Rally really well. Running very non-sim stuff with a sim setup is fun as hell, like I found out a few days ago that Re-Volt has a ridiculously active community that still makes patches and mods for it including native wheel support so that's a thing I've been doing.

The main thing is that arcade machines always had wheels and at least two pedals, even the stand-up ones. "Arcade handling" wasn't really a popular term until they started moving that same gameplay to home consoles and ran into the limitations of digital input, dual analog sticks, etc.

Any cheep pedal mods I can do to my g27 pedals before I buy this adapter to hook them up to my new tx wheel? I'm going to get the Clubsport pedals, but the adapter to hook them up to the TX has a two month wait list. The pedals that came with the TX are hot garbage even compared with the stock g27 ones.

I'll buy them soon for Project Cars and Asseto Corsa on PC. I'm still going to look at g27 pedal mods since I don't want to use the TX pedals for 2 months on the Xbone.

That game was amazing, considering it came out in one variant in around 89 and was still the bee's knees will into the mid 90's. There was also a helicopter sim the developer put out around the same time.

Slightly overhauled the descriptions in the first post. Second and third (which will become a setup advice post including a slightly evangelising section about FOV  ) to follow.

I radically changed my fov recently from 39 to 32 and oh my God so much better. Driving the miata around the ring was so much more intense, and I could anticipate weight transfer more easily.

Yeah I put my fov in Iracing to the lowest setting which is 45, while I do see less around me, what is in front of me is much more important. I play a lot of fps games so having your FOV around 90 is always preferred, but evidently not in racing simulators.

It's quite transformative (see, already evangelising). I suddenly find that I'm not, as I thought, completely and utterly hopeless at racing in a field of cars, just that the skewed perspective made it impossible for me to not crash into them all the time. I'm still far from good or consistent at it, but now it seems at least possible. A few months of training and I might just be ready to give iRacing a try

Looks cool, I'm wondering though if we get enough tracks to make that worthwile. With the Super Trucks it's easier since they just need to dot ramps around the existing tracks.

Reiza are only doing one "track" but it seems to be a huge complex thing that has a lot of layout options. How many of those are coded in is another matter. I forgot I had Sebring in rFactor 2, need to learn that track for iRacing stuff this week.

I've been playing chase HQ on MAME all morning with the Thrustmaster TX. It's a lot of fun. No FFB but I'm not sure if the real game had FFB either or if it just had vibration and a wheel centering spring. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Sep 23, 2015 |

Well keep the blinds closed because the city will eventually hunt you down and ask for their street lights back.
