@Jabor, if you can afford the 200 bucks, the G27 is well worth the price.

Agreed, got mine used off of GutBomb.

also, this app is pretty nice https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sensadigit.dashmeterforacpc&hl=en

I had a 30-lap race on Monza earlier. It started pissing down and I was forced to pit for wets when other cars started overtaking me.

While sitting in the pit my race engineer announces over the radio that the crew has lost a wheel nut and I just have to be patient. :allears:

glad to see Mercedes's racist pit stops have made it into the video game world

This might be a bad idea



and for reference, roughly the same race distance as the NASCAR races at Sonoma and Watkins Glen (217.5mi/350km for this race, 218.9/352.3 for Sonoma and 220.5/354.9 for Watkins Glen)

EDIT: lol, spun coming out of Eau Rouge, got hit by another car, and wound up somewhere near Brussels I think

See you in 15 hours I guess.

I get bored of that track after two laps. It's obviously technically demanding and there's value in that but a lot of tracks are technically demanding and don't strand you 15 minutes from the pit if something goes wrong.

ended up quitting after 5 laps when my hands cramped up on the 360 controller. Really need to get my wheel set up :(

Looks like I'm out of the game until I get a new processor (currently on a Pentium G3258) and either get a new video card or get this motherboard to actually detect and use my R9 270X (until that happens wooo Intel integrated Graphics)

My old motherboard (which housed an AMD FX-8350) took a huge poo poo and is toast.

I still need to upgrade my processor before I can play again. That should happen inside a couple months if my work transfer and I get more hours at the new location.

EDIT: Wrong racing sim thread.

For actual content, I might be getting a new processor in a week (i7 4790K, a definite upgrade from my current Pentium G3258) so I will be able to play again soon.

How did you manage this

Didn't have a good enough grip on the Pentium G3258 I pulled out, dropped it on the socket, bending a shitton of pins... which are loving tiny and part of the socket.

New processor is an i7-4790K

Yeah, my first time working with LGA1150, didn't realize the pins weren't on the processor itself. Last time I had Intel was a Pentium III 800MHz.
