So are we calling the patient dead?

Okay, thanks in part to what I read here....I ordered F1 2016. Arrives tomorrow.

You sick bastards .

Me too

Agreed. - you've done good.

I would love more stages in a rally personally. Otherwise, I'm fine

Well, I hope we can get going again soon...I gotta put my wheel to the test

So what's the status of our little league??

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. That corner was one of my favorites early on, because it just felt like old dirt trackin' days. Throttle steer, and you feel awesome....right up until you have to hang that sharp left. I like the reverse of that track, because you're doing a left around that bend ...

Thanks, Terry :).

Yeah , I'm trying to build trust that if I pitch the car too early it won't just nose in and slam me into something before the apex. I am trying to TRUST the car to slide. That's taking time to improve on, but working on that! :)

I just really love when going around that long ...

This is a stage tonight from the UK that I did with the TMX and Wheelstand Pro. Of note is finally being able to hold drifts as well as negotiate S curves by doing a pendulum swing back and forth. I don't remember whether this is my fastest time through this stage but ...

make sure you post pictures of the new setup.

So spent a good part of the weekend working on the wheel. I ended up adding back a little SAT. Might be due to the TX having a stronger FF engine than the TMX. Who knows.

Nonetheless, there are improvements in my times as I practice. Certainly things are overall smoother and I find myself making ...

Are we doing a new season?? Have wheel. Will drive for food....

Thanks! I'll try these. What is SAT? Saturation?

Quick update.

I have set up the stand and TMX and tried some Forza 6, F1 2015 and of course, DiRT Rally.

Everything works as advertised. Except, as I figured, I am currently significantly slower in DR. Why? Because the wheel is currently driving ME as much as I'm driving it. When you get ...

cuz I bought what I bought. He's saying if I start beating him, he's going to use this as his excuse.

a) I probably will not start beating him (tho I hope to)
b) he's the one that got the pro Xbox One game controller with super sticks and paddles, instead of a proper wheel.
c) conclusion: his ...

Terry, you should know that Shawn (fsh) has declared you a bad influence.

Yeah...if you're two footing it, that stand is likely perfect. Who knows on the TMX, as it's one of the few wheels I never bought.

It helps if you don't have to insert a book or something to keep the TMX solidly mounted. Just make sure not to crank that FF up too high :lol:

Yer funny, but I ...

LOL, and Thrustmaster comes out with THIS next month:

http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/thrustmaster-tmx-pro-limited-edition-wheel-only-at-gamestop/131352#productDetails

TMX with T3PA pedals. But I'm not willing to wait another month and I will probably just enjoy the stock pedals for awhile and ...

Yeah, I agonized over the decision. There were enough 'dead' or failed units that I didn't want to take the chance and be SOL $200+. And that's probably a normal failure rate. For all I know, the TMX has the same failure rate. Only difference is warranty there.

I pondered the stand long and hard ...

Update. I ordered the wheel stand pro and the tmx. They'll show up later in the month.

The #1 question for me was HOW MUCH BETTER is the TX Force Feedback than the TMX? Every scrap of research showed me that while the TX might be better, the TMX is so good that it's not a significant difference in ...

No I haven't bought anything yet. My birthday isn't until the 7th. I'm trying to understand why the only TX that the thrustmaster company seems to be advertising is the leather Edition. They act like the 458 Ferrari Italia is discontinued or something. I just honestly don't know what to do. I can't ...

Well, let me know what happens. Thanks!

So, Terry did you get a buyer for your TX? I'm sort of in the market, but I wasn't sure where things stood.

Life happens, man. We appreciate the work that goes into setting this thing up and all of the copying and pasting that you have to do....don't even sweat it!

Now, is anybody interested in buying a used TX Wheel and T3PA pedal unit? It'd be cheaper than new, naturally!

Can you explain why you're ...

Well, I've told my wife my birthday list is the TX and the XLerator stand. Somehow or another it will work out
