Easy humble brag. LOL.

Nice setup Terry...jealous.

Oh, I won't deny it!

It's just one of those slippery slopes...I started with "I want a wheel!" Then I got a wheel, and I didn't like pedals moving around. Next thing I wanted triple screens. Then I wanted a shifter. I have a button box that I use, too, and before I knew it I'm chasing each new piece of tech.

Ace just mentioned the exact thing I thought when I first got the TX, and that led me to all sorts of expensive areas. It's always the funniest conversation starter when anybody comes to the house.

"Holy....s***. Can I try that?"

I think I've converted 4 separate friends into online racers just trying it first and getting the itch.

You beat me by 3 minutes from an OFFICE CHAIR...Oh ffs.
Awesome set up.

That is pretty hard core for sure!

Does anyone have ffb settings they use in Dirt? Terry, did you find yours?

[Jimmydeicide]

I use these except i have lower steering ratio by default and a few percent if any steering saturation. I dont like moving the wheel a lot it gets me into trouble so soft lock is off.
So basically everything he does except his steering ratio and linearity or saturation which ever he tweaked as i still thought it had a lot of movement to turn for sharper corners.

Where are all of the times this week?

Where are all of the times this week?

The three or four times I tried to log in...Racenet is down.

Pretty sure code masters online system is even worse than MLB the Show's.

I have a heavier rim on mine so it may require some tinkering, but here's what I have:

I've got my deadzones at 0 and saturation at 100. I put linearity at 2 for a bit snappier response from corner to corner, without a lot of overcorrection problems. My soft lock is on, 900 degree calibration.

Self Aligning Torque: 30% (this is the biggest one to change to raise or lower overall feel.
Wheel Friction: 20%
Tyre Friction: 50%
Suspension: 25%
Tyre Slip: 70%
Engine: 60%
Collision: 90%
Soft Lock: 100%
Steering Center Force: 65%

With the default TX rim I think I ran it at about 20% SAT.

[Gangrel]

Thanks. I'll try these and Jimmy's and see what works for my temporary setup. I tried ones suggested by TM themselves and I was sweating as the wheel felt 100 pounds!

Hopefully I'll have time to put these in and finish the dsp rally.

[Gangrel]

Here's a picture of my "sim rig" for right now. It's almost as good as Terry's, but nowhere near as comfortable.

You're missing only 3 TV monitors and the best part is your left side mirror...

[XXXIV]

Looks like Romper room racing.

[Jimmydeicide]

Cant see the pictures sadly. Wanted to see how good the Carpenters are in Canada.

And OMG 1 second between 3rd and 4th this week Fsh and Meta. Agonizing.

I can do my makeup while crashing the trees .


Speaking of which, the door can come off the car. I learned that last night.

Better repost those pics for jimmy...

[Gangrel]

They are in Google photos, not sure why they aren't working for him.

Also, the couch you see part of is my official Dragon's Den. It's a recliner, which explains why some nights I'm sleepy........

[Jimmy_Lazerbeams]

Fshguy and I were 1.001 seconds apart overall. I was acutely conscious of how close we were because after the second last race he was suddenly in front.

That last race was nerve-racking, leading to this:


And then 10 metres from the finish line I got lost in the woods and burned 15 seconds (that clip obviously didn't upload before I turned off for the night, I'll get it later).

[TCrouch]

That was a hell of a save! The pucker factor in this game is second to none

Congrats... Much tougher when you know you're closer in time and the pressure is on!

[Gangrel]

Btw I can see why people buy a separate shifter. Paddle shifting in this game sucks when you are in panic mode with the wheel spin round.......

[TCrouch]

Yep! I'm telling you, you've opened Pandora's Box here.

It's so much nicer to be able to just grab a gear and steer with the left (or when going from 4th to 2nd, just skip 3rd gear, for example).

Welcome to the dark side, Ace.

[10spro]

Ace, a shifter in our neck of the woods is as or more expensive than a wheel.

[Gangrel]

Yeah, they are $179 here in town. I think I will avoid the shifter for now and find a way to live with the paddles. My wheel stand is supposedly on the way, so hopefully it makes it through the mail system before they end up locked out.

I think that will do it for now, the wife knows how much the wheel was, but I haven't told her how pricey the stand is. I'm sure by the time i do the conversion, it's more than the wheel!

But Mike from Xlerator was good, he asked me which wheel I had, and he told me he set it up for the TX before putting it in the box, so I guess he's premounted the plates or something.

I also saved some cash ordering from him directly, though it was cheaper through Ebay with the global shipping program. But everything i read about the GSP isn't very good, so i figured the extra cash gets me piece of mind that it will get delivered.

Nope, paddle shifters for the win, why take your hand off the wheel , hard enough with 2 hands. Sounds like you have to much steering ratio to me.

Im in google what can i do to see the pics ? a setting or something, maybe thats why i couldnt see 10's bandana collection.
