As I said to Lorenzo about the G29, he is not the only one lamenting this issue. I don't know if the G29 and G920 have some difference in this aspect, but I managed to solve the issue of a poor FF strenght, especially in the center part of the wheel with that "LUT" procedure (G29 is the one with Playstation logo - G920 is that with XBox logo).
Apart the fact that I guess they should have the same functions, even one of my VDA mate decided to send back the wheel after a couple of hours (before checking this "LUT" procedure). I remember that was painful to go through the procedure described in the message I sent to Lorenzo and I'm wondering if that went wrong in some way. To be honest, the "default setup" of the G29 if compared to my old G25 was a step back in simdriving experience, but with the LUT I was satisfied to make that engines working properly and I decided to stay on it.
If someone of you is unsatisfied about his "default" G29 and interested in this procedure to modify FFB wheel strenght I'll send you the links to RD.
However, as I said to Lorenzo, at least in Italy, if you want to step up your simdriving experience there's a sensible difference in terms of price between a G29 and a T300 for example, and with the last one you earn a 90's Thrustmaster pedal board
(tell me the term you use in England if I'm wrong
) without clutch
Talking about the beautiful aspects of simracing I have to say that even if I was a chicken during race 1, these 2 races were absolutely pure fun.
Despite a poor 4th place in qualif (for a damned millisecond by Mr.Muttram
) I exploited my 4WD Power to take the lead at turn 1, with a momentt of scrapping paints with Kai?!? as in a real TC race at the exit of the first bend
By that moment I just did my best pace ever, but was not enough to keep a devilish Tim behind my back for more than 12 or 13 laps. I stay on my previous opinion about myself, as I stupidly give the chance to him to take the inside after I tried some duels with my Confessor "Father Jos" a couple of days ago
(It's always Jos' fault
). Unlike the braking in the previous laps Tim managed to stay tight on the inside at the bend and simply cheated me
400 meters later I was drafting on his tail, without any intention to try an attack at the fast right after the chicane. Probably Tim was in a too defensive line, but I didn't expect he'd slow that much and I banged his rear in a proper Nici Larini Avus style (I saw by YT video he retired in that race
). I guess that Tim's butt still hurts
Even that wasn't enough to scratch the Olympic calm of Tim
. I tried to follow him until the end, but I knew that unless a mistake by him my chances of an overtake were 0. That mistake never happened. You really deserved it mate. Well done
About race 2 I can say that my biceps and quadriceps still hurts! I had 12 painful laps with Tim and a long snake of car behind. That was simply awsome. As I had to defend myself on the inside my pace was obviously a bit compromised by my brutal brakings and defensive lines. Every lap I had no chance to miss a braking point, and I can say that I nailed 12 brakings in row turning super tightly at the bend and exploiting the superior traction of my 4WD at the exit. As I usually suffer a bit during the last laps I found a fantastic ally in Kai (thanks mate
), that helped me to relax a bit after 12 laps of pure terror
That was surely the funniest race of my champ and it's always a pleasure to race "against" Tim.
Fabri don't worry... Nannini was like this, we loved him for that
It was even better for you! His car in AVUS caught fire!
I'm a bit worried about Jos cause I didn't see any video yet... What I have to do? I say a little prayer for you?
