Never mind the positions.........I finished a second race !! woohoo
Hopefully I have removed the last of the gremlins, although I was wrestling with the last of them as I joined the server last night.
I offer the following experience in case anyone else has similar probs in the future.
I was having issues with my G25 which had been losing its functions and calibration in what appeared to be a random way. Sometimes I would get in the car and the engine would just be revving with no steering or pedal response. The next time I would have steering but no throttle, another time no gears
!!!!
I checked the profiler and all seemed OK , but each time I joined the server something was wrong??? Also when the G25 failed sometimes GPL would CTD and I would have to reboot???!!
So, I wondered if the new rig was the problem. It had 2 x USB 3 ports on top into which I had plugged the G25. hmmmmm? I wonder if the Logitech software/hardware is incompatible with the hi-speed USB?
So I re routed the cable to the USB 2 ports on the rear of the box ( cutting my wrist on a shelf bracket in the process!!. But no pain, no gain eh?) and rebooted.
Straight into GPL, full function on wheel/pedals/shifter
The graphics were now perfect and the GreenHell has never looked so good. I was interested in getting to the finish and proving the stability of the rig, so I did not bother with setting a qually time and opted for the Eagle climax as a safe drive.
The setup was not quick, but was very safe and controllable ( although I still managed a couple of spins!!) and I got quicker each lap without really pushing hard.
Grats to the fast bunch at the front. Maybe I can get my mojo running again and provide some problems for you guys in the future
Apologies for the tangle with Billy on Lap1. I had a much better run of the preceeding corner and was drawing alongside. Your car was just vanishing into my blind spot when I saw your front left wheel move my way. I squeezed myself onto the grass but could not avoid the tangle
I suspect that you did not expect me to be there and that I was in your blind spot too? Sorry
