Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see
cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

That is if I make it. Got a new PC, set it up today but cannot get my G29 wheel to work. It initialized ok but cannot get Logitech software to detect it, so I cannot setup any FFB. Can get controls to work ok in RRE but FFB is on full & in game FFB is greyed out so cannot change it. May replug old PC back in to race if I can't sort it.  ::)

Bit of a longshot but have you updated the Logitech gaming software on your new pc? There used to be a message on the RRE splash screen when starting up the game that the latest version was now required for all Logitech wheels.

I've tried the LGS & the latest G-Hub software, which I don't yet understand. LGS won't detect the wheel, although I'm not sure I downloaded the latest version, and although the wheel shows up on G-Hub I can't find anything relating to FFB in the setup options and it still does not enable the FFB in RRE.

Presume you're on windows 10 with your new pc - were you on win 10 with the old pc too? Have you tried pressing the detect controllers button in RRE on the controller profiles page?

Yes Frex, new PC is win10, old one was win7.

Well, I have got LGS to detect the wheel and FFB is no longer greyed out in game, but adjusting FFB in game makes no difference to the wheel, still really hard to turn even with FFB turned off!  ???
Have got 'allow game to adjust settings' ticked in LGS (even tried it unticked), so that should allow me to change settings in game, but it doesn't. Yeh, also tried detect controllers which does not seem to do anything.
Anyway part way there.

Funny race, without any training , just a few laps offline.

First time on this track for me, but the goal is the checkered flag and not the result.

Race; optimum start but Gengotti is in the best line and get the lead.
The mistake arrived just 10 min later, and Frex get the second position without any problem.

3rd place and funny moments whit sir thomas, i decided to stay near him for company.

Grats to Frex and Gengo , fast and solid as usual

Had disappointing evening, I couldn’t match my morning online lap times. In the race I settled down and put in some consistent laps. After Alessandro passed me I was confused by his driving and had a number of offs.

2 races in the the beamer and 2 disasters  ::) I'm hoping the car is under powered and that's why I'm losing so much lap time. Pushing too hard to try and keep up with the podium guys just meant the inevitable off was only a matter of time. Sadly I killed the car when it happened so game over :(

I think you deserved that one Riccardo after driving so well and leading so much of the race. I tried a few passing attempts but you had everything under control until your spin. Sorry to see that (and Alessandro small mistake too), but I'll take the win. Congrats all.

That sounds like maybe Windows is not seeing the device, or possible power cable problem?

Does your wheel show up under Windows game controllers, and can you test/calibrate it there? Does the wheel have buttons on it, and if so do they work as expected?

Yeh, wheel shows up in Windows devices & everything else works in game, just the FFB is not. I watched a quick vid on YouTube about setting up a G29 for RRE & it stated that there is also a 64bit executable file in addition to the regular RRE executable which you need to point the LGS at, so maybe that is what I am not doing right. Will check that out later, need to set up other things (GTL!) on the PC which are more pressing now.

Congrats on the win Frex. :clap:

Bill, i was simply waiting to you for some laps together...
I'm sorry if I confused you

Just a quick update on my FFB issue, it's not RRE causing it because having tried GT Legends this afternoon I found the same issue there too. So must be something with the wheel or Logitech software causing it.

Sounds to me like it could be a power issue. Either the wheel's PSU or Windows 10 being more aggressive on power management. I've been struggling with some flight sim panels and a PC that's been upgraded from 7 to to Windows 10. Although people also take about not using USB 3 ports and hubs with my problems.

I have not had any problems with my gaming laptop with RRE using USB 3 ports with Windows 10 and my G 25 wheel. (All my Windows 7 files were transferred to my laptop.)

Yeh, it is apparently recommended to use USB 2 ports for the G29 which is what I am doing. Had another go at solving it this afternoon with some 'cures' posted on the net, but so far no luck. All other USB devices I have connected work fine & everything on the wheel & pedals works ok except the FFB, as I said it is quite stiff to turn & there are no FFB effects, kerbs etc, at all. Will fire up the old PC tomorrow just to make sure it is not something with the wheel itself causing the issue. It does seem it is quite a common issue with the G29 from postings on the net, but no one seems to have a guaranteed cure, just 'try this' & 'try that'.
