My CSP's arrived within a couple of days so you shouldn't have to wait long.  I'm still very glad I bought mine - lovely bits of kit.  You'll probably want to stiffen up the brake pedal by moving the brake's pushrod one hole down when you first get them.

Cheers, Ross.

Windows Live Mail works fine on Windows 7 and does everything you need really.  Thunderbird is a very good alternative if you like having access to every option under the sun.

Cheers, Ross.

lol Peter.

NTM in the Skip definitely requires a smoother driving style now, much more sensitive to over driving.  Seems to be much more about tidy driving, going into corners much slower than you'd initially think while trying to avoid too much sliding.  Same for braking and throttle, it now seems to be very much about keeping the levels of slip down and looking after the tyres.

Should make racing very interesting as I think there'll more opportunities for cock-ups unless you're bang in the zone.

Still can be fun mind you, but it's just not that quick any more and as the tyres slip/grip/slip, big tank slappers are very much on the cards.

Suzuka's fun.

I'd probably be up for a bit of a SROU NTM series if you get this organised.

Cheers, Ross.

Look - Oily's causing trouble elsewhere already....

Hi guys (also posted on iRacing's forum),

As I've built myself a new bigger rig, I've got a spare Playseat Evolution up for sale, here's a photo I just took:-



Mine includes the adjustable seat runners.  All in excellent used condition - just rubs and marks on the metal powder coating where it's all been fitted together.

I'm selling this for £220.

I'm also selling a Logitech Momo wheel and pedals (the red one, ie. the first of Logitech's proper wheels) in excellent condition with all it's original packaging etc, pic here:-



I'm selling this for £60.

Buy the pair and I'd accept £260 and I'll also throw in a Logitech Wingman Force joystick which I no longer use.



Collection only on these as they're too heavy to pack and post. I'm in Knutsford, 5 mins from J19 of the M6 or they can be collected from me at work in Manchester (M14 7HR) during the day.

PM me if you're interested otherwise ebay next weekend!

Cheers, Ross.

Very interesting stuff!

I wonder if we'll get a McLaren MP4-12C GT3 car in iRacing....?  That would save me a lot of money! lol

iRacing site just went down for maintenance.....

I've always wondered what the Silver Crown is like, as it sounds insane with 800+ bhp and only 700Kg odd.  Let us know Dave!

Cheers, Ross.

I am using an ATI card but I perhaps wasn't clear - it's not stretching I'm referring to, it's the warping that you get as a result of the wider FOV that only goes away if the game you're playing knows to render the side screens from the correct perspective like iRacing does.  It's probably not that big an issue really I suspect, but it's what makes iRacing so good to run with triple screens.

Cheers, Ross.

If I were you I'd plan on inclining them by approx. 30 degrees, but bolting them to a piece of MDF (370mmx370mm) with an appropriate 'lift' at the rear of the MDF should do you fine.  Because of the extra pressure you'll be putting through the brake pedal you'll want to make sure they can't slide forward though.

They are really excellent pedals, mine arrived about 3 days after ordering and the build quality is fantastic - pretty much all machined Alumninium.  The electronic fittings are the only part that perhaps look a bit fragile, but that's really only because the sensors are more exposed than you'd expect.  After using these with a load cell, I couldn't go back to a spring/pot combo at all.

Cheers, Ross.

Had friends round so missed my practice time for this other than a few laps.  Seemed like pretty good fun to drive though - still getting to grips with using an H shifter and clutch at the moment anyhow.

Hope it was a good race!

Cheers, Ross.

Fanatic CSPs Tony. They're mint.
