Sim gear up for grabs

[Mark J]

I have problems with my Driving Force GT that i don't know how to resolve. Is the Fanatec still available?

sorry Dimitar, everything is spoken for already.

No problem GT, i'm happy that the various sim gear will get a second life rather than sitting idly in my loft. I really should have moved it on a long time ago but forgot it was still there. Only Tim mentioning his hardware issues the other night prompted me into action. Besides, you and Stefan are almost family we've raced so long together 

i sold all my newer Fanatec gear to a guy on the Porsche cup forum but really should have offered it here first. 

[Dimitar Dulichki]

No problem. Great initiative from you, hope it will be used with joy by it's new owner.

Hey Dimitar. Looks like my DFGT will be redundand any time soon. Happy to pass it on to you if you want it. But if you're like me and fed up with it, you are better of sourcing a real upgrade in gear.

No, she doesn't - this is far too 'car geeky' and she'd be unlikely to track me further than my normal haunts in the race threads even if she did come on here

[Dimitar Dulichki]

I love DFGT but there is some problem with it in the last couple of weeks when it disconnects it self in the race session, and believe me it's a big problem It suits me great as i race maynly old games like GT Legends and GTR 2.

I am going to test it in the next week as i reinstall my PC because i thing that maybe the problem was with the driver and some win system files.

I'll be really happy to have your as well at least for back up, because now i can't afford buying new wheel.

As for the pedal set. If you think it will still work with current Windows, it would make a great setup with the CSR. Does it connect with USB or something?

I use BRD Speed7's with Win10 no problem. AC, GTL recognise them. Win10 knows what it is, no drivers. Connection is via USB, I think it's called USB A to USB B, like a printer cable. I use them as a second controller with my G27 wheel. Unfortunately, I have the 2 pedal version - no clutch (although there is space for one) - so AC is very difficult with a shifter. I'd love a clutch now, but BRD went out of business and I haven't found spares.

Thanks for the reminder Andy 

Good news, i tested the CSR Elite and the BRD's and both work and were detected in control panel correctly    Fanatec still provide the manual, firmware and drivers for the wheel on their website.

Will get the Logitech out next and check that.

[Stefan aka Postal]

 
That is music to my ears.

[Mark J]

Good news Goldtop, the Logi 25 works and still looks brand new!    I downloaded the latest drivers from Logitech and installed it fine, so will be winging its way to you soon.

Guys, some more gear up for sale.

I am selling my current triple monitor setup. 3x24" (1920x1080) Asus VC239H monitors and fully adjustable desk mount triples stand.  Price is £100 for the lot. A bargain as its about £600 worth of kit when new. All monitors work perfectly and still have original boxes. I would recommend a collection in person but could always arrange a courier at buyers cost. Shout up if interested, its a cheap way into a great triples setup.

[spanner]

Erm.. they look bigger than 16x9 24"s!

£100 for 3 is good, they might have been worth £600 when you bought them but now 24" are quite cheap.


I'm stuck what to upgrade mine to! 16:9 27"s are only going to be the same size as my current 16:10 24"s

[Mark J]

Of course that was original price, but these monitors still fetch upto £100 each on eBay. Which is where I’ll sell them if nobody wants the setup  More convenient for me to sell as a set and thought i would offer them on here first.

Triples and stand now sold elsewhere.
