It definetly is a CAR, uhm 4 wheels, engine and that sort of parts you'll find in any automobile :rolleyes:
Allthough, I do agree its a rubbish thing (X6, yes that stupid new SUV)
Thats what is written in the mag, that was testing it, I can scan the page and post it, but it will be hardly usefull as it is in russian
I never said it had G25 internals, did I? It has FFB technoligies that were first time implemented in G25, not its internals. FFB became smoother, and way faster than DFP.
Thats absolutly NOT true. If you ever took the wheel off your G25 you'd know it. There are only two wires coming to the red buttons on the wheel, and thats all. You can easily take the wheel off, by unplugging those wires. Putting another wheel should be easy, because G25's wheel is mounted on 6 bolts (which you can see around the Logitech logo, so if the distance between bolt holes of your aftermarket wheel matches, there is nothing stoping you from doing so. Flappy paddles will remain untouched as they are connected to the wheel column only.
Regarding durability, as the wheel is heavier, it might put extra load on motors, so you'd need to rise the FFB. Extra weight might influence on motors life, but I have no idea how much.
There are quite a lot of G25s with aftermarket wheels fitted, so you're not the first one with such idea
Ofcourse it invalidates warranty, so make your decisions wisely
There are not buttons inside the shifter that tell the game gear # is engaged, there are two pots, just like the joystick, not buttons. You are right about the wear though, it happends with time, so it's either pot dieing or the soldering which connects pot with wires coming to the circuit board, which is often the weakest link
The easiest way will be just setting the pedals of Sidewinder to separete mode, and then just set it in the options.
If that isn't possible, use DXTweak2 to adjust the MS pedal's axis in the way, so only the travel of right pedal is read, and then just set it in the options.
Thanks, yes, I've seen that command, but as you've said yourself, its a completly diffirent thing, and doesn't work the way I'd like it too.
Well, the decision I've come up with is to have a text saying "Check WTC" everytime I leave pits, just to remind me. Thanks for help anyway
so...in your opinion, when the car is stalled with Reverse gear engaged, someone bumps into you from the back, so the car jumps in forward direction, the motor should bump start? You do relize even in theory if it will start working in that situation, it has to be rotating backwards, which obviously is impossible.
Why not getting the wheel to that fancy store and ask those guys if they know whats wrong and can it will be fixed and for what price? I'm quite sure they might help you, and repair cost will be waaaaay lower than buying a new wheel. Worth a try
