Is it just me or force-feedback feels just horrible? Any tips? :/

75% of the servers were Mecklenburg which was the horrible RP map. ._.

p.s. I'm still playing it and even though the official website down, the co-creator of the game Vino (Jorge Rodriguez) is still supporting the old community on a different website and is currently in the making of a new open-source TS-like game on the Source engine. !

GT3RS. Apparently it's the same as the GT2 minus XBox support. Price is fair and since it's available in the ClubSports package for $330US, I can afford it.

It's all down to the shipping price.

Right now I decided to go with the Fanatec. The pros outweigh the cons, imo. Just hoping for a sane shipping price.

Reminds me of the TS-RolePlaying community of the old Half-Life mod, The Specialists.

Oh, nevermind me. I didn't notice it's Sunday. My work schedule is really weird, I'm actually at a night-shift at work right now.

I'll let you guys know what's up tomorrow when they hopefully reply. If shipping is under $150US, I'll probably buy the Fanatec. :X

-EDIT: I think I might be dyslexic. :|

It's been two days since I emailed Fanatec about shipment methods/prices to Israel but still no reply. Is there any other way to contact them?

Quote from -NightFly- :Seems a pretty naive thought for me...for example, in estonia, prices of goods are as expensive as our neighbours: finland (sugar, milk etc are even more expensive btw)...but...paychecks are 4 times lower here.

Same about Israel. Minimum wage here $5.9US/hour. Average salary is under 50% of what it is in the US. Under 40% than in Britain/Switzerland.

Cars have a 120% tax on them. VAT is 16%, customs are 16%.

I wanted to buy a G27 ($300US) but apparently all shops here sell it for $550US because of customs ($48US) + VAT ($48US) + shipping ($120US because Israel isn't part of Europe).

Yeah, this country is a crap place to live at. ._.

I don't care much about winning because I usually fail, I'm good at it. I want to have as much fun as I can. I think the Fanatec's pedals will prove to be alot more fun thanks to the brake pedal. I emailed them and if shipping to my country is under $150US, I'll go with the Fanatec.

Btw, how can the Fanatec be mouted to my computer table? The DFP mounts perfectly...

[QUOTE=Bose321;1636591]Oh really? Like which games? I've been using a Fanatec wheel for a while and didn't find a game that didn't support my GT3RS.[QUOTE]

Oh, what I meant is if you use the G27 wheel with the Fanatec pedals seperately, they won't work in RBR for example. If you use the Fanatec pedals with a Fanatec wheel, it should work properly.

I live in a country that isn't even listed on the Fanatec website so I'll just email them and see how much shipping might cost. It'll be at least $120US but possibly more.

GT3RS is 180 but comes without pedals... It's an extra 200 for those.


Also, Bose, did you own a G25/G27 or used one for a while? Because if your opinion is one-sided then it isn't worth alot.

Well, CD-Key is free but how can I get the game? Torrent?

I think if I could have the G27 with the Fanatec pedals by default I would've been the happiest in the world. But I can't afford the G27+Fanatec pedals seperately so it's a pickle.

I really hate my DFP's brake pedal, is the G27 an improvement in comparisson?

Quote from sil3ntwar :Can't play on Monza because you need GTR2 to install it. I have GTR2 but it thinks its a pirated copy....absolutely ridiculous to have to buy another game to play this online anyway.

GTR2 is now available for free, you can get a free CD-Key from some German computer-hardware website. If you guys are interested, I can share the URL when I get back home.

Oh and yeah, I bought nKPro a few days ago, didn't have a chance to play it yet but I can't wait.

Any Fanatec reverts from G25/G27?

I'm going to buy a new wheel this week, my old DFP is just not cutting it anymore. Lots of info about both wheels but unfortunately I can't try both wheels before deciding which one to buy. What I managed to gather so far:

G27:

Popular, supported by all games, is generally sturdy, medium-quality pedals, poorly made shifter

Fanatec:

Not supported in all games, high-quality pedals, somewhat pricier.


What else should I know before deciding? Thanks guys.

I'm surprised this is getting so many positive opinions. Not as Arcade as I expected, it seems?
Becoming a racer

Sup menz, I've been around on and off for a while but I never considered myself a racer. I've always wanted to get better at this but I figured that the reason I never got as good as I know I could be is because I get frustrated fast.

I tend to jump into the most complicated and thorough information available and with no basis to build upon, I usually crash, burn and give up.

Help me guys to become a better racer by walking the small steps, not jumping into giant shoes that don't fit. I have a DFP and LFS/nKPro/RBR.

lol halp lol

I really hate the menus of modern racing games like DiRT3 and F12011. The game looks good. I'm still not sure if I like it though, I'll try it more thoroughly when I get back from work in 3 days and we'll see.

Quote from shashdev :That means it took 6000 years to reach a level where we could have the technology to start trying to contact other forms of intelligent life.

Leaving Earth's atmosphere is nowhere enough to actually be able to meet other forms of intelligent life - Our technology is not advanced enough to a) travel fast enough far enough and b) sustain a human alive long enough for such a journey.

You can forget about it.
