Wow that FEAR combat thing is generous!!!

I'd feel cheated but I only paid about £15 for FEAR anyway and the single player missions were fun.

Bah women eh!

If you like footy then it's pro evo all the way, no better sofa game imho

Quote from Rtsbasic :

Well a few weeks ago I sold my used DFP for £50 inc postage to another LFS user. It had been extensively modified with a real wheel/pedal enhancements. Quite a few months back I sold a brand new DFP to another fellow LFS'er on here for £45 plus postage. I don't think their value depreciates much, you see used ones go for £50 upwards once in a while on Ebay in spite of new ones not costing much more. £35 plus postage sounds fair for yours, you might get more on Ebay but then you have the extra hassle & fees.

Thanks yeah I dont mind ebay, but really wanted to offer it here first to fellow LFSers... if it doesn't go by the end of Nov I'll slap it on Ebay

6 hours isn't too bad for a console game's single player campaign... 7 hours or so is about average... it's whether or not you want to play it through again that makes games stand out

Quote from JJ72 :

I went to brands whenever there're races last year, historic GP, bikes, WTCC whatever that goes!

Should be quite a while before I have a chance to get back though.

Cool, I've been there loads this year and quite a few times last year too! the WTCC was really good! Historic stuff is excellent too.

Nice bit of kit the 400d!

Quote from Thorvertonian :

I haven't played it for a while (Played it about a year ago @ an exhibition with Marlin Cars - Sports car company from Crediton where I used to work in a school down the road)... they had a simulator all set up, if I can't find it will contact them and see if they can remember!

OK cool!

Canon EOS350D, with a Sigma 50-500mm, and also a Canon 55-200mm USM for the closer ones that don't need so much zoom

Quote from JJ72 :

man I miss brands hatch :/

It's a fantastic track!

Quote from Thorvertonian :

there is one that has good clutch sim, but it's a parking sim, so pretty damn naff to play!

Lol what the hell? really? hahah cool! got a link!

Quote from nikimere :

looks like the last guy dies and is on his way to heavan

Hahha it was a very gentle roll... probably more gentle than his landing from that jump!!

Put him in the ring with Tito Ortiz, that'd be far more exciting

Excellent day and MUCH better weather than last year! Woohoo!

Some pics...

Slight mistake in the Pickup race going into Druids....er backwards!



Sideways Capri!

Quote from daveb948576 :

standard parcel is no more than £11-£12 anyway + £35 = £42 with £20 more i could buy a brand new one. people forget these are second hand items and are not really worth much. but because certain people want them they will pay silly prices for them. some have one on ebay for as much as £51 and £10 postage what are these people on there £62 new for crying out loud.

Buy a new one then £20 buys quite a bit of beer though

I'm really getting the hang of it now, I just beat my AS2 FOX PB by 0.10 seconds and can switch to the shifter and right foot braking no problems

Quote from daveb948576 :

have you got a price yet?

well put it this way i was bidding on one on ebay my max bid was £10.01p and postage was £15 and i wont bid anymore higher than that so if you want to stop playing your fancy G25 for a second :ices_rofl and tell me weither or not you would concider doing it at that price i would be very gratefull thanks.

I'd probably be looking for more than £25 quid to be honest as it'll cost quite a bit to post, I was thinking more like £35 + postage (honest postage, not ebay made up postage hahaha)

Good review, I agree on the underspringed shifter actually, wonder how stiff a spring you could use before it'd pull itself out of gear hmm

Lol @ hairy pedals!

If you're not used to the 900 degrees, try going up in steps, it's a good way to learn, try 270, then 320 etc and up in small steps. Get good at each before moving on

Well i've had the wheel a few hours now and tried with as many combos as possible... and here goes...

WHAT A LOAD OF CR*P!!

hahhaa only joking!

It's AWESOME! I'll list my favourite parts in order..

1. The Brake Pedal... It's awesome, it feels so damn good and I can now take the fox into the last bend of AS2 without locking up and still be as fast! GREAT!

2. The Wheel feedback/speed... when the wheel goes light now and you let it spin it's amazing, it feels so damn real (well, as close as we'll get for a while)

3. The Shifter in general.. ok so it's quite toy like, but it's brilliant to use, i've just finished 3 laps of Aston North in the LX4 using heel and toe (not something i've used much before but my last car had a racing clutch so needed to do it) and it's great... I think we'll see a LOT more LXx servers when the G25's start landing in their hundreds.

Also no-one has mentioned the shifter in sequential mode... I think it's ace, and will use it with RBR and any other driving game where you might not have paddles or a 6-gate.

4. EVERYTHING else, I love it all.... ok i have proud ownder disease at the moment, but it's rare to buy something and not find a reasonable niggle early. (xbox360 was also like this by the way, impressed!)

Anyway, screw you guys, i'm going back to my LX4

Quote from tpa :

Robster, you put that shifter on the wrong side

Hahaha was waiting for that!

Here we go, tried the shifter on the keyboard tray but the tray moved about too much in and out etc lol

Quote from tristancliffe :

The box is tiny isn't it! Half the size of the Momo's, yet with twice the 'stuff'! Amazing!

Yeah it's packed in the same way as the DFP, very well thought out... the nice cardboard logitech box that was outside the flash box will be v useful too for storing stuff!

will take a pic of my setup in a sec (screw the gym!!)

HURRAH!! IT TURNED UP!



I really love the shifter!! hahah promised myself I'd go to the gym before setting it up though! damn it! illepall

Still patiently waiting.... it went out for delivery at 2am though!! :S haha
