wow.... is Logitech trying to pull an early April Fools prank or something? That looks like a total piece of crap... i'd rather have the OLD DFP then that fugly thing. And not to mention, since they supposedly designed it with Polyphony Digital.... why is there no clutch? Why is there no H-Shift?...... What a let down by Logitech. 
. I was amazed when I went from my DFP to a G25... it was like night and day...
On the plus side, maybe this means more sales for the Fanatec 911-wheel
(yes, i am in love with my 911-wheel) LOL

(yes, i am in love with my 911-wheel) LOLits the real world folks... dont expect a reply instantly.
usually if u apply for a job online and send in your CV, you're likely to not hear from that company for at least 2-3 weeks.

it took me a good while ... my clutch wouldnt work. the pots are ok... but the mounting is very ... blah
call logitech, you might still be under warranty. Not sure if its 1 or 2 yrs that they cover it for. If you are, they'll send you a new wheel.
Ok, after a couple of days with the wheel I am ready to post my thoughts.
First thing I did with this wheel is remove the foam from under the brake pedal. With that in place, the brakes feel like total rubbish. Even still, they don't feel right.... but it's alot better.
The wheel itself feels quite nice, i like the size. I can't say the same for the shifter or shifter mounts. The h-shifter is easy to mis-shift when its moving all over the place because of the poor mounts. 5th gear is also a bit of pain.... you really have to force the gear lever over and up to get it in. The centering issue is apparent, but not all the time. In LFS it can be fixed rather easily, but in other games such as GT Legends or rFactor it's not.
All drivers except version 0.42.6 cause FFB to be lost in ALL games.
Pedals and Steering occasionally cut out during races (the white/red lights on the wireless USB dongle go out then come back on... all within a second.. but it's enough to TOTALLY ruin someone's fun and race).
Overall, I find this wheel quite nice. I like the size of it over the G25, however the things I have mentioned above need to be addressed.

Thomas, i have sent you a PM, Can you please check? Thanks 
On another note, missed the delivery from the courier yesterday... getting my wheel this afternoon when they come back again... cant wait to put it up against my G25 and see what this wheel is made of

Hehe thats for sure! Thanks for the reply Thomas, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it, im gettin anxious
Ah.
Well the pots used in older Logitech wheels such as the DFP and DF were plastic... case and all... just all around cheap. The ones in the 911-wheel are metal... much more durable and shouldn't be susceptible to the pedal problems that plagued the DFP & DF. However only time will tell...
Yup they are the similar to what you would find in a car as well. I also saw on the 911-wheel website that they have carbon fibre in the belts to increase strength. Quite cool!
boo freaking hoo... here's a quarter.. call someone who cares.
Buy the damn game if you want your beloved XRT back, otherwise stop complaining.
Kanzai is right, you guys are already damn lucky enough to have online play...

i think how they work is more important then what they look like inside...
That FFB motor is HUGE haha
just got home and i was disappointed to see that my wheel is still not here...... 
Thomas, for testers in North America, are the wheels being shipped from the USA?

If you dont have a 911-wheel and are not part of this test, keep your crappy opinions to yourself. This is called a TEST period for a reason.
this may be silly.. but tried calibrating it in LFS as well?
Seems MS wants to take over everything these days...
Logitech products are by far the highest quality for the price. Almost ALL of my peripherals are made by Logitech (webcam, keyboard, mouse, Z-560 Speakers, G25, DFP, DF, etc etc). Im not opposed to MS taking over Logitech as long as quality isn't sacrificed.... If quality goes down the drain i will be quite disappointed.

Looks like im going to have to pick up mine at the post office, since I have been out of town for the last 3 days lol. Im assuming the pickup notice is stuck on my door right now so *crosses fingers*. I really can't wait to give this thing a whirl. Sucks that the drivers aren't supported in x64 editions of XP/Vista... thats going to be a BIG pain in the arse for me........ oh well, hope its worth it!
Can't wait to put this thing up against my beloved G25

are you trying to read the data from LFSWorld? a MySQL Database? Text File? Some more information would be helpful.
You gotta detect the penalty someway or another..... I'm getting to that point in my app as well... so if i figure something out i will let you know

AFAIK, LFS will send the ISP_PEN packet when a driver receives a penalty. Maybe set up a boolean in the player list that will turn to true when a driver receives a DT or SG penalty.
As for exiting the pits, maybe setup a routine that will detect when the penalty clears.
struct IS_PEN // PENalty (given or cleared)
{
byte Size; // 8
byte Type; // ISP_PEN
byte ReqI; // 0
byte PLID; // player's unique id
byte OldPen; // old penalty value (see below)
byte NewPen; // new penalty value (see below)
byte Reason; // penalty reason (see below)
byte Sp3;
};
// Penalty values (VALID means the penalty can now be cleared)
enum
{
PENALTY_NONE, // 0
PENALTY_DT, // 1
PENALTY_DT_VALID, // 2
PENALTY_SG, // 3
PENALTY_SG_VALID, // 4
PENALTY_30, // 5
PENALTY_45, // 6
PENALTY_NUM
};
// Penalty reasons
enum
{
PENR_UNKNOWN, // 0 - unknown or cleared penalty
PENR_ADMIN, // 1 - penalty given by admin
PENR_WRONG_WAY, // 2 - wrong way driving
PENR_FALSE_START, // 3 - starting before green light
PENR_SPEEDING, // 4 - speeding in pit lane
PENR_STOP_SHORT, // 5 - stop-go pit stop too short
PENR_STOP_LATE, // 6 - compulsory stop is too late
PENR_NUM
};

Oh crap, thats right! i totally forgot about the master server moving lol 
then give me what your smoking.
btw... you should try using the search function sometime.
STOP YOUR DAMN BASHING ALREADY.
You cant blame a hosting company for YOUR INCOMPETENCE.
Go read up on how to run an LFS server before you start bitching like a pansy about something that is TOTALLY YOUR FAULT. Better yet, turn off your computer and never turn it back on. It will thank you, and so will we.
*apologies to the OP for messing up your thread, but this prick has gotten under my skin really fast.

We at Halfords Racing use 500Servers and have had nothing but excellent response from them when we needed it. Most support tickets were answered within a couple of hours....
Obviously you havent submitted one, hence why you have received no response.
Your bashing of 500servers quite inappropriate. You cant blame them for your lack of knowledge.
EDIT: just realized i double posted... Oops LOL
