Right... So, things just got interesting. I put my old DFGT + Wheel Stand Pro setup up for sale westerday. I asked 100€ for it. It took 15 minutes and the setup was sold for full asking price.

So, today I was window shopping (again) at the website of my trusty electronic/tech store and what did I see. The T300RS Ferrari Integral, the setup I was supposed to buy in near future, with a higher price! The f*cking store raised the price of the setup by 50€! Now it costs the same as the T500RS, 450€!

So basically it's back to the square one with the whole wheel upgrade project, but now without a wheel... Well, I guess they also realized that 400€ for that setup was a steal. So the problem is now that if I already invest 50€ more, should I buy the T500 instead? Or some other setup?

Sigh... I really hope they only increased the price because Christmas is coming and that they will lower it ones New years eve has passed...

I can try to write some kind of review of it when and if I get it. It'll probably be out in late January.
I'll give you heads up in this thread when I'm going to release it.

Thanks for sharing your opinion Razor! Good points and great information.

I'm still leaning towards the T300. The reliability problems don't really scare me off. The alcantara edition just such a good deal. I've heard that they've made a "facelifted" version of the T300 that has a small cooling fan inside. I wonder if they have been able to make it more reliable than the orginal.

I personally don't feel (pun intended) that the Feel VR wheel is the one for me. I bet it is good wheel but I think the T300 might suit me better. I don't have a opportunity to hard mount the setup anywhere and I bet they don't make a Wheel Stand Pro for it (yet). Also the game support is another thing I'm scared of. Are the listed games tho only ones that support that Feel VR wheel?
I don't feel comfortable in investing almost 400$ to a unknown wheel that I get 4 months later.

I'm gonna put my DFGT for sale and if and when someone buys it i'm gonna make my desicion about the next wheel. I'm still open to new ideas about my next wheel!

Thanks for the replys!

I've been doing some research and I'm actually leaning towards the T30RS Ferrari Integral setup. You get the T300RS servo base, 110€ T3PA pedals and 180€ F599XX Evo wheel rim for 400€. That is prerty good deal if you ask me.
I think 300€ for the G29 ("rebranded" G25) is a bit too much. I mean by paying "only" 100€ more you can get so much more. Belt driven FFB, Ferrari licenced 30cm Alcantara rim and quality set of pedals that beat G29 pedals hands down.

Thank you lucaf for letting me know about that Gigantti sale! 200€ for the G29 makes it a lot more appealing but still after reading and watching some reviews I still feel like it's a "toy" compared to Thrustmaster products.

Ok, so, I'm currently using a Logitech Driving Force GT. I've been using it for eight years now and it has worked perfectly. Now I just feel like it's time to upgrade to a new wheel setup that I can use another eight years.

My budget is about 400€ and I wouldn't really want to buy a second hand setup. I've been thinking about buying a setup that has H-shifter and clutch pedal, but the only one that fits in my budjet is Logitech G29 since I also have to buy a Wheel Stand Pro (100€) to use the wheel.
I have also been thinking about the Thrustmaster T300RS. The price is same as G29 without shifter, about 300€, but from what I've heard the quality of the pedals isn't that great and the stock pedals don't come with clutch. The servo base and wheel seem to be higher quality than the G29. Also, the TH8A shifter for the T300RS is quite expensive.
There are also different setup versions of the T300RS. The base setup costs 300€. The Gran Turismo setup, with GT-logo wheel and T3PA pedals costs 390€. The Ferrari Integral setup, with Ferrari 599XX Evo wheel and T3PA pedals cost 400€.

What are your opinions about the G29 and T300RS? Would it be "too big" of a leap to jump from 100€ DFGT to 400€ T300RS setup since I'm not a professional that drives simulators every night? And sorry about the long post.

We had a conversation about the same thing over here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/1917-Cars-we-wanna-see-in-S3/page/177

I am currently running my own GTR offline championship.

Quote from Flotch :

new interior = incompatible patch.
For long Scawen did not want to make incompatible thing that would lead to clear hotlap chart for example.

Did I understand right? If they make new interior for FXO/R, they have to clear the hotlap chart?
Sounds pretty strange.

Why not some brand new car?
How many XR variations do you want to have in LFS? It's like to have Golf 1.6, 1.4TSI, 2.0TDI, GTD and GTI in one game. What for?

Well, Gran Turismo 6 has like 50 different R34 Skylines. I think we should make XR the R34 of LFS.

Anyway. I understand. Maybe we don't need any more XR variants.

OT: does anyone know when we are getting updated interiors for FX and FZ cars? I bet new interiors don't require the new tire physics...

XRR is race car with slicks and wings. It also has 500hp single turbo engine and it weighs 1100kg.

The XRTT would have been a street car. Like a XRT, but with bigger engine. No wings or slicks. It would have been a competitor for the FZ5 and other LFR class cars.

LX8 GTR: 3 liter V8, 345hp, 660Kg, RWD
RB4 GTR: 2 liter turbo I4, ~500hp, 1100Kg, 4WD
XRTT: 2 liter twin-turbo I4, ~350hp, 1200Kg, RWD

+1 for this idea.

Intel core i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz w/ referece cooler
16GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 550ti @ 900MHz, 1024MB VRAM w/ reference cooler
3 TB 7200rpm hard drive
64-bit Windows 7 SP1

LFS runs great with this setup. Solid 60FPS all the time with Vsync on.

Thank you!

We want to get on with other things

What kind of other things? New car maybe? Or track?

I'm not that good in skinning openwheelers, doing quite hard on them. Nevertheless I finished some simple work which is acceptable I hope.



DOWNLOAD

Does anyone have this skin in higher res than 1024x1024? L4P seems to be down.

Great job mate! Thank you!

Does anyone have the latest version of this addon pack? And could he/she share it with me?

I downloaded the DX9 thing and it works great. Thank you all!

E: I have Win 7 Home Premium, dunno what Service Pack.
E2: Service Pack 1

Ok. Thank you Scawen!

Quote from Gutholz :

What windows version?
Newer windows should come with directX already installed.
You can also press windows-key+R to open the "Run"-menu-thing and type:
dxdiag
Then it shows in "system informations" which directx version is installed.

DirectX version: DirectX 11

So, does this mean I have to download the thing from Microsoft site?

Hello!

So, I decided to uninstall the old (0.6F?) LFS completely and download it again with the new update, so I could do a fresh start. The problem is, when I try to start the game, it just opens a small window where it says: DirectX End-User Runtime must be installed.

What does that mean? And what is the thing I have to download?

Could someone explain me what it is? This isn't my own computer so I wouldn't like to install any random software on it. :S

Thanks!

I would replace CPU with i5 and GPU with R 270X (or some other radeon card)

Wow! Looks very nice! :eye-poppi
