PWGT3RS and CSP finally on the way to customers

Submitted by Thomas on Wed, 05/20/2009 - 12:28.
After going through customs for about ten days in the US we are happy to announce that the wheels and pedals are on the way to customers.

Tomorrow the first wheels will arrive depending on where the customer is located.

We ship from California and Germany.

The final driver is unfortantly still not ready yet but in the meantime you can use the driver of the Porsche 911 Turbo wheel or the Beta version from this blog.

From the blog. Now If only the delivery man was driving a Porsche.

Quote from KarateBoy :

Thanks for the quick reply.

The only square tubing I found at home depot was aluminum. Is that what
you used?

No, They had mild steel.

I found to be feel to malleable to be useful.

Not sure what you mean here?

I've bought Square tubing like that in Home Depot before.. A bit overpriced but It gets the job done.

Check if there are any industrial supply places near you. They often carry an assortment of metal sheet/pipe

Junkyards are a great place for cheap seats. Just be careful that they are at least semi clean :O

You can also get some pretty cheap "racing like" Seats from ebay.

If you are using one of the GTR cars that would be a WR. However Lapping online is much easier than In hotlap mode..

Quote from The Moose :

I think i could just drive the Spec Racer for the next year.
It's a pig to begin with, but once it clicks how to drive it you can really give it a good thrashing.

The LFS drifters would love it !

Fantastic car. I've been driving it for three days and have nearly cracked the magical 58 second mark at Lime Rock... Only 7/100ths to go.
I think I'm in love.

+1 It's an absolute blast to drive one you get it right.

Good luck Kristjan

Quote from bunder9999 :

sounds like you didn't turn off the pit speed limiter... push L.

cheers

Yep, The pedal bar does indeed drop when you are on the limiter.

I think he's saying that the text that people type should appear above their cars?

Or your own car?

If the first one then that's ridiculous.. And If the second one It would be extremely annoying imo.

I was told to expect them by about the 28th.

Quote from DaveWS :

Congrats to both racers, I think it's worth a thread tbh, I mean, it's a FORUM for a RACING simulator.

+1 And Grats to arrechee.


Much better than threads about some idiot owing another idiot money..

Quote from liveforspeedfan007 :

Because Macros make it more interesting to use. I have a G-15 keyboard and it has built in macros...

So... You are saying an automatic transmission is more "Interesting" to use than a manual?

Damn. I just typed out a whole post and went to press backspace and my browser went back to the last page *Tear*

Basically.. yeah nevermind..

Oh and I know two people in this thread I will never take advice from..

Quote from danthebangerboy :

There is a fairly simple guideline for this.

If you have a car that isnt turboed. (N/A) then the internals of the engine were not designed to cope with a turbo. A small turbo with very low boost may be ok but could still break your engine.

If you own a turbo car already and try and run huge turbos and/or stupid amounts of boost then you will either get epic turbo lag or break the engine.

Thats about it really.

Sigh....

No and Well duh If you run enough boost on anything it'll break.

Sure there is the possibility but generally no. The amount of misinformation on the internet is astounding.

for once and the only time

If you think you ever had privacy on the internet you are dead wrong. Even in the US.

Quote from hrtburnout :

It's wrong.

Do you know the George Bush one, which said "I accidentally the economy"? He didn't shove it up his arse. He accidentally ruined the economy. The fun is in leaving out the verb to confuse people. In the coke bottle case, he shoved it up his arse, but that doesn't mean that every accidentally has something to do with coke bottles.

I did a few of them, the overtaking ones were a bit aggravating though..

Wow, Those new sounds are truly amazing. I especially love the offroad and skid sounds.

Great job mate!

It has nothing to do with boost.(Kind of)


The real reason is half assed tuning. Most Turbo cars can be quite reliable. However tuning is quite costly and of course this is where most people skimp out.

Also turbo/supercharged motors are usually modified to make much more power than stock. sometimes over 200HP/L. If you compare a high strung n/a motor to a turbo/supercharged motor you likely wont see a big difference in reliablilty. Comparing a stock turbo car to a stock n/a car I can imagine the reliablility being very similar.


edit: Damn you Forbin!

Same happened to one of our guys(Teedot). A different race though it looks like.

Some of us started fine on KY3 and others were stuck on AS2

Hehe, Some of you guys...

Id' be up for it. If I could ever get rfactor to work!

Quote from sinbad :

It's a stupid film, but they all are, and in their own way they're entertaining. Obviously you don't take a single thing seriously, it's comic book stuff. The plot is a typical revenge story, but you don't expect originality or innovation from a film like this so it's not a disappointment.
Turn brain off, zone out, enjoy the car-centric silliness.

That is all you can really hope for. I just watched it today. The only thing that makes it bad is the people that think this really happens.
