The reson i need a Good PSU is because o have a another graphic card GeForce 8800GTs.

So what PSU should i take paste links please

Money limit is 40.00 GBP - 45.00GBP thanks.
P.S.
bought another psu today and it blew up in 20 mins when i was playing Colin Mcrae DiRt. going to give the PSU back i bought it for 35.00GBP and its "AlphaPower 450W on ebay 800W AlphaPower costs 30.00GBP
So it blew up because it was CHEAP ? thanks !!!

Look for the Corsair 400cx. It should be fine for your setup. If you don't mind spending a little more, the 450vx will be fine too. That's plenty of power for a 8800 series card and a quad.

both used. I never pay retail price now'a days.

Lol ... the setup plan at the attached file is the same in all lanugages, I don't want to force you to learn Swedish ...

But thank you for the link ... I didn't know about the 101% in LFS since I never used the Logitech Profiler before. I allways run direct in LFS, but now I wanted to sign more buttons so the easiest way was to actually use it.

Never the less, I tryed those settings with about the same result ... no ffb on the track itself and only the slightest feeling on the curbs and off track. The only thing that happens when I put the slider up in LFS (up to 100) is that the wheel get havier to turn around.

try uninstalling all logitech software/drivers and getting the latest g27 drivers off of the logitech site

See this post for more details about the problem. If it only happens under win7, that's really strange. Try it on another computer maybe?

but pretty certain it has to do with the optical encoder in the g25.

Quote from MartinAM :

Yes. that's exactly what happens here. 50% = red line.
I thought it was something wrong with my G27.
Thx, for help, and sorry sp stupid question. I was keyboard player for a long time now, and with ever experience to FFB wheel.

np. Hope you're enjoying the new wheel

Quote from MartinAM :

Hello.
I am new to wheel and I got today G27.
My problem is when the car is in NEUTRAL (XFG) I then push throttle pedal 1/4 down, the RPM instead of holding on 2000rpm it keep increasing, slowly but it is increasing.

I thought than when I push throttle pedal 50% in, then I get 4000rpm and the car will keep it there until i push Throttle more, but what happening is that the car quickly increases throttle to 8000rpm even when my pedal is ony 50% down. Why? Any one has got a solution?

(BTW. I display throttle movement on the lower right corner of the creen, and it shows 50% on scale.

That's how it is supposed to be.

RPM feedback isn't instant, 50% =/= 4000 rpm. If you're idling and you push the accelerator down to 50%, it will eventually get up to a certain RPM and stay at that RPM thereafter. Though, FWIW, usually 50% will get you to redline in my experience.

Quote from PioneerLv :

I'm really close to getting dead G25 almost for free. There is going to be a need for two electric motor replace which makes Force Feedback effect.

I'm interested in the fact - it would be really nice if somebody could let me (or us) know about his experience with replacing G25 electric motors, of course if here really is such people.

(giving second life is a good for something is a good thing, I think)

It's really simple/easy, but tiring and time consuming. Get in a comfortable position and take some breaks. I made the mistake of trying to take on the task when I was coming down with a cold and just felt awful before I could finish.

Keep an empty box nearby for all the little screws that you'll pile up and make mental pictures of the assembly. The worst part is taking apart the piece that actually holds the 2 motors. DEFINITELY have a drill handy with small phillips head attachments and possibly hex for removing the wheel.

FWIW I'm too lazy to reattach the cover at the end and now it's just open to the elements . More airflow I guess

Great, now we'll have ****ing half the forum writing their christmas lists as they're all about the right age to not know the truth yet.

The truth is a lie.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

... What place in Canada do G25''s cost 500$?! I paid 250~ for mine when they first came out.

"400km from nearest city"

He lives at the North Pole!

IT'S SANTA!!!!!

Definitely a power/power supply issue. Try find a replacement for the brick in the power line or somehow do more tests on it *shrug* All those symptoms point to a power issue

Quote from AtomAnt :

SCCC would cover the shipping, but I think a better idea would be to give to your local food bank...that way no one gets to competitive for the win, this is designed to have fun and meet old and new friends.

A little competition is always good ^-^ It could be a random winner, though

Quote from AtomAnt :

Post any set here...the membership will tell you how good it is, i'm sure there will be a lot of sneaky MRT drivers.

Glad to see some hype for this event.

AAnt.

There will be some prizes, lfs stickers, maybe a shirt or 2, and if anyone breaks the wr during the race (without cutting) you just may win a special bank note.

I'd be willing to donate a PC game (Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent or TimeShift) as a winner/podium prize to US members. Possibly international, but shipping would be $11+ to non-canada int'l =(

If someone can send a good setup I'd be more than happy to join

See you there!

Seems a bit overpriced for information that's already on your screen.

But I guess for the hardcore Shift+F'r it might be worth it.

Also this seems like a better deal, but lap times aren't viewable =( http://www.leobodnar.com/products/SLI-M/

Quote from Shadowww :

Don't you think 280 would be enough for 1080p?

Possibly, but if he wants an absolute minimum of 120fps, might as well make sure you don't get any dips!

Anyways, if you are going to wait, definitely grab a GT300 series card over a gtx 285/280/275. Hopefully the new gen will have a better price/performance ratio.


edit: gtx 285's are going for $275 shipped on forum marketplaces FWIW.

Modern Warefare 2. God are people stupid? Theres no 6 in the name therefore it isnt 6 MW2 get used to it.

"double-u" is far too many syllables for a game acronym. M + W + 2 takes too long to say. "cod six" is much quicker and less awkward and nerdish.

Quote from zapz :

Looks like I misspoke. I checked last night and you can do AA in 3D with the invidia drivers.

In that case gtx 285 for 1080, gtx 275 for 1050.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Shit.. that bites.

I tried!

Yeah. Shame they make you use 1 displayport. very few monitors have it

I think those might be what you need?

I picked the shortest ones, there's likely longer ones for more cost.

You'd need an ACTIVE adapter to use it with the 5800. Those go for around $100 USD.

Quote from RedStarArmy :

Well i guess thats true. I'm not running any texture mods for LFS. But all graphic settings are maxed out in LFS and nHancer (HQ, 16x,16x) at 1440x900.

Yeah LFS without max aa/af = *puke*

Quote from RedStarArmy :

I'm running an older system (e8500 at 3.8, 2 gigs at 1066, 512mb 8800GTS) and have it locked at 60 fps (unlocked 100+). I have never inched off of 60fps at any point of any track with full grids. I'd look into why the i7 is getting that performance.

Depends on AA/AF settings as well as resolution and textures along with any mods, especially since an i7 will not bottleneck a non-sli/cf setup.

Quote from Kaiser.cl :

Hi there.

Has anybody find where to buy the Johnson HC685LG-011?? That is exactly the motor that the G25 uses.

Or somebody knows about an equivalent motor?

I had found the HC685-102 but is not the same motor. This one has more speed, less torque and works with less V.

Please if anybody can help with this. I want to see my G25 working again!

By the end of the week I will have 4 extra G25 motors. Do you need 2 of them? I've never shipped to Chile before but if you can cover shipping charges (USPS estimate appears to be $11 USD for a 1lb package) I'd be happy to send you what you need PM me

I think 1 of the 2 I currently have are dead, and I will let you know the condition of the 2 motors I will be receiving within the end of the week

(if I have 3 working, I'll be happy to send you 1 or 2 depending on situation as well, Pioneer.)

oh BTW, the optical encoder will not work so only the motors will be available.

Quote from JasonJ :

Actually yes, check my sig.

I appreciate your details and info. For me I don't think it's CPU limited because I get more FPS turing off AA/AF, I'll post some more comparisons a bit later when I got some more time.

The screen shots are small yes, but they are also hyperlinks. All the shots were done at 8xAA, 16xAF set by LFS. (Let Application decide set in CCC)

Thanks for the info on temps, I thought to turn on the fan to manual, but didn't want to shorten it's lifespan having it run flat out all the time. As long as 69°C is fine then no worries.

Try using CCC AA/AF. I can set max with edge detect and max af with LFS and get 100-150 FPS. Adaptive AA doesn't change anything for me on my 4870 *shrug*

Try using older drivers?

your FFB is probably up too high. I'm pretty sure these settings work for dfgt as well. Make sure your in-game FFB isn't more than around 40% depending on your car. fz5 should be around 10%.
