anyone have progress on this?

it looks cool and adds a bit of some what realistic feeling

after 3 weeks of no reply, Thomas (aka arnold) from fanatec replyed and asked if i would like a Turbo S replacement!!!?!?! I thought they were sold out for months? it looks like you can by it regularly in on their website now so i guess they decided to make more of them?

I just dont know if its worth it for me to try fanatec again.... honestly i havent missed it too much, i have 2 jobs and school so im always busy, im wondering if i should just return it and enjoy driving in real life (i drive a mercury sable woo hoo..)

thats an awsome idea for the ebrake! wish that a new wheel would come out with one built in that would be great!

honestly i think its just time for me to start project car, and not waste more money on simulators, id really like to get an early 90's 240 and just weld the diff and have some fun (and not get arrested or crash, only 2 downsides of not playing in a sim)

so you guys probably remember my thread about drifting the 911 wheel 900 degrees, i use 45% in game and 66% on wheel feedback.

i used the rb4 for drifting with about 20% rear bias.

anyways, i burnout the feedback motor on my first wheel and i made a youtube video about how when i starts up it barely moves.

so after paying $60 to ship my wheel back i waited bout 2 weeks then go my new wheel.

the pedals never worked so i didnt get to play for like a week, but then after some communication with Thomas (AKA arnold s) the owner/manager of fanatec, he actually called me oversees and helped me reconfigured the software which made the pedals work. so that mad me happy....


and now......

drifting on the 420 drifting autocross server with the rb4, i began to smell burning electronics, and the wheel let go AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! 45% in game and 66% on wheel remember using a AWD with back to back drifitng.

so now when i plug the wheel in it turns all the way right and never comes back.

I have just had it, this is the 2nd $400 wheel that has broken because IT JUST CANT TAKE HARD DRIFTING.

im not bashing the damn thing or anything like that, but i am snapping the wheel back in forth wheel drifting just like i would amagine everyone does on 900 degrees, i didnt have the feedback up crazy or anything, but i believe what kills it, if i come out of a drift wrong and mess up the next corner entry and the car understeers out of the drift, i think the turning back is what destroys it, and thats bullshit, i know in real life that would shake the car up a bit, understeering heavily but why cant this wheel handle it???????

Ive asked fanatec to buy the wheel back, and im assuming they will say no so i need opinons on what to do here im $480 in the whole (after buying the rennsport wheelstand).

So what do i do?

hey guys i have a projection tv from like 8 years ago, its 67 inch, weight god damn 500 lbs.... anyways, i hooked the vga to the back and to the computer and when i start it, i get the loading screen then all of a sudden it shakes everywhere and then goes black and i never get a picture again????? what could this be? any ideas? ive reconnected the cable, and changed everything i could on my tv. ALSO, it says on my tv, must be in SLEEP MODE or something like that....?

its a mitsubishi projector tv bought in like 2001. very much appreciate all help thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds great keep this thread update with progress!!!!

got a new 911 turbo wheel today!!!!!!!! on the rennsport wheel stand it rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this new wheel is also quieter than the last but my favorite part is it feels like the bars for the shifter are heavier, and the shifter barely moves at all when shifter where becfore it would shake all over the place.

but im saying the intake noise sounds like a crappy vacuum cleaner, can you implement your own style of intake noise and make it work like you do a bov?

have a great v6 intake noise like a VQ motor or a duratec motor would be great.

6 CYL my bad not that big of a deal, now whos got engine sounds?

http://www.hyperdrive.com.au/productdetail.aspx?prodid=10

shakes your body during gameplay similar to a subwoofer under the seat idea.... anyone tried it?

Well search around (did wanted to look through 30 pages of the sound thread) and couldnt find exactly what im looking for, ive got my perfect tire screech mod, great turbo flutter, but just have not found an exhaust tone im crazy for and have not been lucky creating my own.

im really crazy about the g35/skyline/supra exhaust (everyone is)

my buddy owns a g35, with pop chargers, and hks hi power exhaust with res. test pipes and it sounds AMAZING! if i could just get something to sound like that, with a little turbo to it, it would be great!

btw, i use mainly the rb4 and the GT so thats the sounds im looking for.


thanks, feel free to share all, BTW THIS IS NOT A TURBO FLUTTER DISAGREEMENT THREAD!

got to thinking today, can you add a seperate intake noise? it has the opening like you can but can you use intake noise like this?

g35 pop chargers?

i had the feedback at 100 on the wheel but only about half way in the LFS menu, see here.

I have the 911 wheel, after 10 days it broke and im waiting on a new one, right now im seriously considering selling it and getting a g25.

only things that really stop me, is the way the wheel looks, the nice grip, having less wires, actually, now that i am typing it all down it doesnt seem like much, i feel like ive always regretted getting the 911, and originally the decision was made on the shifter, i thought the g25 shifter was so crappy, but it looks amazing (and now that you can modify it...), anyways, is it worth it to sell my 911 and get a g25? i hate having a wire mess and thats about the only thing keeping me from doing it.

and also, all i play is LFS and the 911 seems to have a problem with that (who knows maybe just a bad wheel) but if i have the same problem with this new wheel i will sell it.

I drift with the rb4 cause im a noob (80% power to the rear) and when drifting in cirlcles (something i like doing and i was doing it to get used to the wheel) the force feedback would kick in the wrong direction and try to rip the wheel from my hand during a nice smooth drift when the car wanted to understeer abit, this caused the motor to burn up and nearly catch on fire.... lets hope that doesnt happen again.

And im strickly trying to get the opinion of people who have used each wheel, because i know you die hard g25 fans are just waiting to scream that your wheel is the best.

not sure about this but does anyone know if the 911 shifter works wireless or if the cable can just be extended?

im waiting for my replacement wheel but, im working on setting up a cockpit and i want to have the shifter in a more realistic location lower and more to the right (american!).

any ideas?

two days no reply......sigh

wow of all times for their site to be down..... the fanatec site is not working!!! this is an outrage! up until now i was in love with the 911, everything worked great! and now literally 10 days later its busted.

and the craziest part is that, when i plugged the wheel in again today, the base becomes extremely hot to the touch and smells like an electrical meltdown, i honestly believe if i left it plugged in over night, it would kill me.....................

should i expect this from a nearly $400 steering wheel.

I have had my fanatec wheel for no less than two weeks, and already it has broken, the first day it came, a button popped off, and now the FF is broken, doesnt work at all.

And if i leave the wheel plugged in an continue to play LFS, the wheel begins to burn, literally, my entire basement smells like burnt plastic, heres a video of it not working.....

How do you think fanatec should handle this? ive spent $500 with them in the last 2 weeks (bought the Rennsport wheelstand as well which i have not even got to set up yet...

hey guys im trying to download rfactor and it wont work, ive tried 4 different mirrors, and they all have different errors am i doing something wrong?

having a almost 100% wireless wheel works great!!!!!!!!!! i have it hooked to my desk, and literally flip the clamps, and unplug the power cord and in less than 10 seconds, the wheel is away with no mess.

its great only having one cord.

still, money wasnt an issue for me, until after i bought the wheel, i go to school full time and work 50hrs a week so i play on my 911 wheel from like 930pm to about 12am, maybe 2-3 days a week which isnt enough to appreicate, the $480 i just dropped on this setup, i dont really think the g25 can be that much worse.

honestly i havent used the g25, (i have the 911) and all i hear is people rave about the g25, honestly, im not a hardcore gamer and i bought the 911 with the rennsport wheel stand and i regret spending $480 on this system, i wish i went the cheaper route and got the g25, its about $130 cheaper and honestly its probably just as good, it doesnt vibrate and the shifter sucks but you can modifty the shifter now.

anyways i would go G25 if i had to do it over, soley based on price, and the love for which everyone has for it.

plus my 911, is the worst table mounted wheel ever, it moves all over the place (hence the rennsport wheelstand) and the buttons shake so much, with full vibration, the buttons clatter and it sounds like they cost 2 cents to make....


hope this helps.

hey bro where do you get just a seat like that?
