Quote from blobface007 :

Sorry, I can't believe I forgot to add that to the info. Under options, in game, make sure your FPS is capped at 52 to remove the stuttering in the motion blur.

yep much better now ... ;-)

Quote from blobface007 :

Under the enbseries.ini file you can scroll down until you see the [BLOOM] header, and edit the options to your will. They should be easy to work out, as they update live (If you alt-tab between lfs and notepad you can see the difference as you edit).
Or, Shift + F11 disables it alltogether, as does changing EnableBloom=1 to 0, in said enbseries.ini.

Thx again! your mod is great!

Clamping systems are bad on any wheels that I know ... Hard mounting them is much better ... You can hard mount the T500 wheel ...

The 10 guys would shit in their pants and the 2 meters tiger would play with them like real toys ...

if money is not a problem then yes this wheel seems to be in another category ...

Isn't it a Frex wheel ?

Just order Leo Bodnard G25-27 shifter adapter and use it as a standalone peripheral ...

yep ... That's a true fact ... more owners, more reported issues ...

I also had a G25 before I sold it to buy my Fanatec ... never had any issues with it ... Good bang for the buck for me ...

... just to get back on the topic ...

Just choose any wheel depending on your budget ... All of them could have issues ... A reliable wheel for someone could be the total opposite for someone else using the same model ... just look at each model spec and pick up the one that is best for you ...

Quote from Bose321 :

Tried to contact Thomas? That's obviously something wrong with your wheel.

I am done with that ... always a nightmare to get support from fanatec ... And yes obvioulsy something is wrong with the wheel that has already been replaced with a new PCB and complete base ...

Quote from Bose321 :

Where does it say that? The drivers I got from the homepage do not say that? What update software? All you do is uninstall old drivers and install new ones. The support forum is not the place to get the latest drivers. It even says on you can get them from his blog which is categorized under drivers.

Drivers and firmwares and 2 completely different things ... Fanatec firmwares are ALL Beta releases and the tool to update it is real crap and will work best with XP ... We are in 2012!! XP is totally obsolete ... You did not obviously update your wheel firmware from what I read ...

Quote from Bose321 :

Some quick use of Google gives me a nice list of links. I have tried to change the rim myself which was easy. Take the center cap off, loosen the bolts, take wheel off, put new wheel one; done. Obviously all your buttons will not work anymore but that's obvious.

Really ? please provide the links ...

You would obvioulsly loose the buttons but also the FFB if the steering wheel PCB is not connected to the base anymore ... And also, could you share a picture of your modded fanatec wheel with aftermarket wheel ... I am really curious ... ... Also would like to see on which wheel you simply plug and play your fanatec base ... The wheel holes pattern is not use on any aftermarket wheels ... + you would need a custom adapter to make it strongly attached to the base ... Original wheels are inserted on the shaft prior to install the 3 bolts ... If you easily did it then I am sure other Fanatec owners would love to see how including myself ...

Quote from Bose321 :

There are no centering problems here. Out of interest, from which batch is your wheel (when did you buy it?)? The were a small amount of wheels that had some problems.

I can assure you I had the centering issues with my GT3 V2 and still with my new GT2 base ... I bought the wheel on mid 2010 and the firmware is the lattest 681 release ...

Quote from Bose321 :

Kinda odd your next choice is for a wheel where you know it has problems...

Just provide me a wheel model without any known issues ? It does not exist ... and maybe other Fanatec owners will never have the issues I am facing with the same wheel ... There are just a very big amount of complains about Fanatec reliability, just search the different forums ...

Quote from Bose321 :

The drivers which are downloadable from the main site are no beta versions. Simply because you download and install the beta versions does not mean all drivers are like that. And the main point is: are there problems with the drivers? They're easy to install, easy to use and work without problems.

Your right, drivers are not Beta but most importantly firmwares are ALL beta + the update software is real crap and unstable. Also their support forum is a real mess, nothing is organized and can be a real pain to just find the lattest files available with the super mention 'install it at your own risk'! ...

Quote from Bose321 :

About modding your wheel; I don't know if you actually own a Fanatec wheel, but they're known for their modifiability. They have a system like real cars have which basicly gives you the option to simply click on other wheels.

I would not have commented on Fanatec wheels if I did not own one ... Again ... just point me to a link where someone actually easily replaced the original 911/Carrera/GT3/GT2 wheel for an aftermarket model ... All the wheel electronics must still be connected to the base to get the FFB if replacing the steering wheel ... And this is still the case with the CSR Elite ... Besides the new upcoming CSW that will come with quick release, nothing that I know is available to mod older models ... Unless you can backup what you are stating with actual threads about modding these wheel, who cares about real car parts ...



Thx!

Hi,

... same centering issues with LFS occurs with Fanatec GT3 wheels ... and concerning reliability, Fanatec wheels are really not superior as any other brand ... I had mine for 2 years now and had to replace the main wheel PCB after 1 year and full case after 2 year because the main belt broke ... I have now a 'hybrid' GT2 base with GT3 wheel ... I was following the CSP wheel developement threads for a while but I think I will go with the Thrustmaster T500 which also as some known issues with fan and other little bugs ... All the available wheels have some known issues and as someone else already mentionned, most of the posts you will find on the different wheels are concerning issues ... Fanatec wheels are great but IMO the hardware quality does not match with the software side ... You will never get final drivers or firmwares from them but always beta with 'install at your own risk' mentions ... I don't like that ... Also other brands like Logitech or Thrustmaster are much more 'modable', you can easily replace the wheel with after market wheels ...


Thx!

Thx for sharing!

It looks good while racing but is there a way to disable it in game menus ? Some of them are barely visible with this mod ...

Also I had a couple a graphic glitches while racing ... like some short sluttering from time to times ... running a GTX570 card ...

Also is there a way to reduce the bloom a bit ? On 3D it's a little bit too much for me ...

Anyway I like the photorealistic feeling of it!


Thx again!

Quote from jbirdaspec :

As of right now. They must all be the same. There has been talk of it becoming compatible with different sized monitors though. Who knows if that will come to pass though. ATI isn't know for coming through all the time.

It has nothing to do with the monitor size but with the maximum resolution it can support. Currently I am using two 19" sides and one 21.6" center for a 3840x1024 resolution. My center display is a little bit stretch because I have to set it to 1280x1024 to be able to enable eyefinity. It will work as long as the 3 monitors support the same resolution. But you can't tweak the setup very much like softh for exemple and for now It's better to use 3 identicals monitors ... but it will definitely work if the 3 monitors support the same resolution and one of them must be connected using the displayport.
