PC Racing Wheel Advice

[PC Racing Wheel Advice]

What Greg said is why I didn't mention rFactor 2. It's an awesome driving simulator but not a good racing simulator at this point due to lack of content. If he's not sure he wants to get into hardcore sims he's much better off with rFactor.

[PC Racing Wheel Advice]

GT Legends and GTR2 are both based on the rFactor game engine so I'd recommend getting it as well. rFactor doesn't really come with a whole lot of content but there are tons and tons of free mods that can be downloaded for it.

As long as you get at least $33 of enjoyment out of it that's all that matters.

[XM - any chance it will be in our hands by Christmas?]

Looks like someone asked on the Syzygy facebook page and got this response:

 

 

 

Nothing substantial yet, will hopefully have some major to report in March

If they want everything to be the same for everyone they should just delist everything until they start selling on the Xbox 360 again.

Oh and this is a mind boggling decision for non-iOS platforms. I'm not sure why they would pull out perfectly good working code on other systems because they can't sell season passes on Apple devices. It's like they don't really want our money or they think none of us will really be angry enough not to give in and buy all the tables individually when they're released.

[New Pinball Arcade from makers of Williams Collection]

Apple is trying to protect people from unscrupulous "app" sellers who take your money and run because when that happens Apple ends up holding the bag.

This one might not make it either. At least he released a demo..............................................................................................................................

Darn, they cancelled it. I was gonna go back them for $10,000.

[XM - any chance it will be in our hands by Christmas?]

Hopefully we have this in time for Xmas 2014.

I'd forgotten Logitech is dumping their wheels. The reason to not get one of those would be future driver support. I had a Logitech Wingman Formula Force that lasted until I upgraded to Windows 7.

[Microsoft Offering $100 towards Xbox One for PS3 Trade-In]

Steam is only worth it because I'm cheap and eventually I can get most things at 75% to 90% off the original price.

[Microsoft Offering $100 towards Xbox One for PS3 Trade-In]

Uhhhh, it would STILL cost as much as a PS4.

[PC Racing Wheel Advice]

The only option I'd skip for sure would be #2. 180 degrees of rotation is terrible and "vibration feedback" is a complete waste of time. The build quality of the Logitech wheels will also be much better. I'm guessing 900 degrees of rotation will be more than you'll want but you will be able to set your wheel to a custom option which is less than the full 900 degrees.

 

If the G27 price makes you cringe then get the Driving Force Pro. Also, h pattern shifters are fun but most real racing cars don't have them anymore and some games do not support them. Also if you play a nascar game you'll spend most of your time in one gear anyway. I have wheel that has a clutch but don't use the clutch because it makes the games more realistic than I want.

 

Oh and on a final note, game developers will be more likely to properly support the Logitech wheels than they will the Hori wheel.

[Is owning a ps3 worth it?]

If you hadn't already bought one by now you're better off making some kid happy.

[New Harmony product: Harmony Encore]

Will this cart run Knight Rider?

I guess this thread needs a rename to Concerto cart.

[Steam, how much is your account worth?]

It claims I haven't played 16 but that's because some of the games also came with the Mac steam version. I also have a couple of games that I got somewhere else that came with Steam keys so I've played them, just not on Steam. I do still have 7 games I haven't played though.

 

 

 

• Worth: $519.6

• Games owned: 40 33

• Games not played: 16 7
• Percentage: 40% 21%
• Hours spent: 179.9h

   

   

[Kinect - anyone actually utilizing it?]

I agree the voice commands are totally cool. They work great at going through them menus in the Forza games. They're also good for trolling on Xbox Live.

 

[Another patent troll vanquished.]

These guys didn't just buy up patents. They actually created a product no one really wanted that is kinda similar to a Wii-Fit pad but not really.

[Atari 7800 real stereo surround mod]

I don't see what's so great about splitting a mono signal over two outputs.

[New Pinball Arcade from makers of Williams Collection]

Microsoft didn't start sending out dev kits to indie developers until December. Most likely Farsight is way down the list. I'd be surprised if they weren't going to develop for the Xbone since they seem to want to develop for every platform they possibly can.

[Games are a Haven for TERRORISTS!]

I keep waiting for the news that Edward Snowden leaked documents that show how the NSA paid Microsoft to force the Xbox One to be always online and always Kinect'd but Microsoft finally balked when they found out how much money that was going to cost them in sales instead.

[Cuttle Cart 2 Discussion Thread]

Here's why the CC2 uses MMC.

 

 

The CC2 was designed for MMC cards, which at the time of the design was the smallest form factor card available and was plentiful. At the time they actually got built MMCs were on the decline in favor of SD cards (same footprint, slightly thicker), but the SD card association would not release how to communicate with the cards unless you paid $$$ to them for the specs (the information has since been made available). So MMC it was.

 

[Fighter pilots needed in sector wars...]

My console and tv don't seem to like darker vertical shots on a black background. If I were you I'd still leave it how it is because I paid someone to install the 8bitdomain kit and they had to redo it. Personally I think there are too many variables in the equation to actually change it to something not arcade accurate just for me.

 

With Frenzy at first I thought it was just the console needing to warm up but then later I was getting the same issue but didn't say anything because it wasn't that important.
