Any Sim Racers Out There?
Hey guys, just wondering whether there are any SimRacers out in AstinaGT land?
Also whether anyone is rocking a Logitech G25/G27? Reason I ask is that I just bout a brake spring upgrade (Australian made spring by GTEye), and didn't know if anyone would be interested in a review. Also what games are people playing? As in all games I'm strictly PC only, but we may be able to tee up some online racing for members?

I play predominately PC sim racers, the GTR series, DiRT 2/3, NFS (I have every edition made ) and a few others. I only play GT5 on PS3.
All of these are played with a Logitech Driving Force GT

I usually only play racing games on the xbox as my pc wouldnt hav the guts to run anything.
I have a g25 thats hooked up via an external port, so it basically mimics a controler, just without force feed.

Also if anyone has been considering a new wheel or a wheel upgrade, LogitechShop are selling the G27 cheaper than I've ever seen it ($100 cheaper than 6 months ago when I upgraded). http://www.logitechshop.com.au/logit...-pc-ps3-2.html

You would have to be pretty keen to want to buy a Logitech G27. They seem to have a very high failure rate. Just so you know every one I have sold I have had returned. And after many months screaming at Logitech and their suppliers I eventually got a refund of less than what the customer paid for it. They have an issue where they just jump from side to side when they are unused as well. |

That's interesting. I've never known anyone to have a problem with them. Do you know which component has the issues? Wheel? Pedals? Or shifter?

For example the new Logitech Z906 speakers are not better than the old Z5500s. |

You can buy it online http://www.raceroom.net/shop/item/22/gt-legends/
You could also try one of their later titles Race07, STCC 1 or 2. You can get a bundle pretty cheaply on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2277/ Race07 requirements are still pretty low (see Steam page).
