OK, so my last wheel (Thrustmaster 360 Modena... yeah, I know) died a few months back and I've been meaning to get a replacement for a while, but never got around to it. Now Overclockers (w w w .overclockers.co.uk) has the Thrustmaster Rallye GT for £70.49 as a one-week special, and the Logitech G25 available for £176.24 (for the US readers, that exchanges...

I want to put together a system to run rFactor and other racing sims, but don't want the latest most expensive hardware. I want to main system to cost >$1000, but want it to be able to drive a TripleHead2Go display. Please suggest CPU/Mobo/GPU combo that will be suitable. I plan to mail order and assemble it myself. Also, any tips on setting up the...

Just some FYI for anyone who is considering an 8800 purchase. I picked up an 8800GTS on an eVGA trade-up for my 7900GTO, since the trade-up window was going to close soon. First off, you can crank some unbelievable levels of AA and AF at high res on this thing. The Anandtech article was not understating what a big jump forward this is (on par with the...

Anybody know if this combo works? The Logitec website says XP and Vista are required. :(

I just purchased a new video board and received a copy of TRD3 (European version ?) with it. I've been playing it using my CH Virtual Pilot Pro yoke and foot pedals (a MS Flight Simulator fan). My question to the group is: how does this TRD3 compare to other driving and racing games available for the PC? I am relatively impressed with this game and I wonder...

Hi all... Been away for a while... A few ?'s: GTR was am addon to F1C, as I remember it...

I have a Thomas Super Wheel that I no longer use and would consider selling if there's any interest (<sigh> marriage and kids will do that to a gaming habit). It's the older, more robust of the two models (I don't remember the names) and is the basic steering wheel with lever shift and two pedals and an integration switch to flip between single axis and...

Anyone else having a problem with this? It seems like the more mods I install the longer it takes to load. Whats the fix?

I have just bought V8 Supercars 3 and have found it much easier to drive with the keyboard than the Wheel. I have never had this happen before, it is usually always the other way around. I have adjusted the steering settings, ie dead zone etc, but it has made little difference. The car tends to behave like a shopping kart when using the wheel, but it...

Where are the best setups for GTR2? Have other people found that the MOTEC data system slows down the game's performance markedly?? -- RocketMan

Do most people think GTR2 is an improvement on GTR? Major or minor improvement? Has anything been left out of GTR2 that was in GTR? I'm just interested in other people's opinions. -- RocketMan

I'm interested in what other people think is the hardest track to receive Gold in GTR2. What have people found is the easiest? I found Estoril the hardest to 'qualify', while Hockenheim and Spa were the easiest. The easiest 'new' track to learn for me was Zhuhai. -- RocketMan
