    Wow just wow !!! I mixed @Nick Moxley and @stevemontuno settings for Dirt and it's feeling good. The torque when breaking and trying to turn is amazing also the different road surfaces you feel through the wheel the jumps the little cobble stones F×$k me sidewards it's soooooo good. I'm excited just talking about it.

    All that time setting it up was worth it, anyone else thinking about it you need to go and get one now because I have never felt anything as good period.

    There were points on the stage in germany I just left the ground and then landed and the wheel went light hit the ground got a bit of spin and torque steer it was exactly like driving my old Scooby !!! Nearly brought a tear to my eye lol

    CHEERS EVERYONE !!!!

    :cheers:cheers:cheers

    Great! Now go and play AC and then tell me.

    P. S. Nonono don't tell me! I can't buy an OSW right now

    Yes they are that good aren't they. For now i have disconnected traction loss so i don't run over any cables while my rig is a mess and wires everywhere. I ran my S7 edge over at christmas and smashed the screen, so didn't want to take the risk of ruining anything else.
    Since i have put this wheel in, i generally don't miss the traction loss as i'm so engrossed what the wheel is doing.

    yep a few nice words lol.

    I love assetto at the minute. you can really feel the understeer and different sufaces. I will get dirt set up when my new rig is finished. I will make keyboard and mouse trays, as its a pain without but asseto is easy

    Few sticks and a few bolts is all you really need. My KB mount is a little more unique in how it holds the KB itself, so unless you got a K800 then I wont bother showing the mount as it wont work on anything but a k800.

    Thanks for the shoutout,

    PS the F138 wheel should be Very much power assisted and Not take a shi* tonne of force to turn while rolling. While sitting in the pits, Yes it should feel like a million lbs, thats to make the other Non Power steering cars feel proper in general. There's quite a few guys out there with Granity/MMO's setting's that are Far from ideal and feel rather shi* to be honest.

    Yeah it feels great when you are driving loosens right up but the detail in the road you can feel is amazing, dont know if it was my imagination when you lock up you get flat spots you can feel it start vibrating ?

    Cant wait to get back on and try out noords :D and actually start getting some real time driving rather than tinkering all the time.

    @SilentChill I asked you not to tell me about how it feels in AC, and you even put a video. That's not fair! :D
    Now a non-F1 car @ Nordschleife please

    Ive also had a few of the "just the tips of the finger" and lucky the finger joint flexes first....you really do need to learn to drive in the "thumbs up" :thumbs:thumbsposition.

    Beware when you Click OFF screen to access the Profile editor or something of that nature, when you click Back On the game, the wheel will tend to jerk to the right a few degrees regardless of where its positioned. Beware. ;)
