well, the throttle pedal mod is still okay, Iâll email the manufacturer and see if theyâre willing to help me with the other, though obviously my confidence in their product is⌠compromised. It does add a satisfying little bit of resistance to the accelerator that itâs otherwise missing
OTOH my shifter arrived and wow, having an H-shifter really is a game changer, I donât know how but I feel much more in tune with how the car is behaving than I did trying to do manual with flappy paddles
it is testing the limits of my wheel stand, as itâs only got two upright metal shafts and so the horizontal stability isnât perfect, but itâs good enough to do shifts reasonably quickly and precisely. sequential mode is much more stiff and so might be a little difficult to use with this setup, but I suspect I rarely will
also I uh discovered that Playground Games quietly updated the âfixed issuesâ doc for Horizon 5 with the note that the crashing bug was fixed in a Fanatec driver update, not in the game, and apparently the Fanatec updater is uh, not working? so you have to go to their website and find the driver updater to get the one that doesnât crash the game periodically, crossing my fingers this means I can finally play this game more than one race at a time!
UPDATE: I put a good few hours into FH5 with the driver updated to the latest and it didnât crash once, hallelujah
tbh ignore this âend of the worldâ label on this, this isnât the builderâs intent
imagine seeing that
in your rear-view mirror (shortly), before watching its back:

Re: Madness âŚ
In the age of e-mobility, a relaxed and soothing chillhop beats hypermiling playlist is the way to eeke out that few more miles that can take you to the next charger safely, and why woul-
⌠Eurobeat?
Set to 24h NĂźrburgring footage?
No, Thank YOU, Sir!
And to top it off, the transition of track 1 to 2, as well from 2 to 3 is set as such to take place during a Code 80 segment? (Stealth edit: from 3 to 4 as well ⌠superstealth-edit: didnât happen for a few later ones, not enough drivers mistakes, eehhh 
)
gonna hand in my Eurobeat Anime MV badge and clear my desk, rarely have i seen marketing $$$ being funneled by the fun-killing fortress of bean counters in such a bold fashion.
Hell, itâs even part deux!
this is what I wanted out of the FIA hypercar category: race teams taking a race car and slapping an VIN and plates on it to call it a âroadâ car.
Hmm. Never got around to playing, but the previous game(s?) in this series seemed like an intriguing mix of weird budget shelf walmart game / very impressive seamless environment / whiff of 90s sega arcade goofiness (made up physics, exagerated + canned sand bog-down animations, big waypoint timers, etc.) / less draining mountain-dew vibe energy than your typical contemporary non-sim drive-em-up.
Like if you squint just right, could almost imagine this as an ambitious but failed Lindbergh-era $5/play experiment or something.
Iâd like to give the new one a try.
i had the ps2 version which had a game breaking bug that sent me into last place so maybe this ones fixed that
heads up if you have 500k +taxes lying around and always wanted to shop a LMP2 car+complete package to have a go at world class level:
hereâs your chance to do so.
Just remember to wrap it in SB colors to help with Felixâes bills!
trailer shall speak for itself
why iâm plugging this game here.
Loving the honesty of its message!
iâm incredibly good at parallel parking i will not endure this gameâs slander
Seemingly not actually announced yet, but Logitechâs got a page up for their new direct-drive wheel. Arguably the first completely new design from them in like over 15 years. Interesting.
Pictures show it bundled with a table clamp which I guess would suggest itâll be in the same ~5+nm power range as the CSL-DD.
Fuck. Iâm starting to hate Logitech, but they can probably actually meet demand with this. So Iâm interested.
hmmmâŚmulti-platform force feedback wheelâŚcrikey. might have to jump on this one. it will probably be expensive, right?
$1k ballpark
looks like the page now says 11nm? the video also references an active cooling fan, so this is definitely not quite going to be a CSL DD competitor on price or performance
