I feel your pain. If anyone wonders why I have a basic laptop for little more than communication, and racing confined to technology as reliable and simple to use as a Honda; That is why.

Sass, I hate to say but looks like you'll have to get a new wheel. 
Personally, I don't have a stable place to keep a decent computer and wheel (Due to parents splitting) so I never really invested into something more than a Playstation. Believe me though, if I could I would. Congrats to the stupid cowboy hat wearing only racing because of Grandpa's money let down and waste of NASCAR's most iconic number on the win last night. I'll never get over that s t u p i d cowboy hat. Richard Petty is the only person in NASCAR that can pull it off, and he pulls it off with feathers on it!

Kinda ironic SaaS I went postal the other night. I logged onto iracing to get ready for a race I was just racing my ass off the night before. Got into a practice session hit the throttle pedal and could only do 30 mph leaving pits at full throttle. Left the session went into fanatec profiler and not throttle response. Man I was pissed I did everything restarted the computer unplugged the USB for the pedals from the cpu still nothing. Spent 3 hours throwing a fit pissed off because I couldn't race. lol. I was ready to pull my t500 pedals out the box when I unplugged the pedals from the back of the pedals and the cpu finally recognized the throttle pedal. I know there is probly something going wrong with the pedals but I haven't had a problem since.
SaaS I have came across If you have the wheel or pedals plugged into the wrong USB port than what it recognized at first the controllers will not work properly. might want to try and switch the ports and see if it recognizes the controller better just an idea buddy.
wish you the best of luck getting it going.

Definitely tried different ports. Started in the hub on my desk, which is how I've always done it, usually works perfectly. Then switched to straight into the motherboard in the back of my tower.

That was brutal. Kyle Larson all over again, maybe worse. Someone will eventually be killed if they don't raise these walls a few feet. Get rid of the grass too. Pave it and paint it green.

Yeah, was one of those things where I saw that fireball in the fence and was like uh oh, knew it right away someone was in it. Just incredible from Tony's view, to see that car fly up and him go under it was like a video game. Nothing anyone could do there, once Denny got loose Harvick backed out but everyone kept pushing and boom. On another note, I enjoyed the announcers and overall brodcast, upset my man Allan Bestwick (right spelling?) isn't there but Rick Allen I'm so happy got the spot, loved watching Truck races because he's so great.

*DANICA RANT*
I mean come on guys, this experiment should over with right? This "driver" literally wrecks in almost every race. Or gets wrecked, lol. Kinda like Robbie Gordon. I used to call Robbie Gordon "Ol in the way" because he was constantly in the way of the talent trying to come through while he's two laps down. I understand the draw to Danica, I understand the money she brings to the table but this has to end soon. I feel like Gene and Tony will be the laughing stock of the garage if they re-sign her. I mean this girl has won one professional race and that was on fuel mileage. She has an average finish in NASCAR of 25th place, 6 top 10's, zero top 5's. And that is in championship equipment. She doesn't even have a top 10 at the road courses. Take Juan Pablo for example. 2 wins (both road courses), 24 top 5's, 59 top 10's, a top 10 at every track except Kentucky and homestead, average finish 21st. In mediocre equipment. Honestly mediocre. Ganassi is still mediocre in Nascar and probably always will be. Now I don't mean to compare Danica to someone who has won the Indy 500 twice, 24 Hours of Daytona 3 times, won the CART title as a rookie, won 6 F1 races including Monaco, and still holds the F1 record for fastest average lap speed (162.950) mph and the highest top speed (231.5 mph). But they both have a ton of experience with road racing and oval racing and Danica has nothing to show for it. This reaction of hers to getting lightly punted by Dale Jr. is so off the charts ridiculous and out of line. I mean, is Dale Jr the guy going around wrecking people? Ever? I'm sure he's done his share of moving people but for her to think that this was intentional is asinine. I tell you what, every time I see a neon green car spinning on the back stretch I know for a fact it's not Kyle Busch. And you can count on a neon green car spinning at damn near every race. This has nothing to do with her being a female. There are other females in motorsport that would do a lot more than she has with what she's been given.

Alright this video was supposed to be made after Nascar was at Sonoma but my computer didn't want to cooperate. My pc thought my wheel was a keyboard. Ugh. Anyway no capture card yet but here it is.

Okay Saas,
I do not get on here to argue with anyone but I believe you are completely out of line. Yes, Danica is in the sport for possibly the wrong reason but she is there and when she puts the helmet on she is just like anyone else. You are not calling out Mike dibeneto (or whatever his name is). Yes she has the best equipment but I do believe she is running better than Tony this year. If you would have made this complaint before the Dale Jr. incident I would have agreed a little more with you but I am sick and tired of everyone thinking Dale Jr. has done nothing wrong. I put him at fault for racing without brakes and nascar for not parking him. Everyone complains about safety and he was the first one saying how awful that wreck was last week but yet you ride around on the track going 180 plus with no brakes. How stupid do you have to be? Dale Jr is lucky that it wasn't me he ran into he would have been put in the catch fence instead of just a little tap tap.
Everyone needs to quit bashing Danica atleast she didn't plow into a jet dryer.

And that's why you're banned from iracing. Lol. And the go kart track. And the other track. In no way am I saying Dale didn't do anything wrong. He wrecked her straight up. The point is Danica assumed and always assumes that someone wrecked her on purpose. Landon, Josh wise, Matt dibennidito (whatevs) do not have the level of experience that Danica has. Not even close. Tony Stewart is garbage and needs to retire. He's in the way and has a sever anger problem. Anyone in this sport with an anger problem makes me sick to my stomach. Tony, Danica, and Newman can all go do something else for all I care. Don't even get me started on that piece of **** Ryan Newman. I'm all for emotion but their anger is so selfish and disappointing. Harvick used to be like that too, he seems to have chilled out. Dale Jr probably should have been parked and if it was F1 he would be. Even the slightest damage in F1 gets you parked. Nascar just let's guys run around with no front end, no brakes, broken shifters, etc. I just think you don't like Dale. Which is fine. Danica has proven she talentless over and over again. Btw, I love it when she runs well. I find myself proud of her for finally having a good run. But with your simracing/real racing experience you would have at least the same results. Except Nascar would have banned you because of your anger problems. You don't ever try and put the crown prince in the catch fence bud. Ever.

That's why he should be he has not won a championship and should not be held on a pedestal as his father was. you must have lost that train of thought and jumped on a band wagon with everyone else when senior passed. but hey follow the crowd that's your choice.

I'm looking for talent. Real, next level, talent. Kevin Harvick won in his third attempt in the 29 car in Atlanta. I used to hate Joey Lagano. That retarded smile. That kid had more talent in his pinky finger. Busch brother. Don't like either one. One of them has a serious anger problem that is not gone I guarantee it, and the other one looks like he has down syndrome. But those two kick some serious ass. I mean crazy fast and dominant. Did you ever see Terry Labonte throw his helmet and Dale Sr.? Many people had many reason to want to choke that dude out. But see, they have class and respect. Dale Sr. did a lot of things that as a fan, I was not proud of. But there was something about him that they didn't have. Balls. All the people listed above, huge balls. Whenever I see a replay of Tony standing on pitlane throwing his helmet at Matt Kenseth, all I see a Fred Flintstone baby wearing a diaper throwing a tantrum. Danica is out performing Tony because he is not very good anymore. Maybe the fact that he killed a guy isn't helping matters. Dale Jr. doesn't have a championship and he really doesn't have that many wins for how long he's been around. But I think he's a class act.
I watched every single race of Dale Jr's. career including back to back Busch championships in the 2 car 1998 and 99. Every single one. I was a Dale Jr. fan way way way before it was cool. I was also a Steve Park fan. Who had a ton of talent and could have been great. Saying you are a Danica fan is like saying you are a Mikey fan. We all on some level think Mikey is funny and silly but would ya sign him up to win races for ya. I don't think so. Danica is just a warm body with a ton of financial backing. This philosophy will ruin racing someday ans is already affecting Formula 1. Money over talent. We won't see any more Kyle Larson's or Eric Jones's. We'll see a bunch of rich kids wrecking each other every week. Go look at Danica's Wikipedia page and you tell me how much talent she has. Ohh wait here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danica_Patrick
Go ahead and scroll down to Motorsports Career Results and look and the win column. That's from 1998 to 2014. That's a professional race car driver.

I'm not saying I'm a Danica fan by all means but I'm saying if the roll was reversed you guys would be pissing and moaning because jr got wrecked. you know for a fact he had brake problems why did he stay out on the track. we all talk about safety safety and yet the poster boy of the sport does not care about anyone else out there but himself. it's good you have been a jr fan for a long time. you just can't be pissed at Danica for being pissed. no one cared when it was Kenseth or keslowski going at it or Edwards and keslowski, but when jr is involved the whole world stops.
you don't want this to become like f1 with money forcing the issue. too late man its already here. how do you think Logano got where he is. his parents have money.

Harvick locked himself into a crap car, that's why it took him so long to win the championship. He wasn't happy there, for whatever reason, and the cars just weren't that good. My feelings for Danica, she wrecks or is involved in a wreck some how every single week. I'm not saying that as an ignorant NASCAR fan, just saying what I see. She is literally only there for sponsorship money. She and Stewart need to hang it up, because when your other teamates have 4 wins, lead the most laps consistantly, and one has 10(11?) top 10 finishes and you have yet to put up more than 1 (if 1) something's wrong. I tried to like Danica, but she just sucks. Her spot should be given to a more deserving driver, with more talent. I understand every driver has some sense of talent because they are there in the first place, but sometimes talent runs out and you simply suck ass. Put Erik Jones in Danica's car for a race and see what happens.

Dude I'm so excited and crazy nervous. I just don't want anything to be wrong with it out of the box. And I've got to figure out how and where I'll set it up. Hopefully it'll just go right where the old one was. I decided to go 300 because I'm fine with pedals and I know the points of accuracy for the wheel are the same as the 500. I know the pedals are chinsy. I found a cheap resistance mod that I could try on the brake pedal. Either way, can't wait.

I know on iracing points of accuracy from the g27 to the t500 increased by 15,000 or so points. which was amazing. once you figure out the secret saas help me out with my t500. lol. if I can get on tonight I will try to set my rig up to use for gt instead of a ds3 controller. so I can keep up a little better.

Ok, got the new wheel. Took half the evening to get it mounted to my table. The clamp wasn't gonna work and no template for mounting. So had to pull out the tool box and drill. Made my own template and a quick run to Home Depot. I finally got the base mounted and bolted down. Put the wheel on and fired up GT6. Everything worked perfectly with a few button mapping changes. Everything feels so different, so smooth. The brake is crazy stiff. Gonna take a few to get used to for sure but I'm sure I'll be using it for this weekends races.
