Forza 4 i guess as i got sent those in the turn 10/ microsoft review set

 

[LamboLP700-4]

Sweet! Thanks guys!!

Does no one use the flappy paddles for gears?

I do, also modded the clutch on the CSPs, made it digital, with switches behind each paddle.

EDIT 10-8-11: Short Update today, but one I feel is very very important. User amf7 has been a frequent poster on this site, and this form. He has a very good website full of wheel reviews, and I feel that it could be very useful for this thread. http://wheelreviews.yolasite.com/

Thank you for adding me to the OP crispy chicken

Done (compatible to the G27 shifter)

Great! That's acutally perfect for me 👍

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

The DFGT shifter was bad, so were the paddle shifter (buttons) imo. The reason I might grab a shifter set (not CSR just reg) is because I always seem to lose count on a seq. shifter lol. Making a turn and going in reverse, OR accel. and realizing I am in 4th instead of 2nd.

Those would be my reasons as least
...

Thanks Vaxxtx, good point, that is something I overlooked in the comparison/preference of the shifters vs the paddles.

The other issue would be mounting of a shifter... I use a Wheel Stand Pro.

Another quick question. Is the Fanatec webshop reliable enough to place a pre-order for the GT2?

Well it's better than ordering from dodgy Dave down the pub.

What sort of question is that lol.

Unless I've missed something I'm joking of course.

Their fine BTW.

 

[LamboLP700-4]

Haha, sorry but I tend to make sure before ordering at places I never used before. Thanks, though!

 

[amf7]

Why do you need to preorder???
Anyway guys: heres all of the origanal videos avaliable in 720P if you click

 

[Clark]

Can anybody give me a hand. I'm trying to update from 669 firmware to 681 on my PWTS but get nowhere. This is what happens.

 

[LamboLP700-4]

Why do you need to preorder???

Cause the webshop's sold out of the GT2's and will ship pre-orders early November

 

[redmalloc]

Do the new wheels have the same built-in table mount? I can't imagine using that mounting system with the CSW.

 

[MRMR37]

I'd love to know if, and how easy ,the CSR Elite pedals can be removed from the base, and is the pedal wiring long enough to space the pedals slightly wider apart than on the pedals original base.
Thank you very much for answers to this 👍

 

[amf7]

THe CSR has that table clamp... the CSW might have the CSW table clamp
though although you can buy it if not.

about the pedals, I am not sure about how easy it is but it looks straight forward enough

 

[amf7]

BTW.. part 9 is still uploading

 

[UkHardcore23]

Looking at part 5 is the DFGT wheel bigger than the CSR? When i had the GT wheel i thought it was tiny!!!

Pretty much the same...

 

[Ya Pops]

Damn. In an earlier pic in this thread, the CSR looked a fair bit bigger next to a g25 (or g27)..
Still a very cool wheel, but I'm a little dissapointed.

 

[WildRun]

Can you take a picture near your GT2 wheel (to compare rim size)?

 

[amf7]

Final unboxing part..9
I will try to dig the GT2 out of the loft sometime... Not promising anything as It is stored in a dark corner LOL..
Can anyone think of more videos:
so far:
CSR shifters
and some general gameplay on FM4 or GT5

Hahahaha...
That looks like some home made porno video... not that I have ever seen one

Very cool gear... its exactly what I have in mind if I get a Xbox

 

[LamboLP700-4]

amf7, how do you like the CSR? Does it feel like $250? Any rattle/cheap feeling to it?
How is it compared to the GT2?

It certainly dosen't feel cheap.. The plastic in my opinion looks good on the rim and is not were you grip the wheel.
I turned my DFGT (turned off) and it makes a loudish noise..
The Fanatec dosen't.. Its great worth the $250 for you..

 

[LamboLP700-4]

Should I skip the GT2 and go for the CSR?

I prefer CSR as the paddles are so much better.. and it looks cooler LOL..
