New Thrustmaster F1 Wheel?

[GORDATA2NICE]

I received mine from Amazon.de yesterday! Great Wheel but I havent been able to put it to work yet. Maybe tonight.

Yours arrived quicker than mine but I guess that's the difference between shipping to east coast and Wisconsin. It seems a few North American's are tired of waiting and ordered off Amazon.de.

If you don't mind waiting for ten days or so, it's still cheaper (by $20) to order it from Amazon.de.

Very cool. Apple users search iRacing in App Store. they got two similar apps for Apple.

iPad and that app would make one large easily read display.

 

[GORDATA2NICE]

That's my setup. :0)

. A VID to show this app in action would be nice.

My DRS button broke yesterday. It's still working but the spring seems to be broke, it's activating itself and also when the wheel's vibrating. TM said they'll send a new one tomorrow....man...it's been 5 weeks and that's the second replacement part. One for the T500 itself and now the F1 wheel. Great stuff TM....

 

[Mr. S]

Well, now the button seems to have failed completely. I'm hoping that it's working aside from that, playing F1 with the GT rim sucks.

Update: some more buttons broke and the shifter paddle died, too. Yet, I replied to the e-mail I got regarding the first button and they added more buttons and a paddle shifter to my shipment, without even asking. That's great after all.

Found on youtube this impressive MOD of "Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On" :

At 2m10 the guy shows all added encoders in action:

 

[Mr. S]

I'm thinking about using some sort of LED / display, too. Yet, could I just program the SLI-PRO to show the time or something? Not the lap time, just the normal CET time. I'd like to keep the LEDs on all the time, too. Probably at around 20-25% max.

PS3 games don't support it, so for the time being...

[fedexpress]

man i want that f1 modded rim but it's gonna cost heaps

 

[FCTaff]

Wow...... now that looks the dogs dangles !

 

[Jadran]

Congrats 👍

 

[sandboxgod]

Man I'd love one of those modded rims but I am sure the prices will be off da hizzy

 

[Mr. S]

Man...that's exactly what I wanted to do with my wheel, exactly. Perfect work.

 

[amf7]

This... Is what it should have looked like originally IMO!

Hope fanatec do it properly if/when they make a f1 rim for the CSW

 

[Mr. S]

Well, let's wait for the pricing. I'm afraid they might charge an awful lot for that...

 

[blown540ci]

I wouldn't go for the quick release or the clutch so hopefully it would be alot cheaper for the rotary's and shift lights ?

Looks very good , Thanks for posting Wildrun:tup:

 

[sandboxgod]

Anyone has any idea why Thrustmaster wouldn't release a more advanced rim like this to stores??? Is it really that hard for them to fathom we'd love to have an rpm meter, etc just like the real f1 rim?

Seems to me they could've made a super advanced version that sells for $100 more....

What version of the wheel/pedals has everyone seen with the complete T500 F1 kit? I know we're up to v5 on the T500, just curious if the F1 is shipping with latest also.
