Key threads

• Need for Speed time-trial records and wheel setup 1995-10-19 · 24 posts
  Sean 'Lephturn' Conrad and others organised informal Need for Speed time-trial competitions track by track, posting best times and top speeds at Lost Vegas, Rusty Springs, Autumn Valley and City. Advice centred on using a joystick or wheel rather than keys. A complaint that the game supported only one joystick was answered by others explaining Thrustmaster's free white adapter for using the T1 wheel and pedals together.
• ThrustMaster wheel choice and hand versus foot controls 1996-12-22 · 20 posts
  A parent asked whether the ThrustMaster T2 he bought was a good choice, and replies said it was fine and that wheel lock in the setup handles sensitivity. A debate followed about the GP1's hand-operated paddles versus pedals, with motorcycle comparisons and a side argument about how motorcycles steer.
• Keeping visiting kids away from expensive steering wheels 2003-08-13 · 23 posts
  Bruce Millar asked whether others had their expensive wheels abused by visiting children. Suggestions included buying a cheap Thrustmaster, Act-Labs or Microsoft wheel for guests, simply refusing, or letting them try a real sim so they quickly lose interest. One poster recounted a nephew hanging from his Act-Labs wheel, which later broke.
• Are PlayStation F1 games worth buying? 2002-12-02 · 22 posts
  A newcomer asked about PlayStation F1 games. He was told console F1 titles were not true sims and the PC's F1 2002 or GTR2002 were better, though Nick rated Sony's Formula One 2002 highly. After getting F1 2002 working on PC he called GPL almost undrivable, prompting a spat with Jan Verschueren about 'games' versus simulations.
• Thrustmaster announces new Ferrari F1 wheel 2002-09-04 · 38 posts
  David G Fisher linked Thrustmaster's announcement of a new Ferrari replica wheel due in October. Steve Smith and others criticised the look of the bundled pedals, which led to an abusive exchange between Gerry Aitken and Fisher. Later posts noted Thrustmaster might not import it to the US, and GTX_SlotCar shared a fix for stiff pedal springs on the older Ferrari wheel.
• Xbox price cut rumour and best console racing games 2002-09-06 · 62 posts
  Larry asked which Xbox racing game was best after rumours of a $149 price cut. Suggestions included NASCAR Heat 2002, Sega GT 2002, RalliSport Challenge and Project Gotham, while Steve Smith, researching a Motor Trend story, rated Gran Turismo 3 on PS2 the best console title despite criticism of its AI. The thread drifted into Linux on the Xbox, the DMCA, HDTV and the console wars.
• Do you left-foot brake in sims and real cars? 2001-11-27 · 50 posts
  A poll on left-foot braking found most sim racers do it, partly to stop pedals sliding on the floor, while fewer do it in road cars. The thread turned into a long argument about double-declutching, with REDLINE426 claiming it wears out synchros on road cars and several others rebutting him, explaining that matching revs actually reduces synchro work.
