Hi all, I just purchased a Thrustmaster T1 and I would like to ask a few questions... 1) What size piece of wood do I need to keep the pedals from going to far down, This is a problems a read about in this news group a while ago. 2) Why do my nascar setups seem so much more loose then with my ch Products Flight Yoke... 3) Should I worry that when calibrating the wheel and pedals that the arrow doesn't match perfectly...in Nascar 1.1 Thanks, Andrew :wq
I used "3/4" stock, which is more like 1/2" in actual dimension, and it was not enough for my unit. When I got my replacement springs from Thrustmaster, I found that they have a significantly different feel. They work just as well, but they feel like they have more resiliance, so they might not be as susceptible to the problems. I'm assuming that new units shipped recently have the newer springs. Idunno, but I found that I couldn't control ANYTHING with IndyCar with non-linear steering on the wheel, but linear steering makes it quite a bit easier. I think I was over-reacting, which put me into the very non-linear part of the wheel... bottom line: try linear sterring. Nope. Mine actually flits back and forth, but I have enough control that I can race effectively. I suspect it's partly due to thermal issues, and I'm about to go move my sound board from where it's located (DIRECTLY over the cpu) to a less heat-prone area of the system. I'll let you know how that works out. -- Brian Wong Product Marketing Engineering 415-336-0082 Palo Alto, CA 94303
