:irked:

perhaps in a pm though..... eh Ashley.

Oh, and you can see the rear end of my pride and joy in my avatar.
 
nah it was just the rig, not the car.

One question i always meaning to ask though, what does vexd mean?
 
well spelt correctly its vexed.

Look it up man.

You'll have some idea of why im such a :grumpy: arse all the time then.

2. To cause perplexity in; puzzle.
3. To bring distress or suffering to; plague or afflict.
4. To debate or discuss (a question, for example) at length.
5. To toss about or shake up.

:lol:
 
I would say in here but i'd have to get Cass's permission first. I dont know if she's comfortable with people talking about her sex life on the internet, but then again, she did tell you didnt she.
 
me and ash (GTFAN) having a convo on msn messenger:

"Heeey, don’t let it go to waste, I love it but I hate that taste. Weight keeping me down..." says:
the fat one?!??!!!?11q1onw

Ashley says:
yes, they are sexy.

"Heeey, don’t let it go to waste, I love it but I hate that taste. Weight keeping me down..." says:
dude wtf?!?!!?11bdsvas *accidentally opens start menu*
 
"Heeey, don’t let it go to waste, I love it but I hate that taste. Weight keeping me down..." says:
im watching loose women

"Heeey, don’t let it go to waste, I love it but I hate that taste. Weight keeping me down..." says:
I sooo wanna do the really hairy old woman on the right, shes soo amazingly hairy and old.



wait... wtf?!?11one
 
tsk tsk children,welcome to vtec's world, and his thread.

Such a great use of GTP's resources.

I trust my better half will be in here soon, to straighten you all out.

:grumpy:
 
I just added 5 new pics of the wheel when it's detached, ala F1! Ive been meaning to get some pics of this for a while so here they are. I got all the pics I need there now so next time there's an update it'll be when I add more to the cockpit or upgrade parts. Please excuse the mess in my room lol, a friend stayed over the other night.
 
Ive just made a huge update! My cockpit is now painted and has the BARC scrutineering decals (battery cut off, extinguisher etc.) and a number 88 decal. I also added a car mat to the pedla box to give it a more car like feel to it. Be sure to read all the stuff in the thread since I re-wrote it all! Let me know what you think guys.
 
Your cockpit is looking good vtec_guy - is your wheel a force feedback version? If so do you find your table stable enough for it?

I've had a DFP since GT4 came out but (i know its such a waste) i've hardly used it due to the fact that everything i've clamped it to has been rocked around too much for it to be used as it should.
 
yea, my table is perfectly stable for it, the table has a bottom panel that my legs go over so it stays nice and still anyway. But ive never had any table moving problems with my wheel as of yet. Oh, and yes my wheel is the force feedback version, there's a cheaper one wiht no FFB but I thought mine was worth the extra £20.
 
cheers joe, you may need to update the part of your sig where you credit me for letting you use my "controller". From now on it's "vtec_guys PHAT williams FF f1 wheel setup" lol.
 
Nice job, V-TEC guy 👍 I reckon you should write "V-TEC Guy O+" next to that union jack, hehe... Love the battery cut off switch! Good work! 👍
 
vtec_guy
lol.
I couldnt write WRS even though I wanted to. The sticker sheet originally said "HALL 2, COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW" and the "S" was missing. I wanted to write GTP on the side but oviously there were no letters for that.

Hey Vtec_guy.... Yes, you can do it! if i can do it, you surely can...

Easy as hell... and cheap too.

Go to lettering shop. (where they do custom stickers for advertisement on cars, trucks, etc...) and buy 3M sticker vinyle... i got it for 1$ a feet... real cheap.

then, you cut what every you wan't with an Xacto... using something you printed.

Don't believe me... look at this... there is only one original sticker on that pic... the upper left one! all other, made the way i can explain to you in details if you are interested.

Well, i'm in the process of crowding mine! :P

hehehehe.

How do you like my Magneti Marelli sticker? I try to take my sticker from the game, except for the original ones, i take what i am givin for free, so i can't complain on that. There are a few more stickers on my rig, but the thing is huge, so i can manage lots of stickers on it.. yours is so small.. i understand your point.. but you could make a few little ones that you like!

Yea, if I can find the logo I might try and make a GT Auto decal like the one on the Ford GT LM Spec II in the game:D.
 
Hello V-Tech,

I have a few question regarding your wheel if I may:

1. Is it USB or does it hook up through the controller port? If it's the controller port, have you had a chance to try Codemasters's Indycar game with it? (That game does not recognize USB wheel unfortunately..)

2. The set of lights on the wheel (gear indicator etc) : do they actually work with GT4 and other games?

3. The butterfly shifters: I notice there are 4 of them. Aside from shifting gears, what can you use them for? Is it a alternative throttle/brakes system like some other wheel have? What I'm wondering here is whether or not you could actually use one as a manual clutch. GT4 does not have that option but TOCA2 does. The game is that more challenging when using the clutch. Most people that play the game with the DFP use the L2 button or the upper arrow on the dpad as the clutch. Have you tried your wheel with that game? (the best racing simulation on the PS2 in my opinion..)

Thanks again!
Heres my sim:

hey Philsterspeed,

1. It plugs into the USB port and the controller port, but the other little one that the DFP uses is free.

2. The digital display on the wheel shows what mode the wheel is in (F for force feedback, A for analog, and D for digital). And the other screen has a stopwatch and the two big numbers above them are used to show how much the wheel is turned (that bit is kinda hard ot explain, maybe ill get pics some day).

3. The 4 butterfly shifters on the back are for L2, R2, L3, and R3. I use the top ones for shifting since theyre more comfortable. I've tried using one as a clutch in Toca RD2 (I have it too). But I couldnt get the clutch feature to work (not a problem with the wheel). I assigned a button for the clutch but I just need to turn the clutch feature on. I also enjoy playing Toca a lot. I prefer GT4 for it's overall physics engine but then I prefer the AI in RD2 (for those who havent play they actually avoid you n stuff!) and I like the fact that you get a full grid and the racing series in the game are pretty good.

But i've never played/heard of the Codemasters's Indycar game, is it good?
