Try as I might, I just haven't been able to get back into sim racing
after trying on and off for the last 6 months or so. I've moved on to
turn based games like chess and Civilization 4, which neither require a
super powerful computer nor lightening fast reflexes. Neither of which
I no longer have.

I thought that before I put my wheel and a few games up on ebay, that I
would offer them here first. If anyone is interested in these items,
please email off list. Thanks.

Just curious, but is this the same stuff you have been trying to sell
for like 2 years? I seem to recall that I wanted to buy the wheel last
year at some point and then you changed your mind halfway thru the
discussion.

Yes it is. I decided to give it one more shot after I finished with the
eye surgeon, but try as I might the "thrill was all gone". The wheel is
in the closet, and the sims that I saved are in a bookcase just
gathering dust.

the fact that there are no good online racing solutions may contribute
to this feeling

It more permanent with me, just can't get back into it. I just have the
feeling that I've been there and done that so it's time to move on.

You're a ***ing toolshed.

Ofcourse after spending a lot of time on simracing the thrill gets
less and less. I stopped simracing for a while because my former pc
couldn't handle the newer sims. Now that I've 'discover' rFactor and
the mods I'm getting huge enjoyment again from sim-racing.

Besides that I now drive with the G25, manual clutch and using the
H-shifter. It's like learning to drive all over again. Heel/toe is
HARD :)

Cheers
Andre

Please explain what a ***ing toolshed is?

A ***ly active toolshed? Seems pretty self explanatory to me. I guess
that's how you get little toolsheds.

Come to think of it, it could also be a toolshed used for *** activity.
Probably when the wife is home.

Andre - Heel/Toe with the G25 is next to impossible because you would
NEVER position the pedals like that in a real race car. When the brake
pedal is depressed it should be along the same plane as the gas pedal
so all you need to do is brake with the ball of your foot and blip the
throttle with the outer edge. I saw some pics a while back of a rig
someone made by dismantling the G25 and rearrangeing the pedal layout
to be like it should be.. If I can find it i'm going to try building
the same rig. Maybe there is some way to drop the gas pedal an inch
+/-, that would work also.

It's called simulation for a reason, Andre... <g>

If it's "a mood thing", you're not really racing. With the right crowd in
the right series, even plain vanilla Grand Prix Legends '67 is still as
challenging as it was 8 years ago.
