Everyone here has probably heard about AL reducing the steering resolution significantly in the new RS wheels. I'm wondering if anyone has tried the old PC engine module in the new wheels, and if it gives the high-resolution steering back. I just finished rebuilding the spring mechanism in my RS shifter again, and I'm wondering when something's going to give out in the wheel. If I can just plug my old RS engine (serial/USB version) into the new wheels, then great - otherwise I've got to find an old wheel soon! Also - has anything been re-engineered in the newer shifters, or does anyone have a recommendation for an improved shifter spring material? My shifter springs eventually break at the concentrated stress point, and I've only got so much spring left to re-bend! TIA! Kendt
Have tried a v2.2, v2.1 and a serial cart in both a ForceRS and non-FF RS, all worked fine. And AL used to have a program where you could exchange the serial carts for a USB one, so there really should be no problems in using the older cart in the newer wheel. Oh, and the v2.1 gave the same resolution in both wheels. No idea about the shifter. Ken Kendt Eklund wrote:
