Hmmm, that's strange, Allen. I've never done anything special to make FFB work. I used to have a G25, now have a G27, they use the same drivers. I *do* have the their "gaming software" installed, which I believe actually does have drivers (even though windows might auto-detect).
I'd install the Logi software and try again.
And glad to have you on board
We get pretty quiet during the summer months though, just FYI. Activity will really ramp back up once the weather gets crappy.

Not sure how regular I can on the rennlist races. the start times usually seem a bit early for me, but I will try to make a few (only after I've climbed up the experience / safety ratings, it's going to take me a while)

Thanks. I will try installing the software (which I didn't previously do) and see if that works.

But even outside of the "official" race nights on Wednesdays and practice nights on Sundays, lots of impromptu sessions happen during the week and on the weekends over the winter. It just really slows down in the summer. I haven't touched my sim rig since I left for CA in early June.
Oh and don't worry so much about trying to get faster or whatever before you join us. Everybody starts somewhere, the more the merrier.

Well the race nights (Wednesdays) start at either 7 or 7:30 our time... but there's usually at least an hour of open practice first. So the actual racing doesn't get started until after 8pm. I've been able to get home @ 7:30, say hello to the wife, eat something quick, and still log in and make a few qualifying laps before the race starts.

Yeah, I am honestly not even sure if there is a season going on right now. But, in the winter, various brains start exploding from cabin fever (having to talk to their spouses directly or something) and the guys from Canada show up in force. I will have my own man cave by then, and hopefully a DK2. I also am luring another DC local to join us from another bort. Hopefully he joins us in the fall/winter.

Well, I will be bringing down the average when I join.
Also an update, I did need to install the logitech gaming software to get force feedback to work.
In case this happens to anyone else, I had installed the program at work on my work computer, and when I plugged in the wheel at home, it didn't recognize it, but once I uninstalled the program and installed again and plugged in the wheel during the initial installation process, it worked just fine. Not sure why. Also, I noticed that it replaced the drivers so the USB notification now says "G25 Steering Wheel now installed" whereas before it just said USB Device now installed.
Now, what tracks and cars do I need buy?

Burkey what other leagues have you been running in? I did MX5 race tonight, I have been practicing with that car at RA to just tune up for the club race end of next month.

All of them?

For our league, the RUF (obviously). Then most of the "big" US tracks: Road America, Sebring, Daytona, VIR, Mid Ohio, Barber. JustinL had been doing the schedules and was trying his best to follow whatever track the next weekend had an event at - be it Tudor, Pirelli World Challenge, PCA Club Racing, etc. So if you know there's a Tudor race at a track, or a PCA Club Race, chances are... we will run there.

I assume we can still accept people into the league, might be best to get Allen added and then he could see the tracks we have been running, some results and see that we have a range of drivers. We did all improved over our two seasons this last winter.

It is incredibly loose on the outlap, but once the tires warm up it comes back to the old RUF handling we've gotten used to. We may have to switch to rolling starts next season to get the tires up to temp before T1.

Just did the update last night and ran some laps in the Mazda - cars are easier to recover than before.
Later run times for the west coast people would be awesome - ive joined a few sunday sessions and really enjoyed the crowd

You do need an invite to the league, so just pm me your iracing name and I'll add you. We are currently on break for the summer. The next race will be on October 29th and I think we'll do 6 week seasons this time around.
