Yup, the pedals are not position as they should be, I wonder why the
hell they put the brake and gas pedals so far apart. I saw pics too of
different pedals mods, might be something I'm going to do eventually
too. Fortunately I have quite big feet which makes it slightly less
awkward

It's mostly the shifting back in a corner which gives me the most
trouble. Especially in mods like the F1 '79 one. But it feels so much
better and real using the clutch, love it!

Personally I find the resistance of the pedals perfect, especially the
braking pedal. Controlling the brakes is so precise now.

Or that the newness of sim-racing has worn off, and we've gotten older.

There are other type of games. The Tombraider series is my favorite,
and I do play the arcade racing games, like the Need For Speed
series, mostly the offline career mode.

Well if you are going to modify your pedals, you'll need tools and those
are kept in the tool shed. Now if the tool shed doesn't have the
tools you need, you may get mad and say "that ****ing tool shed ...".

So there you have ... and I was getting worried that we were getting off
topic.

Similar to this?

Well, it looks like no one here is interested in purchasing either
the TSW2 nor the sims, so I'll put them up for sale on e-bay.

Happy New Year's all

I'm enjoying sim racing more than ever now. The combination of rFactor and
R.A.C.E.R. has been great.

Put NR2003 on eBay.
It may bring twice your asking price.

See the comment below? This is the type of person you find in many sim
leagues. They take the enjoyment out of it.
