I'm off, too.
My G27 seems to have died.

That was rough.
Qualified on pole for Sim Lab PCC race. P3 gamed the start by hanging back and getting a running start on the front row cars. I slowly moved over to discourage him but he kept coming to take the holeshot into T1 @ Sebring. Happily Mr Cheater pushed off onto the grass and fell back to his rightful position. Unfortunately, I lost a position to the unsportsmanlike conduct. In the end it didn't matter, Mustang stuck in 2nd gear after T6, had to let the entire field except for maybe a Soltice or two past.
Lost 50-60 iR, 0X was little consolation as I am maxed out @ A4.99.
Looking at Fanatec wheel and pedals but the base is unavailable at the moment and I'm not sold on any of the pedal sets.

Sorry to hear about your wheel Tom. You can run the G27 pedals USB separately through a Leo Bodner 12 bit cable.

Thanks for the scoop on the pedals, KJ. I figured that worst case I could take the steering wheel off the G27 base and bolt it to the side of my rig to drive the pedals and shifter. I assume that the Leo Bodner cable adapts the Logitech plug that normally connects under the wheel base to a USB plug? Leo Bodner cable here: www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187Ricmotech has a load cell kit for the Logi pedals. www.ricmotech.com/load-cell-upgrade-kit-logitech-pedalsWith the Logitech pedals, I have my pedals as [brake] [clutch] [throttle] as I left foot brake and with the brake in the normal middle position, I get discomfort in my left hip. The better Fanatec pedal set (Clubsport V3) evidently have no nice way to re arrange the pedals. Maybe I could get away with shifting the throttle and brake as far right as possible and the clutch as far left as possible but that's an expensive MAYBE. Fanatec Clubsport V3: fanatec.com/us-en/pedals/clubsport-pedals-v3The more entry level Fanatec pedals but with a load cell are the "CSL LC". They are like the Logitech pedals in that they can be removed from the base and mounted any which way I want, with simple plug-in cables for each one. Annoyingly, the standard pedal faces are a cheap plastic step down from the Logi pedals. That can be remedied with the optional aluminum faces but even then they have no adjustment. A bigger problem could be the brake pedal spring which reportedly makes for short travel and is very stiff but that complaint is an internet pundit's complaint; a brake pedal should be short travel and stiff and I believe that a closed cell elastomer would work progressively like an air spring, which seems to be exactly what we'd want for a simulated brake pedal. Fanatec CSL LC: fanatec.com/us-en/pedals/csl-pedals-lcThrustmaster has a nice pedal set that I think has higher resolution (for whatever that's worth) than the Clubsport V3s and maybe a happier place for my heels but same thing as the Clubsport V3s as far as freedom of positioning. I'm almost ready to throw $1000 at something just to stop spending time on this, lol.
