GTR2 Lobby Servers Down – Fix In The Works

Posted on August 14th, 2009 in -

Just like the GT Legends lobby servers for online racing, the GTR2 lobby servers are now unavailable due to the bankruptcy of 10tacle Studios a year ago.

Simbin is currently working hard to fix the problem that was caused by the server domains expiring due to the owner company’s bankruptcy. The folks at Simbin are determined to keep the online community of both titles alive, both a temporary and permanent fix are currently in the works.

There’s no info given on when the servers will be back, the temporary fix should be available quite soon so sit tight – The servers will eventually be back!

Until Simbin can get control of the domains and fix the problem, GT Legends users can use the workaround provided by Racedepartment.com.

“Feels Real” FFB Settings for the Logitech G25

Posted on July 18th, 2009 in -

While rFactor has two very popular plugins that improve the simulation’s Force Feedback effects, GTR Evolution and other Simbin simulations rely on the sims’ own effects.

This changes now as Freejrs has spend plenty of time trying to come up with more realistic FFB settings optimised for the Logitech G25, the most popular sim racing wheel.

His new settings promise to deliver more mass transfer feedback instead of solely relying on feedback from the tires. Steering damper and friction effects have been removed to allow feedback from the tires and the suspension without distortion.

The new effects are available for GT Legends, GTR2 and RACE07/GTR Evolution. If you tried them, why not leave others some feedback about the result?
