Announcing the grand opening of our nice new 20 player GTL server. As of this afternoon 14:45hours -=[dMw]=-Dead Men Racing is up and running. So get your string backed gloves on and give it a whirl. Many thanks go to BlueBall who went to a lot of trouble copying discs, uploading a huge amount of data and listening to my mithering.
Thanks also to Gandy and the other admins for their help, understanding and sewing on all the sequins.

Thank you oh ye of the blues balls!  :D
We are not worthy!

Right just time to get the dinner in the oven and then time for a test drive methinks  :dribble:
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

Thanks for editing my post but it knowing the IP isn't necessary.

Welcome Deetzy boy. :D  Just keep the place tidy.
Deetz, a great guy for picking the brains of. The right line through a corner, the right gear to be in and most importantly,
how to adjust your tappets correctly. This is 1965 remember.

the game I ordered from amazon.

as for the wheel, I've got one of the old logitech wheels that came with Gran Turismo on the PS2. It's a standard Logitech FF wheel with pedals.

This looks to be their replacement, which I believe Doorman has personally recommended in another thread :)

The "other thread" Price seems good :) My old wheel isn't FF so I might have to look into this :)

Doorman

Just to briefly bring this back on topic. The server now has the following tracks installed:
Brno
A1 Ring
Brands Hatch
Misano
Nordschleife
Enna
Sachsenring
Oschesleben
and Virginia. These are in addition to the default tracks.
There are plenty of threads etc where you can download then so go to it!

I tell ya, there were some cracking races on tonight. 20 car start grids is really quite something!  :D  :dribble:

...and you said "is all this effort worth it?" ?

Guess it was. :)

Anyway, to drag it back off topic again which should I buy, the Logitech ES as mentioned by Ron or the more expensive Logitech MOMO? (Scan have it at about £68 and I get free postage from Scan)
