I just completed my Thrustmaster F1 wheel mod using a SIMR-F1 display. This display is really close to the MacLaren PCU-6D display used in real F1 cars, except for the orange colored lateral displays. The SIMR-F1 is HUGE and barely fits the Thrustmaster F1 wheel, but in the end I'm really satisfied with the result: The wheel now has: * 1 SIMR-F1 display - 15 LED rpm display (5 green, 5 red, 5 blue) - 6 additional LEDs (pitlane, optimal shift point, overheat ...) - left display panel (rpm, water temp, oil temp, current lap, remaining laps, laps before pit ...) - center display dedicated to current gear - right display panel (best laptime, optimal laptime, delta to best, delta to opti ...) * 8 buttons - stock buttons connected to the display (k, n, pit, pump, pl, drs, +10, -1) * 5 up-down encoders - 2 stock encoder connected to the display (dif in, chrg) - 3 additional encoder (mix, grp, trq) * 3 12 position switches - left display panel variable selection (boost) - right display panel variable selection (rev) - Ferrari knob (MF) * 3 3 way switches - 3 stock 2 way switches are replaced (bo, start, wet) * 2 d-pads - both d-pads are connected together * 2 paddle shifters - stock paddle switches connected to the display On the SIMR-F1 the following inputs and outputs are used: - 30 digital inputs (buttons, encoders) out of 32 - 3 12 position switches out of 9 - 0 analog inputs out of 2 - 0 external LEDs out of 7 All the hardware, software, tools and steps involved to complete this mod are commented in the following post: http://www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/12982-thrustmaster-f1-wheel-mod-with-simr-f1-display-switches-and-encoders Here are some short videos with the wheel in action on iRacing: In race conditions:

Hi Guys, I have just noticed that my T3PA pedals have become detached from my T500RS wheel base, the problem is the cable has become detached from the rj11/rj12 connector. The problem I am having is I do not know what type of connect I need it looks like either an RJ11 or RJ12 with an offset lug, I live in the UK and I cannot find any that are compatible from looking at ebay/amazon etc.. I did order some that looked identical on the Internet the details can be found below (however these do not fit in the port on the wheel base) Manufacturer Code: 940-SP-3066-OST Manufacturer: Stewart Connector Plug, MMJ, 6WAY Website: http://uk.farnell.com/browse-for-products Could anyone please help with this and the PIN out configuration!! Any help would be very much appreciated Kind Regards Rambomonkey

Guys, Since one week my T500RS shuts down when I turn very quickly the wheel. I noticed it playing DIRT Rally with low FFB allowing very fast movements with low FFB sometimes, In fact, that's the power supply that cuts and come back to life few minutes later, so I think it's over current or over voltage, and now I want to know if it's due to the power supply / due to the wheel or perfectly normal. I made some tests I noticed some events and I need help from other T500RS users to know if it's normal or specific to my wheel. First, power supply plugged to the wheel but not to the wall when I turn the wheel the power supply LED turns ON, is it the same for you guys? (if yes no issue on my wheel, if no maybe something wrong and motor send back current to the power supply and that's what causes shuts down) Second, and more important, I can reproduce the issue I have in game in the controller configuration panel (where you set rotation angle), on this panel (wheel pluged in and powered, the wheel is loose and allows very fast rotation) when I turn very fast a few times both ways, it cuts. If someone can do the test, I would appreciate and don't panic if it cuts just unplug everything and wait a few minutes for the power supply to recover. Hoping someone can help me in my debugging, Last thing, I replaced the fan in my t500rs when I noticed the first shuts down, the fan was dead and maybe overheating caused damaged to my power supply or wheel, (I hardly recommend to change it for the Noctua NF-A6X25 FLX even if it still works) I sent an email to thrustmaster support. Cheers, Vincent

• Sold • Excellent condition apart from minor scruffs on the steering wheel. You'll get the original box for the T500RS and the Playseat comes with optional seat sliders and shifter mount ($105 combined value). This wheel is fully compatible with PC and PS3 racing games, as well as virtually every good game for the PS4 (Assetto Corsa, DiRT games, DRIVECLUB, F1 games, Gran Turismo Sport, Project CARS 1 & 2, WRC games). I live in Olympia, WA which is south of Seattle. Shipping might be an option, but I would much prefer a local sale.

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone else has had problems after updating the T500RS firmware to V46? Mine doesn't recognise the GTE rim correctly - sees it as a "TM wheel & hub" and the paddles don't operate! I downgraded to firmware to V43 and it works fine. I've contacted TM, but they are a bit slow to respond. Thanks

Please go to the last page for the latest updates! My rig as of 06/11/16: Video Tour from 9/19/2015: Original post from 1/1/2013 is as follows: Hey guys, long time reader, infrequent poster. Just took the plunge with an ikea table and a 32 inch TV with my Fanatec wheelstand, and a car seat on a homemade base to make a "dedicated" driving setup and am loving it. I have always wanted to do triples tho, and was thinking that another ikea table and 2 more 32 inches might do the trick... plus my PC instead of my PS3 of course. SO I was wondering what the pros/cons would be of instead of getting monitors I just grabbed a couple more of these TV's and used them to do triple screens? The TV's are APEX 60Hz 720p and my current video card is a GeForce 660TI, so I'm pretty sure it will do the trick, please experts, I need your knowledge! Thanks.
