Dirt 3 Complete Edition Back on Line for Wheel owners



Yes! Alright Dirt 3 Complete Edition is back online with a patch from the developers. The problem was customers including myself with various wheels manufactures would have the wheel pulling to the right as if you had a right front flat tire. Didn't matter what setting you changed, unless you turned off the (FF) Force Feedback the issue was their. Which for a driving game there is no use in playing it without FF. Duh! 
Well glad to see the developers now fixed it. Enjoy drifting again my friends! 
Check it out on STEAM for only $29.99

Developer notes below:

[developer] 10 hours ago

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that we've just set the FFB patch live and it should automatically download for you shortly.

Here's the patch notes

FFB Fix – (Wheel Input) – Resolved instances of certain steering wheels pulling to the extreme right.

We have however had the following known issue crop up – Logitech Formula Force EX Force Feedback Wheel under certain circumstances is not detected. (We're still looking into that one so please let us know if it affects you)

Please be sure to let us know if you experience any further problems and thanks again for being so damn awesome!

Let me know if it is working (or not) for you and sorry it took so long.

Sim Instruments new Dash Coming Soon



Sim Instruments new dash is coming! I can't wait to check it out. I'm in love with my existing sim instruments dash and I'm ready to check out the latest and greatest that is in development.


So what are some of the features of the new dash?

Take a look at the video above to see some of the new features in action. Not allot of info released yet, but what we know is this new dash will have a new square led shape along with the warning lights running vertically instead of the triangular alignment from the original dash. See the pic of original dash.




Sim Instrument have been working on this new design for over 6 months and are eager to bring it to market. Currently working with their suppliers and manufacturers to start production soon. As a bonus for the extended wait time the new dash will have more new features included. 

Check out my original review and setup of the original Sim Instruments dash.
