I'm currently on the up to 38mb speed, most download speed tests for me are around 25-30 and downloads are really really quick. My upload speed is usually below 5 though, that 7 minute KSP vid I uploaded for you took 50 mins.

Didn't check the size of it though before uploading :p My downloads are 17meg on normal phone line, uploads are painfully slow but only just noticed as I don't normally upload videos. Keeping my money saved for new GPU later this year from the TX wheel refund, might give the 780 to my brother as it doesn't seem like @Herby007 wants it as I didn't get a reply. BT are meant to be installing fibre optic in March according to them. Mind you not many people get 17meg with a normal phone line, it's normally 6 or 7 so I feel special. It helps that I live right next to the phone exchange thing (those green box things)The night day video is nearly done, and I've got some more to upload, one is an open wheel car. It's not that fast, but is a blast around corners :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hmm Looks like I could get a good wheel for my Xbox One at some point, sad that it doesn't look like my GT2 will become compatible, but who know maybe it will."Landshut, Germany – 3.10.2014 – This is the announcement many people have been waiting for and we are happy to announce that Endor AG (the company behind the brand Fanatec) and Microsoft Corp. have closed a license agreement to make racing peripherals for the Xbox One. Fanatec plans to release a broad line up of racing wheels which will fit all kind of racing styles and different budgets.Xbox One brings the latest in innovation and power to the development of racing peripherals giving fans of Fanatec products the opportunity to play the newest Xbox One titles with full support and integration. Available soon, fans will be able to enable Xbox One compatibility on their Fanatec wheel bases by simply attaching an Xbox One steering wheel to an Xbox One enabled Fanatec wheel base (like the ClubSport Wheel Base V2), making their whole system compatible to Xbox One. Additional details and features will be announced soon.Additional Fanatec peripherals like pedals, shifters or handbrakes that were purchased with an Xbox 360 will also be compatible with Xbox One. The modular configuration system in the Fanatec webshop allows you to purchase only the components you need.Thomas Jackermeier, CEO of Endor/Fanatec: “I am very excited to announce this partnership as we have been working with Microsoft behind the scenes on new and exciting products. Xbox One and “Forza Motorsport” will continue to be a landmark of ultra-realistic racing simulations on any gaming console and we look forward to bringing this realism to a whole new level for our fans.” Edit: Grr was going to use my invitation code for the v2 base (as I forgot about it) but it had to be used by 24/12/14 god damn it. Basically how it's compatible with the X1 is via a addon wheel rim, as it has a security chip inside that's needed. What this also means is there's no reason why the Thrustmaster T500rs shouldn't be made compatible, as you can change rims on that. All they'd need to do is make a new rim and I could use it instead of using the crappy TX wheel that goes wrong if the wind blows on it. Bet Thrustmaster don't do that though :( Now I'll have to wait until the Fanatec V2 base goes on general sale.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I'll probably play it both ways eventually but it seemed the right move to make from a moral standpoint as they were abusing their powers. Haven't played Inqusition yet but I think I'm on the final level (as I'm about to storm the Kirkwall's Circle of Magi which I think is the final act in the game) so will probably start Inquisition today at some point.

It didn't come today :( Kinda wish I got it for PS4 though, as I could've played it with you (if you eventually got it) but nobody here has it for PC, so I'll be going solo lol. The beta was pretty good, so I'm hopeful it's a good game. It's the spiritual successor to TDU (1) so it should be pretty good. I wish it didn't have upgrades though, as I love just driving them stock. TDU 1 was magical when released, I had it for 360 and using the wireless FFB wheel it was awesome. God knows how they messed up TDU2 so much, the map was great but there was no FFB :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you my next pass through will hopefully be a little bit different as I'll hopefully do it with an Origins save and all the DA2 DLC which I recently bought so am already looking forward to that.

sjsharp2010 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've started Inquisition taking a while to get used to the controls as they're different from Origins and DA2 I'm used to the game auto pausing whenever I go into combat mode. All in all so far other than that I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Still don't know what it is with Bioware and giving your character titles though in Origins you're the Hero of Fereldan in DA2 your the Champion of Kirkwall, in Inquisition you're the Herald of Andraste or whatever it's called.

Hughesy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 @Lukedfrt Playing The Crew, it's pretty good actually. I had to turn my wheel down to 500degrees but the FFB is pretty good. It's not a sim by any means, but it's good fun :D Well worth the £15, and seems well optimised for PC. The only problem I have is the sound level is low. Every time I launch I have to alt tab out and go to sound mixing and turn The Crew up, as it defaults to 20% for some reason :# Think it would be more fun if I had friends to play it with :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Oh fuck off! Now my T500rs has gone wrong. Instead of showing up as "T500rs" it shows as "Thrustmaster FFB wheel" and doesn't work in games or let me change wheel settings in the driver. It's not in warrenty either :( Got it working earlier but now it won't work again. Looks like I'll have to buy a new wheel after all.It it seems every time I unplug it and plug back in. I have to uninstall drivers then reinstall, then restart PC. Something's not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the weird sound problem I have, it works perfectly. The graphics and physics are much better than the beta. It's good fun and there's plenty to see and do :) It can be a little overwhelming with so much to do, but it doesn't take long to figure it all out.

Really give up, I've already waited an hour & a half and now this. Why are there normal updates for it, and then updates that take place within the game?
