Q - 5, R -5
That was a tough race for me. I've been struggling with my wheel
for a while now, and it affected me quite badly in Shanghai. The
downshift is becoming unreliable, and it's worst in the high
braking areas where you have to go down through the gears quite
quickly. Unfortunately there's 4 of those in Shanghai! It meant
that I had to be extra careful to make sure I was in 1st gear
when I wanted to be. Had to break early, sometimes hit the
downshift once more when it didn't work. And even then I
couldn't get it right every time, so I'd be in 2nd instead of
first, run wide and get a slow exit. I was costing me some time
pretty much every lap. Late in the race, I over compensated and
ended up in neutral, which caused a spin.
So 5th was ok, given all the problems, but it's really
frustrating because I'm sure I would have had the pace to be
pushing for the win. At the end of the race I was so exhausted
with fighting the wheel that I had to just log out and lie down
:-[
Not sure what to do about the wheel. I'm already on my 2nd G27.
The first was replaced because of a different fault. I've had a
google and it looks like other people have a similar problem
with the downshift.
I might still do the next 2 races. There's really only one heavy
breaking zone at Istanbul and Catalunya, so it might not be too
bad. Monaco will be a nightmare though. Missing a gear will mean
a trip into the barrier. So I'm thinking that I will either send
the wheel away after the Catalunya race, or just call it a day
with F1 2011 at that point, and maybe get a different wheel when
the new game is out.

I did think about it - for about 1 second!! But it's a slippery
slope. Pretty soon I'd be using some crazy out of the car camera
angle too ;D
I haven't used a controller at all on the 2011 game, so I don't
think I want to go back to it. Also, I've just realised that
I've had the current wheel for a bit over 12 months, so I won't
be able to get a replacement. So now, I'm really not sure what
to do.

That sucks Nashy :(
Was wondering why you were off the pace.
5th was pretty good considering, well done :)

Hi! supanash i had the same problem at kuala lumpur and i do
know how to fix the problem.
U have to open the pedals and just clean inside, if it still
not good u can swap the cilinder of the pedals that will fix! It
is very simple sistem inside. Thanks

Thanks Striker! I'll give it a try. The warranty is expired now,
so I may as well open it up and take a look. If I have to get a
new wheel, I did notice that logitechshop.com.au is now selling
G27s for $245. they've swapped the 4 and 2 around since I bought
mine!

hey nash on the down shift thing i noticed it at abu before the
shicanes,
and i found that it if you slap it down really qwik you have to
be at the right rev for it to go in, i noticed i wasnt getting
into 1st/2nd and it was annoying me then reading your post i
thought i hope my wheel hasnt shat itself aswell, so i tested it
out and to get into 1st u have to be goin slower for it to slip
in properly. i did a big downshift really fast and hit it 6
times no more and was still in 3rd lol. i found after taking a
milli second longer to go into 2nd and 1st i would never miss
the gear again. anyway good luck mate.
