Where you on Home Improvement?

@gordata2nice No [confused]

Not sure if you know this trick but if you are not happy with you elite's FFB in general, here is a quick trick to make it a lot better: Install logitech G25 drivers and switch Elite to PS3 mode. Now your elite will have best of both worlds. You can still adjust settings on your wheel too. Thats what I did with mine and I love it.

@SpontsXF1 yeah, I heard about that....I finally got around to trying it to get FFB working with Project CARS, but my wheel won't go into PS3 mode, and Fanatec is ignoring me :(

Wyou didn't have to disassemble it, you only had to run a piece laptop bag strap over the too so it would fit like a VRX. You could have just removed the pad bracket. It's an awesome device. Wish you luck.

@mayamanign Tried that too....the problem with it setup from the factory is the forehead pad is too far back and I cannot get my eyes close enough to the eyepieces to see the images clearly unless the forehead bracket is removed completely (I had no idea my forehead was so ginormous until now).

POS its junk. $899 for 720p ROFL.

@SpontsXF1 Mine puts my G27 to shame, no Logitech drivers needed

@miahallen Hope its more comfy now, theres a few nice ideas on the avg official hmz owners thread like using a welding helmet strap to get a comfort fit you might want to check out. Thanks again for the video review with trackir i think its still one of the only ones online at the mo :)

@miahallen I imagine the engineers had a recessed forehead, given their cognitive detriment; they lack the need of a bigger skull.

I'm sorry you were cursed with an abnormally superior brain, but I think you should have done a little more research before purchasing this penguin beak piece of garbage on your face.

You should have tried to return it or sell it on ebay, and made your own instead.  This thing is primitive and pathetic.

you should of got the confort 3 cushion pads before ripping it apart , can then play for hours without disconfort

@JogBird are you a detective?

[miahallen]

@Falandorn LMAO...thanks....I'm sure I could have gotten it better, but the discomfort ruined the possibility :(
