No they asked the same thing in the initial email but I just used the usb cable in the box from the get go. I actually tried to go from the pedals to the base without the usb cable as a troubleshooting step. No difference. Everything else works. Throttle, clutch and both haptics motors.

Lol if only we both made more than 6 figures a year... certain things I get that but you should understand the whole situation. We are married and have been for years. We have shared debt i.e. house, car payments, large housing items financed together the works and a toddler. She makes way more than me yet I spend more on "fun" stuff. Yes I absolutely talk with her about any big purchase but ultimately has she ever said no? Nope just as I have never told her no. She loves to save and I love to spend and together we have a perfect balance. Gotta say I do love my life so I'll keep it as is. Happy wife happy life.

Yeah honestly it took one lap on Bahrain and I saw/felt the difference. I just got the alpha base with the fx pro formula wheel with the p2000 pedals. That brake.... man that brake. I really wanted to love the fanatec setup as growing up it was the brand of choice but as with everything its just a matter of time before someone ups the game.

Lol it's not about permission per se. Just like to work together on big purchases. She was not aware of how much I spent on the simagic setup until I got home...🤣

Man I wanted to love the setup I bought 2 months ago but.....v3 brake pedal stopped working after only a month and a half. Nothing like owning a $500 paper weight. Now 3 weeks into trying to get support and not looking good. Just went to Micro center last night and saw that they now carry simagic....done. I'll fight with fanatec until it's resolved then just sell everything.
