G25 Wheelplate with Pro-Race and Button Adapter
« on: January 03, 2013, 08:11:59 pm »
Hi All,

My son brought me the subject items for a Xmas pressie....looking today for how to wire it all up.  Cristiano has advised me about the spade connectors required to make up the wiring connections to the button adapter.  I have ordered those and so now looking forward to making the whole thing fit my G25 wheel.  Does anybody have any pictures of their wheelplate mounted and wired up?  Is there a favourite position to mount the button adapter?

Any help suggestions or advice welcomed.

Cheers Phil

Remove the Wheel
Take care wired, dont exits the wheel harder
Remove two screws


Watch the small red arrows... remove connector carefully with flat and small small screwdriver
So now you really have the wheel out and separate from the rest of the FFB engine


Remove 3 screws
Now you have all out, wheel and pads too


Remove only the RED screws


Open the FFB case...


Now the KEY of installation.
Follow the wire... and you see is going through the center to the back of the FFB box...
Through you have to pass some USB cable.
When you use the 900º theres no problem now, and the cable of course dont tangle on the wheel, ...it turns on itself because its in the center.


A - Exit hole, so you must put the USB (cut) through there... and exits the FFB case in B
C - it s a electronic device (rectangle) that I dont need to remove to do this thing... just a little patience.


Cut the USB cable carefully
You can use the same extreme of the USB, or you can cut it, and simply stick with "liquid metal" (pewter) each color with the same of course.
Some insulating tape






Then ensamble carefully all, and that´s it.

Regards
Gabriel

Gabriel! well made tutorial,great  8)
“UNDERSTEER” is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
“OVERSTEER” is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
“HORSEPOWER” is how fast you hit the fence.
“TORQUE” is how far you take the fence with you.

A: Notice small curve cut in the shape to avoid "orange" component
B: Cut a rectangle for the cable connector --- make it wide to the outside side (you right or your left depends XD)
C and G: holes to go through the wires
D and G: no contact
F: make contact all arround for support and prevent movement

NOTICE: you can see it... but in the image...try to wear out in a few places were some componets are a little bit outside (your to prevent smal moves in components)


Do NOT make contact on small laterals (give 1mm space) because if its move just a minor thing... the shift pads get stuck ;)... so make contact all arround as possible but give some minor space.

P.D: yesterday with some Team we take the RoadAmerica 8hour race, and we finish 8th with a few mistakes so we ruin the possible podium... but the thing is, was the real firetest for this AddOn was incredible all the race... we can handleeverything about engine, where and how to push, the fuel strategy, help with tyre wear... really work incredible. When the night arrives at the end of the race, everthing was more intense and light and yellow cautions on the wheel too helps me a lot because apears a few seconds before than the yellow in screen, so help me to avoid debris and some cars in the middle of the track
