That just happened to me and I didn’t even have 400 cars lol. Thanks for helping with the video!🙏
Thanks a lot buddy.
Still stuck on “Settings default” loading screen
Sorry, I only just saw your message. At this point I would recommend that you just use Content Manager instead of the stock game launcher. It has waaay more features.
Thank you, where can i buy this spring ?
Hey buddy Fanatec does not offer the springs for purchase on their website. You will have to contact their support team to purchase the springs. I would also advise that you purchase the little rubber piece for the metal ball on the H-pattern shifter as well. Check out this video for more details: ua-cam.com/video/kpp9l5gwgDA/v-deo.htmlsi=pSjz2X46VIhZw1RE
@@ProSimRacing Hey men, thank you for your answer. DOes this device can be buy also ?
What device buddy?
@@ProSimRacing THe ball
Oh, you don't need to buy a new metal ball. The ball in your shifter should be perfectly fine. If your shifter feels good when shifting gears manually, then all you may need is the spring for sequential shifting. I would recommend that you ask to purchase a spare spring as well, so you wouldn't have to go through this process next time a spring breaks.
Is there any video that shows how to open that section of the unit, as in how to take out the PU foam ?
The PU foam sits between the stiffness adjustment Allen bolt and the metal ball. Just back the adjustment bolt all the way out, and the PU foam and the metal ball should just fall out.
Looking back at this video after all of these years, I realized just how annoying that background music really is 😂
i have the problem when loading it stuck at 'Apps' then crash .. sometimes stuck at pits and crew then crash . after reinstall all ac still got this problem . i use latest csp version . 😢
Are you using Content Manager or the stock AC launcher?
@ProSimRacing cm
@ameyy46 That’s kinda strange for CM. I haven't had issues with Content Manager before. Try deleting CM and re-downloading the latest version and reinstalling it again and see if that makes a difference.
@@ProSimRacing still stuck at apps after reinstall cm . 😥
That's a bit strange for Content Manager. Have you tried verifying your Assetto Corsa game files through Steam? If not, that's definitely worth a try.
i have 551 cars but having this issue?
It seems to be different for some people, I'm not sure why. I've heard of some people being barely over 300 and still having issues. I would recommend just using Content Manager instead.
You did good! Although you made contact with the grass area with mostly all 4 wheels you still managed to win in the end with your precies cornering and speed! Well done 👏👏
@Civil_c1v1c LOL, thanks bud 😀
My problem with the steering wheel is that I can't shift gears, it's as if the button stopped working from one moment to the next. Could it be something to do with dirt?
Has both the upshift and downshift stopped working? Either way, it may not be a huge problem. It may be as simple as spraying some contact cleaner or even some rubbing alcohol into the micro switch and clicking it a few times to get it working perfectly again.
I have 180 cars but it says 13 percent and gets stuck
@aleqsokro5957 I hear you buddy. After further testing by me and a few friends, we still couldn't figure out exactly what triggers this problem. We all just use Content Manager instead.
I have this issue but when i go to files i don’t have any of my cars saved in files so please help, I’ve spent so much time with this game and content manager just isn’t the same.
Hey bud, when you go to the "cars" folder, is it empty? You should be seeing multiple files in there, each file representing a car.
Brother thank you❤
You're welcome buddy. If you continue having issues with the original AC launcher, I would recommend you just use Content Manager instead and save yourself the stress like I did 😀
Where do you order the spring from?? I tried fanatec and their website says they can’t ship to the USA, what a joke.
You can't get it via their website, at least not yet. You'll have to contact their support team to get a replacement spring. I would recommend that you record a short video showing and explaining your issue before contacting support because it is very likely that they will require such a video from you to help speed up the process.
Im at 302 cars ant it doesn’t load for me
I think that there's more involved than simply the amount of cars and tracks, Like possibly the size of each file. Personally, I'm totally over it. I just use "Content Manager" and save my sanity 🙂
You need to unscrew 6 more screws on the back before you can take the wheel off. Unbelievable that nobody mentions this in the comments. What good is a guide that skips half of the work?
I didn't skip anything at all, that's why the video is so long for such a simple repair. Did you watch the entire video from start to finish? I'm guessing not...
where do i get this spring🎉
Hello, the buttons on my Logitech G29 suddenly stopped working. When I check in the Windows game controller settings, it shows that multiple buttons are being pressed simultaneously when the "X" button is pressed. However, if the wheel is turned to the left, no buttons work at all, but when it is turned to the right, only the "X" button works, and when it is pressed, it acts as if multiple buttons are being pressed. What could be the cause of this? Please help
Sorry for the late reply buddy, I only just saw your comment. It sounds like you may have a cold solder issue or maybe a broken connection/wires. But I would try uninstalling all Logitech software/drivers and reboot your PC. Then reinstall the Logitech software/drivers before trying anything else.
Hello, thank you for the response. I have already tried updating and/or reinstalling all programs and drivers, but unfortunately without success. Therefore, I also believe it has to do with a broken cable. That is why my question was aimed at identifying which cables could cause such a problem, so that I can possibly replace them.
I sold my Logitech G29 wheel years ago, so I'm just going off of memory here, but if I remember correctly, there's a cable running through the center shaft that's constantly being twisted left and right as you turn the wheel. There's a possibility that the cable got damaged, or maybe the soldering connection is broken and causing your issue. That's probably the first thing that I would check if I opened up the wheel base.
Thank you for the help bro. I will give it a try.
Sure thing buddy, I hope that it works out for you.
Amazing! Just fixed mine legend🎉
Happy to hear that it worked out well for you buddy.
where do you get the replacement spring
Just started having this issue yesterday . Your video saved the day. Thanks.
You're welcome buddy, I'm happy that the video was helpful to you.
Hello Pro Sim Racing. Can you tell me how I can order a couple of these springs? I do not see them on the Fanatec site?
You are correct, Fanatec does not offer the springs for purchase on their website. You will have to contact their support team to purchase the springs. I would also advise that you purchase the little rubber piece for the metal ball on the H-pattern shifter as well. Check out this video for more details: ua-cam.com/video/kpp9l5gwgDA/v-deo.htmlsi=pSjz2X46VIhZw1RE
thanks man you solved another problem
Thanks buddy, I'm happy that the video was helpful.
Hey my gear piece broke off inside my wheel, where you run the white connector. Anywhere I can find a replacement?
Sorry to hear that, but I don't know where to get a replacement part, except maybe for Ebay.
It is like pulling teeth to get these replacement springs from Fanatec. I have three of these shifters and everyone one of them has broken at least once some twice and I have replaced the guts in one of them. I asked Fanatec for 6 springs and they will only sell me one at a time. $5 for the spring and $10 for shipping. I refuse to pay $15 for one POS #FANATEC SPRING. I have been at this for 2 months with no help from Fanatec customer service, they wait over one week to respond to emails and it is total BS. I have spent over $7000 with Fanatec since 2009. I consider myself a worthy customer to Fanatec. It may be time to move on another sim racing hardware manufacture. I would however pay $30 for 6 springs and $12 shipping. I am contemplating switching over to the Simagic Shifter.
Sorry buddy, I only just saw your comment. I feel your pain, it's an extremely frustrating situation to be in, especially since Fanatec doesn't simply offer the springs for sale on their website. Did you make it clear that you own three shifters, all with broken springs? And that you'll need a minimum of three springs to repair your shifters? I really hope that you at least get enough springs to repair your three shifters.
ive heard of the simagic also having reliability problems so it worth looking into it first. my friend had to refund his after still it still not working right after rmaing it twice and even geting a replacement. also heard of vnm shifters mishitting honstly the other 1k+ shifters they all have reliability and mishift problems. id say the th8a has the best track record but even that can get reliability and mishift problems.
I still consider the Fanatec shifter to be one of the best out there when it comes to affordability, longevity, and serviceability. It's pretty well made and easy to maintain. A broken sequential spring every now and then is expected, remember that you're constantly bending a piece of metal over and over, probably thousands of times, so it will eventually snap. The main thing for me is that it's easily repairable.
I have just installed assetto cords and I installed some mods for no hesi servers but turns out after doing that I can’t even play the normal assetto cords again and it says loading car metadata at 83% can’t even play on content manager
Corsa
Try uninstalling the mods, then verify the files within Steam. If it's OK, try running Assetto Corsa again to see if it works without the mods. I'f it works, add back your mods one-by-one, testing to see if the game works after adding each mod (this may take some time). If you're still having problems running the game, you may have no choice but to do a complete reinstallation of the game.
Thx ill try and let u know
Sure thing buddy👍
omg thx so much i tried deleting all my no hesi cars and it worked thanks alot!@@ProSimRacing
Hi asseto corsa fan here im stuck on populating favorites since i have only installed a fresh copy of this game any solution i deleted some vehicles whicht he size of the folder is now 10 billion bytes if u have solution reply. Cheers!
Hey buddy, I'm not too sure if I can help with that. I'll probably do some digging to see if I can find out anything about it.
1.045 / 5.000 My Fanatec gearbox worked without a problem, a few days ago it started to fail, when I engage gear 1 it enters R, if I engage gear 2 it flashes between 1 and 2 constantly. I have tried everything I have seen on UA-cam: 1: open the gearbox, clean the two plates with isoprolytic alcohol. 2: put insulating tape behind the plates. 3: check that the magnet is centered. 4: change the rj12 cable. 5: isolate chais with ground connection. Well today I realized what caused my error in the change. This is simply when starting the EA WRC game, then even if you close the game it is already uncalibrated and with false positives. If I do not start this game, the change does not cause false positives, verified with a fanatec program on another monitor. I have updated the program to its latest version 4.55 the firmware of the change is 1.12 From what I deduce that many users do not know why the change fails over time, in my case it has been this and I don't know how to solve it, I already deleted everything related to this game and I have reinstalled having the same problem.
Sounds like you've done just about everything that I can think of. Does this also happen in other games like Assetto Corsa, iRacing, etc, or just in the EA WRC game?
I’ve only got 124 cars and I still don’t load into assetto only content manager
I hear you buddy. The stock Assetto Corsa launcher is really weird, some people can get away having lots of mods installed, while lots of us can't. I'm too old for this unneeded stress so I only use Content Manager 😃
@@ProSimRacing haha that’s it wasn’t loading in all my mods that’s why it was saying 124 1,700 mods later I got it working I was 1200 mods over so took abit off moving and re download but we Gucci now
Wow, that's a ton of mods. The Assetto Corsa development team probably never thought of someone installing so many mods... ever 😀
Im trying to pull mine apart now. I've unscrewed everything and the entire wheel is loose except the red button. It seems to be glued down or stuck or something? I've looked through the screws a bunch of times and I got them all, do I just need to use a knife or something to cut through the glue?
Hey bud, the red dial stays on the wheel, there's no glue to deal with either. Make sure you take out all of the screws, there may be screws hidden behind the paddle shifters. It should come apart fairly easily.
Had this problem and had no idea why it would happen all a sudden but after deleting unused cars,which were 30 in my case and they were all more or less big sized with two of them beeing very large with 1GB each,i tried running it and workd like charm then added some cars which i couldn't try due to metadata error and now i can so best solution if one wants to start AC via launcher is to limit themselves with amount of cars that are installed and have ones which you're actually gonna use otherwise they're just taking up space.Glad i found this so now i know what is a problem.
Happy to hear that it worked out for you buddy, but since I've started to use Content Manager, I've never looked back. I would definitely recommend that you give it a try if you haven't already done so.
@@ProSimRacing I use Content Manager as well.
Nice...
Sean, thank you for carrying this series so long after Shaun Cole left for other things. I was a supporter of this series, and I had a lot of fun. From time to time I may join you over on PBN & GTPanama SRS/UA-cam. Take care my friend!!!
Hey buddy, thank you so much for your support over the years, I really appreciate it. Keep an eye out, I have a couple of ideas for the new year, but we'll see how things play out.
THANK YOU BROOO
You're welcome buddy, but be mindful that it doesn't seem to work for everyone. If you're still having issues, just read through the comments for additional ideas💡
Hey man i know its old but thank you for the video. Maybe you can help me with my g29. It will calibrate and turn to the right. Will bottom out and will still try to push right till it stops after 3x and will not finish calibrating. Green light flashing aswell.
Sorry to hear about that buddy, calibration issues are usually caused by a cracked or broken encoder in my experience. There's also a possibility that the encoder got loose somehow, so hopefully, it may be a fairly easy fix. I don't have a G29 anymore, so I can't make a video on troubleshooting the issue.
Need to do this to mine it's got play now
Just be extra careful with the PS3/PS4 switch as it's a bit easy to get damaged.
nice vid for helping people bud
Thanks a lot buddy, I really appreciate it.
Ty so much man 😀
You're welcome buddy 🙂
Peace be upon you, I have a G29 joystick installed on my PS4. Suddenly the power went out and when it came back on, the joystick wheel was damaged and it rotated non-stop right and left. Can you guide me on the solution?
Sorry to hear about your issue with your G29 buddy. I'm not 100% sure about the cause, but you may want to check the encoder for any signs of damage. A broken encoder is usually the reason for that type of behavior. I'm not sure how a power outage could have caused it, tho 🤔
Thanks for the spring guide install my shifter has been broken while Great vid keep up the Good work.
Thanks for your kind words my friend, I'm happy that the video was helpful to you.
my one no calibrate and in game always turning to right and wheel not function how to solve it ? anything need to repair ?
Hey buddy, the last time I saw an issue like that was due to a broken optical encoder, so you may want to do some research along those lines.
Just one more tip be careful to breake the ps4 ps3 switch when you plugged out the wheel
Yes, that switch is very easy to break, and much caution is needed when doing the repair.
Is fanatec the only place where you can get the spring and do they sell it seperately
Sorry for the late reply buddy, I only just saw your message. Fanatec is the only place that I know of for purchasing replacement springs, and they do sell it separately.
Check out the full video: ua-cam.com/users/liveOvFGwtxOjmE?feature=share
Bro im amazed you did not died with such unpredictable car when you attacked that kerb on the exit lmao
You and me both buddy 🙂 This was the last race of a six-week series, so I was already used to the way that the car handles curbs. If I had lifted all the way off the throttle, the car would likely spin out, and if I used too much brake it would have probably slid into the barrier, so I tried to keep the car balanced while going over the grass by using partial throttle.
Check out the full video: ua-cam.com/users/liveOvFGwtxOjmE?feature=share Man, it's so cool to race with a fellow Sim Racer who I can trust not to intentionally take me out. It makes for a lot of close battles, it's even better that she's a female sim racer with more skills than me :-)
This is the BEST VIDEO FOR ME ever for AC playing. Thanks so much !!!!!
You're welcome, I hope that it's helpful to you as it's not always the proper solution.
@@ProSimRacing I solved this problem with your solution, hours ago. I was surprised there has been a video on UA-cam handling this problem, and your solution definitely helps. Once again, thanks.
@@crabsgrab_simracing Sure thing buddy, you can always use Content Manager instead of the original Assetto Corsa game launcher so you can use as much cars and tracks as you wish without issues.
I don't know if mine was a different model number, but I had to unscrew more screws from the part of the wheel to take it apart
Is it a Logitech G29 as well? If you're referring to the center cap with the logo on the steering wheel, I mentioned that I had removed a few screws before just to speed up the process a bit.
@@ProSimRacing it's a G29 yes. Most of the videos I watched were like yours, but I found one or two videos that had a similar model as mine, and they also had to unscrew more screws from the back of the wheel, to pull the wheel off. Thanks for the detailed disassembly video. I installed longer clamps to fit on my desk.
@@thanosob3329 Nice, I'm happy that the video was helpful to you. I don't have the G29 anymore, otherwise I would have made an updated video now that I have better lighting and audio.
@@thanosob3329 I've also faced this issue: a have a G29 and there should be six screws on the back and six holding the cap, but there seems to be something else holding the small red wheel (which is at the front of the wheel, I'm just giving a reference) part, because everywhere else the wheel lifts up easily, but not there. Where are the additional screws? I've searched for them many times and couldn't find any apart from the aforementioned ones.
This was basically a test race for me to figure out the ins and outs of joining a race at Plebian Racing. This was their final race of a seven race series, and my first race with them, so I didn't want to get in the way of the guys who were racing for championship points. I just wanted to get a feel for things before our new season starts on Thursday 6th July with the guys at Plebian Racing.
Now I know where you are racing these days! Thank you for this!
Hey bud, I believe that was my only race with them so far. I'll probably try to do more racing this year, but I really want to stay focused on making content for my UA-cam channel and website.
