Default G25. Opportunity? or just another headache?

It's June 26th, and still no REAL Vista software for the G25. Promised for
June release, so they still have a few days

Default G25. Opportunity? or just another headache?

Well, UPS dropped mine off here this afternoon. (Running XP; no problems
here.

The first few minutes were frustrating; too many changes all at once.
6-speed h-shifter and 900 deg of lock. I don't think I'll try that again
any time soon. 540 degrees felt pretty good after a few laps. The novelty of
handshifting and double clutching wore off pretty quick; I went back to the
shift paddles and haven't looked back. It sounds stupid, but by the second
session, I had taken 4 seconds off my best time at rFactor's Toban in a
Toyota Atlantic. Simply amazing, and almost effortlessly, too. I'm at a loss
to explain it. (Oh yeah. This might have something to do with it. Last
night, I installed RealFeel, and turned on invulnerability to really toss
around the M3. I took a few seconds off my lap record then too, but that was
sweaty work pushing the limits hard. I was still using the decade old Momo
then, with a busted shift paddle. So it's RealFeel that's helping. Or maybe
it's just invulnerability and a less inhibited driving style. Bounce off
walls *and* keep the hot tires. Real life should be so grand.

I wish I could say that I love the new toy, but I can see right away I won't
even notice it. It disappears in the hand, the way a good tool does. That's
the way I like it.
