Racing Wheel Recommendations (PC)

[drew]

Toying with the idea of getting back into sims a bit (Project Cars piqued my interest).

Any recommendations on wheels?

I've been out of this game for a long ass time.

If you want to mess a bit with it, I'll send you my old Fanatec Porsche GT2 wheel, for shipping only. PC/XBox 360/PS3. Not sure about PS4, doesn't work on XBone. It has an issue where the wheel rim is wobbly. Fanatec said it couldn't be fixed, but I imagine you could open it up and reinforce it maybe.

You'll have to supply your own pedals.

Interesting.

Since I don't have an XB1 or PS4, that makes it easy

of course, I don't have Project Cars/any car sim either, so....

If you want bling, get the new Logitech G-series wheel. But don't expect to be able to use the PlayStation version on Xbox or PC. The cunts involved with licensing, probably at Sony, put a stop to that. On the plus side, the G29/G920 looks really, really nice.

If you want options galore and are willing to spend big $$$, go with Thrustmaster. You could easily blow hundreds on a wheel base with a F1 wheel add-on, and a shifter, and pedals.

The main difference between the two is how they're driven. Thrustmaster uses belts to provide the force feedback, while Logitech uses a gear-driven system. Belts are smoother and more organic, gears are more precise. It's really up to you which you'd prefer.

You should get it just because it's called THRUSTMASTER

For years, I had the Force RS, if that's any indication of the level/feel I'm used to?

Admittedly, it's been at least 5-6 years since I've used it (and it's long since been donated).

I remember spending over £200 on one of these back when we raced GPL


And the pedals went bad, the pots were all wonky and I think one of them stopped working. I called Logitech to report it, thinking I'd have to send it back but 3 days later I get a knock at the door and it's a courier with a


And I still have it, although the power brick has gone AWOL at some point but it still works!

I tore my Momo (the black one) to bits. Good wheel at the time.

Didn't Nathan take one to Afghanistan or wherever he tourrd first?

I think it was the Force GT.
