Racing Sims General Discussion / Chat Thread

Yes they do most years.

What spec is your PC?
For such a wheel your wasting it sticking to console only.

The thing is there is nothing on console to take advantage of such a wheel, apart from assetto corsa nothing else has the physics to do such a wheel justice and it will be largely wasted imo.
Your simply not going to get all the nuances a top class physics engine will send to you via that wheel on console.


For the cost of that wheel you would get a nice PC able to play all PC sims and respectable graphical settings.
Maybe by a G29 for €200 odd euros and your sorted.

In my opinion a decent PC and a G29 would be opening up a whole new world of sims on PC for you is the much better option than a lovely wheel stuck on a console with very limited options.

Its your call ofcourse but it would be like limiting a ferarri to never go above 30kph on a racetrack when you could go a hell of a lot faster and have way more fun

In an ideal world grab a decent PC and that wheel setup

G920 is basically G29, while it may be older tech i dont look at it that way [plenty of new wheels still being built with similar spec].
My way of looking at it is its just different tech more accessible entry level tech, nothing wrong with it, some of the fastest iracing guys use the G29 and swear by them as they find other wheels are too strong.
They just wont give you as precise,as smooth or as strong FFB as the higher end wheels.
Yes the Fanatec CSL Elite is superior and a big jump up it but it itself is nothing compared to a good direct drive wheel, there is really no limit to price and quality out there.

PCARS 1 or 2 while decent just dont have the top class physics as the alternatives, even worse is the shockingly inconsistent FFB but i suppose its a good place to start if you have no other choice [looks great too].
In my opinion the CSL would be a bit of a waste on something like this, also there is already better on console in the form of Assetto Corsa which combined with the CSL would be very nice indeed.
If your into racing sims and your willing to spend so much on a wheel you really owe it to yourself to get involved with PC sims,so much to choose from and literally an endless stream of content with both paid and free mods not to mention most devs really do support their sims with constant updates.

Dont ignore thrustmaster wheels though, they have wheels that fill the gap between G920/G29 spec and CSL spec.
Be careful though, my T300 alcantara had to returned as the connection to the base for pedals would not lock into place [a bit of blutac done the job but less than ideal]
Then when bolting it onto my Gt Omega Apex the mounting bolt just went through the plastic base never to be seen again, i could hear it if i rattled the base so again this wasnt ideal.
Shame really as it offered really smooth and strong FFB, not too far off the CSL.

Just to add if you stick with your console, dirt rally 1 and 2 are pure rally sims and both on console i believe, they will give any wheel a work out :P

Id definitely be turning down FFB strength for the little one.
Id wait until official black friday passes before buying though, you never know unless they have officially said it?
