Look forward to it being exclusive to the Madbox.

Also how many supposed GTR3 games are there now? Because Sector 3 said they were making one even though ACC is basically the modern GTR.

If I'm spending $1,000 on a wheel it's not going to be a Logitech (love that G29 though), respectfully. Seems like a dope possible choice for console though.

If the $1000 price tag included the pedals I'd be on this in a heartbeat. But they cost $350 extra.

Oh yeah, this is gonna suck. Also their lead designer is a YouTuber who thinks every woman in racing is sleeping their way to a ride, so this team can gently caress off imo. There's enough sims on the market now without whatever Ian Bell is overpromising this time.

I have enjoyed his racing games, but they are not anywhere near as good as he thinks they are in his head. He is that really obnoxious sim racing dude that gatekeeps like crazy on racing sim forums, and thinks everything but his preferred racing sim is an arcade game for kids.

I have a really hard time with it also and spent a ton of time drifting in reality. It just seems like they made the friction way too low in sim, to me.

If you never tried to mess with it I’d just swap out the tires, street 90s instantly made it more manageable. Throwing my head at the wall with semi slick ice skates did improve my rbr gravel sliding though lol

I got myself a g920 + stand + Logitech h shifter and have been really loving playing dirt rally 2.0 with it. I've been using the paddle shifters for cars with sequential shifters, but I'm wondering, are there any reasonably affordable (under $100ish) solutions for either a separate sequential shifter or a combined h shifter + seq? I saw that fanatec makes a shifter that lets you go between sequential and H which is cool, but not sure I wanna drop $260 for one. Very new to this world and wondering what my options are

SHH Shifter is the one parked in that position. like 115'ish shipped.

e: now that i think about it that aliexpress has h-pattern/seq thingers too. lil rougher looking i'd just compare youtube vids idk. is cheaper tho <100

You can mod the g2x shifter to be sequential with some minor stuff. I did it with hooks and hair ties, but the cleaner solution is longer screws on the housing around the boot and some coil springs

For anyone who is into the F1 series, Codemasters just created a site to analyze all of your race statistics, data, and telemetry. You can watch replays of all of your time trial laps with full telemetry and even compare them real time to your friends, or anyone on the leaderboard

Turns out they've been collecting this data at least since F1 2021, so its all there, ready to go. This is a really cool service actually

Has anyone here put caster wheels on a GT Omega Apex? It would make my life easier if I could roll this thing around and have it sit a little higher, but the wheels I can find on Amazon seem hit-or-miss and the ones sold by GT Omega are sold out.

I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick.


The Amazon wheels DO seem to be hit or miss, but are cheap enough that it might just be worth the roll of the dice on getting a good set. But then again, I had the same uncertainty and ultimately put my rig on a weirdly-rig-sized rug and drag it around with that, but if you're already on carpet I realize it's not exactly going to work too well.

Spaz Medicine
Feb 22, 2008

That's what I wound up doing. Worst case, they suck, and I just keep using what I have now. If a goon comes through with a strong recommendation, I'll just cancel and get those.

The rug is a great idea, but yeah, I'm on carpet.

Alright well all the GT Omega addons are out of stock, I’m not buying a full cockpit (I really want one though) so I think I’m going to buy a triple monitor arm for my desk and stick with the Apex for now. Probably start with a center 27 and 2, 24’s on the side.

Things get goofy if you don't have 3 identically sized monitors with the same resolution and I wouldn't recommend it. That said, it'll still work probably, in some games better than others.
