tell me a racing wheel for PC to buy

I just bought a G27. Since that's what everyone seems to recommend under like 500usd. I've only had it a few days, but it seems well worth the 220 I paid for it.

Safe bet to just buy the PC versio

advion posted:

Doesn't make sense. At least I hope it doesn't since we've still been doing pit entry and exit QA lately and the car pathing is still quite horrible among other issues and things still partially implemented.

Odds are they are throwing all resources at the console versions atm.

I want to buy an Xbox One for Forza 6, but I don't know yet. I really miss the Forza series. :/ I get PCARS for PC with all of the DLC for free, but my PC isn't that good so I'm gonna buy this for PS4.

I bought my Xbox One strictly for Forza games.

I love racing sims, but loving hell if I don't love car collection games!

Mad at myself for getting a G27 for my PC and finding I love using wheels in racing games. (Up to this year I always used controllers)

Now I'm trying to find a solution for PC/PS4/XBone. :(

, so far that 'bug' just looks to be a different way to do motion blur that people seem to think is worse because of too much ghosting. I won't be getting that version anyways though.

I really do wish pc would support the xbox impulse triggers though

Windows would have to support them first. loving Microsoft. :argh:

Kind of disappointing. Also: I thought a week ago they said May 8th midnight was the release most places; is Steam getting it a full day early? Wonder if that'll impact GMG timing or if us going the cheap route will be waiting till late Thursday/early Friday.

Good thing the Dirt Rally surprise last week has been more than satisfying my racing game wants. I hope PCars is as satisfying as it has been and is essentially the road version of it.

Steam shows me the 7th for release.

I was having a mad over reaction to my pedals breaking. I was real upset over it and wanted to take out my frustrations somehow.

I really don't expect Thrustmaster to do anything and I can't afford a new wheel.

Can't you just replace the pedals and not the whole wheel setup? Or epoxy the pedal and reinforce it with something to get you by for now?

That's kinda what I figured once it was announced digital console version gets all of the free car packs that the PC version gets too. That's very weird to me, but ooh well.

I guess the issue is you need to submit your game 8 weeks prior to the preorder date.

Given the constantly changing release date, I'm sure you see the issue.

Check the PC gamer one. They played it with a controller.

That's like reviewing a fighting game with one hand tied behind your back.

Still nice to see they put some effort into the controller unlike AC.

Speaking of contollers. Any of you beta duders using a g27? If so, what settings are you using?

I found every car impossible with controller in AC. Could just be me, but I've always done okay in Forza and GT with contollers.

I have been wanting something to supplant my Forza itch. However, the PC Gamer review says that the game does not play well with gamepad controllers. Is it any worse than, say, Grand Turismo or Forza with a pad?

I can't seem to get my G27 to feel right. I feel retarded, but I don't get the wheel calibration.

First it has me do a full wheel rotation. That part I get. When it asks me to turn it so it's 90 degrees. Am i supposed to center the wheel first then do the 90 degree movment? Or do I put it at 90 from the fully turned clock or counterclockwise turn?

I feel like I'm having to work my wheel way more than any other sim I've played.

Something about the FFB lining up with the camera shake in this. It gives me a better road feel, and controll that I haven't had in other sims.

Over the years I have come to realise that:

Arcade = everything works
Sim = gently caress around with controller settings for hours

The net result is you get to drive cars around, I'm starting to think sims are redundant.

Redundant for you. I find arcade racers dreadfully boring now. (Forza Horizon 2 is still alright )

When I get home from work I'll try a contollers for a bit. But my G27 didn't take hours of setup.

I could see why carts with a controller would blow though. They are really twitchy with a wheel, but controll really well. But I'm generally using really small inputs since they have a reduced turning radius vs a regular car.

Probably because the "typical" sim crowd loves things to be overcomplicated and unapproachable, Spending hours tweaking .ini files to get the handing to match their preconceived notions of how a racing car handles is exactly what they want. It also provides them a high horse from which they can dismiss anyone who questions the authenticity because that person obviously didn't take the time (hours) to gently caress with files and settings.

PCARS changes that by being simulation and also easy as gently caress to configure, so of course the typical crowd is already dismissing this game as console trash for reasons such as "The cars feel wooden" and "too much grip" and obviously the multiple professional racers who tested the game extensively through it's lifespan and posted detailed logs of that testing on the development forum are incompetent/paid off/never played it/pr stunt/etc.

Who's saying this poo poo?
