I looked back 8 pages and didn't see an F1 2020 thread. I know it's not really a sim in the true sense of the word so sorry! I played it a bunch when it came out and was disappointed that my new xbox 1 controller didn't do anything fun with the trigger vibration/variable resistance if that exists. I chalked it up to just not being coded into the game or maybe because I'm on PC it wasn't working. I booted it up yesterday and crashed immediately because my triggers are dynamically vibrating now and maybe adjusting force resistance but I can't really tell. Was this just added? And yes I know gamepads are horrible for driving games but I don't have anything else.

Would it be reasonable to consider getting into PC Sim racing/driving if I only wanted to spend like 500-600 CAD (~450USD) on this? I have a very strong PC already (no VR though), was wondering about wheel/pedal recommendations. Is this too low a budget?

Zaphod42 posted:If you already have a PC that's enough budget to dip your toes in for sure, and I wouldn't go whole-hog on a Fanatec rig until you know you really enjoy the hobby anyways. njsykora posted:Absolutely, a G29/G920 is always available for relatively cheap and the cheaper wheels like the Logitech and Thrustmaster stuff are used by the vast majority of people I'd say. I use a G29 and I'd say buy that and a nice standalone H-pattern shifter because H-pattern shifting is a lot of fun once you've got it down. Thanks, cheaper than I thought it would be. Picked up the G29 on sale (on Canadian Amazon also). I do some unimpressive track driving already IRL with a standard transmission and don't feel like I really need that for sim stuff. Looking forward to this! Thanks goons.

Alright so I got my wheel and pedals and have been playing around - so far just tried Dirt 2.0 and it.... is hard as hell but quite fun. A rolling office chair isn't going to really work for this is it? I keep pushing myself backwards trying to brake.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah try putting like a stack of books behind your office chair or something if you can. But ideal would be something more fixed. Yeah I'm in F1 2020 now and you can very easily just bring people's steam workshop poo poo into the game without even restarting it. Soooo is there a discord or something where you guys all hang out? Guess I'll check the OP but I don't remember seeing it. Would be fun to get some goon races going. I was avoiding all the tarmac driving games previously because with an xbox controller it just felt uselessly difficult but I might have to pick some stuff up now. I'm finding F1 to be much much easier/more fun than Dirt 2.0 with the wheel and pedals. e: Fellblade posted:Locking casters are cheap enough to get hold of, I use them and they work pretty well, though depends what surface you are on. I feel like even the rotation of the chair is kinda loving with me but I'm not sure if my butt is just confused why it doesn't feel any car movement. What wheels are you using? I have a Steelcase Leap so I'm guessing there is going to be a lot of aftermarket support for it.

Hey, I'm also brand new to g29 life and would love to try online stuff with a buddy if you're looking for people to play with. There was also a discord link pasted within the last page or so if you want to join the sim goons. I wonder if it's possible with f1 to do 'track day' kinda things where we both just sit on a track doing time trial stuff.

GhostDog posted:I didn't enjoy the driving in iRacing, I never felt any confidence at any speed of being in control of the cars. So while I loved the racing aspect, I could never motivate myself to practice for an upcoming race because practice is just driving. At some point I cut my losses and let my subscription lapse. The handling in iRacing feels a lot more realistic than anything else I've tried. Cabbages and Kings, just get the 3 month thing for iRacing for $5 and try it out - there's a lot of tracks and cars to try and it's a blast. I started about a week ago and I've been loving it. Goon community is fantastic also. On a related note, the Mx5 cup is now on Laguna Seca and the feeling of the steering getting light as you crest just after the start/finish line is something that blew me away the first time I felt it.

I'm a recent wheel/pedals guy that put hours and hours into racing games beforehand with a gamepad. I have to say it's worth it if you can find something, I'd look for used pedals and wheels as lots of people upgrade from the logitech stuff and probably toss their old stuff on ebay.

njsykora posted:The HP Reverb G2 is the highest res headset on the market, the other major option is the Oculus Quest 2, which requires a soul tax to be paid to King Zuckerberg (and a seperate purchase of a decent USB-C cable to connect it to the PC but that's only $20 or so) but is half the price of the Reverb for not much of a resolution drop. Then if FOV is the important factor there's still the Valve Index which is lower res but way higher FOV and price. I would expect that framerate is as important as resolution. Do all of these do 120hz?

Does anyone have any worn out grips (like from a fanatec formula wheel) that they replaced with new ones? I do leatherworking and I'm wanting to experiment with doing a veg tan leather conversion with some just to see how it turns out and whether it would be feasible to start producing them in my spare time. I'm in Canada but I can't imagine they'd be expensive to ship.

shortspecialbus posted:Agreed. I tried temporarily clamping my new Simucube 2 on something just for testing purposes and it did not work remotely well. It needs to be bolted to something stable, as will any DD. And you'll also want to make sure you have somewhere to mount the foot/knee kill switch in case your arm somehow ends up broken in the wheel and you need to stop everything. I can't imagine that being possible with a desk mount.

Essobie posted:The ones in that video are the exact ones I have. Throttle and clutch are identical. Sounds like you all spent too much money on your pedals and now you have to buy more pedals and figure where to put them if you want to fly. Try hitting the clutch with your right foot I'm pretty sure it's heavier than the gas. Could be wrong.

Honestly it would be so exhausting because you can't replicate the actual experience without the rider actually shifting their weight that often and that much. I guess at least no G's.

I get why you'd do this if you didn't care about any of the paid content but I have to mention that this has similar vibes to the people that think they're getting away with something by retiring at 30 by eating oatmeal 3 times a day for the rest of their lives. e: ugh loving page snipe ahhh well anyone ever get trigger finger? I mentioned this in the bearpope discord but 1-2 months ago I developed trigger finger on one pinky after sim racing for like 6 hours in a day and I still have it basically just as bad as I did when it was new. It's awful and frustrating. Do your stretches!
