For seating I'd probably be more concerned with cushioning for back/butt.

*edit*
vvvvvv I think a Miata/MX-5 seat in good condition should actually hit the comfort/position really nice.

Listen buddy, this is a real life simulator, I spent $25,000 dollars on my sim rig to make it as realistic as possible. I've got 15 tachometers, 23 screens that show my lap times and 18 gauge clusters. I got my actual CDL to play ATS. When I played Flight Simulator X, I got my pilot’s license and played it as realistically as possible. This isn't a video game, I'm not some dumb nerd to who sits on his computer all day playing video games.

Pfft. Just pass below the apron, since iracing considers it a valid racing surface.

I think the official line is they will only get involved if a person is protested for causing a wreck by going down and coming up off the apron. If no wreck occurs, then it's fair game.

The Logitech G25/27's need a USB adapter mod to connect the pedals and the shifter separate from the wheel. Not sure about the G29, and as far as I know the gear from Fanatec and Thrustmaster are all USB.

It's been absolute ages since I've touched the sim, but I think Live For Speed had an autocross/gymkana mode.

Yep, it does:

I had to lock my view to the horizon in Dirt Rally, it was the only way I could drive non-pavement tracks without getting nauseous.

Yep. One of my favorite memories was making a three-wide pass (in the middle) down the front straight of an oval to pick up third place in an Indycar race. This wasn't racing the AI, that you know will hold their predictable lines. I had to trust them, and I assume they had to trust me, that nobody would do anything to screw up and put us all into the wall. Those sort of moments is what makes iRacing fun.

But on the other side of the coin, you've got players that will do all sorts of intentionally or unintentionally stupid things to ruin your race, and it seems to happen more often than you'd like.

It's not a permanent no, but very much "not during launch but we'll see what happens for future updates."

I have a feeling there will be a big push for VR.

The original dirt rally didn’t have VR on release, didn’t get patched in until last year IIRC. Maybe if enough people keep asking for it, they’ll add it eventually.

It depended on the track for me. If it was something mostly flat like Germany or Monte Carlo the VR wasn't too bad, but then I loaded up Wales and within a minute my inner ear started to revolt.

Elgato Stream Deck is cool! If someone would like a cheaper alternative, they do an iOS/Android app as well that is $25 a year.
Look into Stream Puppy. You have to run a companion app on the computer, but it works well.

Skip the p1 and get the WRC. Much better button layout, and a quick release that doesn’t involve a screw.

Pedalchat: I have the CSL elites with the load cell brake, and I’m extremely indifferent to them. They’re an upgrade to basically any of the entry level pedal sets, but the design of the LC pedal means that registered pedal pressure varies depending on precisely where you press on the pedal. Which is REAL DUMB AND BAD for obvious reasons.

Skip the CSLs and get the V3s.
As long as you're keeping your foot in roughly the same position on brakes, you should rarely run into any variation to the pressure registered.
