I've always enjoyed racing games and have been going more into the sim side of things lately, and I think it's time to upgrade to a decent racing wheel. I have a POS one from playing too much Forza on the 360, but it was like $70 brand new and has garbage control accuracy let alone features like force feedback. I also built a new rig recently and picked up Dirt Rally, which is awesome. Unfortunately it's on a linux install and I can't get the wheel to work at all and ended up using an old 360 controller. As you can imagine it makes the game a bit tricky Is the starting point for a decent wheel $250-$300 right now? Searching for the products listed in the OP shows even the lower priced ones going for that much used. Is there a cheaper alternative even worth bothering with?

Thanks guys, the T150 seems to fit the bill. I already have a Windows install on a second HDD mercifully. I try to get games for the Linux side when given the chance but it's still very limited as you've pointed out. Aside from limited game availability the only issue I've had with it is the wheel support. I'll guess I'll switch over to windows and get the Dirt Rally install queued.

For those of you with a wheel and 2 pedal setup: do you left foot brake? If so, do you get shin pain from hovering over the pedal so much?

Thanks for the replies guys. I do the relax-on-the-straights thing already, and I also moved my pedals almost as far as possible away from me already. I'll see if the return spring is strong enough to let me rest on it, but other than that it sounds like I just need to toughen up.

What's a reputable place to get Assetto Corsa mods outside Steam? There are some tracks that aren't in the official Steam system but all the mod sites I'm finding look sketchy.

sum posted:Finally got my first actual wheel (G29) all plugged in and set up after only simming on a gamepad for months and uhhh first impressions are that I'm insanely slow and I feel like I'm learning how to drive again. It seems like every other time I hit a bump I'm in the wall and it's bizarre having to put in actual physical effort to keep my pretend car on the pretend road. Does anyone have any tips besides just keep racing until it feels natural? Do some practice laps. Lap slowwwwwww and try to nail the racing line, and gradually speed up each lap as you learn the limits of the car. You'll also need to recalibrate your feet to avoid locking up the brakes or spinning out while accelerating. Unless you turn on TC and ABS since it's a pretend car and you can't feel anything.

Is 25bux the discounted price for ACC? I've only put a dozen or so hours into the forest AC but it was pretty solid.

Is anyone playing Wreckfest with a wheel? I was crushing the AI with a controller, then plugged in the wheel and can barely get top 5 against novice AI. Still hilarious fun but kinda frustrating.

I lapped each Grand Prix course for 30-40 minutes in AC before watching each race this year and it made them much more interesting. I had to wade through some super lovely track mods for some of the less popular tracks but it was still with it.

In DR1 or DR2 is there a way to download the pace notes somehow? Preferably in a text format? I'm trying to talk a friend into being a live co-driver but making the pace notes ourselves takes foreeeever.

Anyone have a good source for AC tracks besides Race Department? I can usually find what I want but now always. I try to do a few laps at each GP circuit a few days before the race but this week the only version of Baku I can find is a pretty bad rFactor conversion.

Zaphod42 posted:Its hard to compare them really. They're pretty similar but each does certain things slightly better here and there. You're also gonna get pretty different responses from different people. I mostly use AC to do hot laps on grand prix tea dogs before watching the races so alot of those features are lost on me. If the interface is better in PC2 I'll get it just for that, the AC interface feels like it's from the 90s.

Mr. Powers posted:I'll measure my parked WRX I guess. Neither of my cars have telescope on the steering wheel so I can't really get it exactly right, but I can build in some fore/aft adjustment on the wheel shelf. If you do end up doing this can you post the dimensions? I ran into this awhile back and never did find the right specs.

Does anyone know a non-warez source for F1 cars for AC? The Ferrari pack included one from ~2017 but there's no way to tune it so its stuck with ridiculously tall gearing. On most tracks I never see the top two gears at all. I've found a couple of older cars on Race Department but nothing from the last ten years. I'm guessing there's licensing reasons for this but if you of a source lemme know.

Steen71 posted:HOWEVER, it also has fixed gear ratios! This is just how it is in modern F1. Yeah I found that out but it has quite reasonable gearing instead of 8th gear maxing at 255mph like the Ferrari one did. Immediately drop 3-4s on the track I was running without really improving otherwise. Now if I could just figure out how to activate DRS and the battery boost in AC... edit: Figured out DRS but I'm not sure if i'm using MGU-K correctly oXDemosthenesXo fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Aug 3, 2019 |

So the upcoming Gooncar series is running with free cars and tracks? Or did I misread something? I've been doing sporadic hot lap sessions in AC for the last year but some actual racin' sounds great if it's with y'all.

Also Rio is bumpy as all hell in the little Tatuus practicemobile. edit: Fujimi isn't working either, I might be installing them in the asset folders wrong or something oXDemosthenesXo fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Feb 23, 2020 |

GutBomb posted:It’s probably not high enough traffic to get on Microsoft’s radar. Finally got this working. I had to both move the alps.ini file to the Alps content folder, and then unzipped alps__stflow.zip to write over the previous set of files. Alps is as fun as I as remember, although in any car with aero downforce it's almost not fun since you can go flat out for most of the course.

Is tail of the dragon a default map in beam.ng? And the F40 for that matter. I've only played around with the vanilla stuff in that game and found the maps to be too small to really get lost in.
