Slimpsy1647545505 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Picked up a Logitech Driving Force GT wheel today . . . specially designed for GT5. . . and I must say. . . it's incredibly fun. It also works for the PC which is awesome. I don't game much, but this might change that. Might pick up another for some LAN play. Anyone else into racing sims with a similar setup?

TURBOED Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I bought a Logitech G25 about a month ago to play rFactor on my computer. $300 wheel, I found a used one for just over $100. It's one of the most addicting things I've ever purchased. If you want to play seriously on your cpu, I would highly recommend rFactor.

However it was a toss up between the two. Now I'm thinking about getting a chair/wheel mount. Oh the money pit it will become. Thanks for the link! Looks hot!

Go here for more info: rFactorcentral.com This man is full of truth. I used to use my G25 and race in tournaments in rFactor. The Mid-Ohio track mod is dead-on realistic. Two other great sims are Live for Speed and GTR2. Here's a few sites I have bookmarked: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/index.cfm http://www.nasasimracing.com http://www.lfs.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Holy Shit, That NASA Sim racing site is awesome. real online tournaments and kinds of crazy shit... I really like the whole concept of 200-300 lap races, and having an authentic race experience. Too bad i don't have a setup, yet. Good find. Check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Playseats-Evolution-Gaming-Seat/dp/B000O00JE8 Edited April 16, 2009 by Steve R. added pricey chair link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 That nfactor site totally confuses the hell out of me. Crazy in depth. I need someone to give me a rundown on that. Looks fun though and the realism is incredible from what I've read/seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I play rFactor in the winter. Actually joined a couple of winter leagues with weekly race dates and had a blast. However now that spring is back and my schedule is crap everything has gone back to the office and likely won't be used for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I still play alot of gran turismo but just haven't found the money to blow on the wheel. A couple buddys of mine have the whole setup but it doesn't stop me from whipping their ass with a normal controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not G25, but it's a great inexpensive option. I think even new they're only $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
