Community Question | Your Best Sim Racing Purchase

[Nevini]

DK1, CV1 and rift S

 

[Barrosini]

I think Fanatec CSP V3, upgrade from CSP V1!

I would say it`s my new wheel bought 2 years ago, BUT this vote must go to the good old Logitech g25. Back in 2008 it was a big deal and my definitive entry in more serious simracing. 10 years of using and still running (retired). I will never give it away, never sell, it has a big sentimental value for me

On the software side, hmmm Geoff Crammondds GP4 was my first "wheel-game" on PC. This game awakens my love to racing.

GT Legends which got me racing online. G27 wheel which made things feel more real.

 

[norbs]

Simhub

 

[Mr Deap]

Gran Turismo on the original Sony PlayStation. All the games afterward are pretty much more or less the same.

Playseat Challenge

 

[madhopz]

Hmmm................. a few

 

[JasonMADCow]

Cost-effectiveness. I always recommend a Buttckicker or generic. Not too expensive and a complete game changer (after playing with a wheel of course )

In 2018, going to a Logitch G29 wheel to a Thrustmaster TS-PC Racer with T3PA-PRO pedals set... definitely !
More precision, more silence, more constant forces, more informations in my hands, really the best evolution I done in every way.

 

[MirNet]

Probably building my own rig, satisfaction more than anything.

A second-hand Logitech Driving Force GT held together by dust and sellotape. That thing has squeezed into the cockpits of tin-tops, open-wheelers and prototypes on tracks all over the world. Its weak motor and lumpy cogs have given me a ridiculous amount of pleasure. Pound for pound, it is still the best low-budget FFB wheel ever made.

Best immersion purchase = 6 buttkickers!

VR. Best spent money I can recall.

 

[5-Card-Major]

A Virtual Reality headset. I'd always considered VR to be a bit of a fad like 3D was. Then I was living with a housemate who had a Rift and persuaded me to give it a go. Mind blown. The same day I spent a rather ridiculous amount of money on a Rift and the PC upgrades I needed to run it. It changed sim racing for me, and I could never go back to flat screens now.

I would really like to see what ACC, iRacing, and rFactor2 would look like........

 

[DrRob]

Software: ACC => Deinstalled all other sims for now. That should tell you how I feel about this.
Hardware: Sim-Labs P1-X => The basis for everything else hardware and should serve me well for years to come.

 

[DND]

It's difficult to say, but it would have to come down to the visceral impact and that would be the Fanatec gear.

Upgrade from Oculus Rift CV1 to 32:9 144hz widescreen.
Don't know what exactly happened but it gave me instant gains on pace.
Maybe it's the faster response time of the screen or the fact that i'm more conscious of my whole body when not in the virtual headset.
I will not say that it is ultimately better, because my experience says that you can learn some things better in the VR. On top of that it is a special experience.
