Okay guys, this is my 3rd thread - so i will try not to post anymore pleas for help!lol
basically, i have an xbox and love f1 2011 - i use a mad catz wireless wheel with open wheeler racing seat. the graphics are great but i read many people like the rfactor and say it's a better "simulator". the le mans 10 hour race and the mods are making me wanna get the rfactor.
i currently run a laptop as opposed to a pc. it has windows 7 and the necessary spec for the rfactor (Toshiba satellite pro).
What i'm hoping to do is:
buy one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-Wirele..._2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1313158253&sr=1-2 to allow my mad catz wireless wheel to work on my laptop.(£19)
Buy the rfactor on ebay for about £15.
Buy a latop to television screen connector for about £5-10. Total cost being £44.
1. Firstly, can anyone see any problems with these ideas of mine?
2. is there a version of rfactor which i should avoid or are they all the same?
3. is it independent people making mods for free download or is it the producers of the rfactor?
I notice that the graphics on rfactor (even on highest resolution) aren't nearly as good as the xbox but the possibilities are greater e.g. replays, vehicles and so on.
Any thoughts? basically i don't want to spend money if things won't work - ive spent a lot recently and trying not to be wasteful.
thanks for any final assistance.
