So Iracers What's Up?

John Martin · Jan 25, 2011

Wish I could join you guys but my computer sucks so I can't. I love the look of Iracing. The way you earn your way the the upper levels. The fact that idiots will soon find themselves banned. I race for fun and wins. Love Forza but the dirty racers just ruin the online part of it.

On wheels what who you guys recommend?

Anyone use a Thomas Super Wheel?

Personally i don´t like the license thing. I think the Rookie stuff is good but then all drivers are scattered and all the fastest drivers are not driving F1 cars and the slowest drivers do the skippy.
It´s more personal preference i think, if the car is harder then you just need more practice to keep it on track.

Need to know a budget for the wheel to narrow it down

I sure don't use that wheel, it's too expensive for my blood... lol...

I think Hampus is correct that it's all about preference with the cars, as some seem to have alot of interest and others not so much. I would have thought a few of them would have been packed full of racers and they aren't. Then you have the MX-5, and Skip Barber that are LOADED with people from rookies, to Pros. I also agree with him about practice, such as if you spend enough time with it you'll be able to eventually keep up with the faster guys. I do like how there are consequences for bad driving, however sometimes I wish they were more harsh and other times not at all. I guess you can't have everything...lol...

Are you sure your PC is not up to it? iRacing is really scaleable andf even my old rig a 2.1GHz Dual core with 2GB of RAM and an old 512mb video card could run it with the options adjusted. Now on my quad core and new graphics card I can turn up a lot more detail, lighting and crank up the resolution and iRacing looks like one of the best sims visually on the PC.

It's a rigged up laptop with a busted main display. Hooked up to a standard lcd monitor. Luckily for me Windows automatically mirrors the displays if it is hooked up on startup. Also being a laptop I am stuck with the integrated video so no video card for me

That thomassuperwheel seems like crap compared to similar price wheels available...
I mean... no forcefeedback??? For 650$?? Really???

I want something that returns to center without wobbling back and forth, and driving the car instead of me driving. My 360 wireless pisses me off. With the force feedback on I can't come off the corner to fast or the FF snaps the wheel out of my hands. In fact I ended up fighting the wheel for control the whole race. Also the TSW is built like a rock, and you can adjust the tension with springs. MIght just be the last wheel you will ever buy since it easily serviced if something should go out.
