in the market for a monitor as I want a racing gaming rig (far less complicated than the one below)…just with a wheel, pedals and monitor tho

*edit*

keywords for self — sparco seat , GT omega prime cockpit, thrustmaster TX-XW steering wheel/pedals

been flirting with getting one for years but never followed thru…finally got “serious” about it this week

it’s not gonna look anything like this even tho I’ve done enough research that I can now identify almost everything in that picture (item, brand, price, etc.)

none of the items I ordered are pictured but…

for the wheel/base/pedals I ordered the thrustmaster TS-XW

for the shifter I got the thrustmaster TH8A

I bought a cheap wheel stand for now—next level racing wheel stand lite (do not get it from amazon)

I don’t want to commit to a full rig yet until I can quickly test the wheel out to see if I like it…if I end up enjoying the experience then the next step will be to order the rig…

VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE 3.0 FULL ACCESSORIES - BLACK/BLACK

…I could get it now but it’d be a lot of trouble/extra money to set that shyt up just to find out I don’t like it…it’d be easier to return the wheel and the cheaper/smaller wheel stand if I have a change of heart

anyway…the thread that was posted in was about monitors so I didn’t want to keep talking about this shyt in that thread…curious if any of y’all fukk with racing wheels or even have a whole rig/setup

so the thrustmaster TS-XW is delayed/backordered and there’s no place else to get it at retail so I just gotta wait til they can ship it…ordered a starter kit wheel with no force feedback (thrustmaster ferrari 458 spider) to hold me down in the meantime :francis:

Can I play gran turismo on one of these ?

yeah as long as the wheel is specific to the PS ecosystem

I seen this posted but I don’t like the wheel design that much and I think fanatic is overcharging for this just off their name…

Damn i want this so bad lol



if GT7 receives raves reviews and I find myself enjoying these racing accessories then I’ll be looking at one of the following wheels—logitech G29/G923 or thrustmaster T248

I've been playing the fukk out of F1 so I've seriously considered getting a wheel and building a rig. Props for this thread.

cool…you don’t need a big, fancy rig off the bat…seems like the most important thing is to get a decent entry wheel that has force feedback (the lowest I seen are about $250–logitech G29 for PS or thrustmaster TMX for xbox) and an inexpensive but sturdy stand…some of these stands have accessories/add-ons that let you expand them into big rigs if you want to add a racing seat, TV stand, etc.

Get vr breh. I have a wheel, stand, and gaming chair

I have a quest that I don't use…had a PSVR and sold it last year on ebay…VR still isn’t for me yet…still mostly gimmicky imo…it’s fun in spurts…but just by design, it doesn’t provide me with a full gaming experience
