![]() I had tried various pedal/wheel sets, read: 'toys', even the expensive ones out there (logitech, thrustmaster), but they feel like crap, and nothing like real vehicle controls feel like IRL.and that might also be exaserpated by the fact of having 50+ years of real driving experience, and getting used to small nuances like the difference between recirculating ball/rack&pinion steering, power boosted brakes versus not.and then before the advent of ABS, TC and other 'driving aids'.Īnyhoo.I got to thinking, the only real way to recreate the 'feel' accurately & easily, was to use the same mechanisms, and add the required input electronics to that. What you were looking at!! Quite spectacular actually!!ĭid this over a decade ago when I was a regular online player (LFS, rFactor).but then the NBN came along and ping times rendered the gameplay to be more frustrating than fun interestingly back then, before I built the sim-seat, my choice of input was an xbox controller, just like Jacques Villeneuve.and I'm so glad he mentioned the arm-pump/tense muscles in this YT clip, as that used to plague me as well by the time you'd done 3 or 4 laps of Nurburgring Nordschleife, the arms were done =)Īs he says, it gets really intense when you've got all vehicle controls in your hands, doing the work of your feet at the same time (set the gearbox to dct/seq so clutch becomes unnecessary), and you really cannot look left/right/behind, use indicators, or anything else you'd like to do, because your hands were all busy controlling the car.

No use HERE, but am shortly re-setting up all my Flight-Sim hardware, as it was intended!! I have ALL the relevant hardware My Saitek gear, (Flight Yoke for steering, & maybe pedals etc., (initially complex to set up), for pseudo proper steering etc. I don't have actual Driving hardware, but was wondering if using Temporarily boxed up, is all my 'Saitek' Flight Sim hardware. I'm not normally into Games as such, but simulators are good! So just for myself on myīirthday on Sunday,I downloaded 'BeamNG.drive' just for a laugh!! Works great, on my high-end laptop.Īnyway, my biggest pet hate is using Keyboard Keys, and even a Logitech W710 Gaming pad that I have, which is too crude!
