Don’t make me think about how much I’ve spent on VR and accessories…
Totally. Worth. It.
Best COVID lock down ever. I would love another. Minus all the people dying.
But there isn’t a better experience in gaming than VR Assetto Corsa with mods.
Edit: With mods…and a wheel. And seat rumblers for your butt. And SimHub. And Custom Shaders Pack via Patreon. And oh lol are you still on a gear-driven Logitech or Thrustmaster lol so cute! You’ll want the new model with carbon fiber belts tensioned to aerospace specifications by Ferrari engineers. P.S. How are you set on actuators/degrees of freedom?
Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.
I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.
It might be “Simcade” or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.
My most recent console is a PS2 so I haven’t played a modern Gran Turismo, but the original Gran Turismo is probably what started my love for racing.
Sure the Gran Turismo games might not have realistic physics, but neither did project cars 2 and I had an insane amount of fun with that game.
I’m in this image and I don’t like it
Just like any hobby, you don’t need the latest and greatest to enjoy it. Look at music for example. The amount of incredible albums made on shitty gear likely matches that of artists with the best gear money can buy.
Just have fun and enjoy the process. A direct drive wheel won’t make you a better driver, but racecraft will. 🤙🤙🤙
It’s so insanely fun though isnt it. Especially in VR. Nordschliffe at night in the rain in a Xbow, radio blasting, it’s just sublime
You can get assetto corsa for that cheap?
Yes the first time I bought it for my kid it was basically free, and I think I got mine for like 10€
AC Competizione was on sale a few weeks ago for about 5$
I started on a Logitech Driving Force GT I bought second hand for $40 that I would clamp to my desk.
Now I’ve got a full rig with a direct drive wheel, load cell pedals, a shifter, a handbrake and a VR Headset. It’s definitely one of the most expensive things I’ve bought myself but totally worth it.
I feel that. Except with watches. Started off modding Invicta Pro Divers with the Seiko movements. Now, my watch collection is easily twice that meme.
Dang, that looks pretty slick.
If this is your setup: is there a cable plugged into just the ground of the bottom outlet?
I think that is an outlet/USB combo
Edit nope, that is just a grounding loop.
Honest take. I would pay 200€ for a good simulation if hooked even with dlcs. The picture actually shows what we do wrong. Pay a lot of money for parts but safe on software.
The racing game accessories companies probably pay racing sim game development companies billions of dollars a year.
