I recently got a badass, Thrustmaster T300 GTE Edition with T3PA pedals, and TH8A shifter, with a GT Omega Stand.
I know how that sounds, but i don't care because it's so fucking cool!
Seriously, it's the first time i've spent so much money on a gaming peripheral (more expensive than any console), but after having it for a few days i cannot imagine ever playing a racing simulator like Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally, or Forza Motorsport without one.
It changes everything in simulators, all of a sudden, you go to the settings and do what you've never done, and turn off every assist possible and tweak sliders until it is as realistic as possible and then...
You're no longer playing a game, you are in a simulation, and you are not doing races, you are doing practice laps for an hour, and then, going back to the menu, going mechanic engineer on you car, tweaking stuff around and then testing out your new set up.
And i'm not one of these crazy car guys, i never was, i haven't played racing games in a real way in years, and i never got crazy about Gran Turismo or Forza.
But yeah, owning a wheel totally changes the way i view racing simulators...
So my questions are, do you have a racing wheel/rig?
Have you ever owned one?
How fucking cool is it?
And could you go back to playing these games with a controller?
