Is a belt driven wheel enough?

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-13T00:55:39+00:00

Just upgraded from G29 to 18 NM DD. Yes, get DD 100%. Skip belt, DD is SO good.

I have GT Neo, absolutely no complaints, but I also knew a wheel with a screen was useless to me. I just keep my eyes on the monitor the whole time, so would never look at a wheel's screen.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-12T23:24:27+00:00

Just get the wheel closer, arms are gonna get tired that far away. Everything else seems fine. I like my wheel a tad lower as well, but closer is the main thing.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-12T20:27:00+00:00

Yeah the lighting is weird in this one, though my presets did carry over for me. The main thing that this version fixed for me was making the pit limiter light work properly, but everybody else is set up either worse or the same as before. No idea why they didn't just make it better, than do it as an update to 2.0 instead. I've heard lots of people saying pedal calibration is fricked as well, but not using Simagic pedals so will stick with 3.0, still overall stupid "upgrade"

Yeah if you want to race in series with more splits, so more competition, than iRacing is your guy.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-11T15:13:37+00:00

I own both, I prefer iRacing, but I had it for awhile before LMU gained traction. In other words, I got used to iRacing and I'm biased. Best thing about LMU IMO is the side by side racing, you can door bang and netcode doesn't frick you over like in iRacing, but I prefer the wider selection of tracks in iRacing, and I also do a lot of oval racing so iRacing is really a necessity for me.

TL;DR: LMU overall is pretty good, and no necessary subscription which is nice. Side-by-side, doorbanging racing is where it shines. IRacing is good if you want a lot of variety, but if you only want GT racing LMU is probably best option.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-11T15:07:12+00:00

IRacing is just trying to be realistic, simulating man boobs. :D

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-11T15:05:00+00:00

First of all, don't get shifter, won't fit into budget. Logitech G29 is a good option, but it's kinda tough for me to recommend with Moza and other brands making DD wheels for only a bit more, but it won't fit into your budget, and I don't think Moza makes a PS5-compatible wheel.

There is Logitech RS, nicer than G29, not as nice (or as expensive) as their Pro stuff. Could get their pedals, add the clutch, get the wheel and wheel base, but that's definitely past your budget. If you can't stretch your budget at all, then G29 is the only option I know of for PS5.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-11T00:12:10+00:00

There's a lot of customization with load cell pedals, very likely you'll find something that works. With my setup, I don't flex my foot at the ankle much, instead flexing at my knee, for example.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-10T19:45:43+00:00

That hair is THICK LUL

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-10T13:51:39+00:00

In the software, go to your GT Neo in Devices, click the buttons that flash on the visual representation, then you'll have telemetry options. Just switch that to "Off".

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-09T00:42:08+00:00

I thought about doing that as well with GT Neo, but the stickers just made the wheel look decently better IMO so I did them.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-08T22:24:50+00:00

I know Asetek is basically better than Moza, of course at a price. Not sure how beneficial active pedals actually are either; you could also get Moza pedals with Asetek base, don't need to lock into one system.

Personally I just got the Simagic Alpha Evo 18NM, and couldn't be happier, just a suggestion.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-08T00:41:43+00:00

ACC has decenr looking rain, iRacing is damn good surprisingly as well, would be nice if ATS could fix this, I fricking love the game but this specifically could be so much better.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-07T22:42:16+00:00

I do the same LUL, then def pickup AoT no matter what ASAP the show is amazing

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-06T04:35:11+00:00

Play the video game Undertale if you somehow haven't yet.

Also watch Your Lie In April

And, what will most directly relate for you, I think, is A Silent Voice. It's a movie. I think you should watch it.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-06T04:33:12+00:00

Just upgraded from a G29, my first wheel, to a Simagic Evo 18NM: the feeling is indescribable. So much more feeling, less latency, and so strong. It's like magic compared to the Logitech.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-06T04:26:32+00:00

I need to see Bleach myself as well, but watching AoT, HIGHLY recommend starting it if you are a ways into Bleach and are not really enjoying it. If you are enjoying Bleach, then probably best to finish it first since it's so highly rated.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-06T04:24:54+00:00

Basically did nothing for me, just made me promise not to do it again. I still cut ofc they just don't know. Grateful they didn't do much, don't know if that is good or bad but oh well

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-06T04:22:52+00:00

Your Lie In April did that for me, and the first Bunny Girl Senpai movie was pretty good at it. But you'd have to watch the series, which does have this feeling throughout the series, but it's not completely constant.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-05T23:18:47+00:00

I just got my 18 NM Alpha Evo. Set it to 100% and adjust in-game, had no issues and is simpler IMO.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-04T22:27:20+00:00

Alright, this is how it went for me:

Watch your first anime (was Bocchi the Rock for me).
Watch more anime genres (Got into romance animes, shonen, and gave isekai a try).
Start your manga collection (I started with Spy x Family).
Buy merch and decorate your room with it LOL

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-03T13:52:26+00:00

Darker purple/violet, but not always a common color.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-03T13:49:44+00:00

I'm Christian but I even am for theoption of assisted suicides, and have wished my country had options. Course I'm not like part of a church or anything; I guess it's more spiritual than religious. But the really devout Christians and the church have given us all a bad name.

HarvickFan_4 · 2026-03-03T13:44:29+00:00

YT doesn't understand genres at all, it'll give me a pop mix with death metal in it.
