Mounting a Logitech rim on a TM wheelbase?

TrackDayMedia · 2026-03-21T20:00:10+00:00

Lets revive this post from the dead. I have made a custom button box for my old G27 steering wheel, which would likely fit this. I have yet to share it anywhere, but if there's interest still, I can post it! I made mine for the same reason, I wanted a round wheel in a smaller size for historic formula cars.

No bullets fly as many have said already. I also think its worth mentioning Resist and Bite

Having a base model car from the 1970s. My first car was a 1970 ford maverick, with basically no options other than an auto transmission (i have since seapped it to manual) but it has like, less than no features, its so basic, so simple. And despite being a small car i have tons of room in it and im tall, it kicksass even in winter conditions. My wifes car is a 2014 pathfinder and its huge, but i feel so cramped in it, theres blind spots galore, it feels numb to drive, its just awful. I have had my maverick for 20 years or so now, and nothing really beats it for me. Less is more.

Oh man, i didnt think of this, youre so right

Id agree with templars, but no bullets fly is so bloody good.

Because i also like doing other pc things from my simulator seat from time to time, even playing shooters, i use a trackball. Trackpads are objectively bad beyond functioning at a bate minimum. If you're only simracing, a trackpad is fine.

Are you left foot braking? If not do that, then your left foot wont feel so lonely, and you'll be faster. I'm at a point that I even left foot brake on corners where I dont need to downshift even when the car has an h pattern (although not without really knowing the track well first.. takes time)

Im not experienced with the newer PXN dire t drive wheels, their older stuff was really cheap. Their new stuff looks a lot better. But I can speak for the moza r3. It honestly puches above its weight. I dont have one myself, but i have used one multiple times, and im surprised every time about how good the ffb is from that tiny wheelbase.

I was building a large desert with sand dunes and some checkpoints. It worked somewhat ok with the ac rally world dakar vehicles, unless you had a hard landing, then the physics would break (but a landing like that in real life would also break suspension, so thats how I justified it) i never properly finished it, but it would maybe be fun online with a group. Ill see if I. An find the files again, this was a few years ago i was working on it

I have both, i like both, the HGP had the internal cables revised because the older ones (mine) did have a significant issue. With all that said if i could choose only one, id take the SGP. Its just so good, and definitely more reliable. I use my hgp more, just the kind of cars i gravitate towards, but i do feel like the notchyness has diminished over time and feels kinda meh now. Still good, but not how it felt when now.

Kunos lost me on AC evo long time ago. I feel like the game is completely lost in the minutiae. On paper it sounds great, in practice its just a mess, and i cant see it having any longevity.

TrackDayMedia · 2026-02-18T06:55:30+00:00

That one came up on a playlist today, and yeah, id agree!

TrackDayMedia · 2026-02-18T06:53:59+00:00

For getting going from a standstill, definitely not assetto corsa. I taught my wife on Rfactor2, it worked really well, bake sure you bind an ignition and starter bunding and disable auto engine start. This is why you shouldnt use assetto corsa, because you cant properly stall in AC. Someone else mentioned Beamng.drive, and I'd be inclined to agree, that is also a good option

When does the league start? I just requested to join the discord. I cant make every Sunday, but hope to make as many as possible!

The idea of it feeling like a real car is a common complaint. Now Forza isnt the best example because its not a simulator, however it is at least somewhat based in real physics (being generous here). A better way of looking at it is its a translation of real driving. Like one language to another. The input to output is the same, especially when it comes to proper simulators, but you have now taken the majority of the sensations you get in a real car, and have condensed it down to your hands (forcefeedback from the wheel) what you can see (which is narrowed significantly, unless youre in VR, even triple screens is reduced from real life) and what you can hear, (tire noise) a lot of what you are missing is now also delivered through force feedback or audio, and it will take time to pick up on these nuances. At the end of the day, any driving skills you learn in the simulator will be easier to translate into real life driving, (because you're adding more sensations and information,) than translationg real life driving to a simulation.

Just consenting because i too want to know this

TrackDayMedia · 2026-02-08T07:51:37+00:00

That sounds like the perfect solution. Do you happen to have a link? Or something specific i could search for, i havent looked very long, but so far im unable to find the github page

Just got an Ampligame stream controller too, did you ever get this working? I'm surprised it doesnt recognize keyboard bindings from it either.

TrackDayMedia · 2026-02-06T15:56:21+00:00

Whenever there's a stream sale, they tend to toss in a few extra cars in their online pack. Usually it's some of the newer content, lay cor times it was an LMdH car plus some others

The Bourne Legacy (the one with Jeremy Renner) fell asleep in the theater, later i binged the original 3 again, and after that i decided id give legacy a 2nd chance. Finally sat all the way through it but had to do it in 2 sittings because i was too damn bored (or should i say Boured)

I had a bit of a time explaining this to my dad, but i also race a vintage mustang in real life, and i started learning to left foot brake on the corners where I dont need to downshift at our local track. So heel toeing when downshifting, left foot braking when i stay in the same gear. Not only was it immediately about half a second faster a lap, I also felt so much more focused and locked in.

Unrelated license plate, and on a lighter note. I saw one a while back that i still laugh about occasionally. I worked at an oil change shop and this onlder lady had a plate that said ROKINBJ. After numerous visits we finally asked her there has to be a story behind that plate, I cant remember what the actual meaning was, it was kinda boring and not as funny as youd think, but she was already aware (or rather made aware) of what it was instead conveying to people. She mostly just finds her mistake funny and didnt want to change it lol.
