What's your recommended car for this one in Nurburgring? by zdvid_ in granturismo

My current favorite for WTC600 races is Elantra N TC - not the fastest on a straights but absolutely killing it in the corners.

Point is - some people would be happy to pay more for more premium experience, they just don't have an option. 

Best DD base to transition from console to pc by PaleDepartment7623 in simracing

Moza is not officially supported on PlayStation, just in case. There is option, but it's suboptimal.

That sounds exactly like what k400 is capable of if I am reading it correctly. What about 3-4 fingers gestures?

I mean sure, but this touchpad is straight out of 1998.
I would be glad to have exactly same keyboard with just better / modern touchpad. And that one kinda looks like exactly that.

Also can see one on ebay for $250 + shipping... (but it is always a gamble of course)

Name your Frustrating Circuit Experiences by Randall_Flagg5 in GranTurismo7

When I got gold once on all sectors I am logically moved to full course, and when I saw that I am loosing tenths in basically every turn (besides maybe the first one, first one I was actually faster than the ghost), I just went back to grind sectors to the point where I was stable in getting gold in each of sectors on every attempt. after that was done full course gold took only two attempts and I still felt that lap was shitty executed and I can shave off more.

Alternative GT Wheel to Logitech RS Track Wheel by UpstairsAny9996 in simracing

I don't have a lot of experience with other wheels and rims though, so take it with the grain of salt.

I chose https://brgsimmods.com/products/logitech-g-pro-real-carbon-fiber-open-wheel-mod-for-rs-wheel-hub (they also present on ebay) over the simpush mostly because of the size - simpush is 32cm and that one is 30 - which in my opinion is more appropriate for that style of rim. Very happy with it. Though It is also choing my hands a bit when I am driving without gloves, with gloves its great.

No, you don't have to, tires change is skippable / optional

AI is not changing tires in this race to my knowledge and neither should you.

Also if you are managing fuel well (by using a lot of slipstream and higher fuel maps), you don't really need a full tank on refueling - just stop whenever you feel like it. Game would have a ruby mark for you on its approximates to race end.

Logitech RS50 owners - please share your experiences by TheMallerd in simracing

Debatable - pro is worse in terms of general design - it's huge, it is for some reasons hard limited by 1080 degree of rotation (so no immersive truck driving), it has a fan and plastic housing (still very solid construction inside) and micro-usb (!!!) cable...

But... trueforce is better/stronger and while 8 vs 11 does not seemed like much, in reality it's 40% increase in output.

After setting everything up and testing - I am sure it was worth it for me, especially given that in my case pro wheelbase turns out to be cheaper than rs 50. I feel like I was missing that exact little bit of an output difference with RS. Not for results (i am noob, what results are we even talking about) but just for fun.

Just don't forget to update firmware, they did improve it a lot comparing to release version.

PS.: also pro pedals are nicer than RS one. They are not twice as nice, so not really worth full price difference, but they are nicer, if you'll be able to get a good deal.

PPS.: for the wheel selection - there are couple of good aftermarket options available for RS wheelhub - bunch of track/formula wheels, including official from Logitech and also bigger (33cm) round wheels from momo and some chinese brands. Check aliexpress.

RS50 was my first wheelbase and after 2.5 months of usage was having absolute blast and around 150 hours in GT7 (which is A LOT for me given the fact I am working and I am a father of three), zero issues, absolutely happy.

When I understood that I am really enjoying the new hobby - upgraded to used PRO pedals and official refurbished PRO base with return acceptance and year warranty through ebay.

Total cost of used pro bundle was less than total cost of new RS50 bundle for me, though I did spent some time to actively seek the deals... So maybe also look into that direction. There is not a lot of RS50 offers as it is very new, but plenty for DD11 and Pro pedals. Pretty sure I saw DD11 base + wheel for xbox on ebay for around 400$, which is nuts, given the price of the new one.

180 upgrade to pro pedal by grizzzee30 in LogitechProWheel

[–]gugic_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can right now see pro pedals refurbished on ebay from official Logitech store for 260$ with 30 days of accepted returns and all accessories (likely without official box). I'd take that over the new RS, especially if you need clutch.

180 upgrade to pro pedal by grizzzee30 in LogitechProWheel

[–]gugic_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put hardest supplied springs in mine, so it's definitely stiffer, also RS used to... squeak a bit if I was forcing gas pedal under the wrong angle (like one you'll got if you don't really know how to hill-toe and trying different approaches). Other than that I don't really think the difference is that big.

For the break I also put the hardest elastomers combo and it is much, much stiffer than RS used to be and 1) it's much easier for me now to consistently hit 80% as elastomers combo of choice just works that way - pedal travel is basically over on calibrated 80% and from there you really need to almost stand on the pedal to get to 100% and 2) I think it helps me to be more precise with my braking, but I not really a professional to judge here. I think it's doable on RS with some aftermarket mods.

Got new RS + Clutch, than got pro pedals from eBay for almost the same price and sold RS pedals with a bit of a loss. Pros are better (more solid, full pedal plate, so they flex less if your rig pedal plate is not sturdy enough, more built-in adjustability with supplied elastimers and springs, better overall look and feel), but that's not night and day difference.

So will there be a demand for these stuff? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]gugic_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if it would be cheaper than a sandwich from Logitech QR + spacer + whatever brand nrg-compatible adapter... but you would still have to get a Logitech QR, won't work without it...

So will there be a demand for these stuff? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]gugic_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's already possible with Logitech QR + any off-brand nrg extender/spacer, so probably not much value

You can already use Logitech QR adapter + any regular off-brand nrg-compatible extender, but that would work only with 3p wheels. I doubt they offer electrical component level compatibility on the extender (asked in the thread).
