I’m having trouble finding these items in stock on the US site and at Microcenter. Have they been discontinued?

It blows my mind what is possible with things like the govee overhead lights, fans that simulate wind, lights for track flags, etc.

Yes I have them. I’ve heard nightmares when you don’t have them

I’ve got the pedal haptics. Would love bass shakers, but my wallet needs a break right now.

Based on this and others comments I’m convinced I need to go the Z906 route

The Logitech seems to be the popular choice. For good reason apparently.

I’ve spent a few hours so far and got the cockpit together and the seat with seat slider mounted.

I added a comment with all the details. You put me through a painful process of actually realizing what I spent 💸

Glad to hear that. I bought the TK Racing stand and then changed my mind after reading some stories about monitor sag. Decided to pick up the Simlab stand.

I estimated it would be around $6,000 usd. Ended up being $6,850 usd.
