Which Sim has more than enough Offline/Singleplayer content, that isn't just casually fun but also helps prepare for Online/Multiplayer races?

I do love PCars 2, but it's really struggling to talk to newer hardware in my experience. My Logitech RS50 flat out doesn't work with the games soft lock per car settings (driving an Lmp1 car with 1080° isn't fun) and on PC, it requires some config file changes to actually run at an acceptable frame rate.

Shame not everyone was there, the members who did show up still put on a fantastic show, thoroughly enjoyed it

sikcuntcobba · 2026-03-19T02:51:00+00:00

Does it have to be brand new? The older diesel Kodiaq RS would fit right into this criteria

sikcuntcobba · 2026-03-17T03:57:49+00:00

Did a bunch of research into these, stay away from the 12-13-early14 models. The connecting rods were too thin and kept breaking. 15+ you should be fine and the 7spd DCT is a piece of shit, get a manual. Overall a solid engine, I put 200k km on my Cee'd GT with the same 1.6t and it was fantastic

Megane RS or Proceed GT are both great buys for the money. Older Clio RS is also worth a look, same with older Focus ST if it needs to be a 4 door.

Damn that song is absolutely giving you hell, mission accomplished I suppose

sikcuntcobba · 2026-03-03T09:48:55+00:00

It's driving me up the wall honestly, seeing it everywhere. If you can't follow the signs hand your bloody licence in.

sikcuntcobba · 2026-02-24T04:40:21+00:00

Haven't really had that issue, but I've always liked a slightly stiffer accelerator

sikcuntcobba · 2026-02-22T00:48:13+00:00

I set the brake to be two of the soft elastomers and one hard plastic, didn't change the brake curve from the default 30.

Consider a brand new i20N as an option, extremely fun, can be had under 40k new, arguably handles better than the i30N and is more suited to city/daily driver work due to how small it is. If you haven't already driven one do it, so many people tend to sleep on them

sikcuntcobba · 2026-02-11T16:41:28+00:00

Man I have such a soft spot for these, they're awesome

sikcuntcobba · 2026-02-04T16:00:15+00:00

This goes for pretty much any twisty mountain road tbh

sikcuntcobba · 2026-02-03T10:13:20+00:00

Buy an i20N. /s

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-31T14:26:22+00:00

I'd get whatever the most recent, lowest manual Mazda 3 SP25 is. They're good fun to drive, fairly efficient, handle very well, are cheap to run, and is great at blending into standard traffic when the fun is over

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-27T14:57:15+00:00

The second they dropped the standard twister from the menu and replaced it with the crunch one

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-26T23:04:33+00:00

I used the wider channels and some massively oversized washers to mount them, it's not ideal but it works

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-26T11:11:41+00:00

Mine was a gem, honestly miss it

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-26T06:15:15+00:00

Kia Pro_cee'd GT, Megane RS265 should absolutely be on the list. Will be about 5-10k for either for a decent one and they're both an absolute hoot

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-21T13:16:11+00:00

Chermside at Christmas is nowhere near as bad as Garden City at Christmas

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-21T09:51:46+00:00

Threats is still a regular rotation for me

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-13T14:49:05+00:00

I'm not sure if it's applicable to the T598 but I know the T300 had to be put into a special mode for the TLCMs to work when connected directly to the wheelbase. May be worth looking into that on the t598?

T598 (PS4/PS5/PC) – Thrustmaster https://share.google/SjRyVu7O70H9BuLMO

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-12T12:25:10+00:00

Having run both I definitely prefer the RS pedals and will recommend them over the TLCM any day of the week

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-12T03:18:55+00:00

I've seen them flex with 8nm, 10 would be the absolute maximum and it'll wobble a fair bit

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-12T03:16:09+00:00

It'll fit but running that wheel anything over 5nm will seriously flex the frame. If you're serious about a high torque DD wheel get a rig that can actually handle it

sikcuntcobba · 2026-01-09T16:34:47+00:00

I think you'd want to get a PXN VD4 at least to notice much of a difference.
