Well, I started GT5 over but if anyone wants to race... Pelican170 on PSN if you ever see me on...

The wheel is great but without a proper racing chair it just doesnt live up to its potential. IMO a racing setup is a must.

The difference is minimal for me and I like the clutch/6sp feel.

I moved from left foot braking to right foot braking when I got the three pedal setup and the actual H pattern shifter seals the deal. I've got the Fanatec CSR and the clutch support is a little better in Forza than in GT 5 and I've been playing more of that lately.

I bought a cheap wooden furniture dolly and when I'm not using the chair, I put it on the dolly, roll it into the corner and it fits flush against a wall in the corner of my living room. It was pretty much unused space anyway.

I notice lately a lot of people are getting into the fully racing seat with the metal frame which enable you to mount the steering wheel and padels with the tv.

no i got my cockpit for like $289 best offer ( plus shipping) on ebay so i think it was about $360 to my door... im counting everything in the set up the TV and everything to make it like it is as you see. i bought the TV used from my brother for like $200 its just a 40" RCA plasma 1080p thats a few years old... it works fine for the set up as i didnt want to put a lot of money into a TV i would only use for the simulator.. i was going to fork out for a sound system or sound bar...but then i got the idea of the headphone and now i like that so much better anyway i got the DFGT back when it was $149. now you can get it for $99 or less

We are also going to release our own racing simulator cockpit. Here are some pictures so you can guys can take a look.

MC · 08-14-2012, 08:13 PM

does anyone have a extra silver chrome paint they want to trade me for something?

Zaggeron · 08-14-2012, 08:16 PM

^^ isn't a can of Chrome Silver spray paint around $3.00? Or are you referring to something different.

edit: Doh! I got the completely wrong notion. You mean in-game paint chips lol!
