Racing Simulators

I'm not sure if there's a Gamestop store where you're at. But, there's two of the Logitech Driving Force GT at the one I went to. Gamestop also offer other driving wheels. The driving wheels they offer came from somewhere. My guess will be the Far East. They're bound to be available elsewhere with a different brand name.

Gamestop driving wheels for the PS3:

I wish there were driving wheels this cheap for the pc. The closest was my Logitech NASCAR and I bought that for $50.

My daughter has the old GT Force for her PS2. She still plays GT4 with it.

Damn those wheels go for cheap. Well, there's always the 700 peso CD-R King wheels, but those things are NOT at all acceptable as racing wheels. Learned this the hard way.

ang mahal nga naman ng logitech G25..

mura yung mga wheels posted by sir jun ah.. sayang pang PS3 lang.. tsk tsk..

*hominid, wala bang LFS sa *******s? I got the rFactor, Race 07 and RBR there.

got 1"30' + using the BMW F1 on the same track (toban special reverse) haha finally got the hang of the F1 car..

[siacojin]

One of the better ones I have tried is an oldie...

Need for Speed Porsche...

This, in my opinion, is the best NFS game. Hirap lang patakbuhin sa XP

Ok ba yung MOMO racing wheel?

Gusto ko rin ng racing wheel kaso mas interested pa ako ngayon sa joystick para sa FSX. San ba meron mabibilhan puro wala yung natanungan ko?

Not sure. License key to play online kasi habol dun. Un full installer libre naman sa site.

Sarap nga ng car na ito. Can do 120kmh on corners.

Pero malayo pa track time ko. 1min 40sec+ pa ata.

want to try LFS as well...

[JJCarEnthusiast]

ang hirap talaga pag walang steering wheel

[JJCarEnthusiast]

RBR is so hard!!

[JJCarEnthusiast]

logitech driving force pro, 98usd sa walmart pero late model na sya. baka old stock yun.
it is the older version of driving force wheels, pretty identical to driving force GT except for the red dial and hardware design. pero same 900deg turn.

it is tagged for ps2 only pero actually windows compatible naman sya with the right drivers.

ang DFGT naman 99usd sa amazon.. hmmmm..

[backb0ard]

RBR is so hard!!

ok talaga yang rbr, nakakakaba at nakakaduling kasi talagang naka fixate yung mata mo sa screen, kasi onting mali lang kapag nasa mga 140 kmph ka, wala na. colin mcrae dirt is for wussies

[hominid]

sa LFS?

Pede tau magkaroon ng Tsikot LSF server, lol! Libre lang lahat.

[hominid]

kasi onting mali lang kapag nasa mga 140 kmph ka, wala na.

Ganun talaga any racing sim games. Pang perfectionist, lol!

[JJCarEnthusiast]

^tama ka hehe.. nag iba ang pananaw ko sa racing pagka laro ng sim. racing. hahaha ang hirap pala. although it's more difficult in RBR than in rFactor kasi siguro unpredictable ang handling mo sa rally because of uneven road.

ganda ng controllers na yan... wala ata ako budget para nyan. hehe...

I just tried pro settings, no assists... on nfs shift joystick. ang hirap kahit easy mode.

Naghahanap din ako ng replacement wheel kasi ang panget ng gamit ko. Medyo mahirap din mag decide.

Clutch - parang feeling ko kung mag-aaral kang mag drive saka lang magagamit un clutch. Ano racing car pa ba naun ang me manual clutch? Baka naman wala na. Remeber we are trying to simulate real race cars and not learning to drive(well at least ako), coz its still a game and its still very different.

Only avail sa G25/G27 avail ito.

H-shifter(G25/27) - tingin ko maganda talaga ito mas mabilis/instant mag shift from top to say 2nd/3rd gear vs sequential. But then again how bout current race cars naka ganito pa ba? Parang wala na.

900 deg rotation (G25/G27, at Driving Force Pro)- again, ang sarap nito, pero same din ilang racing cars na lang naka ganito? Ewan ko kung meron local un sa Genius. Hindi pa ako napapadpad sa SM Mega.

Availability:

G25/G27 - look around mga computer stores like Villman makakatiyempo nito.

Driving Force Pro - eto mahirap maghanap locally wala talaga akong naririnig na meron.

Genius - try sa SM Mega un Genius Concept Store.

[hominid]

Ngayun kung un mga item dyan sa last post (clutch pedal/h-shfiter/900 rotation) ay di na ganun ka important sayo lalo na kung mga current race cars wala na ganyan, pede na ang Logitech MOMO.

P3.7k yan sa PC Express.

May equivalent rin yan sa Genius. Half the price lang dun nga sa SM Mega.

[JJCarEnthusiast]

cars with 240deg of steering wheel rotation? may ganun na ba? baka naman yung mga crappy-converted na JDM cars hehe j/k lng :peace:

I'm not sure but I think some race cars have sequential shifting (no clutch) but engage the clutch when downshifting and skipping gears. I've also read that you still have to engage the clutch when shifting to first gear and reverse on some sequential shifters, then you can upshift/downshift sequentially.

I'm not sure how it works but that's what I see from the video I posted . let's wait for comments from peeps with racing mechanics experience, I might be wrong.

here's another thread talking about sequential shifters:
