Browsing the sim forums are filled with people throwing hate that the core software is 29 dollars on sale and they refuse to buy it, then post with pride the 1500 dollars they paid for a SINGLE PEDAL!
“it’s not physical therefore it has no value”
I’d take my $100 quest 2 over any number of the nicest monitors. VR took the immersion of Sim driving to a level I can’t come back from.
VR is definitely better than widescreen wrap-around monitors for gaming immersion. I’ve tried both and they are both great but VR is better. I noticed that I could drive significantly better in Assetto Corsa the first time I tried in VR mode, and I could actually get close to winning for a change. But it was a PITA to get working
Don’t make me think about how much I’ve spent on VR and accessories…
Totally. Worth. It.
Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.
I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.
It might be “Simcade” or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.
Fuck GT haters. That game has been the gold standard of a love letter to spinning metal since ps1.
Why do people hate on Grand Turismo ? (I know nothing of these kinds of games)
People who play the more involved and serious sim racing games look down on it because (IMO) its the most accessible for casual gamers.

My most recent console is a PS2 so I haven’t played a modern Gran Turismo, but the original Gran Turismo is probably what started my love for racing.
Sure the Gran Turismo games might not have realistic physics, but neither did project cars 2 and I had an insane amount of fun with that game.
Best COVID lock down ever. I would love another. Minus all the people dying.
But there isn’t a better experience in gaming than VR Assetto Corsa with mods.
Edit: With mods…and a wheel. And seat rumblers for your butt. And SimHub. And Custom Shaders Pack via Patreon. And oh lol are you still on a gear-driven Logitech or Thrustmaster lol so cute! You’ll want the new model with carbon fiber belts tensioned to aerospace specifications by Ferrari engineers. P.S. How are you set on actuators/degrees of freedom?
I’m in this image and I don’t like it
y’all are getting in debt to play games ?
The last idiot hasn’t been born yet.
Just like any hobby, you don’t need the latest and greatest to enjoy it. Look at music for example. The amount of incredible albums made on shitty gear likely matches that of artists with the best gear money can buy.
Just have fun and enjoy the process. A direct drive wheel won’t make you a better driver, but racecraft will. 🤙🤙🤙
I want a gyroscopic flight sim setup; the kind that when I do a barrel roll in the sim, I actually get spun around.
It’s so weird seeing the billionaire class out and about just being the worst people imaginable because if I had that kind of money you would never see me again.
If I had billionaire money, I’d be a full on rapist. Make a Wish, Children’s hospitals, battered women support groups, etc. Hold up… How’s the word meaning “gives to charity” spelled? 🤔
Donor?
It’s so insanely fun though isnt it. Especially in VR. Nordschliffe at night in the rain in a Xbow, radio blasting, it’s just sublime
Fanatec McLaren wheel? This is basically a budget setup.

You can get assetto corsa for that cheap?
AC Competizione was on sale a few weeks ago for about 5$
Yes the first time I bought it for my kid it was basically free, and I think I got mine for like 10€
I started on a Logitech Driving Force GT I bought second hand for $40 that I would clamp to my desk.
Now I’ve got a full rig with a direct drive wheel, load cell pedals, a shifter, a handbrake and a VR Headset. It’s definitely one of the most expensive things I’ve bought myself but totally worth it.
I feel that. Except with watches. Started off modding Invicta Pro Divers with the Seiko movements. Now, my watch collection is easily twice that meme.
The racing game accessories companies probably pay racing sim game development companies billions of dollars a year.
