PC Racing/Driving simulators?

I got the wheel last night at best buy. G25 for $179 so that i think is a good deal. Went home, and partitioned my gaming machine and did a fresh install of XP and the newest drivers. (i had some minor glitches SW wise with my last install) Setup was a piece of cake for the wheel and the drivers worked fine without tweaks. Signed up on iRacing (Mike Wood2 if you want to find me on it) and half an hour later I was all downloaded installed and updated.

Jumped into a Solstice and went to Lime Rock. Came into the first turn in 3rd gear and spun out and put it in the tires! hahahaah. This is not by any means the easiest thing to do. I sound like a ricer changing gears with the clutch! I played it for about 2 hours and had a blast! VERY hard to just jump in and drive like a pro. This car is hard to drive so far, either you turn in light and the ass end swings around, or you over steer into the dirt. I think I just suck at it to tell you the truth! lol

170FPS in the game with everythign maxed on 1920 res. VERY smooth.

I need to make a cockpit asap, my desk isnt sturdy enough at all, and the positions for all the components are horid.

I will be firmly planted in that drivers seat for a while in the winter months I can see it now!

Congrats on the wheel! You just need more practice and get the hang of it. The same basic driving principles apply.

Some old video I did with RFactor and GT5 :tongue :
