I was just googling what the wheel market looks like at the moment - I have an old logitec driving force GT and the force feedback in iRacing is really lacking, I have fiddled but I think its just age of the wheel plus a house move might not have helped it.100 Euros cheaper than when I bought mine.
Worth it if you're remotely interested in sim racing. Be warned that you'll be paying about £70 tax on top though with it coming from Germany via UPS - but even then, I'd still recommend it.

Like most mainstream Logitech wheels, the Driving Force GT had up to 2.5Nm of torque for force feedback. The Fanatec CSL DD is double that at 5Nm and can be upgraded to 8Nm with the beefier power supply.I was just googling what the wheel market looks like at the moment - I have an old logitec driving force GT and the force feedback in iRacing is really lacking, I have fiddled but I think its just age of the wheel plus a house move might not have helped it.
That's a good option though.
Not an expensive addition, if you really wanted it?I really want the CSL DD bundle but the lack of a clutch is so bloody annoying.
Ah - now you're asking. I assumed that it was the full kit with the load cell - purely because the text refers to you moving the standard brake across and clipping it into the clutch socket on the pedal base.I don’t think the load cell kit includes the whole pedal though does it? Just the load cell.
But yeah I specced it all up with the clutch and 8nm power supply after posting then chickened out because I should be spending that money on my real car 😂
Only got looking because the brothers in law suggested coming down for Le Mans next year for a watch party and to run a virtual one alongside it.
Still can't believe that that game is still in early access.It may be, it just gave me the impression it wasn’t a whole pedal before.
I like driving road cars and other sims like BeamNG which have a lot more shifter cars, so H-pattern is important to me, but I’d probably just reuse the G27 shifter as it’s not too massive and relatively quiet.
The load cell pedal is the pedal and loadcell ie. everything you need. Just plug it into the wheel base like you would the standard brake pedal.It may be, it just gave me the impression it wasn’t a whole pedal before.

There’s 4 of us so thinking half hour practice session each on the Friday then do 4 hour events with time set to 24x and 1 hour stints so everybody gets to do a whole day, and just do them as and when we feel like it. Have the complete 2019 61 car grid so will be doing that, did a test run last night and it was fantastic!
I'm guessing your PC is inside the cupboard too? Spare rear USB ports to power AC Infinity fans? They are good kit, I use the daisy chain function on them to run my biltong boxes (USB 3 pin plug).What's the best way to get power to external PC fans? I want to mount fans in the rear of the cupboard so I can exhaust the hot air, and was thinking of chopping some 140mm holes and sticking a couple of fans there, but running an extended 3 pin cable out the back of the case seems very primitive. Is there a cleaner way of doing this?

I should really upgrade my Rift S. The resolution is grim but the biggest downside for me is the terrible FOV, I find if I’m trying to flip a switch in a cockpit and it’s down by my side I have to physically push the headset on my head more down to be able to click it, because I can’t just look down with my eyes.Bloody amazed at how far VR has come. I bought an Oculus Rift (the original, not a Rift 2) and it was OK but was heavy, the resolution wasn't that great so the screendoor effect was offputting, the field of view was narrow and needing to have the camera towers set up was a pain.
I bought a Pico 4 this week and it's brilliant. I had to get a different "facial interface" for it as I didn't find the original too comfortable but now I've done that it's really comfortable. Field of view is excellent. I'm so impressed I've bought some prescription lens inserts for it and I'm really looking forward to doing some sim racing. Just as soon as I get bored of VR p**n. So, that'll probably never happen
1070 GTX is about to finally be replaced with a 3060Ti (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BQJLPVSP/?tag=cliospnet01-21) £302 ain't bad.
The 1070 GTX does me fine for what I play, but the Video Rendering is a tad slow, so this will help a little. Keeping the 1070 aside for a later build once I decide on my main build. My 10 Year old i7 4770k is getting towards retirement age

or a powered USB hub, to run the same fans?
The AMD variant is the 6750 XT, and £50 more. Fair few websites punting 3060Ti as the go to good budget card for Video Rendering.Not tempted by AMD? The 6700 XT is a nice step up in performance for nearly the same money - unless you’re into using ray tracing or want the DLSS features.
I've only recently come to terms with the fact that VR (and getting the most out of it) requires a lot of manual intervention.Bloody amazed at how far VR has come.

the extreme blurring I have at the edges and 'only clear when looking straight on' scenario, is still really evident.
It's like I've paid a chunk of money for a Glaucoma Simulator at the minute and clearly have a lot of reading and tweaking to do, in order to help improve the results.
X570 has 2 X M.2 slots both gen 4 4x. One on the CPU, one through the NorthbridgeI'll have to test my 990 Pro I got last week
£120 for a Gen4 2TB NVMe 7500MB/s capable I can't grumble at all. Gen 4 storage has dropped quite a bit recently with gen 5 arriving thick and fast. I might have to get a PCie card and whack a 4TB NVMe in there at some point... Or invest in the newest gen AMD CPU/Mobo and then I can have 2 gen4 slots 😂
Exactly that - yep.That last one is the Crucial P3 Plus is it not? I got one myself last week.
I’m still using a 970 Evo as my OS drive so it looks like I need to swap that out next!
