Finally got my steering wheel set up the way I wanted. Been playing F1 2021 season and it is fun as hell. I started with F2 to get a feeling for the game. There’s tons and tons of games on sale at Steam.

I have F1 2021 and I really should get a steering wheel. Using an Xbox controller does no justice to the game. If anything it makes it harder!

Is so much fun with a wheel. Takes a bit of tweaking with sensitivity settings but the end result is satisfying.

I'm coming around to the idea that a driving sim rig would be really fun...

It’s fun. It can be a little frustrating but overall it is pretty good.

I say we all get Assetto Corsa and do a Canyon Run on 86/BRZs. Forza Horizon would suffice too.

Well so much for playing Shenmue 3. I made it less than an hour. The controls are awful, and no instructions you have to figure them out, and they can't be remapped. The game moves at a glacial scale, and the voices sound like they are done by one of those cartoon makers that reads the story like Captain Kirk on downers.

How this got good ratings I'll never understand. To be fair though most said you'll either love it or hate it, there is no inbetween. They were right.

That's OK. Two of my sons gave me a 3/4 size arcade game for Christmas I need to build (runs MAME I believe). I think I'll do that next.

i've got it as well, but could never figure out how to not crash into the wall. literally, the controls never worked right, so i got frustrated and gave up on it.

Like you couldn't get the wheel to turn the car?

Depends a little whether you have a fun group to run with, but quite fun, yes.

Speaking of... I also have AC...

oh geeze. Modern sims with a keyboard is worse than how I remember MS Flight Sim was in the DOS days (that'd be 1993 or 1994).
But... it definitely takes getting used to. And the more immobile your setup the better it is...

Speaking of sims... DCS World. Holy crap does it look gorgeous with the full vr support!
