Guys, my Thrustmaster TX has finally given out after 7 years. I have TLCMs and 3 wheels. I race on PC and was on Xbox a lot when I first bought the wheel for but I bought a PS4 Pro, GT7 and a drivehub recently and have been playing that almost exclusively. Been a blast learning about different cars as an enthusiast.

I’m not sure what direction to go. I have this Thrustmaster stuff but if I go with a GT DD Pro and use a Xbox Wheel, I’d technically be able to use it on everything, right? My Current Gen console is a Series S, so really trying to consider the future as well as the present.

What things would you guys recommend?

I only been playing automatic in racing games since I got into the genre at 12 years ago after playing Forza Motor Sport 7 and Gran Turismo 7 (wow strange coincidence the platform exclusives were on their 7th installments on their systems, almost like a mirror match lol). First time I played manual it was strange my car wouldn't go faster than a certain speed and then in the next race I discovered you have to press a button each time you reached a max speed to be able to accelerate to further speeds per certain speed distances.

Now that I got more skilled in racing I am now gonna start experimenting with bells and whistles to improve my meta. So I gotta ask is there any reason why manual is ideal over automatic? IS there some ability that makes it worth having to press a button to switch gears to as you reach each range of speed so you can go further to the next speed tier? I know in Forza at least some of the top players have shown choosing manual in videos I seen. So I assume it has its pros despite having to get into the habit of manually pressing the button so you can go faster by switching gears?

Hello all. Been doing research for my rig and am currently looking at different wheelbases. To give you an idea, I plan to use it for primarily GT3/formula style racing on ACC and Iracing. My plan so far is a Simlab GT1 cockpit and heusinkveld sprint pedals (if you have recommendations for either, please put below, these are just choices so far) with seat, wheelbase and wheel undecided. I am currently focusing on a wheelbase and looking to keep it right at $650 and under so I’ve been looking at Fanatec CSL DD with boost (which seems to have quite a few issue based on previous) and Moza R9/R12 primarily. I know the R12 is basically brand new but given what I have gone over above, is there any wheelbase you would put over the R12 right now given value? Thank you for responses!

People of the sim racing community, I need some help regarding an upgrade to a triple monitor setup. I’m currently running a single 27 inch 144hz 1440p monitor, however I do want to upgrade to a new monitor setup and my current monitor is nowhere to be found on the internet anymore. Being limited by space, a 27 inch triple screen might fit, however, my main concern is the new resolution being too much for my GPU (an RTX 2060 from gigabyte) in case of running a 1440p monitor set. I’ve considered the following 2 alternatives:

1. 27 inch 1080p 144hz
2. 24 inch 1080p 144hz

My questions now are, is a triple 27 inch at 1080p noticeably different in terms of looks? And is overall the 24 inch set a better solution for my current setup, or would the size difference be too big?

I hope this gives enough info about my scenario and that someone can help me with making a choice.

Thanks in advance!
