  • @axelangel007 - Nice setup. Magkano po pamasahe? :)
  • @baluga
    nabuhay ka lou,pamasahe mura lang para saiyo 50 dolyares u.s mwhehehehe
  • @MrBungle

    Nice setup, especially the G2.

    I switched to console and currently my setup is a PS5 with Thrustmaster T300 TS GT, T3PA pedals and TH8A shifter; playing Gran Turismo 7 and if na umay then Snowrunner.
  • If anyone is using a Thrustmaster T3PA, I'd suggest swapping the springs. The best thing is that this mod is free.

    I get easier modulation on the accelerator, the brake pedal uses the soft spring paired up with the conical mod that comes with the pedals so the soft spring will do.

    Stock spring setup:
    Hard - Brake
    Medium - Clutch
    Soft - Accelerator

    Mod:
    Hard - Clutch
    Medium - Accelerator
    Soft - Brake

    Here's a reference video on how to open up and change the springs i found at youtube: <click here for link>

    Cheers!

  • for T3PA brake mod, just make a tsinelas mod. thats the cheapest you can buy. Other than that, buy a TLCM or Fanatec loadcell.
  • @elman

    Yes that would work too, fast installation and cheap.
  • F1 22 reveal in a few hours. :]

  • Hello masters,

    OK parin po ba ang thrustmaster t300rs gt as a first wheel, planning on doing some sim driving not sim racing,hehe, will mostly play eurotruck, forza horizon, etc. Balak ko sana nung una eh yung fanatec gt dd pro kaso sobrang laki ng patong at difference nung nagiisang retailer dito sa pinas,
  • @Ronsatuzuke

    Yes, that my first wheel and still using it now. Mostly Snowrunner nilalaro ko ngayon, just check if fully supported ang model ng wheel per game you want to play. :)
  • ^^ thanks sir, planning on getting t300rs as my first wheel and will upgrade to fanatec in the future pag may budget,

    nababasa ko din kasi sa reviews na t300rs gt is still better kesa t248 na bagong release ni thrustmaster
  • @Ronsatuzuke

    Nice, thats a sound plan.
  • Ano ang mga racing games na may VR support?

    Ang alam ko yung Forza Horizon parang wala.

    Sa mga nakasubok, kumusta experience?
  • I just bought my first wheel Logitech G29 dahil sa sale. I've been wanting to try sim racing ever since. Tsaka sakto meron ako VR so na curious ako mag sim racing haha.

    Any suggestion sa sulit na wheel stand? 4k-6k budget.
  • Ano ang mga racing games na may VR support?


    Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7 but both are Arcade Game only in console.

    AC and ACC, Raceroom
  • Balak ko sana nung una eh yung fanatec gt dd pro kaso sobrang laki ng patong at difference nung nagiisang retailer dito sa pinas,


    If its casual driving, T300 or less is fine. masyado na mahal ang Fanatec or any DD for non-competitive driving.
  • @Lemonscate

    Any suggestion sa sulit na wheel stand? 4k-6k budget.


    Shiftzone sa Sh**ee, works OK.
  • Kinda related to sim racing but I'm more excited to play the upcoming F1 Manager game more than F1 2022. :D

  • ^ Reminds me of the Grand Prix Manager games developed by Microprose I used to play. GPM 2 was quite fun.

    On another note, I read that Codemasters will be incorporating VR in F1 2022.
  • ^ Hahaha, I remember that game. Never got hooked as I was into RTS games back then.

    Nice, I hope they bring it to the PSVR2 platform.

  • hello sirs,

    I was able to purchase a fanatec csl elite bundle (preowned) from Apexx Racing,hehe,
    first time to try simracing/driving, baka po pwede niyo mashare mga in-game settings niyo for ETS2, City Car Driving, BeamNG, Forza Horizon and Asseto Corsa.

    salamat mga master
  • Pa Share mga bro!

    My wannabe GT7 Pro set up :D

  • Parang ayos yung bagong Logitech direct drive pro wheel at yung load cell pro pedals nila. Based on the reviews, halos plug-and-play din which is nice.

    Since may stronger local market presence yung logitech dito mas likely na magiging widely available dito kumpara Fanatec at Thrustmaster.
  • up!

    kamusta ang progress nyo sa sim racing?
  • Anyone here have any experience ordering from Fanatec? Planning to get the GT DD Pro. Wala naman problems ordering with a PH credit card then having it delivered to a US address?
