Question Which wheel and pedals should I buy for F1 25 online?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to replace my Thrustmaster T300 so I can start playing F1 25. I want to try out Ranked matches. From what I've read, the Fanatec CSL DD has fewer bits compared to other brands... The https://www.fanatec.com/eu/en/p/sim-racing-bundles/r2r_cs_rw_f1_csl_epv2_eu/clubsport-racing-wheel-f1-csl-elite-v2-ready2race-bundle-eu bundle is a bit pricey, so I’m looking for something more affordable

Does anyone have the Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel? I really like this one, and a friend is selling it to me for less than the official price.

I’m also drawn to Simagic—even Moza—because of the variety of steering wheels.

The Thrustmaster T818 with the Ferrari SF1000 steering wheel is very appealing, but I’m not sure how much it’s worth it.

Question Is upgrading from a Logitech G923 to an RS50 worth it for a complete beginner? (€696 deal, PS5 + PC)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new to sim racing and recently bought a Logitech G923 for €230, along with a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0.

After spending some time with it, I've realized that I'm not really interested in using an H-pattern shifter or a clutch. I'd rather focus on improving my driving skills and getting into more serious racing.

My plan is to progress through these games:

  • Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) – My starting point, where I'm currently learning the basics.

  • Automobilista 2 (PC) – Planning to move on to this, especially with the Zero to Apex mod.

  • iRacing (PC) – My eventual goal once I've gained more experience.

I can still return my G923 for a full refund (€230), and I've found what seems like a pretty good deal on Logitech's website:

Potential new setup:

  • Logitech RS50 System (PS5/PC, 8 Nm Direct Drive): €568.65

  • Logitech RS Pedals (75 kg Load Cell): €127.49

  • Total: €696.14

After returning my G923, the actual additional cost would be €466.14.

My main questions are:

  1. Is this upgrade worth it for a complete beginner? Would I actually benefit from Direct Drive and Load Cell pedals at my current skill level, or should I stick with the G923 for a while?

  2. Is €696 a good deal for this combination? Are there better alternatives around this price that work with both PS5 and PC? PlayStation compatibility is a must.

  3. What do you think of the RS50 specifically? Is 8 Nm enough for long-term use, including eventually getting into iRacing?

  4. Are the RS Pedals good enough? Would you recommend them over other options in this price range?

  5. Is this a setup I could comfortably keep for several years, or would I likely want to upgrade again relatively soon?

I'll be using everything with my Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0, rather than a full cockpit.

I'm not expecting better equipment to magically make me a better driver, but if I'm going to invest time into learning sim racing, I'd rather start with something that offers good feedback, consistency, and room to improve.

Since I can still return the G923, this feels like a good opportunity to make the switch without losing money on my initial purchase.

Would you make the upgrade in my situation, or keep the G923 and save the money?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Question Simjack UT clutch pedal stopped registering (pedals are just over a month old)

1 Upvotes

It seems the issue is with the plug (not sure the name), since plugging the pedal into the other slots on the control box still doesnt seem to do anything, while it works vice verse. Important to note, even when unplugged, or even when I plug in a different pedal, the software says it idles sitting at 15% (no idea why, I never recalibrated it after it stopped working). BUT, when I pull the clutch cable from the control box slightly out at just the right position, it will drop back to normal. Does anyone know what could have happened? Is it just the connector for the cable being loose/dying out? I hear they're not well put together from factory, but I haven't seen anything exactly like my situation happen.

Any help is appreciated

I have the pxn vd10+gt one and they seem to work perfectly fine in the pxn app and LMU/other games but for some reason it wont detect theleft/right steering axis in f125 (26 season pack). It also detects everything else like the buttons, does anyone know a fix?

Question Is this normal? Logitech G Pro wheel shaking at high speeds in GT7

0 Upvotes

When driving hypercars in GT7, my wheel sometimes starts shaking violently on straights at high speeds (usually around 400 km/h+). It gets so bad that I can barely hold it. As soon as I brake and slow down, the shaking stops.

The weird thing is that it’s inconsistent. Sometimes it happens at 370 km/h, while other times I can go over 460 km/h without any issues.

I’ve attached a video showing what happens. Has anyone experienced this before?

i COULD muscle it out but this for drifting or off-roading in beamNG is crazy work.

Edit : I found the springs, it was on Simagic under “P2000 Maintenance kit”. Thanks everyone!!

Rigs Recommendations for sim cockpit with large range of quick adjustability?

0 Upvotes

Currently have a Logitech Playseat set up but now looking for something with a large range of quick adjustability so that my kid can play also since they started getting into racing games.

My kid is about 45 inches, and it would be preferable if I could change between their seating/pedal/wheel position easily without having to use Alan wrenches every time.

80/40 Extrusion rigs or tubular profile is fine, don't really care.

Is there any thing like this that exists?

I upgraded my rig a few months ago, and last week I sent my buddy my old one. We finally had an open weekend to play together and my base no longer connects to my PC. So instead of playing I'm running down the endless rabbit hole of troubleshooting.

If you guys are running good today, enjoy it lol.

Im upgrading from my Logitech desk wheel set up and managed to get a simucube wheelbase for 400 on Facebook marketplace.

Any recommendations on the rest of the set up?
The actual simucube pedals are out of reach for me budget wise haha

Was hoping to spend less than 1300 for a good cockpit, pedal , and wheel set.

Discussion been in an absolutely massive slump recently, how do i get back into the groove and start winning and podiuming again? (also im on controller)

Post image
0 Upvotes

as the title says been on a bit of a low streak recently, in a game like LMU in particular ive been spinning and crashing quite a bit recently and its been messing with my mentality. I've never thought of myself as the fastest driver but now i'm starting to think maybe i'm not even an average level driver anymore because i've started making stupid mistakes and losing the rear in corners id usually blitz through without a second thought, my braking has become sloppy and my trails have become too sharp, i just feel like im losing a level of finesse i used to exert easily.

In F1 26 ive been struggling to get used to the new energy regulations even after months and ive fallen to bottom string in my league when i was one of the prime picks for the 25 season due to several high qualifications and a particularly outstanding P4 at canada, everything culminated in a pretty early crash at baku in my ferrari yesterday and pretty much everybody is agreeing the gt3 champion i used to be is dead.

im watching my career crumble infront of me and everytime i try harder to be faster i just end up crashing sooner, am i doing something fundamentally wrong to make me so much slower than everyone else?

Discussion Recommendations for oval wheel / sequential shifter

I'm primarily a GT3 enjoyer who is catching the itch to do some oval racing again and potentially dabble in rally. It's been many years since I've owned an oval rim and a sequential shifter, so I'm curious what the recommendations might be currently. I'm a PC only player with a 70mm QR ready to go.

News Race Crew Ai warning about trying to leave

2 Upvotes

I signed up for RaceCrewAI about a year ago, tried it for a month, then used the official cancellation button on their site. They even asked why I was leaving, and I answered the survey. I then deleted the program.
For the entire year since, they have continued billing me every month — and double-billing me for the same charge. The charges show up as QUICKTREND U LDA COIMBRA. I can no longer log into the account. The “forgot password” option does not work. It appears I’m locked out.
I’ve sent multiple emails to their support address and gotten no response. Their own FAQ says that going through cancellation is required and that you should keep confirmation. I used the cancel button and still got charged for a year with no confirmation and no way back into the account.
I’m posting this so other people can see what happened and so the company has a public record of it. If anyone else has had continued or double charges after canceling RaceCrewAI / QuickTrend, I’d like to hear about it.

Question Can I put a larger aftermarket/third-party rim on the r5 pro bundle wheel? I see that there's only four screws rather than the typical six screws that hold together the rim, plate, etc so I was curious how I'd be able to properly swap the rim out.

Question Logitech G29 - broken bearing housing

Post image
1 Upvotes

I bought a used Logitech G29, and after using it for a while, I noticed that the steering wheel was wobbling. I decided to open it up to tighten the screws, but when I took it apart, I discovered that the plastic bearing housing was cracked in several places. The plastic screw mounting posts were also broken.

Fixing the original plastic part seems quite difficult, so I’m considering replacing it with an aluminum bearing housing.

Has anyone tried those aluminum replacement parts? Any recommendations or experiences about those?

Question SRP GT-R and playseat trophy fit

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I currently have a playseat trophy rig with p500s. I’m looking to upgrade to the SRP GTR pedals, but was wondering about the fit on the playseat rig.

I can’t find an exact answer, but will I have to drill extra holes to get it to fit nice? I’ve read that drilling holes is required, or alternatively the pedal plate will hang off the back (not an issue for me).

I guess I’m just looking to know whether they will fit out the box or i’ll have to do some extra work.
