Show me your steering wheel setups (GT5)

[MK4CRAIG]

So i'm thinking of buying a wheel but how have you guys got yours setup?

And will I enjoy it more than I do with a pad?

Glad you posted this up! I was wanting to know the same thing myself.

I have a Logitech G25 and built a wooden race seat/frame affair. I will take some pics when I get back home in the next couple of days. Its still unfinished, just needs painting and a few minor adjustments, buts its pretty solid and a perfect driving posistion

I'm waiting till I get paid and then going the whole hog for a Logitech G27.

Was on a modified G25.. then bought a G27, and now waiting on a Fanatec GT3 RS to arrive too.

Logitech Driving Force GT, Black & Decker workmate, folding garden chair - a long way from what I'd actually like but it nearly works. I need a better wheel stand but the chair can stay for now.

Just what all the pros use

I've just bought one of these from Ikea...

Decent size, pretty sturdy and only a tenner! Bargain of the century!

It's really a computer desk (so has a void down the back for cables) but fits the DFP I have perfectly fine, just need to wean myself off the DS3 and onto the wheel - it's a bit of a step since I've only ever played racing games seriously with a gamepad (be that GT on the PS/PS2/PSP/PS3) or FM2/3 on the 360! Takes some getting used to the wheel, despite having had my grown ups driving licence for the past 12 years!!

Vision racer with a g25 in a very messy room. Fabric used for the seat very cheap almost like felt, a bit creaky sometimes other than that its quite good.

Yeah, I find it pretty low but no one else seems to be having a problem. It's kind of like driving an S2000...

I use a Logitech Driving Force GT, as it's the only wheel which allows you to access the in car menu for tweaking the setup mid-race. It's attached to a GameRacer Elite chair, which is hight adjustable, although I have it in the lowest "single seater" setting.

1080p TV up in the games room, but I sometimes take the PS3 downstairs to play it on my 3D TV in the living room, which is pretty cool

Oh and the cat finds the seats as comfy as I do, so sometimes there's a short fight over who gets to use it....
