Here you go, G25 is the daddy...wheel only no pedals or shifter, lacks buttons though....

A bit more but g27 is so worth it...still have mine S I can't bear to part with it lol

Then you start to think, for a few quid more lol

Just map some of the buttons on the wheel to accelerate and brake, I know a guy I used to race who used auto gears and used the buttons on the back of the wheel intended as gear shifters, or mapped other buttons to shift gear with auto clutch.
I did that for a while with a cheap 20 quid wheel on Raceroom (the one track early version) and surprisingly it worked fine. Much prefer my G27 setup but for those without the inclination to spend too much, it is actually better than a joypad.As for this week's combo, I've been travelling with work all week so no time from me yet. Hoping to have a blast tomorrow night but it will depend on other half's tiredness. Now, where did I put those sleeping pills?
As I said you can spend spend spend...

2K???? You could buy a banger for 1000quid and book 10 track days for that cost, and have more fun. :-)
2k is nothing once you get into motion rigs, you could easy spend 20k on a multi-axis full motion sim-rig. It's a lot to spend when sometimes you just want to drive around chilling out in Euro Truck Simulator lol548MB update being downloaded...................I wonder what that is?
Found the patch notes, spoilered to keep short below.
Project CARS – PC Patch 9.0 – Release Notes
Vehicles
• Aston Martin GTE - adjusted the AI suspension damper rates down to better handle curbs
• BMW 2002 SW - Adjusted default setup for better drivability. Adjusted optimum temperatures and heating to move the optimum running temp closer to 180F. Adjusted cockpit camera position.
• BMW 1M SW - Changed transmission to sequential, paddle shift to match the 3D model
• BMW 2002 Turbo - Speed adjustments for player and AI for better match in the Vintage racing class.
• Formula Renault 3.5 - Raised collision mesh and adjusted default setup for better curb behaviour. Adjusted various other setup items to make player drivability better. Upped tire temperature build-up to get the tires more in the optimum range to use more of the intended grip with the default tire pressures and setup.
• Ford Escort, Mercedes 300SEL - Balanced the speeds better against the new BMW Stance Works car for the same class. Slight improvements in available grip through moving them into better optimum heat/grip range. AI speeds changed to match.
• McLaren F1 GTR - Fixed an issue where parts of the car would clip through other parts when damaged.
Tracks
• Road America - New race line and corridor tweaking. The main goal was to keep the AI off the curbs so heavily, as with the massive alligator teeth here cause the stiffer car fits and lifting off the throttle.
• Silverstone Classic – Fixed an issue that caused the game to dramatically slow down and at times crash during pitting in a multiplayer race.
Tires
• Reworked some vintage tires to get a better average temperatures increase, resolve severe flat spotting, localized overheating and too-easy punctures which were being reported.
Audio
• Ford Falcon – Reworked the vehicle sounds to a closer match of the real car.
UDP
• UDP - fix for PC joypad and steering wheel buttons not registering.

Got to be happy with top PS4 I suppose. There's definitely a 56 in there if I string a lap together.

Off to watch the kids drown for a couple of hours, will have a crack again later unless there is someone online who wants a little session? There is definitely more in this, but not much more for me I don't think.

Clean lap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAFtM-kyqJw (uploading, wait for HD)
Slower in the 1st two sectors than my 54.8s lap, 0.5 faster in the last sector means a 1m54.0 lap so maybe a 53 is possible. I'll have another go tomorrow maybe.

Impressive. I'd have thrown the controller AND PC through the nearest window before getting near the 54s. I just don't have the patience for it. I think given the clear advantage that the steering wheel players have we should have a separate leaderboard for us lowly penniless minions that can only play with a controller pad. 07/02/16 | 13/02/16 | Azure Coast Stage 3 | BMW 1-Series M Coupe | |||
