…Now I feel like I need a cockpit contraption

Pedals, wheel, monitor are all wrong

I used to play euro truck sim 2 with a sim wheel that came with pedals but the issue was I had a “gaming 🤓” desk and it had this metal bar underneath which made it impossible to attach the wheel to. I could maybe attach it to about an inch or less but once the motor vibrated hard enough it would detach itself fairly quickly. I downloaded a car mod which disabled the speed limit so I was doing like 300km per hour and then I crashed and like my wheel flew off and it was really funny

i had the same problem, i cant center the wheel on the desk but it works off center. not ideal but it works.

I'm still recovering from a fractured elbow so I had to turn the strength waaaaayyy down

Total crack. Modded assetto Corsa with a wheel and a VR rig.. just put a fan in front when you're in an open top and it is real

AC is still so good. I have AMS2, DR2 and BeamNG as well. FH5 is unplayable with a wheel I discovered

I think someone posted a while ago about starting a hexbear informal sim racing challenge that I was gonna take part in but I didn't have time to do it then :'(

That’s what actually inspired me to get the wheel

Love my wheel. Dirt 2 is so much damn fun with that thing.

Dirt 2 or dirt rally 2? DR2 is so hard lol

nerd true but sometimes cruising around in BeamNG can be a chill time

I want one so I can play BeamNG.drive with it.

Beamng works ok with a gamepad but the wheel is better
