trade the g923 for a csl dd way better quality and feel for about 50 bucks more

[@RandomMomentsFr]

Yo ed, u bought a decent wheel but theres 3 categories and u picked the worst one, there gear driven which u got, and the loudest and weakest, then theres belt driven which is smooth, good force feed back which is how realistic the wheel feels during it being used, and its not loud and quiet, then theres direct drive whuch is the best, most realistic u can get but its also the most expensive, U got the g923 which is probably the best gear driven wheel, but if u want a casual game play then its good enough but if you want to advance to belt driven i recomend the thrustmaster t300 rs gt The g923 isnt good for f1 racing I would also recommend carx drifting game, assetto corsa no hesi, and beamng

for the pedals moving around on the carpet. On the bottom of the pedals there is a spiky edge. Right below the spiky edge there is a button. If you press that button the spiky edge comes out which helps to grip onto carpet.

[@MarkDavidBlack]

Until you get a proper cockpit here's what you can do for the pedals to keep them from moving around: Take a small piece of plywood (3/4" thick) mount the plywood to the back of the pedals, then take two short 2 x 4's and mount them to the bottom of the plywood (flush with the left and right side of the plywood). Make the 2 x 4 pieces long enough so that they will contact the wall. That way when you push the brake pedal the pedals won't move. That spiky strip on the bottom of the pedals isn't strong enough to hold the pedals in place.

[@shnaznet8938]

ive had these pedals for about 2 years now. and I did not know this lmao

[@zscept]

Sim racing is really fun! The logitech wheel you just bought isn't the best, and i'll explain why. In sim racing, there are different types of ways the wheel generates the "force feedback", or the pushback/vibration in the wheel. The logitech one is gear driven* (thank you for correcting me), meaning the force feedback is very weak, at about 2 nm and will not be powerful enough to provide the best experience. On the other hand, direct drive wheels can generate more force feedback, are more accurate, and are just all around better. Another advantage to direct drive over the logitech one is the ability to change the wheel rim, so you can use for example a f1 style wheel or a drift wheel depending on what you are playing. A budget friendly direct drive wheel would be the Moza r5 bundle, or the Fanatec CSL DD bundle (who was recently aquired by corsair), which provide 5 nm, which still isn't the best, but will make a world of difference. On the higher end, there are companies like Simucube, which offer wheel bases that are top of the line, that offer more detail and a better experience. Hope this helps if you decide to buy more gear!

[@TechSource]

[@r.chaves_2848]

Actually the logitech is worse than a belt driven wheel, it is a gear driven wheel, so there are some little plastic cogs connencting the motor to the wheel rather than a belt. Over time the plastic tends to get worn out and create some play and making the wheel very noisy and rattly.

[@zacharykirkham9481]

As a IRL racing and sim racing driver, I appreciate that you've chosen high-quality beginner parts, such as a wheel with force feedback. This makes the driving experience compared to cheaper alternatives.Thank God you didnt cheap out cause that would have been a fast way to leave the niche For your next upgrade, I recommend investing in a cockpit first. Consider options from reputable brands like: Next Level Racing, Playseat, GT Omega, Sim-Lab, Trak Racer, Rseat, Sparco, or SimXperience. Once you have a solid cockpit setup, upgrade to a direct drive wheel, which offers superior performance compared to the gear-driven Logitech G923. Some brands for direct drive wheels include: Asetek, Fanatec, Simucube, Thrustmaster, Simagic, Moza Racing, VRS, and AccuForce. Additionally, you'll need a compatible steering wheel i recommend: Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech, Simucube, Simagic, Moza Racing, Cube Controls, Ascher Racing,GSI. For pedals, I suggest brands like Fanatec, Heusinkveld, Thrustmaster, Simucube, Asetek, Simagic, Moza Racing, and HPP Simulation. This might be expensive however here's is my setup if you would like to copy: • Cockpit: Trak Racer TR160 MK4 • Wheel Base: Asetek Invicta • Steering Wheels: GSI Hyper P1 and GT-MAX32 • Pedals: Heusinkveld Ultimate • Shifter and Handbrake: Heusinkveld

[@Jojo_4G]

Is your setup compatible to ps5 or xbox?

[@legend.Is.a.qt.WasTaken]

@@Jojo_4G the wheel base no the wheel i think you can use the fanatec attachment for playstation and xbox the wheels im not really sure or u can use the wheel base from moza for xbox alone there is a way not a easy way to use the moza for playstation as well it might not be reliable for the shifter you can get one from moza or fanatec you can do your research im not sure if my shifter and handbrake will work on playstation/xbox

[@ethan_p21]

the g923 is a very basic entry level sim racing wheel and pedals along with the shifter. If you are just starting out, the logitech g923 is a great choice to buy if you don't really know a lot about sim racing and want to have fun while learning and eventually upgrade your setup to brands like moza or fanatec or even better sim racig companies. But they get more expensive (obviously) so getting that logitech was a smart choice if you just want to have a good wheel or experience sim racing and eventually upgrade.

[@KoFFeeFPS]

I use mine for drifting and after a ton of tuning the wheel and I game settings, I now have a 1:1 IRL Car feel (proper feel to how my car actually feels) and I have an aftermarket wheel and adapter with modded pedals and shifter! Love it for my first Sim setup. Just need a cockpit and to figure out what I want my main monitor to be

[@Restract]

next time you upgrade your sim setup chose MOZA setup, 18:11 the E-brake behind your back from moza but you probably don't need it, but while you upgade everything some day you need to upgrade a shifter, MOZA have magnetic one, wheel base chose betwen MOZA R9 or R12 that's mid price wheel base, pedals not that important but for the experience you can take Moza SR-P, you most likely don't need high end pedals.

[@vjollila96]

wait you said pedals aren't important to upgrade? those might be the best first upgrades you can have after getting a rig if some upgrade makes you faster good pedals are it

[@Restract]

@@vjollila96I mean pedal upgrade

[@M_773]

Pedals are one of if not the most important upgrade, a load cell braking kit will improve your lap times like crazy if you're skilled

[@th3fall0f3den]

Hey Ed! For the next step, definitely a cockpit, but maybe one that does not have monitor mounts so you can go for a VR setup instead. VR takes up less space, and is usually cheaper than a triple monitor setup. You can use the extra funds to put into getting a better quality cockpit. I recommend the BigScreen Beyond VR headset. Its tiny and high quality.

[@DaPickle08]

I will say in the settings of acc you can change the angle for max turing radius, the gt cars irl use less angle, which should help with the turning and downshifting at the same time. And he brake being stiff, logitech puts a solid piece of rubber inside of the brake pedal cylinder, which you can remove with a bit of disassembly

[@yzx]

The sollid piece of rubber is only in the older g29 and g920. They newer g923 has a better brake pedal.

[@rideeverydayfotos952]

The next step would be to learn how to play. LOL. I tried SIM driving last year it was alot of fun, i just didnt have enough time to dedicate to it. But seeing your setup and how much you created it for motivates me.

[@warlock257]

"I don't think racing is for me" .... plans next 5 upgrades 😂 my path was - Logitech wheel on desk - Logitech wheel on wheel stand (can bolt down the pedals) - Direct drive wheel on stand - direct drive wheel in cockpit.

what wheel base are you using?

[@THECARGUY-cpg]

If you are ever looking for a wheel I bought one off of Amazon for $150. It was an Xbox wheel. Personally it’s better than the others and than it comes with the wheel and paddles.

Also you need to fix that racing line,follow th arrows on track and when you hit yellow release accelerator and downshift and when you hit red you brake and then when you hit yellow again go slight throttle and start up shifting as soon as your in green go full throttle Keep practicing and you'll get there

[@kotap9929]

With a cockpit, the pedals will not get away from your feet. Also the force needed to brake, in the driving position of a cockpit, is far less and feels a lot more natural. Maybe the settings on the wheel will help to turn it less (more turning angle) so the padds never leave your fingers while making turns.

I'd seriously consider watching a LOT of reviews. There will be so many recommendations in this thread it could be very confusing. Actually trying a rig setup would be a great way. Several setups. Personally, I have a Next Level Racing GT Elite aluminium profile rig matched to a Logitech G Pro wheel. Boosted Media, SimRacing 604, OC Racing, all good sites, but it won't be long before you can sort out who is giving reliable info. EDIT: I have a Sony VR2 virtual reality headset, and it is amazing, but Ed has a PC, so not compatible. Lots of reviews online for PC-based VR headsets.

[@monx1983]

Try not to rely on racing line & braking overlay and learn to see the markers on the tracks (aka braking points) like the 50m marker on left side at 28:09. If you brake on that point, its a little too late to make it on the apex of that corner. Experiment on the braking points, if you didn't make it on your current lap, try to brake a little bit earlier on the next lap. Shift only when braking and accelerating, you really dont need to shift when turning. Downshift when you start to brake at the braking points, accelerate after you hit the apex of the corner and start to shift-up when you rev to limit rpm. Learn the track without the lane markers turned on. Learn the available settings you can do with your logitech wheel & pedals like how sensitive is the wheel when turning, brake pressure, brake bias, etc. When you feel there's a limitation with your current setup, then upgrade. Stick with what you have for now and learn from it. Don't splurge on more expensive gear until you feel limited by your current setup. Your stick shift would probably best work if you do rally racing (different kind of racing experience though).

[@jake..A]

Buy a 80/20 aluminium sim cockpit with a seat, simucube 2 pro wheelbase, any wheel you like (gsi, ascher racing, grid, etc), simucube active pedals, either 55" triple 4k monitor with high refresh rate, triple LG UltraGear 45" 45GS95QE-B 1440p monitors or a single Samsung 57" G95NC Odyssey Neo G9 240Hz monitor, buy monitor mounts that is separate and does not mount to the cockpit. Motion system if you want like a D-BOX GEN 5 4250I & a Pc with 7800x3d & rtx 4090. There is your highest end racing sim setup possible.

I have a simracing rig and applied for the setupwars. :) If you sweat while driving, install a fan blowing at you. There are good looking tubes like in a real racecar. What you should know about simracing is - its a seperate hobby you need to invest time and do a lot of practice sessions before being competetive. Its not just about laptimes. Its about being consistent doing clean laps without crashing while other are putting you under pressure. And if its a teamrace (endurance race were you swap driver), the pressure is then even higher, because you dont want to mess up the race. Theres a lot to learn about physics how the car behaves and what happens based on your inputs.

For the cable management you can make the wires go under the table and stick them up with the cable manegment thingies to stop it from dangling on ur legs

you’ve outdone yourself with this one, incredible!

[@jerzilla]

to improve at racing sims i think you need to brake in a straight line, then execute the turn, and put on gas out of the turn. Don't brake going into a turn, brake in a straight line. I haven't played racing sims in years but gran turismo on playstation worked this way, and it's also how you should drive a real car.

Hey man, for that h pattern shifter in asseto corsa, you need to go into the settings and change it over to H pattern. You might even have to manually row through the gears under keybinds for it, but I think as far as I can remember you should just be able to change it over to H-pattern manual shifting

Logitech wheels are a perfect beginner wheels it’s what I recommend people starting with. Then I’d move to the moza r5 and after that is up to you and how much you want to spend

[@daxchu]

If you want a good budget wheel I'd recommend the moza r5 or the fanatec grand turismo bundle + you should watch yhe youtuber OC Racing he makes pretty good videos on simracing products,you can learn about sim racing and the best wheels that suits you

The fact that I have the same gear for my racing sim, it makes me happy to see Ed choosing the same gear!!

[@caparzo5693]

bro i swear 21:43 is the best feeling ever, going home building everything you bought is just *chef's kiss*

[@buddy5088]

Change the wheel angle to 900. Helps with the shifting issues you talked about in this video.

logitech sim racing gears are nice for beginning in sim racing , bug you have to do smalls fix to make is greater ( take out the "rubber" in the brake pedal and add some elastics to the shifting gear to make it more real ) there is lots of tutorial on yt for this

[@jamestala2920]

Just wanted to add, a good sim to start off in if you want to play on console like PS5 specifically, would be Gran Turismo 7 you will easily be able to use your shifter in it. However since you’re on PC, regular Assetto Corsa will be best fit for your set up👍.

logitech is solid in terms of longevity. I've had my g27 for 12 years before I sold it to a friend. however it's more of an entry range rather than hardcore, and that's because the worm gears connected to the motor and steering cannot deliver a stronger sense of resistance like real cars. also, you gotta learn the rules of racing. you went out of the pit straight onto the racing line. that's not how you're supposed to do it, especially when the intention is to SIMULATE the actual thing

[@Tylox7397]

For Monitors the most immersive is triple monitor but mot ultrawides just normal sise’d with a sim rig

[@TheSeanyJC]

3, 32inch monitors is the way to go when it comes to triple screen sim set up for height and width it's what u tend to see most pro sim racers using

[@kenuknot2229]

Theres literally something about your videos that i just love so much just brings me laughter and happiness ❤

[@dreadtrain2846]

After my PC build is done, this is my next endeavor. Keep these up, at least until I finish my own set-up 😁

[@markthomas5328]

Try playing with all of the settings in the game for the wheel and brakes, you'll be able to get the turning radius in the wheel pretty close to the tension you like when your turning.
