(sorry off topic a bit) Talking about DIY: If I get an el-cheapo Ikea table and mount both the wheels and gear same height, will it be difficult to drive?

As compared to those who have budget playing on a cockpit.

If I got bullet I will bite. But I don't have both bullet and budget lol

Don't mind me asking a noob question.

How many of you do not plan to buy a wheel and stick to DS3 for GT5?

I'm just weighing the option of splashing some cash on a wheel  blush.gif

Me.

Reason : I use DS3 more pro than wheel whistling.gif

i've never ventured into steering wheel before therefore i can't comment much.

but from what i've seen usually the gear position is positioned slightly lower than your steering wheel. same what you see in real car. i would say your hand will senang lenguh if your gear position is in the same level of your steering wheel? i dun know maybe others will comment on this.

you can get steering wheel for RM300++ but i dun know what the quality is like.

it sounds great in theory..but in practice it's not THAT amazing..

you can probably look sideways a little bit...but too much and you'll be looking at your own room tongue.gif

i guess you have never tried head tracking before.

Let me give an example - when you driving in real life, when you take a corner , do keep your head straight or do you tilt your head abit to see where you are going.

Head tracking in sim racing usually give you a little bit of advantage of seeing the apex of a corner.. since the view we get from is based whether the car is left or right hand drive.

This option give a lil' bit realism to the game but if you guys use to the current setup, it doesnt do much

i dont have space for a short table,so place the gear just next to my wheel.
it works fine,but i dont generally leave my hands holding the gear.

besides, most of the time i just use the paddle shifters,anyway..honestly the only reason i use the H shifter is to add more challenge to the race since so far i've never misclutched using the paddle shifters,but have numerous times screwed up my clutch with the H shifter :/ (eh wait..is the clutch even usable with the paddle shifters?i forgot doh.gif )

problem is in the videos i've seen,i see alot of this:


maybe you've seen other videos or tried it yourself?

the player turns left, but the whole head turns left rclxub.gif
meaning they twist their head to the left,instead of leaning to the left.

player problem?concept problem?

no idea til i touch it myself.

but from watching these videos...the head tracking is more like a novelty than game enhancing.

I never tried head tracking before, but i did tried triple screen racing setup. I have few friends in MSR using this thing, they reported no such problem. the head tracking can be adjusted lah. if you take a left corner, tak kan you wanna turn your head left 90 degrees rclxub.gif rclxub.gif I'm playing lots of sim racing on PC online, this stuff does gave the user a little advantage against other racer - but if against AI I dont know lah LOL

For best result, kena selalu do adjustment, just like when playing MOVE
