Hi guys

I'm a racing enthusiast and want to get started on a racing sim. I'm an absolute noob on this. For a beginner, what would be a good setup to have?

I heard about rfactor but can I know how is this different from a Ps4 or xbox racing games?

Can the pedals and steering wheel like G27 be used on a ps4 racing sim game?

Can members here point me to a trusted vendor where I can get such supplies from?

Many thanks and sorry for the noob questions

Thanks so much for your prompt reply, Shirley Andy ...

As a beginner, I'll be looking at some basic setup with some degree of realism.

For a start, a proper cockpit with seat (or any recommendation that can simulate this setup too? Hehe) and as you say, the logitech dfgt and single monitor first. What about PC? Any minimum requirements and what game disc should I be looking at from a beginners perspective?

I've just joined the group and will look see, get an idea and move from there

Thanks for the guidance again, cheers

Thanks again Shirley Andy for the heads up.

Nice setup you have...

I've more or less have an idea of what I need. Since I'm starting up, I don't want to be too ambitious with PC sims yet. I've decided to get a PS3 and Gt6 and probably, an F1 sim. I've read good things about GT6 from a realism perspective. I'm a point and shoot guy. Too lazy to do optimize set ups ala rfactor

So, here's my plan
- PS3 (Ps4 if the logitech G27 can be supported)
- GT6 and an F1 sim
- either an Apiga AP2 plus racing sim with seat OR a whitebox racing seat set (I'm inclined to Apiga since its foldable)
- Logitech G27
- was also thinking between whether I should run a single monitor or three monitor setup. Wonder if PS3 supports multi display? Is it a good idea to run multi display, in your opinion? I mean, how immersive is the gameplay and whether will it make one nauseous after awhile?

Thanks again. Will be shopping around next week to get things started on my passion.

Eventually, like you, I'll graduate to PC sims and I've some some prelim research on asking vendors to build a simple gaming rig for the purpose...

Thanks again my friend

Btw, found a very affordable racing cockpit vendor from Singapore

Will probably be getting the GT2 set from them rather than the Apiga

Anyone keen on a group buy and nego for better price?

Thanks for the great tip. Distance between wheel and display should be shortened. Roger that! Cheers

Got the GT1 cockpit series from them

For the equivalent of rm 1300++ including shipping, I'm getting
- full cockpit frame
- integrated screen mount for up to 52 inch flat tv
- faux leather racing seat
- gear shift mount
- frame wheels

Best deal around by far, now just have to wait 3 weeks for shipment to arrive

Comparatively, the Apiga ap2 was quoted at Rm1900 without integrated screen mount, frame wheels and only fabric seats
