Please let the steam machine be reasonably priced so I can fit it under my tv & play this game.

Really don't want an average size gaming pc in the front room.

Otherwise I'll just have to upgrade my potato laptop instead.

Think I'll fire up ams1 in the meantime.

Simply the best. I was surprised that they didn't have any pictures of the Brocky though. I was hoping they'd add it.
It's nice to see them continue on the right path and make people happy.

The way things are going, the cheaper option may be the next Xbox if it really is just a PC with console/Steam/Epic storefronts.

The problem with that is (and I doubt it will be any different with the new console) still to this day we can't plug extra Sim gear into the Xbox directly, everything has to plug into the wheel base which stops you swapping & changing ecosystems unless you buy an adapter.

If you want to use a shifter & handbrake with thrustmaster you have to buy an extra hub also the analog handbrake built into the th8a doesn't work on console (PC only) then there's the software, on pc you get an extra bit of software to customise your wheel settings, but on console you only have the game settings to rely on.

We have an app to customise the crappy thrustmaster e-swap controller so why not an app for our wheels?

And to throw it at microsoft who makes both windows & the xbox why can't I plug in a cheap usb handbrake & have it work?

I'm just fed up with the whole console restrictive ecosystem to be honest.

Edit: also I've mentioned this before but duplicate buttons, I've had to buy a wireless numpad just so I can assign extra buttons because xbox or thrustmaster won't let you utilize all the buttons on your wheel. At least on PlayStation you get the use of L3&R3 on xbox they don't exist, I've got 3 buttons that mimic A, what a waste of time.

Some of my most used cars. That view you're using has such a wild sense of speed.
Just finished a Championship with the 2016 Indycars and it was great. I didn't win it but the fun had was more of a win than coming in first.

Forgot about the video thread.

Is that a mod for those IndyCars or have I missed them in game?

I converted the 2016 cars from Project Cars 2. Still need to do the oval versions but they're almost done.
