My rig is in my signature, and I would also strongly recommend the Playseat Challenge.
 
Mr Tree
Due to limited space:

The playseat challenge how big of an improvement is it compared to a deskchair and a desk?

I get these pains driving and am wondering if it is me beeing new to this or because the chair can twist, you're never really in that perfect set up...

Yet the price on the thing is ridiculess so I am wondering if I should buy it or not. If they took of 50€ from that price I'd not be wondering at all.

Yes, it is. The challenge is so comfy that i use it with a warmer on my back when it acts up. Depending on your weight you might have to mod it a bit.
Just be aware of the height requirements, no shorter than 1m73cm and not much taller than 2m. SimHQ did a review a while back.
 
Just added some T3PA Pro pedals to my rig.

And very nice they are to.
 
T300 GTE ( I preferred the buttons without the PlayStation button logo's )

T3PA Pro's , Single 47inch LG
Playseat Challenge.

The Playseat Challenge is perfect for just folding away with wheel and pedals attached and carrying away. Very Sturdy and comfy

Thrustmaster 599XX EVO 30 Wheel Add-On Alcantara Edition Rim

My advice is to do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions, but most of all, try to get the best stuff you can because if you really enjoy this, you will just keep upgrading and in the end it will still cost you a small fortune.

Guys, you might want to head over to the official PCars forums and post in the thread I've linked below.
It's not looking good for us T500 users.

RSeat RS1 with T300 Ferrari Alcantara and F1 Rim. Used to have PlaySeat challenge. Loved the challenge, but wanted to step up my game.
 
GT Sport beta is T500 compatible so it seems crazy to think they wouldn't support it because it was on the previous game on the same platform, do you think Sony would release an update to un-support T500 specifically and 🤬 over every T500 user?
The T500 was made for the PS3 on Gran Turismo was it not? People invest a lot of money into wheels and if Sony do this to us, I'm done, time to get a PC.

There's every chance that Thrustmater themselves want to see it phased out. They've a shiny new wheel to sell after all.

Chances are the last console game to fully support it could be Assetto Corsa.

It's not on the supported peripherals list for Dirt 4 either. It looks bad.
 
What the point in buying racing wheels if after a few years, they stop supporting it?

Edit: Actually I know the answer, it's to sell new wheels but if they pull a stunt like this then I'm not buying another one. I spent £400ish on T500rs only 2 years ago.
 
I seriously need to get my man cave tidied up so I can post some new pics...... LOL

That means very little man, think about it. Dirt 4 is on that list and yet the T500 is not on Code Masters official peripherals list.

Screenshot_20170731-222508.png


Fanatec wheels worked on the PS4 also, right up until they didn't. Only the recently released one works now.
And this was only announced a couple of days before Assetto Corsa was released. Lots of people were hung out to dry.

Please post in the thread I linked above on the official SMS forums.
We need to find out sooner rather than later where we stand.

Surely that is down to Codemasters? I got this information from the forum you linked so I dont need to post it again.
To me it sounds more like a bug, because they are saying the game recognises it, and then after a few minutes it disconnects, i think his wording in the forum was wrong.

That stuff you posted is from Thrustmater man, not from SMS.
The wording on the Codemasters forums isn't wrong either, that's an official response from them to questions as to why the T500 won't work on Dirt 4.

You seriously can't smell a rat here?

My T500 didn't work properly on Dirt 3 either (a PS3 title), but works fine on PC1. I'm not expecting a problem with PC2 as I didn't have one with PC1.
