New member on this forum, and apologies for what may be a long first post.
I'm currently using a controller, but I know I'm suffering because of it. I've made it into the top 1% of plenty of leaderboards, but so many corners are literally being zigzagged round because I just can't hold the little stick steady enough (can anyone?), so I'm nudging the car continually, and don't even ask me about super speedways
I know (or I'm pretty sure) my lap times would vastly improve if I had a good steering wheel set-up.
I did recently buy that XBOX speed wheel(?) controller, but found it basically impossible to use as the car seemed to have a mind of it's own irrespective of which settings I used (in the 'advanced controller settings' menu).
I'm prepared to pay for a good wheel and pedal set-up, but which one?
My worry is if I can't use the XBOX speed wheel controller, then will I also struggle with a proper steering wheel, or is it genuinely a world of difference?
I've noticed that good set-ups are hundreds of pounds, so don't want it to be a waste of money.
and fwiw?...
I'm 31yrs old, fully licensed driver and have been driving manual transmission cars for 14 years. Does a good steering wheel mimic the feel of a real car?
tl;dr - As title, which steering wheel and pedal set-up would you recommend?
