Steering Wheel or DS4?

T300 gt edition with t3pa pedals sitting on a playseat evolution branded gt SIM setup with chair.... and suede that is very hard to clean because of my cats... I'm definitely all Fanboyed outt :-) bought the pro, a 55-inch 4K HDR TV and the virtual reality system. I'm not well off mind you, just really good at spending my money in ways that are going to harm me in my 60s and 70s...

I was about ready to buy the shifter as well back when I first got dirt rally VR, but I fell in love with the paddle shifters and will take a little less immersion for Speed :-)

I will say to anyone running a thrustmaster wheel and not using the 3PA system or better, definitely upgrade! That cheap little coneotical break mod is the best thing that I've ever felt. Need to do a little research on putting a heavy duty spring on the accelerator, but from going from a Logitech driving force GT pedals to this, literally exponentially better.
 
Used to race with the Logitech G25 in GT6 but sold it a while ago. Using the DS4 now and pretty happy with how it performs. Feels smooth. The countersteering problem is my only complaint but I try to keep a clean line to avoid that. However many FR cars are hard to drive with the DS4 without TC on.
 
I mostly use a T150 but use the DS4 for rallying or when I'm too lazy to set up the wheel. BTW, is there an upgrade pedal with just the brake and gas?
 
Controller. It would be a wee bit difficult to integrate a wheel into my, er, 'rig' (sorry for mild potato):

PS4 Pro on a chair, monitor on a stool, and a DS4 + me on a bed. Hey, if it works, it works. :lol:

Have you tried the motion control?
 
DS4 users, SCT and GSA wise, what do you do?

SCT at 2 for me and GSA on at the moment for me.

For the licenses, it's almost mandatory to have everything on plus auto transmission, it saves a great deal of time.

Well, if you're dedicated enough, you don't need bed, and for money you will get for it, you can get wheel+that neat driving chair. In which, I'm sure you can sleep for at least couple hours when you are not playing. No need to thank me for a tip, ^^
 
G29 with Pedals on my homemade ghetto rig. A little bummed that you can’t set anything to the shifter like you can in PCars, and Dirt. I like to set 4th to the e-brake if I’m using the paddle shifters. I had to turn my ff up to 10 too, to make it feel more realistic. Aside from that, so far so good!
 
Both my G29 & DS4. Alternating as they're both a pleasure. When I want smoothness, depth, and immersion, and pin-point steering inputs? G29. When I want the simplicity of being able to do the complex inputs required by the motion of my arms, hands, legs, and feet by simply using four fingers? DS4.

DS4 because I have a G27 and refuse to buy new wheel because I use it for my PC. Currently looking at solutions to get my G27 to work on the PS4.
 
T500rs atm (when it's working), soon to be T-GT, and DS4 for rallying and drifting. I'm faster with the wheel in rallying but like @DriveSpark said, it feels far better/easier with the pad.
