Next step is a wheel with a good base. I mean, G920 is like 200-250€. Next clever step is to try some base with some good wheel. 300-500€

And you can find some fanatec between that prices...but I think best wheel quality/price is the Fanatec Clubsport if you dont think about Open Sim Wheel.

Hope it helps you!

I got myself one of these wireless keyboards with a touchpad and it has worked out pretty well. Very useful for adjusting the UI, TC, ABS, camera, video recording, etc. without much effort.

Don't get me wrong, AC should have D-pad support for the menus and stuff. But the keyboard is a much better interface IMO.

Hopefully they port the console menus to PC when they're done for those that want it.

I'm playing on a Genius Twinwheel F1 (http://www.amazon.com/Genius-TwinWheel-F1-Vibration-Wheel/dp/B000ODVKUC/), it was the cheapest wheel I could find that wasn't total trash.

It isn't a "real" wheel for sure; it's pretty small and only turns 180 degrees. But I like playing with it and it could be a good low-risk way to decide if you want to move up to a better wheel, which is what I'm thinking of doing right now.

If you do end up getting that wheel I could send you the settings I'm using for it, it took a bit of trial and error to get it dialed in.

Did you get an original power adapter?

I ran into a similar problem with the wheel seemed a little bit slow especially when you started up and FFB did indeed felt weaker. I found out that it was due to the power adapter because I use my gaming laptop charger (it at least went beyond the required voltage and amperage and it fitted; I'm no EET....don't scorn me!!) because I forgot it at my parents house when I showed case it with my Oculus Rift to friend and family. Didn't know what the problem was until I went back the next time and got it back and it came back alive strong making lots of noise like it use to.

Not sure if that's your problem in particular but make sure you have an original power adapter just to be safe: https://www.amazon.com/Original-Logitech-Power-Adapter-Racing/dp/B00742YOEU

I play ETS2 as well (picked it up during the Steam Winter Sale last year). It's a different experience for sure. I've delivered maybe a dozen loads so far? I put a TrackIR5 on my christmas list, and am hoping that makes it a little more enjoyable and makes the looking-around not so tedious.

$30 too expensive?

This is working pretty well for me for the time being.

That doesn't look bad except that the watts on the amp are low. Ideally you would want a 400 watt amp so you could send 100 watts to each bass shaker. If you are a "DIY" type of person check out my setup below.

That is the one Oculus recommend, I use it myself with two sensors on the expansion card, and an additional sensor and my headset USB cord by USB 2.0. No issues :)

You sure can mate. Do you have a PCIE 3.0 on your motherboard? You'll need it for that expansion card. That being said, if you're only going to be using the rift for racing it should be possible to run a sensor and the headset on USB 2 anyway. I did to begin with when I first got my rift, but your results may vary depending on your mobo

if you mean this wheel then you are a bit out of luck. It doesn't officially support PC but some people have reported getting some games to work in different ways.

Here it is for a little more in amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-G27-Racing-Wheel-pedals/dp/B00CJ5FP1I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416777517&sr=8-1&keywords=g27

This is the cheapest decent wheel that I know of that works on both- Thrustmaster TX
