Sorry to change the genre a bit, I've always been more into flightsims but it hasn't become therapeutic since last year not just because of the lockdowns but also that I've finally managed to obtain some hardware like the VKB Gunfighter MK.III with the MCG Pro grip, T-Rudder Pedals and Monstertech deskmounts for my stick & throttle (Thrustmaster TWCS throttle untill VKB comes with theirs) and it made flying DCS especially birds like the F-14 Tomcat so much more soothing and relaxing being able to sit a lot more comfortable and having full control without needing to lean forward to the keyboard as my old stick didn't had enough buttons to bind to controls.



Costed a pretty penny but every one was worth it.



Sorry for the little derail, carry on :D

This statistic seems to show that at least amongst dedicated siom racers, VR has taken the relative lead over triple, wide and single screens.

Myself, I cannot imagine to go back to non-VR racing. Its a difference between night and day.

Fanatec has released a new wheel base, direct drive (DD), the CSL DD. Its affordable with 350 Euros, the other ones cost 1200+ Euros. It has a smaller size, and a separate table clamp for non-constant cockpits is available.

Its a a relief in so far as I was a little bit shocked to see that they had only the ultra-expensive stuff on offer anymore, the belt-driven wheelbases are no longer offered. Still, you must add costs for a wheel rim and, if desired, shifter, and of course pedals.

Also, new pedals from them.
