No surprisingly most are quicker the other way. On a flat screen. Not sure why that is. I presume the year and self worth kick in when in vr even though it's fake

I can believe that, when I had a go on Project Cars in VR i was genuinely scared of crashing!

Well I got to try out the playseat tonight Darth Helmut and I bloody love it! Really comfortable and so quick and easy to fold up and put away! Only slight gripe is the strap to hold the pedals goes a bit loose because the Logitech pedals are a tapered shape.

But, I’m not really happy with the Logitech G920, it has a notchy feeling to the steering like there’s gears grinding inside the base! I know the belt driven wheels are smoother, but none of the reviews noted this as being an issue so I wonder if there’s something not right with the wheel. Either way I’m considering a different wheel!

Thrustmaster I swear by mine and they must have a new one out.... mines 3 years old and going strong

Glad you like the chair too. For what it is (an Alcantara deck chair pretty much), it does do a great job. Shame about your wheel. If you do look at getting another one, I'd recommend the Thrustmaster T300RS. Very good wheel with tons of force feedback and very convincing. The pedal box fits quite well with the seat. You can chuck different wheels on the main T300 unit too. I've got a Ferrari F1 wheel

Just ordered the Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition (Xbox One user) and will return the Logitech to Amazon. Cheers guys!

Yes I keep reading that the T3PA pedals are meant to be good.

I'm currently playing with the Thrustmaster and WOW what a difference!! It is in another league to the Logitech, no notchyness to the steering and the force feedback is brutal in this Ford Mustang!
