Just picked up my first wheel/pedals in 15 years
I’ve been out of the sim racing world for about 15 years. Last wheel was a belt-driven Logitech and some Fanatec club sport pedals. I was on iRacing exclusively and had time back then to tinker to my heart’s content.
Fast forward many years and now I have kids that are really getting into cars and I want to give them an intro to sim racing. I’ve decided to start with a PS5-based setup, both to get them interested and to make things easier to just get racing. Plan is to run GT7 mainly, but I think I’m going to want to run ACC and WRC as well. It looks like there are more sims coming to PS5 too. I’ll miss my old triple-screen setup for sure, but I’m really interested in trying PSVR2.
Anyway, I’m looking for help with a rig setup, please. I’ve just bought a used DD wheel: Logitech G Pro setup (wheel and pedals). I’m now looking for the following to complement it:
Profile rig: I want something with a sturdy platform for this Logitech style wheel base. I also want something where i can use a seat-slider based pedal tray (so I can quickly adjust for kids). I think the answer is GT Omega, but I can’t decide between Prime or Prime Lite?
TV/monitor. I like the display to be as close to the wheel base as possible. And understand I’m limited to 16:9 on PS5. Which TV/monitor size do you think is ideal? 32” monitor or maybe a 4x” TV? How about resolution? Would I regret not getting a 120hz 4K unit? And I think I’m convinced of the need for an independent monitor stand, to isolate display from DD wheel.
PS5. I’m planning to get the regular PS5 instead of Pro, and using the savings to put towards a PSVR2. Is that sensible?
Thank you!
