    I think it’s possible to make a sim support keyboard with a lot of assist and I do think it’s good to increase accessibility this way. But if it’s difficult then it probably says more about the keyboard assist logic than the sim itself.

    Are you in the uk.?
    If you pay postage I will send you my first ffb wheel for free.
    Cant recall what it is (ferrari something) its in loft but you would not look back and would be hooked Im sure.
    If not beg or borrow to try a wheel.
    At the very least a controller.
    Edit may have been wrong about ferrari ? Its a logitec something 2 pedals should still work (will try it)
    Mickey mouse? but better than keyboard:)

    I think that's the old Logitech Wingman wheel. I had one of those a life time ago.
    I like to think of this difference as the 2 sims having 2 different types of tires loaded on the same cars giving you different feel and results.

    Would advise OP to buy a used G27. It's the best package for a beginner. Has shifter included. You can mod the pedals with GTeye-springs. If a little more money T300 + the new Load cell pedals will do fine. Perhaps throw a TH8A in the mix. Otherwise CSL / CSW 2.5 package will do. If he doesn't like racing that much he can always sell it for the same price or even a little more due Covid.

    Peace!

    ps. Playing racingsims with a controller is like playing FPS shooters with a flightstick. Looks fun, doens't work. There's always F12020 and Dirt 5, tho.

    Yeah, but a G29 etc etc do not come with a shifter included and the price is a tad too heavy cause it's using outdated technology. It's G27 or go bust. :d

    Really? Me not.

    I even know that there are faster guys as me, and they use keys or pads.
    do I care? No, because I, and I speak just for myself, do have more fun using a wheel.

    same goes about DD wheels. Do they make you faster? Again, no.
    And speaking again just about me, I raced for many many years with „normal“ thrustmaster and logitech, but a (sadly) quite expansive DD just tops the fun.
    Not because I am faster, but because of what I feel in my hands. :)

    It’s true that carbon fiber is not itself a plastic. It’s an incredibly small diameter fiber (or filament) made mostly of carbon atoms.
    What Do Carbon Fiber Cars Have to Do With Plastics?.
    Kind of but not really :whistle:;):whistle:

    Haha true, the fiber itself is not a plastic. Should have been more clear there.
    The binder however is. It can be an unsaturated polyester or epoxy resin. Other types of binder are also possible but those are the most common to my knowledge...
