The good plan
Car simulation is a dark and complex world at the same time. But you don’t have to be an expert to take yourself for Alonso, all you need is a good game and, above all, a setup worthy of the name. It starts with a flying. Out of the question to play with the controller, the feeling is simply horrible.
Speaking of feelings, the Logitech G29 offers a great service. This force feedback flywheel relies on its two helical gears and its effect sensor Lobby (magnetic field) to offer the pilot, an authentic feeling and a rotation on 900 ° (2.5 turns). Logitech does not skimp on appearance and feeling either since we have the right to a leather finish German premium way. On the ground, we have the right to a beautiful 3-pedal crankset to better manage the speed of the vehicle and gear changes. In this regard, Logitech offers, as an option, a 6 speed gear lever for lovers of manual transmission and realism.
At the moment, Amazon has something to make racing fans smile by offering 48% reduction on this compatible G29 steering wheel. Pc, PS4 and PS5. It goes from € 399.99 to just € 209.30. If you also need the shifter, it is also on the reduction side, dropping the price of the set from € 458.99 to € 254.98.

What alternative?
To push the vice even further into realism, we can speak of Thrustmaster T300RS GT. Also equipped with a 3-pedal crankset in this version GT, the T300RS stands out thanks to its brushless motor providing more precise and realistic force feedback. Even more precise than the G29, this T300RS is also compatible with many of the brand’s accessories. It is even possible to change the wheel of the steering wheel to the one of your choice.
