Real Racing Simulation Game

It took quite a while, but we finally have, in the PC based flight simulation community, an exceptionally realistic simulacrum of a Boeing jet airliner yoke. And without having to raid the aviation boneyard in Arizona to liberate it from a derelict real-life Boeing! Thrustmaster's TCA Boeing Edition flight stick (actually, a YOKE, thank you very much!) is the closest your hands can come to wrapping themselves around 300,000 plus pounds of hot screaming metal. The yoke is an essentially full sized replica of a 787 yoke, with the one exception being the switch grouping is on both sides of the yoke, whereas the originals only have switches on the outer handle. Very ingeniously, Thrustmaster has created something of the illusion of having the yoke on the upper end of a control column, as on real airliners, as opposed to being mounted on a pipe that comes horizontally out of the instrument panel, as on most small planes. This pendular action provides another dimension of realism in the operation of this device, and puts it in a class all by itself for flying any heavy iron that uses a yoke (as opposed to flying a modern Airbus, which use side-sticks, a type of control input that Thrustmaster has also made available to the simulation community in a different, equally realistic, package). I spent over 30 years with one or another real Boeing yoke in my real-life hands, and I can vouch for the authenticity of the feel of this yoke. Of course, being spring loaded (with a variable number of springs, for varying the resistance), you will not get all of the real feel of flying a 777, or any of the other Boeing types, but this is as close as you can get without buying a complete FAA approved flight simulator. Which, by the way, would probably cost more than one of the real airplanes, at least if you got it out of the boneyard (and even 777's are in the boneyard these days!) Happy Landings

I first experienced flight simulation in 1998 with the Microsoft flight Simulation program. I'am retired now and became interested in flight simulation again and downloaded the MSFS 2020. My old control apparatus was not compatible with the new MSFS so I began searching for new controls. I was familiar with B H from purchasing photo equipment in years past. After contacting BH sales and being placed on a waiting list for a basic joystick I received notice of the availability of the one I recently purchased. Thanks B and H for getting me back on track.

I've gone my entire life without a proper wheel setup for racing games. As a kid I had a couple of those $30 mad catz steering wheels and never had a proper setup to utilize them. Even if I did the wheels were trash. Fast forward to now and I started thinking about racing setups to get me really into GT Sport. Since I'm limited on space I found a Playseat Challenge. The biggest plus about this is the storage size, along with having a proper seating position, unlike many of the cheaper setups out there that use a chair. Onto the wheel. I opted for this over the logitech due to the fact it's belt driven. No annoying clunks and ratcheting. Sure the logitech wheel looks better, but the thrustmaster wheel is perfect. Paddles are solid, feedback is great, noise level is perfect. I did buy the t3pa-pro pedals due to being able to position them like they are in a normal car, plus the all metal base/pedals are very nice. The first day of driving was a little strange, but quickly adaptable. Just adjusting pedals to my preference and overall seating position were the biggest obstacles at first. I had to learn how to drive with paddles for the first time as well. One thing with a wheel is if you're staying on track it's much easier to pull off consistent laps. In Day 2 on my first attempt I broke my Day 1 fastest lap time by 5 seconds. Day 3 I improved another second. Most of the top times compared to me are still 3 seconds faster, but you can definitely understand where you need to improve if you think about speed through corners, when to brake, feeling the tires at or before their breaking point. I wish I had this for as long as I've ever played any racing game. I do many player other genres on ps4 so GT isn't my primary game like a lot of GT players, but with a little patience you'll be having the most fun in a racing game in no time.

I received the shifter in new condition and within a reasonable time. It works great and makes my video game racing experience more exciting and fun. Great device.

Been racing with it for a couple of weeks, its awsome racing F1 with this wheel. The feeling really gets you in the game. Put it on the T300RS and it is worth every penny. Thanks for this great item

This is true 1:1 rally wheel, and being a real wheel should be used with racing gloves for best grip of the wheel. The size allows for great car control and feel. The buttons are suffient and well placed to be used in game.

I'm just getting into sim racing and wanted a more 'real feel' experience. The Next Level Racing F-GT is just an amazing cockpit. I love the fact you can switch between GT and F1 seat (although not as easy and quick to change as claimed!) I could have went with a less expensive cockpit as well as spend WAY MORE money! This is a great mid-level cockpit and I've been extremely happy with it. It you're on the fence with it, just do it! You won't regret it!.

I love it. Very comfortable, very enjoyable, although I would hope there would be more real racing games like track racing even derby racing would be good. I only found one racing game and it was go kart overall it is the best in gaming bored Xbox and playstation away

This is one of the best things I have ever used in a racing setup. The build quality is top notch with real metal and it feels great. I would totally recommend it.

The monitor has excellent colors and when gaming, it makes the game appear real. I would definitely buy it again.
