Thanks for all the input chaps I think I'm going to get a Farm Sim and a UK Truck Sim and save up the £'sssss and get a wheel and pedals. Now where did I put me Wellies.


Yes, you definitely need a high resolution wheel (typically 900deg rotation) for Truck sims and preferably, one with a lot of buttons if you are going to use it for Farm Sim. The Logitech ones seem to be most popular, (I have the Driving Force GT and can highly recommend it) and considering the time you are likely to spend using it, is a very worthwhile investment. I never got my wheel to work with RigNRoll unfortunately, although it works with all other driving sims. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of ATS, which will be based in California like RNR. I just hope they won't DRM the living daylights out of it like so many other games these days.

My Steering Wheel and Pedals for my various Truck Driving Sims...>>>

..less that 50 GB smackers, and works a treat ...AFTER I removed the (too strong!) centralising springs and replaced them with simple elastic bands for easier control!

I love touring the very familiar California scenery in my "Rig 'n Roll", since my "Flight Unlimited II" flight Sim excursions around the Sunny State in 1997!.... :D ...!

For me...after 15+ years...this is like flying/driving around my back yard!.... :D ...>>>

I'm still experimenting with Win 10 so will try more progs later on.


Another one to pass the Win 10 test = DCS A-10 warthog. It runs a treat on my new comp with graphics to the max. Now I'm thinking of getting the Thrustmaster HOTAS warthog joystick and throttle set. £300 though, yikes! I might just be getting a little OCD with this sim lark.....psychiatric counselling needed!

I have a earlier version of this my dad bought for my son. My son is special needs and he loved the demo I downloaded to check out and my son went crazy for it. You'd swear he was on it if you seen him watch it. It puts in in the mindset of being on any of the selected coasters. I have NoLimits Simulator. The version I have you can build your own coasters.
The video is from NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation
