Hi,
I am new to the forum and looking for some hardware recommendations. I hope this is the right place to start.
My objective is to complete a DIY 80/20 motion rig (SFX150) with a Thanos controller set up as a 3 or 4 servo motion simulator. I started the build several years ago, before Covid, and have accumulated the 80/20 the rig hardware, VW Golf seat, 80/20, motion components and controller are all in hand. Currently working on the 3D printing for the actuators. Things slowed down while trying to complete the PC, video cards were really hard to find. Finally located an RTX 8020 Ti that pairs well with my HP Reverb VR goggles.
A VR setup is the plan but it may turn into (3) Monitors.
My first love is Flight Simulation, GA & Combat, my second is Racing simulation. I will start a Cockpit Build thread shortly to document my journey and share the experience with others.
For now, I am interested in recommendations for the following:
1. Set of aviation pedals. I used to fly GA aircraft so am interested in quality/ realistic feel. These will be paired with my Honey Comb Yoke and throttle. I also have a HOTAS stick for combat. I would like a quality set of pedals and avoid upgrade itus.
2. DD base & Wheel + Pedals, Shifter & Handbrake. I am a novice at Sim racing so I don't really think I need top-end equipment. I do not have a desire to compete in iRacing. I originally was looking at the Fanatec ecosystem or the Accuforce wheel setup, especially the Accuforce software. The selection is a little overwhelming so any recommendations would be appreciated.
I am located in the US.
I appreciate any advice you may share. Thanks in advance!
