Thats interesting, so sims like PC and Raceroom and other sims use different fov or speed up the game ?

That is still not enough. Need the H shifter/clutch, phone and tablet as well as a kick ass rig for it all.
Even though it wasn't accurate I did love the feeling using the TH8A in sequential mode on the PS4. Cannot wait to get into it for the PC.
No amount of tinkering will get pCars to AC level of driving physics and feel: AC is used by Ferrari to develop road cars, by Porsche to make simulators for its customers and by ACI CSAI official Italian racing school for single seaters at Vallelunga (F1's Daniil Kviat is their graduate and also raced AC sim while there https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/26015583/ ).
pCars is a good game, but never comparable to AC, despite what Ben Collins & Nick Hamilton (who were paid to market it) say. iRacing, rFactor2, AC - in no particular order - are comparable sims; pCars is more inline with the Codemasters stuff and EA's NFS:Shifts
Automobilista has superior physics than any of them.
Totally agree about pcars, terrible game.

Enjoying this but agree a Wheel would be better. Can anyone recommend a good wheel? Don't mind paying for quality.

Literally depends on budget, look for Logitech G25/G27/G29, Thrustmaster T150/T300/T500, Fanatec GT3 RS v2 or the CSR (Forza Motorsport CSR)
The Fanatec and Thrustmaster wheels are all belt driven which gives a better feel and no force feedback deadzone compared to Logitechs cog driven system which is also noisy.
The Logitech wheels all come with pedals that have a clutch and very similar in look however I think the G29 pedals have a better feeling brake pedal due to different spring and a rubber stopper, the G25/G27 pedals can be modified to reproduce this.
The Fanatecs and Thrustmasters come with varying sets of pedals, may or may not have a clutch/loadcell brake pedal.

I'd look into getting the T300 with the T3PA pedal set (which comes with the conical brake mod for better progressive feel when braking) that would be a great place to start without spending too much money.

Yes it's the same wheel, the T300 works with PS3/4 while the tx works with Xbox, they both work with PC. fireblade is talking about getting the T3PA pedals which has a clutch and are better than the two pedal version that comes with the T300.

Bought this in the steam sale and absolutely loving it. Grabbed a G920 just for it and all i can say is wow. Never owned a wheel & pedals before but what a difference it makes!

Thanks for the wheel suggestions folks, ordered the T300RS this morning so will see how I get on with it. Was tempted by a T500 but the price of the 300 means I can upgrade a few bits if i want to.
Man of Honour
Actually scratch that, managed to source a T500RS instead via Amazon Warehouse, open box but like new!

Is that with the T3PA Pro pedals?

I'm not sure now actually

Brilliant wheel, make sure you update the firmware, love mine...fantastic bit of kit!

Just spotted it for £350 new which is the lowest I've seen, cancelled the Warehouse Order as it was dearer!
Nipped into GAME last night and handled the T300RS though which actually seemed quite nice, going to order something for delivery tomorrow, am I still better with the T500RS over the T300RS GT or even the T300 Ferrari Alcantra? (Appears both of those T300 models have the same pedals)

If the T500 comes with the T3PA Pro pedals get that IMO.

I've heard of far more problems with the T300 than the T500, and as a T500 user I'd have to recommend it...it was a top of the line wheel when it was released. Tech may have moved on but the T500 does a solid job and is so well known it's compatible with everything, even PS4 (in game not in menus). If you don't like the Rim you can buy add-on rims and it's really easy to swap later.
I say keep G27 and save up for Oculus, thats what I'm doing at the moment Tried VR with a flight sim couple of days back and was blown away, AC is supposed to be as good if not better. G27/29 is plenty good enough - good pedals with clutch, decent h-shifter, fast enough for drifting (just)...
If you sell the touch controllers Oculus is £320 atm.
