Hmmm.... thats a direct iRacing (noob) competitor right there. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against their physics.
Edit: they also seem to be spitting out cars like there is no tomorrow at the moment. How on earth do they manage to get these in to the sim so quickly?

Damn, that MX5 looks awesome. If the physics can be up their with the model I absolutely can't wait to drive it. I hope they have a stock NA version in addition to tuned Turbo and Supercharged versions

Looks real!

I haven't loaded AC in a while, have they or are they going to include the choice of LH Drive and RHD?

Looks great, not played AC in a while really. I get bored racing against AI so have gone back to iracing till multiplayer comes out.
Woooo MX5
Plus one from me the girlfriend drives a mint 92 import. In black brilliant little car. She has had two now. Never appreciated them till I meet her. Hopefully they add the supercharged version in. As a stage 3 upgrade

Looking good mate, really wish I could do something similar myself but I'm terrible at do diy! So I'm going to have to buy a cockpit!
Associate
Thanks mate 
I love building stuff but my projects do take a long time.
Which cockpit are you considering?

My only concern is that it wont only be used for racing sims, and the keyboard tray does not look very big so I worried my mouse arm might get sore at it will be hovering in the air if that makes sense?
I have emailed them and asked for local stockists so I can sit in one before I buy but Im still waiting for a response
Associate
I got a email back this morning, seems GT Omega have no show room in England so I am not able to see on before I buy

@cuffylad Not sure what your budget is but have you looked into the Obutto? That seems to get consistently good reviews although, again, it's going to be difficult to find somewhere where you can test drive it.
Associate
I have looked at the Obutto (Ozone With triple monitor stand and keyboard tray) and its £80 more than the GTOmega. However as you said I have read a lot of great reviews for these so might be worth the extra investment?
Associate
If you feel you're going to get a lot of usage out of this, £80 doesn't seem to be too much more if you can afford it. It's a bit like a bed, worthwhile investing in it given that it gets so much use!
Associate
Yeah I agree, it will get hammed tbh!
Like I said before my main concern is normal gaming in the cockpit and weather it will be comfortable for m&k use for prolonged periods.

That MX5 looks very promising I was slightly worried AC would become like Rfactor with loads of shoddy mods and the odd good one, but that MX5 looks as good as the cars AC themselves have made.

AC's highest LODs are 60K I believe so I'l wait till we see cars rendered ingame before getting my hopes up.
