Project Cars 2 VR? Is it OK?

[NeilF]

Looking to buy Project Cars 2 (on PC) for my Oculus Quest (Link) - Anyone had experience of PC2 with VR? All OK?

 

[NeilF]

OK! Thanks! Ordered! £13.99 for deluxe edition, with all DLCs etc etc...

What are peolpe using steering wheel wise out of interest (which they'd recommend)?

 

[NeilF]

Logitech G920 (the simpler XBox version of the G29). It's what I'd consider the bare minimum for some decent sim racing on a budget. You can usually get the G920 or G29 for substantially less than the £300 RRP (it gets discounted often at a certain highly-popular online retail store).

Thrustmaster have a couple of offerings in the same price range, but I rarely see them discounted. After that you're looking at direct-drive wheels from Fanatec which starts getting very expensive.

O U C H !

Got a Quest now, and will be selling the CV1.

You might get more money selling the CV1 for parts. Cables in particular can go for silly money as they're not available anymore.

Seem to go for around £200+ (on fleabay) in good condition, which mine definitely is

A racing setup isn't cheap, but it doesn't have to be expensive either.

I paid £153.99 for my G29 and pedals, which came with the separate gear shifter. My Playseat Challenge folding racing seat cost £150.

So around £300 for a full racing setup, much less than the high-end Fanatec, but good enough for me as I'm not a competitive sim-racer.

Couple that with the VR headset (Originally a CV1, and now an Index) and I've got a very immersive sim-racing experience that amazes me every time I try it, and best of all it folds up flat and stacks nicely away in a corner when not used.

Isn't the G29 for consoles?

 

[NeilF]

G29 was developed for consoles but its got more buttons and shifter lights and works perfectly with a pc.
I purchased the g29 a couple of years ago for my Pc sim setup and have never looked back.

Cool... And it's supported ok in PC games?

 

[NeilF]

Yes, the G29 and G920 are practically identical. Both are PC-compatible, with the only differences being console compatibility and the G29 having and extra couple of buttons, LEDs and a dial on the wheel. The G920 has XBox labelling on the buttons (A, B, X, Y etc), the G29 has PlayStation labels (triangle, square, circle etc).

They're both very well supported on PC racing games as they probably the most popular wheels out there (although my brother had to use the G920 profile in Project Cars 2 to get his G29 recognised).

Many thanks! I mean G29XBox, G29PS and G29PC would be too obvious

What is the PC version then?
