It was out of stock until today...should have said so when you ordered it. It was out of stock before black friday even. Lots of backorders.

Wasn't sure of forwards compatibility.

I need to redo my set up. I sold my special edition Ferrari wheel (had them fancy paddles behind the wheel) for the Xbox 360. Since I'm not using my Status Racing seat, I may as well go full retard and get myself another wheel for the XB1.

What's the best bang for the buck xBoner wheel? I've been considering this for a while.

You don't need lateral support for games breh, anything will do.

I don't find the games worth playing without having 3 pedals and a shiny metal knob to fondle though... compared to any actual car shit it's cheap anyway.

This is the easiest fabrication project in the world.

I'm sure Bag End had plenty of pinshit pallets laying around to handle this.

Just get on and knock out the first hour of gameplay so you unlock the online shit.

And make sure you build up the following cars:
(1) 2017 Raptor
(1) Brubtub

The rest of the Horizon world is your oyster.

Does the Maloo count as a Brubtub? Don't have much time to play right now though, and not sure I have a Raptor or could even afford on at the moment. Haven't played the damn game in over a month.

Yes...but it takes up too much space.

It's perfect...but ridiculously expensive for a folding chair.

Not if you spend an extra few minutes engineering it... this really is not a big deal.

Buy your ass a G920+shifter tonight and I'll help you build a folding cockpit this weekend.

It's one fucking SMP.

But I have it. It's awesome.

KiaGiver · Wed Dec 07, 2016 6:49 pm

Yeah I used an old computer desk, chopped the legs so they worked with my status seat height while it was on the ground and then clamped the wheel to the desk. Boom.

$30 in PVC pipe and wood I made this setup http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-w ... -27511410/

Took about an hour and has held up perfectly.
