Gear & Setup Questions
What is the best beginner wheel?
For most beginners, we recommend the Logitech G923 or Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. Both offer good force feedback at an entry-level price point.
What is the difference between gear, belt, and direct drive?
Gear-driven: Uses gears to transmit force. Affordable and reliable but can feel notchy.
Belt-driven: Uses belts for smoother transmission. Smoother and quieter than gear.
Direct Drive: Motor directly attached to wheel rim. Most realistic with highest torque.
Do I need a cockpit, or can I use a desk?
You can start with a desk-mounted setup! However, for high-torque wheels, a proper cockpit provides better stability and ergonomics.
What is FOV and why does it matter?
FOV (Field of View) determines how much of the virtual world you see. Use our FOV Calculator to find your optimal setting.
