Alright boys, so let me update you on this.
So, a few things happened and space became an issue. Sold the G27 and forgot about sim racing for a number of years. PC has been humming on swimmingly and I'm now running a gtx 1080 and some other additional goodies, upgraded the monitor and cooler, had some fun times with various games and my steam back log. My roomate and my best friend ended up getting Rift's for the summer of Rift event and I did as well, and with PC2 on the horizon and GT next month, I thought it was high time to delve back into this. Got a prebuilt rig with racing chair and stand from GT Omega, another g27 from an MM'er and my rift in.
Guys, VR is the future. The resolution is low but you actually have depth perception. It's a game changer for me. It takes a while to get over the nausea a bit but with like dirt rally or something, it's insanely immersive. I haven't played with iRacing or anything like that, but I can definitely tell you that I'm way too much of a hack to race at a competitive level at any point soon. Still. If you're in town and want to try it out, let me know. It's a tough to explain exactly what it's like.
