I have the momo racing wheel and am very happy with it, I may get a g25 next when this ones time is up. For the money i dont think the momo can be beat!!

The biggest difference, even though physics in this sim are excellent is you cant feel what the car is doing through your seat like you do in the car. My lines are good even though I fall victim to late apex's as we all do on occasion. I drive for a living, and drive very fast. Not going to get into what I do but am in the car about 12hrs(somtimes 18hrs) a day. Its what I do and I like doing it. We all know that street and track driving is very different and im glad that the physics engine is much better from LFS 1. That said my times are slowly dropping both with experimenting with setups and feeling the car through the wheel and visually instead of the seat of my pants.
Thanks for the help guys and practice practice should make me a bit more competative..I hope.

Well I began tweaking the car a bit and now Im down to about 12-15secs off of WRs and about 10sec off from peoples hot laps. Once I get a few good races in Ill post a replay. Ok Im 9secs off this one...

Thanks for the quick replies!! I drive sitting straight up...no race frame yet...how far am I from WR about 15-20secs....Im experimenting with the setups as we speak...

Ok first off, let me say this, I am an avid sim racer, trying everything with a decent physics engine out there...and this is the most realistic by far. But....(yup here it comes)....I have also raced in real life on a real race track in real cars...namely Porsches and did very well. Why do I suck at LFS??? I have a nice momo FF wheel a nice 23in LCD screen and am getting 120fps out of my vid card...everything is right hardware wise....am I missing something??? I am following my lines and attempting not to early or late apex...and still not posting great times. HELP!!
