What's a good affordable wheel and peddles for ATS.
I'm trying to figure out a good wheel and peddles for the game but don't want to go overboard on the price. But not cheap garbage either. Anyone got tips?

UPDATE: Just got the Thrustmaster T150 and it is a total nightmare to setup. Gave up and sent it back. DOB'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THE T150.

Fanatec

Do you want good force feedback with not a lot of noise? How about a wheel that rattles and feels notchy?

I'm gonna guess yes for question 1 and no for question 2.

If that is what you also said then you will want Thrustmaster products.

Check out the T150 or TMX wheels, which start at around $200 MSRP.

There are upgraded versions that include a 3 pedal set, aptly named T150 Pro and TMX Pro, which add about $40-$50 to the price of the base sets.

Fanatec is way overpriced for the average user.

Thrust Master or Logitec would be the best imo.

I got the full set for $300 on a deal, was a good investment.
What do people usually use for the shifter? I'm looking at buying a wheel and peddle set soon, but not sure what to get as far as the shifter, as most of them are 5 gear + reverse.

I personally use the TH8A from Thrustmaster. All metal construction, hall effect sensors. This can be a standalone shifter. Cost is about $150 USD

The other most commonly used shifter is the Logitech Driving Force Shifter. Cheaper cost at around $60 USD, but also made entirely of plastic. Also only works with Logitech G29/920 unless an adapter is bought. Cost of the adapter is $29.00 USD.

Fanatec also makes a stand alone shifter but it is even more expensive than Thrustmaster at $200.

See if you can find a used Logitech Driving Force GT in good condition.

I own a Logitech and it's a good wheel. I advise going with a Thrustmaster, though, it's better and you can buy it in components as you can afford them.

The reason I bought the Logitech was that it was on a deep sale, something that happens more with Logitech than Thrustmaster.

The TH8A shifter is great. It's expensive, but it's quality. You can use it as a stand-alone controller as it has a USB adapter, or you can mount it as a Thrustmaster component.

Sharing a more concise budget amount would help people give you better advice...what is the price range you want to stay within?
