    I ordered from simracingbay OSW kit with Big mige. Some say it was senseless, some say that the big produces more natural feeling due to its inertia. Whatever the mige I cannot imagine 1;1 Nm in my rig

    Best investment ever. You will love it. I got the large mige from simracing bay and can't fault it. Can't believe how much feeling you get from understeer etc and different surfaces. I had a go earlier on the new Scottish Highlands track on assetto. You drive over cobbles and it generally does feel like it

    I hope so it is going to be a good investment ;-) as it cost me some Euros I could have spent on other things, but love is love, when you love you forgive. I read so many forums and watched all possible yt video to decide whether to buy small Mige or Big. My initial idea was to buy Fanatec CSW v2 (now it is 2,5) with some light rim, but after some math and calculation it occurred to me it is better to invest in OSW than stock to CSW v2.5

    i was going to buy the clubsport wheel base and clubsport pedals about a year or so ago, but couldnt get my hands on them in the uk direct. im so glad i never as i may not own the OSW now. The only thing i dont like about it is its not compatible with the ps4 and i have mates that play online on it, although i would probably soon get bored anyway without motion.

    PS3 and GT5 were my first steps towards simracing. I have traveled long way to 2DOF, CV1 and OSW. I tried PS3 again but there is no coming back

    thats exactly the same as me mate although it may have been GT4, im not to sure. i popped round my mates and he had just got it on release day. i went out the next day and got it with a logitech DFGT wheel. I then wanted triple screens so got 3 of the same monitors which i still have on this rig, another 2 PS3's and another 2 copies of the game along with a racing seat. i loved it and then got the t500rs and th8rs shifter. after finding this forum it pretty much escalated from there. once i got the wheel i wanted new pedals so got the HE pro, which was another good invested. Im pretty much done with the exception of a real feel h shifter when i find one.
    The spending is far from over though, as i nicked the room which was going to be a downstairs toilet, for my sim room lol, ive got to build an extension on the front with porch, as the Mr's still wants the toilet.

    Pshh you kids and your GT4, GT5 shenanigans, Your only a true simracer if you started with GranTourismo ......the O.G Gangsta, Livin life on the Pix elated edge of control, but Dang that Menu music you could listed to for DAYS!!!!!!!...oh the memories.


    Lol in all seriousness, GT1 was most likely the root and cause to this crazy Sim addiction.

    The Origins of GT1 are pretty bad ass and quite a sneaky bold move on kaz's part.

    Well worth the watch if your a Sim Enthusiast.

    Guys, really interesting stuff but discuss anything that doesn't belong to the OSW in an other thread. Thank you :)

    My BigMIGE has been fixed up and set. I need to tweek software a bit to my liking, but generally speaking it is just mind blowing experience. Setup is not so complicated as far as iR. Tomorrow I will try Assetto with it. Now I need some sleep.

    Good afternoon, friends, how are you? I loved the idea of being able to make an FFB steering wheel!
    I'm building a lamborguin of fiber and would be ideal a steering wheel like this :)
    Would the friends here help me build one too?
    I use the google translator sorry if I misunderstood :(
    I have no knowledge, but I am very dedicated in doing!
    If you want to help me please let me know what I should buy to make a FFB :)
    I am very grateful!
    I'm Brazilian and as I like doing things it would be great to have my own FFB steering wheel :)

    Good to know ! Thank you for the answer, my friend!

    Could you tell me in which simulators this wheel is compatible?
    Corsican assetto, RF2, Iracing, motorist, etc:
