Best budget step up from G29

[SeeGeeAitch]

Hi all.

I've been using a G29 for the last couple of years but I'm really getting annoyed with the dead spot in the centre of the wheel. It feels to me like it's getting bigger. Or it's because my driving has improved that I feel it more now.

So I'm thinking of the next step up.... Budget is main issue. I can't spend thousands of AU$ on something.

What would you recommend? I'm guessing a wheel which is belt driven...
The Fanatec CSL Elite perhaps? It's under $1000 but nowhere in stock at the mo. Also I don't think it comes with pedals - can't imagine the G29 pedals will be compatible?

TIA

I think the general order of quality/price goes Logitech > Thrustmaster > Fanatec. If you don't want to go all in with Fanatec there are some great Thrustmaster options that are much better quality than Logitech.

I've not got any problem going all in with Fanatec, it just depends how much it's going to cost.... If pedals and wheel (+rim) are going to be $800 EACH then that's going to be a prob at the mo.

Which Thrustmaster options would you recommend? Is the T300 going to feel better (ie no dead spot) than the G29?

I'm not sure, I have a G29 too. Post in the Sim Hardware thread and you'll get some good info
