Great stuff Pat. Getting together a good little gang here. At this rate we'll be able to ditch the tempo challenged pixel golf and have a Forza league instead  I don’t know about that I still enjoy my golf as for driving I’m a bit of a Nigel Mansell behind the wheel 😜 This is more my style Les....  |

Do you guys use a wheel or just a controller? For Forza I use a controller but for stuff like Automobilista, Assetto Corsa Competizione, F1 and Raceroom I use a wheel. Difference being I use an outside car view for Forza and an inside view for the others! |

Difference being I use an outside car view for Forza and an inside view for the others! I prefer to use cockpit view with a wheel (G920) but Forza in the past has worked better with controller. However I've seen preview reports that the wheel performance is much improved on FH5 so might try this one with a wheel. I don't like the outside views behind the car so it's either cockpit or bonnet view for me, even though it can be much harder to see where you are going. It's the experience, man! |

I have the G29 but it's so clumpy as I've got it set up on a wheelstand and it's so much easier just to slam in a controller and race around in Forza. Tried the wheel in Forza Motorsport 7 and wasn't overly impressed so be interesting to see how they've improved things in FH5. |

Yep me too. Older Logitech g25 G27 with a wheel stand pro. Probably had about 800 dollars sunk into this setup when I was on Xbox, before PS4, before PC. Or was I using it with my pc. Can't even remember now. Actually think I was using it with my pc.
edited now that i googled it, it was the g27 with pedals and crap.
Hardly used it though
I can't be bother to lug that heavy stand out, plug it all in and crap. Controller for me

Controller for me I use the wheel for my other PC racers simply because I find them uncontrollable with a controller!! But most of the time I CBA to drag it out so I play something else!! lol |

Tried the wheel in Forza Motorsport 7 and wasn't overly impressed so be interesting to see how they've improved things in FH5. I play at my desk and simply slide the wheel across from the corner to in front of my screen and back again. I even did a bit of DIY to build my own pedal holder / footrest (see image) And then also replaced the wheels on my office chairs with non-slip feet. It sounds a bit clunky but it is really easy to switch over. My biggest bugbear is the G920 doesn't have a headset port for my wired headset so I have to keep a controller running anyway!  |

I've upgraded the game pass version to premium (as one purchase works for both XB and PC). Hopefully everyone will have played their rounds by next Thursday as there may be no time to do the scoreboard!! lol |

I wonder who I am going to be in Horizon.
On Steam I am Physical Graffiti. Which shows as that in golf.
But due to the cross play in MS Flight Sim I was Physical Graffiti154789587458965789577854478545525789554
So I changed my name via xbox app/page to get rid of the number and am N7201U (Led Zeppelins plane call sign)
So when I load up Forza is it going to give me Physical Graffiti154789587458965789577854478545525789554 or will I be n7201u?
I load flight sim via steam as I will Horizon. I better not get stuck with a stupid number crap again.
