Is anyone running a truly helpful simulation setup?
Not sure if I'm going to get laughed at here (laugh it up, fuzzballs!), but I got an Xbox for the first time with Forza Motorsports. The physics and car dynamics are fantastic and it occurred to me that there might be great driving simulator options out there...
Ideally I'd like get a rigid setup with all controls (steering, shifter, 3 pedals). I'll spend money for a setup that would really help me learn how the car and the road interact.. I have a flatscreen and in addition to the car hardware, I'd buy a dedicated PC, software, etc for a good setup.
Is anybody running a sim setup? Is it a waste of money? RFactor mean anything to you?
Thanks all.

That looks great man! Tell me more, what's going on there and how you like it. I might be able to set something similar up in my apartment with one tv however. Is it running on a PC? did you built the structure yourself?
