Project CARS Initial Release Delayed

There is no pre-order poll for SteamOS/Linux , should have made a complain about it :><:
Preorder

(unless when they are saying pc they mean Windows,Mac,Linux)

Steam dayONE FTW!

I dont mind a delay. As long as the game is polished on realese day.

I want this game so badly! It doesn't matter if the console and Windows gamers don't get it now. I just hope they make the game the best they can. A real racing simulator is definitely one of the things really missing from my Steam library on Linux.

If the game turns out good i am going to buy myself a nice set of steering wheel. Are there any good ones that are working on Linux?

i think the best sub 150€ wheel for linux would be the Logitech Driving Force Pro.

Has anyone tried this yet? I know some early backers have access to builds. Not sure if there are early builds available for Linux or not, I'm guessing not. I know windows builds are, one leaked the other day.

Thanks. It actually looks quite nice. :)

Does it work "out of the box" or do you have to compile drivers manually? Nothing wrong with getting my hands dirty but drivers thats already in the kernel are less likely to break during upgrades and are usually less annoying. Usually when buying new hardware i try to support the manufacturers that are supporting Linux by making OSS drivers.

it used to work by compiling LTWheelConf (GitHub) 3 years ago, then in late 2012 it got obsolete by beeing merged into the kernel (Readme on that).

So yeah it works out of the box, given your kernel version aint too old. i must admit tho that the only "racing game" i have ever played with it in Linux is Euro Truck Simulator 2 - which was fine but without ForceFeedback (but that seems to be a problem with the ETS2 port itself, not the wheel - read here. in general people seem to be very pleased with logitech wheels in linux and thats why i bought it in the first place.
the wheel itself is top notch but comes with very basic wheelshifters and brake/accelerator unit. i would say its a wonderful product if racing is not your main genre of gaming but you want to have a good time when playing such a game every now and then. its very good value for the money.

Bad news. Really looking forward to this game, already knew it was deleyed for Linux, but now it will probably be deleyed even more. :/

If you want to step up a bit on the price I recommend the Logitech G27 wheel. It´s really nice and with a good feel. I´d say that the clutch and the gears will add a lot of extra enjoyment of racing, so if you don´t sit on a real tight budget, I´d go for the G27 or another good wheel. I´ve used it in Linux, I think I had to configure it a litte bit with LTWheelConf, but it was easy (I´m still calling myself a Linux noob). The problem is the lack of games. It works with ETS2, which I love, but like lave said, the force feedback doesn´t work, and for me it ruins the whole experience. I also managed to get it working with Iracing, which is not native but has a .deb installation package. I didn´t like the game though, so for now I have Windows on my main rig mainly so that I can race properly.

Thanks. To bad FF won't work with ETS2 as i already own it and used to enjoy it some times ago with a PS3 controller. I was thinking about continue when i got myself a driving wheel since a controller is not the best tool for a driving sim. The devs are still patching ETS2 and they have also announced a Scandinavian expansion, so i hope they can solve the problems till then.

Thanks. I'll probably go for the G27 then.
