I want to get into not very serious sim racing so I need to buy my first setup. Direct drives are not officially available here and import taxes are so high that things like Moza R5 or Fanatec CSL DD cost around $900-1200 (if I buy 3 pedal set too which is necessary) which is not very acceptable. There are quite a few deals on used belt-driven wheels though and it looks like the ones in the title are the best ones I can get (the price is around $500-600 for full base+wheel+pedals bundles). Though I'm not sure if the Fanatec one has table clamps included which is very important for me and can be quite a hassle if they aren't. There's also stuff like T300 RS GT and T248 (even new ones) but they are significantly worse afaik so I don't say much about them. Anyways, what do I choose in this case? I mostly care about balance (e. g. T248 is powerful but slow which doesn't allow drifting) and quality of FFB. I don't need any load cell pedals (physical disability -> not enough strength to use them) or console compatibility (I play only on PC) which makes the choice even harder.

EDIT: I found a way to get a DD for an almost acceptable price. Now I'm mostly looking at Fanatec CSL DD

As per title, I'm trying to join the official server of Shutoko Revival Project, but it crashes AC every time.

If I play single player or join a different server racing on SRP, AC doesn't crash.

Tried latest untested CSP (0.2.2) and 0.1.79, on latest I get a generic crash message, on 1.79 I get an error with CSP.

I tried reinstalling the track and the cars, no change.

I also have a crashlog but I can only read about missing cars textures and such, which is strange since it doesn't happen if I play single. If there was an issue with those textures I woulnd't be able to play single either, would I?

This is on Linux.

Thanks in advance!

I can't access their Discord server since it's gated behind a phone verification, that's why I'm trying here

What is the simulator that you drive the most? Do you have one main sim or multiple ones?

Seen a few articles where people have replaced the elastomers in other pedal sets with springs, has anyone done this with Sprints? I'm feeling to do this based on steel springs being more durable than rubber blocks.

Looked into it a little myself, but this isn't my area and not really sure what id be looking for.
