Game controller for Car race and flight simulator - total noob
Hello,
I know nothing about video games, but want my 8 year old daughter to have the option to play some flight simulator and car race games. I saw there are a lot of free games from microsoft etc. So that should do. I also like to play with her, so may need 2 controllers. So far I just installed some free microsoft games and tried them out to play with the keyboard, which obviously is limiting. All our PCs have W10-64.
It looks like there are quite a lot of USB game controllers. Some examples i came across is this $80 PXN Racing wheel or this $40 Gameon Racing wheel dn this, but as you know there are thousands. As i said, i have no experience with any fo that. I don't mind to spend more $, but don't want to overspend given the occasional use of cheaper games ny an 8 year old. if we play a lot, i don't mind upgrading in some years. Some questions:
- What race wheel features do occasional players really need for typical features? I realize there are several options in feedback etc. but what is really needed?
- Can a PC game typically work with 2 race wheels?
- What joystick features are needed for flight simulators?
- What brands are good ones? I know Logitech has a lot of controllers, but I realize much PC hardware is produced in the same factory and then just re-labelled.
Thanks for any suggestions.
