Second upgrade - Load Cell Pedals

Six months into my journey, and I've gone for the second upgrade - Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals. I've read often about how important the pedals are, this had to be the next choice.


 Up to now I've been using the T3PA pedals (with canonical rubber modification installed) that came with the Thrustmaster T300 steering wheel. These were entry level potentiometer pedals. 

Load cell pedals aren't linear like the potentiometers - which is supposed to give you a better feeling leading to better braking. 

Note, these pedals cost over half of what I paid for the steering wheel. But the next upgrade - I think - is going to have to be a PC. This will by far be the biggest upgrade, most likely more than 4 times what I paid for the steering wheel - but from what I've heard, the PC is the place to be from an options (plugins) and performance (can you get the same laptimes on PS4 that you can on PC? I don't know!)

Since turning off the ideal driving line and stability control, I haven't missed it - I did struggle for a little bit without stability control, but it didn't take long to adjust. I've pretty much been driving the Porsche - with a short break trying out the Lamborghini and Audi - it sounds like the Porsche can be difficult to drive, with it being easy to spin - and I've certainly suffered from that. Next was to move on from Rookie mode to "Expert" - this reduces some of the assists and increases the realism. I've also been nearly exclusively racing with the Aggressive preset - which appears to be different across tracks. What helps is to map keys to the increase/decrease traction control - so that you can up the traction control a little bit when its hard to not lose the back end. Whats great since I started about 7 months ago is that somethings that were hard/frustrating are now becoming more fun: Navigating chicanes or hairpin corners - used to slow down
