Chris, Pic of your setup?

I use an old Momo Force Feedback, but want to step up to a G27 or G25.

So far my favorite drive simulation is Project Cars, particularly for the Nurburgring. Followed closely by GT6, then Forza for modifying cars.

My PC is windows 7 or I'd put forza horizon 3 on it.

Here are some pics of my rig. (Sorry for the dust and dog hair...our two dogs unfortunately love to hang right here.)

I can say from experience having had various Logitech wheels and others over the years, this Fanatec stuff is in a different league. Before you go look at prices, you may want to have a drink in your hand. It's a German company.

The Playseats are not horribly expensive, and can be found on ebay/cl. The monitor stand I got isn't the greatest but supposedly can hold up to a 32-34".

The tiny amp is pretty neat, a cheap imported thing but the key for Xbox use is Optical input. I think it's a Class D that puts out like 50WPC... It is only used as a sub amp for the shakers as there's a small soundbar under the monitor, but normally we use headphones for the main audio.

It's been a many year project (started as a PS2 and Logitech Gxx, IIRC), and there's always more you can mess with. SIGNIFICANT fabrication and cable management (haha) has been entailed. My next plan is to bolt the whole rig to thick plywood for rigidity and to make it slightly easier to move around. Without a solid base ("floorpan"), it flexes too much in-use and also is a bitch to move.

There's another PC & XBox racing sim called Asseto Corsa that I plan to check out as soon as I can drive again (that's a story for a different thread).
