  • I use a Logitech G920 with pedals and gear stick, which (as far as I remember) worked out of the box.

    I used to have the simpler (and much cheaper) Logitech Driving Force GT, which had accelerate/brake pedals, but didn’t have a clutch or proper gearstick, but did have a sort of “up/down gear changer” sort of thing.

    Anyway, they basically both worked on Linux.

    I use pyLinuxWheel for configuration, but think Oversteer is generally used by most people these days.

    [Edit]
    Logitech Driving Force GT
    between £30 and £150 2nd hand

    Logitech G920
    £100 - £150 2nd hand
    £170 - £230 new

    Try a £30 Driving Force GT. If you don’t like it, you’ve not lost too much. Resell it for £30 again. If you love it, but start dreaming of clutch control and manual gear shifting, then you know you need to invest more.



  • You should absolutely go for this, and don’t let yourself be disheartened if it doesn’t work out this time or in this specific opportunity - that competition is open to “all photographers on the planet Earth”, and from those submissions, will select a couple of hundred finalists. Those are pretty hard numbers to work with (for both the submitters and selectors).

    Framing rejection letters is a pretty good way to let yourself laugh at it if it doesn’t work out.

    Remember that you’ve got some interesting, fun and beautifully shot photographs, and that there’s many similar opportunities around - which you should also go for, regardless of how well this particular one goes :)
