Discussing all things Sim Racing

I'm looking for some advice, it's been a few years since I was into sim racing (AC, PC2, iracing), now I'm looking to get back into sims - mostly offline at first. I have an older Logi G27 wheel & pedals and have recently moved to Linux (Bazzite).

From what I understand, these should work in Linux, however I'm interested in upgrades to make things better. The G27 is fine, wheel is ok and does the job for now (vs my skill level) but the brake pedal is my biggest issue in being consistent.

It's been a while since I've been up to play on hardware, is it worth finding a loadcell brake/mod for the G27 considering the age of this kit, or is it better to replace the entire pedal set with something newer?

I don't understand why all this info is hidden on discord/matrix. Yesterday, I installed AMS2 on my main partition and tried to find how to use my hardware. Info on my wheelbase (Moza R9) is easily available and getting it recognized and configured with Boxflat was a breeze. But nothing for my SimJack pedals. Pretty sure I only need some udev rules, but nothing publicly visible. I'm kinda sad I need to create yet another account just to get this information.

There is a lot of trial and error on the server, so a lot of the discussion is not really suited for something like Lemmy.

But someone on Matrix asked if there is a wiki, a couple of days ago. Maybe that would actually be useful.
