Thanks. Can the G27 be mounted to a stand like the one Buck posted above?
Yes. Always worth checking but usually G27 wheel will fit most stands/rigs. The one below comes with pre drilled holes for G27. The G27 is the right hand image of the 3 in the banner.

The G27 is pc/ps3 only. You might want to decide if you want pc/ps4 or pc/xbox one compatibility. I went with the Thrusmaster TMX which is pc/xbox one.

Doh!!
FYI - since you've changed your theme to white when you copy and past something into a forum post it shows it in grey which is nearly impossible to read for anyone using the normal theme.
Seems like the them would automatically adjust for this but it doesn't.

Got my Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition and T3PA pedals today... after I shower and complete my honey-do list for the evening, I'll be installing them on my Playseat Evolution cockpit and hunker down for some serious racing!

A lot of people swear by these things where it all bolts to the unit and folds up easily to go in a closet, against a wall, under a bed in some scenarios, etc
I have this stand with my G27 mounted to it and I love it. I have a second one with my flight sim stuff mounted as well. Folds down flat so you can slide it under something for storage.

Ricky, is that Amazon price ($190 USD) a good price or should that be shopped a bit?

OMG!... OMG!!.... OMG!!! I was a bit late getting my wheel setup due to some family commitments, but I've just had a 45 minute session with the TX Leather Edition with the T3PA pedals in Forza 6... fellas, it was a spine tingling, euphoria enducing, religious experience!!! I had high expectations for this setup after watching the gurus at Inside SimRacing endorse it, but my GAWD... I'm speachless!! You feel every frickin' nuance of the car handling with fluid precision. I turned in my best lap ever at Lime Rock Park in my 2005 Mazda MX-5 (B class), in my third race with the TX.
It's incredible how well made this Thrustmaster TX is and how silky smooth the steering mechanism is.... all you feel is the force feedback and road forces. The fact that I was able to sense such subtle grip forces, even as only one tire was losing grip, made a huge difference in my ability to keep the car in control. I was also able to better handle the recovery actions following some rubbing with my competitors. Events that would have resulted in a spinout previously, I was able to get a handle on with a minor fishtail, and holde my position. I'll be trying out some of my PC racers here shortly, but this wheel and Forza 6 are a match made in Heaven on the XBox One!
Folks, this combination is an absolute steal at $299.99. I puts my Logitech G920 to shame, and I paid $100 more for it. Needless to say, I'm one happy camper right now!!
Buck, I'll get some pics up tomorrow; my daughter is the camera buff, I'll get her to handle that for me.... I'm so excited right now I'm about to tinkle in my skivvies!

If I didn't have a rec-room, with enough space to leave my Playseat Evolution cockpit permanently setup, this would be my choice of mounts. It's a brilliant design!

Glad to hear the TX is working out well for you. What an amazing deal you got. Curious to see what you think about the FFB on Forza vs. Project Cars. In my limited experience, Forza APEX had the best FFB. We got to hook up for a race on the Ring!

The force feedback I got in Forza 6 on the XBox One was actually better than what I got using the default settings for Project Cars (PC). I did change some things in the Advanced settings in Forza 6, but I'm more familiar with them and how to get what I want out of it. Project Cars settings in its advanced force feedback menu are so esoteric, I'm not sure what to adjust to obtain the desired results. The driving experience on Project Cars was easily better than what I had seen out of my Logitech G920, but I'm sure I'll be able to get even more out of it once I find some already tweaked settings for the TX elsewhere.
Forza Apex was an unmitigated disaster when I tried it. Before I could even get halfway around the track, the animation had slowed down and become so sloppy that it was in the single digits in frame rate. I couldn't quit it because the menu wouldn't respond. I finally had to ctl-alt-del to get to the task manager to end the program, but even getting that window to appear took between 5 and 10 minutes. I hadn't played Apex in months, so I have no clue what happened. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall it to see if that changes anything.

I guess I'm going to have to hunker down and get a decent setup for racing. I played Project Cars VR for about 45 minutes last night and it was awesome even with a simple XB1 controller. I can only imagine how immersive it would be with a good wheel and pedals.

I felt quite the opposite when I tried it in VR the other night. It left me very unimpressed (apart from the VR immersion - which is great with all games) as it felt so 'arcadey' especially when racing other cars. I actually preferred it on time trial. This is not a game I'm going to spend time on... unfortunately there's little else for the Vive at present unless you go the Oculus/Revive route, and I'm still trying to avoid the Oculus Store if I can.
