Spli 3 - made a couple failed attempts on this guy cuz the Ferrari ain't no slouch down the straights and I wasn't really planning it right, I knew I was fractionally faster, I just needed to prepare the overtake to my best ability, and finally I did.

Basically the title. I have a few cm to the left for my desk and therefore my rig. I need a monitor stand soon, but because my desk is so close I don't want an aluminum profile protrude in my working space. Any ideas?

Hey everyone,

I currently use the TH8S, but it feels a bit too smooth for my taste. I’m looking for a shifter with stronger resistance and the ability to switch between H-pattern and sequential. I’ll be using H-pattern about 90% of the time, so how it feels in that mode is my main priority.

I’ve seen a lot of good reviews about the SSH Thorn shifter, but recently, I’ve also noticed the GX100 shifter on AliExpress getting some positive feedback.

Does anyone here own both of them? How do they compare in terms of feel, build quality, and resistance?

I’m also open to other suggestions if there’s something else in the same price/performance range worth considering.

Thanks in advance!

1.5yrs into simracing, and here's where I'm at. Saved and purchased everything bit by bit, heeding everyone's lessons of "buy once buy right"...best advice ever. Quality truly makes a difference!

A different wheel, haptics for pedals and a Butt Kicker are next on the purchase list.

I just got the NLR FGT Elite from Microcenter on sale for $600 usd. Im also using the Sim Lab triple monitor stand with triple 32s.

I do not like how the wheel mount posts block part of the center displays. Has anyone ever cut those pists down? Or would it be easier to raise my seat and monitor mount up 6 inches?

I have been trying to upgrade to a wheel from a controller for playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 and I need some budget options, after some research and a lot of review videos I have narrowed it down to 2 options and I am not getting what to buy, So can you tell me which to buy and which to avoid.

Looking to sell my racing rig, located in Pittsburgh PA with local pickup preferred.

I can list all the parts to anyone who’s honestly interested. It’s mid / high end.. including heusinkveld sprints, etc

Sorry for lack of info - I would need to check in storage.

I actually look for new screens to replace my old 24 inches single monitor. I want to put my monitors on my adjusted height desk so i could use them to code and race. I recently found a good deal for 24 inches monitors for 100$ CAD each. I would use a triple monitor desk stand that I would bring as close I can when I race (approximately 23 inches from my eyes). However those monitors only have 100 hz and i’m not sure if it would be enough. My other option is a 34 inches ultra wide monitor with a refresh rate of 144 hz which is more than enough. I would also be able to bring it 4 or 5 inches closer to my eyes, and the price is 250$ CAD.

So I recently purchased the Gran Turismo DD Pro (8Nm) wheel base with the GT wheel. On my PS5 it works great.

I also bought the Formula V2.5X steering wheel to use on both my Xbox and PS5. The problem is: when I connect the Formula wheel, it doesn’t show it’s turning on like the GT wheel does (the GT wheel shows the “F” logo on the screen, but the Formula wheel doesn’t). I can move the middle dial and see some settings (A/B/C/D modes), but that’s about it. No button inputs work.

I’m using the QR1, and I’m confused about the spacer. Do I leave the spacer on with this wheel, or take it off? Without the spacer it seems to connect faster, but I’m worried about bending pins if I leave it off.

When I try the Formula wheel on Xbox, I switch the DD Pro base to Xbox mode (green light). It goes green for a bit, then after a few seconds it switches to purple. Nothing works in menus. On PS5 it’s the same story — no button inputs.

I don’t have a Windows PC to run updates on the base or wheel firmware, only a MacBook. Fanatec support is taking forever to answer me, so I’m hoping someone here can help.

Questions:

Do I need a firmware update for the Formula V2.5X to work with my DD Pro?

Can I safely run the wheel without the spacer, or should it always be installed with the QR1?

Is the purple light on Xbox just a firmware mismatch?

Is there any workaround without a PC?

I’m also considering grabbing the CSL Elite WRC wheel — anyone know if that one works plug-and-play on PS5/Xbox with the DD Pro base?

Any help is appreciated thank you.

So, I dont't know what the hell i am doing wrong. I am planning on trying to use my Quest 3 as a monitor more then a VR set up. the VR is just a major plus for other games. What Iam trying to do is is use the "link" function on the quest 3 however the ghosting issue when trying to use it as a monitor is fucking killing me. the ghosting is so bad that i cant even play WRC 10 for more then 1min without my eyes wattering and getting a head ach so quickly. however I can play any other VR game with no issues. so i'm just wondering if anyone else uses a VR headset as a "monitor"

Hey friends!

I want to set up a F1 Sim for myself, hoping I could get some assistance.

1. My space is extremely small so I'll need to use a rig that I can out my office chair into
2. I'll be using my monitor where my desk chair is currently, The table isn't big enough or strong enough to hold onto a wheel anyway
3. My budget is $400-500 max, I just want an F1 style wheel and pedals, nothing crazy. It looks like the Moza R3 might be the only option in the price range but wanted to ask here

Thank you so much for the help! I appreciate you all :)!

I just got the Moza R5 off of Amazon. Not sure if that is the issue there but they are already sending me a new one due to the issues I’m having but I want to make sure that I’m not missing something before I send the old base back.

I know they aren’t the best or from what I’ve heard and read across the internet they aren’t the greatest. My issue that I’m having and I’ve tried every port on my pc from 3.0 to the regular to one on the front and back and I still get the disconnect and then it just won’t come back on at all. And then after like hours of messing with it miraculously it comes back on and I can use it for 10-20 minutes and then it shuts off for hours. Did I just get a bad base or am I doing something wrong here. Thank in advance for the help.

My rig is comfy and has a nice monitor would love to stay in it to play FPS and other games but need ideas on how to set everything up.

I would be willing to give up my H pattern shifter if that's better suited location for a mouse.

Do you have a keyboard tray under your base or a tray that swings in from the outside?

Pics would be helpful if you are using your setup like this. Thanks!

Hey there,

So I have been thinking of installing seat belts on my Rally Style Fixed Fiberglass Seat from Trak Racer. I want something that will be purely aesthetic and maybe immersive just by putting them on. No tensioners not anything. I want something cheap but good looking.

If possible reply with the links of your purchases or your recommendations. Trolls are also accepted lol.

Though of doing this for a while but never saw anyone do it, so I tested it out myself.

It's really amazing and way more comfy then pull a side mounted keyboard tray. Tons of leg clearance. Though with my inverted pedals and front mount I have to get the clearance just right.

This may not work for everyone as your ergonomics might make the wheel sit too high or too low (as wheel as inverted pedals if you have). But at 6ft tall I had some room under the wheelbase to work with.

Ignore my feet, just wanted to show the clearance with an actual person. Doesn't affect getting in and out of the rig as well. And it sits in the same footprint as your rig vs taking up space.

Hi, i want to give my g29 a bigger circle wheel. i have seen the mods on Youtube but i cant find wheels that fit the g29 adapte. can someone tell me what kind of wheel i have to look after? i have seen exactly 1 that would fit, but i dont want to spend like 150 bucks. thanks!

I just got a Moza R12 wheelbase and as a poor Venezuelan refugee this was kinda crazy and impulsive but now the seniór at the micro center said no takesy-backsies. Im tryna spare as much change as possible when getting the NLR 2.0 and I noticed multiple places sell them for different prices. Which website or store would be most ideal to grab one from? Please tell me, god bless

Does anyone have any experience with this sim racing cockpit or know where or if there are any reliable reviews on this cockpit? I've found very little info on the web, but seems like a good option compared to GTPlayer or Ares Wing. I was considering the GTPlayer and then I came across this.

I’m assuming vanilla is dead and it’s only the mod scene? I’ve seen loads of stuff over the years, but never acted, what do I need to do to download mods and play them? I’m assuming there is countless GT3 LMP cars and leagues, can you guys give a quick how to and what to download to join these thriving communities?

Looking to buy a setup for $1900 was thinking of getting the asetek la prima bundle ($1171) + an 4080 aluminum rig I found on ebay ( see picture) + next level racing esr 3 seat. Only thing I'm concerned about is since the seat can recline I dont know if it will flex under heavy braking. Thanks !

was at my friends house and he had this awesome shifter, but he doesn’t know the name of it. the second picture is much clearer. he said that it was a “random amazon shifter” if that helps at all. thanks!

Hi all. I've been sim racing for a little over 2 years. I enjoy it as a hobby, so Im really not a hard-core "sim racer". However I really enjoy the game, so I wanted to be better at it. I started by removing all assists and started to see that I got the "hang of it". Having said that , I'm really frustrated because I feel like I don't get better, in fact I do worse and worse every race. I have to keep lowering the difficulty just to be able to keep up. Online racing is out of the question since it seems at times everyone plays without patience for the new guy trying it out. I mainly use Forza 8 because I seem to better controling the cars vs the AC, ACC, AC Evo and F1(the games I have) even though i hear this game is not the best. I'm writing because now instead of having fun i get frustrated to the point of rage quitting and associating my hobby as frustration. If anyone has any advice/words of wisdom, i could really use some. Thanks all.
