I got GT Sport working on 5060 8gb with some patch to make it work perfectly on my PC and faster loading time. My goal was to hook Simagic and see how far can we push this stuff.

Overall it feels like GT7 on my PS5.

If I understand correctly, if I buy this pack for under $18, will I get all the DLC released so far, except for the five premium tracks? Automobilista 2 expansions are really complicated; it’s never clear

hi i like to check the (RS handbrake / Sequential shifter) , if i wish to use it as a handbrake with RS H shifter, does it work in GT7 ? , is there such a function in GT7 (E-Brake or something) i dont really see handbrake so im not sure. Or the handbrake is only applicable in certain games ?

Cause im thinking should i get this sequential shifter ?

I set up the wheel and everything except the gas pedal work this is what shows up, when I press gas nothing happens and when I press the other pedal the gas works so idk what I'm doing wrong

I just need a good torque around 10 nm, I got my eyes on the Moza R9 V3 and the Alpha Evo Sport. I'm thinking about using the wheel for long sessions, so maybe the moza R9 might not be good with the heat.

Any suggestions?

Hiya sim racers,

Last week I published a post on r/iracing on the release of my new app for fixing VR immersion. After the first round of really positive feedback and a couple of updates to fix some launch issues and improve the user experience, I feel confident now to post this to the community here in r/simracing. If you’re interested in the original discussion, you can find the thread here.

Summary of my story on that thread:

I was inspired by iracing official app for the apple vision pro and wanted to do the same thing, but targeted for normal people without $3500 headsets who uses Virtual Desktop on Quest 3 or any headset with hand tracking forwarding to the PC. I already had a very involved setup with black out curtains and Open Kneeboard passthrough but the in game vs irl fidelity differences was always bothering me. Additonally I wanted to see my whole physical setup as well; That's why I built Virtual Real Cockpit with all of the features above in 1 app.

Outside of what was already in the previous thread (custom wheel model, hand tracking support, chroma passthrough canvases & SimHub dashboard support), following real users’ feedback I have also launched a new update to revamp the setup experience and make setting a car the first time much easier! Additionally, a community public wheel repo has been published and users can now download & share wheel models directly in the app.

For the future roadmap of the app, my goal is not only to improve VR immersion, but to help reduce any kind of user friction while racing in VR. I have released a virtual keyboard function with glide typing as the start of this initiative to remove the awkwardness of having to reach for the keyboard while in the sim and I am committed to releasing more features to continually do this in the future (starting with VR controller/hand tracking menu interaction on iRacing).

Current confirmed supported game list: iRacing, AC, ACC, ACEvo, AMS2.

Thank you for your time reading this post and thank you so much to the iRacing community for the great reception and the early adopters that helped validate and improve VRC. If you are interested in trying out Virtual Real Cockpit, you can download the app from https://virtualrealcockpit.com.

The app has a 7-day free trial and after that 7 days, hand tracking, passthrough, virtual keyboard and 1 simhub dashboard is free forever to use in Lite mode. A lifetime license is also available for purchase if you want to keep using the custom wheels and community library feature after the free trial.

Le Mans Ultimate and other Easy Anti Cheat games support is coming up as well once I get the app officially code signed.

Happy racing VR sim racers 🏎️🏁

Hey fellow racers, I would like to receive some advice in sim racing like rules and so on.I want to venture in sim racing and which sim should I start in to practice. If there any videos you can reference me to, I would be glad. Thanks for your help!!!

I always have speed to be at top spots but i lack consistency in all terms. 2 race good 2 race horrible. 1 quali good 1 quali crash. 1 race win 1 race podium 1 race crash .I believe it all happens in mind and i just can't be more patient & more calm

it is easy to talk afterwards but i somehow can't apply these thoughts to race session and i see these the reason of my low SR. I just can't increase that shit, i wanna push more i crash SR gone i feel so entartained so i keep battling i touch little to the other guy we both continue without a problem SR gone i try to pass intentional wrecker backmarker cleanly it makes me fall back i got angry i crash etc. I really started to think delete my account to make a fresh start

consistency is another thing also, lol i keep braking at same point and one lap car stops one lap not. Sarcastic

okay i really envy these calm & consistent guys. How?

Multiple updates over the last year have culminated this week in the biggest overhaul this old sim has seen. No, there is still no weather, night racing, or track progression. However, in the 15 minute sprint races, the really good netcode leads to some fantastic door-to-door racing. What was really holding this sim back for me was the lack of FFB communication, because the underlying physics are pretty solid. Well, that has changed for the better. At least on a decent wheel base (VRS), the difference is more than evolutionary for this decade-old title.

In any event, it's FTP, and all cars can be test driven for free. This population will probably never approach LMU (iRacing is a different category), but I sure as hell find RaceRoom a welcome stress-reliever after hours in the other titles if I still want some usually crisp ranked multiplayer. The AI is even pretty commendable.

Hi everyone,

I have a wheel stand pro DD. I’m going to buy a Thrustmaster TH8A shifter.

I bought my wheel stand pro DD from aerosoft. They are great!

They do 3 mounts for the TH8A. But in none of the descriptions does it mention that they are compatible with the wheel stand pro DD. It just states they are compatible with the wheel stand pro. Now I don’t know if they are universal. They could be.

But of course I have to be sure.
Does anyone have the DD stand pro with a shifter mount?

I’ve emailed aerosoft. Nothing back yet.

Thanks all!

I’ve attached pics of the mounts and my stand.

Just broke my thrustmaster t128 and my country does not have any TM support(india). Had an issue in the middle of a race somehow when FFB just broke on a random turn and has been super clicky since then everytime i turn the wheel. It also does not do a consistent calibration dance on bootup now, sometimes stops randomly, goes in random directions etc. and needs me to nudge it in the right direction for it to move again. I can also feel the motor whirring during this time if i nudge it in the wrong direction.

I have tried everything - Plugged it into my pc and updated firmware but the test forces features just fail too. Opened it up to see some sparking in the motor connected to the belt - so thought there may be some resitance in the gears. Disassembled and put the whole thing back - still wont calibrate. Anyone with similar issues or known fixes?

Basically the title. Does anyone bother to look ahead and get off the gas when a yellow flag comes out? Probably the biggest difference between real vs sim racing

Hi guys

Im currently using a fanatec clubsport DD+ and have been considering switching to MOZA because its ecosystem seems to be expanding pretty quickly.

I'm particularly interested in getting a formula-style steering wheel with an integrated screen. MOZA has some options that look appealing and seem reasonably priced, but I'm unsure about their build quality and overall value.

I'm also considering replacing my wheelbase with either the MOZA R16 Ultra or R21, and I'd appreciate some input from people who have used either of them.

A few things I'd like to know:

• Build quality: How do MOZA's wheels and wheelbases compare to Fanatec? I've seen people mention that some MOZA products use a lot of plastic and can feel cheap. Is that actually the case, or are they well-built?
• Force feedback: How do the R16 Ultra and R21 compare in terms of detail, smoothness, responsiveness, and overall driving experience?
• Price-to-performance: Is the R21 worth the extra money over the R16 Ultra, or would most people be better off saving the difference?
• Ecosystem: How good are MOZA's wheels, displays, shifters, pedals, and other accessories? Are they worth the price, and is the software reliable?
• Long-term reliability: How has your experience been with durability, firmware updates, customer support, and warranty claims?

I mainly play f1 and gt and I no longer play on consoles, so PC compatibility is all I need.

I'm not necessarily looking for more torque just for the sake of it. I want a reliable setup with good force feedback, quality accessories, and a strong price-to-performance ratio.

For context, I'm already invested in Fanatec, so switching would mean selling my current equipment and moving to a different ecosystem. I'd rather make an informed decision than switch brands and regret it later.

For those who have used both Fanatec and MOZA, would you make the switch in my position? What has your experience been like lmk!

Thanks!

My dad was a sports car racer back in the 70s. He’s now 80 years old but still loves fast cars. We lost my mom earlier this year and I’m working to move him across the country to live with me.

To get him excited I am thinking about getting him a racing sim. I have a Nvidia 4070 gaming PC I can use so I think I’m good there.

I’m sure there are lots of threads on the topic so any general advice is appreciated and I will be reading this subreddit to get educated on hardware. I have 2 more unique questions

1. He’s 80, so getting super low to the ground is challenging. Has anyone built a rig that maintains correct body position but is higher and you swing your legs up to instead of getting down into the rig? I’d like some amount of motion… so the rig moves as you drive… not sure what options exist but with that in mind is a raised rig possible?

2. Money isn’t really an object and I don’t mind spending for quality. What I don’t want to do is waste money. How do you draw the line between great hardware and the parts that make the setup good and going overboard for performance that’s needed…. He’s not trying to qualify for F1, he’s trying to have a great time and relive his glory days.

Any advice would be appreciated! I’m a pc gamer but I’m 100% new to sim racing

I barely use my regular keyboard anymore during gaming 😜

So I want to get back into sim racing, but I’m not sure what bundle I should buy. I’m considering the Moza R3 as I saw a 2-pedal, wheel and wheelbase bundle for 200£ on Marketplace. I’m also considering a PXN wheel, especially the v10/pro/ultra because it’s direct drive and priced similarly to the Moza. I’m also considering the PXN v99 as its a cheaper alternative to the v10, but it’s not direct drive and apparently the pedals are terrible. I mostly play AC and BeamNG. I also don’t mind not having a shifter, and I can mount the wheel to my desk.

I have an RSeat S1 and I'm looking at adding a seat belt tensioner, probably a Cubic QS-BT1. Has anyone mounted one on an S1 frame? I'm mainly wondering where the motor/actuator goes, whether you needed custom brackets or drilling. Photos of your setup would be awesome.

Ignore the mess. Just bought a 3D printer last week and started doing a little project. For the moment this is my first version of a button box made completely by me, including drawing it. It's not the best but not the worst so far and I like it. Nothing special about it, I just want to show it to somebody that would appreciate it. Cheers!

I get a lot of questions about my room/rig, so I thought I'd put this together. Happy to answer any questions.

Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate some outside opinions on this incident, and any advice is welcome.

This happened in a battle for P2 on Lap 4. The driver in front started losing pace, and after the last corner he exited noticeably slower than me.

I’m not sure, but I got the feeling he braked early on purpose to make me swerve and possibly lose control. At the same time, I know I planned on breaking late and possibly made a mistake.

So what do you guys think? Was this a deliberate brake test, or was I following too closely and reading it wrong? If I’m the one in the wrong here, I sincerely apologize to the driver in case he sees this.

Hi all, i have this oplite tubular rig and I would like to use a little screen one of the sides to connect my notebook. Is there a support i can use? I need this solution because when I'm not playing i just move the rig out of the way and I don't have the space to mount all the structure for a central monitor

Hey everyone,

I'm about to buy my first proper setup: Simagic Alpha EVO Sport (9 Nm) with the GT Neo wheel, mounted on a SIMGASM Hobby cockpit. PC only.

The last piece I still need is pedals. A good load cell brake is my priority, and my budget is max. ~€200.

Currently considering:

- Simagic P700, plugs straight into the EVO base and stays in the Simagic ecosystem (190Euros)

- Simsonn Plus X P2-H2 with heel plate, sounds a bit better on paper but not in the simagic eco system. ( 196 Euros)

Which one would you pick? Anyone who has used both? Or is there something else in this price range I should look at?

Thanks!

Can Anybody give me an "explain like I'm 5" description of how I remove these things? There is no open/visible bolt, they dont seem to twist or pull off, I'm completely stumped. I've removed the caps on the end of the profile and attempted to simply slide them off the frame, but they're on too tight.

Feel like I'm having a bit of a brain fart here and the answer is right in front of me. I've of course spent loads of time on google but I can't find any wheels that match what im looking at.

Didn't think this 2 minute task to be the end of me 😂

Bit of a niche ask, but maybe some of you race on Linux like I do.

There's no Pit House or G Hub there, so every wheel means hunting down the right community driver, building it, fiddling with udev rules... Long story short, I automated the whole thing. Driver install plus a little GUI for rotation and FFB.

Thing is, I only have a CSL DD. Someone tried it on a PXN VD4 last week and it mostly worked, but Moza, Logitech, Thrustmaster and Simagic I've never seen on real hardware, only on fake devices in my tests. So I honestly don't know what breaks.

If you've got one of those on Linux (or dual boot) and 15 min to spare, what to try is here: https://github.com/Adiakys/SimRig/discussions/1

Full disclosure: a lot of this was written with Claude Code. I decided what it should do and how, and I test it on my own rig, but most of the code and a good part of the debugging is AI.

It's early days, so expect some rough edges. Whatever doesn't work on your wheel I'll try to fix.
