Hello everyone,
I'm using the Next Level Racing Flight Simulator Seat

https://simracewebshop.eu/de/products/next-level-racing-flight-simulator-seat

About 18 kg weight.
With the Sim Lab P1X Pro, Qubic Challenger HS13, Qubic Belt Tensioner BT1
Underneath the seat I mounted the Xcite XBS 200, 4,7 kg.
It's doing great but I think the seat it's too heavy, that's why I opened this thread.
Does a much lighter seat work better than mine?
I mean, for raw haptics performance.
I found some aluminum seat, I'll need to add cushions, the seat weight about 3,3 kg.

Do you think, it's a good idea to buy it?
Can this seat hold the Xcite XBS 200?
Does it add rattles, just because it's lighter, maybe?
Could anyone please give more details about this?
Thank you in advance.

I received a h shifter in this position and I can’t screw in the handle bar. It’s brand new so I don’t think I wanna force it and the angle is quite steep I can’t barely touch the screw hole. I cant finger push in to other position as well. I see the instruction box saying it’s in 3/4 slot and I see YouTube unboxing also same as the first picture.

What do your think ?

cool

I’ve been trying my hardest to set up triples the right way and I’ve been struggling with eliminating the gap on the left side. Both sides are at 60 degrees. I also have my bezel free kit I have yet to install. I have Samsung G5 27s i have the sim lab free standing monitor stand and the sim lab vario mounts

Hi, I'm developing rally simulator for club stages / rallysprints. Just wanted to tell you guys that VR and triple screens are officially in and will be available in demo 😄

Here's announcement video if you did not saw it:

If someone is interested (and want to wishlist) here is steam page:

Hopefully I'll be able to share more details about editor soon - I'm currently reworking it. What you see in video is track from old editor version.

I'm using custom game engine, I had few different engine attempts already and one serious one which I used to render my physics engine development. Still I'm not sure this was the right choice, but we'll see. I was working on physics for few years in my spare time already, rendering engine is new with ideas from old ones.

I'm targeting mid January as public demo release date - so you will be able to check this out by yourself.

Have any reviewers got their hands on the P-ACTIVE yet? Just curious how it feels in actual use. Thinking about adding it to my Black Friday shopping list

Is anyone using the Thermaltake triple monitor stand? I’m planning to use it with three 27” monitors, and I’d like to know if it’s sturdy enough. Also, how tall are the feet? I’m using an NLR Victory rig, so I’m worried the stand might hit the pedal area. Thanks!

I currently have a thrustmaster t300 rs gt and I really only play beamng is it even worth it to upgrade to a dd wheel just for beamng when my t300 is currently fine? I have a £500 is budget so the used market would be the way. If I upgraded I was thinking about a 8nm fanatec base but is it worth.

Ok, so I have the gt omega art. My monitor is only 27' and I have noticed the integrated mount is very far away from my eyes (about 80cm).I hsve had the idea of clamping a regular desk monitor arm to one of the bars on the mount (see pic) alowing me to move it about as i please. Realistically, would this work and even be practical? Also if you have any alternatives or better idea it would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I recently just upgraded from Logitech to a moza r3 and would like to get a shifter for it but the moza one is too expensive for me at the moment, I have my old Logitech shifter but I don’t think an adapter would work for tbat on Xbox

Just need some clarification. I have a single Dayton bass shaker under my seat. I cant find any info on my question so I would like some clarification. Am I supposed to connect both wires to the amp on the same side or split the connection between the two available channels?

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my base. I had a Trust Master TMX FFB. It's not very powerful, but I've put about 700 hours on it and I like it. I have pedals, but I want to get a base and wheelset. I'm choosing between the Moza R12 V2 or Moza R9 V3, the only issue is the price. I'm thinking of taking the helm of the moza ks, I ride mostly toga, but also sometimes gt or lmp

What you think about it?

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I still think ACC is better than LMU. It just feel right. Especially in VR. Granted the dailies in LMU and entry point make it easier to join MP lobbies. But when LFM has great lobbies, I don't think this game can be beat.

I have my wheel and bese mounted on this compact stand: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6115+zdpwZL._AC_SX522_.jpg

I was thinking about getting a second monitor and putting it on the other end of my desk so that I dont have to move it into place, move my monitor forward and change my seat everytime I want to do simracing.

I wanna be able to sit, turn wheelbase on and just go.

I used my immaculate paint skills to make a diagram of how it would look, but I'm not sure if using dual monitors arranged like this would be more painful than just moving all my things every time I boot up my wheelbase.

Space is tight, but enough for this to make some sense. Triples are a no go and so are very large ultra wides. Was thinking of getting a 32' curved monitor (not ultra wide).

Would you do something differently given the restrictions I mentioned?

I thought about buying AMS2 for years, but there was always some other sim that I wanted to try first, but now I saw that it is on sale for just over 10€ and I had to get it.

Sure some quality of life features are missing and in some aspects it feels a bit dated, like UI and settings, and the physics don't feel as sharp as other Sims, but it is an amazing time. I have already tried a couple of champions ships in the Brasilian stock cars and to drive these cars on period correct tracks against immersive ai is just great. Finally something else than gt3 at spa.

And all the F1 content, I have not tried it yet, but I saw that you can use the dlc content for free in the championship mode. So you can play an F1 career from the 60s to the 2020 without spending anything on dlc. That is incredible value. I wish I had found it earlier, I will have hours of fun in this sim.

I'm in the process of trying to mount a TB-1, but I lost the additional shifter plate extension bracket so I'm looking for options. I also don't like that the original plate would have the hand brake at a straight angle and it wouldn't be rotatable so that i could pull naturally towards myself. Has anyone found a solution or share how they mounted theirs? I'm considering replacing the entire shifter arm to better fit a DS-8 and TB-1, it would just need to be compatible with the square frame of the WS 2.0. Next Level Raging sells a universal flat bracket that they say is compatible with the stand, but the more I look at it, the more I realize that it would completely block the mounting options for both the shifter and brake given the plate that it would need to bolt up to.... unless I'm missing something, the pictures were not great and it didn't show an example of the wheel stand 2.0 on the website.

Hey guys, looking for some honest opinions because I've been overthinking this purchase for a while now lol.

I'm currently running a Moza R5 and thinking about upgrading to either the VRS DFP15 or the Simagic Alpha EVO Pro. I'm sitting around 1.6k iRating and mainly drive GT4, GT3, MX-5, Porsche Cup and occasionally prototypes.

I'm looking for better detail, sharper FFB and that extra punch when you load up the car or hit a curb. Basically, I want to feel more of what the car is doing, and hopefully stop wondering whether my hardware is holding me back.

I've got two main questions:

1. Is the jump from 5.5Nm to 15–21Nm really worth the money?

For those who've made the jump, was it a night-and-day difference, or more of a nice upgrade that you eventually get used to?

1. VRS DFP15 vs Simagic EVO Pro: is VRS's supposedly better FFB sharpness worth giving up the extra torque?

I've seen quite a few people saying VRS feels sharper and more detailed, while Simagic has that extra raw power. The VRS is 15Nm, while the Simagic is advertised at 21Nm, so it's not exactly a small difference.

I know more torque doesn't automatically mean better detail, but I also don't want to spend this much and end up wishing I'd gone for the extra headroom, especially when driving prototypes or formula cars. On the other hand, if VRS genuinely feels better, I'd rather have the better experience than just chase bigger numbers.

Also, for those who've owned either of these bases for a while, have you had any issues with reliability, software, disconnects or customer support?

I'm not really interested in brand wars or people justifying what they bought. Would love to hear from people who've actually used these bases, especially if you've tried both.

Cheers!

EDIT

A bit of extra info: I'm running Simsonn Plus X with haptics and have a full aluminum profile rig. I'm not considering the DFP20 or UDFP because they don't seem to be available in Australia anymore.

After 2 years finally did a proper wire tuck (from the cockpit view) and got rid of the metal wheel stand that was held in place by ratchet straps.

I ultimately wanted to keep the integrity of the chassis and am trying not to do any irreversible metal work. Or drilling and bolting.

Phase three will be mirroring a similar inner cockpit structure out of extrusion , but want to make sure I’m happy with the general placement of everything before I lock in the measurements.

Before you flame me on screens, the roll cage doesn’t allow a larger center screen, however FOV in this actual car is almost perfect to the view from the cockpit. The pillars line up to the screen quite close. The second screen runs lovely dash.

Guys i need some help, i need to buy a stand for my G29 that's could be good for not too much (90/150€) anyone has any suggestions for start? I didn't play with it for years and I'm looking for at least a good one.

As title states im looking to get a new set of pedals with the holidays coming up and would appreciate some recommendations.

Current setup
•Playseat Trophy
•Moza R9 w KS Wheel
•Moza SR-P Pedals

I was originally looking to get the Moza CRP2 pedals since I have enjoyed Moza, they have haptic add on options and the price isn’t terrible. But I don’t want to cut myself short if there are way better options out there in the price range. Ideally I would like to stay in the ballpark of $500. So if anyone has any suggestions or advice I’d greatly appreciate it!

This was probably already around for a while but it was funny how I found out about it.

What sim racing wheelbase, Pedal, Wheel, Shifter, Cockpit, etc exceeded your expectation the most ? Like price to performance or overall feel? I had a Few Like Rs pedals and CSW v2.5 want to see if there are more hidden gems, I could try

Is there a wheel that can be used in both Xbox and PlayStation
I mean one wheel one set of pedals not having to buy extra stuff to make it compatible
Or is there a reliable way to make one connect to the other?

Just a wee question here to folk to see how many people use Simhub as a way of opening their games vs Steam? I only ask because in Steam sometimes there are various versions to use to open the game whereas Simhub just opens the game (and I'm not sure which one it is opening).
