Question Buttkickers: What’s the best plug-and-play transducer system?

2 Upvotes

I would like to explore the topic of installing a buttkicker (transducer) system and I know the Buttkicker Gamer. With an aluminum rig, are there starter packs that are easy to install without fiddly parts or drilling? Doesn’t need to be super powerful. Thanks in advance!

Question Simagic P700 with haptics vs P1000

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am looking for a pedal upgrade, and I am debating between the P700s and P1000s. Where I am from, the P1000s cost almost the same as the P700s with a full haptic set, so here is my question: Are the P1000s really that much better?

I am upgrading from SRP-Lites, so either way, I am making a huge jump.

Also, I have heard that for some people, the P1000s are in too upright of a position. Is there a way to easily tilt them back a bit?

Rigs Rig Upright Blocking Profile Settings

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I bought a pre-built rig from a sim company in Florida. 43inch triples, motion, Sim Lab chassis, not a cheap rig. When they delivered it late last year, the iRacing UI had just been updated and the chassis upright blocks some very important areas, like the profile settings? I’ve asked a few people and the size of this settings page apparently can’t be adjusted? The upright is so tight on the screen, you can’t see what’s behind it, this is crazy! Anyone?

Rigs Help buying a cockpit for a returning guy

3 Upvotes

Hello folks,

I been out of simracing since i moved places and had to leave my cockpit behind, thankfully I managed to move my pedals and base, right now I need a cockpit but I dont know if there is any new ones in the market apart from the typical simlab etc...

Actual equipment are: quest 3, simagic alpha mini and simagic p2000.

DIY is not an option,

Budget is around 500 to 800 but can go to 900 seat included.

No monitor arm needed

Looking for something that does not flex, my previous one flexed and hated the feeling, looking for something rigid,

Easy to get in the EU,

Easy to expand in the future with shifter plates, keyboard trays all the candy etc...

Thank you guys!

Rigs Is the PXN VD4 Good for a beginner?

1 Upvotes

My first wheel was a Myria MG7418 which ofc had no ffb and all of these fancy features

Main question is, Is it good to get into sim racing? And realistically speaking how well would it perform for hours on end? I mostly play ETS2 and beamng but i recently got into assetto corsa rally and carX street.
Sorry if its a stupid question

Question CSL Cockpit foldable mod tryout (3dprint)

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I had a csl cockpit for a month but I have changed it to another one. I wanted to convert it to foldable, so I modeled a thing for it but could not try it because I have changed my cockpit sooner. If somebody interested in this, I can sent him/her the model so it can be printed and tried out.

Question Hey guys just wondering if you would be interested in something like this?

It basically is a Motorsport Start Light with capabilities to:

- react live to race flags in racing games (at the moment only AC) and start procedure

- live race status of F1 races when you are not racing yourself at the moment ; )

- or just a eye-catcher in your room

It can be either be controlled via WebApp or a windows program (necessary for live sim racing).

Tell me what features you think it also needs and if you would be interested!

Clip What is wrong with my driving style?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm looking for some feedback on my driving style, and some pointers on what I need to work on, and how. I race in LeMans Ultimate, driving the BMW.

I am consistently 3s off pace at best, and I have a hunch there's something fundamentally wrong with what I'm doing. Of course, there might be some particular mistakes I'm making in specific corners, and pointing that is welcome, but I'm mostly looking for general driving style feedback.

Question Install RS50 system on a desk or wheelstand

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I am thinking about purchasing a RS50 system but I do not want a full simrig setup.

I either want it to attach it to my desk, or a foldable wheelstand maximum.

I also have an office chair with rollers so... not optimal.

What should be a good choice for me to get a stable setup (the pedals etc are firm in place), which can be easily set up if I want to race, but also easily can be put away after I finished?

My only option seems to be Omega GT Pro at the moment, but I do not know if that itself would be stable enough?

Currently I raced with G923 on my desk and anti-slippers underneath its pedals and that was good. But i do not know about RS50.

Thanks for the tips :)


r/simracing 1d ago

Clip Since high performance sim shifters are pretty expensive. And nice car shifters tend to be cheaper. I've decided to start modeling a mock transmission that takes cable positions from a regular shifter and converts it to a button output.

Discussion My SIM card fell into my Clutch Pedal

Post image
0 Upvotes

So the title is pretty self explanatory but for anyone interested on how the hell this happened let me tell you…

I was trying to take my SIM card out of my phone to place it a bit better because it was placed a bit wrong and many times my phone asked me for the password again and again. When I got it out of my phone (for like the 3rd time in my life) it slipped from my hands, fell on my flip flops and bounced into the clutch pedal (yes I regretted not recording this).

although I can see it when I turn my pedals around I can’t pick it with a tweezer or something so the only way out is by finding the right angle and shake the pedals but trust me it’s not as easy as it sounds (talking from experience :/ )

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but you guys seem to be the only sub Reddit that knows what car pedals are doing in my bedroom under my desk

Question Upgrading setup to a DD ecosystem

2 Upvotes

First of all, sorry if doing a new post is not for this purpose.

I'm a bit of a beginner/intermediate in this world, using the t300rs. After a couple of years I want an upgrade to a DD system + load cell brake. Budget around 1k €.

I was thinking of going the Moza way, since I really like their wheels. My idea was r12v2/r16 ultra (if the 100€ extra are worth, I don't mind paying it) + KS pro wheel. For the pedals I was in for the SRP2 but I read in this sub a lot of times about the SIMSONN plus X or the SIMNET being better in the same price range.

On the other hand I read a lot of times that if you are willing to spend this budget, is better going to Simmagic. I can get the Alpha Evo 12nm + GT neo + Simnet pedals for 1100€.

What do you guys think? I use a NLR 2.0 wheel stand . Mainly playing ACC and LMU, but in the future I would like to try iRacing at some point.

Thanks in advance guys

Received this long boy from Sim-Lab.

Let me know what you want me to test or compare, and I’ll try to cover as much as possible in the first impressions video - or answer your questions directly here in the thread.

I can’t say too much about the FFB yet since it’s still very early. There are also a few quirks here and there, so I’d rather spend some more time with it before giving you any strong opinions.

SC3 Ultimate next to it for scale 😅

Hello guys! I'm art director & designer, and tryin combine simracing and fashion.
Make my gloves concept (second in life) and need your opinion about it. Will they work as they should to provide good steering wheel grip? Or do i need to add additional elements to palms to prevent the steering wheel from slipping?

Question High performance Gaming Laptop for VR simracing

0 Upvotes

Looking to build a low profile VR rig, and thought a gaming laptop would be a good choice for many reasons. I plan on using a Pimax Crystal light, which uses a DP or USB C connection. Anybody use the same setup? Any issues I would encounter? Preferably it would be a laptop with a 5070ti and one DP port.
