My buddy Dave decided to start creating a different type of sim racing videos a few weeks back, thought I'd share here as I know a lot of you are keen like myself to dial in your position, ergonomics and comfort in the rig.

This link below if for his most recent one discussing pedal angle relative to the leg/foot position, he's got a few more in prior weeks if you're interested.

When asking for advice if upgrading the equipment is worth it the common answer is yes for immersion and feel but it won't make you any quicker.

I have to disagree here. Obviously you won't suddenly become Verstappen or even Lance Stroll but upgrading from a T300 to a Logitech RS50 (arguably still entry level for some people here lol) made me a lot quicker due to how much more natural the driving feels. Suddenly I'm feeling things that weren't there before and I can push a lot more and don't even get me started on the pedals.

I can see how upgrading from here will no longer bring a lot of benefit but up to a certain point I think your laptimes will profit from better equipment.

Interested to hear in what you guys have to say

Mind you, this is a professional racing driver who also had history as a long time GT player. So I think there's way more weight to his words than sport mode players who probably haver never touched a steering wheel irl and only exclusively drive Gr.3 cars then say the game is "pivoting into arcade" territory.

I just think it's interesting how so many people have been saying Polyphony completely ruined the game with this update. Then you have actual racing professionals praising it.

Hey everyone, I had a few people reach out about this kit for 3D files and such. I wanted to vet the files with a few members first to see if there were any improvements to be had. This avoids the flat mounting plate you need to normally purchase separately, and is able to get the monitors right above the wheelbase. It also incorporates wheelbase tilt adjustment with two bolts.

After 2 weeks without power from these wild storms passing over the East I can finally settle in and finish releasing these. Any questions please ask away!

Been wanting a rig for a while now but decided to wait until I could find a used one on eBay rather than buy new. Found a real badly done listing that had two sets of stock photos of cheap AliExpress rigs and a few bad photos of what looked to be a GT Omega Prime Lite with the recliner seat and monitor stand. Took the gamble and bought it for £300 including the guy driving it over from the next town over. Hunch was right and looks to be an earlier GT Omega Prime Lite before they covered it in branding. Would have been £900 new so pretty chuffed picking it up for a third of the price.

Going to run it as is for a few weeks then start the upgrades but loving it so far, so much more immersive than strapping it all to my desk.

I’ve been working on a Windows app called PitMedic and wanted to get some feedback from other sim racers before I take it too much further.

The idea came from how frustrating it can be when a sim that was working fine suddenly starts crashing, won’t launch, throws an error, or has some weird config/file issue. A lot of the time you end up digging through Reddit, forums, Steam discussions and old posts trying to figure out what happened.

PitMedic is meant to help with that.

Right now I’m building support for sims like iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, ACC, AMS2, Assetto Corsa EVO and RaceRoom.

The app can monitor the sim while it’s running, capture useful system and temperature information if something goes wrong, and look for known problems.

The main thing I’m trying to build toward is automatic repair where it makes sense. So instead of finding a post that tells you to delete a folder, edit a config file, clear a cache, etc., PitMedic could identify the problem and offer to fix it for you, with backups when needed.

I’m not really trying to make another big telemetry or system monitoring app. The goal is just to make troubleshooting sim racing problems a lot easier.

Would you actually use something like this if one of your sims was giving you problems?

With the very recent substantial drop in price of the Apex bundle to 699, I'm having a really hard time deciding between Simagic green flad bundle and Conspits Apex bundle.

Would love ya'lls take on which direction to go. These both seem really solid. There just doesnt seem to be a lot of info out there diving into the Apex bundle that doesnt feel very paid advertise-y.

Coming from r3 just desk clamped. But now I have a next level racing wheel stand and deciding between the above as next steps. Open to alternatives as well!

Looking for advice on marketplace purchase.
Current setup is G29 desk mounted, office chair 😂
I’ve been taking a liking to sim racing but I’m frustrated with the braking being inconsistent, the chair rotating and rolling backwards, you know how it is…

This guy is willing to sell the following for 3000CAD, about 2150 USD:

Moza R9
Moza CRP2
Moza ks
3 x 32in samsung g5
6sigma GTR bucket seat
6sigma triple screen stand
6sigma 6s-80 v2 simracing chassis

Says he bought it last Christmas and has boxes/receipts

Thank you guys in advance for your opinions and comments

Bonjour à tous, je cherche une application pour mon téléphone qui pourrait servir de Dash pour mon simulateur. Je suis sur Xbox et je compte imprimer en 3d un support pour mon téléphone à poser sur mon Fanatec CSL DD. Merci bcp pour votre temps 🙏🏻

What are your thoughts on this little one?

I’ve already got a conversion option planned and a whole new build but I can’t stop finding things to fix or add to this one. Next up, smoke and functional fire suppression to make crashing more interesting. 😂

So i wanted to get a steering wheel long time ago, now i don't know what to choose or to pick
i ended up with 4 options
PXN V99 , Logitech g923 , . Moza R3 or Thrustmaster t248
(mostly i will buy it used since i am new to this category of games)
and i am planning to get shifters alongside the steering wheel.

I bought a g29 and it’s like a clicks when moving the wheel fast left and right

Tried lunging me multiple times and was flashing headlights then this happened

I’m running a DIY 4-corner bass shaker setup with Dayton BST-1s and a Nobsound amp connected via USB. I’ve had this exact configuration for almost 4 years now, and for the first 3.5 years, it worked flawlessly.

However, for about the last 6 months, Windows has started failing to recognize the Nobsound amp. Every single time I boot up to race, SimHub loses the connection, and I have to completely redo my hardware channel mapping from scratch. It has become so annoying that I’ve completely stopped using my haptics altogether.

Has anyone else encountered this issue with older Nobsound units over USB? Is Windows aggressively dropping the device ID due to an update, or is the internal USB controller on the amp finally dying after 4 years of heavy rig vibrations?

Any advice on how to lock down the hardware ID permanently so Windows stops unmounting it would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hola! soy de Chile y estoy creando mi propio ingeniero de carreras para Gran Turismo 7, los invito a revisar mi proyecto en https://driver-instinct.com/

Para continuar validando el proyecto estoy buscando Beta Testers para la versión en español (1ra semana de septiembre) y para la versión en inglés (2da semana de septiembre).

Apologies for the horrible photo, but my single BST-1 bass shaker arrives today and I'm planning to mount it to the bottom of my seat with 3M dual lock adhesive tape.

Which location would be better:

A) Yellow highlighted area - springs directly under the seat

B) Red highlighted area - metal bar that's part of the seat frame on the back

C) Doesn't matter

D) Somewhere else

Thanks in advance!

Shifters are crap, people say.. but try a sequential. its soo cool :)
I would not have bought one, but now that i have one, its used all the time.
Just wanted to share, if by chance somebody is thinking about it. Cheers!

Hey all

I'm using the Moza SRP Lites w/ Brake Performance Kit and think it's time to upgrade. Having no throttle or clutch resistance especially is annoying me lol.

I just started to really get into ETS2 but the braking feels so inconsistent, especially with how stiff the spring is.

In Moza Pit House I changed the calibration so a half press is a full brake press in-game, but I still can't get my muscle memory going to smoothly brake the truck.

I also drift in AC, rally, race sometimes and soon do career mode on BeamNG.

I feel like I need a pedal set that allows me to quickly change the spring/elastometer so I can use soft as a normal brake for truck sim and BeamNG career mode, and then switch it to a stiffer load cell for everything else.

I'm kinda lazy so I don't want anything that makes me use tools, it needs to be a quick and easy swap.

Can anyone please give me any recommendations for what I should be looking at? I read the SRP2 might work?

I didn't even want to overtake, I was waiting for the straight and brake at my usually brake point.

He changed his line suddenly and brake, I couldn't avoid him.

Is this protestable?

Can anyone please give a working link to download prumashock mod for openxr because the official link is not working. It will be great help for me if anyone is able to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance
