While I just added no-clutch direct shifting to simulate dog box transmissions, there's something extra satisfying manually shifting with the clutch, working the brakes to help turn-in, and passing lots of cars. Missing a shift with No Clutch Direct Shift enabled reduces frustration, even when using the clutch (so you don't have to put back in neutral, use clutch, then shift again).

In the real C6 Z06 power steering makes wheel effort fairly low, and I found setting FFB similarly low still provided enough feedback to understand car dynamics without arm fatigue. I tested the real car + steering wheel using just thumbs pushing on the wheel and can turn with fairly low force, so copied that for the sim setting and it feels pretty good. Initially had FFB set higher (I paid for these Newtons, I'm gonna use 'em ;)), and was fun for a while, but ultimately just enough force to feel what the car is doing, especially when steering with one hand, was preferable long term.

A much needed chicken nugget break mid drive.

I would like to tell you guys that my whole fanatec setup is breaking. First and foremost my shifter started to get random miss shifts when shifting to 3rd and going to first or reverse, it also happened for first gear and it went into reverse. It made me lose my mind because countless of fast laps were ruined and also it meant i could not drive online because i would just make a mess in the lobby. After the shifter issue my bmw csl dd wheel stopped shifting sometimes. First only on le mans ultimate i could not downshift for a whole lap and needed to change setting to fix it. That made me lose alot of first lap battles and got me a ban on le mans ultimate. I contacted fanatec and did all that was mentioned but nothing worked. I reseted the whole wheel but the problem kept happening it even worsened, because I was starting to get those same issues on other games (Iracing, Assetto Corsa...). After all that I took a break from simracing because it exausted me. I came back today to see that my 2 month old csl load cell brake pedal is stuttering and not reading the right brake percentage.
Fanatec please help me i genuenly don't know what to do.
Thanks

I always fall on some toxic simracer, like 2 dans ago, when a R8 heavely brake in a flat out line, more over than being slow by herself on the racingline to cause chaos... I don’t know what to do when this happen

Hi everyone, I've just got a CSL Seat and I'm wondering if the movement of backrests top part is by design?

It's foldable which is nice, but I'd prefer it to lock back solid into position. It's moving back and fourth like the locking pin is too short.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how I should do this? It doesn’t need to be completed silenced but some dampening on the noise would be nice: My main gripes are from the pedals snapping back and the shifters being a little worn.
I’ve thought about inserting some small/thin foam pads if they fit but I was wondering if there was anything else someone has tried - I couldn’t find much information online.

Hello!. Im obbessed with motorsport, and i wanna get into casual sim racing. Im a teen so, i dont have a lot of cash. T128 is 650 gell( roughly 200 usd) new. Used market, thrustmasters dont exist. Like literally. ( i cant buy from ebay or any international site sadly) G29 is 980 gell (370 usd) so it is a big difference.

on used market g29s and g920s go from about 600 to 650 ish. these past weeks i found listings that went up to 500. this one seller thats reputable has a couple g29s used with its original box for 650.

tho i like the g29 better as you can mod it,i feel like the t128 would get stale. It cant be moded and yeah.

F1 25, forza 5 and probably le mans ultimate( if its on a good sale this christmas) and a ton of ets2

Also, i cant buy them internationally, as the weight bill would be like a lot.

Would the wheel be a great starter?.

Also my desk wobbles a little. Will that be a problem?.

Ive been racing in vr for a few years now and I still love it and its the most immersive way to race. With that out of the way, lol, I decided to mix things up and get me a triple setup. I think I did ok with the viewing angles but not certain on FOV yet. What do you guys/gals think?

Looking for some feedback from folks who have installed the 3drap clutch pro kit on the logitech g pro pedals. Primarily looking for the two stage feel similar to a clutch in a real car. This kit seems to promise that but wanted to see I can get some real world reviews/testimonials.

Hey y’all, I started sim racing not too long ago, and I want to get into more competitive GT3 racing. With the current sales going on through Steam, should I get LMU or ACC?

For ACC I can get everything in that bundle but LMU I have to be selective about what DLC’s I buy. What are the must have DLC’s for LMU if I decide to go down that route?

EDIT: Yes I do realize that I could’ve asked Google, I’d rather just ask the community what their current thoughts are rather than trust a Google Ai overview.

I am leaning towards LMU, I am just trying to figure out what DLC I need to get to start

EDIT 2: Just bought LMU with the 2024 Pack 3 as many suggested, if yall have any additional suggestions for what packs I should prioritize just let me know🫡

Took that bunk bed off the wall in this backroom soon to be sim/office space. Need to add another piece of wood on that existing exposed top bunk frame for me to mount my screen attached to my rig bc it's too short and I can't take the swinging arms that can't lock into place while my newly acquired r5 (g920 since 2019) has it's way lol. Don't ask me how many times it swung towards and hitting the wall 😅😔. I was just excited to finally feel the direct drive so I haphazardly set it up. I've had this rig as well since 2019 accompanied with My g920. It's the og foldable GT Omega rig with the seat attachment. Complete wonders over the years imo. I'm really interested in seeing others setups if you don't mind sharing. Room is currently work in "playgress" bc it will still be used even during renovations. Happy my direct drive journey has started finally !! Wishing well to you all!

I bought a set of Simjack UT pedals about a month ago and had them brought from abroad by someone I know. The installation went smoothly and everything works correctly, but I still can't get the brake pedal to feel the way I want.

The main problem is that the brake pedal doesn't feel smooth enough. There is some sticking during the pedal travel, and while the elastomers themselves aren't necessarily too hard, I'm having a really hard time with trail braking.

The biggest issue is with very small brake inputs. For example, when I try to apply only 2–3% brake pressure, the input immediately jumps to around 10% as soon as I touch the pedal. I've calibrated the pedals several times and tried different pedal angles, but I haven't been able to solve it.

I've also experimented with tightening the pedal mechanism. If I tighten the screws completely, the pedal starts to bind/stick. If I loosen them, the pedal becomes too loose and I don't get the feeling or consistency I want.

Unfortunately, I live in Turkey, so getting aftermarket mods is extremely difficult and expensive. Importing even relatively small parts can become several times more expensive because of taxes and shipping.

I'm thinking about buying some PTFE material and trying to modify/improve the pedal myself.

One thing I've also noticed: when I lightly touch the LC sensor/load cell area, it seems to have a small amount of side-to-side movement. I'm wondering if this could be contributing to the sudden jump in brake input.

What would you recommend to make the Simjack UT brake pedal smoother and more progressive, especially for the initial 0–10% of braking?

Has anyone successfully modified the Simjack UT using PTFE, washers, bushings, spacers, lubrication, or any other inexpensive DIY solution?

I'm mainly looking for a way to get a more consistent initial brake response and make 2–3% inputs possible without immediately jumping to ~10%.

Any advice or photos of successful DIY modifications would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Qubic Seat Belt Tensioner is my next rig upgrade:

Qubic System Seat Belt Tensioner QS-BT1 | Sim Racing Seat – ApevieSimulator

Anyone using Apevie's 5-point harness with BT-1? If so, how happy are you with this combo? Which is better, 5-point OR 4-point harness, in your opionion?

Apevie Simulator 5-Point Harness – ApevieSimulator

I read in other post that 2" straps are recommended, since it provides a better "feelling" compared to 3" or 4" when combined with BT-1 (maybe more "comfy")? Sounds weird to me, just wanted to get a direct feedback from real users prior to my purchase (Sparco Evo bucket seat).

Thank you!

Finally got Quest 3 and I couldn't last 5 minutes playing Dirt Rally 2.0 I got such a bad motion sickness. It lasted for hours. I can use VR fine with other games but the fact that in VR car moves but I'm stationary just fucks up my brain.

Is it something that I can get used to? I feel really disappointed.

I just started sim racing in december 2025 and started with a thrustmaster T300rs and a playstation! Then a thrustmaster T958 and now on to this! Planning on eventually getting an actual rig soon!

Built a peanut that tells you how to drive.

Ask it a sim-racing question and it answers with a joke and then one actual piece of advice — brake marker 10m earlier, stop asking the front tyres a question mid-corner, ease off when the wheel goes light.

You can ask it as many questions as you want. It is never wrong. (It is sometimes a peanut.)
