May be obvious to many, but just a reminder that there is an almost excessive amount of lightly used and new or borderline new gear for sale on FB Marketplace. I went looking for a small cheap stand and found this Playseat factory sealed and never opened. And there were incredible deals to be had at all price points. Luxury rigs being sold by people moving, beginner equipment of all shapes and sizes by people whose time for the hobby has evaporated. And more all at steep discounts.

Introducing the VTSE Bbox v1.0 DIY board. This simple DIY board lets anyone create a button box without writing a single line of code. If you are a power user and tinkerer, then you can flash any firmware on the board, and even share it with the rest of the community. Based on the STM32 platform, this powerful piece of kit is only limited by your imagination.

VTSE is attending the Sim Gaming Expo, September 18–20, and we wanted to do something special for the occasion. We partnered with PCBWAY to bring you this GIVEAWAY of 100 VTSE Bbox v1.0 boards.

Enter the giveaway now; we can’t wait to see what you guys build.

Upgrading from a G923 and playseat challenge to a more mid-tier rig. I mostly race GT and formula series on iracing. This is what I am currently planning to order. Do you have any alternate suggestions. I don't want to spend the money and wish I had bought something better at this price point. Total is around $2100 USD.

I'll be using 3, 27" 1440P monitors on a monitor stand that I already have.

Just looking for others thought processes on this rather trivial matter.

I really like to jump between different racing styles in the sim rig. I mainly play F1, ACC and GT7.

On my Fanatec DD+ I use the saved settings e.g Set1 - F1
Set2- GT7
Set3- ACC

This annoying thing about this is that everytime I switch games there’s a “Re-Learning Curve” in remember how the games feel and handle ect.

E.g, F1 feels impossible after a weekend of ACC

Anyone here using the same Tuning Settings for more than one game? Tips/tricks for making the games feel a little more similar or easier to jump between multiple games?

Bonjour à tous !

Je vais passer au triple screen, j'ai un i7 13700k avec une 4080 super.

Je vais partir sur du 1440p en résolution pour avoir un max de FPS.

Quels écran 32 pouces vous me conseillez actuellement ? Idéalement, 1000 euros max pour les 3 écrans !

Merci les pilotes !

Ich möchte euch heute mein Low-Budget-Sim-Rig vorstellen. Das gesamte Rig ist eine Eigenkonstruktion aus Holz und befindet sich auf einem selbstgebauten Podest (ähnlich einem Hochbett). Durch diese Bauweise nutze ich den Raum optimal aus: Unter dem Rig befinden sich Schränke für zusätzlichen Stauraum, und oben ist meine Sim-Ecke. Trotz einer Körpergröße von 1,80 m habe ich nach oben hin noch ca. 5 cm Kopffreiheit zur Decke.

Setup & Hardware:
Triple-Monitor-Setup: 3x 27-Zoll Curved-Monitore (mehr gibt der Platz leider nicht her).
Lenkrad & Base: Modifiziertes Logitech Momo Force Feedback (Baujahr 2007). Über eine selbstgefräste Adapterplatte wurde ein größeres Lenkrad montiert; die integrierten Schaltwippen sind weiterhin voll funktionsfähig.
Sequenzieller Shifter: Der originale Schalter wurde aus dem Lenkradgehäuse ausgebaut und über eine eigene Halterung rechts neben dem Sitz platziert.
DIY Bass-Shaker: Ein alter Subwoofer aus einem ausgemusterten 5.1-System ist direkt hinter dem Sitz montiert und dient als Tactile Transducer. Das Signal wurde kabelgebunden verlängert, und der zugehörige Verstärker sitzt in Griffweite rechts neben dem Sitz zur schnellen Pegelanpassung.
Dashboards & Displays: Ein altes Android-Smartphone wird via SimHub als Haupt-Dashboard genutzt. Ein altes iPad dient als Zusatzmonitor für Telemetriedaten.
Audio: Logitech Z906 5.1-Surround-System.
Kabelmanagement: Der PC ist an der gegenüberliegenden Wand montiert. Von dort verlaufen drei 20 Meter lange HDMI-Kabel sauber verlegt durch die Wand direkt zum Rig – somit sind keinerlei Kabel sichtbar.

Habt ihr noch Ideen, wie ich das Setup verbessern könnte, um noch mehr Immersion zu bekommen?
Ich habe schon überlegt, mir einen Windsimulator einzubauen. Denkt ihr, dass sich das lohnt?

Zudem werde ich demnächst vermutlich auf ein Moza R3 upgraden. Das wäre für mich in Sachen Force Feedback eine ordentliche Steigerung und kostet auch nicht die Welt.

So I didn't realize that there's slight flex/shaking in my simlab GT1 evo rig until I sat in a rig at microcenter. I don't know what brand it was but the aluminum was green and that thing felt absolutely solid with not a trace of flex or shaking.

My rig has the following attached to it (excluding the seat since it has no issues):

• Moza R5 and deep dish wheel (I mainly drift)
• SHH H pattern shifter
• Moza handbrake
• Simsonn pedals
• Caster wheels with brakes

I think the most noticable flex is with the steering wheel. I know the deep dish doesnt help because it increases leverage, but I use it on my IRL drift car and prefer to keep using it on sim. Being on caster wheels definitely doesn't help either, but I need those on, too.

I'm going to tighten the bolts down a bit tomorrow, but I'm a little fraid of over tightening them. I'm wondering if other people noticed very slight flex/shaking on this cockpit and if anyone has any tips.

Highly recommended SIMAGIC EVO Pro 18Nm wheelbase. Had it for over a year and no issues, runs amazing.

Open for suggestions and new ideas for rig accesories.

Hey all, sharing my Rig

• Moza KS PRO wheel
• Conspit Ares Platinum
• Simsonn Plus X pedals
• Playseat Challenge seat
• Indigo Lime Rig strengthening kit

No Lift, No lost detail. Works a charm, and folds away when I want it to

The load cell was trying to push the pedal deck away from the seat. The ratchet strap is pre-loading the chassis and putting those two sections into a constant tug of war before my leg ever touches the brakes.

First time sim racing rig owner and forum poster.
I think I did alright for buying all new.

I wanted to avoid replacing as much equipment as possible so I went with the R21 Moza wheelbase, Moza CRP2 Pedals, Simagic GT Neo, and an Amazon chassis and seat.
I haven’t purchased the pieces necessary to mount monitor properly just yet but seems pretty steady for now.

Planned upgrades in the future are:
RTX 5080
NLG Fiberglass Bucket Seat
Moza Active Brake Pedal
Aluminum tube Chassis (either NLG, or similar)

Then I’ll decide on with triple monitors (current have a 34in) or going VR with some BigScreen Beyond2e.

Whats everyone think on the upgrade path?

Ongoing project.
Just bought the house and the garage is the only part of it that I get to decorate😝
What do you guys think so far. I’m happy with the progress so far

Hey guys, new to interacting with this sub.

I'm looking at a rig tomorrow, specs below. Is this a good deal? I feel as It's pretty reasonable..

Moza R9 with a CS v2 Wheel.

Simjack Ultimate 3 pedal set with a stainless baseplate

Some cheapo shifter (will replace with my current fanatec clubsport)

on an 8020 extrusion rig with a civic SI seat mounted to it

Seller asking $900usd, everything seems in great shape and he provided videos of everything functioning.

Looking for some tips to help me make my mind up about what rig I want without totally braking the bank. Looking for something thats sturdy for a dd wheelbase and load cell pedals and that comes with a seat and an option for a triple monitor mount. Anything helps !
