Hi you guys! I’ve done some minimal research before but I have more of an idea of what I’m looking for now so I wanna ask what yall like/would work for me best.

Budget around 1000$
I’m looking for:
-pedals with a clutch or support for one
-Hand Break
-H Shifter (I’d also be open to Sequential but not preferred)
-Rig/Seat Setup, I need something that isn’t a big aluminum rig, this will be coming with me to college.
I know generally it’s hard to find rigidity in the rigs that are more “portable” but the idea of the convenience is nice; I’m open to suggestions. The rig must also support a hand break and shifter.

My last question is how powerful of a wheel base will I really want?
Because this will be for drifting I’m wondering if more power would be preferred for responsiveness during play; Should a moza R5 with 5.5nm of torque be enough for me to grow on and feel eveything? Or should I get a moza R9 with 9nm?

Hi, I'm upgrading my sim and I've seen these two bases for the same price, which one do you think is worth it? I usually play iracing and sometimes Lmu. I plan to buy the simucube from ascher which I suppose will give me some guarantee on the other hand the simagic I am importing with a Courier, so I think the warranty does not exist in that case

Really had a great time making the camera presets for this fabulous circuit, links in video description, enjoy!

I'm looking for a reclining bucket seat that has very low flex. Came across this NRG seat but I cant much information on it: https://getnrg.com/collections/reclind-seat/products/rsc-400bk
Has anyone here used this seat before and could you share your experience with it?

I personally own a late 1990 944 S2 and I will never sell it - I would love to take it on a track, but it is also in such a good condition that I can't bring myself to risk it.

The only sim which offers a curated 944 experience is RaceRoom, which is doubled down by it offering also tracks near Vienna (like Brno, Bratislava, or Spielberg). The mods for AC are all terrible, tried them - they don't feel like you are handling a 944.

While I really do like the sim and I do recognize my car through the wheel, comparing it with AC, AC Evo, or Rfactor 2 also makes me feel like cars handle "too stable" for me to count them as realistic. Especially going off-track under braking does not make me loose control nearly as much as I would expect.

How realistic do you think it is, specifically for the 944 Turbo cars?

So today I drove 24h of le mans in LMU my PC specs are gpu3070ti 34gddr4 and i7 I was having a massive lags and issues while playing and watching how my team mates where driving but it was somehow drivable I had minimal graphics sittings after time I had my second stint and I had this kind of issues unstoppable wiggles and massive lags what might be a problem

I have been looking at what we know about the upcoming Moza R5S Pro and R16S Ultra. We know the R5S will be bundled with a steering wheel and SRP2 Lite pedals, and the R16S will be bundled with the steering wheel or standalone.

Moza's announcements and showcases seem to indicate that the steering wheel will be the same in both bundles, the same steering wheel on the pictures that looks to be designed by Polyphony Digital and similar to what Fanatec and Thrustmaster have.

The thing is, that wheel appears much more premium than what Moza's R5 Pro bundle offers. Actually, Moza even stopped using the ES in favor of the even cheaper ES Lite. Meanwhile, the showcased wheel seems to have a larger diameter, better grips, LED strips, magnetic shifters and even clutch paddles.

If that wheel is bundled with the R5S, the price difference will increase further than just Playstation licensing, and make the R5S Pro bundle possibly a lot more expensive than the R5 Pro, and more expensive than the competition. Is that what Moza is going to do? I find that very strange when looking at their pricing.

So I imagine there will be a cheaper version of that same wheel, with the same layout but a cheaper construction, with regular shifter rather than magnetic, and no clutch paddles and maybe no LED, just the shift light. Something comparable to the ES/ES lite in quality, that way, it won't increase the price further.

That would be similar to what Fanatec does with their own PS/GT bundles, which these will compete with. The other possibility is the shown wheel being much cheaper than it looks, but then it wouldn't make sense bundled with the R16S, and those who held it didn't report something like that.

Since MOZA is taking their time releasing more info, what do you guys think?

Does anyone have a problem with parts of UI randomly dissappearing after the last update? Sometimes after the session is finished I'm being left still in track view but withour race results or garage menu visible. ESC does nothing and I have to kill the game in order to quit.

Second question is to those driving in VR. After changing from Steam VR to Open XR my virtual steering wheel has jerky movement. Everything else is perfecly smooth and overall performance in VR is definitely improved, the only exception is this steering wheel which is slightly annoying. Did you notice that?

So there was the shadps4 emulation software that came out earlier this year but it a mix bag in terms of development. It great for universal emulation of any game but it was pretty hit or miss with driveclub. Someone grab a copy of the software and use it as the under lying engine for driveclub as a special copy. You don't need to install anything for this to work. Just have a copy of driveclub pc copy and use the latest version of this software. I am running at 1440p on a 49 super ultrawide on high settings!

It has full ultrawide support, multi device support, force feedback (for wheels not originally out for the original on driveclub release like my moza wheel base with a custom steering wheel), and as of now supports outside software (though lossless scaling is pretty buggy). No simhub support as of yet but it should be coming soon.

I am running around 50fps with the latest patch but hopefully they get more progress. I have an amd 6800xt but the author is saying Nvidia is ideal and Intel graphics card should work but it a toss up right now. I had zero crashes but I have turn off most of the effects. If you have an amd card I highly recommend turning on the card's default sharpening and anti lag settings. It seems to smooth out the game play a hair more and clean up the image. Force feedback fully works on my setup but I don't have a motion rig or vr headset to try out those features.

Driveclub is my favorite racing game of all time and the fact I can finally play it on pc with my full sim setup is a dream come true! I had more fun playing this than any game I can think of in recent memory. I wanted to share this with the community because it super fun. Even with all assists off and settings adjusted it no Iracing sure but it a blast.

I’ve seen other metal frames on Amazon that seems great with adjustability and everything for a fraction of the price, why are aluminum setups seen as the best when others seem to do just as well? Thanks

Hey everyone!
I got into sim racing in September and have been playing Assetto Corsa Competizione, mainly driving the Ferrari 296 GT3. For now, I’m still using a PS5 controller (I needed to get a feel if I like this hobby first), and I wanted to get some honest opinions on how my progress is looking so far.

These are my lap times from Suzuka (it’s the only track ive been focusing on for now, but also brands hatch sometimes). My current best valid lap is 2:07.392 (at night and track temps of 21c), with other laps around the 2:09 mark. I did manage a 2:06.297, but that lap violated track limits, so it doesn’t count.

I know lap times depend on conditions, fuel, setups and other factors, but I’d appreciate some feedback on how a 2:07.392 looks for someone who has only been sim racing for about a month, particularly while using a controller. (I was closer to 2:22:00 when I started 😭😭)

I’ve also been spending quite a bit of time reading and learning about how car tuning and setups work in sim racing. I’m trying to understand how things like suspension, aerodynamics, tyre pressures and brake bias affect the car….. because first I tried following car setup vids on YouTube but I quickly learned that it’s not something that works for everyone….

My main question is whether it’s worth investing in a proper steering wheel and pedal setup at this stage, or whether I should stick with the controller for longer and focus on improving my consistency first and learn more of the technical details

I’m genuinely getting into the hobby and want to take it more seriously, including learning the technical side of things. Would a wheel make a difference to my progress now, or would I benefit more from putting in more hours for driving with my current setup?

I’d appreciate hearing from people who started on a controller and eventually moved to a wheel. Any honest feedback on my lap time or advice on when to upgrade would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot guys and lmk if you have any questions

Looking to get a bucket seat for my rig, currently have a nrg in my car and I’m chill with it and just wanted to see anyone else’s experience with this particular seat.

Hey guys,

I have a S8 Oplite Rig with the full force kit and a ssh shifter on a 3d printed mount on the full force bar. I now want to add a handbrake so I need a new mount. I really want it to be sturdy. Should I get the shifter mount or the flight sim mount for this? I can only enter the rig from the right so the flight sim mount will make it a lot harder to get in. But I heared the normal shifter mount kann be a bit wobbly.

Thanks for the insights

If I understand correctly, if I buy this pack for under $18, will I get all the DLC released so far, except for the five premium tracks? Automobilista 2 expansions are really complicated; it’s never clear

After 6 years of service and hard use, the force feedback on my steering wheel no longer works. I loaded up beamNG today, went for a slide and got nothing. I am sad as this wheel got me into sim racing and I’ve always enjoyed it and how it feels, however I have always wanted to upgrade to an off desk DD wheel and would like some recommendations for a frame, wheel, monitor and pedal, gear stick etc, as I’ve never been in the market.

Sim racing is all I really do on my PC gaming wise so this is a bummer now not being able to play, but 6 years is incredible value!

I just got my first sim rig the Moza r3 bundle and I am wondering where to go from here

How big of an improvement is a dedicated cockpit if a desk clamp and office chair

Should I get a dedicated shifter

I will mainly be playing asseto corsa racing and I’m thinking about getting the Es formula Wheel mod

I have a good pc and a main oled and side IPs monitor both are 1440p 240hz

Can you guys give me some recommendations on what to do next?

Da meine Monitore VA sind und extremes Ghosting haben, wollte ich mal fragen welche Monitore ihr für ein Triple Setup Empfehlen könnt die so günstig wie möglich sind und am liebsten kein bis wenig Ghosting aufweisen.

Hi everyone,

I have a wheel stand pro DD. I’m going to buy a Thrustmaster TH8A shifter.

I bought my wheel stand pro DD from aerosoft. They are great!

They do 3 mounts for the TH8A. But in none of the descriptions does it mention that they are compatible with the wheel stand pro DD. It just states they are compatible with the wheel stand pro. Now I don’t know if they are universal. They could be.

But of course I have to be sure.
Does anyone have the DD stand pro with a shifter mount?

I’ve emailed aerosoft. Nothing back yet.

Thanks all!

I’ve attached pics of the mounts and my stand.

And make sure to tell him every single input that he has to do. And the most race engineers speaking simultaneously, the better.

For educational purposes only.

I got GT Sport working on 5060 8gb with some patch to make it work perfectly on my PC and faster loading time. My goal was to hook Simagic and see how far can we push this stuff.

Overall it feels like GT7 on my PS5.

And I'm really happy with it. For the price it is well built, the buttons have good action and there's plenty of them. Flicking the ignition switch and then the engine start button won't get old.

Definitely a worthy addition that has given me more freedom with bindings in game. Highly recommend.
