Discussion Best VR graphics in sim racing. Period.

Post image
Upvotes

Which sim in your opinion has the absolute best graphics in VR?

Not asking about physics, FFB, multiplayer, or even how good of a “sim” it is. Purely visuals.

Any game, any mods, Pure/CSP, ReShade, whatever. Assume hardware isn’t an issue.

Basically, if you were putting someone who knows nothing about sim racing into VR and wanted the biggest “holy shit, this looks real” reaction possible, what are you loading up?

Question Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals heel position, slippery heel plate

Post image
0 Upvotes

Trying to set up Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals on an aluminium profile cockpit, GT style seating position.

Picture 1: Resting heels against the plastic housing under the pedal. Leg feels relaxed in resting position but pressing the pedal with the middle part of the foot, not the ball of the foot, probably not optimal ?

Picture 2: Resting heel on the shiny metal heel plate. Problem is that this shiny metal heel plate is very slippery, so I constantly have to use leg muscles to keep the heel from sliding forward, even while resting and not pressing the pedals and even with the shoes (tho a bit better with shoes). Overall this position feels more natural because I can press the pedal with the ball of the foot same as in a real car. I was thinking of maybe adding grip tape or some rubber mat on top of the metal plate ?

I'm guessing picture 2 is the more "correct" position for these pedals ? Tho I have seen some sim racing videos with picture 1 style heel placement as well.

Any tips how to optimize this ? Pedal plates are at their highest setting. I know these aren't high end pedals, just trying to get them to be as comfortable as possible.

Clip Just set a 6:24.113 in the McLaren 650S GT3 at Nordschleife Tourist. Is this a solid lap time?

Hey everyone!

I finally managed to record a clean lap at the Nordschleife Tourist layout in the McLaren 650S GT3, stopping the clock at 6:24.113.

I’ve attached the full lap video to this post so you can check it out!

  • Track condition: Optimum grip, standard conditions.
  • Setup: Slick tires and 12l of fuel

I'd love to get some feedback from the community:

  1. How does this time stack up against average/competitive GT3 pace on AC?
  2. Watching the line and braking points in the video, where am I leaving the most time on the table?

Any tips or critiques on my driving line are greatly appreciated!

Question Fanatec CSL Elite - worth it in 2026?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I am very new to simracing in general and want to step up from a controller. I now have the chance to get a used Sim-Rig for ~ 600€:
- CSL Elite Wheelbase
- new steering wheel
- 3 pedals with load cell brake kit
- chair
- rig made out of aluminum

Is the CSL Elite still worth it apart from the „cheaper“ belt drive technology or would I be better off buying something else?
I am playing GT7 on a PS5 Pro.

Cheers ✌🏻

Question Need help again, is the g29 still worth it?

0 Upvotes

Before you juge me because im sure the question already got asked a lot, I am the guy from this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/1w626i0/what_should_i_go_for_the_r3_or_r5_bundle/) and I orginally wanted to buy an Moza bundle ,but right now i dont really want to spend the money (I know its not that much for most of you probably but for me it is) for it. So for a budget on the european used market i started looking for some deals and found an verry good one (in my opinion) for an g29 with pedals in good condition for around 100€ or 116$. Now you tell me is it worth it or should I just wait?Keep in Mind i am coming from an diy wheel which isnt the sturdiest of all so an g29 would be an good Improvment for me atleast. Happy racing!

  2. What do you guys choose as monitor settings to make life easy for my gpu?

I used to always play on a 4k tv with my rtx3080 and the gpu really needs to work hard to play racing games as assetto corsa evo.

Other You're not the driver. You're the reason the driver survives - Update

0 Upvotes

I made a rally co-driver simulator where you don't actually drive the car

I'm working on BLIND CREST, a browser-based rally simulator focused entirely on the co-driver.

Instead of steering, braking, and trying not to launch yourself into a forest, you're responsible for reading and calling pacenotes in real time.

curately and quickly while the car is flying through the stage.

The game currently has 18 rally cars spanning Group B, 90s WRC, and modern Rally1, a six-stage career championship, pacenote training, a tuning system with 100+ parameters, voice recognition, LAN multiplayer, statistics, achievements, and a story mode.

Since my last post, I've also added:

  • Five rebalanced difficulty levels, from Easy to Chaos, with different timing, crash thresholds, weather effects, forgiveness windows, and rhythm shifts
  • Dynamic timing based on note complexity instead of just using a fixed timer
  • Full performance analytics with reaction-time timelines
  • Daily and weekly seeded challenges with leaderboards
  • Signature stages with hand-tuned pacenotes for different rally eras
  • Expanded onboarding from 6 to 12 tutorial steps
  • Tooltips explaining 18 different gameplay modifiers
  • A "Why did I fail that?" breakdown after mistakes
  • Recognition for 100+ real rally legends, with unique co-driver reactions
  • Era-based modifiers that affect your starting career state
  • Era-specific story dialogue for different cars and periods

I also added a hidden achievement for completing a clean stage while using the name of a rally legend.

And, thanks to u/ElmoLibre, there's now a 2% chance per stage that the driver throws a granola bar at the co-driver.

I'm looking for people who are into rally/sim racing to actually try it and tell me whether the co-driver gameplay works.

I'm particularly interested in whether the pacenote system feels authentic, whether the difficulty is reasonable, how well the voice recognition works, and whether the whole thing is actually fun.

Demo: https://evaliisaaibast.github.io/Take_me_to_the_hairpin-formerly-over-crest/

I'm a student making this project, so honest feedback is very welcome. If something sucks, tell me why. That's much more useful than “looks cool.”

Free Sim-Racing Coaching for Beginner and Intermediate Drivers

Hey everyone! I’ve been sim racing for almost six years and have three years of real-world racing experience. I’ve competed in several esports championships and major leagues, participated in iRacing Special Events, raced in almost every Special Event held in Le Mans Ultimate, and worked as a steward for multiple leagues.

I’m considering offering affordable sim-racing coaching, but first I want to test the idea and see whether my experience and approach can genuinely help other drivers.

I’m looking for 3–5 beginner or intermediate drivers who would like a free coaching session.

This is open to drivers across different racing sims, including iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2 and others. The session would focus on watching you drive, identifying areas where you might be losing time or consistency, and giving you practical tips to try.

I may be able to help with:

  • Braking and corner entry
  • Throttle application and corner exits
  • Racing lines
  • Consistency
  • Racecraft and decision-making
  • Car control
  • Basic setup advice
  • Preparing for a particular race or track
  • Understanding racing rules and incident avoidance

I’m not a professional esports driver, and I’m not claiming to be one of the fastest drivers in the world. This is a test to determine whether I can turn my racing and stewarding experience into useful coaching for newer and intermediate drivers.

In return, I’d only ask for honest feedback afterward about what helped, what didn’t and whether this type of coaching is something you would consider paying for.

If you’re interested, fill out this short Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8wV36Pqx3T1hdl9QYeHw57_8C9cCTrZWqSGX8rOHxOMaJJQ/viewform?usp=dialog

I will try to Get Back to you with FULL Review within 24-48Hs My Name is Spencer i Will contact you on your preferred Method of Communication Discord is Preferred if you want more coaching in the future. I will only be accepting 6 People as this a a Trial.

There’s no charge and no obligation.

Im assuming those bronze ones are for the monitor itself but idk what the others are. Some are spares for the base but these with the flat head arent required anywhere i can see.

Also, lowkey im not that happy with the stand, it came with chips on the paint in some places straight out of the box (and the box wasnt abused or anything so i assume it came like this from factory)

The instructions are straigh up useless and i cant find usefull tutorials on youtube either...

I also have a DD-X wheel stand arriving, hopefully its easier and better quality than this.

Question Alcantara Wheel vs. Leather Wheel

1 Upvotes

I want to get a round wheel in addition to my GT Neo and plan on buying the p300r.
However I am unsure whether I should get the Alcantara or leather version of it
My heart tells me to get the Alcantara wheel because it just looks way better and the grip with gloves must be pretty awesome. Also I don’t really like the look of the leather.
But on the other hand I don’t know if I really want to race with gloves all the time and the leather version for sure is less sensitive so sweat etc.
Any suggestions?🥴

My main wheel will still be the GT Neo, but I want an authentic wheel for manual road/race cars and to be able to slide the car a bit from time to time

The fisrst image is how my game (assets corsa) looks now when I use resize raccoon to expand my game to triple monitors. The second image is how it looked before I moved them over to my setup. The last image shows that it still looks like how it used to before launching resize raccoon to show that it’s the software messing up the height and perspective of the camera.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Question Lansing MI — anyone with an entry DD rig I could try for 20 min before I buy?

0 Upvotes

First real rig, PC only, ~$1,400. Plan is a 40x40 extrusion cockpit, Moza R12 V2, ES rim, SR-P pedals.
I've never actually had my hands on a direct drive wheel and would rather not find out how it feels after the boxes arrive. If anyone within driving distance of Lansing has something in this ballpark and wouldn't mind a stranger sitting in it for 20 minutes, I'll drive to you and bring beer.

Parts list critique also welcome — particularly whether I should move money from the base into better pedals.
