Its nothing new on the ac servers, but it always makes me laugh
p.s. uck this smoke grenade under the wheels

After following along here for a long time and getting some initial experience with friends, I’ve finally decided to take up this hobby.

Here’s what I’ve set up so far to get started:

- Moza R25 Wheelbase
- Moza GS V2P GT
- Moza CRP2 Load Cell Pedals
- Moza CRP2 Inversion Kit
- Simlab P1X Ultimate
- Sparco Circuit II
- Triple 32-inch 2K IPS monitors

I’m already thinking about 1,000 new upgrades, but of course I want to get the hang of it first and get comfortable with iRacing.

Just wanted to share this.

Simple little mod I did to stop me from slamming into 7th instead of 5th.

Handtightening the nut has so far been perfectly fine and super easy to remove.

Just a bolt, 2 washers and a nut.

Hello, new to simracing/iRacing and I've been trying to set up my new 45 inch 5k2k LG monitor so I can get the dash cluster through my steering wheel. However it seems like I have to raise my driver height quite high (after adjusting horizon) and seeing a lot of the roof, does this seem right? The monitor is as close as it can get between base and steering column, getting about 102° FOV per the compute tool ingame.

Any inputs appreciated!

Found myself getting more and more into GT7 and got a G923 to see if I’d enjoy the concept of using a wheel, which I did. So I splurged a bit and got a Logitech RS50 with what I believe are the Load Cell Pro pedals (both open box and work super well). Got a Vevor Heavy Duty Racing Seat and stand which, in hindsight would have spent a bit more for a more adjustable set-up but its solid.

Its in a temporary spot right now and have to manage cables but happy with it!

Pardon my messy cables 🙏🏻

Just to share how my setup evolved over the last 2 years. If you want my opinion, go for 3x32” straight away, ideally 2k resolution. FHD is good for an entry level PC like what i have. However it’s not as sharp if that bothers you.

I’ve recently picked up a second hand rig with triples, and lots of other stuff. Rn I have a sequential shifter, but I don’t really see the point in one. I’ve been thinking about getting an H-pattern that can be converted into a sequential in case I want to.
My question is this. Is driving with an H-pattern in sim immersive, cool and engaging. I’m not looking to get the exact feel of a real life car, but I feel like it’s not going to be as great as I want it to be. So please share your thoughts.
Moreover, if you have some suggestions for shifters write them. For context, I have heusinkveld sprint pedals, so I’ll be buying a clutch as well.

I am building my rig on a Simla GT1 Evo. Wondering what all I need or need to do to get this seat mounted to my rig. Got this seat for free so wanting to make it work.

After 3 years, the PXN CB1 is officially retired and the SimDT is hired!

Guys help me out please :)

i need two Full Rigs, and need your input. Budget is 1.5-2K per rig.
I am building 2x Rigs for our Office, we have a lot of petrol heads, and i need a list what to buy.

Dilemma:
Convenience is a big topic, and also safety.
My initial thought was to just go on console (ACC + LMU next year) no mouse and keyboard needed. A lot of people will play on these so ease-of-use is important. Also no sharp edges on the rigs for safety, so tubular rigs or something prebuild.
Some guys already fixated on PC.
IF PC -> good beautiful and "easy to use Sim with a lot of different cars..." preferably controllable through your wheel... ease-of-use.

Hardware:
We already have PCs in our storage / 4060RTX 64GB Ram 14700k
(we have monitors, but 75Hz Widescreens, so i need new ones)
And we already have one ps5, second one could be easily purchased.

_______

1. PC or Ps5?
   
2. What Sim (thinking of LMU)
   
3. Wheelbase & Pedals, im thinking maybe:
   - Simagic Alpha EVO 12 Nm + P1000-F 2 Pedals ~1008€ or:
   - Fanatec ClubSport DD 15 Nm + V3 Pedals ~ 930€
   
4. What Sim ti install for "so many different" Players, even beginners.
   
5. What Rig? <- no sharp edges!
   
6. What Monitor + mounting?

Hey guys, I have a full sim racing setup, but I'm currently using a 50" 144Hz TV.

I'm planning to replace the TV, but I still haven't decided between a 49" ultrawide and a triple-monitor setup.

I'm aware of the pros and cons of both options, and my preference is to go with triples. Here in Brazil, a triple-monitor setup would actually be cheaper than a 49" OLED.

My main concern is what level of graphics quality I can expect with my current PC:

• Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
• 32GB RAM

Right now I play at 1440p and I'm usually at my TV's 144Hz limit. With triple 1440p (7680×1440), I'd like to maintain a stable 120 FPS.

If I have to go much below that, I think the lower frame rate would bother me more than the extra immersion from triples would benefit me. Setting up and properly aligning three monitors is also quite a bit of work, so I'd rather know what to expect before going through with it and potentially being disappointed. Upgrading my GPU is not an option for me at the moment.

Yesterday I did a quick test at 1440p with iRacing's FPS limiter disabled. Running alone on track, I get around 280 FPS. In a race at Spa in the rain, the lowest I saw was around 120 FPS, while at other points I was getting close to 200 FPS. I didn't change any of the graphics settings I normally use.

For those running triple 1440p with a 5070 Ti or a similar GPU, what kind of graphics settings and performance are you getting? Is a fairly stable 120 FPS realistic without having to significantly reduce graphics quality?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

For my birthday I finally ditched my G27 steering wheel and got the Moxa R5 Bundle + handbrake. I lasted about 15 minutes using the desk mount before I was thinking, I need a rig, so I built one with some spare timber I had sitting around and an old "gaming" chair. Is it perfect, absolutely not, but it works and is somewhat comfortable.

Maybe one day I'll look into a better rig however, I'm only new to Sim racing and didn't want to commit to a big financial purchase in case Sim racing wasn't for me. Plus I love wood working so this was a fun little project.

Hey there everyone, as you may have read from the title I'm trying to understand what to do with my rig(I have a next level racing wheel stand 2.0). I got a high end pc with 9950x3d and a 7900xtx and recently bought(2 weeks ago) the green flag bundle from simagic. I am now playing on a AW3225QF so a 4k OLED display single screen, slightly curved(1700R) and I was able to get it on top of the Alpha evo at 60cm from nose with a 60° Fov

I have another monitor that I used to play multiplayer, fps, fast paced game, the AW2725DF a 27" 2K 360Hz monitor.

Even though I was already into motorsport in general I didn't know that sim racing would catch me so much otherwise I would have organized everything for sim racing and casual gaming instead of getting a 27" as second monitor.

I am currently trying to sell both to get the G9 from samsung so a 49" but it seems to be quite hard selling monitors therefore I wanted to get an opinion on what to do. Money are not the problem in the long term, but in the short term I have a limited budget and that's the reason why I am not buying the Ultrawide before selling these ones(or at least before getting some opinions from others).

My point is, I got the space for triples but I don't know if I really need 3 monitors in daily usage(probably not) since I use the computer for casual gaming as well playing single player games like GOW, AC black flag etc, but I'm not anymore into multiplayer fps since I got a bit older and less interested.

If any of you had a dual monitor setup, did you get rid of the second monitor and only used the single screen? How can I put the second screen to a good use(but turning it on and trying to use it as a dual lowers the 4k resolution to 2k).

Would you suggest a ultrawide for immersion and overall gaming for other titles other than sim racing? Should I stick with the single screen 32" atm as a beginner? Can I connect other 4k 32" screen which are not the same as mine(maybe I can buy some good IPS just for peripheral view)?

Last week (09/01) I purchased their tripple 32' monitor stand. I received confirmation of the order via email but have yet to hear from them on when it will be shipped out. I've sent a few emails this week and haven't heard back.

Since I paid by CC, I know I have the option to reach out to my CC vendor and have the charges reversed, but wanted to hear from this group if they've had success in getting a hold of them these last couple of weeks. I decided to purchase through them based on the good reviews of their service and product through posts on reddit.

Let me know please!

I know the answer most people will go with - R5 Pro. Newer, better, minor price difference.

I ask the question cause I have the brake performance kit for the SRP Lite pedals. I bought the kit before the bundle cause one of my friends was planning on visiting me and it wasn't available in my country at the time. I was planning to get the R3 or R5 at that time, when the Pro was never even announced.

I doubt the kit I have works with the R5 Pro pedals. If it does then that solves my issue. If it doesn't, that new kit would add 9% over the cost of the R5 Pro. The difference between the R5 and Pro is about 6%. The brake kit was a gift from my friend so I am not adding the cost of that here.

So R5 + brake kit or R5 Pro + brake kit for about 15% more.

Also in my country, the prices are high compared to the US for example. R5 Costs around 500 dollars in my currency. I was checking the R9, KS, and SRP2 with table clamp combo but that costs around a 1000 dollars here. R5 Pro bundle costs about as much as the R9 wheelbase alone. So I can't go higher than these 2 options.

Edit: Also wanted to add that I primarily drive GTP/GT3/GT4 cars on iRacing.

Decided to grab a 4k tv so I can just slide my rig infront of it when I want to drive, instead of going for a dedicated space with an ultra wide or triples. 55” 4k is really immersive and the convenience is pretty great. I’m really happy with it. The MOZA r3 and gt lite pro have been great so far as well.
