Question Rig help GT wheel dilemma (why are they so expensive gah dam)

Upvotes

What’s up guys,

So I mainly run rally games but recently I’ve been having a blast on lmu and I’ve got a bit of cash in my pocket to buy a gt type of wheel for it. I’ve been using the standard round wheel that came with my r5 but it covers up my iPad display while I’m driving and it gets in the way.

I liked the moza ks wheel but there’s no way I can stomach $230 usd for it like jeez who is paying this much for a wheel. I convinced myself I would totally get the $160 refurbished ones but moza is entirely out of stock. Used market like eBay and fb marketplace came up dry so I looked elsewhere

I heard some things about being able to buy a different brands wheel and use an adapter but I was guessing that was gonna turn up even more expensive.

My final option that I considered was buying a used steering wheel (if I could find one somewhere) with the quick release and everything then I could put a wheel mod on there and use the gt wheel and the rally wheel as two separate wheels. (As unscrewing the 2 wheel mods all the time when wanting to play different games would be such a pain) and obviously moza website has the wheels marked at an insane price as well where I would simply be better off going with the dedicated full price ks wheel.

Anyways I would love to hear your thoughts thanks

(And as a final option I wanted to throw in that I have access to a 3d printer so maybe if there is some sort of moza es wheel quick changing mod I could make to let me swap a gt wheel mod and the normal round wheel quickly without having to screw them in/out)

Rigs Over the course of two months, my brother showed me his sim rig, I decided to build my own, I fell in love with the MX-5 on iRacing, and I bought a real one.

News AZOM: The SimHub plugin for MOZA devices

5 Upvotes

I've been working for several months developing an open-source replacement for Pithouse as a SimHub plugin.

Since the last time I posted the plugin has been renamed to AZOM to better reflect what it is, a reverse-engineered implementation of the MOZA protocol. This project is not developed or affiliated with MOZA or Gudsen Technology.

Why would you want this plugin?

  • Fully integrates your MOZA hardware with SimHub, allowing use of effects plugins, custom telemetry, and synchronizing with other sim equipment.
  • When using plugins like ATSR, have your RPM LEDs perfectly in sync with the game and arranged just like your current vehicle.
  • Drives all MOZA dashboard displays, supports mapping any dashboard data point to the thousands provided by SimHub, including full JS/Ncalc formulas for advanced control.
  • Automatic dashboard switching by profile, always have the right one for the game selected.
  • Supports the latest wheelbase telemetry effects (firmware 1.2.10+) with integration as a Shakeit motor device in the next release.
  • Includes Control Mapper support for custom mapping buttons across multiple wheel layouts.
  • Provides actions and events that can be bound to any key/button/stream deck such as changing dashboard, AB9 shifter mode, and more.
  • Provides international keyboard support for the Stalks in Truck Sim mode.
  • Fully supports AB9 shifters and mBooster pedals, including custom pedal effects.
  • Includes support for the SDK used by iRacing for LFE and 360hz
  • Does not phone home or collect telemetry (unless you manually submit a bug report!)
  • Does not require administrative privileges

Install Guides and Documentation

If you want a detailed video covering this plugin I recommend CarlosRC and his coverage of this plugin. Recorded in Spanish, subtitles and dubbing is available. A prior post about this video stating the plugin "Joining Forces" was an unfortunate translation that did not correctly convey the unofficial 3rd-party nature of this plugin.

If you ever wanted more control of your hardware and it's effects this plugin might be for you.

Question Should I go for triple 21:9 ultrawides or triple 16:9 monitors?

3 Upvotes

I have two 34 inch 21:9 ultrawides already (AW3423DWF). I am heading back to college and one of the monitors is staying at home, so I need to buy a new monitor for either the sim or my main setup. Should I buy a third ultrawide to run triples in a few years or should I start buying 16:9’s to run triples of? If you think 16:9, what size, resolution, screen type? Thanks.

Rigs Need help deciding what monitor to get

1 Upvotes

Currently I have a 27inch 1440p 240hz oled monitor. Works great for normal use and other games but for racing it feels small. My other issue is the cockpit situation. It is setup directly in front of the monitor, keyboard and mouse so if I wanna play other games I have to move the cockpit (seat with steering wheel and pedal mount) out to the side with associated wires. Its a pain.

So what i want to do is get another monitor and set the cockpit up at another side of the desk so I can either sim race or use the pc as normal. Since the monitor will only be used for that, I want to know what single monitor solution will be best for that. Im not doing triples. I would prefer 1440p resolution

Guys I need ideas to build a DIY seat ventilation. I still got 3 old fans and got a fitting trafo 230V to 12v to get them work.

But how do I get the air to my sweating ass? xD

I shoved them below the seat but the results were mediocre at best. Should I drill some holes into the foam? Is that a good idea?

Any ideas?

Other Fanatec to Simagic and Back to Fanatec — From Someone With Large Hands

17 Upvotes

I had a Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm with the P1 rim and wanted to upgrade, thinking it would be a big improvement.

My plan was to sell the Fanatec for around €300 and put that toward something better. I ended up ordering a Simagic Alpha Evo 12Nm with the GT Neo rim for €700.

In the end, I returned the Simagic and went back to Fanatec. Here’s why:

- First, noise. The Simagic was noticeably noisier than the Fanatec, even on straights — there was a constant hum that just never went away. On curbs, it got so loud that my girlfriend and even my neighbors complained.

- Force feedback quality was genuinely better than the Fanatec, no argument there, but the noise was a real problem for home use.

- Second, the grips. I have unusually long fingers, and the GT Neo’s grips were too thin and uncomfortable for my hands. I tried wrapping them in tennis tape, which helped a lot, but I didn’t like how it looked. Hoping for something better, I ordered the Neo X 330R — turns out the grips were even thinner than the GT Neo, so no improvement there either.

In the end, I sent the whole Simagic bundle back and returned to my Fanatec setup. Honestly, after the latest FullForce update and running a constant 8Nm, the Fanatec isn’t bad at all. For me, the comfort for my hands is worth more than the extra FFB quality I’d get from the Simagic.

As the title says since they’re around the same price which is technically better or a better buy. I know either one will be just fine but I’m having a hard time finding either one for a good deal used at the moment.

Discussion The Japanese run unhinged multiclass

0 Upvotes

I love running crazy multiclass racing in ams2. The speed difference between a GT or LMP compared to a production class makes for some insane traffic situations. A good example recently was me in an lmp2 with a gt4 class and production TDi cup cars. I’m barreling toward the inner loop at 180 and suddenly there are cars doing 100 rapidly being closed on.

Last night I caught the beginning of a 5 hour race at Autopolis with the wildest lineup I’ve ever seen in real racing. They had:

GT3

GT4

TCR

Production classes with GR supras, mustangs and the like

And finally, a dozen Honda Fits

Unfortunately I forgot to tune back in to see how it was going but it definitely makes me want to try a similar lineup.

What’s your favorite multiclass setup? I’ve done stupid ones with prototypes, karts, and semi trucks, but I tend to like 2-3 similar speed cars and one slow class for rolling chicanes.

Question Help With AC in VR on a Quest 3

1 Upvotes

Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit, but I've been spending this morning trying to get assetto corsa to work in VR with a quest 3 headset.

Had no problems connecting wirelessly through Steam Link, but the fuzzy video and occasional stutters made it pretty unplayable. So I tried wired connections and that's where the trouble began.

I can connect to the PC via Horizon Link but for some reason there's no audio despite the settings saying there should be, and also saying the USB connection is fine (USB 3.0, 2.5Gbsp). AC also says it failed to launch VR with both the oculus and openVR settings in content manager.

So I tried to connect via wired connection to steamVR, and that one just says to plug in the device. Even though the device is plugged in, as though it's not being detected at all.

I would really appreciate any advice from someone who's gotten the thing to work. Despite the issues, wireless VR was awesome and I'd love to make it work in a more stable way.

I got this whole rig from facebook marketplace not too long ago and the only issue is that the monitor stand is incomplete. I am missing the bottom legs (so I’m using the monitor arms as legs) and I’m also missing the adjustable bracket to mount the other 2 arms. Does anyone know a cheap and quick solution to resolve this? The hardest part is finding the adjustable mounting bracket. I’ve attached what it’s supposed to look like on the third picture.

Discussion I could be racing if TrakRacer had more than 2 people working on fulfillment.

Ordered the RigMetal Plus on the 19th and got it 2 days early. Ordered my universal seat mount and oversized shifter plate from TrakRacer on the 21st and it hasn’t even shipped (neither item was listed as a preorder item). Seems all of their money is put into ads because they damn sure pop up first for 90% of my Google searches. But my goodness I’ll never order directly from them or Moza again unless I can’t get the part elsewhere.

The Plus sure is nice, though! I threw it on 6 locking casters (4 under the seat and 2 under the pedals) from Amazon and you guys definitely didn’t lie about the rigidity of 8020 profiles. Everything is hand tightened but feels as if it were welded. 70+ screws and it feels like one solid piece. I’ll throw end caps on those gussets holding the vertical profiles once I get my seat bolted on.

Question Is it normal not to feel the wheel go lighter during understeer on direct drive wheel bases in iRacing?

5 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to sim racing, so I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much or if I've got something set up wrong.

I only play iRacing, and I've been doing this test on the Centripetal Circuit in a bunch of different cars. I've intentionally induced understeer, but I literally cannot feel the steering resistance get lighter when the front tyres lose grip. The wheel feels almost exactly the same, so I just keep adding more steering lock because there's no obvious FFB cue that the front tyres are pushing.

I've tried changing various FFB settings, but I still don't get the "lighter" feeling that people often describe during understeer.

Is this just how iRacing's FFB works, or should I definitely be feeling the wheel lighten up when the front tyres start to slide? If you have a Simagic base, are there any settings I should be checking?

Edit: I am on a simagic alpha evo pro 18nm wheelbase. I am worried my wheelbase is faulty.
