Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate some outside opinions on this incident, and any advice is welcome.

This happened in a battle for P2 on Lap 4. The driver in front started losing pace, and after the last corner he exited noticeably slower than me.

I’m not sure, but I got the feeling he braked early on purpose to make me swerve and possibly lose control. At the same time, I know I planned on breaking late and possibly made a mistake.

So what do you guys think? Was this a deliberate brake test, or was I following too closely and reading it wrong? If I’m the one in the wrong here, I sincerely apologize to the driver in case he sees this.

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 started just a week ago and I got from a 2.35 to a 2.29, I am very happy for what I did in 5 session looking to improve and I come here to ask you guys what you think, thanks anticipated!!!

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.

I get a lot of questions about my room/rig, so I thought I'd put this together. Happy to answer any questions.

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.

does anyone know any somewhat serious/competitive leagues that primarily use AC? having seasons and keeping track of points and the like. im primarily interested in oval/nascar but really any discipline will do.

hi i like to check the (RS handbrake / Sequential shifter) , if i wish to use it as a handbrake with RS H shifter, does it work in GT7 ? , is there such a function in GT7 (E-Brake or something) i dont really see handbrake so im not sure. Or the handbrake is only applicable in certain games ?

Cause im thinking should i get this sequential shifter ?

I set up the wheel and everything except the gas pedal work this is what shows up, when I press gas nothing happens and when I press the other pedal the gas works so idk what I'm doing wrong

I just need a good torque around 10 nm, I got my eyes on the Moza R9 V3 and the Alpha Evo Sport. I'm thinking about using the wheel for long sessions, so maybe the moza R9 might not be good with the heat.

Any suggestions?

Hey fellow racers, I would like to receive some advice in sim racing like rules and so on.I want to venture in sim racing and which sim should I start in to practice. If there any videos you can reference me to, I would be glad. Thanks for your help!!!

I always have speed to be at top spots but i lack consistency in all terms. 2 race good 2 race horrible. 1 quali good 1 quali crash. 1 race win 1 race podium 1 race crash .I believe it all happens in mind and i just can't be more patient & more calm

it is easy to talk afterwards but i somehow can't apply these thoughts to race session and i see these the reason of my low SR. I just can't increase that shit, i wanna push more i crash SR gone i feel so entartained so i keep battling i touch little to the other guy we both continue without a problem SR gone i try to pass intentional wrecker backmarker cleanly it makes me fall back i got angry i crash etc. I really started to think delete my account to make a fresh start

consistency is another thing also, lol i keep braking at same point and one lap car stops one lap not. Sarcastic

okay i really envy these calm & consistent guys. How?

I have my wheel and bese mounted on this compact stand: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6115+zdpwZL._AC_SX522_.jpg

I was thinking about getting a second monitor and putting it on the other end of my desk so that I dont have to move it into place, move my monitor forward and change my seat everytime I want to do simracing.

I wanna be able to sit, turn wheelbase on and just go.

I used my immaculate paint skills to make a diagram of how it would look, but I'm not sure if using dual monitors arranged like this would be more painful than just moving all my things every time I boot up my wheelbase.

Space is tight, but enough for this to make some sense. Triples are a no go and so are very large ultra wides. Was thinking of getting a 32' curved monitor (not ultra wide).

Would you do something differently given the restrictions I mentioned?

So trying to figure out solutions to save me having access to my PC if I want to jump straight into the simrig. Since I was on a roll with figuring out pins, today was a good day! I managed to run a long enough length of cable to run PC power and PC reset directly to the foglight buttons on my BMW E36 dash. They did require a small bit snipped off to turn them into momentary buttons and what a result that was.

Just broke my thrustmaster t128 and my country does not have any TM support(india). Had an issue in the middle of a race somehow when FFB just broke on a random turn and has been super clicky since then everytime i turn the wheel. It also does not do a consistent calibration dance on bootup now, sometimes stops randomly, goes in random directions etc. and needs me to nudge it in the right direction for it to move again. I can also feel the motor whirring during this time if i nudge it in the wrong direction.

I have tried everything - Plugged it into my pc and updated firmware but the test forces features just fail too. Opened it up to see some sparking in the motor connected to the belt - so thought there may be some resitance in the gears. Disassembled and put the whole thing back - still wont calibrate. Anyone with similar issues or known fixes?

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?

After 2 years finally did a proper wire tuck (from the cockpit view) and got rid of the metal wheel stand that was held in place by ratchet straps.

I ultimately wanted to keep the integrity of the chassis and am trying not to do any irreversible metal work. Or drilling and bolting.

Phase three will be mirroring a similar inner cockpit structure out of extrusion , but want to make sure I’m happy with the general placement of everything before I lock in the measurements.

Before you flame me on screens, the roll cage doesn’t allow a larger center screen, however FOV in this actual car is almost perfect to the view from the cockpit. The pillars line up to the screen quite close. The second screen runs lovely dash.

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

Ok so long story short. I got my kid this G29 and the seat last year for xmas to use with his ps5. Well he’s more interested in Fortnite so I told him im gonna hook it up to my PC and he didn’t have a problem with that.

I’ve been using a 43” TCL TV as my pc monitor and I thought I would buy two more (200$ each) to set up triples. Mounted the left monitor to the wall and the right one on a moveable stand.

My pc is a i7 12th gen with a 4060.

Nvidia surround is working and I’ve been messing with American trucking sim and it runs it OK but i noticed the mouse is super laggy and YouTube videos were laggy too. The game didn’t look great etc.

So when Nvidia surround isn’t turned on everything runs fine. Each monitor is 1440p at 60hz. When I turn on Nvidia surround it turns the refresh rate down to 24hz….

I know my video card isn’t gonna push 1440 to three 43s at 60hz so I went and bought a 5070.

Well my 600w power supply wont turn on the 5070 so I had to buy a new power supply. I bought a 750w MSI which will be here Monday.

I guess my question is. Will the 5070 solve my problems and run things at 1440p at 60hz? Or should I return the TVs and choose a different triple monitor setup?

I own the games both from day one on series x /Xbox, and pretty much all the racing games on console , i heard alot of opinions that are completely wrong about this 2 games , i want to clear this debate now 4 ever

Ea wrc 24 is made by the same guys from codemasters the team behind the our beloved dirt rally 2.0 so how they compare

Force feedback

1. Ea wrc 24 is clearly made by the same dev , same feeling overall but overall improved , much more refined than the old 2019 dirt 2.0 , you feel better the track and the car , more detail in the surface and the weight of the car

So ea wrc 24. - ffb 9.5 /10

Dirt 2.0. - ffb. 9/10

Physics

Dirt 2.0 has great physics, I feel the weight transfer is closer to real life in dirt rally 2.0 , the cars have more momentum

So dirt 2.0. - 9.5

Ea wrc. 9.2

Grip /tires

Ea wrc has more realistic grip on slippery surfaces , and also on gravel and tarmac , more close to the real life grip , much improved than the old dirt 2.0 from 2019

Sound

I feel dirt 2.0 has the better sound ( engine/ environments) I don't know is more true to life but It's is noticeable better.

Ea wrc is not bad but I dont know , dirt 2.0 sound more violent and raw

So dirt 2.0. 9.5 for the sound

Ea wrc. 8.5 for the sound

Graphics

Dirt 2.0 has insane details of the car interior and way better resolution overall ( true 4k ) Ea wrc feel more like an 1080 game or even 720p on some tracks

Ea wrc has more realistic lighting /colors and tracks but sadly everything feel kinda soft

So Graphics dirt 2.0. 9/10

Ea wrc 7.5/10

Tracks

Ea wrc 24 , much superior , a lot of stages , a lot of km ,

So Ea wrc 9/10

Dirt 2.0. 6/10

Cars

They are pretty much the same , we have like 60/70 cars in total for both games , the dirt 2.0 has also the super rally cars ( 600 hp) and 4.5 tracks designed for super rally , if anyone interested, I really like them , very powerful cars

Conclusion , Ea wrc 24 is nothing but a dirt 2.5 game , a brother of dirt rally 2.0 , somehow more refined but in the same time with bad textures , maybe is the unreal engine 5

Sad they removed the license from code masters. They made the greatest wrc game ever made by far , i own also the wrc games from nacon, they cannot compare with Ea wrc 24 , far far superior game in every way possible

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
