Howdy
hi beano
My shifter is broken :(
the cats behaving
Yes
Uppercase sat on a chair allll night by my head and slept
how nice
Lowercase taught Uppercase how to use the tower and he actually did!
just figured that out briggs is uppercase bugs is lowercase?
So big B and small b
looks expensive
Who knew that absolutely abusing a cheap logi shifter would break it
They probably will
Or at least fanatec will
Moza shifter is amazing especially bc I put a moza handle brake on it
They have one
yeah
that has to be expensive
read ur noti's
that’s midrange
didn't know this channel was here sold my setup a couple years ago, but I just ordered the new fanatec/corsair rig. hopefully everything comes this week, excited to get it setup
i was back and forth so much on monitors and whether or not to do triples. settled on the samsung 49 with the 1000r curve. what does everyone else do for monitors?
I’ve got an AGON (AOC) 27/1440/240 oled
And I also do vr
Because an uw or triple setup is too big
yeah i was worried about space in my office
monitor comes tomorrow, hopfully the rig by the end of the week. i already have a wheel and just ordered pedals
finally got the ebrake done and button box mounted and bound. everything is done now
the hardest part is not buying a new wheel every week, added some tubing to clean up wires from the PC and wall outlet too
aleady had the Porsche wheel but I wanted something with an LED display too so I just added the button module and paddles. The whole Fanatec rig has been solid so far too
Those are like a grand each
This just makes me mad
The wheel and wheelbase alone is 600$ 😭😭
yeah that a crazy deal
im like $600 into one wheel
i got a huge hookup on alot of my stuff though so i cant complain
new shifter on the way. hopefully no regrets !
matches my pedals
@karmic iris bruh I had no idea optimum had a 520s 😳😳
how does he make so much money after spending like 20-30k on his rig
honestly I love this guy's video every shot is just so on point, like MKBHD but more brutalist and more simracing
Dudes channel apparently does very well, idk if he works on the side or what but happy for him, he deserves it
he really does, kind of creates a dream of the perfect sim for all of us
formlabs also sponsored him, and that's a lot of boxes
have you seeen Joe Rogan's simulator? its wild
Wildly overpriced
But still wild by any standard for sure
Dang look at the size of that warehouse
new hand brake today, I think I'm all good now

Like the title says my friend sold me his old rig for $1300 it was the Sparco Seat, DD2 with the Club Sport wheel that has the QR2 quick release one of the F1 style wheels and an ASR1 Gen 1 frame. With the emergency stop button.
He was also going to include club sport v3 pedals but we both agreed my Simsonn pedals f...
Bro was caked
Pedal when
but the price he gottttttt
That's a good and caked friend
ooo
let me guess, 5999$ for this ?
lol nah it's under $500
btw fantec redid its website now
what did they change
I just ordered it , I'm such an idiot
Seems like a complete overhaul, corsairs sprinkling some touches here and there
Pedal when 😭
Bind your gas and brake to the wheel smh
new vision wheel, haven't had time to try it but felt pretty nice for it's tier
soon I will have all the wheels lol
damn
I didn't realize it is a CSL tier wheel, that's part of that lower price. it comes with the QR2 lite, which usually isn't rated for the 25nm but apparently on the Porsche Vision wheel it's okay since it's lighter
I did order QR2 pro anyway to go with it
gonna get this plain round one then I'll be good
one wheel with no buttons or anything
Damn dude you bought it immediately, looks sick
What do u race on
I have round rims but no hub for them yet, they don't fit my podium module, I need either a CSL hub or a podium hub for them
I play Assetto Corsa mostly. When I'm bored I just hop on AC server called Shutoko Revival Project. It's an online open city track with traffic. fun to mess around
lol it looks a little different than my other wheels so I could justify the purchase.
this server
for example
you can get off the highway and do city driving too
hello everynyan
what do you race on?
Mainly Iracing but also AC, just haven't had a chance to sit down and explore all the mods available and stuff, but I'm down for just about anything
my brother wants me to do a Miata league in LFM, not sure if I'm there yet but we'll see. he's already qualified for ACC and AC. you should join that Tokyo server tho if you aren't already
Yeah I'll have to look at it, I haven't had much time with finals and stuff going on but I'm almost wrapped up with the semester so I should have a bit more time
Also lfm? 🧐 What's that one stand for again?
lowfuelmotorsport
can we share discord links here?
I don't think I've played that one
I don't think you're supposed to but I'll join it while it's up lmao
Ah too slow
700k members ??
lol kinda wild cus there are only maybe 100 people on at any given time, spread across a few servers
i think i sent you a server invite too
going to try a buttkicker, never used one before. wasn't sure where to mount on this rig
Been trying to pick up a used one on marketplace a common place for most pedal is under/behind the seat
yeah the seat didn't have a good spot, I'm worried the metal is too thin where I just mounted it but we'll see. may try another spot where the left shifter mount would be
Closest to your butt
Pedal plate might be good too if that doesn't work
I have haptics on the individual pedals, I really only want it for road bumps and maybe tire spin, I just wanted a little more immersion
If it fits id go directly on the seat mount
https://www.rxddit.com/r/simracing/s/qUa4A7WI5K @karmic iris
Just an inchident really
Lance fault
That’s a lot of wheels may I have one
How’s the Porsche wheel, I haven’t seen too many reviews on it
I like the Vision wheel. feels really nice. has magnetic padels. the knobs leave a little to be desired. they aren't as smooth as the ones on like the clubsport and podium wheels though
but the little led screen can do a lot with telemetry and shift indicators which is nice.
I really wish Fanatec had a wheel with the nice aesthetic led colored buttons like their podium bmw wheel but for a more affordable price
jk i bought one more 😈
Madlad
should be here today
nice desk clock
Wow
I had a 25% off code and that was on top of it being 25% off. seemed like a good time to buy it
almost $900 off
Sheesh
^^all that money and it doesn't work 💀. First time using their support, and man its so painful to have to wait a day between messages with them while trying to troubleshoot
You said you have two of them right?? Do they both not work?
Two of the Bentley wheels? lol no just one. The wheel works and everything but the video display while its on its stand is suuuuuper laggy
oh you mean this? I just meant I bought one more wheel in general. I keep saying I'm not going to buy anymore wheels
Oh gotcha, I thought you just said screw it and bought two of em 😭
new wheel, same problem. I don't get it
ignore the " dad, what's the coneheads?"
Adorable 😭😂
That's disappointing with the wheel though
@celest peak https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DM3KI18sfO2/? insane car project
Also insane to trust your life on a sim racing wheel
that thing looks amazing! lol and yeah I think the only Fanatec wheel I'm using IRL is that Bentley or BMW one
what's their Instagram name. I don't have the app and can only see this one video but wanted to look the car up
moza about to revolutionize sim racing
new button box. wanted to use the Xeneon Edge but it really didn't like me using Displayfusion to switch to my sim monitor. simple is better sometimes
forgot to print a piece to stop light bleed. looks better now
moza stuff looks nice, I like simagic too. id try their wheelbase if I wasn't so deep in Fanatec wheels 😄
cheap little shoe protectors
Dream lineup for me, damn…

This sub is a perfect example of affluence and the disconnection from reality it produces. "Budget rig" is a sliding scale for sure and there are many opinions as to what defines a budget rig. I'm willing to bet a majority of us can agree that if you're buying a brand name aluminum rig as a 1st setup you are excluded from the Budget Rig Gang. Go...

What an incredible range from Thermaltake! From coolers to fans to PCs to wheelbases to pedals to motion to rigs… Absolutely insane stuff. Very impressive… BUT… I can’t help but recognise heavy inspiration from @cube.controls products and @moza_racing_official products. It was a real pity for me to find out th...
dude just use a headset at that point
Good gravy $1700?? 😭
I have their BDH H2SQ so I've already swallowed that pill, lol
Because I spent so much on their other one, I think i will hold off on this shifter, but I like it
@celest peak I'm buying my simrig rn, do you think the haptic pedals and buttkicker are worth it ?
why is everything so expensive bruh
haptic pedals in my opinion are worth it
the butt kicker i could go either way. mine is turned way down and just does minor road bumps and bumps from shifting .I use it more for immersion
you can add all the haptics later though.
yeah for sure, my bank account will need to recover for some time with this investment anyways lol
the pedal haptics are nice, I have different vibration frequencies set for wheel lock vs abs, TCS on the accelerator etc
lol I'm excited for you, you need to get on SRP online track for assetto corsa
is it like a map you can roll around like in GTA ?
yeah it's modeled after some highways in Tokyo but it's free roam, small list of cars and maybe 30 people in a server. fun to follow people
I'm looking for cheap seats right now, isn't your bucket seat a little unconfortable for long sessions ?
seems fun !
yeah for sure. if I was gonna change anything it would be the seat. I was shopping some
which ones were you looking at ?
the main drawback with reclining seats is that when you break the seat moves
I still want a bucket style like GT seat. I just need one with more padding
maybe the trak racer GT fixed seat. the fanatec one is just thin
like this just looks more padded atleast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0N_AkcCtbo according to him the GT Omega is actually pretty good for long sessions, he's 56 y/o and spends 30h a week on his rig
I've been putting my GT Omega Inertia Bucket Seat through its paces for over a year now, and let me tell you—this thing has been an absolute champ! It’s held up through all my terrible driving, high-speed spins, and the occasional dramatic lean into corners (as if that actually helps). So, let’s take a closer look at this bad boy, and I’...
I just need more cushion, I like the rest of the chair
my boney ass just can't sit in that seat for two hours, lol
i see
urghh but 258€, that's hurting my wallet a lot
then I need to get a vinyl so it's white to match my rig aesthetic
I'll send you my gt omega seat if you pay the outrageous shipping lol
wait how many seats do you own lmao
well in talking to you I've decided to pull the trigger and just get the more padded seat
Im very spur of the moment with my spending lol
hence all my wheels, lol
the TR ?
yeah
you mentionned you had a gt omega before, which seat and cockpit did you have and what's your review on those ?
I think shipping is going to be more than the actual seat lol
yeah the TR seems to be a lot wider than the Gt Omega
but it's also quite a bit more expensive
i had this seat before the fanatec one
ahhh I see
lol I'm re reading all your messages. Everytime you said gt omega I thought you were talking about the fanatec gt
lol yeah I can see the confusion
oh okay, well if it means anything. the rs9 gt omega was more comfy than the fanatec gt
but obv they're different styles
yeah, the rs9 is basically a gaming desk chair, it flexes a lot if you have a heavy break pedal
and as far as that gt omega cockpit, it was sturdy, I liked it
yeah it did have flex, I would personally stick with a fixed seat at this point
yeah, and it looks like 10x cooler, that definetly improves your lap time by 2s
sorry for all my confusion lol
I actually measured my DxRacer desk chair and it's like almost narrower, but the side angles aren't as aggressive of course
I'm just really afraid I'll be squeezed in too much
squeezed in which chair
the inertia
cus Ive put on some winter pounds and I still fit in the fanatec bucket
that looks roomy imo
this one is roomier near the legs, it's also a much thicker pad near the knee, but it looks way less cool
I'm mostly afraid for the shoulder width
like in a bucket seats do your shoulder go all the way to here or is the angle too sharp ?
yeah the gt omega looks cooler lol, one of the reasons I like the trak racer
I see
they're both gt omega, just different models
also if I want other people to enjoy my sim, I'm afraid it wont be very comfy
eh fuck it
@karmic iris im gonna do the thing
after months and months lol
oh shit
when I add the seat shipping goes from 60€ to 140€ 😔
I would focus on what seat will fit you best
Do it 😭
I second this
You're going to be using it more than anyone else
They can deal with some slight discomfort for an 30 minutes to an hour or so
140€ of shipping 😭😭
Forget the chair and squat lol
how do i break if im squatting
Try and shop for bucket seats on marketplace
Yeah it’s what I’m doing rn
any luck
Can’t message people on marketplace, once I get that sorted I have a bunch of options
OMP doesn’t have any visible mounting points and no bracket
gt2i one has the rail but I’ll need a slider for any of them
This one looks pretty good even if it’s not a rigid bucket seat
Im leaning strongly for this one tbh, 250€ total, it looks like alcantara, adjustable and everything
Only thing is that it might flex under breaking, it’s my only worry
What do we think ‘here guys
my brother has a nicer sim than me and he has an adjustable back seat and it barely flexs, even using the load cell brakes and everything
i was asking him about the flex yesterday after talking about seats with you
Honestly I think it'd be fine
Alright I’ll try this one out then
I’ll order the cockpit and pedals TODAY, then I’ll order the seat so I can send it back if it flexes too much since I have 14 days
COCKPIT IS ORDERED
Pedals when
Before tonight
Lit
did you get that super cheap? prime lite I thought was like $800
the cheapest one is the Prime Lite R but it only has a small extrusion on the bottom, that one is 200€
I paid about 420€ with shipping for the prime Lite which is super sturdy
you can see the difference between the two, definetly worth the upgrade
yeah for sure, seems like you got a good price then
what are you doing for monitor(s)
Holy shit it’s already shipped
I got an HTC vive, not the best but the cheapest solution
Otherwise I’d need a monitor stand (100€+), a gaming monitor (200-300€), right now VR will be fine
The resolution is pretty low unfortunately
thats nice to get things moving before the weekend
i used VR on my old seetup, i liked it
my progression over time
but like if i'm 100-200m away from a corner the resolution makes it so it's hard to judge the distance...
i like how the price of it went up exponentially
That's why they say buy once cry once 😭
I love using my quest 3, it's just annoying when you have to do literally anything else (check your phone text people back etc.)
So I use my monitors 90% of the time NGL
for me it's refrsh rate, resolution and eye fatigue
the Vive came out in 2016, damn...
120hz and res on the quest 3 is pretty good NGL, but eye fatigue/head fatigue is definitely a thing, gets sweaty too
also only being sharp in the very center is sort of annoying
Also, your experience is entirely dependent on how good your wifi is, cause your only real option is wireless streaming
lol I cried a lot
I cry every time I find something new to buy 😭
waiting on the specs for the new Fanatec wheel base, may upgrade to that
I like the dd1 though
Sustained 25nm, peaks of up to 33 NM? I think that's what I've heard
I have a lot of headroom already, I only run the DD1 at 50%ish. more curious about improvements and features
Off the top of my head, I know they have true Force which the implementation is questionable considering I don't know if all SIM titles have adopted it yet. I think iRacing is just getting around to using it
yeah hardly any if any use it
google says ACC uses it ,i didnt even know that one did
you could power a fucking car with that amount of torque
yeah 33 is silly. like I said mine is down to 40-50%. I think having that wide range of nm though makes some things maybe more smooth/defined and responsive
It’s ok
$150 for a 27-1080p va is ok
It is 280hz tho
$154.43
ha I could get it $4.43 cheaper
trying different shift knobby
you up and running yet?
partly yeah; screen mount is arriving tomorrow but I'm still missing a seat which will be there next week or before !
rn I just have my regular gaming chair plopped on the chassis which isn't great for loadcell pedals
another week?! lol I hate waiting for stuff. Thats cool though. How do you like the wheels and pedals?
yeah but I really want to try a bucket seat tomorrow to be sure of what I want
pedals and wb are really great, I just setup my screen on a regular monitor arm (not ideal but like WAY cheaper than GT omega's mounting option)
the problem right now is that my seat is like way too high so my heel is off the ground
the Wheelbase and steering wheel are great, never tried non-ffb wheels but on this you can definetly feel a ton of details
Awesome, glad the pedals and my wheelbase are good! Yeah my monitor is actually attached to a monitor arm too. I just bolted it right to the fanatec chassis
Chasis
Yeah I don’t get why the factory stands are 200€+ if it’s for a single monitor honestly
So I tried VR and now my 27" 1440p, it’s hard to say what I prefer really, VR is nice for the immersion of course, but uncomfortable after an hour and resolution is pretty low…
the fanatec rig has a spot to mount a monitor but i wanted my monitor right behind the steering wheel
so I bought an articulating arm mount and swung it closer, worked out well.
agreed, VR is fun and immersive, but overall I prefer a monitor. If you get triples or a wide curved in the future, it will help with that aspect
@torn wing @karmic iris
Yes I have a monitor mounted but it’s the one from my normal desktop lol
stop buying monitors
I'm jealous, would love to be able to try some seats out before I buy
well they only have 3 seat options unfortunately

those are my 3 choices, I think i'll buy the one further away on the second pic
I like the fabric but I'm afraid it won't be breathable enough
the meshy texture isn't really nice feeling tbh
Yeah the far one looks like it has good padding too
@celest peak I'm having trouble deciding for myself, the gt2i looks great, bottom cushion looks great
the Nitro would be available like right now but I'm worried it might be too small in height, my head almost goes over the top (I'm 182cm)
I'm just wondering your opinion on breathable mesh vs cotton/fabric
nvm the gt2i backrest is 93cm vs 99cm for the nitro, it's a pretty big difference
but I do wonder how I'm gonna mount a buttcicker on any of them
I would just mount the butt kicker to the chassis.
what about mesh vs fabric what's your take
I'll probably go for a noname cheaper version though, but I also own a 3d printer
I don't have a preference but your mesh theory makes sense to me
worst case i'll try to return it if it's really too hot
@celest peak sorry for the cable mess
Super cool thing about this seat (idk if it’s normal or not) the whole cover is tensioned by a metal wire and a spring so it’s super tight
nice, looks good. glad to see it coming together. seat looks nice
thats like the same thing i did with my monitor
It’s very comfortable
What da dog doin
Odyssey G9 O.o
yeah the 1000r curve is nice
and 49" too lol
i dont have space for triples so its the best monitor for me IMO
wish I had a curved screen but even the basic ones are pretty expensive especially if you want IPS
yeah they are expensive. I wanted one in OLED but couldnt find any
I think they make the G9 in oled now
yeah they had an OLED one, but I THINK its the 1800r curve
so a little less curvy
I would like a 49" 1000r OLED if this exists
i think its time for a new wheel
😭 bro wasted no time getting a new wheel
I need a podium hub at some point
Lol I want some light up buttons. I was holding off til the sim expo but Fanatec didn't have any new wheels. So I'll buy this for now
I like those, I turned them down and turned off a lot of what they react to

quite the flex to have the GT3 wheel of the 570 000€ car in your garage lol
the level of detail is so insane to me
It's also insane how well he knows that track and little details
well he does about 1000 laps a year soooo
Crazy, I see his videos all the time but didn't realize he did 1000 a year
I barely know all the turns
yeah he drives 400-500 cars a year too, there are really a ton of public sessions and he films all day
he also does the 24h of nurb so that adds a couple of laps easily
LMAO I wasn’t prepared for this https://www.rxddit.com/r/simracing/s/bZINFe6BoN
@torn wing Look at this
https://www.rxddit.com/r/simracing/s/kBEexo7noN

That’s like putting a Koenigsegg 1000bhp V8 in the chassis of a lada

Triple 55s is insane
Im sure max would have great things to say about that article
daaang, congrats. such a nice wheel. condition looks good too!
I need to revive the alcantara because it’s really padded down but yeah it works great
i think you can replace those as well? maybe, I have a spare oem set of the blue ones
Did you contact them for the grips ? I’d love to see what blue would look like on my wheel
Online simracing be like: https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DOgH_qODLuN/?
My brother got them from Fanatec when this version came out. He said they didn't want to sell them separately so I'm not sure how he talked them into it. Then I bought his wheels and base
Looks so good with the blue accent CF !
You also got the podium shifters with the clutches
The DD1 it came with has the blue carbon wrap too
Only wish it wasn’t the price of a whole wheel
What I didn’t anticipate with a smaller wheel is the huge increase in FFB (I mean I know what’s a mechanical advantage, it just didn’t click on how big of a difference it is going from 330mm to 270mm)
Yeah for sure, even from car to car I have diff fbb set because they can differ so much
Yeah look into chunky/pineapple grips, I know they sell some that are thicker, maybe even drop in replacements @shell hearth
I mean if I wanted to I could just wrap stuff you put on tennis rackets, honestly I’m fine with this alcantara
Apparently it’s genuine Alcantara
Or 3D print TPU grips fr
TPU doesn’t really grip a lot tbh
Fuzzy skin fr
Didn't know they existed, looks like they do replacement alcantara ones, only thing is the plastic is 3d printed part
But looks like you can elect for a better finish as well with the MJF

Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this in the hope that others will find it useful, perhaps if they're considering doing the same project.
I'll get it out of the way now, I race in VR, so the screen, my LED matrixes are all completely pointless at the moment. I am moving in a couple of months and will be getting triples...
that's some serious shit
yeah MJF is really great
thought I don't think i'll be replacing my grips, 60£ is a bit much then add the import taxes and everything
That's a nice wheel, I built their button box
how much was it ?
It was expensive, a little over 200, but I also bought the aluminum backbox and face plate which was like $120. You can print all those pieces instead
The print files are $8 instead of $120 for the aluminum parts
The steam deck XL is more ideal because you can switch profiles and everything through sim hub
But I wanted physical buttons and I only play one game, lol
Any idea if you or anyone has premade profiles for the stream deck XL? Can't be bothered or have the time to make my own 😭 would love to just import some
I know there are some on overtake, I can ask my brother, he uses a stream deck. I do not have any, I've only used the Pokornyi
That'd be great if it's not too much trouble!
Damn
he has the regular streamdeck not the xl, not sure if the profiles would be different then?
Might just not populate the whole display which would be fine I think
From Santa
Huh I’ve never seen this one before
My Christmas present was a screen upgrade, I’m torn between a g9 and a triple screen
On one end I don’t have a ton of space for a 27", and I’m concerned they won’t have enough vertical height, on the other end the g9 really doesn’t seem to be immersive enough (even with a 1000R curve they just don’t go around your face as much) and it would be more expensive than brand new 27"s even used
Well vertical height is exactly the same as a 27" actually, and unfortunately I don’t have the space AT ALL for the optimal solution which would be 32"s
That's the rally module
Yeah my brother runs triples, they are def more immersive and can really wrap around. You see a lot more too. I just don't have the space in my office, I'm happy with the 1000r* though. I also have my screen almost touching my wheel
And yeah, rally module like Tendies said. I just wanted light up buttons on a Fanatec wheel, lol
Yeah they look really cool !
My only real issue is that I’ll need a second gpu just to manage the display outputs lol
That's a nice wheel. I will never understand why Fanatec doesn't do wheels with back lit buttons
you mean like the one you just bought 😆
Lol it's like that and the BMW wheel and that's it
https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DOdi7M1ArX0/? Light speed reflexes holy shit
Very nice, for Christmas? That's awesome
Yeah its amazing
no wayyyy
Bro has gotta be lying 😭
Probably for the better
@shell hearth my brothers setup
Are the black lights to simulate endurance racing lights to keep you awake ?
It's actually reactive lighting or whatever to the display. They just weren't turned on yet when I took picture

Just finished designing and 3D printing a mount to install the Simagic Alpha EVO on a Sim-Lab P1X Pro.
As many of you know the Alpha EVO now uses a separate front-mount bracket, but when you try to run it on the Sim-Lab front mount, it only fits if you rotate the wheelbase 90 degrees. It technically works, but I wasn...
Those are some clean AF prints
No it’s not ironing
I'm on my phone give me a break dirt boy 😔
It’s probably a CF filament and the flat surface is a textured build plate
Me too buddy boy
https://fixupx.com/HorrorUntitled/status/2006833941387645414?s=20 is FS24 the new hottest sim out there ❓❓
Driving a buggy down a mountain road somewhere in Colorado in MS Flight Simulator 2024 lol
lol that things on rails
have you tried Nurburgring on AC Evo? It looks really good
lol ofcourse these would come on two different days
he doesnt know how well this will import since he downloaded an icon pack for it
Oooo thanks I appreciate it! I'm out of town, but I'll definitely be giving this a try Monday!
The full lineup
Holy crap
What should be next?
You could go for the CSL GT3 wheel I guess but you already have a similar one with less buttons
Idk personally I would never ever need that many wheels lmao
Lol yeah I use maybe 4 of them but I enjoy having them instead of selling when I upgrade
Thought about branching out and getting one of those wheels you posted earlier
If I had another podium hub will the wheel plug into that?
Or does it have to go to my PC in some other manner? I see a long cord with it
a little gift to me 
looks sick though the cat maybe doesn't look so thrilled about the expenses not being on it
https://fixupx.com/jeracerx/status/2007545316485349402?s=20 rally drivers are a diff breed
God watching the Dakar recap and I don't think I've ever seen a driver start raging mid-rollover
https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DSRvD9kjNiS/? simracers hate this one simple trick
My brother wants me to race Lemans online with him and this is exactly why I won't lol, the anxiety of causing that pile up
Wow
If I had a moza base it would certainly be a great wheel to own
https://simracingsetup.com/product-guides/use-moza-wheel-with-fanatec-wheel-base/ I mean it can be done
Well that answers my questions from earlier, why can't that just plug into the hub?
I like that alot
well I thought it was an integrated solution without a cable but it's not the case
just a 70mm moza mount adapter to a 70mm fanatec mount
and you also need a 50€ moza hub for the wheel, sad it's not usb
edit: actually I know why it's not usb, it needs more than 5W for the beefy wheels, I'm stupid
sheeesh they got more stuff
this ones pretty cool too, it's 1299
If I didn't get the Bentley wheel for $1100 I'd be even more offended, what a nice wheel for 1299
Anyone else wondering where on earth the official 'Fanatec Discord' is? Does one even exist? I know we can use Reddit for most things, but surely there should be a Discord too!?

That looks super nice, I want one
Why is Fanatec so expensive
This would be $750 at Fanatec
@karmic iris @celest peak
Very exciting! Upgrades all day! Did you get a mount?
Nooo not yet they’re wayyyy too expensive for a bunch of extrusions
I’ll order it in 1-2 weeks
Are you gonna do a bezel free kit?
Ehhh it’s 100€, I heard mixed feelings about it, I’ll see afterwards if it’s really worth it, I know I can DIY it but I don’t really want to cut up a monitor and make a mess
I’m pretty sure AliExpress probably has clones, it’s not a particularly sophisticated product
@torn wing What do you think
I approve
where do you get the funds for these
See, there are some questions not to be asked
They were only 140€ a piece btw, pretty much a steal for 1440p@180hz 27"
Also slight issue is that I don’t have a lot of space in my room for it, it’s gonna be a tight fit but it should work
It would’ve been the same with the Odeyssey G9 tbh
Yeah they are def expensive but they work well. I saw some cheaper ones on Amazon and wonder how well they work
well the basic materials aren't really expensive, it's the lenticular lens layer of monitors, it probaly cost them 10-20$ to produce it max
my apologies
I'm mad that my IPS 170hz 1440p 27" was 250 euro almost, but it unironically was the price of those monitors back when I got it sooo
bruh @karmic iris
https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DTZTwmvimoO/? is Russell reviewing the wheel
Started using this to quickly load all my apps before I sit down in the rig. The tach gif is also a macro to switch my monitors over as well to my sim rig
Don't you just love it, a piece of advice I always hear people throw around is "steer where they were not where they'll be"
Who wants to buy my DD1?!
Sure !
And a club sport RS wheel!
tight squeeze
new wheel base finally shipped
Had it for 10 minutes and dropped it on the tile floor
@shell hearth
Surely I damaged the motor, it fell right on the shaft
I wonder what their exchange policy is for blatant ignorance
They’re probably chill tbh just don’t try to hide it or be sneaky
Lol yeah that's what I told my wife, I'm gonna tell them I flat out dropped it
They’ll probably be ok
Added a little haptic to the e brake, doesn't do much for immersion, lol but was pretty cheap mod
Honestly I did the same with mine lol
I’m thinking about buying a knockoff buttkicker, does it really add that much more immersion ?
Hurts having to spend this much for a monitor stand but there really isn’t a cheaper alternative unfortunately
Bought the quad because you get a discount if you get 2 items, if I get it now it’s cheaper than paying the extra shipping if I get it later
If I forget to turn my amp on at this point, my sim feels lacking and I notice right away. I will always recommend a buttkicker
https://www.rxddit.com/r/Fanatec/s/aO3N9WavGd thinking about sidemounting too, cutting 2 small extrusions is probably super cheap
🖼️ Gallery: 7 Images
I finally made a side mount for the base on my fully self made rig. Some measuring, an hour of 3D in Fusion and 6 hours of printing.
Plates are 15 mm thick with 35% infill and full material around the holes.
Last photo was my somewhat crude mounting of the base beforehand.
What do you guys think?
If I use something like PC it’s going to be solid enough
It would let me mount my monitors lower
I wonder if you just do petg with a real high infill?
Or ABS as mentioned in the link
lol, well it works so crisis averted . I still would like a replacement for that QR2 piece
I guess structural rightist isn’t much of a concern, most important is flex
do you have to buy those 2 shorter pieces of aluminum too?
or did your chasis come with short pieces?
or do you commit and just cut what you have
I guess I could chop up my current one, but I don’t have the tool for it
yea you would need like a benchtop bandsaw or something to get a nice straight cut id think
they are taking preorders
$2500 is just too rich for me. if they drop the price i might bite
its 2687 after taxes and before shippings
I mainly wanna do it because the bottom extrusion actually hits my legs, it’s annoying
i dont think i know what you mean
but getting the monitor lower and more eye level is a bonus regardless
I got an adjustable pedal plate, my knees often hit the bottom of the extrusion that supports the wheelbase
Let’s say im in a semi formula seating position
oh, would you raise the extrusion since you can then have the base lower or at the same height?
unrelated but I just took the haptic off the ebrake, and mounted right to the plate that the shifter and ebrake mount to. Then i set the haptics to road bumps and engine RPMS, now i can feel it in the shifter when the engine is screaming etc. Adds some nice immersion
This is what I mean, there is probably 5-7cm above my knees, and some of my friends hit it easily
The adjustable base for my wheelbase is pretty high
oh okay, so you could raise that extrusion much higher and still have the wheelbase in the same spot or even lower and still have more leg room
Sounds awesome
if you split the extrusion and side mount
Yeah, and I could have it angled upwards a bit too
yeah i angle mine up slightly
Hmmm yeah I think I’ll just cut my extrusion directly, it’s probably even cheaper to get 1 large replacement piece than 2 small extra pieces
I think my uni’s fablab has a circular saw
old photo but shows the angle
Yeahhh this is great, a bit more natural
yeah i thought about that later on, i think a tabletop saw with a metal blade woud be better than the bandsaw i proposed
I guess my pedal plate’s height isn’t very natural, but I can’t bring up my seat either
its hard to tell, but the pedals look like a decent height, and then I think you just want a little bend in your knee. I like mine so if my leg is fully extended it rests like just beyond the pedal position if that makes sense
Further details about Assetto Corsa EVO's modding are now clear, and it will be more open than originally planned, with all-new tools.
thats good to hear, mods are the reason i still play Assetto Corsa
updated my shaders, lighting looks good for an old game
thats nice they finally make this
I had gotten a custom one a while back because Fanatec didnt have one yet
@celest peak @karmic iris the first part of my screen oolder has been built, and it's enormous lmao
I really like the mterial they went with but it's way expensive for what it offers, especially compared to the competition, simagic is literally cheaper
Pics
Gotta adjust everything, but I still need to build the monitor arms lmfao
It’s really stable though
The thumbnail preview made it look like you had black and white accents everywhere, looked kinda sick ngl
looks good, so you are going from single to triples iirc, how are you building the arms??
Like it’s stable enough I could put 43" tvs on it, it has extenders up to VESA 400
and thats funny about the white seat, i had the exact same thought, looked like a white and black theme with that foot rest for the pedals
I still need to install the extra arms, I also got the 4th monitor but I don’t have a monitor to put on it yet, and I don’t have the video outputs either lol
lol it’s the first bits of nice light we’re getting after 3 straight months of depressing grey days
I feel that, I can finally see my lawn again for the first time in weeks
like you have 2 screws on top, 4 on the front of the VESA plate, that thing ain't going nowhere, and the little arms are for VESA 250-400
thats intense but yes it looks sturdy, I understand that all the weight is on the front side of those feet, but it still looks scary how they dont extended back haha
true, I guess I could move it back a bit further if I feel like it's unstable, but with the triple monitor arms I think it will be very hard to tipover
oh yeah I think you are golden, most of them are designed like that. it just wild how you can get 4 monitors on that thing, it looks like it would tip backwards but you are right all that weight is forward
installed 1 monitor, it's crooked
it's fine, it's fixable, but I need to remove the whole monitor mount to adjust that
Basically this
@celest peak @karmic iris
Monitor ain’t centered but it’s no issue
This is 60cm away from my head, just in front of my wheelbase, hopefully it’ll be better when I’ll have side mounting
Very nice, looks good! You should get SRP
And that's a good distance, mine isn't much closer
Second screen is up, aaaand now I understand why alignment is a pain…
Yeah it’s the default distance pretty much
Also I have no idea how to measure the angle between monitors
Yeah in my brief googling, that seems tricky haha
If you do have questions in all seriousness I can forward them along to my brother. He's pretty sharp with his I had him help set all mine up. He's an aerospace engineer too, he's very thorough
@celest peak @karmic iris pay NO attention to the absolute cable rat’s nest
Cable management is the bane of my existence I will give you grace
Looking good!
Lol yeah my cables were pretty good until I kept upgrading and they got less and less organized
I dont even know how many months later but they finally provided a file to fix the Bentley wheel video issue
still no pedals
They announced it in Jan bruh fanatec is so cooked compared to the competition
Fanatec pedals suck NGL 😭 I want new ones
The new ones look good, I'd try them if I ever get tired of mine
4th gear is overrated
Added a small dash, works well
Brand new gripsss
They look good, are those OEM?
Yupppp 6€ per pair

very similar to your F1 wheel though
Looks like they just made the screen slightly bigger tho
If you already have one not worth the upgrade imo
Slightly is a little bit of an understatement but still lol
If it had back lit buttons I'd buy it

i LOVE that steering wheel
I do too, but I don’t love the price
my wife would kill me though. I think im buying a clapped out BMW this week too
so it wouldn't help my case
so with this QR2 ultra, do i still need a USB to my pc?
Yeah you can’t many anything communicate with the fanatec software unfortunately…
NICE
What if we all pitch in and make it a brotherhood of the travelling sim wheel kind of thing 😂
@shell hearth
Lmao good idea, I think the shipping costs are gonna be quite high for me tho
The shipping fees would go crazy yeah
Lol I like it
https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DXHlFFWj79g/?igsh=a3N THIS IS SO COOL
it had me fooled even if he didn’t drive wth
100€, not bad, and it even has an integrated cable stress relief
also this
They said they are working on some new wheels too
Besides the one they announced
Their pedals are expensive, even the clubsport
expensive, too little, too late
