Yes

Just wait till I put a moza r21 on it

#

Who knew that absolutely abusing a cheap logi shifter would break it

jolly night
#

logitech stuff doesn't break easily

#

also corsair should make a shifter

Or at least fanatec will

Moza shifter is amazing especially bc I put a moza handle brake on it

yeah

It’s really expensive tho

that has to be expensive

#

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?

scenic grail
#

And I also do vr

#

Because an uw or triple setup is too big

celest peak
#

monitor comes tomorrow, hopfully the rig by the end of the week. i already have a wheel and just ordered pedals

celest peak
#

still adjusting everything and nothing's wired

#

progress tho

celest peak
celest peak
#

finally got the ebrake done and button box mounted and bound. everything is done now

celest peak
#

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

celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
#

yeah you caught GAS

Those are like a grand eachNooooomolta

shell hearth
#

This just makes me mad

#

The wheel and wheelbase alone is 600$ 😭😭

celest peak
#

im like $600 into one wheel

#

i got a huge hookup on alot of my stuff though so i cant complain

celest peak
#

assetto still looks good for an older game

celest peak
#

new shifter on the way. hopefully no regrets !

celest peak

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

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

shell hearth
#

damn

celest peak
# shell hearth oh wow 349€

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

celest peak
#

gonna get this plain round one then I'll be good

#

one wheel with no buttons or anything

karmic iris
#

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

celest peak
# karmic iris What do u race on

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

celest peak

for example

last wheel i swear

shell hearth
#

How’s the Porsche wheel, I haven’t seen too many reviews on it

celest peak
#

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

celest peak

jk i bought one more 😈

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.

pretty cool, active shifter

Because I spent so much on their other one, I think i will hold off on this shifter, but I like it

shell hearth
#

@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

celest peak
#

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.

shell hearth
celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
shell hearth
#

I'm looking for cheap seats right now, isn't your bucket seat a little unconfortable for long sessions ?

celest peak
shell hearth
#

the main drawback with reclining seats is that when you break the seat moves

celest peak
#

maybe the trak racer GT fixed seat. the fanatec one is just thin

#

like this just looks more padded atleast

shell hearth
# celest peak 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

shell hearth
#

urghh but 258€, that's hurting my wallet a lot

celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
#

the TR ?

celest peak
#

yeah

shell hearth
#

you mentionned you had a gt omega before, which seat and cockpit did you have and what's your review on those ?

celest peak
#

I'm an idiot

#

I mean I'll send you my Fanatec* gt

#

I did have a gt omega

shell hearth
#

I think shipping is going to be more than the actual seat lol

celest peak
#

lol probably

shell hearth
#

yeah the TR seems to be a lot wider than the Gt Omega

#

but it's also quite a bit more expensive

celest peak
#

i had this seat before the fanatec one

shell hearth
celest peak
#

lol I'm re reading all your messages. Everytime you said gt omega I thought you were talking about the fanatec gt

shell hearth
#

lol yeah I can see the confusion

celest peak
#

I had the rs9. I didn't know they even had a bucket seat

#

is that the same company

shell hearth
#

yes it is

#

it's cheaper here in the EU

celest peak
#

oh okay, well if it means anything. the rs9 gt omega was more comfy than the fanatec gt

#

but obv they're different styles

shell hearth
celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
celest peak
#

sorry for all my confusion lol

shell hearth
#

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

celest peak
#

squeezed in which chair

shell hearth
#

the inertia

celest peak
#

cus Ive put on some winter pounds and I still fit in the fanatec bucket

#

that looks roomy imo

shell hearth
#

this one is roomier near the legs, it's also a much thicker pad near the knee, but it looks way less cool

shell hearth
#

like in a bucket seats do your shoulder go all the way to here or is the angle too sharp ?

celest peak
#

yeah the gt omega looks cooler lol, one of the reasons I like the trak racer

shell hearth
shell hearth
#

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€ 😔

any luck

shell hearth
#

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

celest peak
#

i was asking him about the flex yesterday after talking about seats with you

karmic iris
#

Honestly I think it'd be fine

shell hearth
#

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

yeah for sure, seems like you got a good price then

#

what are you doing for monitor(s)

shell hearth
#

Holy shit it’s already shipped

shell hearth
#

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

rn I just have my regular gaming chair plopped on the chassis which isn't great for loadcell pedals

celest peak
shell hearth
#

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

celest peak
#

Chasis

shell hearth
#

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…

celest peak

so I bought an articulating arm mount and swung it closer, worked out well.

Yeah the far one looks like it has good padding too

shell hearth
#

@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

celest peak

#

@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

thats like the same thing i did with my monitor

Odyssey G9 O.o

i dont have space for triples so its the best monitor for me IMO

shell hearth

wish I had a curved screen but even the basic ones are pretty expensive especially if you want IPS

celest peak
#

yeah they are expensive. I wanted one in OLED but couldnt find any

shell hearth
#

I think they make the G9 in oled now

celest peak
#

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

celest peak
#

i think its time for a new wheel

karmic iris

I need a podium hub at some point

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

# shell hearth 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

#

Ignore all my wires

shell hearth
#

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

new wheel base finally shipped

celest peak
#

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

scenic grail
#

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

#

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

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

celest peak
#

I wonder if you just do petg with a real high infill?

#

Or ABS as mentioned in the link

#

or did your chasis come with short pieces?

#

or do you commit and just cut what you have

shell hearth
celest peak
#

yea you would need like a benchtop bandsaw or something to get a nice straight cut id think

celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
celest peak
#

but getting the monitor lower and more eye level is a bonus regardless

shell hearth
#

Let’s say im in a semi formula seating position

celest peak
#

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

shell hearth
#

The adjustable base for my wheelbase is pretty high

celest peak
#

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

celest peak
#

if you split the extrusion and side mount

shell hearth
celest peak
#

yeah i angle mine up slightly

shell hearth
#

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

celest peak
#

old photo but shows the angle

I guess my pedal plate’s height isn’t very natural, but I can’t bring up my seat either

celest peak
#

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

thats good to hear, mods are the reason i still play Assetto Corsa

@celest peak @karmic iris the first part of my screen oolder has been built, and it's enormous lmao

It’s really stable though

Like it’s stable enough I could put 43" tvs on it, it has extenders up to VESA 400

celest peak
#

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

installed 1 monitor, it's crooked

#

it's fine, it's fixable, but I need to remove the whole monitor mount to adjust that

shell hearth
#

@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

celest peak
#

And that's a good distance, mine isn't much closer

shell hearth
#

Second screen is up, aaaand now I understand why alignment is a pain…

shell hearth
#

Also I have no idea how to measure the angle between monitors

celest peak
#

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

karmic iris
#

Cable management is the bane of my existence I will give you grace

celest peak
#

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

Hm

#

very similar to your F1 wheel though

#

now I want one

karmic iris
#

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

100€, not bad, and it even has an integrated cable stress relief

They said they are working on some new wheels too

Besides the one they announced

Their pedals are expensive, even the clubsport
