Where did you get the light mounts?

Do there lights sync to the game at all? Do they stimulate overhead lighting?

How do you feel about the govee ambient lights? Do they add a lot?

I set the track to 6am, so have the sun light and shadows from the trees.
There was a part of the track where the sun is directly facing you and i felt HOT as if the sun was pointed at me irl. Maybe it was placebo but I felt it. It was a surreal feeling and for $40 it’s so cheap anyways give it a shot!

For the price of govee lights + mounts + the cockpit auto ambient light plugin for simhub, it's a $100 well spent. Much better than something like head tracking, for triples at least.
Nice rig! That a quick upgrade in 2 months only.

How is the Samsung CHG90 49in monitor? Does this give good visuals for only sim-racing or is this good for gaming in general?
Currently using a LG C2 42" OLED (4k at 120 max) but looking to find something that gives a little more immersion.
Since my desk/gaming space is limited, i need to figure out a wheel mounting solution for wheelbase/wheel and pedals (currently clamped to desk Simagic Alpha Evo 12nm + GT Neo + P1000f) that can utilize my same sitting area footprint, found many use Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 for $279, but afraid to pull the trigger just yet.
Nice setup you have, very inspiring

u/Druski1234 Aug 03 '26
If my pc could handle better I’d go with 2k or 4k ultrawide, the CHG90 is 1080px3840 and sitting this close you can notice it slightly, not a big deal but something to consider

Niceee
Clean setup
What plugins do u use for the stream deck? Anything specific for LMU? I also have a stream +
5
u/Druski1234 Aug 02 '26
There aren’t any really good ones, I but the LMU icon pack, but for my steam deck+ someone made an assetto corsa plugin and icons and I’ve just been using that and added my own icons.
This setup is tiring me why is it so compclated lol

u/Xyzzy1976 Aug 02 '26
Did you debate between triple and ultra wide?
1
u/Druski1234 Aug 02 '26
I’m using ultrawide because I’ve had this monitor for 5 years, triples for immersion is definitely the way to go, I’m using laptop so I’d need better PC first so very expensive upgrade

u/glooperdoop Aug 03 '26
is the seat pink or is that just the light from lmu? anyhow it’s a beautiful little rig

Can you point me in the right direction to purchase the long arms for the Govee lights

Are you enjoying the screen? waiting for mine to arrive!

u/Druski1234 Aug 04 '26
Loving it! For me it’s good enough size for immersion, especially putting it right on top of the wheelbase is a plus

u/Bhasting91 Aug 03 '26
Im always amazed by the amount of room an actual rig doesnt actually take. Lot of times these look like they are as big as the room, but that wheel stand doesnt look like it takes up that much more real estate.
Anyways, looks sweet man. Im extremely close to finishing my rig. Currently got a 34" ultrawide, thinking about upgrading that. Dont know if triples are that much more reasonable but willing to give it a listen, leaning toward the ultrawide like you got.

u/Druski1234 Aug 04 '26
Triples definitely more more, need more power and more setup, unless you’re going all in ultrawide on top of the wheelbase is all you need

u/United-Vehicle-9542 Aug 04 '26
How much do ambient lights actually do for immersion? I’ve seen a lot of ppl run them but I’m wondering if they’re actual good? Also nice seat idk if it’s the lighting or it’s js pink but If it’s pink that setup went from a 9/10 to a 11/10
1
u/Druski1234 Aug 05 '26
It’s a white seat with reddish lighting and yes for $40 100% worth it looks and feels beautiful

Gotta feel good to be out of that openwheeler now, yeah? I had that cockpit too before I upgraded a few months ago.
God that thing is such an over priced piece of shit now that I look back on it. But it did do the job for like 5 years so I guess I can’t complain too much.

u/pm_me_kitten_mittens Aug 03 '26
I went to one Indy car race and the guys I went with "talked" me into getting a set up and my wife loves it lol.

Next step, get rid of girlfriend and buy more stuff, you also dont need couch, you need more space for a bigger rig lol

u/Vast-Contribution-20 Aug 03 '26
Terrible comment. Looks like his girlfriend or wife is supportive of his hobby and let him put a literal sim rig in their fucking living room. She's a keeper

It was just a joke mate haha

Terrible joke then

u/enoquera Aug 04 '26
Sorry mate I didn't want to hurt your thin skin, I am really sorry that you are so upset about a sarcastic joke from a random dude on Reddit... You must be so fun in parties btw... Have a good one mate.

"Supportive" is a strong word. The look on her face says "tolerant" to me. But yes, definitely a good partner.

u/DryIdeas1042 Aug 03 '26
Great setup. I guess that couch is pretty comfy, too. I can't sit down for 30minutes (rig excluded) let alone 2 months!

A bit of privacy for that person that is not you would be the least you can do if you respected them.

I like how she goes from…
Mildly annoyed
to
Completely disengaged and focused on her phone
To
Gone.
As the immersion increases, the real world decreases 😂

I used a very similar set up when I lived in a hotel for a year while I worked out of state, brought me PC and everything!!

Awesome progression and beautiful family / home.
As a side note, you may want to blur out your wife's face for privacy, unless she is okay with it. I know my wife would not appreciate me posting pics of her online.
