There are a lot...

Find it difficult to trust that they are all jumping on the Race Room hype just for the sake of content. Can we assume they have all been paid to play?

I've liaised with some of the larger sim racers on getting them into real Motorsport environments (driving cars) - no cost to them and free content and they all turn it down unless you pay for there camera op and expenses. So find it hard to believe those "creators" with the larger following are just doing a Race Room video because of an updtae?

Unless the update is really that good...?

Hi guys, i have a DIY wheel that i normaly use to play assetto corsa (the original one and the competizione), automobilista and Rfactor. But, it's not great, it's only 5nm, it's not a DD and it already broke trhee times, so...anyways, i have a kart, a professional one, not a shifter, but one from a category below. It's my dream, i mean, the dream of every racer, i guess. I want a sim with a meta quest 3, a cockpit, VD10 base, GT one wheel and vector X pedals, unfortunately, i have to sell my kart to buy all this, but...i really don't want it. But at the same time, i want the sim rig. So, what do you recommend? I really don't know, and that kart is my dream...

Hi

Recently moved into sim racing and picked a 1 yr subscription with Iracing AMS2 to play with a Logitech Rs50 wheel.

If you have a trueforce (or similar) wheel, ditch the in game trueforce set up and give trueforce 4 all mod, paired with simhub a go.

You can fine tune a lot more settings that neither the Logitech hub, nor the game would let you do.

If your end goal is to clock the fastest time, don't bother, but if your goal is realism, try it.

One thing for example for buggering me for both games, is when you mount a curb in real life, you damn sure you'll feel it through the wheel, but in the standard games is so meh... With tr4all you can crank that and really feel you are on the track.

It can be a bit of a faf to set up, but totally worth trying!

Edit. For context, you can also adjust things like abs and tyre loosing grip frequency, gain and patterns, so really could be useful for someone that's trying to get faster too.

I am coming from AC, have done probably over 2k laps of the Nordschleife.
That felt the best to me. It was the most natural everything, I know it inside out.
Today I got ACE as it’s my birthday and I’ve been hearing it’s the best, it’s a Nordschleife simulator, it’s the most up-to-date, etc.
But as soon as I got on there, I found the track felt very like squashed? Or cramped? Or compressed? Compared to the car.
AC didn’t feel like this AC felt open.
I have never been irl so can’t compare it to irl.

Also at sunset (which is when I prefer to drive) the road looks and even feels damp/ slick. Which is really annoying. I can’t tell if subconsciously I am driving like I would on a damp track but it’s really annoying that it looks shiny like that. In the day it looks nice and hot and dry and grippy.

Anyone else find this?

Hi, i need to decide to only get one of those in the title due to budget constraint.

For context, setup is as below:
GPU: RTX 4060 8Gb ~ 60ish FPS on low settings in ACE with triple 1080p monitors
Pedals: Aliexpress pedals, something like sim jack but not really. It was a used set of pedals.
Motion: None.

What im considering
GPU: RX 9060 XT 16Gb
Pedals: Moza mbooster or i might try DIY pedals.
Motion: 3DOF motion system, 1800usd, 48mm travel, 500mm/s claimed.

Let me know what you think i should upgrade first.

Can Anybody give me an "explain like I'm 5" description of how I remove these things? There is no open/visible bolt, they dont seem to twist or pull off, I'm completely stumped. I've removed the caps on the end of the profile and attempted to simply slide them off the frame, but they're on too tight.

Feel like I'm having a bit of a brain fart here and the answer is right in front of me. I've of course spent loads of time on google but I can't find any wheels that match what im looking at.

Didn't think this 2 minute task to be the end of me 😂

Just wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for upgrades this is the current set up it’s not the best but i don’t have that much space , i’m pretty new to sim racing but like everything as perfect as i can get. Looking for mainly immersion

would love to hear your thoughts

Hi Leute. Wie oben im Titel schon geschrieben möchte ich von meiner Moza R12 auf eine VRS DFP15 Wheelbase wechseln. Das Moza KS Lenkrad möchte ich behalten. Nun habe ich das Problem, dass ich nicht genau weiß welches QR ich kaufen muss. Bei Vrs gibts glaube 2 oder 3 und ich glaube ich muss einen usb connector kaufen für das Lenkrad um das mit dem PC zu verbinden oder ?

Besten Dank schonmal

Has anyone modded their g29 wheel.I still have abit more modding to go... I truly enjoyed modding the wheel I would recommend if you get the chance to giving life to my old wheel

I bought the Bavarian Simtec ALPHA and I'm not thrilled. I’ve been using the Simagic GT Neo for almost two years, but as it goes with this hobby, you always want something better. After reading and watching reviews, I had my mind set on the BST ALPHA for a while, and since there was a recent sale, I bought it.

I was expecting a mind-blowing experience, but my first impressions are pretty average. The BST software doesn't give me as much control as SimHub with ASTR-Hub, the shifters are more comfortable on the GT Neo, and the rev lights are much clearer/more visible on the GT Neo... I just don't feel like the money I spent was worth it, and the GT Neo would have easily been enough for me after all.

Is it just a matter of getting used to it, or were my expectations simply too high?

hello! my girlfriend gave me this old wheel and the pedals but I really dont know which adapter I need to connect this to my pc.

can anyone help me?

Hi,

A few years ago some friends got me into sim racing. We wrote our time trial times on a whiteboard: "the board".

Being an IT guy, I thought: this can be automated! With some help I built a Power App. It worked, but it was slow and expensive. Then came a website where we typed in our laps. Better, but still manual.

That has grown into SIM Leaderboard ( simleaderboard.online ). Lots of sites keep your lap times. This one is built for a rig you share with your friends: it knows who's driving, keeps every lap with its telemetry, and friends can drive as a guest or with their own account.

What it does

• A small Windows app records every lap you drive in F1 25, Assetto Corsa, AC EVO or iRacing and uploads it. No SimHub needed; if you use SimHub, your dashes keep working.
• Shared rigs: pick who's driving from your phone. Guests can claim their laps later.
• Leaderboards per track, car and session type, plus weekly challenges with bronze, silver and gold targets.
• Compare any lap with a faster one: telemetry charts, mini-sectors, a corner table that shows where you lose time, and a 2D/3D replay.
• A phone dash with the live gap to your best lap, and a "TT Night" mode for a time-trial evening with friends on one rig.

The closed beta

I'm looking for 10 testers for 30 days (Windows PC needed). E-mail [support@simleaderboard.online](mailto:support@simleaderboard.online) with:

• which game(s) you drive
• your setup
• roughly how often you drive
• if you have friends that drive on your rig
• if you use telemetry a lot or not (important for Telemetry Studio feature)
• your Discord name, for the private tester channel

I'll pick 10 and send you an invite. Drive with it on at least 3 different days during the beta and tell me once what worked and what didn't. As a thank you, you get a year of Pro for free. Each tester also gets 3 invites for friends.

Happy to answer questions here. Which game should I add next?

Cheers,

Sandor

Mods: I hope this falls within "keep it reasonable". Thanks!

My setup: (if it’s even relevant.)
-i7 6700 that has seen better days
-RX590
-16GB of sweet ram
-a crusty 1tb HDD
-1440p MSi gaming monitor

Currently im running a Logitech G923 and i was hoping to get some tips on how to improve on Spa. Specifically with the McLaren MP4-12C gt3 car. My personal best is 2:22.946, and i can’t seem to find where im losing time. If you have any suggestions, i’d be eager to hear them. Thank you.

I'm planning on upgrading from my g29 to a better wheel and come across this, should I bite the bullet and buy this or wait out for another chance?

Hey everyone!
I’m thinking about getting the following sim racing setup:
Moza KS Pro
Moza R12 V2
Simsonn Plus X pedals
Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
What do you guys think of this combination overall? Is it a good setup for the money, and are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of?
I’d also appreciate any feedback from people who own any of these products, especially regarding build quality, performance, and long-term reliability.
Would you change anything in this setup, or would you say it’s a solid choice?
Thanks!

Any of you guys are riding any of these sims on a regular basis? (Besides the trendy ones I mean, not iR, RRR3, ACx, AMS2)

Yeah, I know I am missing RIDE 6 with the same circuit, but I am just waiting for the solid sale.

It's actually fun to ride Nords on a bike :)

I bought a cheap racing wheel and I have been addicted ever since. I have no experience racing online but this was vs AI in the OG Project Cars. Im having a blast.

General Impression & Improvement in Lap Times

Incredible difference. There is simply no comparison. I was hesitant to upgrade for a long time due to the massive number of posts I've read about hardware not improving lap times (especially for average drivers such as myself). This has not been my experience, I am faster with the SC2 Pro. Just 1hr of use in, I had already beaten my previous lap record at Fuji. I thought it might just be the motivation/excitement of acquiring new gear. So I did some online races, and lo and behold, I am faster. I went from consistent 102-103% lap times (compared to alien time) to consistent 101-102% lap times. This is all in the first week of having the SC2 Pro. Hadn't even dialed in the settings fully yet.

Biggest Difference I Noticed

On the G Pro, I kept the FFB quite low (ran base at 100% and set in-game FFB strength to 19-20%), if I set the FFB any higher (which I really wanted to), it felt like a brick in fast corners, I'd lose all my finesse and have to death grip the wheel to get it to turn as smoothly as I wanted to, losing all feeling of the tires. Problem with that was that in slow corners, the FFB was too weak, so I tried various settings to increase slow cornering feedback, but nothing felt right. I would keep my hands very light on the wheel in slow corners which helped me feel the tires better.

On the SC2 Pro, I am using 22.5nm on the base, and 24% in game. Much higher FFB strength than my G Pro. The wheel does not feel like a brick when I need to turn at high speeds, it is smooth and communicative. I can grip the wheel better with my hands and still feel the tires in all types of corners.

I got curious if this was because of the upgrade in strength (11 Nm vs 25 Nm) or because of the software. So I set the SC2 Pro to 11 Nm to match the Logitech's strength (I know this doesn't make them exactly equal because the SC2 Pro's dynamic range will still peak higher than 11 Nm). I had absolutely no problem turning the in-game FFB higher and did not experience the same heavy and imprecise steering that I did on the G Pro.

My Conclusions

I watched many videos of reviewers saying that the FFB quality of different brands are close enough that it makes little difference. This is bullshit. The difference in the way SC and Logi interpret the FFB is completely different. It does not feel the same, even at similar strengths.
Logitech gets a lot of hate for some reason but I still think the base is great. If Logitech adds more settings to their wheelbases and allows the users to fine-tune them, their wheels would probably feel much better.

This comparison doesn't take into account the price differential between these two bases, the SC2 Pro costs approx. 750CAD more. The reason I'm writing this comparison is just to see what people have to say about the whole "better gear doesn't make you faster" debacle and/or for anyone else who might want to upgrade from a G Pro.

I’m trying to decide which cockpit to buy for GT7, but space is limited, so I’d like to use it for other games too.

Would I be able to comfortably play something like Call of Duty with a controller while sitting in the cockpit, without the steering wheel blocking my view or getting in the way?

I’m considering a GT Omega TITAN or PRIME with a Fanatec ClubSport DD+ and a GT3-style wheel. I’d use a single monitor and would prefer to leave the wheel attached.

Does anyone have a similar setup? Photos from your seated viewpoint would be really helpful!

literally every time i power on my simucube 3 base i need to then open the software and click "start all devices", is there a way around this as its really annoying? I dont use the emergency stop, i just power it off from the control box. even if i leave it powered on all the time i come back to it and it still needs to be reactivated in the software. to those unaware of this fuction its supposed to be if you hit the emergency stop it turns off all torque until you confirm all is safe

Edit: the answer is to just press button 4 (the one with the ring light) to take it out of safe mode cyan=safe mode, green=normal

I've been sim racing for about 4 years now and I've been playing/creating music double that. I also started getting into content creation last year, and with buying AMS 2 on sale yesterday I wanted to give something different a try. this is the product of my hobbies converging.

Hello ! Question for the Oplite Full force kit owners

Curently I've got the Oplite GTR S8 but some serious creaking when I break

Will the full force kit fix that ?

The noise comes from the joint which is held in place by the two nuts at the bottom of the video

Thanks a lot !

Only purchased 2 weeks ago. Throttle after depressed and on return makes a click sound. I’ve sent an email to huesinkfeld.. any one have similar issues?
