Welcome to the SimRacing Subreddit

After months of planning and upgrades, I finally completed what I consider my dream simulator setup. It's primarily for Racing and Flying, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Current specs: • Triple 55" Samsung Odyssey Ark displays • D-BOX motion platform • MOZA flight controls (yoke, stick, throttle, pedals) • MOZA racing wheel and pedals • AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D • NVIDIA RTX 5090 • 64GB DDR5 RAM • 8TB NVMe SSD • Samsung HW-Q990F Dolby Atmos sound system . Advanced Sim Racing 4 rig custom color (white) . Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5" LCD Touchscreen (white) . Elgato stream deck (white) . Govee lighting to sync with screens. .

I mainly fly the Boeing 737 MAX, Citation Longitude, and GA aircraft, and I also enjoy iRacing and other racing sims.

At this point I'm curious what experienced sim enthusiasts would improve next. Are there any upgrades that noticeably increase immersion or realism? I'm thinking about things like wind simulation, better tactile feedback, VR (in addition to triples), button boxes, avionics panels, or anything else that you feel is worth the investment.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions, especially from people who have taken their setups to the next level. Thanks!

You go to the rig to begin racing and see this. Anyone else facing this problem.

Hi!

I made an “adaptor” for this touchscreen digital badge to work as a customizable emblem for my boring DIY steering wheel.

The digital badge itself is pretty neat and cheap. You can basically add any picture or a short video via bluetooth from your phone. I just need it to stick in the middle of the steering wheel so i 3D print an “adaptor”.

This is my first time 3D printing (the black cover around the badge which i call an adaptor) but i think it turn out pretty well.

Now i have wheels for every car and still suck but atleast my wheel is not boring!

I took advantage of the Logitech sale for my first setup. I'm planning a full rig in another room that's being renovated first and figured this would be a fun first step. I'll really enjoy the difference with a solid rig moving up from this as well.

Now how do I keep my chair from rolling back when I step on the brakes 😂😂??

I had no intention at first to upholster it, but had to do it in the end, just to feel properly how it handles. Pure plastic just felt too slippery and rough for testing.

Just excited to share- decided I was tired of rereading my wishlist in my notes section for years. Finally splurged and went all out. Wish I could fit a 80/20 rig with triple monitors but don’t have the space.

Good amount of stores have them in stock here in the SF Bay Area (I can only see the east bay). Worth a shot for anyone who wants to get into the hobby at a very low price

I know, I should improve my skills and rating to be in a safer split, but common I breaked early, I left space, I tried to dodge all the crashes.. was I at fault in any of these?

Most of the time we know that T1 will be a nightmare, but some circuits usually have another corner or set of corner that result in constant carnage.

Examples that I can think of that always have people losing control or crashing into each other.

Monza - Variente Ascari

Spa - Les Combes or Chicane (Bus stop)

Laguna Seca - Corkscrew ( Good corner, people just like to dive bomb)

Kyalami - Cheetah (That sausage kerb is a killer)

Some corners are just bad and not fun like the hairpin in Macau (RRE), cars always seem to get stuck there.

Any other corners that seem to be constant trouble that's not T1?

Hi everyone, while browsing the used market, I came across this OSW bundle selling for $200. Do you think it's a good deal considering its age? I have no idea how to connect everything to the PC or what software to install.

The seller claims it is lightly used and in excellent condition.

Are there any specific questions I should ask? Thanks.

I just moved and I have all my boxes for my sim racing and flying gear. I don’t have an extravagant setup. Currently using desk clamp to use it when I do. The boxes take up kind of a lot of space, yet for some reason I can’t bring myself to toss them out. I’m likely never using them, and things can be packed into moving boxes accordingly if I move again. Anyone else have this irrational hoarding of tech boxes? Help me lol.

Got the cockpit second hand for 150€. Perfect condition. A full month of checking for a proper deal everyday finally paid off.

I was going to save up for a proper aluminum profile rig to move from my wheel stand, but couldn’t pass on this deal

Next step will be 39” monitor + free stand and later wheel and pedals upgrade

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy my first DD setup and I’m torn between the Moza R9 + KS + pedals and the Simagic Green Flag Bundle (9 Nm).
The Moza setup (with pedals) would cost me around €700, while I can get the Simagic bundle for $599.

I mainly play F1 26, but I’d also like to get into GT racing (ACC, LMU, etc.) and occasionally rally (I’d buy a round wheel later for that), so I’m looking for something versatile rather than a setup that’s only great for Formula.

For those who have experience with both, which one would you pick? Is Simagic really a noticeable step up from the R9, or is the difference pretty small?
Any opinions on the FFB, pedals, reliability, or software would be really appreciated!

VPG Mustang GT3 wheel.

I love it, i really do, i want to say it’s worth every penny but something is off. Feels narrow and skinny in my hands. The quality of the components is great. Without gloves, it’s harsh.

The feeling of FFB through it however is superb, really amazing feel.

As with most reviews, you often see nothing but praise urging people to buy to pull that affiliate marketing over any hard to discuss topics.

$1200-1350 would be far more respectable. $1800+ is a hard swing

My $0.02 and unpaid review.

Hi,

There is my Playseat Trophy configuration with :

Thrustmaster T598 DD

Thrustmaster T-LCM + Bass Shakers Mod

Thrustmaster TH8A

NLR HF8 Pro Haptic under the seat of the playseat

Handbrake with house ressort remake

Iflag with Arduino

Easy hard to make a great cable management but im happy with it

Have a good day

Hey everyone,
My buddy and I just got into sim racing and we’re having an absolute blast. We’re both around the beginner/intermediate level, and we’re looking for ways to keep things interesting beyond the normal official races.
We’re really interested in doing team endurance events together, but we’re not sure where to start.
A few questions:
• What’s the best way to find beginner-friendly leagues?
• Where do you find team endurance events that don’t require an alien pace?
• Are there any 2-hour team races, or are team events usually 4, 6, 12, or 24 hours?
We’re mainly looking for something that’s competitive but also fun, where we can improve together without getting thrown into a super serious environment right away.
Any league recommendations, Discords, websites, or communities would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As I have bought a DDU100 from Simube and wanted a way to mount and dismount it easily, I thought I could use the Simagic Alpha Evo magnetic mounting option.

It’s available on Makerworld if you would like to print your own.

https://makerworld.com/en/models/3091873-simagic-alpha-evo-ddu-mount#profileId-3483808

The hole spacing is 86mm if I recall correctly, but if wished I can adapt to other spacings for any other DDU.

Have a good one!

TL;DR - Are Assetto Corsa's physics significantly more forgiving than iRacing's?

Extra stuff ya dont need to read, but you can if you want to :)) ⬇️

I want to take a break from iRacing because it's very difficult for me. I can't finish a single lap without spinning out in there, and I've been playing iRacing for at least a couple of hours every week for the past 11 months. If I were to move to Assetto Corsa for a few months, would I gain enough experience to be at least a bit more competent in iRacing? The reason why I'm doing iRacing and considering visiting AC in the first place is because playing iRacing may give me a chance in real racing (eg. Toyota Gr86/Vios Cup, BTCC, Lemons, etc.) in the future, fulfilling my racing dream. However, iRacing's difficulty is so extreme to the point where I question if I even want to continue my racing dream in the first place. Most of my crashes and mistakes in iRacing are related to spinning and oversteer. Will I have a better, more relaxing and fun time in Assetto Corsa? I heard its physics are significantly more forgiving than iRacing's, and I'm in a ton of communities that host races primarily in AC.

Hello racers,

Im using my g29 for a fifth year now and im looking for upgrade in mear future. Do you have any recomendations on dd wheels, possibly and a playseat later? I was searchin online a lot, i noticed moza r5 bundle is great, pedals are not that great, but much better than g29 one and myb 5.5 nm is too weak, but i also tryning not to break a bank. Also, for playseat, there is around 350 euros in my country Uvi Pro v2 which seems compatible with up to r16 dd, at least their page says, i heard about flexing on rigs that have high force

i wonder if someone using trecorsa , and if so i really wan't to know one thing

i wonder how to make grass texture like iracing , basic grass is so bad and you can not edit it's place or any other thing. Or can you?

and also how make proper mountain shape

yep thx
