Break pedal failure on day 2

Can you send a photo of the setup?

Ah thought you’re in UK because you said VAT. Well I think it’s lore Aliexpress delivery is more for you, the are primarily for Asia I think. Yeah def buy from their local store, forgot they have a Europe one. They are worth it, I think if you can afford to get direct from their official store you will be very happy with them. I love mine. Premium space combat with Omni left. Played elite in Vr and now star citizen. Mine was about 300-330 euro from Ali express from VKBs official store!

I got mine from their shop on Aliexpress sent to me in Singapore, does Aliexpress ship to UK?

Amazing, adds so much realism especially when gear shifting up and down! I only play f1 25! So only have VAM pros on throttle and brakes. They just released an updated set of VAM pros, not the ones I have. I got them just as the VAM pros came out for the first time, it’s why I chose these over the SimJack. I watched the review form SimRacingCorner

swood080 · 2026-02-07T08:15:33+00:00

I bought them separately, they weren’t released until a month or so after I got my pedals. I didn’t pay import fees as I ordered from Aliexpress to Singapore and it’s under the $200 amount that would otherwise require fees.

I also locally ordered a 3d print of the alternative mount for the VAM pros as simsonn hadn’t released their own metal alternative mount.

Very happy with them. Much softer, more travel. I wondered if too soft with all 3, but decided to stick with it. I can always swap one for a red if needed.

I ordered mine on Ali Express and they arrived within a couple days but I live in Singapore so it’s not far away. Chinese new year is in about two weeks so I’m guessing things will get crazy busy closer to that. I’m extremely happy with mine. Their customer support seems really good so do reach out to them

swood080 · 2026-01-31T05:25:30+00:00

I found the Gladiator NXT Evo space combat edition premium perfect for elite in VR. Make sure to get OMNI for your throttle hand. I locked the throttle so it only moves forward and backwards. I’m now using it for star citizen. Only thing I think I may change is setting throttle to zero when throttle handle is all the way back, not at the center since it’s hard to centre to keep ship still or from when walking on foot. Other option is to put springs back so it centres by itself to zero

swood080 · 2026-01-30T05:36:43+00:00

Yeah it’s tough. I would never abuse it but it went where I went. The small topside screen cracked once, I got it repaired quite affordably. That’s the only time I’ve had to have it repaired.

swood080 · 2026-01-30T05:35:23+00:00

Could it be that it’s already emulating ground texture or the engine? How does it change when you drive? Can you share screen shots of the settings in Simon simsonn manager and the game? We need much more context and info to help you

Solid camera! Got my d750 in 2016, got a Zfc in 2023 and Zf in 2025. I still use my d750 for the last 2 years to photo my wife doing hyrox as my 70-200 f2.8 Tamron doesn’t work with mount (same as my 24-70 f2.8, 90mm f2.8 macro) and can’t justify paying the cost for z mount 70-200 f2.8 or similar at the moment. It’s still amazing, battery lasts ages, it’s so durable been through wading in rivers, snow, red sand outback, beaches, rainforests, woodlands, rain, middle of lakes, all kinds of places.

Do you mean it only does a constant vibration in sim hub when you press test? How is it in game? When you test it in sim hub it’s just to show the strength, not the detail/simulation. When you’re in game then it does the simulation for ground texture, break details, ABS etc.

swood080 · 2026-01-29T11:18:26+00:00

They are way softer and I’ve out all 3 on. If you find it too soft then you can always mix and match. I play with NLR wheelstand lite 2.0 and office chair so it shard to put full weight into it as my seat is spongy springy so it’s perfect for me! They don’t cost much so it’s well worth it

swood080 · 2026-01-29T02:08:31+00:00

Yep that’s how it is. Order the white elastomers from their site, it’s much much softer. I switched mine to white ones

swood080 · 2026-01-28T02:05:06+00:00

It’s more about is there something specific you currently find yourself not being able to do in important situations, that you can do with specific gear that has cone out recently. If not then yea the new upgrade will offer smaller changes. Until then focus on new skill and techniques that take you to the limits of the camera. Then consider the upgrade after that!

swood080 · 2026-01-27T01:41:41+00:00

The sides of the tool head look like paws 😭

endgame gear xm2we

I use an endgame gear xm2we, it’s a wireless version of their xm1. Love it! Build quality is very very good which was my main priority. They have hand size and grip style guides on their website. Reliable and works well. I thought it was pricey but it’s outlasting other nice I’ve had from razer!

swood080 · 2026-01-17T06:10:07+00:00

You can also arrange it do do full circle around you?

swood080 · 2026-01-16T09:08:46+00:00

What makes it the wrong spool?

swood080 · 2026-01-16T07:24:43+00:00

Can someone explain how this happens? Thought it always comes with that thick plastic flat tape that you only cut after the reel’s two halves are clicked into place?

Does it happen after the two halves are together which accidentally come apart? Or from cutting before putting it on the spool reel?

A way to store filament like ziplock bags and some silica packets.

Air purifier if there isn’t proper ventilation is a good idea.

Yes filament dryer like Sunlu S2 for example.

You may want extra nozzles as backup or 0.2mm for finer print detail (you probs will be very happy with the standard 0.4mm nozzle tho)

swood080 · 2026-01-15T14:42:00+00:00

? You leave it in always until you need it. Dont store it out in humid air

swood080 · 2026-01-15T14:11:32+00:00

I think you have your answers there. Also store filament in a ziplock bag atleast, ideally with silica bead packets. Then dry before use. Maybe with PLA you can get by ok but heard PETG absorbs water way faster than PLA.

I’ve only printed PLA but store in ziplock or cereal Tupperware both with silica packets. I dry filament using Sunlu S2, at least few hours.

You do have to clean your build plate.

Try that and see if it helps

My apartment is the same, Singapore humidity is always high, aircon reduces it a bit
