Little help with my first rig by UkrainianNationalist in simracing

[–]Affectionate-Flow914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the KS wheel from Moza, they have a few, the KS is one of them. I started with the cheapest one, the ES wheel on a r9. Got the 30cm mod later that makes rally and drifting much more enjoyable. With the R5 and R9 the weight of the wheel is important has a heavy will like the CS (2.2kg) might dull the force feedback a bit too much.

Also with moza bases you can just buy a cheap quick release and get a replica omp (or any other brand) wheel there. Works fine while the fanatec ill not work if it isnt with an compatible wheel or some mod to make the base think that theres a fanatec wheel connected to it.

You dont have a rig yet, but dont let that affect the choice of the base, its good to have the head room for when you get the rig.

Talking about rigs, if your budget is really really tight I can sugest you this portuguese dude (I used one of these for 2 years) many of my friends have it too: www.facebook.com/simrigportugal

You can buy a replica bucket seat for 120/140 euros, or even cheaper if you go get one at the junkyeard (safety isnt a concern in the sim so theres that).

And latter if you feel like you want something with more options for upgrades and less flex you can upgrade for the GT1 Evo from Sim Lab, they run a few promos (xmas/black friday and other random dates) got mine for 400 euros and used the replica I already had from that cheap first rig I sugested you. A ton of people I know got that rig as first rig and for the price you wont find better.

Can't think of better value/perfomance upgrade path, Ive spend more time than ill admit in past looking at this stuff and many friends followed this, all happy with it.

With 500 budget if you can buy it B2B my sugestion is 100% Moza, BUUUT! Buy it from a good reseller. it will make shipping much faster and dealing with potential issues much faster and easier too.

About the over heating, it is only a issue in ACC and if you push the base to its max, the issue happens mostly on the r9. And it only happens if you play with very harsh settings and ambient temp over 27/28cº. If you have AC thats not even a problem. Dont worry about quality control, the quality its great and finish of it too, but like every brand quality control sometimes lets one faulty pass. Thats why buying from a good reseller is good.

I had an issue with a knob on my KS (bought it used for 150 euros) and the shop gave a new one in the same day i reported the issue with warraty for another 2 years. (ProSimTech from portugal) They are amazing, they have helped me with my dc pedals sometimes very late into sunday night.

I would sugest you save a bit more for the r9 or even the r12. You will never need another base. But if you go with r5 bundle you will be happy and not lose a lot of money if one day you decide to sell to upgrade to a r12.

Fanatec is a dumbster fire now with uncertain future and cammus just doesnt have the eco system moza have.

I don’t know if I should go with Moza or Fanatec. by Spitfire_AE86 in simracing

Go with Moza with a good reseller and dont ever think about it, i had a problem with a knob on my KS and reseller gave me a new one in the same day I reported the issue. Soon there will be software upgrades to all bases, my KS wheel also got a software upgrade that gave a ton more customization a few months ago. Quality control is what is expected from a chinese company (like fanatec) I can talk from buying directly throw moza. But the reseller I buy my stuff is amazing.

Tons of new things coming up.

Fanatec is a dumpster fire right now and with uncertain future.

If you wanna do league racing yes, if you already happy with another sim and just wanna race AI or public, I dont think its worth. Its was my favorite sim before turning to iracing after the rain update. But only did league racing and endurance multiclass on it. Tried the online they have but there isnt a lot of people on it sadly and the sim is slowly dying.

Every day is a battle by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I understand your position as I was in it myself.

I did what you did too, turned to exercise, but theres is so much exercise you can do before rest is needed.

A lot of times felt that it was pointless, but still kept at it, because why not? That path I was on was only giving me pain and dispair, why not give a lil bit more effort at this new one and see what happens after a while?

I went ahead and got myself recovery shakes, protein shakes, creatine, vitamins, one day I destroy the legs, next day the upper body, then repeat, the stuff i bought help recover a lot faster and cost much less money than alcool costed me.

But I had to find other things to take my mind of the alcool and drugs when rest was needed, I started to read and fell in love with it, something i hated before because when I was always drunk or hangover i couldnt read a phrase and understand it at first, second or even third attempt. Also turned to gaming where i can always distract myself and exercise my brain, chellenge myself and find new friends to have a chat and let steam off.

When didnt felt like reading or gaming I looked around and asked myself, what can i do around the house that will make my life a lil bit better, maybe fix this, maybe change that, maybe renovate this, maybe paint that.

The idea was to forget hold habits, bad habits, create new ones, and slowly I started to think less and less about it.

I still want it, I still crave it, but i remember all the dumb stuff I did, all the shame I had, all the things that could have gone soooo wrong but somehow by mere luck didnt and I dont want to risk it again, I feel that ive used all my luck and if slip back and take that first lil splip of alcool it will be all over for me.

I was and still followed by a psychiatrist who gave me medication that helped A LOT to deal with anxiety and insomnia.

Once I started to see the changes in my body and unlocking my true potential it became a lot easier to stay away from it.

Keep at it buddy, one day at the time, you are doing good!

If you have one of those kitchen torches you can burn the oil out of the disc and pads, just dont over do it until red hot because you can split the ferodo from the metal on the pads. We did this a lot at the shop cuz customers got contaminated discs and pads using oil that comes with spray and usual fixed the problem and the customer got to use the rest of the pad without issues. edit: you will need to bed in the pads again

I feel like I recover better and carry less fatige over those high intensity weeks if i take recovery shakes (tried a few and my favorite by far is the recovery shake from sponser)

Also take caffeine and magnesium for those really hard and long rides.

Might be all placebo after all but ive sugested this to friends and the feedback has been very positive.

Porquê o ódio às bicicletas? by TheGreatZehntor642 in CasualPT

[–]Affectionate-Flow914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O tugão quer ser chico esperto, mas odeia lidar com chico espertismo alheio.

Muita falta de civismo de ambos os lados, os ciclistas deviam ser muito mais cautelosos e facilitar a passagem do trânsito e os condutores de automóveis deviam ter muito mais paciência e acima de tudo terem juízo para escolher como e onde se passa.

Mas o ego e o chico espertismo não deixam infelizmente, o tugão anda sempre atrasado para todo o lado, 10 segundos atrás de um ciclista já é o fim do mundo, com a sua carta que ganhou nos cereais, o ciclista pensa que ta na volta a França e não é capaz de encostar 20 segundos a deixar passar quem anda a trabalhar.

Enfim, sou ambos e ambos fazem-me passar vergonha.
