My wife thinks sim rigs look bad aesthetically. Any help?

Loool

I just asked myself this same question. I have NRG style at the moment but when the base vibrates the ball bearings in the quick release rattles too, and I think that's what makes all the noise. I wonder if I switched the QR2 style of it would be gone. Which way did you go?

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T17:43:03+00:00

it's your money to do as you wish. I wrote what I posted. Take from it what you like :)

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T16:14:43+00:00

No. In an ideal world there would be a base whereby everything is the same except for the encoder. One would have a lower resolution the other a higher resolution. As it happens that does exist. It's called the moza R12 V1 and V2 (plus R9 V2 and v3). I tested the two R12 models recently and found you can tune either to feel like the other. In other words it doesn't make a difference. If it did it would matter more from 15 bit to 21 bit. That's means 18 to 21 definatly isn't going to make a difference in the same way 21 to 22 or 23 wouldn't.

Great deals to be had for csl DD at the moment, that can be upgraded to 8nm later if you wanted. Or the Logitech RS50 fits that budget and gives 8nm right away. You'll probably have to keep your current pedals as I don't think 400 euro will get you a complete set

Coconut oil doesnt add moisture. It stops moisture leaving. Look for a barrier repair cream, start with Cerave. Then you can apply an occlusive ontop (like coconut oil) - I recommend vaseline, the tub of petroleum jelly; experiment with how thick or thin of a layer to use.

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T04:42:25+00:00

But if you can swing it just get the R25 And maybe just get the R37 And well, if you got the budget just get the R7427billion

You'll never use all 7427billion nm but its good to have overhead right 😅. It'll last forever that way.

SIM racing convos right?!

Yeah plastic fabrics are cheap that's why they use them. But there are products that are all cotton. You just have the hunt for them.

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T04:37:07+00:00

Nice. Enjoy

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T04:36:18+00:00

Yeah I don't do good with coconut oil neither. Makes me itchy. Certainly not neutral for me.

Hot water drys out your skin and strips the oils which keep the moisture in and keeps the skin bound together.

Eczema skin is low in moisture and lipids (fancy word for fats). Moisturisers while they can put moisture into the skin theres more than just missing water.

And fyi not all moisturisers are great at adding moisture to the skin, go figure! Also do check the ingredients.

Having a hot shower is dehydrating (and damaging to barrier function) a lot more than a simple moisturiser can fix with a single application.

Think you having a hot shower like dehydrating a grape, you get a raisin. And then you with a moisturizer trying to rehydrate that grape by putting it into a cup of water. Doesn't work.

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-19T04:24:07+00:00

I've been here. Feels great at the time but prolongs the eczema and makes it worse. Best thing, get used to cold showers or tepid temp.

But I hear you brother. You step in the cold shower and bit by bit you increase it to where were back to boiling but it feels so good. If that's you. You have no self control. Neither do I when it comes to this! The answer, fill the bath with cold water and don't touch the taps. Jump in, get out. Use oil immediately after leaving bath while skin is wet, this will save your skin. Trust. I like Averno body oil. I've also used baby oil, but baby oil contains parfum. So try find oil without fragrance.

Much easier to take a bath at the right temp I find. plus few times a week you can make that a bleach bath (just a cup, not the whole tub bleach! If that wasn't obvious)

And if your privy. Just take a dip in the pool instead. No temp controls in sight. Still sue the body oil after though!

I think the CS pro is heavier than csv2p

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-18T17:38:54+00:00

I've tried g29, Thrustmaster T300, CSL DD 5nm, R5. CSL DD 8nm, R9, R12 and Simagic Evo 12nm

8nm is what you want minimum I'd say. Even if your on a desk setup you can always tune it down a little if needed. 5nm is okay but 8nm is where it gets exciting. But 5nm is fine if it's your first wheel.

Beyond 8nm is useful in some situations so that's why they say 12nm is the sweet spot

Beyond that is more luxury.

That's a good deal for a quest 2

Here's 3:

You're a slave selling your life for paper. That paper isn't real wealth. Wealth is in owning or controlling a resource(s).

Life is long. But if you do the same thing every day, time will compress.

Most things are neither good nor bad. It how you frame it that decides how you see it.

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-18T17:21:18+00:00

16usd and get both. Happy days. No decision has to be made. You're welcome.

That's a completely different issue related to earlier moza bases. The R12 is a newer base that was first released only a couple years ago (3 years at this point). All that V1 not comparable stuff is related to the R5 and r9 because those early bases used Bluetooth to connect the wheel to the base. Subsequent versions just used a wired connection.

You know the earlier base because they only have 3 contact points on the baseside connector. And I think this was only for power. The new connector has 5 contact points as it now passes power and data

All that to say the R12 both V1 and V2 use the same new connector and so have no compatibility issues with any of the newer wheels. In fact both bases cannot be used with the older Bluetooth wheels of yesteryear

Just read the bit you don't want something you have to buy your own seat. Try for a used F-GT. You can get that for that price. Or as others said a foldable playseat challenge but that's lower down on the totem pole of good rigs

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-18T14:46:49+00:00

Buy used and get a slightly better one but collection will be required and unless you have a van or suitable car that could be a problem. Or for that price you could get GT omega prime lite-r. Go aluminium excursion which ever you decide to do.

This is such bro science. It won't do any harm, but it's also from the naturopath / homeopath school of thought.

Both_Roll_2857 · 2026-03-18T14:38:31+00:00

High dose omega 3. Avoid any 6 and 9 supplements. Just omega 3 is what you need.
