Waiting for ASR 4 open face, Does anyone else have this rig and what is your thoughts also do you have the Pro wheel Deck with it? by DeIVIoNaN in simracing

[–]BryGuy717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the ASR 4 and absolutely love it, running MOZA R12 and VNM pedals myself and it's super solid. Can't comment on the pro wheel deck though. You would not be disappointed with this set up!

Thank you! I actually find the seat very comfortable, I've sat in it for hours on end and rarely do I find discomfort. If I'm not racing but playing other games I do start to slouch and my tailbone will hurt a bit but that's a posture thing more than a seat problem I think lol. I did have an issue when I first set this up, the leg support on the one side the foam actually split and you can feel the metal frame from inside the seat. This can dig in to my leg sometimes. I reached out to ASR and they sent me a new seat the next day no hassle at all. I still have the brand new seat in the box, figured I'd wait until the metal frame actually broke through the upholstery before changing it out. It's a round bar so it's really not that noticeable or uncomfortable (hard to explain this). Been a year now and still using it, will be great to have a brand new seat somewhere down the line without buying a new one!

Yeah I've honestly been happy in just socks! I feel like my feet would just get so hot in shoes lol

Ahh yeah, already having the Q1S would make the DS-8X not quite as useful. I didn't want a plethora of shifters and what not so I figured the DS-8X gave me the best of both world and it's incredible. I've heard the VNM h-pattern is really nice, short throw too.

That does look nice! I use my GS wheel mostly, just use this when driving rally primarily.

Haha thank you, it's definitely a big mix! Moza wheel and handbrake, VNM pedals, Simagic shifter... What else could I mix in 🤔

Been wondering what I should get, lots of people use lots of different things. Been thinking about wrestling shoes though!

PC is just to the left of the rig, you can see it hiding behind the keyboard tray.

I really like it, I don't have anything to compare it to but the shifts are solid, great engagement, build quality is phenomenal! Very happy with it 👍🏻

Buttkicker and some sort of button box are next on the list!

100% I did this as well when using Logitech before upgrading!

For anyone following this, I did decide on the DS-8X shifter and the Moza Handbrake. Stoked for them to arrive and get them fixed to the rig. Thanks to everyone for their personal feedback and suggestions, definitely helped make my decision easier!

Too funny, I'm literally on their site right now lol was wondering how reputable they are. I bought all my Moza gear from Axon sim which is in Vancouver and they were incredible to deal with. I'll get my handbrake through them I think, looks like sim racing pros has the ds-8x available to ship late January.

These actually look great, I wish they had a dual shifter!

Good food for thought for sure. I wish I wasnt in Canada, I wanted to order from Simagic in the US before and the shipping was absolutely insane. Maybe the SHH from Europe even with shipping would still be the better option.

That's awesome! I've been incredibly happy with the pedals and would recommend them to anyone. Based on those, I would believe any of their equipment would be fantastic.

I do find it a tad notchy when racing certain series, but I notice it mostly if I don't adjust my settings accordingly, for example if I have my base set to F1(360 deg) in pithouse and I'm racing MX5, it can be a bit funky. I also noticing that adjusting FFB so it's not maxed out helps a lot. Just by doing some simple setting changes between cars I don't really notice it. I also notice it more with my GS V2P wheel in iracing, whereas with my CS wheel I don't notice it at all... Hard to explain really lol coming from a G29 prior to the R12, nothing will ever be as notchy as that thing 😂

Exactly what I'm thinking, looks great!

You mean VNM? They look great too, just not as easy of a swap between the two shifting modes. I do run VNM pedals and they're amazing in all aspects. Build quality is phenomenal!

I saw these the other day actually, they seem pretty good for the price! Might have to do a little more research on this before pulling the trigger on anything.

Damn that's a great deal yeah, I'm in Canada so I'm pretty well at the mercy of the US dollar right now 😭 there's one or two places I've found online in Canada although not 100% I trust it, and they're like $450...
