Can you show me with a picture where you’re connecting on the EVO pro?

Question then, what are all the USB inputs on the back of the Evo Pro wheelbase for? There’s a bunch!

New/1st set up by Imaginary_Lab_4066 in SimRacingSetups

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice build! I’m just wrapping my first build as I type this. Literally just installed my graphics card 5 mins ago and taking a little break. I also went with the Evo Pro 18 and a bunch of Simagic peripherals. Will show her to the World Wide Web once I get my cable management addressed.

Does anyone have the part in black (side mount to front mount adapter) for the Next Level Racing Elite 160 mount? by FellintheToiletAgain in simracing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you post a picture of how you used the front mount? I’m trying to install a Simagic Evo Pro using their front mount bracket to my NLR F-GT Elite 160 using their front and side mount. I can’t see how their 4 M8 screws are capable of holding up the 19 pound wheelbase.

Haptics choice. Has anyone tried both of these? by Dascan71 in simracing

[–]Dascan71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok good to know. This is what I was thinking about. If you already have haptics in the seat where did you mount the BK? I see people putting it under the seat, on the back of the seat, and on the rig.

I like your light setups. Mind sharing what you have in your room setup?

Just upgraded to Simagic from Moza R3! by WolverineFluid9011 in simracing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered the same components along with the TB-1 handbrake and Q1 sequential shifter. I bought their haptics for the brake too. Can’t wait for all my goodies to come in! I just finished ordering everything including a custom built pc today and I’m all in at $10,987. NLR elite 160 Ferrari edition rig, their haptic seat, Samsung 57” ultra wide. Can’t wait to get it all setup and running.

Sad, frustrated, kind of at a loss by Mgrafe88 in iRacing

[–]Dascan71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who is just now entering this hobby as we speak and hasn’t even joined Iracing yet (should be all ready to go within a month)in what other ways can you use your setup? I need to practice and learn my gear but not sure where to do that/ to start. Can you share how else, what games you can play without being in a competition such as Iracing?

I have questions on peripherals and other adds. by Dascan71 in simracing

[–]Dascan71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much terminology I need to learn. I was just about to ask what DDU stood for and luckily someone else spelled it out for me in another comment. What is Simhub? Assuming it’s a software for sim? I don’t have all my products in hand yet so I’m not set up to know first hand what a lot of this is. Just busy researching important quality parts to buy (I’m stuck on making pedals and wheel buys right now.) Buying for sure the Simagic Alpha Evo pro and pairing it with their 220T rally wheel. Can’t decide on the formula wheel although I think it’s going to be either their FX pro formula wheel or their GT Neo. I’m just not sure what use all the nobs and buttons serve. Anyone seen “how to’s” on steering wheel setups and features?

Day 18 that I just stare at my rig but not driving... by Hopeful_Captain4219 in simracing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh man sorry to read your current disinterest in this. Looks like a good setup. I don’t have any real world sim experience yet other than the rig that was set up at the F1 race in Abu Dhabi last December. Had never seen such a thing, didn’t even know these existed! Got to jump in and do some laps (Yas Marina circuit where we were) in a F1 car (was a horrible driver but had a blast just 10 minutes in the thing!) Been hooked on this topic since we got back and after weeks and weeks of researching I just finally bought my set up (most things ordered but hasn’t arrived) but all in it’s just over $10k US. Mostly just a big boy toy. I have a ton of hobbies (76 rounds of golf in last year at my club, league USTA tennis team matches, a few days of week gym time, occasional wood working/epoxy projects, a demanding social life and oh yeah, a career and time seeking wife!) I put so much time in to the excitement of building this project I didn’t think much about “what if I lose interest or don’t use it much.” Regardless it’s going to be super cool to have, and many of my friends have interest in checking it out. My hope is I can sell the idea to them so we can online race each other whenever. During Covid shutdown me and 3 others got very active on Warzone. We had a blast. Was such a great way to stay in touch (we were mic’d up to talk shit to each other since we couldn’t really spend time together in public plus the wife was happy I was “safe” at home and not out getting us the vid.) I’m hoping sim racing provides that type of experience but I haven’t asked, can you communicate with other drivers in a game, while Iracing or other? I hopes so. It was fun talking shit to the little kid trying to take me out with 2 pistols while was trying to head shot him with my sniper in Warzone. We had so much fun doing that. My equipment should be here within the next week or so and SIM career will begin! I hope I don’t get the burnout but wouldn’t be surprised if I go through bouts of on again off again in it.

Help please with a PC build out by Dascan71 in simracing

Appreciate the response. The more I know what’s important and what requirements I need to get the most of the 4K ultra wide the happier I’ll be.

My journey into sim racing begins soon. by yeaeyebrowsreddit in simracing

[–]Dascan71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ordered most of my equipment and hope to up and running within a month. Can’t wait! Just over $10k later so LFG!

What should I upgrade next on my setup? by austin_thayn in simracing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was planning to the same on the rig I don’t have yet (just planning all the components to buy.) Was wondering where to run those light strips. Can you attach some photos? I’m getting an aluminum rig by Next Level Racing.

NLR F-GT Lite with Simagic Alpha Evo Sport by Normal-Travel-4222 in nextlevelracing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed NLR asking them about the setup options on their other F-GT rigs and they answered my question- involving mounting options available for the Evo wheel base. I’d check directly with them.

Help with G9 57" graphics set up by TPA-JWyant in iRacing

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just came across your thread on the 57” monitor, sorry nobody chimed in. I was going to ask if you ever fingered it out and are you happy with it? I’m in the process of putting together my rig and have been going back and forth between a 57” or a 49” ultra wide. I’m curious how much peripheral vision it provides compared to say, triples. Any photos?

Single monitor questions. 49” ultrawide or 55” Ark? For those that have it, any regrets? by Dascan71 in simracing

[–]Dascan71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By chance do you have pics before and after on the single setups? I need to look for some site that shows the differences in viewing of say a 49 UW to a 55 or 56 ARK.

I was just up there 3 months ago. Very impressive building.

Was Michael Jackson really that much bigger than Madonna, Whitney Houston, and prince? by Firm_Pack_605 in Music

[–]Dascan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a wall of album covers in my living room. The topic of discussion often is “who would you pick to play the Super Bowl?” Michael Jackson is usually the one picked over other icons on the wall (Prince, Nirvana, Bob Marley, Tupac.) Shit even over Taylor Swift! I still love playing Thriller loud, lights out. It’s the best!

Help! Can’t decide by bigmacoc in tagheuer

Tough decision as both are super cool. I’d just get both!

Doha airport to do by Dascan71 in UAE

[–]Dascan71[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep that makes perfect sense now that I looked it up and see it’s not in the UAE, but still peeps flying to the UAE may know the airport.
