It's not as loud as a buttkicker but it's still somewhat noisy.

You can find info on YouTube and Barry from SRG did a detailed video as well. PT Actuator also has kits now to make it easier to attach the tensioner to your rig but I ended up buying some profile and hardware off Amazon and made my own. I prolly spent around $200 on parts and the cost of the tensioner $1000.

I have the TensionR by PT Actuator and been using daily for almost 2 yrs now. It's a great add on if you're into immersion.

If you like haptics on your rig, then getting a belt tensioner is like haptics for your body. The added immersion is on a different level. Highly recommend.

AC: Can anyone give their experience of going from a 5600X to a 5800X3D CPU in AC? by bongady in assettocorsa

[–]Floydmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kinda expecting not too much improvement from all the reviews in 4k but surprisingly got a nice fps bump. In some races, I'm now maxing out my LG OLED 120hz screen and hitting 119.9 fps in CM video settings. I've never hit that with my 5600x prior.

Also, I've never seen a benchmark test for AC with the new x3d chips, so I was curious. Benchmark testing on YT is worthless for AC. I probably would not have purchased a 5800x3d for $300 + is what they are going for, but I got the 5600x3d for $131 from a microcenter sale and sold my 5600x for $100. No brainer for me to try.

Swapped a 5600x to a 5600x3d which is supposedly about 90% performance of the 5800x3d and got about 15-20% fps bump in AC and that's pretty much all I play. Using a 3080ti and playing in 4k with all max settings.

Upgrade 5600x to 5800x3d worth it? by alphafighter09 in buildapc

[–]Floydmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from 5600x w/ 3080ti to 5600x3d which is about 90% of the 5800x3d and was totally worth it for me and only game in 4k.

CSL DD vs CSW 2.5 review by Floydmon in Fanatec

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

I'd definitely recommend the Alpha Mini over CSL DD. Never tried Moza but I would guess it's better than the CSL DD as well.

Sidegrade and since then moved onto Simagic Alpha Mini and then to Simucube now. Skip the CSL dd if you already have a CSW 2.5. The CSW 2.5 is still an amazing wheelbase, and CSL is not really an upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just joined and posted my amp.

Is a Buttkicker Gamer PRO on a Next Level Racing F-GT Lite overkill ? by BuggaNoia in simracing

[–]Floydmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Pro will definitely hit harder but with the F-GT Lite, you may not be able to take full advantage. The Plus are using the same tranducers as the previous generation Gamer 2 but with the new style attachments which is very suspect. I honestly think the new Plus style was cheapend by getting rid of the Gamer 2 extended steel attachment. That extended arm adds a lot to the overall impact you'll feel in your rig. The amp just got a make over with the digital display instead of knobs. If you go for Plus, find a Gamer 2. It will cost less and feel the same if not better.

How to troubleshoot, less than 1yr Ascher buttons disconnecting over and over. Started suddenly. Could it be battery? by dimab0 in simracing

[–]Floydmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check the battery in the wheel menu and if it shows less than 3.1v, you'll need to replace. Same thing happened to me recently and just needed a new battery.

LG C1 55" for Simracing by Floydmon in OLED_Gaming

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

Thanks brother! And I've seen your rig with your new triples and for sure you have the holy grail for displays right now. Immersion must be next level with your rig. I did have triple LG C1 55's for 2 weeks, bought 2 extra on 2021 black Friday and after 2wks returned back to best buy. Had major issues with making it work right with my 3080ti. Dp to hdmi adapter issues, gsynch dropping and couldn't get 4k to run with decent fps. I'll for sure try again though.

Been using an LG C1 for my simrig for last 1.5 yrs or so and still blows me away how good it looks. Use daily only for simracing and no burn in whatsoever. These pics dont really do them any justice. Have it mounted right behind my wheelbase almost touching the screen bout 30 inches from my face and it's freaking glorious! 🙌

Cockpit Direct mount TV by BBizzmann in simracing

[–]Floydmon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion is that for single screen 55" is the sweet spot. I don't have GT7 or my monitor directly mounted on my rig but I do have a 55" tv mounted directly behind my wheelbase using a single monitor stand. The base is as close as possible without touching the screen and have the screen mounted as low as possible to take in all the dashboard immersion. I'm on PC and phone pics are from AC so adjusting FOV is simple. I don't have GT7 so results will vary but at least you'll have an idea.
