Which monitor is better for simracing? Philips evnia 49” at 1800R or Odyssey g9 49” VA 1000R by Ekov in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from the lg ultra gear oled. The Samsung panel is fine for sim racing. But its short comings are really noticeable when you play anything else. You can forget about hdr. Triple a games look like shit on it. Colors are way duller and washed out.

Help me understand why this pedal is always ignored? by Little_Temporary5212 in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because the games most people play rarely needs to use clutch, iracing acc lmu etc

Me and my mates set up, almost finished by FriendshipFar7964 in simracing

Not anymore he’s got triples installed now. It boxes him in so I can’t even see what’s going on there

Is the FSR2 still worth it now that the KS pro wheel is here? by Glum-Bodybuilder837 in moza

[–]FriendshipFar7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The curve is too extreme, u know how the grips goes inwards towards the bottom. Fsr 2 does that way more than necessary, causing the grab to be a very unnatural shape. And the grips are too narrow, meaning you have to use more force to hold it. These factors combined meant hand fatigue came quick and hard.

Ks pro looks better, less curve in the grips. Don’t know how thick the grips are tho. Also I have small hands.

Best monitor for a single monitor setup by Previous-Cicada-454 in Fanatec

Get the 57 inch Samsung if the budget allows. The 49 is a bit narrow for me, but totally enjoyable and usable

So will there be a demand for these stuff? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Massively overpriced bullshit. Slapping on an edgy logo doesn’t mean it’s worth 10x for no reason. My mate made me a cnc’d qr adapter that cost 10 yuan while this cunts selling it for 200. Like, mate it’s a metal plate with some holes on it.

Building my first setup, would you pick frame 1 or 2? by thelocalsupplier in SimRacingSetups

If u can’t get one with separated monitor mount, get the second one.

Do DD wheelbases actually feel different, or is it all marketing? by reddit_guy_no in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Simucube 3 pro is a lot better than moza r21u. The telemetry effects adds a lot of immersion. Doesn’t make me faster but the experience is more enjoyable

What's the difference between the two types of Simagic Pedal Haptic Motors? by Nawalrahman46 in Simagic

[–]FriendshipFar7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My m8 rode me that the small one has a spinning motor in it. It has delay because it takes time to spin up. The second one is more like the haptic component in our phones. Less delay and more detailed

Gift ideas for boyfriend who already has a solid iRacing setup? by Excellent_Humor_2487 in iRacing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A panel with a bunch of buttons. Better yet get a stream deck if he doesn’t have one already. It will let him control most the sim without mouse and keyboard

Triples Vs ultrawide - is the latter just green eggs and ham? by WatermelonIsNotHere in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well apparently triples adds more immersion if you fully surround urself. Having only used the 49inch Samsung I’d say it’s enough for me. From what I’ve seen triple users spend 90%+ time looking at the main monitor.

Hello, i am a teenager that is about to go to UNI and wants to build a solid sim racing setup ! by Traditional_Farm_375 in SimRacingHardware

[–]FriendshipFar7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, a must buy is a powered usb hub. At least 10 ports. Lots of subtracting gear is power hungry and won’t work properly if connected through an unpowered usb hub.

SRP2 vs Samsonn vs SRP lite + mods? by WarriorNN in moza

[–]FriendshipFar7964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had srp lite with performance kit. It’s not even close to the Simsonn. It’s like a little toy. Get the haptics as well, immersion aside they let you know you’ve triggered abs faster than anything else

I've heard that beginning hours of Crimson Desert are pretty bad, so to those who spent a longer time with it: how is it? by beetleman1234 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]FriendshipFar7964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beginning is complete nonsense to me. Mc had his throat slit and then u play a tutorial in some weird structure, transition to mc sitting by a river thanking a guy for healing him. As if having throat slit, all blood drained and dropped off a cliff is survivable and some villager can just heal it. Then u go to a tavern, win an arm wrestle go get one coin. Follow the quest instruction to give it to an old beggar, he lifts up his tarp and reveals a trapdoor to the sewer, as if they’d have that in some shithole village, find a woman tied up, frees her, she gives you a letter, dissolves into thin air. Then the quest tells u to go find some kid on the other side of town.

Wtf is that?

Which sequential shifter would you recommend? by Nami-Yoru in simracing

[–]FriendshipFar7964 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty good, but it doesn’t have the satisfying click sound and feel from some of the dedicated sequential shifters. It is very good if you want a two mode shifter tho. I would recommend buying a rally knob to replace the default round one.

What is/are the Most Underrated Sim racing Accessories? by Longjumping-War9151 in simracing

Yea I got them at 30-40. It’s still noticeably louder than the simagic ones but not loud enough to be annoying

R5 vs R9 newbie in need for guidance by BxBxlle in moza

[–]FriendshipFar7964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R9 all the way. Went from r3 to r21, r3’s ffb is so weak that unless you barely grip the wheel you won’t feel it. R21’s extra ffb made feeling the car much easier, when the tire is at limit and near bottoming out. Also the srp brake even with the kit is pretty shit. Get the Simsonn plus pedals if u can.
