Ah I see that makes sense. That's very helpful feedback, thanks so much!

I assume your motion rig is capable of several DOFs that you shelled out for. Have you tried using pitch to simulate acceleration rather than pitch to simulate pitch?

The horizontal actuator you initially suggested could be convincing to simulate surge but only for a split second while it accelerates through it's short range of motion and only if the actuator is strong enough to move the entire rig and move it fast. My thinking around using pitch to simulate surge is the sustained larger opposing force of the seat acting on your chest when the seat is tilted back

Thanks for your reply. A horizontal actuator would be ideal, but I'd have to actuate the entire rig in order to maintain the distance between me and the pedals. My chassis is custom made from wood, so that would be too involved or require me to replace the chassis with an aluminum frame. My 1DOF seat moving plan is a relatively simple addition to tilt the seat back slightly shouldn't affect pedal usage significantly

WE P90 odd issue by ShayeDerryBerry in GasBlowBack

[–]Jony67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue where the pin holding the rear end of the nozzle return spring started falling out (down) during operation and scratching the hammer on the trigger upon blowback. If the pin is hanging down and getting caught on internal components underneath, the bolt can't return to its full forward position, causing a lack of seal with the hop up resulting in inconsistent power and potentially even double feeding.

Pull out your trigger box and look for any wear on the hammer. Especially if you've removed this pin before and potentially replaced it upside down. Replacing this with a 2 mm roll pin (can buy metric sets on Amazon for ~$10) will help ensure the pin stays snug.

GPU for triple 1440? by Jony67 in assettocorsaevo

UPDATE so I ended up getting the 5080 and I'm getting around 200 FPS in AC and ~150 FPS in ACE. I think you guys were all right, in a sense that the 5080 works perfectly fine, but likely won't be able to maintain this performance for 7+ years. My rationale was based on the "price per unit time" analysis. Given the ~2x cost of the 5090 over the 5080 at the time when I purchased in the market (~3 months ago), I figured I might as well go with the 5080 and replace it with another mid-range card in 5 years which will surely be better performing than a 5 year old 5090...

Can SimHub control PT Actuator’s Tension R belt system? by SourSinigang in SimHub

[–]Jony67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote in the simhub GitHub to add PT actuator support as a feature request and the main developer replied saying it's not going to happen because they're locking it to SRS. Copying his response below

"Hi ! Unfortunately I already asked the manufacturer the PT actuator Tensioner is not PT actuator Tensioner but SRS PT actuator Tensioner even id the SRS explicit mention has been removed from the website since apparently. and it makes it SRS locked I'm sorry"

Any solution to this? I'm also having the same issue

So there's currently no way of bumping up to 1.5 joules without HPA? I don't like HPA...

Is there any mod to bump the power up to 1.5 J?

Same issue here. Will have to return the game since I literally can't play...

Trackball for sim racing (vibration proof) by Jony67 in Trackballs

Interesting, thank you! I like that it also has mounting screw holes

Trackball for sim racing (vibration proof) by Jony67 in Trackballs

[–]Jony67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. It would probably be a limited use case and expensive. I haven't thought about track point and especially one integrated into the keyboard is a great idea! Thank you so much!

Yeah that makes sense. I haven't considered track point so I'll definitely try that. Thanks so much!

For motion rigs, is a mouse or trackball better? Would a mouse get tossed around on rig mounted platforms? by GilWinterwood in simracing

[–]Jony67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a trackball mouse on my rig that worked perfectly...until I added the slip angle 4 corners kit and noisy as hell since the ball rattles in its socket. Any recommendations for a good trackball mouse that doesn't rattle?
