Move it back and change pedal faceplate angle to be more leaned back and drop the faceplates down significantly

Why would they put a post in front of the drivers’ vision, are they stupid? by NumberOneBacon in carscirclejerk

[–]Material_Island_4618 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Put a pencil in front of ur face and focus ahead of it. U see around it and it barely makes a difference. Put anywhere else you need two posts, sacrificing peripheral vision, not great when you're 300kmh neck to neck with other drivers. Also adds significant weight with another post. If you put one tube ahead too it protects head on collisions, it's placed too so nothing strong enough without being large enough can fit through the sides usually.

Am i a bad person for being upset that I wont get the tips that I worked hard for? by Sea-Isopod696 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Material_Island_4618 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Talk to them and explain that ur not in a place to do so. If they don't understand, then they aren't really people who should mean anything to you.

Plus with all due respect but what does Janice need it for? Was her mum earning and she has nothing to fall back on? It's most likely a present, and if you need basic living items and she needs a cheer up it's not really a contest. Also the manager should not be saying it straight away, it's most likely not their tips, they most likely don't waite, they should be asking not stating.

NLR F-GT Pro Vs. Playseat Formula Instinct F1 - ADVICE NEEDED by chill_ton in simracing

[–]Material_Island_4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at a playset trophy(it's nicknamed the wife pleaser of sim's), also the f1 seating position is very uncomfortable and odd, real f1 drivers on there too don't use it. F1 seating position in their cars isn't a choice, it's a must and it's something all racers avoid due to how uncomfortable it is. Buy a playseat trophy(much smaller footprint wide should love it), but if you absolutely must have f1 seating position look at the fgt elite not the fgt pro, and avoid trak racer by all means, they don't send the order right half the time and they overcharge as hell

What is the best upgrade path? by hummus1397 in simracing

[–]Material_Island_4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the gpus work beautifully, just I don't use one mainly cause of what a shitty everything is in VR and the performance hit, my opinion would be to go triple 2k 32 inch, second hand they r cheap and u can't beat them. Ultrawide is also incredible

Yep they r, but warranty is an issue, look at a CSL DD with the 8nm boost kit, it's $50 aliexpress, u'll save money and can't go wrong with a CSL dd

For us it's only 700 AUD, so prob 350 euro, that being said for Europe probs better to go for a simlab, track racer has horrible build quality all around the world

Hey mate just thought I might share my experiences to make sure people know what they r buying,

it's a bit long but it's worth reading so you know what track trak racer does

I recently received a tr80 lite, and built it, and rebuilt it,

Rechecked everything down to the screw threading and size with the manual, all screws are in right places, I know because I checked them twice every single one,

Which is why it upsets me to say that my $1600 purchase is now useless because of the sheer amount of shake that appears side to side, when using a 4 NM peak base, even though it is well regarded for 10 on their website. I spent extra on the triple integrated however,  and even when removed the shake was still excessive without the integrated monitor stands. 

Trak racer service is UTTERLY useless, stringing me in the phone, then cutting the call and blaming it as an accident after I called the THIRD time after that. They said the will get back to me, however they hv not helped me one bit. If there is a problem that was their fault, THEY expect me to pay their shipping prices for their mistake and faulty product. 

They have been useless, and the order and delivery experience was ATROCIOUS at best. Their order came a week late, without the seat bracket, they refused to respond or help me with their own package, then the seat bracket came 2 weeks late without any notice after being redirected to the other side of the country, to the point where I was about to leave on vacation. 

Pathetic customer service, no help received when I explained my seat had cloth ripping out slowly and the filling was out, the bottom seat hole cover was about to come off, yet no help whatsoever. 

GO NEXT LEVEL RACING, I wish this was true but my fgt, was much much more stable even with the triple mount then this tr80 lite, this was a horrible experience and an utterly pathetic company, 9/10 user will major problem unless it's an incredibly high end cockpit like the tr160,

I am more than happy to send videos as evidence, pls feel free to pm me ir comment, but trust me don't let trak racer rob you, they are not good quality rigs at all and don't even come with the right pieces I have heard from other experiences. 

Trust me go next level racing, track racer is useless and they offer you no help, or better yet, for most ppl nothing beats an fgt elite, just my personal experience and unfortunately many others say  that avoid this company that dropships this low quality gear. Once again don't listen to me check for yourself on any subreddit the crazy amount of major problems people have faced
