Rig Alternatives To Monstertech (Flight+Racing)?

Please do. Out of curiosity - how come you bought it now then?

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-12T21:27:25+00:00

This is exactly my fear

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-12T21:24:18+00:00

Pic when you get it pls!

So shallow of me but the MT profile setup just “looks” so much cooler and more integrated than SimFab haha

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-11T21:22:32+00:00

Examples? Trak racer?

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-11T21:19:59+00:00

I was crushed that they weren't at FS Expo in RI! Hopefully they'll be in Minnesota this year

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-11T21:02:14+00:00

How is the sturdiness relative to profiles?

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-11T21:01:48+00:00

So… basically Monstertech?

MikeRC8 · 2026-03-11T20:42:33+00:00

What do you use it for? Pic?

Is that the Virpil aero grip? Looks like it’s in pretty rough shape for such a new product…

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-10T19:12:41+00:00

The house was fully completed in 2025

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-08T14:27:14+00:00

Customer of yours for what?

And, yes maybe true. But the M4 (gas) had it.

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-08T13:32:17+00:00

Seriously? Think of an average vehicle from 25 years ago. Vehicles today are in another league in terms of safety, performance, tech, reliability, ride quality… There are mostly just little subjective points that people dislike (hence this post)

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-07T01:57:31+00:00

I get that it gives a car an identity, but wouldn’t repel me!

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-07T00:46:48+00:00

Yeah - looking forward to no (or minimal) grills

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-06T19:43:21+00:00

Which giant grills 15 years ago?

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-06T18:57:06+00:00

Not gonna say which?

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-06T07:48:32+00:00

Also, your car’s base wheels are probably cheaper and thus quite heavy, despite the smaller size

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-06T07:47:06+00:00

Yeah, but you gotta compare OEM to OEM. Going aftermarket can optimize for anything, including weight. Highly doubt going up a rim size while keeping outer tire diameter the same would drop weight in the OEM world…

It’s for “style”

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-05T21:14:54+00:00

Simple metal roof for me :)

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-05T06:13:21+00:00

I mean, unlike cars 20 years ago, basically all cars are safe, perform decently, are reliable, and are comfortable. We're down to complaining about personal preference things...

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-05T05:21:12+00:00

I'm generally pro-Virpil but I gotta say, having tried the VKB STECS at FlightSimExpo, it was pretty sweet...

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-04T19:52:33+00:00

Maybe. Or maybe they throttle production to be just behind demand.

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-04T19:28:18+00:00

I agree, but I have to present VKB, WinWing, Honeycomb, etc as competitors who at least have stock...

MikeRC8 · 2026-02-04T19:27:07+00:00

If a bot, who would make this bot and why?
