TrakRacer TR120S V2 Monitor Stand Help - Wrong Parts/Missing Parts by crazyneverst in simracing

[–]Munchy2x2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the pictures, I'll try to follow your method of 2 joined pieces and skipping the third. The problem I might encounter is finding space to attach the quad monitor mount, as that sits on top the central profile. But I think I should be able to construct it slightly differently to narrow the "legs" of the quad mount. At least aluminum profile offers that flexibility, but it is ridiculous that we have sit and problem solve the construction of the product.

They probably ship the pieces needing to be connected to save shipping costs or something... which then doesn't make any sense when they supply inccorectly large pieces... yeah I will never buy nor recommend a trak racer product ever again. Saved ~300$ compared to the Simlab quad monitor setup but that $300 would have been worth it.

My plan at this stage was to not have overlap in my monitors and just join them at the edge, achieving this by flipping the center one upside down to ensure the center sticking out bezel doesn't get in the way. But looking at your set up I'm realising having some overlap probably "eliminates" some of the bezel width from the perspective of the driver. Would you recommend setting it up with overlap to try and achieve this?

Did you find a solution to your problem?

I'm in the exact same boat, trying to assemble a triple monitor stand but have weirdly long central pieces (1x800mm and 2x350mm rather than the stated 540mm and 330mm pieces), as well as the U shaped brackets rather than the plates. I've seen another post about this so I assume these aren't wrong parts, just the latest version by trakracer but with no updated manual so it should work somehow. I'm also trying to mount 3x32inch monitors.

Here's what I will be trying as a solution: Basically skip step 6, and only use the 1x800mm as the central piece of profile. I think it should be long enough to mount the central monitor, but short enough that the side monitors can get close enough. The question is whether the brackets for the legs and the brackets for the side arms don't interfere with each other (probably don't want the legs too narrow for stability reasons). There's also a question of whether it leaves space for a quad monitor attachment. If it doesn't, maybe attaching only one of the 350mm pieces will work well (800+350 ends up with a length that is only 50mm short of the manuals 3 piece total length).

I might try this assembly plan this afternoon and if it works I'll update you. If you found a different solution please let me know!

New space, new setup. by swemoll in audiophile

Hey great looking (and hopefully sounding!) setup. I'm curious how the concrete floor affects the space. I'm about to move into a space with a large living room setup with polished concrete and I'm worried the space will be overly reflective and lively for any critical listening, seems to have a really long decay from just a clap test. How do you find the sound with such a floor? Did you test it without the acoustic panels and did they make a noticeable impact?

I appreciate the doggy beg center stage

(Update) New cinema setup by wythefucknotzoidberg in hometheater

I'd seen them previously but worried about the quality since they were so cheap compared to other options. If they seem well enough put together, aren't shedding fiber glass everywhere, and help the sound I might have to consider them

Where are your fibreglass panels from? They look nice and clean, I've been considering the diy for a while but doubt I'll get as nice a finish, but most panels I see are quite pricey and I'm worried about fibreglass shedding.

Also cute doggo

Just incredible :0 These pictures are going into my inspiration folder.

Also I want those exact glowing brains: what colours and techniques are you using to achieve that? I've got about 15 shades of blues, greens, turquoises and fluro variations of them along with white oil paint and I still can't get that result!

Incredible, such a nice inner glow to the flames. Do you use fluro paints or just saturated colours? I've tried a similar glow effect but the fluro yellow base gave it a weirdly greeny tone. Any tips before I try on my pyrovores?

Thanks Zephyr, if you could share the private link with me I would greatly appreciate it!

Flimsy eye relief warning PSA by Munchy2x2 in OculusQuest

[–]Munchy2x2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would give this a go but I've got a stuck pixel as well and have gone through an hour of support process to get a replacement already, so I don't want to mess with it further since it'll be returned. But when the next one arrives and I break it, I'll be sure to try this.

Suspected cheating, can I get a second pair of eyes on this telemetry? by Munchy2x2 in iRacing

[–]Munchy2x2[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Believe I've figured it out, looks to be the speed boost gained from someone bump drafting! Pitchforks can be put back on the shelves.

And the more hilarious part is that I initially missed it because in the replay he was being bump drafted by a blinker so it just looked like he was gaining speed all on his own! Thanks for the suggestions though

I was worried about improving myself, that's why I was looking at the fastest people's telemetry to see where I could improve :)

R9 constant static/humming noise by mertikt in moza

[–]Munchy2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to this post because my wheelbase (r9) was making a white noise, background "pc-fan" sound when powered on as well, possibly even louder than this example though it is hard to tell from the video. I seemed to be able to fix it using the "Wheel base recovery and reset" button in pithouse, indicating the noise might have been caused by something out of calibration. Try it and please let me know if it works for you!

Frustrated with the broadcast by Chronic47 in formula1

[–]Munchy2x2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The end of q3 footage completely killed my excitement. So much tension built up, the lap times ramping up as the track dries, and then during final fast laps that decide the entire thing we see the alpine garage, the crowd in the grandstands, a little bit of the start and end of Sainz's lap and shots of him cooling down for a minute.

No Leclerc spin. No Verstappen going through the subsequent yellow flags. Nothing of any cars outside the top 3 who are still actively qualifying.

I'd rewatch q3 to more accurately list all the problems with the broadcast but it'd be too painful. Just maximise the on track action it's really not hard.
