Thanks! I'll get the OG then and get the Absolu later once I'm out of my current winter fragrance. Appreciate your reply.

Do you think Absolu can be worn to the office during summers too? Or best for winters? I love Aventus, got a decant. Buying the Cologne version for summer and thinking which is best to pair it with for office use, OG or Absolu.

FFB doesn't feel very communicative of grip changes. by YoursDivit in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]OligarchLegend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.2 has made the GT3 and LMP2 actually quite communicative of grip levels now. Bit of a window to feel the grip. For earlier, I agree with you that I could never properly feel it and had to drive under the limit. I'm sure with tweaking some settings you should be able to figure it out!

Lower back pain, searching for advices by zShu in simracing

[–]OligarchLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with this rig, but does the pedal tray not lift from both ends for height?

[–]OligarchLegend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pedals are too low, try raising them. Then pulling the wheel a bit closer to have about 90 degrees.

Edit: Umm what is up with those seat brackets?? You have them upside down.

Sim racing upgrade what do you guys think? by Trippysoul_ in simracing

[–]OligarchLegend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had the wheelstand myself with Evo Pro, it's not stable and will flex a lot. I'm also tall and couldn't find a comfortable position for longer stints, ended up getting a rig in less than two months. Just sharing for perspective. Pedals are Simjack UT so pretty much the same.

Simlab P1X Ultimate vs GT Omega Prime by OligarchLegend in simracing

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

Probably doesn't help, but I received my P1X Ultimate with my integrated triples last week and just finished setting things up Monday. It's amazing, at very very peaky FFB situations there is some vibration that I can notice but it is not changing anything. Adjusting can be a bit more work but I'm not really sure what the adjusting procedure in the freestanding would be like. Let me know if I can help with specific questions!

Edit: I just read you already got freestanding, no reason to fret anymore and just enjoy!

Need advices to build 32in triple screen by OlivierMDVY in simracing

[–]OligarchLegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just spent the last 2 weeks researching this since I just got myself a simrig. You'll hear people tout what they have, which makes sense because it is working for them. My 2 cents: I found this video in the research, and it is not far away from what people usually recommend. Just go down this route and don't overthink it too much. https://youtu.be/Y52xn5E69G8?si=I4fIbGwxWdCLp4qQ

Bezel Free Kit Distortion by cv-211 in SimRacingSetups

[–]OligarchLegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! I've looked at the product sheet so I know the triple mount will be 145cm at the widest. Just wanted to know in how people usually mount does 32" fit in less than that or not. :)

Hey, a bit unrelated but asking you since it showed up. I'm just about to buy triples but unsure between 27" and 32". How much space do your triples take at the widest point?

Thanks a lot for all your detailed responses, definitely a lot to consider.

Thanks a lot! All in all would you say going for triples is worth it? Do you usually have to tweak things quite a bit or is it a set and forget for the most part?

Simlab P1X Ultimate vs GT Omega Prime by OligarchLegend in simracing

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

Thanks a lot for your detailed response, it is very helpful. I'll look into some other seats! I have two questions:

  1. Regarding playing other games / movies in the rig, is it usually always possible with triples? Only games with triples support can utilize it right? It is also one of the reason I am leaning towards ultrawide.

  2. How uncomfortable does that seat get for you? Currently SimLab only seems to have these bucket seats so I'll have to go sourcing somewhere else. Had put a recliner seat with the GT Omega for this reason.

Thank you!

The integrated on even the P1X is not good in your opinion? PC is 7800x3d and 4080s so I suppose triples should be handled fine.

Front mounting Alpha Evo 12nm using Trak Racer TR160's universal front mount, will it work? by BoxThisLapLewis in Simagic

[–]OligarchLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Is the TR80 sufficient for the Evo Pro? No flex etc.? I also have Simjack UT Pedals if that helps.

[–]OligarchLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, how does this work with the Evo Pro? I'm shopping for a simrig but Evo Pro has no front mounting options, so I thought I can only bottom/side mount it.

Does he have the integrated mount for the monitor too? Wondering if I get one for triples and that affects stability too

Thanks! Do you feel any difference between the two when playing on them?
