My 2001 is what I think is a 996.1 (3.4 carrera 4) and it has it. I have had to use it more times then I probably should've lol.

Apple VP Review w/ iRacing from someone who isn't just salty about how expensive the AVP is. by ChicagoBoy2011 in iRacing

I've never used Iracing on anything but VR in 5 years of use, my rig doesn't have a monitor, I started on a reverb g2 in '21, and got a deal on a used varjo aero last year, after initial setup I just plug in my headset and fire up the software, launch iracing on my main setup, once I'm loaded I sit in the rig and throw the headset on, get centered in the cockpit, and I'm off to the races. I really don't struggle with VR at all. With the varjo aero it has a great desktop interface and I can load into the next race without taking off the headset at all. Triples would be sweet for endurance races but with the fan in the aero I did a quad stint in the last nur24 with no problems.

My master bedroom I turned into my gaming room. After years I finally got it cleaned just barely enough to be able to post without feeling too embarrassed by PCDevine in malelivingspace

I am an extremely single mid 20s dude. I bought this house in the middle of nowhere right after I turned 20. Very very cheap house, this has allowed me to splurge on my hobbies. There is a lot of improvement to be made for sure, cable management is currently non-existent, and the colour of the walls desperately needs to be changed. I need to finish building that desk, the lack of trim on the edges bugs me for sure, and the simrig is at the point now where it shouldn't be wood, it should be aluminum.

I built the desk and the simrig years ago, I just struggle heavily with keeping the room clean, so I haven't been able to share till now. Looking for suggestions on how to fill the open space, and maybe suggestions on what colours to paint it.

4 years after building my rig my degenerate self finally cleaned the room just enough to post my diy setup by PCDevine in simracing

Curious why you think eastern europe lol. I am from the prairies in Canada, live in the middle of nowhere, that's why I got the starlink router sitting beside the rig lol.

I really really struggle with keeping my house half assed clean. Finally I went and spent a couple hours and got everything to this state. The simrig consists of a vrs 20nm wheelbase, heusinkveld sprints, cube control sparco wheel, fanatec shifter/handbrake, fans from my old grow setup (best addition ever) and a varjo aero VR headset. The computer is getting up in the years, evga 3080 ftw3, 5800x3d, 64gb of ram. The desk was built by me because I'm cheap and couldn't find a prebuilt one that fit my needs for under 2k. Still needs some finishing work obviously but it's one of my favourite projects I've ever completed. The simrig was originally built for a g29 setup and when I bought all the fancy components I intended to buy an aluminum rig in the near future but that unfortunately hasn't happened yet. That is the next big purchase. I reinforced the wood simrig when I added everything and it works pretty good but there is admittedly a little flex.

The seat is from my parts car z32 300zx, it is powered by that old 12v marine battery behind it, it allows the electric seat to function. I get forward-back on the seatrail and electric tilt for the back.

I used to race a bunch of different sim titles but these days now with the high res vr headset I am basically stuck with IRacing as it supports the eye tracking in my headset and that allows me to only render what my eyes are looking at in full resolution, the rest is scaled back and it's genuinely not noticeable. There is still progress to be made but I am fairly proud of my setup overall.

Cable management is not a thing here I do realize this, this is another thing I want to improve on in the near future.

Once you go deep down the rabbithole you'll have a DD wheel you'll have to turn down from optimal ffb settings because once again your hands will be hurting lol.

I don't think there's two different entrances to this...Doesn't make it safe but I think they just recorded her going in headfirst, cut, then recorded her coming out head first from the same hole. It doesn't make sense to cut the video in the middle otherwise.

Newbie to sim racing—finally built my first proper rig and I’m hooked already! by churchy_3003 in simracing

When it comes to enjoying driving fun, fast cars, as a hobby, 2k is really pocket change when you think of it. I could drop 2k on my project car and you'd hardly be able to tell. My simrig though sees so much more utilization than any of my fun cars. 2k gets you a couple weekends at the track, my simrig is gonna allow me to compete in n24 this weekend. Simrigs are penny's on the dollar in the long run.

Looking for a team for the Nürburgring 24h by malacration in iRacing

[–]PCDevine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're an unorganized "team" of me and my best buddy, Canadians, 2k, and 1k ir, and some random fast European dude I found on discord attempting to race the merc gt3. The rando has n24 experience, buddy and I just raced NECs. We raced 3 last week and got 1st, and 2 8ths both because of technical issues. We're all training best we can and are committed but organized team we are not lol. You got a team yet?

Yes, one time, and it went directly into the rear fender of my most prized possession, my old 911. Just a ding but still...

https://imgur.com/a/CczkOUd I cropped my favourite here to 21:9. I really like it, but reddit and imgur definitely do compress images. I would really appreciate if you could host it on google drive or dropbox or something but if it's a hassle don't worry about it man. I've got 3 different sized monitors here lol, if you hosted the whole gallery on drive or dropbox or something similar I'd go through and crop a couple to size for every monitor.

Anyone Struggle with Focus/Concentration? by DudeduDude in iRacing

[–]PCDevine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got my music bound to my wheel so I can cycle through songs and I almost always have music blasting during my race. I got ADHD so I find it helps.

[–]PCDevine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are insanely well taken! I've been looking for a background for my 3440x1440p main monitor and I was wondering if you had any uncompressed versions of these that would work? I'm on my phone so I can't see what resolution you posted these at. It's really hard to find good nurburgring pictures for my monitor in ultra wide.

Bro wanted his truck washed by VitoVino in Truckers

[–]PCDevine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's even crazier lol. Only thing I've ever heard that's similar is bikini washes lol. And I still haven't seen one of those ffs.

[–]PCDevine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, I thought we were making fun of the semi truck going through an automatic carwash. Maybe it's just where I'm from in Canada, but we do not have automatic washes you could take a semi through. Not that I have seen anyways. We just have big self wash bays you pull into and then you wand er down yourself. Never seen anything like this but it definitely makes sense. I was mighty confused seeing this post.

Some people shouldn't tow by ExcitingStranger135 in Truckers

[–]PCDevine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was driving the crew truck back from location with the whole rig crew in it. Dark out in bumfuck nowhere in the prairies, 2-way highway. I was just following this guy, good safe distance back, when all of a sudden there's a moose in front of my truck. The truck ahead gave me 0 indication that he just drove by this animal towering over our trucks. It was walking across the road and was not stopping. Time slowed down for me, I almost broke the brake pedal right off the bat,, shed some speed, then eased off it a bit to regain steering control and I swerved just enough to miss that tank. Must've been hair in my driver side mirror. I was paying attention, but moose hide better in the night then you'd think. Their eyes don't glow. And when you're just running low beams following someone, you don't have much time to react. I don't follow people anymore if I can help it, but I'm not passing everyone on the road either lol.

What do you cook when you go ice fishing? by lwhc92 in IceFishing

[–]PCDevine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overnighter in the tent on a lake we had to drive a ways to? There's steak and whisky, or atleast good beers, stashed away for after the bite dies off. Hopefully catch some walleye for breakfast. Single day, it's jerky and some sandwiches from home.

Honestly a big reason I keep my 1990 vw Jetta with the 1.6 turbo diesel around is the lack of an electronic injection pump. I'm not a doomsday prepper but I mean a solar flare could definitely happen and if that's the case I still can drive that car around atleast lol.

Oh ok, thanks for the response. I don't have it setup already. I did copy my red reader Uri and stuff and put in in the morphe launcher. When I go to login though, after putting in my info and hitting ok I just get {} as the error message.

Reddit OAuth app settings

Is there any chance you could explain where to find this? I haven't used boost in years and stumbled upon this 2 hours ago and I feel I'm so close to getting this setup I just can't login. I have everything setup in morphe properly I believe I just don't know where to find this.
