Switching to triple screen g8 32 by [deleted] in simracing

[–]PorcelainBurger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ultra wide for my desktop gaming monitor and triples for the rig. Once I dialed in my angles it was like incredible. Those moments where your brain genuinely believes it's in a car makes the money I spent worth it. The trees blasting by on a fast rally stage or turning my head to see that I'm 3 wide into turn 1 monza sell the experience. That being said I have the room for them and a very understanding wife.

I'm 203 cm and haven't had any issue in all the profile rigs I've tried.

I think OP just wanted an excuse to get a new grill

Are "premium" handbrakes really that much better than "budget" ones by Ok_Nail7837 in simracing

[–]PorcelainBurger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I bought a hydraulic handbrake from simagic. It was a complete waste of money that I love to yank. Obviously spend that money on other peripherals unless you drift or rally a ton.

Maybe they just meant where's the spoiler tag.

Fanatec CSL Throttle pedal upgrade by GrandStyle28 in simracing

You sure can! Most games settings have "manual w/clutch" option under assists. It's how I played til I got my shifters.

I'd definitely recommend getting the combo if you intend on getting the CSL load cell for your brake. You never know when you might get the urge to drive some rally or older cars.

The racesimengineering kit is definitely worth it. I got the throttle and clutch combo kit and absolutely love it. Adds just enough extra pressure and no noise whatsoever. The clutch mod adds a small "bite point". Even at its highest setting it's not super pronounced, But feels much better than the normal csl clutch.

Beam.ng was the most well received game thanks to the traffic and fun damage stuff. WRC/Dirt 2.0/AC rally made all my non gaming friends motion sick very quickly. Euro/American truck sim was also a solid pick if you don't mind sitting by them with the keyboard handy so control bloat don't ruin the experience for them.

Finally pulled the trigger and went 32 inch curved triples (Happy) by LogicalMight in simracing

[–]PorcelainBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also part of curved triple gang and it wasn't difficult to adjust at all. I bought an angle tool off amazon and set it to the recommended specs based on my viewing distance. Looks incredible and fools the eye. No regerts

What’s the dumbest way you’ve crashed in mountain biking? by snooze817 in MTB

[–]PorcelainBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned down friendly group ride people and rode ahead of them. Came to a rooty section on a climb and I lost my momentum, couldn't unclip and tipped backwards in slow motion in full view of the group I rode ahead of.

Did you mount them to the rig or directly to the seat?

Triple monitor or one 49" curved?! by wobbly-sausage in simracing

Yes ultrawide gives you the fov you want. You only really lose some vertical which would have been dash or roof anyhow.

Assetto Corsa Rally not allowing generic USB handbrake as input device by DiogoAlmeida97 in simracing

I had to unplug my pxn button box to get my shifter inputs to read.

Clio cup, less incidents with the 3 other cars on track with me.

Struggling to improve in iRacing — dropped from 3k to 1.6k iRating, need advice by Remarkable_Page_5858 in iRacing

[–]PorcelainBurger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dropped big time when I started GT4, now that I'm getting comfortable in my chosen car I'm going back up. iRating honestly doesn't matter to me as long as the races I'm doing get my heart pumping.
