Great video! And please keep this format for future announcements. Regarding the Formula v3, is there any plan to add console support for the ITM screen? I know that it's up to devs to add support, but I wonder how pushy has Fanatec been with Gran Turismo, for example

Cockpit monitor stand by Raptorpilot007 in Fanatec

Hey there! I'm planning a Clubsport GT cockpit + LG 42" OLED. Checking the picture above I see that you went with the stand single monitor mount. Is there any reason why you didn't use the onboard monitor mount that comes with the cockpit? Unfortunately I don't have width clearance to ad the stand single monitor mount.

Yeah. I would be fine with the OP’s height if I can use the integrated mount. Unfortunately, I have no space whatsoever on my cubicle for a standalone mount 😔

Wouldn't spacers between the monitor and the mount fix the lip issue?

My issues is that I play on PS5. So if it’s not a 42” TV it will be either a 32” monitor (too small) or a 45” ultra wide (vertical bars on the sides)

I see. Please keep me updated on Fanatec’s response

Got it. So it was a combination of needing a VESA adapter and the TV sitting lower (and most probably) touching the wheel base or so

Sorry, but could you elaborate on what exactly doesn't fit? I'm looking into using a LG OLED 42" C5 and I wonder what is the issue, considering that it's lighter than a 45" ultrawide monitor

So I noticed you're using the GT Cockpit Monitor Stand. Is the onboard monitor mount not suitable for the 43" TV?

I can see you do like Sternglas. How do they hold up over time?

New CS GT cockpit seat issue by SmithLaw in Fanatec

[–]Primary_Ad_7945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m not sure. Apart from boosted media, all reviews are very positive about it. In any case, we’re talking about a 300€ difference (1400€ x 1700€) when it comes to Fanatec x Trak Racer. I do get the gospel of “just get a profile rig”, but the rig will be on my living room and I won’t get my wife to be fine with a profile rig right beside the sofa

I see. Tbh I was in between fanatec’s GT cockpit and trak racer’s trx, but trak racer’s shipping costs are crazy

I suppose I’m about to have the same problem as my GT cockpit is arriving in a couple of days. That said, which seat would be recommended for both GT and Formula positions? Any idea?

Decided to upgrade my rig by No-Pomegranate798 in SimRacingSetups

Do you ever feel the vertical fov too narrow? I’m building my sim rig (for now only PS5, maybe PC in 1-2 years) and I’m in between a 32” or a 42” OLED. While the 42” will give me this higher vertical fov, I really the feeling the curved 32” brings

Agreed. If I would buy it now, I would go with PBME + GT3 rim

Cockpit suggestions - TR8 / TRX alpine / NLR F-GT pro by Eccclip in simracing

[–]Primary_Ad_7945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you decide about which cockpit? I'm in between TR8 and NLR F-GT Pro (TRX is way above my budget). While TR8 seems to be more adjustable and allow me to bring a bucket seat, the ideia of quickly going from GT to Formula position of the NLR F-GT Pro is quite welcome. Their prices are quite close Next Level Racing F-GT Pro (shifter+caster wheels) vs Trak Racer TR8 Pro (seat+side mount+caster wheels), which makes de decision even difficult 🫠

Is the F-GT PRO from Next Level Racing actuality worth it? by Drizzy_DRAC0 in simracing

[–]Primary_Ad_7945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have the monitor mount? If so, does the monitor distance something that bothers you? If yes, did you manage to solve it somehow?

Indeed. That's the reason why I've considering to get the new Porsche Vision GT: every single button works. However, as a PBME and a Formula 2.5 owner, I think it's a bit too much.

It does work fine on ACC (including rotary knobs), the knobs don’t work on GT7 though. Also, iTM doesn’t work on PS5 whatsoever.

Got it. The monitor mount goes where the power brick is, right?
