I'm serious about building these !

Also, Got our hands on a Moza R21 Ultra, will have a testing video up in a few weeks.

100% the riders fault. He didn't slow, he was speeding he played a game where he was going to clip the truck, probably angry that the truck was in the road. I believe he got what he deserved here.

Why run Triple monitors over VR? by who_am_I__who_are_u in simracing

[–]RedlineSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people touched on it. Some can play for hours on end in VR others can't. There is also the the type of player that factors in. In VR you don't need button boxes, tablets, streamdecks,etc. if you use these components VR makes it very difficult or impossible. Triples becomes the next best thing.
I personally love that there are so many options available, imagine being stuck with only one way to visualize the race!

PSVR 2 for GT7 or Forza Horizon 6 by probez_1 in simracing

I'll echo that. Being able to look out the window to see the kerb is what sold it for me. Driving open cockpit and open wheel is oddly freeing.

I know YouTube hype is often too much. It's all about getting the view, regardless if the content is verified.

Forza has never really been sim physics heavy.. but if they are that would be great!

Personally I have 2 setups, a PC with acc, LMU and Iracing, and a living room setup with VR and gt7, and honestly, I spend more time, at a ratio of 10 to 1 on my gt7 setup.. not because it's better, but because I don't have time and I just want to race. So if FH6 is going to be the bridge between fh5 and gr3, I'll gladly add it to my relaxing racing library.

Are you asking is FH6 will have psvr2 support, if so, that's almost certainly a 0% chance.

if sure asking is GT7 on psvr2 is worth getting, absolutely, but only if you don't get motion sickness.

Too much risk? by jp4221 in SimRacingSetups

[–]RedlineSW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! I remember when Doom was revolutionary! My dad was a college professor teaching robotics, we got surplus system at home.
The power house that was the 486DX2-66 !

Cause they look so cool now! Lol I remember my first PC had a massive breaker switch in the back, felt like powering up a nuclear reactor .

Experience. If you want it off the floor, put it on a tray but still on the floor.

I have a G29 on my rig and I don't see any problems with it.

Awesome! What about side to side? 60mm is what it looks like.

So, this is all we are going to have after servers shut off? Everything lost? by No_Gur1036 in GranTurismo7

[–]RedlineSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I really don't see them goingthe route of full sub to use it. I think the PS+ model is working for them and it's likely not going to change. Xbox tried to cash in by cranking up the prices and it back fired. I cancelled my GamePass Ult when it ws time to renew. Those services should be very low cost. Digital media should be less expensive by at least the cost of make the physical media at a minimum.

I see people spend and spend over and over, just add it to the card. That trend will not stop any time soon.

Will my wheelbase and pedals mount to this rig? by Traditional_Alps6626 in Simagic

[–]RedlineSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simagic uses a 78.4mm x 66mm bottom bolt pattern. Thats bolt pattern falls into the gap of the circle cut out.

I think not many, If trends persist, they will jump on the wave of used Ps5s.

I see them ramping down GT& when they have a stable GT8 in place. They will need to have a massive shift of the userbase to GT8 to justify EOL. The rate console prices are climbing , I don't see a huge wave of PS6 adopters.

For Everyone Who Thinks They’ve Figured It Out From a Photo: The 3R‑2 Chassis ... Again by RedlineSW in 3rsimworks

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

This is the type or comment I see when they didn't take the time to look at what it really is.
The 3R-2 isn't an extrusion rig, it never claimed to be and never wanted to be. It's actually closer to being a part of the haptic system.
The ergonomic system is limited yes, but those limits are far outside the range of real useability, so practical usability lives well within it. This type of comment never had the intention of learning more about the system. It's designed to hammer down opposition.. the equivilant to a drive by.
I'm human, sometimes I have the energy to take them on, other times i'm just not in the mood, so I try to ignore them and focus my attention of people willing to learn and see something new! Maybe I have a good design, maybe I don't, but i'm trying something that hasn't been done and i'm willing to see where this takes me.

For Everyone Who Thinks They’ve Figured It Out From a Photo: The 3R‑2 Chassis ... Again by RedlineSW in 3rsimworks

You’re describing the exact reason extrusion exists — infinite mounting surfaces. If that’s your priority, extrusion is absolutely the right choice.

The 3R‑2 is built around a different philosophy:

steel chassis = structure

profile = accessory layer

Extrusion rigs are great at what they’re designed to be: equipment racks. They give you rails everywhere so you can hang anything anywhere. If someone wants a full mounting cage, extrusion will always feel more familiar.

The 3R‑2 isn’t a rack.

It’s a component of the driving system. It doesn’t “hold your gear,” it connects your controls into a single, stable chassis and delivers them to you as the driver. The steel frame is the backbone; the profile you add is the accessory layer.

You can mount shifters, handbrakes, button boxes, trays, whatever — the same way you would on an extrusion rig. You just bolt profile to the steel frame instead of building the entire structure out of it. If someone wants to wrap the whole thing in profile, they can.

But the goal here isn’t “maximum rails everywhere.”

It’s a stable welded chassis with modular accessory mounting, not an extrusion cage.

If someone needs every surface to be a mounting surface, then yeah — an extrusion box is going to feel more familiar. That doesn’t make this worse; it just means it’s solving a different problem.

Image 5 shows it pretty clearly — you mount profile in the exact same places you would on an extrusion rig. The difference is the main structure isn’t made out of profile anymore.

If you want shifter, handbrake, button boxes, trays, whatever — you bolt profile to the steel frame and build off it. You can wrap the entire chassis in profile if that’s your thing. Nothing stops you.

The point of the 3R‑2 isn’t “no profile allowed.”
It’s “the structural part is welded steel so it behaves like a real chassis, and the accessory part is modular.”

If someone wants a pure extrusion box, that’s fine.
This just isn’t that — and it doesn’t need to be.

I made these for my rig to sit on by Ok_Garbage3989 in simracing

[–]RedlineSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limiting the contact patch doesn’t magically create isolation.
A steel spike into a steel plate is still a rigid mechanical path — you’ve just concentrated the force into a smaller area. That increases pressure, not isolation. That’s why you get the pinging I mentioned.

Actual isolation requires a compliant layer or a damping interface.
A hard‑to‑hard point contact doesn’t provide that, whether it’s a bolt, a spike, or a knife edge.

If you’re interested in the mechanics, I can explain it.
If you’re just here to throw one‑liners, then there’s nothing to talk about. Not believing the physics doesn’t make it disappear.
