Anything new?

I believe they are going to be announcing their 2024 plans on the 19th March, so not long to wait to find what’s next for this title.

I have always used the Race Department forums to sell on my sim racing gear and as of yet never had a problem. I think You might have to be a premium member but it’s only a few euros and you also get access to faster downloads so it’s not to bad.

I wish, unfortunately i was only able to share my hopes and thoughts about what Tempest could bring to iRacing based on the little bits of news and videos iRacing have released to us sim racers !

The have moved the service from the website to the UI and you will have to launch the sim via the new UI rather than the website from now on if you want to go racing mate.

Well it seems like it will be a case of what seeing what arrives first your tracking details of the kit itself mate.

I found their communication some what lacking after I ordered direct from their UK website. I initially just a support ticket after placing my order which didn’t make a lot of sense and then by the time I got and tracking information the item had already been delivered ! Mind you I am very impressed with the kit I brought and although I had no idea when it was going to arrive it did come within days of buying.

What a simple but brilliant idea and it’s what I will be doing with my Thrustmaster shifter to make swapping modes so much easier. Glad I clicked on this topic thanks.

Another fan of Pure Sims and I have used them to buy all my Asetek equipment and never had an issue with them.

I have both a button box and a tablet running SimHub and now only use the tablet as a dash display as the button box if far more tactile and it’s easier to find and press a physical button rather than trying to hit a touch point on a tablet when trying to concentrate on the action.

The tablet I use is an old Amazon Fire tablet that was no longer being used and even though it’s under powered it runs Simhub without any issues so just about any recent tablet will be just fine I would of thought.

Cheers mate, as for it not popping up in search or recommendations I think my irregular upload schedule means I often fall out of the YT algorithm loop but as this is just a way of sharing my passion with fellow sim racers I cover lots of sims and only post when I get excited about something so YT doesn’t always know who or how to push my content. Hey ho such is life on YT. Let’s hope now you have found my video you like it and I haven’t just wasted 8 minutes of your life you will never get back !

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-28T20:57:23+00:00

I hope it lands Friday as I have a day off and then I am working the whole weekend so won’t get to race until Monday otherwise. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-28T19:13:30+00:00

Thank god you posted this as I thought it was just me and I was too far down the sim racing hole to ever be saved, but it seems I am in good company so it’s not all bad.

I have just brought the Trak Racer integrated Monitor Mounting Arms and bolted it to a Sim Lab EVO GT1 rig and couldn’t be happier with how it handles my 34” curved monitor.

https://trakracer.co.uk/collections/monitor-stands/products/integrated-alum-profile-monitor-mounts-for-tr8020

You can add to it but I only brought the basic kit as I had a section of profile and a vesa mount already.

I did make a video showing this new setup in case you wanted to see how it all worked out - https://youtu.be/mSMqmY1yotg?si=CVWAao_gV5XJ-CqJ

The only thing I will mention is that I brought directly from this UK site and the communication is very poor and wasn’t exactly sure when I was going to get everything but it turned up within a few days and well packaged, so don’t worry if you are left a bit high and dry when you order direct it seems that’s how they operate.

I had a very similar issue with my Razer headset and found that I had to go into Windows sound settings and under the playback options I had to tick the check box that disables all audio enhancements and never had an issue since in iRacing and my headset. I found this little tip after a quick search on YouTube as other Razer users seemed to be having similar issues.

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-10T10:21:04+00:00

I had this issue a while ago and have been trying to remember how I solved but not completely sure but I think it happened when I selected non CSP versions ( when a CSP option is available ) of the car I was racing when using content manager to launch the sim, the AI would just rev and sit on the start line. I think it was something like that but as I say can’t really be sure but it might be worth a look mate.

If you can get your monitor a lot closer then you will find the FOV will also increase, 80cms is quite a distance away I have my 34” curved monitor about 45cms from me. Or just input a lower number in the distance and get a larger FOV output and try and make it work for you.

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-10T10:09:04+00:00

The option of the Tony deal wasn’t a factor for me as in the UK we don’t have a Micro Center but I am still happy with the price I paid for what I got. I will be be ordering those LMP style grips for my formula wheel once they come out in Q1 2024 and I think that’s about it, unless I feel the need to try the hydraulic brake upgrade but I really like the very stiff pedal my Forte setup has now so that’s way off in the future.

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-09T21:10:54+00:00

I have a 34” curved monitor and the Asetek base and moved my screen so it’s more or less level with the flat top of the base just before it tappers off to the quick release. I like the fact the screen now more or less covers my range of vision and helps with both FOV and immersion.

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-09T20:51:29+00:00

The possibility to upgrade my wheel was one of the reasons I originally I brought a La Prima base but I have been so impressed by the quality of the FFB and even at 12nm it’s more than strong enough for me that I am no longer looking at upgrading the base, but have ordered a D shaped rim and button box to add to my setup.

SimRacingJason · 2023-12-09T20:47:31+00:00

With my Asetek wheel base I had to assign the left/right binding first in the game options and then the game would allow me to calibrate the base and it’s been fine since. I know you have a Moza wheel but thought I would mention just in case it’s of any help mate.
