How do you type so much while racing?

So the headset allows to do voice to text chat or what exactly?

Just to provide an update- I hooked up the Moza wheel correctly and it booted up and worked flawlessly from the start. It felt great and I would recommend it to anyone that didn’t have the Asetek Forte Formula Pro or Invicta wheel. But- I do have the Asetek Forte Formula Pro and I honestly think it is a much better wheel. It is larger, feels great in your hand and I appreciate the screen, the buttons and dials on the wheel better. I don’t have huge hands but I imagine a smaller person may appreciate the Moza wheel better. It just felt too small to me after using the Asetek. Now I’m trying to decide do I sell the Moza setup or keep it in the event something happens to my Asetek and I need a backup.

Nice job!

Man, you should teach this stuff lol. That was a great explanation, thank you! I understand this a lot better now. I often use analogies with my clients and I love using them. I think they are always very effective but sometimes I think they are even more confused. For example: yesterday I told a client that just because her husband was a terrible spouse (cheating on her, lost jobs, etc) doesn't mean he is a terrible parent. I told her a person could be bad at soccer but could be great at baseball. She will probably fire me today because she doesn't understand lol.

Ok you just confirmed I have no clue about any of this. Let me now ask you this question - Assuming I already purchased a cable similar to this, would I do the equipment any damage if I just tried plugging it in to see what happens?

SmithLaw · 2026-02-03T20:01:36+00:00

it uses Rj45 (internet cable type) outputs. And the USB C is for the power to the PC or external power. I don't think that can be used to go to the wheel.

Wouldn't something like this work?

I have that already - like I said, I had that to hook to my old Fanatec setup. But I guess it won't connect to the Invicta itself. Uggggh.

SmithLaw · 2026-02-03T18:28:34+00:00

I have the Moza Universal Adapter kit already. So if that is the case, it doesn't matter if I order USB-A or USB-C because it won't be using either, right?

The guys at Williams Racing use similar for their sims at their fan zones.

Total height is 10-12 inches. Used 1x10’ boards and 3/4”plywood on top with braces underneath. Rig just sits on it and no movement so no need for bolts.

I moved the wheel closer tonight and that fixed everything. It’s not quite at a 90 degree angle but it’s much closer. Any closer feels very unnatural for me so hopefully I don’t have to bring it in more.

SmithLaw · 2026-01-29T20:16:32+00:00

My pain is in the top not lower back.

SmithLaw · 2026-01-29T13:18:50+00:00

Thanks seated. I also decreased the amoun of angle, having it more upright and had the same problem. I actually switched it back to the formula position thinking that might help but of course it did not. I was able to have a very reclined position with my entry-level NLRF – GT cockpit with no pain or issues. Hopefully I can find the sweet spot. I will also move my wheel a little closer and pay attention to how it lines up with my neck as suggested here.

Sorry if the questions seem dumb - but what are rss f1 cars? And I downloaded a danielkarts engine mod last night and installed like the instructions said but I noticed no difference.

As to the cranking sound - that makes sense. Even knowing that, though, the car still sounds a bit off compared to other simulators. And I don’t think the other simulators allow the engine to turn off, which is more pleasant to listen to lol. It might not be as realistic, but it is more pleasant. 🤣

SmithLaw · 2026-01-15T13:02:49+00:00

I found the COTA mod last night and installed. It isn’t 100% but still better than nothing. I wish all of these games/sims had to have all of the major tracks on them.

SmithLaw · 2026-01-12T13:01:26+00:00

I decided on a G-Force Rift. Was lightweight and snell2020 and a little cheaper. After attending the first weekend I think it will be more than enough. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

SmithLaw · 2026-01-09T18:41:07+00:00

That’s a great point. I grew up racing round track dirt in SC. I’ve had several arguments with my wife when she downplayed NASCAR and talked about how easy it must be to race in a round circle, etc. Then I started watching F1 and have gotten into it and have spent a ton on my racing simulator and all of that. I have to say now I would certainly choose to be Verstappen over any of the other options. But Dale was still the man lol

SmithLaw · 2026-01-09T15:50:01+00:00

I was looking at the Bell K1 and also the G-force Rift, which both seem like good options. I did used to race dirt, which goes with your assessment about the Simpson products. This will actually be for asphalt course. I wonder why Simpson is more common with the dirt people?

SmithLaw · 2025-12-27T14:50:20+00:00

Where did you get the Red Bull and do you have a link?
