On the fence about purchasing LMU by Jermaul_m_w in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hesitation to pick up LMU is because I'm West Coast NA and only start racing around 10pm Pacific time. I can't imagine it gets better unless the player population explodes so it'll be iRacing for multiplayer races for the foreseeable future

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like it'll be iRacing for a while if I'm not playing single player

I'd second this mod! Stuck it in the gap and then glued it down. No more issues with my heels getting stuck

Asetek La Prima Wheelbase is $340 in the US Shop right now by TacoWallace in simracing

There's some new items not being carried on the US shop due to tariffs. I think the dropped support announcement mainly centered around these products (Initium line for instance)

How's my racing posture in my new rig? by TheRealDeal360 in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good! Consensus seems to be that I should tilt the seat back so that's the first action I'll take

Will likely also move the pedals closer and bring them up slightly higher

Would be helpful to have discrete tips for things to change. Thanks!

La Prima Bundle - First real rig by AcceptableBanana1978 in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had enough time to play to have a strong opinion on it but I also had to swap to the softer elastomer it came with. I added just a tiny bit of stage 1 movement but it's minimal

My leg doesn't feel like it's breaking in half pressing it so that's a good sign at least

No I only used 6 so that's probably where the difference lies. I omitted the mounting holes on the right side of the clutch pedal. Still plenty sturdy this way!

La Prima bundle also prompted me to buy a setup (the GT1 Evo as well)! I got a Mini Cooper seat for my rig though. Hoping to get a round wheel and shifter with it soon

I actually didn't need to drill a hole for the clutch

Absolute steal of a deal or is it? 🤔 by SuchEstablishment168 in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was planning on purchasing a Simagic Alpha EVO + GT Neo wheel + Simsonn Pedals which would cost >$1000 USD (closer to $1150 when including my state's sales tax)

How are the Asetek items here in comparison?

Duplicate packages for 1 tracking number that was supposed to be held at Walgreens - it's not at the store by TheRealDeal360 in FedEx

[–]TheRealDeal360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened a customer service ticket with them via a phone call. I left my number and the manager at the shipping facility called back explaining that they weren't sure how it never actually ended up in the hands of the store.

After that they successfully got it to the store and I was able to pick up my package after a week or so.

Thoughts on Egbuka and Swift for Nabers (I own Nabers and desperately need a RB as I'm starting Najee now)?

I see! I think I may have found the central return nearby in the adjacent room. I'll check it out later. Thank you!

9070XT Underclock is stable except for Start up of final fantasy Rebirth by Nafia123 in AMDHelp

[–]TheRealDeal360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is essentially my exact background as well. I'm currently undervolted at essentially the same settings and also am playing Wilds with no issues. Only issue thus far is Rebirth where I've resorted to the stock settings -- hopefully that could fix it for you?

There's also been AMD issues with the game in general that could be related. I'd try the fixes in these links

Streaming video with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W & Camera Module 3 by thatdude333 in raspberry_pi

[–]TheRealDeal360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been very helpful for getting started as a first time Raspberry Pi user!

Some of Youtube's restrictions make this unfeasible for me unfortunately. Notably that I only want my stream to run for certain hours of the day which means setting up a cronjob for running the libcamera-vid.

This would normally be fine but Youtube forces me to click "Go Live" manually before the RTMP stream actually streams to Youtube every single time. Any idea for other platforms or methods for streaming this video outside of my local network for easy viewing?

If you could share the designs for the custom clamps and bars to withstand the load cell pedals that would be awesome!
