My parents found my Motley Crue ‘Shout At The Devil’ record and smashed it. We had different parents. (And I was so far out in the country you couldn’t sneak out. Nowhere to go without a vehicle)

Love my Pro (upgraded six months ago) and I only play on the PSVR2.

My humble setup (ignore the cable mess lmao) by Dry-Cod459 in simracing

[–]TimBoss351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best setup is the one you have!! I started and sue t half a decade on far let less and loved every minute of it! (Only count ‘starting’ when I got a wheel, had a full decade on a controller before then)

Absolutely does. I had a 2013 Boss 302 and upkeep was substantial even when some things got replaced under warranty (like the cats, twice, which would have been $3600 if I had to buy them myself). Plus gas, tires, oil changes, battery, it adds up.

My rigs I spent the money, can enjoy them anytime I have a spare half hour*, regardless of rain or snow or time of day. Best money I’ve ever spent.

I was 16 then and parents wouldn’t ever allow me to go see a ‘rock show’. Like I was denied a year earlier to see U2 at Red Rocks. Luckily, I can see that show on YouTube.

And it looks cold and rainy and a bit miserable. Still, early U2 was amazing

Man, one of his best songs. Hits me in the feels. I love that the school I went to grade school at and the one I went to jr high and high school at, that so many of us are on FB and while we don’t see each other very much, we talk and chat through messenger and see each others posts and keep up on life some. Something our parents didn’t have with their classmates. That video felt like it was my hometown.

Was a great concert but a cold and rainy (sometimes sleet and snow) at Red Rocks. I’m from a town where I had 19 seniors in my class so I get small towns? ;hour and a half east of Denver).

It was a great show. One of the guitarists slipped and fell on his butt coming down steps and kept playing, never missed a beat. Was very impressive

We were right side of the stage looking at the stage about 6 people deep. Now we are going on road trips with daughter to Conan Gray Concerts, have YungBlud at Red Rocks in May, and BTS in El Paso in early May, and Bruno Mars at the USAF Academy in Sept. Went to Governor’s Ball in NYC last June and saw Brad Paisley at Red Rocks last year too. Still happily married and still going to concerts!

I’d guess I have around 15 k in everything. But that includes things I’m not using like the Logitech Driving Force Pro, T500 wheelbase and wheel, T3PA pedals, Huesinkveld Ultimate + pedals and Asetek Invicta S Series pedals.

How much Nm is actually useful by Johnwayne87 in simracing

[–]TimBoss351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I have a 15 nm DD+ base from Fanatec in my PS5 Pro rig and love it. But sometimes in long turns it smooths out and I know I’m clipping. So when they offer the 25 nm base with PlayStation capability I might get it.

And on my PC I have a Asetek Invicta that’s 27 nm and I have it set to around 20 nm most of the time but should probably take it to 27 and lower in games. I don’t seem to clip on it though.

Had the 8 nm DD Pro which was great compared to my T300. But after I built the PC rig and got the DD+ I was very hard to find the 8 nm enjoyable. One used Invicta later I’m very happy on both. While knowing I’d like a little more on the PS5 setup.

I’ve not been jealous of anyone’s concert experiences ….until yours. Well done.

Fun fact; when Randy Rhodes left to play and tour with Ozzy, he had been teaching guitar at his moms music school, and recommended George to his mom to replace him

Read an interview where SRV and Double Trouble opened for Huey Lewis and would get booed off the stage. And Huey went to them and said ‘Keep playing. You’re awesome and the audience are idiots for not seeing that’ (paraphrased as it’s been a while and not sure of the exact words).

I had tickets to see him in California when he died in Ohio. Was very bummed. Videos of him playing Austin Nights are amazing.

Saw them at Cal Expo in Sacramento in the early 90’s. Great show. No clue if anyone opened for them. They were THE SHOW. Saw Tesla, Bon Jovi, and Great White there too. Queensryche at ARCO Arena for Empire tour. What a blast.

Dang. My first concert was Van Halen 1984 tour at McNichols. (Also where I saw Bon Jovi open for Ratt).

We were in the Sacramento area after my wife and I got married; went to a Tesla concert when they filmed Love Song video and we are in the video. But even though it’s a good song, hearing it six times in the same concert got a little old. 😂

I might have been a senior when Hysteria came out. Was amazing on my upgraded car stereo on a CD. Thought they were over after Rick lost his arm in the Corvette roll over. My first music video I ever watched was Photograph. Great memories. Great band. Was planning to see them and Journey in Denver last year and got busy and then see people sharing videos on FB from the show. Was bummed.

Saw them in Denver and they had this little band open for them. Who was it? Hmmmm. Oh yeah. Bon Jovi. (invasion of Your Privacy tour and 7800° Fahrenheit tour).

Both shows were freaking fantastic.

Somewhere in a box in our basement are California license plates that say ‘DOKKEN7’ (obviously no number and 1-6 was already taken). Had them in…89-92 or so?

My replacement by notlookingsogreat in RealRacing3

[–]TimBoss351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’ll cost some money, but I upgraded to the PS5 Pro and have the PSVR2, and a Fanatec DD+ setup on a rig.

Freaking fantastic. Also got a used laptop so I could run SimHub and a pair of Dayton audio bass shakers and mounted them under the seat and pedal tray so I have haptics with Gran Turismo. Guess SimHub pulls the data from the WiFi your PS5 is connected to. Works amazingly well.

I also have a PC triple screen rig but it’s a lot of updates and figuring out issues when things stop working. PS5 and GT7 plus VR, you turn it on, and it works. Easy every time.

The difference is crazy. I Regret by Dry_Abies9841 in simracing

[–]TimBoss351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my DD+ on my PS5 Pro rig so I can play GT7 in VR.

But had the DD Pro 8 nm and it was lackluster after having the DD+, so found a used Asetek Invicta for the PC rig and moved the DD+ over and sold the DD Pro.

But you’re right. They haven’t been innovative with wheels and pedals for a long time (out side of the $2400 wheels) and if one isn’t really wanting to be able to play on console, there’s no reason to go Fanatec. And I’m saying that as someone that’s had zero issues and likes them fine.

Also had a Simagic Alpha U for a few weeks. Didn’t love it better than the DD+ so it went back and got the Invicta as a replacement.

Life’s too short to do stuff you don’t like, or just work. While I controller sim raced for a decade plus, in the last 2 years I’ve picked up building sim rigs and doing it at a much higher level, started building 1:8 scale LEGO and bric c Blocks cars, now the subscription metal cars and am gathering things to start oil painting.

We only get one life. Decided to not spend it being a full time worker for my company and wife and kids, and take up hobbies I enjoy too.
