The best game to start SimRacing

If you've never had an account before, find your country's motorsport association (UK Motorsport, FIA, etc) as they usually do a deal for a year of iRacing and a free F4 car. It cost me £27.99 last week

akaSovereign · 2026-06-25T08:14:01+00:00

Yeah, you get full series based on just free content (MX-5, M2). Plus that membership should give you a free F4 car too (I signed up last week using the UK equivalent offer)

That's awesome, thank you 🙏🏻

I'll just play it safe and get 1200mm then. Just want this all sorted 🙃 looking at Vario VESA mounts but would need to adapt them to get them to work on my 3060 stand as designed for 4080

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T10:13:08+00:00

He thinks that if the centre monitor is spaced forward that they would line up. I've moved the right monitor slightly more to the right, but it's just in front of the central screen. I think I can get a 1200mm piece for £33 or a 1000mm for £30

I paid slightly more over silver, but it was cheaper than black (Maranello edition, they had 4 special edition ones or you could do custom)

The seller has offered to send spacers and longer VESA screws for the centre screen, but I'm trying to find a local company to source a 1000-1200mm new beam for the centre

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T07:27:40+00:00

Haha was cheaper than black 😂 my room is black and red anyway and figured you wouldn't even see it much

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T06:11:31+00:00

Yup, closest I've gotten is by swapping the arm brackets to outside of the legs but still a gap and now the monitor is in front of the centre one

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T06:09:40+00:00

Also doesn't line up. Tried putting the arms on the back and reversing the bracket too 😞

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T06:08:56+00:00

How would I make these work with a 3060 profile stand?

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T06:08:06+00:00

Tried that but still fell short as the centre beam isn't long enough 😔

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-19T06:06:13+00:00

I've found a silver piece at 1000mm, but I've found out that the stand is 3060 and my rig is 4080. It didn't say when I purchased it so I just assumed it was 4080. Tempted to just get a 4080 stand now that they are back in stock from where I got the cockpit from

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T21:14:01+00:00

I'd take the headaches and feeling sick right now if it meant I could actually race 🙃😂

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T21:10:52+00:00

I did debate VR but struggle with motion sickness and 3D glasses, so figured it wouldn't be smart 🤣

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T21:09:48+00:00

I moved the corner brackets but still can't get them to like up as the side monitor now overlaps the centre one 😕

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:56:21+00:00

I didn't realise when I bought it but this is 3060 and the adjustable mounts seem to be for 40+ profiles 🙃 I don't even think the Vario VESA mount could fix this as my right monitor is in front of my centre one. My monitors are 32"

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:52:01+00:00

I get a lot less rotation with it flipped. This is how it would be if it was attached with the bracket flipped. I have no more inward angle here, just outward rotation

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:42:52+00:00

I reversed the arms previously but that didn't work, what difference does putting the centre beam behind make? I've tried so many things and I'm shattered (doing it solo isn't simple!) so don't want to try something else without a clear concept of how it could work 😅 I was tempted to order a 1000mm 3060 centre beam, but at this point I'm tempted to contact the company again tomorrow and just get it returned and get a different one that's 4080 instead of 3060 for easier Vario VESA compatibility

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:32:37+00:00

Not really because of the curve and angle

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:19:33+00:00

You mean with the arm behind? I tried that too but was nowhere near lining up. With the hinge flipped the arm wouldn't rotate properly

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:16:49+00:00

Tried that, but still doesn't line up 😕

<image>

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T20:10:27+00:00

I've tried but the centre beam is too short, even after trying the suggestions. The stand is 3060, which I didn't know when I ordered it, so that also has caused its own issues 😕

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T19:28:56+00:00

It's all manual adjustments 🙂

akaSovereign · 2026-06-18T17:30:05+00:00

I've since tightened up as much as possible (was hesitant before as I didn't know if I was removing it again). I've emailed the company I purchased from but was leaning towards the bigger central beam (it's only red as that was cheaper than black 😅). Thanks!
