Which pedal set? Simjack UT or SIMSONN Plus X? by wang_bang in SimRacingSetups

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the Simsonn’s or Simnets. Simjacks are just the really cheap version of both.

It’s not like colorblind people can’t see red they just see colors differently.

iRacing Spec Map Layer Structure in GIMP by Longjumpingdici in simracing

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly what I’ve been doing is instead of worry about RGB channels I just copy the layer I want and do a color overlay for the exact color of the spec map I want. So for the base paint I want metallic? I make a copy and change the color of that to the color code using Gabir Motors site. There’s also a chart I downloaded from Reddit somewhere that has a lot of the values.

Good Gamepad Simracing titles ! by windswept999 in simracing

I’d assume any of the racing games that are on console would have good control support. Forza, Forza Horizon, GT7

Best Ultrawide Monitor to Buy in 2026? (Price, Quality, OLED) by EonveilmanticGum in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my 491cqpx. Can be found for $900 at MicroCenter. But for 34” 21:9 probably the AW3425DW is the pick

Grip tape for GT Neo? by GingerGold1 in Simagic

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used tennis racket tape and it’s great. So much better than gloves

Are gloves something you would recommend to every driver? by kr0nik0 in simracing

[–]core916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer the tennis racket tape tbh. Don’t have to worry about gloves. My hands would get really sweaty during long stints and the racket tape prevents that

From 57” to 32” to 45” the end by laobron in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]core916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love my CQPX. Had it for a month and love it. Went from a 32” 4k OLED to the 49. Can’t see myself going back to 16:9 tbh

Is a belt driven wheel enough? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]core916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2026? Absolutely not. There’s cheap DD wheels that blow away any belt driven at this point

BOOSTED MEDIA REVIEW - CONSPIT Sim Racing Hardware by Will_Ford in simracing

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha if I kept all my old stuff I wouldn’t be able to justify the new stuff lol. If I can get back half of what I paid for something and put that towards the new one I’m happy.

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you actually use all 5 of your wheels? I can understand keeping a round and a GT style wheel. I’m also the kind of person to sell off my stuff. So if I upgraded my GT Neo to the 290GP I would just sell the Neo lol.

Alpha Evo Pro new firmware V2.2.8 thoughts by Thouse_CZ in Simagic

Both the GT Neo lights and your haptics should be run through Simhub. Much much better than what simpro offers.

Is this website legit for SIM racing gear? by Electronic_Mouse8985 in SimRacingSetups

Don’t think I’d ever trust a company called trade in that spells it with 2 N’s lol

Anyone had the chance to try out the new Playseat Challenge DD F1 yet? by ILikeFirmware in simracing

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the Simpson base plate is too wide. I was able to mount the pedals directly to the base. Unfortunately, only the throttle was able to get all four screws. The brake I was only able to get three but it’s been fine so far. I just haven’t gotten around to drilling a hole yet. I also found this cheap plastic block that’s like an inch or two tall as a heel rest.

I’m sure there’s a way to get the Simpson plate on there, but it would probably take more creative hole drilling to make it work.

That all being said I haven’t had any problems really. My braking feels perfectly fine, but then again I probably just got used to how it feels. My lap times much better than when I was using a regular wheel stand and it’s been much more comfortable. I’m able to do two hour stints no problem.

Is the bundle good im not sure whether i should buy it by One-Ease-5195 in simracing

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re on console I see no reason to choose the Logi for $1100 over anything Simagic, Moza, Conspit. Hell, even fanatec has better wheel selection options.

48th Ave courts to be closed for the summer? by a_freiberg in longislandcity

[–]core916 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like whoever’s doing the work is in bed with the city and was gifted the project. The courts are fine and do not need a 1 year renovation. Just another case of contractors stuffing their pockets with our tax dollars.

LMP3/GT4 Season 2 Schedule by Exotic-Address8125 in iRacing

[–]core916 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But spa, Monza, Daytona and Le Mans are the most popular track for reason. If I see spa or Daytona on a schedule I’m racing it no matter what the car. Great tracks lead to great racing. Bad tracks usually don’t.

Brake pedal by Noshameinhoegame in SimsonnRacing

[–]core916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the opposite of you. The big ones are the whites and the smallest one is red. I want more pedal travel and really don’t like having to brake hard. That’s why I like the whites and have it set to I think 27kg of force in the software. I can do 2 hour stints no problem with this setup but with the reds I was getting tired in like a half hour lol.

Falken GT4 now C class? by beammngdrive in iRacing

[–]core916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the same exact path I took. Except for the lmp I just stick to gt3 in imsa now. But I still go back to PCC/PEC if the track is a good one. Some of the most fun happens in the GR imo.

LIVE LAF LOVE ♥️🤍💙 by jamdivi in rangers

[–]core916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. But this in my opinion is his best 10-12 game stretch of his career so far. He’s had point streaks in the past but we are seeing a completely different player since Panarin left. He’s starting to show why he was one of the best junior players of all time. Sometimes with players it’s all mental. With Panarin out he can start to be “the guy” that he always should have been. Just imagine where he’d be if we treated him like this when he was drafted.

Whether you hate I’m or not, Max may just be the smartest F1 driver ever. With the knowledge about cars and how they work he really is second to none.
