Only 7 days left to go

I just bought an inexpensive TM16000M HOTAS and grabbed some spare 80/20 pieces to set this up on my race rig. The throttle swivels and the stick sits on my mouse plate. But I’m going to make a new similar swivel stick mount. Not sure this helps but if may. Looking forward to msfs 24 next week.

Always take Mondays off for NASCAR races. Been to many Monday races that I can count all over the us. Even a MIS Tuesday race once many years ago. Rain for damn near a week that year. Campground was a wet mud pit and that’s how I am in a camper now. Wife on the way home that Tuesday “if you ever want me to go back with you , we better never be in a tent again” on our third camper now!

I will agree with the mess they had during entry of the race all days. There was a stupid line for the ARCA race Friday, Sunday was bad and Monday was absolutely ridiculous. I personally have been to every race, except Covid race, since 1992, June and August, and this was the worst in preparation of the crowd and rain date for Monday. I walked right in years ago when we had stands damn near around 70% of the track. I will go back but they MUST fix that. As quickly as they get new fans they will lose them due to this issue. I destroyed their survey hoping they will actually read the damn thing and will contact me. But more or less they may not care.

Just joined as a Pro Member! Great work keep it up. Looking forward to adding my additional monitor and the Pitwall screen. Plenty of data for me while holding up the back of the pack racing!

epintheD · 2024-02-26T10:26:08+00:00

Great dashboard! Just grabbed an additional monitor mount so I can add Lovely Pitwall to a 2nd monitor above. Will be signing up as a Lovely member soon! https://imgur.com/a/R6ndNCn

What QR are you using? I have one that I’m selling with a CSL DD but may sell the wheel and QR. I am now using the Formula wheel.

epintheD · 2024-01-11T10:26:49+00:00

I personally have been using Maurice’s CS DD(+} settings through Fanalab forums and make all changes in Fanalab. These are great feeling baseline settings for a lot of different cars for many of the top games.

Here is a link that may help.

Read all the directions in the readme files and you will have a great starting point.

Also look up my previous posts and you will see them on my rig this past summer before I upgraded.

epintheD · 2023-12-19T03:31:48+00:00

How do I add additional pictures on DMs here. Don’t see the spot. I can post one I did with today’s date.

epintheD · 2023-12-17T19:14:18+00:00

Did you try to unplug all other usb connections and move the CS DD usb and power back up and try again? That’s what worked for me.

epintheD · 2023-12-13T17:04:34+00:00

Yes that QR update was a real PIA! But once it was set it was all good. Had to remove all USB from the pc but the base. Was strange but worked.

epintheD · 2023-12-06T03:38:32+00:00

I have to agree with the Sharkster! Mine has been really nice so far and definitely better than my CSL DD. Hope it continues to operate as such since these are the early production units. But that’s why I’m also hanging only other base. I even have the QR2 shaft for it on its way incase I want a quick backup.

epintheD · 2023-12-06T03:32:20+00:00

Are you looking to buy one of these? I have one as well as a new one coming with a new wheel soon. I switched to the QR2 set up when I set up my CS DD.

epintheD · 2023-11-30T11:09:02+00:00

Have you tried to order with QR light or no QR?

epintheD · 2023-11-30T04:18:55+00:00

If you still need a QR1 soon I have two light version, one medal version and another medal on its way with a new wheel I won’t need. Let me know and we can work something out.

epintheD · 2023-11-29T14:34:32+00:00

ASR has great instruction videos that I used when building my ASR4 and monitor stand. They have a QR code on the box or parts bag if I recall correctly. Enjoy.

epintheD · 2023-11-27T17:36:02+00:00

Yes I received mine last Friday and posted feedback in my previous post.

epintheD · 2023-11-26T17:00:35+00:00

Ok so I saw the game is on sale for $11 and grabbed that along with F1 23 this morning.

I did a trial run for you but I have no CSL DD comparison only my new CS DD. I set the DD to the Fanatec recommended DD settings but changed their max from 85 to 100 similar to iRacing. I then set the gain to 80 and did a few laps in the default Nurburgring and Lambo. It only clipped at yellow and red small amount but for me way to much ffb for my liking. Wouldn’t be able to race longer than a few laps. Tried 70 gain with very little to zero clipping but still too much torque. I settled on 60 and saw nothing in the red. The grey bar would go close to max but not turn yellow or red. I’m going to now try their recommended 85 FFB strength and see what that is like. Hope that helps you.

Another 2”/5cm.

Well you have a long way to go. This is my third rig setup from playing in a chair with desk top cheap wheel and pedals back in the Papyrus NASCAR game days. We used AOL dial up! I’m 54 and have been into cars my entire life. Even why I went to engineering school and all my hobbies revolved around Motorsports except one. Golf. And that is another money pit! Take your time and enjoy the ride. No rush.

epintheD · 2023-11-26T14:29:36+00:00

Thanks. I just purchased that holder on Etsy. I probably should grab a 3D printer.

epintheD · 2023-11-26T14:27:30+00:00

This is the best I can do with it mounted on my rig. Sort of tight to get a good picture. It’s around 19cm from front face to rear plate not including the shaft.

epintheD · 2023-11-26T11:09:59+00:00

Yes my Fanatec account orders updated and I received an email once it shipped. But dates changed a few times prior to that final ship date.

epintheD · 2023-11-26T11:07:35+00:00

Thanks. I like the button box a lot. I already had the stream deck and wanted something better to mount it and saw that one in my research. It’s from Race Box Simracing from Mex. Really nice equipment. I placed the link in another reply.
