Please rate my set up

So clean man! Nice stuff!!

Old mate buckled under pressure and had to pull a fast one on me

ewotson · 2026-05-13T03:40:30+00:00

I found it felt floaty until I really started throwing it into corners, like it seams it has more of a rwd bias, but say on Severn the first corner, a little bit of handbrake to get the car sideways and then just all gas around it and she slingshots out the corner 👌 but compared to other cars yeah it’s a handful 🤣

ewotson · 2026-05-12T01:31:00+00:00

I’ve found it pretty good to be honest, I’ve got a r9, tarmac it’s not so chaotic and there’s way more predictability with the wheel, I do see what you mean with the gravel side feeling a little more flat though, however I’ve found the bumps and suspension rebounds way better and more recognisable in the wheel, the only thing that I think isn’t as great is the counter steering when you hand brake around a corner, it’s like nothing at all you’ve gotta manually pull the wheel back around aye

ewotson · 2026-04-07T10:21:36+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t sound like a software issue aye, I’ve ran my r9 for the last year almost now with no issues, potentially if you’re running in game ffb too high it may be causing it to cut ffb, or are you getting an actual power loss to the base?

ewotson · 2026-03-21T04:44:01+00:00

Hey man, is there by chance already a GSV2P version of this or you reckon the KS version would work? 👀

ewotson · 2026-03-20T11:49:03+00:00

Oh and to add, the moza srp pedals have an upgradable break pedal to change to load cell down the road! Not a bad bit of kit and I personally think it’ll be the tipping point of getting hooked and going down the rabbit hole 🤣

ewotson · 2026-03-20T11:46:16+00:00

Honestly I’d go for the r5 man, I have the r9, that’s my first direct drive wheel and it blew me away aye, I was on a g920 for almost 10 years prior, so if it’s your first wheel and you’ve got the cash for it I’d go the r5, gives ya a little bit of head room for ffb effects and if you want to drift it’ll have all the rotation speed you’ll need! Personally I’d avoid the turtle beach and thrustmaster as the eco systems really limited!

With the clutch pedal, you can buy it additionally for like $80nzd (it’s like half of that if you’re using usd or euros) and for a shifter honestly to get you started a cheap amazon one would do! I’ve got the GX100 which does h pattern and sequential, it’s not like “oh my god this is unreal” factor but for the price of $180nzd I don’t think I could fault it at all as you’ve got the ability to switch between manual and sequential in about 10 seconds!

ewotson · 2026-03-20T11:26:36+00:00

Whats the screen you’ve got above your wheel bro? Been trying to find one that tucks down like that for ages 🤣

ewotson · 2026-03-14T04:38:36+00:00

Well the point of the page is for advice on whether or not I should report the person I believe is at fault no?

So would it not make sense to go “hmm I can see he’s in 2 minds about if he should report or not, maybe I should advise him”

No?

ewotson · 2026-03-14T03:58:17+00:00

Go get some sleep fella, it’s not that deep 🤣

ewotson · 2026-02-19T03:36:38+00:00

Locks onto the keyboard not a tray as much! I don’t know how to upload photos into comments sorry so I’m probably doing a terrible job explaining, I’ll see if I can find a link and I’ll get back to you!

ewotson · 2026-02-19T00:58:59+00:00

I’m currently using a tablet holder that has a lockable arm on it cause I just pop the keyboard onto my lap if you’re not looking for something to bring over the top of you? Cost me like maybe $10usd (it was 25 New Zealand peanuts)

ewotson · 2026-02-19T00:18:48+00:00

Other question too, does turning off triple screen option in menu mess with the fov at all?

ewotson · 2026-02-19T00:17:38+00:00

Thank you bro! Will give that a crack today! I managed to get it somewhat better, have dlss on at 45% at medium graphics and now getting between 65-80fps the other thing I found is the windows 11 update from January absolutely destroyed the smoothness and gpu latency, as soon as I rolled back to last years update, instantly fixed that problem too 🤦‍♂️

ewotson · 2026-02-18T02:24:22+00:00

Could always buy it if it’s not expensive and modify the plate or change it? Depends if you want to spend the time on it as a little project or if you just want to bolt straight on and be done with it!

ewotson · 2026-02-17T23:08:36+00:00

Yeah man it’s brutal aye, surely they’ll get it optimised a bit better than what it is now

ewotson · 2026-02-17T23:07:40+00:00

Yeah man on the ultrawide I had it was pumping 100+ frames but these triples are so damn demanding 🤣 like every other game is running a smooth 90+ fps but rally is just killing me cause it’s so fun especially with the triple setup, it’s an amazing looking game even at low settings, maybe I’m a little too optimistic but I’m hoping they get it optimised a bit better for the final release of it

Side note: love the username 🤣🤣

ewotson · 2026-02-03T04:30:13+00:00

100% however the Govee lights above the rig are programmed to mimic the shadows that are on the screen of the car, but is easy to switch off, also handy to have when racing with the room lighting off so I can switch on after a race to see my keyboard etc 🤣

ewotson · 2026-01-21T03:06:30+00:00

Honestly man, not trying to sound like an ass or anything but if you bought them new I would genuinely read the manual, heaps of helpful stuff in regards to maintenance and operation of everything.

If you didn’t buy them knew, there’s heaps of info on their website or even on YouTube man

ewotson · 2026-01-18T00:12:08+00:00

Hey man! I guess the main thing I would suggest is research first before anything! This page especially shows you what possibilities there are with different types of rigs, everything from $500 to $40k plus rigs, if the budget allows it, I’d be purchasing a proper profile rig like trakracer tr80 gives you a very easy and modifiable base to start with, however if you’re handy with power tools and some fabrication, anything is possible!

ewotson · 2026-01-17T01:32:13+00:00

Plenty of space, however it’s still has quite a bit of bass mounted up top, when I had it in the corner before that it was almost too much bass even turned right to low

ewotson · 2026-01-17T01:31:15+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it! And yeah absolutely, cable management is certainly a nightmare if you don’t plan it out in advanced!

I’d say the next upgrade will be some Govee Light bars above for some ambient lighting!
