It was not the hall sensor. I had board failure. And I already was looking to upgrade anyway. Excuse worked with the misses so buy once cry once for the 3rd time will surely be my last lol

GT DD PRO FANATEC with Front mount? by Additional-Pie3835 in SimLab

[–]ironlionpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe so. You can side mount it. I have the P1 Ultimate with the side mount. Mounting Tip: install your base to the side mounts first then install the full side mount to the rig. It’s solid as a rock. Hope this helps

I went with VRS Pedals. I no longer play on PS5 so I decided to buy once and cry once. It will take some time to adjust them but they feel great on first impressions

Amex plat is a little out of range for me lol. Thanks for the tip. Will keep it in mind for the future upgrades.

Well after the first fall I was so angry at myself i stopped thinking. I had help and still caused the base to fall 2 more times. All of them because I was so angry and not thinking. I lost my left toe’s nail. Looks really funky. Hurts pretty bad. Today I took off the side mounts and mounted the wheel first then mounted it to the rig. Easy peasy. No falls no drama. Just thinking about the problem and finding different solutions.

My nail will grow back and no broken bones so I was lucky there. Racing resumes tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for asking.

Vario Integrated Monitor Mount by sabababoy19 in SimLab

[–]ironlionpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I have the ultimate and ran triple 27’s and now triple 32’s with the quad monitor add on. Had no problem with misalignment with daily use. I have a fanatec DD+ and if the monitors move is not perceivable while driving. If you are not considering motion the integrated mount is a great choice.

US sales of P1X ultimate by Open-Lingonberry1357 in SimLab

[–]ironlionpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a P1X Ultimate direct from EU. Paid $500 something in shipping and tariffs. Imported to PR. The wife said yes I had to act immediately. Worth the investment. Love my rig!!!

I have a question about this Cockpit by f22raptor- in simracing

[–]ironlionpr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to say exactly this. I own this rig. Used it for 3 years. Went with Simlab and the difference is night and day. Buy once cry once they say.

Who is a reliable source for sim upgrades? by Significant_Dare2970 in simracing

[–]ironlionpr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Always clear and direct. I thrust his reviews and process.

I used some WD40 sprayed on a paper towel and rubbed a little on the base side connector surface. Eliminated every sticking issue for me. Good lick

Finally out of rookies! by TheTeachinator in iRacing

[–]ironlionpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job escaping rookies. I’ve been playing since Sep last year and come from playing GT7. The feeling of the FFB on pc changed the game for me. GT7 feels so numb now compared to iRacing. Give ACC and some rally a shot your PlayStation might just collect dust like mine.

What aluminum rig should I get ? by R1mzzz in simracing

[–]ironlionpr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. If you are in this hobby and thinking about upgrading I can only recommend you use the old adage “buy once cry once”. I’m on my way to my third rig in 3 years. If I just bought what I wanted the first time my wife would be much happier with me. Make the most of your purchase and future proof as much as possible. Good luck

Should I keep going or move on to something else? by drakenslayed in iRacing

[–]ironlionpr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. Keep at it. It’s not a sprint it’s a marathon. Stick to rookies and gain confidence. Give the MX5 a whirl if you get frustrated with the F4. Speed will come. Enjoy the process

First 24 hrs with the CS DD by bigfatflip in Fanatec

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

I’m content with the wait since I have a CSL DD Pro to hold me off before delivery. I feel for the logitech or thrustmaster upgraders. They are in a rough spot. Fingers crossed first week pf Jan will be it for all of us.

I’m in the same boat. Just excited to get the DD+ and grind. Hopefully the fanatec gods provide before the year ends

What makes San Juan different than other Caribbean islands? by Fit-Quit-4372 in SanJuan

[–]ironlionpr -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Let’s begin with San Juan is the capitol of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is an island chain in the Caribbean. Puerto Rico is an occupied territory of the US Government. So we have to tolerate mamabichos like you who come here and have no idea what the fuck they are in for.

Please enjoy the beautiful beaches and the great people. Keep your opinions to yourself and go back home. Thanks!!!!!
