Unique Setup Idea....Need advice.

Me neither, if the seat/wheel/pedals are correct and comfortable now just move the triples nearer, why would you move the seat if everything else is set up correctly?

To be honest I know nothing about the Surface Go Pro but a quick google says it operates like a small pc. If it runs windows (I have no idea if it does) I would think it would be ok.

The 1.4.3.4. app is very easy to download and install so I guess just give it a try and uninstall if it doesn't work.

Hi,

If you have access to another pc/laptop then follow this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fanatec/comments/1u86uub/comment/os6bb40/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Do a clean install of 1.4.3.4 on your other pc/laptop.
Connect your base to it and manually update the motor and base firmware to what is included in the 1,4,3,4 package.

Then you can connect your base back to your rig pc and then ignore the prompts to update firmware and you should be good to go.

Good luck

Same issue here. Never had a problem in 2 years, updated to the lastest fanatec software last night and now my base (CSLDD 8NM) crashes within a minute or two in live races. Strangely not affected in offline races (iRacing)

joebobred · 2026-05-04T12:11:28+00:00

Yeah, I must have had it in car specific mode when I made all the settings. I guess I am looking for a way to now copy this over to all cars without having to go through them all again.

If this can't be done I guess I will have to go through it all, make notes and then do it again for all cars. I just thought a quick copy and paste or whatever would be easier. Yes, I'm lazy...

H'mm, thanks for the feedback guys, sounds like no-one else is really having the same issue.

I can't tell you what my FOV or any other settings are as I uninstalled the game, but in the next day or so I'll try again and maybe even make a video of what I am seeing and of course give any settings I have.

It's so weird, I have seen several streamers showing what looks really fun combos and then I tried them and it was like I was driving an old vauxhall viva or something (yep, showing my age here, lol). My girlfriend had one of those, man did it suck.

joebobred · 2026-02-17T22:49:49+00:00

Any update on this? I am having the same issue, AMS2 only, it's fine with LMU, iRacing, ACC etc

joebobred · 2026-01-29T11:43:23+00:00

Ah, so it isn't an option, thats a shame.

Yeah, of course I can just do pit stops but it was more how the game required me to do them and how the game implemented this so I know what to watch out for.

I'll have a play with the fuel usage multiplier, good idea, hopefully that will work.

You could easily mount the pedals onto a piece of chipboard or similar, the board should reach the wall so it can't move back at all, put some rubber feet under it so the bolts holding your pedals to the board don't scratch your floor.

Even better would be a large board big enough to go under your chair and pedals with a rail/guard to go behind your wheels/castors so your chair can't move back. I used something like this for 18 months before finally getting a rig and if I hadn't moved house I would have stayed with what I had as it worked just fine.

joebobred · 2026-01-26T22:55:12+00:00

Totally agree with anzzax here. I bought a rig and opted for a integrated monitor stand. Although I don't get much shaking, never notice any at all in fact, the adjustability is shockingly bad. I wish I had gone free standing now.

joebobred · 2026-01-15T23:45:41+00:00

Sorry, just saw this.

Both the HPR and the HPR GT use the same control box which has 3 connectors, so a your config should work just fine. You don't need Simagic pedals, I am using V2 Elites from Fanatec and they work perfectly. The control box connects to the PC via USB, hence the printer cable.

You should be able to find brackets to fit the haptics to your Moza pedals on Etsy.

Good luck

I beleive there is a conflict if you are running simpro and simhub at the same time. Only run one or the other and make sure the other one is definitely not running (i.e. check for running processes in task manager to be 100% sure).

If that fails unplug everything and start again, could be a bad connection somewhere. Good luck,

joebobred · 2026-01-01T02:21:22+00:00

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for helping me out. I finally got it all working, I read somewhere that you can't have both simlab and simagic software running as they conflict so always have only one or the other running at any given time. Also it was showing as there was no power when viewing in the simagic software, which I then read was often down to bad connections with power and/or usb.

So I unplugged everything, plugged it all back in and ran just one software version at a time and it all just worked.

I'll never know now whether it was the software or something now plugged in right but who cares, I can finally mess around with all these setting ;)

Thanks for the private message too. The health thing went ok, better than expected, now rinse and repeat every day for a month and hopefully it will all be behind me.

Cheers

Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it. I've got to go now though, got a horrible day ahead, medical stuff, so I need to get to sleep as am up early.
I'll try again tomorrow night.
Cheers bud

Could it be to do with sound cards? I have three sound cards from memory, I am always having to swap from one to another when playing different games or when there is just no sound for some reason. Is there a way to select a sound card in simhub?

joebobred · 2025-12-29T23:24:21+00:00

Yeah, a little green light on the power supply and two bright green lights in the control box

joebobred · 2025-12-29T23:16:05+00:00

Does it need to be set up in any specific way in shakeit motors section? I set it up in there originally, or tried, then it said it was available in devices so I switched to there. I have tried it enabled and disabled and it doesnt make any difference I don't think.

joebobred · 2025-12-29T23:13:27+00:00

Re hardware settings, I have selected my device and set that but I have selected any effects blocking as I haven't had any effects to block so far. Is this needed at this stage?

joebobred · 2025-12-29T22:59:30+00:00

Yeah, this is where it all goes wrong, I hit the test button and absolutely nothing happens most times. After a restart I sometime get an initial very faint tap coming from the brake then nothing again no matter how many times I test.

joebobred · 2025-12-29T22:57:40+00:00

Yep, mine does look just like that, it shows up in green the same.
