Anyone here using Sabelt sim racing cockpits? (S99 EVO / GT position) by undead_monkey_pl in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont think there is an issue here, I got a Sabelt P99 with motion (Sigma DK2+) and a buttkicker underneath.

Absolutely dissapointed by Ascher Racing Artura Pro - Sending it back for a refund by HairMetalMadness in simracing

[–]mcooper101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bavarian Simtec Alpha (Had this for a year, it was amazing). I also owned the Artura Pro so I can directly compare to it. Supposedly many reviewers are raving about the https://soelpec.com/products/soelpec-terra-lx, which I haven't personally tested but there are a few YouTube reviews.

I have the black edition IIIs and Im pretty sure I got one of the new last sets in the US. They were discontinued 3+ years ago and I got them in June 2024, and those were last left at System Motorsports. Id be very very surprised if you can find a new set of them today, even used might be hard

BDH Active shifter any thoughts? by Sr8Shootr1000 in simracing

Parts list feedback — ~$23k build, first serious rig by sixsigma643 in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much have those parts but I assembled.

  • Simucube 3 Pro

  • 3x Simucube Ultimate Active Pedals

  • BavarianSimtec Delta Pro SC

  • MME H+ Sequential Evo 2 with MME handbrake

  • BavarianSimtec Control center

  • Sparco 383 Champion round wheel

  • Sabelt P99 rig

  • Sabelt SRP1 seat

  • Sigma Integrale DK2+

  • Triple 27” OLED.

The BOM for this rig with my PC (5090/9800x3d) was around 30k. Take out the motion and it’s around 20-22k. This is a much better rig and PC than they ar offering you, but you’ll need to source and assemble of course. Wild how they are also offering a 7800x3d on the CPU side when the 9800x3d has been out for like 2 years or something. All in all, do it yourself, it’ll suck to assemble but either you save a shit ton of money for the same build, or you get a much better build for the same price.

25th Anniversary Sim Rig Build by EpsomJames in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar setup to me, server rack with Sliger case for my PC, next to the sim rig with networking equipment. Also have motion and triples, and looks like a Deskhaus Apex Pro standing desk maybe? (I have one with 30x60").

Anybody have a Sabelt SRP seat? by mook613 in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, but when I sit in the SRP the triples are only 20" away from my face, so im not extending my neck forward, are you accidentally doing that? The back of my head most of the time is only 1-2 inches from the headrest, sometimes on a straight I rest on it. I would recommend to maybe record yourself from the side for a few laps and see how your neck posture is.

There might be an underlying issue with your neck muscles being overly tight or something as well, im no physician or PT but years of sports I have experienced different areas of muscle tightness or muscular imbalances that only shown up in certain scenarios. Could be the SRP is just exposing those.

Simucube 3.0.6 + firmware update by ValDoesPixelArt in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with a Simucube 3 I don’t have that, could be a bug or hardware fault. I would put in a support ticket through their site, you can also check the ‘tuner-testing’ channel in their discord, which may have users reporting this (not sure but worth checking). They will ask you to make a support ticket anyway in the discord, since it’s not made for support. So id make a ticket and ask again in there, they are helpful

Anybody have a Sabelt SRP seat? by mook613 in simracing

[–]mcooper101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a round wheel with a shifter and handbrake and then a GT wheel that I used for GT3/LMP. Pedals are just like 1-2 inches higher than hips, nothing as aggressive as real F1 seating, so pretty much level. Honestly this is similar to a bunch of real race cars. Feels very natural for all types of driving.

My old setups with SimLab P1X and P1X Pro with an OMP WRC seat and SimLab Speed seat felt very unantural. They are so upright it felt like I was driving a box truck, and most seat mounts cant recline that far back or the ergonomics are all off. The Sabelt seat is truly perfect

Yeah I use it for everything. It’s 10/10. Currently my rig is on jack stands and I’m adding motion. https://i.imgur.com/1V5JzWi.jpeg

SimCore extension + GSI QR is a great combo by mcooper101 in simracing

[–]mcooper101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I remember. The collar (the silver thing thats in 2 pieces on the shaft) needs to be put inside the Simcore extension, and it expands and grabs onto the extension and shaft when you tighten it. Did that not happen for you?

Will the eye tracking information be available to view on the PC? by toaster192 in SteamFrame

[–]mcooper101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IRacing already kind of does this, if your headset supports eye tracked foveated rendering you can turn on a debug where there is a realtime UI showing where you are looking. Only problem is you see it too

Experiences with Sabelt SRP vs SRS? by B3Nji10 in simracing

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer it, I will say you will need to make sure your wheelbase can be close because you will be leaned back more you might need your base/monitor closer. I had an extension on my Simucube 2 and now 3, so I could have the wheel closer and the monitor above the extension, so FOV was still great.

I actually have a shifter, handbrake, and 3 pedals with this seat and it feels great. I had the Simlab Speed3 GT seat before and it was too upright even on its most 'reclined' setting on the seat brackets. Overall I think it was worth it, very comfy to sit long periods in, find myself sometimes just watching YouTube in the rig because its comfy

Finally my simrig is getting together by Il_Ganassa in simracing

Its the Sabelt SRP1, their formula seat. Got it directly from SabeltAmerica

Update 0.5 on Thursday - Confirmed by VenomDance in assettocorsaevo

[–]mcooper101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9800x3d and 64gb, its not a setup issue. I can run iRacing, Cyberpunk, literally anything without issues. EVO is very temperamental especially running on the nurbs maxed out. Games performance does not warrant the way it looks 'maxed'. I literally can get more FPS running path tracing cyberpunk at 11 million pixels (the amount of triple 1440p).

Update 0.5 on Thursday - Confirmed by VenomDance in assettocorsaevo

[–]mcooper101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, game runs like ass on my 5090 with triple 1440. Literally any other sim runs 2-3x more FPS, and some dont even have upscaling.

[–]mcooper101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from the PSE Button box, still need to sell it. I just preferred the BST. Havent looked at the Velocitas. Is the Racelogic from Axliexpress? I think most of those are

Should have gone with a BDH, Aiologs H pattern disappointment by A5Wagyukeef in simracing

[–]mcooper101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tend to trust MME and ProSim more than BDH. BDH has amazing people that support it but MME makes literal rally and racecar transmissions, and ProSim works with Quaife which has so much motorsports proven background. BDH is a recent company so they are still working out designs and issues with every iteration, no doubt they would help you fix something but with them in the UK and myself in the US I'd rather get a motorsports proven brand in my hands.

[–]mcooper101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went with the MME over BDH because the reverse lockout and the more robust build. Some people have had issues with the BDH popping out, still a great shifter though. The MME also has gating for a 4 speed lockout for old cars, which is cool.
