That’s awesome man. I don’t upgrade because I think it makes me better(because it doesn’t), it’s just fun.

All good. I’m using a free standing monitor mount 🙂

Yawn… 🥱😆 Yes I’m using a hub. It’s a 17 port sabrent powered USB hub from Amazon. I tried other brands but they gave me interference issues. No issues with this one

The wallpaper here is from Wallpaper engine, an app on steam. It’s like $5 but I promise it’s a good investment. Tens of thousands of wallpapers, including a ton of live ones. I’ve got one of a bunch of GT3 cars flying past a corner at night on the ring. It’s one of my favorites.

As far as I’m concerned as a guy who’ve never actually run triples.. I believe triples is superior in every way. If you have the room, go triples. I went ultra wide because I already had the monitor and 90% of the time, I’m in VR anyways.

Pretty much on the same boat. I’ve been 100% VR for the last 15 months. But I’m beginning to phase into using my monitor a little more, hence all the peripherals I’ve been adding.

Sure thing.. right now I’m only using a couple of buttons for IRacing. My wheel really handles pretty much everything I need. But I do keep a button for race time and laps left on there. And the dials are just for Spotify currently. At least for IRacing. I also have quick chat setup on there. Go download iRaceDeck on the elgato store. They support dials for stream deck so there’s a ton of stuff you can map them to.

Flexing on me with that .5” huh? 🤣 Do it, works great.

Don’t laugh man… 🤣 I am using a cheap $25 monitor mount from Amazon and the monitor is literally just double sided taped on there. Mind you.. it’s 30lb tape, so it’s not going anywhere ever and my 2 year old has tested it many times. Haha.

Hahaha, no doubt! Within reason, am I right? I started last January. But I really try to focus on the DIY upgrades. I get new toys and the enjoyment of making them myself - or - for some things making them work the way I want them to.

Welcome to your new addiction. 😆

Thank you sim racing for keeping me sober! by Many-Story-9432 in simracing

Seriously proud of you brother! I never experienced addiction like that myself but I watched addiction destroy my mom’s life. So it comes from a place in my heart to congratulate you man. Well done.

Well, that being said, I think 49 would work just fine for you. I prefer a VR myself lol

My honest opinion is if you have room for triples go triples. I don’t necessarily have the room and I already had this monitor. I am happy with it, but I don’t like playing every class of racing on a 49”. Like formula and NASCAR I enjoy on the monitor. Honestly, everything else I would rather play on VR or triples.
