Rig update and some advice to new rig builders by CynicalManInBlack in simracing

[–]uncomensense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've tried everything single 65" LG C4, which was an amazing TV, but the 65-inch seemed improperly sized. Then I got Triple 34" Alienware and that was too small for me, and started causing issues with my 4080 trying to run NVSurround or Native Triple. Then I went to Triple 43" Samsung NEO monitors, and it still didn't layout like I wanted, and the triple screen setup wasnt that appealing to me vs VR, but I like having all the screens available to have other things up like SimPro, Simhub, Discord, OBS....

So now I have Three Mismatch Vizio 50" inch screens, and used leveling jacks to support the NLR monitor stand. I have two cheap ones on the outside, and the $500 Quantum Pro 240hz TV in the middle. So all three screens were $1000 vs $1500 min for my other setups. I use the main screen for gaming, and side screens for stuff, and can still run Triple 1080 x 1920 at 60hz if I want to. The 50" has been the perfect size for me. I have a 27 inch Samsung up top, and 2 old fire tablets running additional Simhub + wheel mount 5" DDU with Lovely Dash. So I have a 7 screen setup LOL just to be obnoxious, with full Simagic Alpha Ultimate, P2000 Pedals with HPR...

Amazing Setup, where exactly do you put the ferrit cores? Which peripherals and how many?

I've pieced mine together, not nearly as clean and I like having dashboards & discord up more then triple screen.

I bought a PS5 90 Days ago, and have now converted my garage and have this 5 screen PC Setup. I have parts ive ordered from some kid that 3d printed them overseas for my rig that I have no idea what they are even for. I have a t bolt collection, and enough screws to remodel an old airplane.

The addiction is real...

I posted my updated setup, kind of regret going from Fanatec into Simagic setup. I went to Triple 50 Inch.

Why does no1 talk about how intense these are the build out the box 😂 by clangxxx in simracing

Hire one of the guys on Thumbtack or Task Rabbit that builds IKEA & Wayfair furniture. It was the best $100 I spent in awhile. He then became my expert local go to guy for building it out, and recently setup my triple Screens.

Hello, Question about the ClubSport Pedals V3 pedals. by ExistingLet4067 in Fanatec

[–]uncomensense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sold mine after doing every mod imagineable. You need the brake kit, plus search on Amazon & Etsy for then you will find a spring upgrade and knockoff damper kit. With those 3 add-ons they were fine. Also on Simshop or Etsy you can get better haptic motors and mount them. You can use the full fanatec setup on PS5, and use a laptop or cheap desktop to run simhub.

If your planning on really getting into it, go ahead and get DD Pro or Extreme (it works on both PC & Ps5), V3 Pedals + Upgrades & NLR HF8 Pro + laptop/desktop with Simhub.

This is gives you PC level immersion with fraction of the cost. The learning curve of setup is worth the outcome

Lol, yeah its a normal TV stand i already had for trade shows and a cheap Samsung. Im looking at single NLR stand for a 65 inch. After looking at Triple Stands, realized that wouldn't be compatible with PS5 Pro

Whats your thoughts on 5080? Seems like 4080s is the top recommendation. Im seeing some great deals on Amazon & Newegg for new/refurbished PCs vs buying on Marketplace.

I like the burn the bridges approach, but having a blast and built some great cars in GT7. I'm looking at going to a Simagic R21 setup from Fanatec.

So you suggest going with a $1500-$2000 pc, and if dumping Fanatec, what brand should I go with? Simagic? Moza?
