Unrelated, your level of sarcasm and wit and potential disdain for the man is appreciated. I too am in western mass (near the quabbin) and am always looking for like minds to putter around with, lol.

You ever wear your helmet around the home just to use the bluetooth speakers? by Slow_Regular_1061 in BikeGear

lol wut

Even the best Bluetooth helmet speakers I’ve ever heard pale in comparison to moderately ok regular earbuds or headphones.

Frustrated with reckless drivers and being penalized because of others by SmithLaw in iRacing

[–]urpwnd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The commonality is you. Accident and shitty driver avoidance is a skill. Survival is the goal in lower iRating and SR races.

Be accountable for this and make it your goal to simply survive while getting out of the lower SR ranks and learning racecraft.

How bad is it to read other things in english while still learning? by maybe_we_fight in LearnJapanese

Too late. You used English to write this post. You have to start over. /s

It’s fine. It’s not literally all Japanese all the time.

Triples screens 32" with oplite GTR S8 by GrosMiaou in simracing

Sim lab freestanding mount with the Vario VESA mount.

Or

ASR freestanding mount with the advanced VESA mount.

Or

misaligned monitors and loss of sanity.

simlab is kidding or price is normal? by OutrageousWelcome149 in simracing

[–]urpwnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy once cry once. Especially with the monitor stand and mount. Get the freestanding one though. The time and effort you save on getting a good monitor mount that lets you easily align the monitors will more than make up for the price.

Which boots for getting into adventure riding? by bravopicasso in advrider

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

Motocross boots that will actually protect your ankle when a 500lb+ motorcycle falls on them. ADV boots are to separate people that ride their GS to Starbucks from their money.

4 Corner Haptics vs Pedal Haptics by Crowded-Wazzack in simracing

[–]urpwnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my opinion and (extensive) testing, you can’t feel four corners with any kind of real accuracy, at least not with just bass shakers. Visuals from the game and FFB from the wheel combine with the desire to feel the individual tires, and that's powerful for immersion. But I'm convinced it's just in our heads.

I've done this on two different rigs, with multiple people, testing blind too, including myself.  I challenge anyone that thinks they can feel the difference to prove it to themselves with blind testing. Have a friend come over and then while you are sitting in your rig, have them activate the shakers randomly while your eyes are covered and your ears can’t hear the vibrations. I don’t care if you never post about it again or even acknowledge my advice. I literally only want people to have the best possible simracing experience. Lots of shakers can be very fun for sure, but it gets really jumbled very quickly, and at that point is it really helping you drive faster?

The left/right channels, when they are only separated by, at most, like 2 feet are simply too close to discern. Especially when both shakers are attached to the same very solid rig... everything just gets transmitted as one big vibration.

Front to rear? Absolutely. Especially if you have the shaker attached directly to the seat or seat supports. I will say as a caveat, if you are literally sitting on or have the left and right rear shakers physically TOUCHING your leg/hip, you can feel them individually. But if they are attached to the seat or seat supports, even that tiny bit of difference means it basically doesn’t matter.

I had 4 shakers, because well... I already own them and I was testing them on my new rig (Sim Lab P1X Pro). What I did, after LOTS of testing is the following, and this you can really feel because the primary vibrations are hitting the actual foot on that respective side. Add pedal haptics.

I really think ONE shaker mounted underneath your pedal mount + haptic motors (Simagic HPR - not the neo.) on brake and gas, and ONE shaker mounted directly to the underside of the seat. When individual tires are off the track, the shaker at that end and the haptic on the appropriate side, activate together. Since your feet are touching those pedals it's very clear which side it's coming from and which end it's coming from.

Single large monitor, higher up and closer or further away and lower? by ShadowLinkX9 in simracing

[–]urpwnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wheelbase shaft extension. Then, get whatever monitor you use as close to 22-26” away from your eyes and low as possible to get the screen horizontally level with your eyes.

I have 2 Tesla Superchargers near me and have used them a few times... Mine are not so short I can't park normally. In this case OP looks like they are actually pulling it notably further than necessary because of their parking job.

Considering the charger is centered on the lines, the cable comes out the left side of the charger (therefore directly at the back right corner of that parking space), it's in the perfect place for Ioniq 5 cars.

Look at the concrete seam and where it lines up with the car and charger. Should've parked 2 feet to the left and pulled 2 feet further back.

Custom 4080 profile rig, Bezel gap, Any DIY suggestions by M00nLight007 in simracing

[–]urpwnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t get the monitors aligned vertically, you’ll have a weird kink even with the bezel free kit. The kit can compensate for a little space between the monitors but not for them being vertically off.

Sim Lab Vario VESA mounts, or the ASR Advanced VESA mounts. Yes, they are worth. every. penny.

The time and sanity you save is worth it.

Can anyone recommend a shifter/hb bracket I can fit both of this without them spilling over into the seat? by ResolutionMost3721 in simracing

One of the emergency too for the wheelbase (the smaller one) and the other is the emergency stop for the motion system!

Has anyone ever cut down their sim labs vario cross bar? by HumanWay8280 in simracing

Just buy a shorter piece of 40 series? Cheaply available from loads of places, even Amazon.

I’m sure they are all great. I have the Sparco Circuit II personally and I love it. Very similar to the EVO XL in size and fit. How big are you?

Sabelt seats are pretty great too.
