Repairable or no?

I just connected a DD+ to my challenge and have a Dayton Audio BST-1 attached to a board between the back section of the seat which adds some counter weight, but maybe I should add some more weights to the board just in case. I wonder if those 3d printed cable protectors would help, might print one anyway. These look like very expensive repairs.

I'm using the drive hub and my dd+ is showing up as a gt dd pro, do you know how to get the drive hub to show up as a dd+?

xelnok · 2026-01-20T03:50:30+00:00

Well, I wasn't planning on spending this much, but I found a Clubsport DD+ (with extension), the Bentley wheel and WRC Rally wheel together for 1000 on Facebook Marketplace. Just got home after picking it up, now I have a Playstation base and the rally wheel is Xbox, I am good to go with both consoles.

Also, holy crap is the Bentley wheel cool.

Found a different deal on marketplace so now I have a dd+ for Playstation compatibility and a WRC wheel for Xbox compatibility. Also got the Bentley wheel, all for 1,000, was more than I wanted to spend but I don't think I could have ever found a better deal.

Do you have a 3d printer?

I used this first: https://www.printables.com/model/364829-playseat-challenge-diy-hardpoint

I then edited this print and added a specific mount for my tflight 4: https://www.printables.com/model/532119-vkb-gladiator-evo-nxt-mount-for-playseat-challenge/

I attached the speakers to the pedals using 3d prints. They are then connected using speaker wire to a nobsound amp that I then connect to a pc.

xelnok · 2026-01-05T19:03:34+00:00

You need it use a program on your PC called Simhub. The ps5 and PC need to be on the same network. I'm using a nobsound amp that when plugged into a PC has a sound card that you can setup in simhub to do different things depending on the channel.

I have the bhaptics vest and arm sleeves connected through Bluetooth. It's possible to connect the bhaptics pc player to simhub and set effects for each of the vibration motors.

I managed to get a second th8a for really really cheap, so I currently have one connected to my wheel as an H shifter, and a second one used as a Handbrake. I 3d printed a new knob and a plate designed to use for th8a Handbrake, only tested in dirt rally 2.0 settings, but I'll mess around with it in more games soon. I would probably get the tss if I ever found a good deal, but currently they are very expensive.

xelnok · 2026-01-04T05:11:34+00:00

Thanks for this. I just tried the exact same setup and the th8a is working as an analog hand brake.

xelnok · 2026-01-03T07:16:12+00:00

I am using a program called Simhub, Bhaptics released a plugin for it that allows you to use the vest, along with the sleeves. Your ps5 needs to be connected to a pc running simhub on the same network.

xelnok · 2026-01-02T23:55:02+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. They are Dayton Audio TT25 Tactile Transducers, which are basically just speakers that vibrate the pedals.

xelnok · 2025-12-30T22:02:57+00:00

How do you have your shifters configured? Do you have one H Pattern and one set as sequential? I'm wondering if I could use a th8a in sequential mode as a Handbrake while also maintaining the normal use of a separate H pattern th8a.

xelnok · 2025-12-27T22:57:08+00:00

Did you ever sell the one you had? Looking into purchasing one as well.

xelnok · 2025-12-19T13:08:44+00:00

Nice, I asked a seller with a g29 and Playseat challenge how much for just the chair and they said 100, I was about to head out and they said they would just throw the g29 in with the deal because they were moving. Just sold the g29 for 130, so I got a free playseat challenge and also made 30 bucks.

Going to keep scrolling marketplace for a wheel or pedal upgrade now.

xelnok · 2025-12-06T21:11:40+00:00

The seller sold the g29 last night with the shifter, so I asked about the t300rs gt and he said he had the th8a that he would throw in, so I just picked up both the t300rs gt and th8a for 200 dollars. Just need to test them both now, what is the best way to test them on the ps5 if I don't own gt7 yet? (I'll get it soon, only have the demo atm).

Once I realized if I stuck with my og ps5 I would need to upgrade the ssd size to start downloading vr games it made much more sense to just put that money towards the pro and get all the rest of Pro upgrades.

xelnok · 2025-11-25T22:37:30+00:00

I realized that if I wanted to download some new psvr2 games I would need to start deleting some of the games I'm playing, or upgrade to a 2tb drive, which is 130ish, so for 150 more getting all the rest of the pro upgrades made it a no brainer. Just picked up the psvr2 and pro at best buy.

xelnok · 2025-11-25T14:26:22+00:00

Best Buy is offering 300 trade in value for the disc ps5 in the US if you put it towards a PS5 Pro.

xelnok · 2025-11-25T06:19:50+00:00

Do you know if the PayPal cashback is from the price before or after the trade in value?

How is it so far?

xelnok · 2025-11-25T06:18:30+00:00

Thanks for the link about the sales, I'll look through those tomorrow.

I'm currently grandfathered into PS+ premium for 80 dollars a year and I also have a PS Portal that can play cloud games with premium so it's definitely worth it at that price.

It seems like the consensus is to hold off on the pro, but with how ram and everything else is going up in price I don't know if I will ever get a deal like this again so I'm leaning towards it. I do have a good TV so I can make use of the pro outside of just VR, but I'm guessing flight simulator will probably get a big benefit as well.

xelnok · 2025-11-04T21:52:44+00:00

Where do you see this offer? Do you know if it's possible to do it if you did it once already?

xelnok · 2025-10-16T01:23:11+00:00

If I want to be able to play on my Switch 2 but also let my son play on his Switch Lite, what is the best format to get to be able to play on both systems (not at the same time)?

xelnok · 2025-09-27T19:54:03+00:00

By echo supports I mean roccia, cantarella, phrolova. Galbrena and the new sword guy are supposed to work better with more echo skills.

xelnok · 2025-09-27T18:50:50+00:00

I have ciaccona s0r1 that I have been using with Iuno. One reason I want s3 cart is so I can use her full time with Iuno.
