r/moza

Feel free to give any tips or any information you want to a absolute beginner in a sim racing who just bought R5 as a first wheel.

I cant believe, after years of dreaming, scrolling and searching i just got my first FFB wheel! I decided to jump straight in with an R5 bundle and clutch pedal for a gearbox.

I started plating racing games with Gran Turismo on PS4, and spent quite a lot of time. Eventually thought, i started wanting a proper wheel setup to get a little closer to the real racing experience.

I'm really happy to finally have the wheel mounted on my desk, and the force feedback feels awesome! Its more than enough for a complete rookie such as me

By as i used it for a bit, i started to worry that its too serious of a thing for a beginner.

So, I have a few questions for those of you who own or have owned an R5.

• The first thing I noticed is how stiff the brake pedal feels. I've already set the maximum brake input to around 70%, but I still have to push pretty hard. Sometimes, when I try to hit 100% braking, the whole pedal stand tips backward and slides away. And, of course, my chair rolls backward too (you can see my genius solution in the picture). Is the brake pedal supposed to be that stiff? Is there any way to make it easier to press, or at least stop the pedal stand from tipping over? I'd rather not have to build an entire rig just to keep everything in place.
• Second, I'm not really strong hands, and sometimes feedback feels really heavy. I've tried games like BeamNG and Forza Horizon, and I have to put quite a bit of effort into making sharp turns, for example, but i dont actually want to lower strength, couse i should get used to it at the end. Can you tell me, how did you get used to the force feedback? Maybe i doesnt know something? Should I lower the settings and gradually work my way up? Are the default presets any good, or i should try to make my own presets?
• Also im interested in your sitting position. How do you place you pedals relatively to mt chait and the wheel? How far my chair should be?And how do you prevent chair from rolling and pedals from flipping or sliding away?

I'd would highly appriciate any advice or tips you think would be useful for someone who's just starting out and still has a lot to learn about sim racing.

Kinda bummed out that I didn't get to get Max's autograph, but still got Damon Hill's awesome autograph. Any recommendations to protect it?

I have had issues with locking out and being able to transition in drifting. Not sure what the issue could be but can’t hold and transition for the life of me. Any idea on why it keeps spinning out? I’ve reinstalled pithouse, asseto, content manger and still have the issue. Something broken? Idk

Hello all,

I was playing ACC on Xbox, and I noticed an unusual amount of vibration/shake on straight line drives, I tried to adjust all the setting but the issue still persisted.

With no improvement, I tried different method based on online suggestions. I restarted the game, I unplugged everything and plugged it back in. But when I did a hard reset with power button the first time, it powered back up no issue, but I tried again since there was no improvement, the second time I did it, it won't turn back on. I can see there is power to the power cord but the wheel won't turn on. I have even removed the wheel from the base and reattached it. But it still won't turn on.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I always thought my r5 was strong enough being the old man that I am , but this thing is amazing. I guess the word of the day is headroom. Fits my needs perfectly.
