I'm curious on why you chose either or?
Wouldn't the screens staying stationary take away from immersion as your body and wheel would move around the cabin while your cars dash and windscreen wouldn't?
Currently very happy with my rig, it has been this way for almost a year and in that year I have saved up about 400 euros to use to upgrade later on, but that left me with the question what do I upgrade next?
Here are my specs currently:
- single Samsung g3 monitor
- fanatec csl dd 5 nm
- Simsonn plus x pedals (3 pedals)
- gx100 shifter
- Trakracer tr80: with gt bucket seat
- McLaren and round wheel
Here are some things I consider to upgrade
- save up some more for triples
- save some more for clubsport wheelbase 15nm
- some small additions like, Simube ddu500 dash, flag indicators, wheel wall mounts, keyboard tray
What should be my next upgrade?
I've made multiple posts asking about good entry wheels for beginners
i tried the g29 from my neighbor and i gotta say im so not comfortable with it, cant wait to get a dd wheel
i was gonna buy a cheap belt/gear driven wheel bundle that comes with a clutch pedal and a shifter (pxn v99 bundle) but turns out direct drive is much much much better and its a day and night difference
Then i came across the pxn v10 ultra but its base is just too big and not worth imo (ill be playing on my desk) and the button design is so weird
so my final decision was either the pxn vd4 or the moza r3/r5
I heard the pxn vd4 peaks up to 5Nm torque while the moza r3 peaks at 3.9Nm
the r5 will be a hassle to get cause its more expensive obviously but i can try to save up for it
im not experienced into simracing but i will be playing these games:
- Dirt Rally 2.0
- WRC
- Forza Horizon 6
- F1 25 or 24
- Assetto Corsa
- NFS Heat or UNBOUND
-BeamNG Drive
and will be willing to try new games
im a pc player and ill mount it on my desk
the pxn vd4 doesnt come with a desk clamp but i can buy one myself i guess
sorry if im bad at asking 😅
i live in saudi arabia and my currency is in SAR (1$ = 3.75 SAR)
EDIT: i wanna buy a clutch pedal and shifter and possibly a handbrake LATER.
I've been running a Fanatec DDpro 8nm with CSL load cell pedals & a GT wheel for a while now. I am looking at upgrading to more premium end equipment.
I am stuck in two minds between these two configurations.
Moza R25 ultra + GS V2P wheel + Mbooster pedal & throttle set.
SImagic Alpha evo Ultra + GSI GXL wheel + Simsonn or Simnet pedals.
I struggling to choose as if I go Simagic I lose the active pedal & if I go Moza I compromise with the base & wheel.
I'm leaning toward Moza mainly because of value & bundle discount but I would like some advice on the tradeoff? Will I regret choosing Moza over Simagic base?
Thanks
A couple of days ago I posted that I started my journey on sim and posted this picture. Yesterday I got this rig for $100 and now I can’t wait to try it! Also looking for recommendations on getting started with a pc. I only have a ps4 with gt7 and im planning on getting ACC and maybe Rally 2
Moza cs pro with Momo mod 78 350mm.
Mainly the protruding edges around the joysticks at the top are in the way, but I think the edge around the middle of the three buttons at the bottom is also slightly in the way.
What do I do?
I’m pretty sure some of you remember me for my old rig, well now that’s gone and I finally have something that is actually ergonomic. Went from my crusty R5 and srp lites to a R16 Ultra (Yes it released early in China) paired with my KS pro and FSR1 and Crp2 pedals.
Posting this here because I’d like to thank everyone who’s imparted their wisdom in this sub (and other sim racing subs) as I’ve likely read it and put it to good use. I still need to make some adjustments as I just got it setup but they couldn’t wait to try it. My aim was to build them something they could grow into long term and (ideally) they can use this setup well into their teen years though I’ll probably upgrade to a stiffer chassis for them once they get a little taller. They’re both motorsport obsessed (F1 & IMSA) so I’m hoping this gets plenty of use for years to come.
Learned a few things in this process and I’ll now be taking that into the construction of my own rig.
Thanks again, y’all.
Chassis - NLR GTLite Junior
Wheelbase - Moza R12
Rim - Moza ESX
Pedals - Moza CRP2
I’ve spent 3 years playing on the Moza R12 and SRP pedals, iracing, AC and ACR.
I like the SC 3 pro but the eco-system is out of my budget (wheels etc). I’ve been looking at the Simagic Evo 18 with QR-A for the wheel base, GT neo wheel.
Pedals Im thinking the Simlab pedals or Heusinkveld sprint 3s.
Hand brake and shifter (only need sequential) SG racing kit.
Any user experience is appreciated as I don’t have the opportunity to try these in person.
I made a rally co-driver simulator where you don't actually drive the car
I'm working on BLIND CREST, a browser-based rally simulator focused entirely on the co-driver.
Instead of steering, braking, and trying not to launch yourself into a forest, you're responsible for reading and calling pacenotes in real time.
For example:
>
You have to interpret that and call:
>
The challenge is doing that accurately and quickly while the car is flying through the stage.
The game currently has 18 rally cars spanning Group B, 90s WRC, and modern Rally1, a six-stage career championship, pacenote training, a tuning system with 100+ parameters, voice recognition, LAN multiplayer, statistics, achievements, and a story mode.
I'm looking for people who are into rally/sim racing to actually try it and tell me whether the co-driver gameplay works.
I'm particularly interested in whether the pacenote system feels authentic, whether the difficulty is reasonable, how well the voice recognition works, and whether the whole thing is actually fun.
Demo: https://evaliisaaibast.github.io/Over_Crest/
I'm a student making this project, so honest feedback is very welcome. If something sucks, tell me why. That's much more useful than “looks cool.”
Bought a pair of fox flexair gloves that came with this. I'm not in America so here you go.
I have at least 400hours in acc , 400in ac , 350 in forza motorsport, 200 in pmr , 200 in wrc 24
Practically all I do is time attack, like 98% of my gameplay
I just love ❤️ driving racing cars against the time , different tracks
I love to be alone and push the limit to the max (my personal limits) just like The Stig from top gear
I play racing games with a wheel and simrig from 2021 and racing game with the pad from 2007
Anyone like me ? Or is just me ? I cannot get into racing people, zero enjoyment for me
Hi all,
Had my g29 for a few years now, im a casual racer on GT7, wanting to dip into ACC. The logitech rs50 is on sale in Australia right now, and after looking into it I'm a bit conflicted on upgrading, I'm a pretty casual racer, every few months or so I get back into it for about a month and every time I always want a bit more from the g29. Anyone make the leap as a casual racer from gear driven to DD?
Thanks heaps

Hello, everyone. I am just starting simulators and have no intentions of taking it seriously (participating in important races, being part of the team, etc.), just to spend good time and have fun. Wanted to ask if this is a good enough deal? I am not looking for some magical pedals, just as always, want to buy something that wont need upgrade (or replacement) after. Thank you.
Just a bit tongue in cheek, but with a serious note.
A little over 2 years ago i sold all my race and flightsim gear as i did not enjoy all the equipment and feeling of invested money as well as to break addictive behavior.
Since then, i raced and flew on an xbox controller and still had a blast while working on myself.
I raced way less, broke the addiction, started a solid workout pattern, lost weight, got in shape both mentally and physically. all very positive i may say.
Still enjoyed AC, ACC, LMU and DCS, just in a healthier manner, and way-way less hours put in.
Now, a few weeks ago, i made a mistake ( /s ). I got AMS 2...
I honestly cannot remember the last time i had so much fun in a race sim. Specially the early 2000's content of Endurance, Indy and F1, as well an old stuff. Basically, AC but with integrated mods and usable AI.
And it really has made me crave for that immersive feeling for a wheel again like no other game has done.
And ofc right than there is a pretty good sale on a Moza r3......
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i am back baby!!!! But this time healthy, both physically and mentally and i am so excited to fully start enjoying the hobby again. It may sound cheesy, but gaming just is so much better when feeling good about oneself.
Happy racing!
As someone who doesn't have the budget for a button box, I was happy to realise that the numerical keypad hack works, but how to mount it?
I realised that a cheap car phone holder might (and did) work.
And then I realised that windows mouse keys software can map the mouse to it for ease of navigation.
Just a heads up if you haven't seen it yet. Keychron Nape Pro is a handy option if you are low on space and need a few extra programmable buttons.
I had been looking for a trackball like this for ages.
Flick me a message if you want a link to the printable mount.
