Race Sim Tech & Tips

All good! let us know what you decide, ultimately I don't think you could go wrong with a profile rig in general!

[norbs]

The P1-X is looking like solid contender. Need a way to mount the 49 inch and a 27 above it.

[nutty]

Easy, its exactly what I did with the Trak Racer setup

Nutty, do you have a slider under your pedals?

Also saw this today.

TrakRacer includes it

I had to drill a hole to suit my pedals tho

[Duke]

I've often wondered for those with a multi-position rig, how often do you actually change it to suit the driving you're doing (GT, Formula, etc)?

Cause you'd have to get used to the different positions & in thoery your FOV or more importantly your horizon shift changes.

Im not sure everyone is as picky about FOV as you are Duke.

The reason I am asking about sliding pedals and seats is if other people want to jump in and have a playe, they can. The current set up I can only move the seat, and for some people, it isnt enough.

Yes I s'pose so but I'd also say that anyone willing to go to the lengths of buying a rig for multi-positions & actually using the different options would care enough about thier FOV / horizon shift.
I totally get why you'd want that flexibility if you shared a rig or had many opportunities for others to try or use it like what you're doing. Much like I made sure mine had a sliding seat, knowing the fov / horizon is only correct when in my preferred position & still being able to have family & friends get a taste of using it.
So my question is aimed more towards racers who don't have others use thier rigs.

Been thinking about the amount of people that have tried my seat on a box rig, and I think the number is in the 40s! Ranging from a tall and skinny cyclist 6"6', woodsy who is tall and solid, all the way down to 8 year old kids. So it is probably a lot more flexible that I realised anyway. We had to drag the pedals and box they sit on forward for the kids.

The one thing I will miss on a separate cockpit is my Unistrut (thanks Telstra) sliding monitor mount.

Another DD wheel is coming(?)

https://mozaracing.com/wheel-base-r21/

With 21Nm of torque on tap the R21 can lay down an ultra-wide torque range that accurately reproduces the dynamic steering characteristics of top racing cars from F1 to IndyCar. Feel the road through the steering wheel.

[DarrenM]

$2100 for the base + $650 for the wheel

[norbs]

LOL. I didnt say it was cheap

With mine, except for moving the seat forward and backwards there is zero chance of moving the wheel/pedals, although the rig has adjustment knobs its an absolute pain in the ass to adjust and get right, it would have taken me 1-2 hours to line all the parts up to get my ideal seating position, there is no way im moving it for anyone else!

Will probably end up with the Track Racer like you Nutty. Still waiting to hear back from https://enkosi.com.au/tech/racing-simulator-cockpits/ to see what they can tell me.

[nutty]

Cost reasons? I never really quoted them up but what did it come to shipped vs trakracer?

I havent heard back from Enkosi yet.

I did also see this one for pre order. Thoughts?

Not sure I like the 45 degree angle parts, the best thing about a profile rig is compatability, seemly this would remove some.
Like if I wanted to use a sim labs pedal mount, I could have, this looks like it might be abit shit like that..

[norbs]

Yeah. Good point. I am currently looking and possibly mix and matching stuff.

Track Racer for the 2 monitor mounts is $460 unless I am reading the site wrong. Sim Lab is $280.

Not going to lie, my balls tinlge looking at this one.

[w00dsy]

Your balls are tingling because it's your version of this

[norbs]

That escalated quickly.

This might be a good deal for someone?

Enkosi have come back with a pretty good quote, with some custom made screen mounting options for the 49 and a 27 inch. it worries me a little that I cant find any people that have used them.

[nutty]

Thats only single profile, so equivalent to a TR80, how does that price compare?

I thought some was single and some double, but I will ask.

Price was sort of ball park with the others. It could come down to what i can get timing wise.
