The wait is over. Need help from the iracing gods on the beeb..

Couldnt disagree more. I have a button box made by some online hack, and I use it as much as the ones on my wheel. The dials and switches are far more intuitive when navigating black boxes and pit strategies and stuff. In terms of in cockpit buttons (limiter, tear offs, push to talk) yeah, wheel buttons are important.

 

Sure, if your like taking your hands off the wheel .
Top 3 L/H : PTT/BB/+ or - Adjustment (tires/fuel)
R/H Pit Limiter/ Pit / HMD Reset
Non essentials are below those.

 

Doesnt bother me in the least.

 

What are your FFB settings ?
Accuforce has way less torque than Simcube .
Come on over and try it in my rig then we'll talk.

 

@stevedave they are trying to suck you into a big black hole of spending! :-D

You can try it on the cheap first to see how much you like it. I did G920 pedal wheel to get started on single monitor with wheel on essentially a cardboard table sitting on a steel folding chair. Try it out before you sink the $ into it. Its fun, I like the camaraderie, but I don't have the time so I rarely get on. And I suck at it because of that

 

Yeah, I know they are sucking me into $$. This isn't a new thought or something brand new...I've wanted to do it for awhile. My best friend also wants to do this, but he is not as tech savvy so he is letting me figure everything out. He and I do go karts several times a year, go to sports car races (including Le Mans this year), and just generally like anything where motors and wheels are going around a track (I do bikes on track, he used to race vintage cars). So I don't think this will be a short lived hobby, although I don't have the amount of time to sink into it as some on here do so I'll probably be at the back with you.

While the setup won't be the reason I'm slow, I also don't want it to be so basic that it is frustrating. I think that happened to BigBird at one point.

 

Not to bust your balls, but you get out of it what you put into it.
This explains a lot. You were getting good and Kenny had a lot to do with it. But you also have to be able to stay on track and finish races. You're not going to be able to do that with your setup.
When I raced using Playstation, I had a G27 with pedals using the carpet hooks. Wheel was clamped to a desk. No problem. Once joining iRacing I took a rig my brother made and updated that as I progressed. Yes, you can do a 3 month trial to see if you like it.But it does not seem that's what he's looking to do. So like Erik said build it right the 1st time.

 

#facts

 

Depends on who's channel you're on.

 

No fucks given on your opinion
... Almost...

Glitter Pants was wiping the floor with everyone with a G27 and a single monitor iirc.

Of course I bow to the lord and savior, the banned Venom51....

 

And he's been racing for a while and not using a card table to mount his wheel on

 

I guess the word is RIG.

 

The major change is VR requirements.
Besides that physical changes like tire & damage model.
You don't "need " much to get back into it.

 

I'm leaning towards getting the Playseat Evolution, and see how that works with my existing wheel and pedals, and single monitor. If I still want more, is that rig VR compatible? that would seem to be the next step- a set of goggles.

 

This came up on Craigslist right around the corner....

Garbage
No one really uses 25" monitors. 27 is the standard and now 32" curved.

 

Its miam . Probably stolen

 

Looks cool to me! I would rock that setup, buts that's a lot of monitors!

 

Can’t imagine the graphics card needed to push 5 monitors. Guess you could turn down graphics settings but kind of defeats the purpose.

I just contacted a guy that has full fanatec setup (CSW 2.5, BMW wheel, v3 pedals, shifter) for $1100 plus shipping. Claims it is less than 6 months old. Everything looks in new condition. Thoughts?

I know it’s not DD, but next best thing...

Why do you think it's being sold for that price ?
