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

Yes

 

Looks like you are well on your way down the rabbit hole now!!!!!

 

Surprisingly the old DLPs, at least what I read, had response times in microseconds and refresh rates at 120 hz. So old it is hard to find the exact specs for my model, but that is what I was able to generally glean from the interwebs.

I'm already subscribed to the various facebook flea markets and classifieds. My biggest hurdle at the moment is that I'm not ready to invest in a full rig just yet. I know they are basic, but the playseat challenge seems like a good starting option since I'd like to be able to fold up and put away and I won't feel bad about that price point when I do buy a rig in the future. Problem is I doubt trying to use a DD wheelbase on one of those would turn out real well but I'd also like to only buy a wheelbase once and not feel like I have to upgrade in 6 months. Also don't want one that would frustrate me because of lack of feel.

Geez...I sound like a woman who can't make up her mind.

I'll keep your Vive in mind. I haven't researched VR too much yet.

Faaack. Ok. What do I need. Not breaking the bank but know I need a wheel and pedals and a shifter right?

 

My 1st rig. This is with a Clubsport. I ran it for a while with an Accuforce.
No problem with DD
If you can afford it, go Accuforce

 

Damn. Ok. What about an intro kit lol.

 

He ya go

 

I have no issues spending an extra $200 for accuforce DD vs fanatec 2.5, however I feel like that would require more $$ outlay and space for a formal rig which I was avoiding at first. I'll keep thinking

Where do you live ?

 

Regular pedals
Accurforce wheel if the money means nothing to you, though plan on replacing the wheel at some point.
Get a rig without the bar between your legs

I started with club sport base and pedals, and a rig with the stupid bar. Been on VR the whole time so cant comment on monitors.
I've now upgraded to HPP pedals, and accufoce base with my fanatec wheel, and a rig without a bar (next level racing), and an entire new computer.
Only regret I have through the process is the stupid bar rig, everything else was more than capable, and faster than I am.

 

He lives. You planning on ever racing again ?
Saw you online the other day.

Im on from time to time. The wife is starting a new business so Im going to have a lot of free time in the next few months.

 

When you say replace the wheel, do you mean just the wheel or the wheel base? I'm assuming former.

I have a rig & seat for sale. But you're short on space.

 

Correct. I personally dont like the wheel of the accuforce. Its just your standard round wheel. Its certainly usable, I still use mine for Rally games. I just prefer the Fanatec formula wheel for actual racing games. I think its just the immersion factor, not a "usable" reason.

 

PM me info. I have space, just have to shuffle some wife/kids crap out of the way.

You all are already going to get me in trouble.

If you look at the picture I posted, you will see I have 3 wheels.
F1/Super Speedway and GT
All are custom made my Sam Maxwell Customs
All are VR and have no display.
If you're going to get into it and not worry about $$. It's the way to go.

 

I don't want to give impression that money is no issue, but more that I'm willing to spend a little extra the first time to avoid replacing down the road.

I just build a new work computer after my HD took a dump with all my pictures.
It's the blue seat with adjustable sliders and this base
