Sim racers - what are you running?

S.A.S said:
I have seen two rigs in my couple days of research that stand out, that is the Sim Labs P1-X and the Trak Racer TR160. My reasoning for going straight to these is pretty much buy once and done. Do owners of either of these two have any input to which may be the better choice? or Why anyone would choose one over the other?

If take a look at post 1061 on page 54 you can see my rig. Its a GT Evo but have added a few things to suit. The mount for my Alpha Mini is TrakRacer, I've added a mount for the PC and I prefer the 49" being on the arms fixed to the rig itself.
 
It's waaaaay too hot for me to jump in the sim at the mo. Kinda gutted as I bought the new Caddy, LMP3 and 911 GT3 cars and am keen to use.

I might buy it

It's a console game, poorly, pushed onto the PC. No mouse support in menu, no (proper) support for triple screen, no controller calibration, oh and it runs like a dog on my system. Going to give it a few weeks and hopefully we'll get a patch. I might just have to run it on a single screen.

I've just bought the Porsche Cup car. I'm struggling to make it stop after coming from a GT86. Going to race the fixed and open series this season.

From what I read it can apparently be fun to play with a gamepad bu really disappointing with a proper wheel at the FFB is very basic/lacking.

As per your other comments I think the game's main target is more console players rather sim enthusiasts on PC :D

Can't afford a ac until I install solar panels.

I game on a pad right now as need to make room in my yard to build a proper rig.

The frame was supposed to be used for racing.
Here’s mine, as reconfigured for use in DCS
 
Enjoying F1 23, it’s a nice break from iRacing and how seriously you have to take it :D

Been tidying a few things, happy with it now although waiting for the Asetek quick release that got announced today so I can stick a GSI Hyper P1 on there

EDIT - Wow what has Imgur done to the quality of that image?! :D

Hp1 - you’ll not regret it.
 
Hi all,

Currently planning on purchasing a sim rig and I want to make sure cables are not going all over the floor etc. I'm going to install trucking around the room to run the HDMI / Display port cables from the rig monitors to my PC. Issue I have is I need a 10 - 15m HDMI and Display port cable. I've seen plenty on the rainforest but wounder if anyone has experience with longer cables etc.
 
I've had a IBRA® 10m High Speed PRO GOLD for a few years for my projector and it's worked well, not sure on DP to hdmi but OC sell active DP to hdmi.

Thanks, I've been doing some research and people have talked about active cables, fibre cables etc I'm a little lost.
