News Race Room upcoming big update!

45 Upvotes

Looks like on 20th Race Room is getting a lot of new updates:

  • UI update (menus)
  • FFB update/fixes with new settings
  • OpenXR support
  • historical spa, laguna seca...
  • rolling starts
  • menu wheel support
  • new vehicle dashboards
  • ...

Looks very interesting to me. I stopped playing it as I had no love for its FFB and SteamVR, but I will try it out.

Just leaving this here in case others are unaware about this, like me.

Clip AC Rally has me delusional about my driving

Spammed the middle bit of Monte Carlo in the snowiest possible conditions because I wanted to improve loose-surface car placement and this section is narrow and unforgiving. When I felt like I was starting to improve, I watched a replay and realized how terrible my driving still looked. Made this video just for funsies.

Game is hard and I am bad, but damn it's fun

Rigs Update: TR120 is finally done!

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

You all weren’t wrong, it was 2 days of building and a week of tuning but it’s done. It was not missing any parts but will say the “compatibility” of the mix of accessories I purchased definitely weren’t clearly easy to make work.

Pedal sliders don’t fit with the pedal tray upside down, so you are stuck with them being super high.

The adjustable base for the reclining seat doesn’t work with the cross bars it comes with on TR’s own RE2 seat. I left them off, so far so good.

The keyboard treat I bought from them won’t work because the TR one bracket block it from properly swinging in regardless of height and orientation. In the product photo they use it with a full width wheel deck not the TR one. Lesson learned.

I drilled holes in my monitor arm and it works fine for now.

My Logitech PRO DD is so huge that the TR one deck is still banging into my knees even after purchasing the v2 upgrade where the extruded aluminum can be flat instead of upright.

I think purchasing the full width wheel deck would solve all these problems, but it’s not as adjustable as the TR one. I think the real answer is upgrading to a front mount wheel hub in the future. Maybe Black Friday sales….

Couple of kids in my village collecting donations for a non profit going door were curious about a sim I was working on. They've never seen a sim before I showed them mine have them drive a little on the ring. Their reaction was genuinely priceless. Brought back the Good memory of when I first tried a simulator.

Hey guys, it's me again. I have this clip of mine and I want to get your opinions. This was also a fight for P1, but I see the guy trying to close the gap when he realized I'd won the position. Was it my fault, or did he just desperately close the gap?

Question 3 weeks into sim racing: struggling to rotate the car and to drive it at the limit (Legends @ Tsukuba). Any feedback?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hi! I'm from Brazil and I started sim racing about 3 weeks ago, on a Logitech G923.
I've been practicing car control and consistency with the Legends Ford '34 at Tsukuba.
My biggest struggle is getting the car to rotate, and I can't really feel whether I'm managing to drive the car at the limit.
I'm also having a hard time understanding what my main mistakes are, which makes it hard to be consistent, since I don't really understand what's happening.
Here's one of my laps (1:05.598), with the inputs overlay. Any feedback on what you see would help a lot. Thanks!

Question Anyone own Wolf Racing equipment? Thoughts?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking to get a new seat for my rig and was lucky enough to attend the Expo this weekend. I made a point of trying as many seats as possible and cataloging my thoughts on them, and most likely I will go with the Treq STX.

But one seat stuck with me, the Wolf Racing BĂśrĂź. I had never heard about them and bumped into them by mistake at the very end. They had some really nice and colorful rigs and a few seats. This one struck me as feeling very comfortable and luxurious. Very thick cushions and the fabric was very soft and pleasant to the touch. Price is very good as well, 470 euros and it comes with bracket + slider.

My reservations are only because I couldn't find much information about them. Nonthing on youtube, there is 1 reddit thread which is very negative but also old, etc.I was sure they were German, due to name and because their website only has German and English, but it turns out their are Turkish. Not that it matters all that much, but the staff at the expo didn't speak English and I struggled to get any basic information out of them. For exampe, I have no idea how thick the bracket is, if they sell replacement padding etc.

Anyone have experience with them? Anything you can share would be appreciated. Cheers

Rigs New cockpit and new pedals. Playseat Evo.

Just traded a Next Level Racing GT Lite (the older style folding one) for a nearly new Playseat Evolution and I am very happy. Looks much nicer, much more comfortable and everything fits nicely.

Also upgraded from the Moza SRP Lite pedals to the Logitech G RS pedals with the 75kg load cell, what a difference that has made, very nice pedal set on a budget.

Clip AC Rally DLSS 5 looks photorealistic

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just been playing with DLSS 5, ultra settings in game and then Cinematic mode applied.

This honestly looks close to real life. Pretty insane tbh.

Curious to how good VR will get in the next decade too.

Note: I didnt just make this to specifically show off DLSS 5, it’s just a clip from the other night after building my new PC, I tried it and figured it looked pretty good so I’d share it on here.

Some people are saying don’t do overcast, I have to remind people this is Wales. That’s how Wales looks, it basically rains all the time 🤣

I’ll do some more videos and put them on YouTube this week and update here

Question New to sim racing — need recommendations for a comfortable seat

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

New to sim racing, quite casusal with it, Currently I have a Sparco R100 I bought used but its quite tight on my hips and like foldable stand for the wheel base etc.

I've just purchased a GT Omega Art that will be coming soon. It isn't the best but space wise it will be exactly what I need.

What seat would you recommend? Ideally I'd like to find a car seat but think thats too much of a headache to do for someone like me. I want a seat that I can sim race in and also sit in to play playstation for a few hours for other games.

Right now I'm thinking the RS12 or the Next Level ERS3 but welcome to options from people who know better than me so please help me out! 😊

Question Using a Divoom Pixoo 64 as a Sim Racing Gear Dashboard

2 Upvotes

Has anyone managed to use the Divoom Pixoo 64 as a gear indicator or dashboard for sim racing?

I'm looking for an open-source project on GitHub or a way to connect it to SimHub and display real-time telemetry, especially the current gear.

Are there any existing integrations, scripts, or DIY solutions that could make this work?

Rigs Help me not regret my first rig, already decided on the base

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello guys!

Yesterday i had a post about which bundle should i choose and there were mixed comments someone said 9 nm is enough and ofc someone said even 12 is not enough.

I just came to a conclusion whatever will be on sales in the black friday promotion will be the choosen one.

However i dont have an exact rig on my mind, i searched up everything and found the one and only answer is a profile rig, but i dont want to spend that kind of money before christmas because i need to buy a lot of gifts. I want something that cheap and even that i can go with a profile and a used car seat that isnt really hitting it for me, if i buy a profile i want a seat that have my sweat on it.

My budget is around 250-300 euro and i saw this rig on aliexpress and a few people posted about it on reddit, but havent seen any videos about it and not a lot review however aliexpress buyers gave good reviews.

Do you have any else suggestions? I read that this rig usually on sales and can cost around 150-180 euros for that money i mean it can be bad to and put in the trash after 6 months and i can buy a profile.

Important note: i am 196 cm or 6’4 feet and 108 kg or around 240 lbs.

Thanks for the help!
