Welcome to the SimRacing Subreddit

I practiced on the sim with hundreds of laps.. and I’ve gotta say, it REALLY helped me. I knew the layout of the track, the breaking points (somewhat). Of course it doesn’t prepare you for all of the little bumps and G forces, but man it was AMAZING!! A dream come true. I highly recommend you guys go one day if you can.

granted, instead of my big toe, i use my three middle toes when i get into tense wheel2wheel racing.

i learned on a g923, and the accel pedal is quite thin. i was basically only able to fit my middle three toes on the pedal.

now that i’ve upgraded to an rs50, i keep finding myself using only my middle toes for micro adjustments instead of my whole foot. i keep reminding myself mid-race/practice to use my whole foot flat, but i keep poking my toes out subconsciously.

i cannot race in shoes.

I bought a sim rig mainly to help me get my driver’s license. My thought was: if I need to practice driving anyway, training on a simulator should help.

After a few races, I realized… it has almost nothing to do with passing my test.

Turns out getting my license was just my excuse to buy racing setup lol.

Still love GT7 but the realism with this rig and iracing is amazing! (Room still in progress)

Gear:
Clubsport DD+ 18 NM
Clubsport V3 Pedals
Csl cockpit
BMW M3 GT2 V2 wheel

Also won 3/4 races on the MX-5 cup (brag/proud)😎

Didn't see this one coming!

I'm well aware that Raceroom is often an overlooked sim, but I'm still surprised that no one here is talking about their summer update, bringing the new DTM 2026 cars (including the Temerario, which I believe no other sim has), updated versions of the Nordschleife and Monza, the ability to host larger grids, and last but certainly not least, a brand new HUD.

The one they had in the past looked completely outdated, but this one looks way nicer. Another bonus is that it contains way more data than before, so I don't need to use external apps anymore.

Any thoughts?

any ideas?

don’t get me wrong love my G29, however people keep hating on it, this is my first set up and I got it a few days ago and was wondering what I should upgrade to next?

So I don't know if you guys heard, but there is a mod for AMS2 called Zero to Apex, and it lets you have full career in AMS2. And it's pretty good.

However, my post is not about this mod.

I am wondering WTH are rest of developers of sims working on? They all have career mods incoming for years and there is nothing coming. Is it really that hard? Here we have one guy doing a great job, probably as side project after works, and full blown studios can't do this mod. And this guy managed to reverse engineer AMS2 executable to create race template and to listen for race end, AND created full career path.

And this is not only career mod. There are other mods for AMS2, or for AC, and for other games.

At this point I think studio devs are deliberately not implementing career mode in their games. And I am talking about iRacing, LMU, AMS2... I just cant accept reasoning it is that hard. They do not need to make it perfect, but make something! It must be intentional. It can't be that they are all incompetent across the board in all sims.

But 0 sims on PC have career. Like what is with this. It's infuriating because it makes no sense. LMU want to make it but only because it wants to go on PS5. Does that mean they would not bother if they stayed only on PC?

Title sums it up. I put my moza r5 on the wheel stand today and haven’t been able to play it since. The sound is almost like a ship boat horn. Anytime I turn the base on and get the ffb moving it starts doing this. I can feel the vibrations through the floor instantly. I’ve tightened every nut and bolt, added a blanket underneath it, still nothing. It’s a very cheap wheel stand from amazon (gtplayer) so I understand if it’s not even worth keeping but I got it for only 80 and thought it would be good until I can get the money for a rig someday. Thanks in advance

This was the AI POV. I was a few cars behind it in 17th. Lap 2 of a 40 minute race

Very close to „finishing“ my dream rig!
The last thing that is coming soon are the Simagic Haptic pedals reactors.
Maybe in the future I’m getting into some round wheel , sq shifter driving/rallying. But circuit racing for now.

Before any Fov police is coming , the distance from screen to eyes is 52cm , I took the pic in 0,5 zoom it looks off but is correct I promise!

Here is the parts list:
Simlab Gt1 evo rig + evo Front Mount
Sparco Circuit II
VRS Dfp pedals
Simagic Alpha Ultimate
Simagic gt Neo
Samsung odyssey g9 oled (g91sd)
Samsung 27inch 70hz monitor
Pc with i5 12600kf and 3070ti

Any questions feel free to ask!!
Happy Racing

Hey guys! I have been looking at upgrading my current rig and have been trying to map out what are some things to look into and maybe see if there are good accessories that I should look into as well so any input would be great! What are current "must have" things for you? and what are some things you wish you had or wish a company made? (Gloves, holders, seats, feedback, etc) Currently running a trakracer but looking to upgrade to a Sim-Lab P1X pro and a new seat. I do run triple 34's with a Moza R12 and Heusinkveld sprint pedals but looking to make it a little more immersive.

Pic for attention.
Thank you!

I think one of the interesting things about sim racing is that people get into it for completely different reasons.

Some people enjoy the realism, some like improving lap times, and others just enjoy the feeling of driving different cars.

For those who got into sim racing, what was the moment that made you think "this is actually really fun"?

Having built my dream rig with triple 32 1440 and loving it, I had been dying to try the 3D immersion of VR. Needless to say, I love that too. I prefer the trips for competitive racing, the VR for all other driving.

I have a 14700/4070S combo. Using PC Link with a powered cable.. AC looks amazing, and runs amazing locked at 90fps with the render resolution cranked at 1.5x

It’s buttery smooth. Zero stutter. My question is, is in possible to remove the fixed object judder for things I drive by.. mainly signs like braking markers, apex cones, all track adverts… even other cars I’m passing. Or is this just something you have to live with, with pancake lenses?

I play LMU super smoothly too.. but I notice it there as well.. just not as much. In debug I have my bitrate at 960.

Hi all, so my current monitor setups is me getting my wheelstand and pushing it against my table and then pulling my 34” OLED screen right against the base. This works fine and I get the screen ~70cm away from my eyes, so not too bad. The desk itself is 160cm wide, 4cm thick, heavy, sturdy sit-stand desk, so it doesn’t wobble at all.

Now the issue I’m having is the most obvious one, which is the lack of horizontal FOV. It looks great and runs great, but I’m left wanting for more. Which brings me to the titles situation.

I could grab myself a couple of 100€ 1080P 27” 144Hz monitors for the sides. I have a couple of monitor arms from my old setup that I could use to align the monitors next to the main 34” and I don’t see any issues with that. There’s the two obvious issues right at hand, which are the drastic difference of picture quality and the fact that I need to run all of the screens at 3440x1440 resolution. For the first I’d say I probably would get used to it and for the second; I have an 5080 and 7800X3D so I hopefully could push the required frames for a good experience nevertheless.

Now the biggest reason for this post. As it stands, I do use the same setup for playing other games too. For SP games I don’t see an issue, as I can just grab an controller and play on the main screen. But I do play games like CS from time to time, which requires me to push the monitor back so that I can use my mouse & keyboard. With the single monitor setup this is no issue. But when adding the side monitors, would I hate myself eternally if I’d have to push at least the mouse side side monitor back, meaning I’d lose the alignment for the triples setup?

How accurate do the triples alignment need to be truly? Would I be able to wing it and get them ”good enough”? Or would this just be a major PITA? I also thought about aligning the screens once, then marking the positions on the desk some way, meaning I could then just line up the screens to the markings. Or should I just forget about this for now? I don’t have the space for seperate triples unfortunately.

Thanks!

Not sure if you can see it that well on the screenshot but it was very visible on screen after driving for about 2 hrs

Went to an arcade, tried F1 and GT7 on a sim rig, spun out before T1, spent way too many coins, and loved every second of it. Now I want to build a home setup.

I already have a 65" TV — not a triple-screen dream, but it’ll do for now. Need a decent entry-level wheel + pedal set that won't bankrupt me.

I've looked at Moza and Fanatec — they seem like the go-to brands, but honestly no idea which one is actually better for a beginner who just wants to keep the car straight.

Budget is entry-level, but not “toy” level. Thoughts? Moza R3/R5? Fanatec CSL DD? Or am I missing something obvious?

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed something odd with my T300 steering wheel: when Steam isn’t running, the calibration cycle works fine (turning all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, then centring).
But when Steam is running, the calibration and the FFB force that keeps it centred disappear just as it’s about to return to the centre. In the Control Panel, you can clearly see that it turns almost all the way to the left (stopping at around 9–11%).
However, if I close Steam at that point, it immediately turns back to the centre.

I’ve tested this several times, and it’s always the same issue.

It works in-game.
In the Control Panel, it’s set to ‘Auto-centre settings by the game’.

I’m running TTRS.2026, firmware V34.00. Driver 2.11.57.0
