Your rig/setup

Friends, We passionate about these games and simulators, which brings us to the most beautiful dreams of speed, makes us have big spending and creativity.
More satisfaction is guaranteed.

 

Hi all, I'm new here. This is my setup, hope you guys like it even if it looks like a toy compared to what you see here, pretty awesome!!



G27 DIMyself stand for the wheel and a pc with 28" screen

 

I love, love, love the pink shoes on the left, I will use them for driving!!!!

(welcome to ac forum )

 

hahaha they are actually red

 

Tired of my WheelStand Pro and wondered what you guys think of the Playseat Challenge, dont have the room for a fixed rig but this seems to be mobile somewhat. Thanks

 

I'll find pictures on Nogripracing my first attempt at a cockpit was very similar to his. I liked to see!

 

So it was my first cockpit with pedals and exchange a VW Beetle I bought at scrap metal and adapted to build. my passion only increased

 

This is my cockpit:

 

Assetto Corsa Lambo Huracan GT3

Click for bigger

 

how did you create this I don't see any bezels

 

I love mine. I don't have room for a full rig eather but this thing is just as sturdy. I have had no problems with it in over a years worth of use aside from the fake seat belt holes liner breaking the first time I sat down in it. Folds up super compact too.

 

Looks great thanks also the guitars look awesome. I hope to find the PC as stock seems low out there

 

I could use a foldable seat like this

Did you built it yourself or something like this available for purchase somewhere?

 

I was thinking the same thing because I have a foldable seat/chair that actually looks exactly like that (without the wheel and pedals attached of course)

Edit: I'd need to move my beer fridge so it was near the setup (looks tricky to get in and out of)

 

Updated to triple-screen and some other little stuff too.

 

I've been taking a good bit of time viewing and admiring the various set ups people have shared in this thread and elsewhere for use with AC. Yet i am constantly surprised by one variable, available memory/ram in the systems' built.

Specifically, the lack of ram in favor of multiple card Nvidia x80 SLI /AMD top tier crossfire set ups, multiple large monitors/tv's, great wheels, pedals, seats, projectors and so forth.

Unfortunately with 32 gig of ram, i don't have enough ram for a suitable ram disk to use with a full AC install (including mods) entirely to the ramdisk (my AC install is at 46 or so gig currently). However with various other MMO's i play, productivity applications and the OS's /temp path environment variable, i use a ram disk permanently. The MMO's in particular, - typically have huge .dat files in the neighborhood of 20 or so gig. If i know I'm going to be playing the game for an evening, i typically set up the system with the .dat file sitting in the ram disk (which i resize to the required amount eg. 20 gig) and tell the MMO (for instance, Guild Wars 2 or Eve Online) to use the ram disk for the location its .dat file or 'shared cache' is located. Portable games like World of Tanks and similar productivity applications i simply copy in their entirety into the Ramdisk and run from there.

There are two caveats here of course:

1. Depending on source file/application/game locations for the app that will be residing on the Ramdisk, there is the issue that they must be copied (from a source storage location) to the ramdisk before use. This can be scripted as something the system does at boot time, or you just do it manually before starting the game/program. The ram disk being what it is, has to be reloaded every time the computer is turned on or reset, generally speaking. This process can take a minute or two depending on source device performance and naturally the size of the application being copied. In the past, with purely platter based hard drive systems with low transfer speeds this kind of activity could take a while (earning ram disk discussion a bit of a lol from folks who're impatient). Equally, with small quantities of ram in a system 4-8 or fewer gig of ram, the use of a ram disk becomes questionable as a means of getting performance out of anything outside of the system /temp environment or really specific niche activities.

2. There are rarely any common or stereotypical 'gaming' enthusiast numerical system specifications that are easily visible on screen that it will improve. FPS will probably not be notably increased. General enthusiast benchmark performance will not likely improve that much. There is a fair perspective that suggests SSD's are more than enough. They're quick, snappy and hold more than enough content for their price/performance ratio. Oh, and in a year or so from now Intel NVME & PCI-E / M2 based SSD devices will be hopefully both accessible to mainstream consumers and enthusiasts alike.

However, I use when and where i can, a ramdisk because its speed (both 4k random & sequential R/W speeds) and flexibility (block sizes) are absolutely day/night compared with any other kind of storage media be it platter based or even a pci-e SSD. Where i really appreciate it is in the load time of 3d environments or multimedia productivity activities (capture/editing etc). In competitive Moba games like World of Tanks, you are able to see who you are going to be competing with as well as their composition long before their 3D environment and related information has loaded. In mmo's with stereo-typically long load times between regions (eg. Guild Wars 2/Eve) ... you end up only waiting for server load instructions. But otherwise the 3D regions load near-instantly. Depending on the kind of game and size of the files it uses, one can equally change the block size of the NTFS ram drives' formatting. While by default (and with good reason) the block sizes are at 4k in most drives, a special purpose RamDrive for one game or productivity use with a couple huge, multi-gig files can have its block size resized for those specific files.

As a result, i look to AC and reflect on the time i spend loading tracks, cars and in particular community mod tracks/cars. Not to disparage the beautiful works and phenomenal efforts invested in these mods, but some of them are rather large. Yes, once they're loaded, they're great and play wonderfully but there is some load time involved in these situations. Wouldn't it be cool if they could be loaded instantly, just as with other apps/games from ram disk. Wouldn't it be phenomenal to press start and have tracks/cars simply ~appear~ in fractions of a second or two at most. No wait. Just play. Like a 1980's console.

So, rather than run with 3 NVidia /AMD cards and an enthousiast OC'd k series cpu, - what about looking at ram disks and enthusiast motherboards that support 64 -> 128 gig of ram for use with ram disk for the near-instant load times when running AC? Has / is anyone else playing around with an AC install from ram disk?

 

I think a proper SSD suits AC just fine. It's a racing game, a set of triple screens is a bigger advantage than second-long loading time. Unfortunately, it requires some serious GPU power to play reasonable FPS. In my opinion, if we are not talking about Titan X, 16GB of fast RAM is enough for SLI at the moment, but I'm no expert of course.

 

Boa tarde,
Qualquer um de vocês tem SLI GTX 970 e rift mais cULus DK2?
Você pode me dizer o desenpenho diferença e muito mais?
