Your rig/setup

I have an Asus VG248QE with G-Sync board DIY'd into the case. It's a wonderful thing at 1080P. I can imagine how awesome it would be at 4K. Tomorrow I get my second Asus GTX 780 Ti and am going SLI for the first time. I should be able to turn on all the eye candy now

 

Your rig looks absolutely amazing! I imagine it's a complete blast to drive with.

As of now I only have a boring deskchair... I would like to invest in a playseat but the girlfriend says no. So I guess I'll have to stick to my boring chair as long as I stick to her One thing I've been thinking of that maby someone can answer to; is it hard or even worth it to mount a buttkicker to an ordinary deskchair?

 

Gamer 2's are meant to clamp onto the "post" of a desk chair, So Yes WELL worth it.

 

You just need a chair with gas-lift system to mount it on the tube, that's all.
I have playseat too (was using before current rig) and the main reason, which I wasn't satisfied, was the lack of rigidity - because of the sector mounting system, it rattled even with g25 no matter how tight I turn mount screws. So sure it's a nice hardware if you can't find to buy something different, but I guess if the choice is good enough, I suggest to look into smth more solid (but not so portable)

 

Thank you my friend, will think about it, time is still enough to me to make a proper decision

 

I finally got my second GTX 780 Ti Will be in AC shortly. Fingers crossed that all goes well with SLI and G-Sync, etc.

 

^ So, what am I missing by setting Reflection Rendering Frequency to Static? With my new SLI setup I can run everything else on High or Ultra, but I can't turn that option on without my frame rate getting killed when racing with a full field

 

Reflections on cars won't refresh as quickly...cars won't be as shiny. I'd definitely sacrifice them for higher frame rates and less lag while racing (particularly online). Post Processing are also a frame rate killer for me. If I want eye candy, I'll save a replay and switch to a single monitor before I crank the settings.

SLI definitely makes certain situations slower than a single card (like Reflections).

 

My Opensimwheel project has begun. I found one finnish guy who sold me complete electronics without a motor. So atm. I only need a box for electronics, motor and parts to attach my wheel to it. Can't wait to get my OSW up and running!

 

I wanted a buttonbox but couldn't find it for the price I wanted to pay, then I found a DIY and guess what after 1 day's work











Working (with joy2key) buttonbox for less than 50,- euro's

Thanks for viewing!

 

Nice one, with the electronics all done you are close. My Mige motor took around for days from china to new zealand. With it mounted I didn't want to take it off and muck about so I ordered this mount that Martin Ascher has been making for the MiGe motor http://www.ascher-racing.com/shop/mige-mounting-bracket/ for 69 euro it's easy and has some adjustability.

I got some gloves! I have been using it with iracing set at 20NM and in the dallara it is a real beast. It would be hard work for an entire race, I am not sure many people would take on the challenge to race cars like this in a simulator at full forces.

 

Nice rigs

 

A bit of upgrade. Got my u3011 some new friends, FOV/bezels incorrect for now, so don't bother. Have to design a new desk though, thinking about a mobile playseat project too, since there is no place to mount the wheel, lol.

 

Not Exactly My rig per say, But had a chance to Compare the wheel's side by side, RedBull Vs Fanatec

Surprisingly the "click" action felt VERY similar but lacked the mechanical Click feel the real thing has. Overall Felt pretty Awesome, FAR Lighter than i would have imagined, My Fanatec is quite a bit heavier.

Anyone with buttonbox and know if you can use two buttons for TC like + and -

 

Not yet to my knowledge. Have to use Keyboard for now.

 

If the game only supports keyboard commands then you could use joy2key to map the keyboard commands to buttons.

BTW, I got my wheel properly mounted to the rig yesterday.. Pertty much all done except finishing my other rim. Got the fanatec rim wired up with its own controller and it is working well. The servo drive is awesome, lots of fun.

 

Ah good call with joy2key, Ive personally never ran it, but i guess i have a reason to now. I got More than enough button's.

Fanatec on its own Controller..........Any further details you care to share about that ?

 

Hi Nick, my rim conversion was a rather simple one. I am a rift user so I dont need the SLI of display to be working. I just pulled it apart, soldered on some cables to attach it to my joystick controller and I had to machine up an adaptor to mount it to my quick release.

With the rift I only need about 8 buttons, if that, so I didn't wire up everything although it is possible.
