I play on xbox (fanatec wheel) and do a mix of ACC and PMR but mostly singleplayer because most the online servers on console are pretty empty, how do i find a league or a group to play with more often. I'm not super competitive and am just looking to chill and hopefully get to learn from some more experienced sim racers if possible. Thanks!

I’ve finished setting up triples and was wondering if it’s worth it to get bezel deleters. From what I’ve seen they look alright but can be pretty finicky to work with

I have 32” any thoughts about this or if there is any difference you notice with it or not

Currently not having any problems with racers up to 20min in length, but wanted imput on my seating geometry? Fire away.

So I recently upgraded my logiteck G29 and plaseat for a Trackracer 120s V2 and Moza R12 and CRP 2 pedals. Absolutely love it so far is been an incredible difference to the G29, braking on the load cell is a nice improvement. Force feedback reduced a little to 11nm and AC and iRacing have lots of detail. Been driving mostly GT cars.

Question - looking for the next upgrade, currently between a few things;

- Moza CRP clutch pedal

- Moza haptic feedback kit for break pedal

- look into a bass shaker for under the seat

Spec's

Trackracer 120S V2

Trackracer GT rally pro seat

Moza R12 base

Moza CS Pro wheel

Moza CRP 2 pedals

HP Omen 34" 1440p monitor

PC - 4070ti, i7 127000kf, 32gb ram,

So. I have £350. Currently I have a thrustmaster t128, I'm looking to upgrade. I have no particular brand that I'm looking for exclusively, I'm open to all recommendations. What would you recommend? Keep in mind that I mainly play ets2, beamNG.drive, and assetto corse

Howdy All,

Been a while since I have dabbled in Sim / Wheel gaming. Is there a Pedal set that has Force Feedback, and specifically a realistic feeling clutch?

Also what is the GOOD mid range brand these days?

Thank you in advance.

I just did the windows update and now Beam Ng freaks out when I try to use my wheel. The ffb just shakes the wheel and there's zero control, any movement makes the tires go full turn. Also my gear box isn't working anymore. It acts fine in G hub and controller settings. I tried it in other games and it works as it should.

Currently saving up for a pc, I’m wondering what it takes to power a triple monitor rig running games like Iracing, beamNG and all the big sim games

I’d Love to hear the minimum requirements for the pc and a price range too

So, a massive shower came out of nowhere and my rig got about 15min of rain. The rain didn't hit it directly, but it got a bit wet. I immediately dried everything with some rags and then unassembled and put on the sunlight.

• Monitor got water on the screen side and I don't know it it dripped inside (probably). I didn't do anything, just dried and let it there
• Base and wheel got less water and it didn't seem too bad. Dried and unassembled to see if any water got underneath the base, so it don't rust
• Pedals were worse. Base plate were soaked and brake face were really wet. Ellastomers got water too, but for the looks of it, no water got inside the load cell. Same thing for the throttle.

As I said, everything was unassembled and under the sun light. I might let them dry again tomorrow all day long before trying everything.

What else should I do? Any tips? Should I go look for some dicount codes already or everything should be fine? Damn this shower was mad, the sun was bright and hot all day except for the 15min the heavens go down, and of course the window was open

Hey, just wanted to ask if there is any way to fix this wire back into place? The wire is connected to the rim connector on the back of the rim. I bought it used and it didn't work, so i looked inside and found this loose wire. The wire should go in between the orange and grey wire. Thanks for any help in advance

Any recommendations how to set myself up better without spending a ton of money lol.
I’ll be racing in AC/ACC mainly VR which is why I have the small monitor in front of my wheel,
Because I stream i want to be able to more less rotate from my wheel to my main set up without climbing Im and out of a rig, also a rig is not in the budget atm ( 3rd son being born any day now lol )
If anyone has any ideas Im open to suggestions, ( yes I could make a wheel stand / rig but I work long hours in construction and dont have much time or drive when I get home lol )

Hey everyone,

I’m considering the BDH H1 shifter, but at around €560 (in second hand that is nearly new) I’m wondering if it’s still a good buy in late 2026 or if newer options have caught up (or surpassed it) for the price.

I don't mind the only H pattern

For those who own or have tried it:

• How are the build quality and the feel (gates, precision, mechanical feedback)?
• Any reliability or software/compatibility issues?
• Is it still worth the price, or would you go for something else at that budget?

Thanks for any feedback!

I currently have a thrustmaster t300rs gt with a th8a shifter and moza handbrake. I mainly play beamng and assetto corsa. I’m thinking of upgrading to maybe a moza r5 or something like that maybe there one better around the price but is it worth the upgrade or do I just stick with what I got

I feel like a bit of an imposter here, so just curious if there's more like me out there.

I love sim racing hardware, the rig, constantly tinkering and upgrading - getting the most out of it. But honestly I just bounce off the true serious sim racing games - iRacing, Assetto Corsa, etc. They just don't click as "fun" for me, at least not yet - maybe I'm just taking the scenic route to get there.

I started building my rig telling myself I would grow into the true sim titles but just haven't happened yet.

BUT - I'm having a blast getting all flavors of casual and arcade racing games fully functioning on my rig.

Forza Horizon series, Grid series, Gravel, Dirt series, literally any racing game in Teknoparrot (particularly Outrun, Sega Rally, Daytona, Initial D). I particularly enjoy rally games.

Pictured I took a recent recomp of F-Zero on SNES and got it working with real native wheel support, telemetry, and triple screen support - because why not. Is it accurate and optimal? Of course not. Is it fun? Absolutely. Second pic I modded Art of Rally for bonnet cam and first class wheel support - and it's an absolute blast. I'm happy to share these mods but haven't gone out of my way to do so because of the anti-AI sentiment on most subs (I am a software dev but AI was used heavily).

So to my actual question: are there like-minded people there - maybe discords where I could share some of my progress and mods adding wheel support / FFB / telemetry / triple support to more casual games? Or just talk about arcade games on sim rigs / wheel setups?

Rig for those interested (been slowly building this for almost two years now):
ASR 4 Chassis (several frankenstein parts added to it)
Moza R12
Triple gigabyte 32" 1500R monitors
Logitech Z906 speakers
Gauges from etsy seller
Sim-magic DS-8X shifter
Sparco R333 seat I got off FB marketplace

As I know we all love the old school NASCAR games, I thought I would create something with a little help with AI and have made this early access version, will always be Free to play and any feedback will really help shape this game to be even better. Hopefully see some of you on the track!

Works with controller, keyboard and wheel (Need more testing)

Currently running triples 1080 with a 7600x and a 4070. Im kind of struggling with fps in mid to high fps in LMU. Planning to upgrade the GPU and the CPU down the lane. But which one should be the first. 9800x3d or 9070xt or 5070ti?

I have a Fanatec formula rim and I want some good gloves, where I can still feel the buttons while also protecting the alcantara. I've worn some gloves (the picture) but the grip sucks.

Hey folks, it's Andrew again of GP2 Revival.

I've been working non-stop on completing the sim this weekend and in true game development tradition, it isn't quite ready yet :)

However, we now have:

- The first dynamic weather simulation effects - volumetric clouds, fog and haze
- A big update to the dynamic lighting in the Revival Engine. Magic hour light racing now looks much better, inspired by the epic scenes at Sepang last weekend
- The all important 3D cockpit view is much further along, wing mirrors are clearer and work realistically, detail levels are insane (will be great when I add VR) and the driver's perspective camera system now has a lot of custom controls in the menus - including realistic (but not over the top) head movement, and road forces that are 'felt' through the first person camera view. This really gives the game a sense of extra spark and energy without being distracting or fake.

I've also been working on the way paint and reflections work... The GP4 CSM 1988 car pack mod has materials, like alloy and paint, or carbon fibre. Revival Engine now supports these, so sunlight glints and blooms off metal, and glossy paint looks real. I now have some snazzy screen space reflections for the cars and a customisable wheel hub (e.g. Adrian Newey's favourite duck egg blue hubs for the March 881). In the final version, there will also be a grid girl editor.

Pit stops are working and tested. The original 2D sprites are kept for the crew and effects - they're an important part of the GP2 charm. Keep an eye on www.gp2rev.com for the free download and if you're interested in beta testing it, I'm open to that. I want to ramp up the attention to detail further and squash every remaining bug before the first demo hits. Wanna get it right.

At the moment its using GP2's original physics and AI, which are actually very cool. In future, it'll expand to be almost a new GP sim entirely with it's own handling model and AI improvements.

But the charm of that original, is what the current game is all about.

I hope you guys have a lot of fun with it.

Can we talk about classic racing games here?

I've always dreamed of going back and playing the best racing games from every console generation, but I'm having trouble putting together a list of the all-time greats. I grew up playing exclusively on PlayStation, so there are probably tons of amazing games from other consoles that I've missed.

For reference, these are the racing games I had the most fun with on each generation:

• PS1: Ridge Racer Type 4 (R4)
• PS2: NFS Underground 2, Midnight Club 3 (wasn't really into Gran Turismo until the PS3)
• PS3: F1 2013, GT6, DiRT
• PS4: Driveclub (this game is insane!)

I'm not necessarily looking for the most realistic or technically impressive games, just the ones that are genuinely fun to play, even today.

What racing games would you consider absolute must-plays, regardless of console or generation?

EDIT: so many awesome replies so far, many games i've never heard about before

I have been looking for a new shifter coming from my g27 one (Recently got a MOZA R5).. And everywhere I read the same, "Just buy the SHH Shifter", but I'm from Argentina and I can only ship from amazon, because in my country there aren't options....

So I'm looking to order a shifter from amazon under 150usd but can't decide wich one... (Turtle beach velocity one, Simsonn HS PRO, MOZA HGP, TH8S, generic shifter but can't get the OBB mod or TH8A but I tried it and didn't like it).

I read a lot about them but in the end everyone praises SHH and I just don't know what to do..

The one that attracts me more is the Simsonn HS Pro but there aren't many reviews about their durability and long term usage... It's a kind of a hit or miss like the turtle beach velocity one which seems to have poor build quality.

So I'm working on building a whole set up for my birthday and christmas so everyone can pitch in money to buy it but one thing that comes with that is like a console or pc and I have no clue what to use. I personally like Formula one and Indy car most so I'd love to be able to do something like that but I'm a complete beginner and idk what's best or most realistic so any help would be great cause I'm not trying to have my family spend a bunch of money on this only to not have what I want when it comes to the actual game play.

any recommendations would be great since I'm an absolute beginner.

Since I'm very slow at learning how to drive I thought of buying a 200 euros wheels and Stick to learn how to drive properly in a car game. Feedback would be great because I'm still learning street rules

Is this delusional? Has simracing improved your diving skills? What do you think of It to learn how to drive?

What game would you suggest for this purpose?
