Other made an engine-sound simulator that doesn't take much CPU, here's what the porsche mission s might sound like

367 Upvotes

the simulation is quite simplistic rather than a full-on physics-backed sim like angethegreat's one. this does mean it's cheap to run CPU-wise, this one's running in the browser. which means something like this could be used in sim engines.

lots of engine layouts are possible and sound (to my ears) fairly good, including rotaries! no 2-stroke engines yet. I'm also not quite happy with how the burbles/pops sound.

turbo stustustustu is there in some of the cars, as well as straight-cut gear whine, and supercharger whine in the r53 mini. I'll record some more clips demo-ing these.

the cool thing is plugging in configs from real engine parameters, and having the result sound pretty close to reality with a bit of parameter twiddling. the v10 for example has that major-3rd harmonic interval that sounds so cool.

I went a bit overboard and had too much fun with the doppler flyby feature, and a 'tunnel' toggle. and the silly engine animations.

edit: I am a software engineer and have been passionately creating side projects like this for over 10 years, pls don't let the sloppy ui distract from how cool these engines sound

Clip Real-time cylindrical warping on 800R OLED monitors – SimCurve OFF vs ON comparison

83 Upvotes

Quick POV comparison showing real-time cylindrical re-projection on steep 800R curved displays. SimCurve applies a geometric warp matched to the physical panel radius, eliminating horizon bending and peripheral stretching with zero input lag or FPS hit.

Built specifically for aggressive curves (800R–1000R) in sims that only output a standard flat projection—not needed for flat panels or gentle curves. Free trial is up on the SimCurve website for anyone who wants to test the geometry on their rig.

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.

My rig is not aluminum profile so I am limited to the accessories I can use. Good thing I have a 3d printer and a general knowledge of 3d modeling.

The Amazon gated shifter only came with a cylinder shift knob so I also printed a spherical knob as well.

Rigs Update: TR120 is finally done!

Thumbnail
gallery
32 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….

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

23 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!

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

Post image
17 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!

Question Pedals feel uncomfortable. Can someone help?

Can someone that knows a thing or two about ergonomics help me out? I just installed a new set up moza pedals and can’t get them to feel good. I feel like I’m a correct distance from the wheel. On the brake my ankle starts to hurt on the marked area and my knee after a little bit. Seems a little too close. But the throttle seems like it’s too far away.

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.

Sale/Discount Simucube 2 pro - is it still a relevant buy today?

9 Upvotes

ASR has it on sale for 25% off. For those who have it, or those looking for a higher end wheel base, do you think it is still a relevant buy in 2026 given it was released back 2019 (I believe).

The other I was looking at is the vnm elite/supreme. But I'm a sucker for discounts. What are your thoughts? Not interested in other wheelbases at the moment. Simucube/VNM are the only two I would consider upgrading to.

Rigs 3D Printing Tilting Heel Cups - Who tried them?

Post image
9 Upvotes

On the SimExpo I saw these pedals and was intrigued by the tilting heel cups. Now it may specifically have to do with Coanda drivers using them, given they are the fastest.

I own Simsonn pedals and I like them very much, I see no reason to upgrade. I found this 3D printing file and I would like to know whether someone owning the Simsonn or the Simjack pedals actually tried printing and attaching them. How/what was your experience?

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 Börü. 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

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

3 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! 😊
