The CSL are good for a beginner, but they're still potentiometer based and will be your primary limitation on consistency and lap times. Thanks, you guys are great, i really appreciate the help as i jump in the sim racing world.ĭon't take this the wrong way but, I feel that you'd be better off getting a Fanatec belt driven wheel and upgrading your pedals. But, can the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo cockpit support the Accuforce DD wheel and have a stable shifter plate? It looks like you can get one without too long of a delay (although don't want to think about shipping cost from Europe right now), and if i got a seat from Summit Racing for $190, it would come close to the max limit of $800, would prolly go over it once you add in a single monitor attachment and a shifter plate attachment. Note that i am working with Jeff Ford (FEG) and he mentioned the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo cockpit. Oh, AND it needs to be actually available to order (although i could live with several months+ of waiting for delivery if need be) I found a Summit Racing seat for $180 that looked really nice if i had to buy a separate seat, so i could get a seat for less than $200 USD. Wanting the cockpit to meet the above AND be less than $800 total for the cockpit and and racing seat (if need to order one separately). Shifter = Fantatec H pattern shifter, and need a gearshift plate that is stable and doesn't move around easily (have seen many cockpits where that happens in youtube videos)Īs to the actual cockpit, it needs to be sturdy enough for the DD wheel, and with a sturdy shifter plate, AND it needs to be inexpensive as possible, as my budget is nearing max. Wheel = Accuforce V2 DD wheel ('only' 13nm), so need the cockpit to be sturdy enough to handle it.
Can you live exclusively with VR and have the normal computer monitors 6 feet away?īuying the following components in my current sim racing build: I may need to get a single (3rd) monitor just for the cockpit to have something right there that is other than VR. I figure i can still have a mouse/keyboard next to the cockpit if i get a 2nd wireless mouse/keyboard just for the cockpit. I have 2 regular monitors on my computer desk, but the computer desk is 6 feet from where the cockpit will be. I plan to use VR exclusively, so i don't need space for a 3 monitor setup. I don't have a huge space to put the rig into. The single component i am the most lost as to what to get is the cockpit itself. I am finding this by far the best forum for sim racers (haven't checked out the iRacing forums yet though). I will post the entire build on this site and ask for yall's critique when i finish picking all the pieces. After having been bitten hard by the sim racing bug, i am building a computer + sim gear + VR in the $5K range at the moment.
