    That's the MVH Studios F1 style rim for a G29, and yep -- I decided to upgrade to a decent rig frame first and then get a new wheel later on, intending on some Moza gear in a month or two hopefully. Definitely right about feeling more immersed in a rig, feels way better than clamped to a desk and can turn the FFB up higher as a result.

    • @maxtomahawk
      @maxtomahawk Рік тому

      Highly recommend Moza. Have the R6 bundle with the optional clutch pedal and the formula wheel frame added. Updated from the same wheel as you and it’s night and day with how much better of a wheel it is. Hoping you get your hands on one soon brother!

    • @katanamd

      Awesome rig! Glad you're having fun with it. As for upgrades, I vote go pedals first. They get a much bigger return on investment even if it doesn't look as fancy as a dd wheel.

    • @peterrrr
      @peterrrr Рік тому

      As someone who got a CSL DD first instead of a proper rig, yup, you're right. Clamped to a table is useable but sometimes it's a pain in the ass. Especially the LC brake paired with a rolling chair.

    For everyone that has a "wheeley" chair and do sim racing, the fix that I did on my setup was to buy a rubber mat for the floor and it helps prevent the Wheels to move a lot more. In my case was a decathlon Ground Cover mat for a threadmill, it has a rubbery feel.

    Great tip if you race with a pad: Drill into the thumb-pad and superglue a bit of dowel in there, about an inch long. Then get hold of another pad (can be a cheap, broken one), cut one of the thumbpads off, drill out the back of it and glue it onto the bit of dowel. Extending the length of the thumbpad by even half an inch like this increases the fidelity of the controls by a crazy amount and makes it so much easier to do gentle, smooth inputs..

    For those who are building their own rig and aren't bothered with a little work, you could have a comfy seat for sim racing for cheap or an office chair, but that might be a bit more work. Check out used car parts yards for car seats. Just don't go hoping find Bride/Recaro seats for cheap, that's not likely to happen. What you're looking for are commuter cars like a corolla/civic. Go for the passenger seat because it'll likely have less wear and such. From $100 - $300, you've got a cheap/comfortable seat, might want to clean it before use though.
    Just a warning, the seat might be too tall for premade rigs, take measurements before buying seats. Also, custom brackets may be required.

It's a fairly permanent change and so I've never invested in it but it's nice to know it exists. I think I've seen a proper mod kit to make the shifter into a handbrake as well.

Then you can use that to add the rubber bands to turn your shifter into a sequential one. Way better placement for the rubber bands. Worked like a charm. Used it for years in dirt rally :)
