I just wish my legs would allow me to play, but these days I would only be able to run about 30 min and it's not worth all the setup time
A GOOD wheel with hand controls for gas and brake would be awesome.
Now u r ready for the Trucks
Been using Project Cars. I know he is about to change games for the next even in a couple weeks.That is damn cool, wonder what game they are running. Gonna guess Asetto Corsa with the good VR support and lack of account needed.
Any of you guys have SimRigs? Somebody start a thread - lol
I don't play iRacing but like to do hot laps in Asseto Corsa, and Project Cars 2.
Hey MrMitch I'm doing a league for the winter season gonna be in the Xfinity Camaro I would love to rep the [H], would it be possible to port over one of the other Xfinity liveries to the Camaro?
Glad you mentioned me as for some reason I wasn't getting notifications on the thread! I love the 80/20 setup! I'll send you a PM and have you add me on iRacing, doing a Xfinity Camaro shouldn't be a problem.
I too went a bit overboard and haven't posted my rig since I got the new monitor, Samsung 49" ultra wide

Yup, CSW V2.5 w/ the McLaren rim mounted (junk), I also have the Formula Carbon and BMW rim for oval stuff. DSD CSW button boxes that mount straight to the wheel base, DSD shifter, HE Pro Pedals, the base rig is from 4Play racing that I added a bunch to. Dash is an old iphone 6 with a 3D printed holder displaying Joel Real Timing. The other helper app I use is Kapps for an overlay.
I had triple 60hz 24's (top monitor is one of them), I do prefer the single ultra wide personally. Easier setup, better frames, no bezels and less space. I manage 107 FOV, i was at 135 on the triples so I do lose some valuable space as a trade.
Next upgrade will be an OSW, most likely from simracingbay. I haven't had good luck with Fanatec and just don't trust them to build a DD wheel that won't be junk.
A buddy of mine once attempted something similar with wood, but this sir is awesome!!
How much has that set you back?
I'm finally thinking about replacing my g27 wheel base - I have a custom wheel with a sli pro, but it doesn't play nice with a lot of programs. Already have a set of club sport pedals and looking at the csw 2.5. Should I be looking at something else?Yup, CSW V2.5 w/ the McLaren rim mounted (junk), I also have the Formula Carbon and BMW rim for oval stuff.

https://i.imgur.com/olqdWpC.jpgMy beef with fanatec is mostly their service. My V2.5 has preformed fine but shipped without its accessories, any of them. So after getting ahold of customer service they told me they didn't have V2.5 power supplies as spares so they'd see what they could do, a week later I complained again and they shipped me a V2 power supply which they assured me was the same spec just not the stylish shape. So far that has worked. I never did get a USB cable from them or anything of the other accessories. The wheel base itself has been performing fine.
My V2 pedals died on me, it was a well known problem with the V2's and the hall sensors going, they were out of warranty when they died so I was SOL.
So far my McLaren rim has been running ok but they are dying on people like crazy, I know the new ones are built different so perhaps they've fixed it. Problem is Fanatec uses customers as beta testers. The formula rim is tits however and the BMW rim is great but heavy and soaks up a lot of FFB from the V2.5.
By the time you buy a V2.5 and add a rim too it you'd be looking at $750+ , you can get a Simexperience accuforce for $999 complete, $700 gets you one without a rim and you can convert a fanatec rim to standalone USB if you prefer a formula style steering wheel. Above the accuforce you'll find the OSW which is very DIY and the bodnar which is 3k+.
All that said, now that I can use my V2.5 it has preformed great, I'm sure I'm the minority. On black friday they'll have the CSL base for $300 or the CSL base+formula rim+CSL pedals for $600. Could buy into the CSL system, flip the pedals or keep them as a spare, then if you ever wanted to upgrade from it, convert the fanatec rim and buy a direct drive like the accuforce or buy into fanatec's new DD.
Damn, post is too long.

There’s a 49” ultra wide ?
Model # ?
Well we got the Dallara F3, Formula Renault 3.5 coming, also we get 2 free tracks in Tsukuba and Charlotte roval, and most importantly to me, Day/Night transitions are finally coming.
The 2 formula cars are both a bit of a let down, F3 is going to a new car next year and FR 3.5 folded last year after failing to even get 8 car grids. Would have much preferred the new F2 car also built by Dallara.
The 2 new tracks should both be nice, won't be used a whole lot for the faster road cars, but a welcome addition to the lower classes and free is a great price.
Day/Night I'm super excited about, endurance racing is my favorite part and a dynamic day and weather system will add so much.
Still no new tire model so cold tires are faster than hot because iRacing logic. Overall tho I'm excited for the new build.
Is dale earnhardt jr. still a common face in iRacing since he hung up his helmet irl ?
