Anyone into Driving Racing Simulators / Simulator Rigs?
Nice.
Just bought myself a cheap Logitech wheel, pedals and shifter to see if I like it. Got Euro Truck, American Truck, Farming Sim, Assetto Corsa and Forza Motorsport to try - just on a single monitor and an office chair.
Will go down the rabbit hole of rig, seat, monitors and better wheel etc if I get on with it.
Hmm, I can see your retirement being pushed back another few years here!
Can be an expense hobby. Things are certainly cheaper for direct drive wheels now than when I had a play about a few years back. Couldn't afford the upgrade from the basic logic tech wheel so gave it up. Do still watch the YouTube racing videos and one day may start up again. Good luck.
I have fanatec dd1 and clubsport pedals. I use HP g2 VR instead of a monitor. Immersion is very good and keeps the rig to a small platform. I built my rig myself using a seat from a scirocco.
I use iRacing 99% of the time. It's great being able to race in safety on almost any track in the world while family are asleep at night.

Been looking at DIY rigs using car seats

Oh dear you've gone down the rabbit hole
Nice! I think I’d end up living in the Van if I went down that route! I already get grief for the playseat!
I have my head and one arm in the rabbit hole alreadyOh dear you've gone down the rabbit hole
And so it begins....
In Euro Truck Sim 2 I am getting around 50-60fps at 7680x1440 with graphics mods and settings on Ultra - for a slower paced driving sim it looks great and runs fine.
The monitors are currently just sat on my garage bench so not in exactly the right place compared to my seat and wheel but the FOV is great and pretty realistic.
Forza Motorsport struggles on max settings and 45fps is not totally ideal for a fast racing sim. Getting about 55fps on Asseto Corsa using some custom graphics mods.
Got a triple monitor stand coming next week and now looking at 8040 aluminium rigs but will likely need a better graphics card too
