Any of you cats do iRacing?

All the basics are a go. Just need to tweak final monitor placement and stuff. The feedback from the Fanatec wheel is much preferred to the G27.......I've used with the same cars/tracks before.

At least during practice with basically max settings I'm getting a solid 90fps with my video card (Sapphire R9 290), 8gb of RAM and the rest of a 4 year old compy. Now I just need to get some speakers and work on getting good.

Good stuff, its worth spending a bit of time getting all of you graphics settings dialed in, Iracing is actually very CPU dependent so if you struggle at all with frame rates its probably CPU related. What pedals are you running?

Nice!

I finally got around to getting everything hooked up last night. Still have plenty of work to do. Brake pedal isn't working, and I haven't been able to get my video card to display the view across all 3 monitors. It just shows the same thing on each screen.

It didn't help I'd had a few drinks and it was late. But I'll do more investigation with it this evening.

While Agent is taking the Summer off to do some sort of a Broadeo (pft) I have kept our league going using a slightly tweaked rFactor1 Blancpain Endurance Series mod.

First race was this evening.

I like your setup agent. Nice and clean.

Thanks!

I went with the Fanatec CSL seat bundle.

That way I can also push the seat out of the way and use the computer when I occasionally work from home.

I built my rig to accomodate a triple monitor setup, modeled loosely after this guy's...






...though I ended up going with a single 32", since it doubles as a TV. I used a piece of 3/8" MDF as the top surface, supported almost all the way across (underneath it) by a 2x4. This pic is five years old so some of the hardware has been updated, but it's still the same layout:

Nice! I haven't signed up yet.

Finally got the ram, power supply and new video card in the computer (had to take tin snips to the hard drive cage). Have most of the seat together, but realized last night the table I planned on using isn't going to hold 3 27" monitors unless I buy an expensive mount to put them all on.

So that's the next thing to figure out.

They sent me a renewal offer I couldn't pass up, so I've been re-familiarizing myself with it over the last couple of nights.

So, any wagers on when z31maniac is going to sell his iRacing setup?

I finally quit being a cheap ass and ordered everything yesterday.

I suspect all the computer parts will be here tomorrow. And hopefully the Fanatec stuff will show up early next week.

[z31maniac]

I have, the issues seem to be on products from a few years ago.

I'm not a fan of the G27s I've used.

So it's either G27/Fanatec/Thrustmaster, or jumping up into the significantly more pricey options.

I hear the worst about Fanatec products from people that have had one. Do your research before purchasing one.
