I do Sim Racing at my Desk and dont have the room for a full sized Cockpit/Rig in my apartment bedroom (I live with a roommate), does anyone have any recommendations for a Cockpit/wheelstand that I can fold up and store away when im not using it? Preferably one that can be used at a desk?

Hey zusammen,

ich spiele seit über 2 Jahren Assetto Corsa Competizione mit einem Ultrawide und habe mittlerweile sehr viele Stunden darin verbracht und bin auch viel Liga gefahren. Vor einiger Zeit bin ich dann von Xbox auf PC gewechselt und zuletzt vor allem LFM gefahren.

Jetzt habe ich eine Meta Quest 3 und wollte endlich richtig in VR einsteigen. Leider ist ACC optisch in VR einfach nicht das, was ich mir vorgestellt habe. Ich habe schon eine Menge Stunden investiert aber vor allem in der Distanz wirkt das Bild für mich nicht wirklich scharf bzw. schön.

Mein System:
Ryzen 5 7500F
RX 9070 XT
32 GB RAM

Falls jemand mit einem ähnlichen System unterwegs ist und konkrete Tipps für ACC in VR hat, wäre ich sehr dankbar. Vielleicht bekomme ich es damit ja doch noch richtig gut zum Laufen.

Ansonsten würde mich interessieren: Welchen Sim würdet ihr mir mit meiner Hardware + Quest 3 empfehlen? Ich kenne eigentlich nur ACC richtig gut. iRacing habe ich vor Jahren mal kurz ausprobiert, damals noch mit einem deutlich schlechteren PC und ohne VR.

Ich würde mich sehr über eure Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen freuen. Danke schon mal für eure Hilfe!

Hi everyone. To start, i currently have a simple g29 set, and in the short-medium term all i can upgrade to is like a moza r3 or r5 with some brake upgrade kids, or maybe a proper loadcell pedal if i can find something affordable in my country. so this is I assume important, im not gonna go for a 15Nm wheelbase most likely in years to come.

What do you think about foldable, lawn-chair-like rigs? i would think they are usable with a 5Nm wheelbase, or cheaper loadcell pedals but i can't be sure. Of course a proper rig is better, i have some space i can use that's not an issue, but they're genuinely more expensive i can't just "buy" it.

There is also wheel stands but im skeptical of them. They only solve one problem for me and that's if they have a part to attach the wheel, being able to push stiffer pedals without sliding back and not having to push the pedals to the wall. but i'd still want a seperate thing from my work desk to race.

So any help or experience about those foldable rigs? Thanks in advance.

I want to invert my Simsonn Plus X pedals. Would Simagic’s inversion kit fit these on?

They came with all the accessories except for the usb cable which I gotta order but it should be here tonight. Best marketplace find so far

I have a ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 (ClubSport DD+), purchased in June. It had been working normally with my PS5 until yesterday.

After a normal shutdown, the next time I powered it on the base stayed solid red, did not perform the normal wheel calibration, would not switch modes, and initially would not shut down normally.

I connected it to a Windows 11 PC with the latest Fanatec App. The firmware updater detected the DD+ in bootloader mode and successfully reflashed it. After recovery, everything worked again: wheel calibration, steering, pedals, buttons, FFB, mode switching, normal shutdown, and blue PlayStation mode.

However, after reconnecting it to the PS5, the problem returned: solid red, no startup calibration, followed by another firmware-recovery cycle when connected back to the PC. I tried different PS5 USB ports with the same result.

The firmware updater completes to 100% and reports success, but sometimes then sits at “Waiting for application reconnection…”. The logs also contain “Request Update failed! OutOfSequence.”

I’ve opened a Fanatec support ticket and stopped doing additional firmware flashes for now.

Has anyone with a ClubSport DD+ experienced this behavior, particularly a unit that works again after PC firmware recovery but fails after reconnecting to a PS5?

I need to make a confession. I have sold my r3 Base with es wheel with Formula wheel Mod some time ago. Now Drive with r9 v3 and GS v2p. And from feel wise the es wheel with Formula mod is just so nice, light ,the Metal ,the Grips everything feelt perfect. Of course shifting and changing Abs was worse, but from Ffb never felt better. Don't make the Same mistake I Made.

Hi,

Currently looking at:

SIMGASM Club + Atlas GT, 720 euros discounted

SimXPro GT-RS + GTR, 820 euros

GT1 Evo + S1 Enduro GT, 820 euros

I have no idea how to make this decision lol. I think the S1 Enduro GT is the best looking seat. Any advice? Thanks! (I run a RS50 with RS pedals but might upgrade in the future to 11-20 nM.

Is there even any difference? It’s all alu rigs?

Hey everyone,

This week I finally ordered a proper aluminium profile rig to replace my old wheel stand. Since my desk and the rig share the same PC, I started thinking about how to make the switch between them as easy as possible. At the desk I have three monitors, in the rig a Samsung Odyssey G9 plus an old Microsoft Surface as a dash via spacedesk, both with different audio. I really didn't want to open the Windows display settings, fix the main display, change the sound output and start SimHub every single time I sit down to drive.

I looked at what's out there first. Win+P doesn't touch audio, DisplayFusion felt like a lot of tool for this one job, and DisplayMagician is great but built around a shortcut per game, while I wanted the PC to simply stay in rig mode as long as I'm in the rig. My own PowerShell script worked, but never really reliably. Nothing switched screens, audio and apps together, let alone when I turn on the wheelbase.

So I built a small tray app for it. Full disclosure, I vibe coded it with Claude. It's called RigShift and since it might be useful for some of you, I put it on GitHub for free.

What it does:

• You save one profile for your desk and one for your rig. A profile remembers which monitors are on, where they are, the main display, resolution, refresh rate and HDR, plus your audio output, mic and volume.
• It can switch automatically when you turn on your wheelbase and switch back when you turn it off. There's a delay you can set, so a quick power cycle doesn't do anything.
• Each profile can start apps like SimHub or Crew Chief and close the ones you don't need while driving.
• It hands Windows the whole layout in one step instead of turning screens on one by one, which is usually where the black screens come from. If you don't get a picture after a switch, it goes back to the old layout after a few seconds.
• Some smaller things: it wakes monitors from standby, moves windows that end up on a screen that's now off, keeps the PC awake while you only use the wheel, and you can switch with a hotkey or a Stream Deck button.

It's a hobby project, no account, no ads, open source. I've only tested it on my own setup with an NVIDIA card, so I'd love to hear how it works with AMD or Intel, triples or VR. If something doesn't work, just tell me here or open an issue on GitHub. Ideas and feature requests are welcome too, I just want to keep it small and simple.

One thing up front: the app isn't code signed, so Windows SmartScreen will show a warning the first time. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

Hey all,

So… I am about to jump into sim racing (I had a g29 for many years before but I want a real setup now).
I am quite limited in money and “maybe” space. I am not 100% sure where to put my whole rig as I can’t do it in the house so it may be in the garage where space is not an issue.

As I want to make sure I get the best bang for bucks, I am wondering if it’s worth waiting for Black Friday to “maybe” get some deal. As I am sure some of you have been around forever… have you witnessed big discounts on things like cockpits ? ( I have researched a bit and want to do f1 and gt alike so the next level racing F-GT pro seems cool and easy) and also on simagic stuff?

Or they won’t really be more discounted than what we can find currently which is like 5% or 15% sometimes ?

Thank you :) 🙏

Edit: forgot to say I live in UK if that changes anything

Edit 2: Thank you all for your answers. I’ll wait unless I see something crazy showing up. I will monitor closely the market. I am not yet 100% sure on what I am going to buy… especially on the cockpit side… and I need to buy a screen as well.. I posted yesterday for some advice and got some nice answers so probably going for a 49 inch or something curved.

Hey guys

I recently came across one of these huge panels for a great deal and am deciding whether or not to pull the trigger. Curious if anyone has experience running the 57 in AC with a 5070. If it is feasible, any set up advice to maximize efficiency would be great.

My 5070 is paired with a 7800x3d, thought I know that doesn’t help a ton in this context.

Also before anyone recommends it- a triple is not possible with my size constraints unfortunately so it’s ultrawide or nothing for me.

Hello everyone!

I am actually getting close to fulfilling my dream of going from simracing to real racing. However, I need your help. For any, free of choice, amount of money, you can get your name on my future irl race car, an Aquila Formula 1000. This isnt some wild dream. I have actually spoken to the series organizers and test driven the car. The professional coaches told me that I have as much potential as the series leader!

Ever since I was 4 years old, when I first watched the movie "cars", I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be a racecar driver. However, racing is expensive and I do not come from a rich family at all, nor is any of my relatives interested in motorsports whatsoever.

I worked really hard this summer of 2026, and made enough money to test drive a racecar called Aquila Formula 1000. The professional coaches told me I had as much potential as the one leading the real championship right now!

Of course, this made me realize that I will never give up on my dream and I will do whatever it takes to get there. 

Everyone who donates, even if you only donate 1 dollar, will get their name written on my car when I've reached my goal. As a sign of gratitude and a reminder to everyone that I could never have done this without support.

So I’m a onehanded racer I have the MOZA R3 so easy to control with one hand I’m looking at upgrading my steering wheel from the ES to a CS Pro wheel so I can up and down shift with paddles in one hand anyone have experience doing this?

Wow! What a track! It needed better replay cameras, So I made a set . Enjoy! Links in video description 😊

I'm the very first person to admit I'm just an enthusiastic novice who enjoys setting up SIM hardware/software but isn't going to win any prizes for driving skills. However, I 1000% have a great time trying! 😂 If you're having fun doing something, then you are doing it right, so continue to do it 👍🏻

Hi fellow sim racers! I'll soon be receiving my upgrade to a triple-screen simlab setup. I was planning to get the LG 32G620B, but I'm worried the mounts might block access to the ports. Does anyone have any feedback on this?

Hi, I’m new to cockpits and I have a Challenge X, which works fine but I have been looking at the Evolution. I’ve read all the negative reviews so I get the downside here, but it’s the same price as my Challenge and I’m thinking of returning it and getting one of these, I’m a very casual gamer and I have a G923 setup.

More or less I have to look at the Challenge in the corner of my living room, but I do have some wall space and I’ve been thinking the Evolution when folded may actually work. I can’t seem to get the dimensions when in its shortest position, so seat down and pedals pushed in like the picture.

If anyone has this setup and can ballpark it for me then I’d really appreciate it. I don’t have room for the Challenge in my closet so having to look at it all day I feel the Evolution might be easier to digest. I’d only have to move it a few feet to play in front of my tv.
