Sign me in, I'll be there

Silverstone is awesome in the dark!

If anyone is running out of buttons, my wheel will be up for sale soon!View attachment 636428

Oooo, what are you replacing it with?

Silverstone is awesome in the dark!

Tell that to my pace

Not going to lie - the Bentley is fierce around here! It's like a scalextric car lol. If anyone wants to try it I'll send my setup over.

GRID Engineering MPX. Got my pre order in last week, delivery (hopefully) February…..

Dual clutch, Otto P9 buttons on the back (the Magic!), All buttons and encoders full RGB, profiles through SimHub. Two funkies, 4 thumb encoders, 5 rotary encoders.

Don’t think I’ll need my StreamDeck as a button box any longer!

Stunning bit of kit, I think I’d need to prioritise getting a cockpit before considering anything like that

DaveCam’s review vid which tipped the scales for me:

Does it come with a boom box to play disco music when you're racing with all the flashing lights?

Mines will be nice and understated! Pit limiter and flags on certain buttons for me.

For those who have a limited amount of buttons, ACC has an extended input option for already assigned buttons:

In my case, pressing button 8 cycles the light stages, holding button 8 longer than 0.5 seconds triggers flashing, without cycling through the light stage cycle. This should work for other actions as well, but I only use/tested it for lights/flashing.

Ah nice, never knew about the button hold feature. Might get the indicators on after all

I’ll check that out tonight

Thanks a lot !

Guys, as we are going to race several times together, I am curious to see the SimRig/Setup of each of us I know we already talked about the ironing boards and the IKEA desks but I thought it would be cool to post our "things"

Maybe it has already be done on another thread but I didn't see it
So here's mine :



Seat : Oplite GTR S3 with the Full Force Kit (used to be an Ikea Desk and a folding plastic chair ( ) ... until 1 month ago )
Base/Wheel : TX Servo Base and Open Wheel from Thrustmaster
Pedals : CSL Pedals with Load Cell from Fanatec
Screen : 32" iiyama (would love a triple or a 49" ultra wide curved, but you know... budget )

Thanks ! And thank you for the link

Ahah of course we want As SwannyUK said, we've all been there ! And I think that if you keep playing with that kind of setup, it shows how much you are into Simracing ! It shows the passion
Keep going and one day you'll get a good SimRig But we'll never be satisfied... I always wanted the thing that I have now, and now I want more
