Do you have a link to the swing arm? I’ve got a Boeing yoke that sits on the floor when not in use but I’d like to give it a home in the rig if possible.

I remember it well. I thought I’d finish work, build it within an hour and get to racing. Think it ended up being a two evening job @Rusko187 let us know how you get on with it. If you need any advice or help with iRacing too.

I’ve no experience with the last one I linked, but it’s aluminium profile, so I don’t think you’d go wrong with it. The good thing with that kind of rig is you can build on to it in any way you’d like - they’re completely customisable.

Yeah, you’re right. I just checked my order invoice and I paid £750 for the rig and seat 3 years ago. The same bundle is now £150 more. I used Upshift Store for my rig and I’ve just had a look on their site. I reckon something like this would be decent too. https://www.upshiftstore.co.uk/products/r-pro-black-edition They sell seats for ~£250. It’d just be a case of buying the rails for the seat if either don’t come with them. Check out the reviews for the PlaySeat though, they might have improved and my experience of them rattling and falling to bits may be on the older versions of them.

If you’ve got the room for it then I’d recommend aluminium profile instead. I’ve only ever known playseats to fall apart over time. I’ve got this, with the rally seat - https://trakracer.co.uk/collections/simulators/products/tr80-lite-racing-simulator Had it for 3 years and aside for the odd bolt needing tightening I’ve had no issues.

This is important - there’s a larger second hand sim racing market and I’d guess the primary reason for it is people going all in on equipment early on, to then lose interest. There’s definitely value in starting out on cheaper gear, as you’ll appreciate the step up the better gear gives you.

I’d recommend sticking with the G29 whilst you’re getting started, but if it’s a matter of needing something quieter then you could definitely look to a new wheel that might give you that. As I’ve mentioned, pedals are going to give you the edge, however the better the pedals, the more likely you are to need a dedicated rig. My timeline looked a bit like this - - T150 wheel hooked to desk for a month or so (2021) - Bought dedicated aluminium profile Trak Racer rig with bucket seat and continued with t150 wheel and pedals for 6 months. Also bought a Quest 2 VR headset around this time - wouldn’t go back to screens now. - Upgraded to HE Sprint pedals - took a while to get used to them but they were a massive upgrade on the plastic t150 pedals. - Various PC upgrades over the years

Yeah I echo all of this. I’d also add that a dedicated rig means your pedals and seating position are always the same, which can be important with being consistent. I have a T150 wheel, which is probably as entry level as you can get. I’m looking to upgrade, but it’s not going to give me as much as an advantage as my pedal upgrade did. Pedals are king for sim racing. @Rusko187 what set up do you have at the moment, console / PC? If PC, what are your specs?

Susan? She's living with a fitness instructor. He drinks that yellow stuff in tins. He's an idiot.

Right then, all over to the promotion thread!

Not sure how anyone thinks otherwise. Leeds have been utter toilet. Similar to how we’ve performed over the last few months at times. I suppose we all have that gut feeling when we want a result to go a certain way, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Leeds don’t have another shot on target.

QPR haven’t even brought that big lad on that terrorised us, relax.

QPR win this 3-0

Be too dark and they wouldn’t be able to see through their tears.

Off we go

IN THE ATTIC FOR THE VUVUZELA LLLEEEEEEDS. LEEEEDS ARE FALLING APART. AGAIN

Really wound me up that game. All forgiven now, hope they get the job done tonight.

Anyone saying they’re not watching, it’s up to us on Monday etc. QPR two up at half time and I’m on the way to the ground with a vuvuzela.

Vesty break dancing on Vardy’s kitchen floor tonight.

Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this one. I’ve set up a child’s account for my child on an old ps4. I’ve set her PSN account as a child to my own and my account is still on the ps4 as primary. I’ve been able to get to my purchased games on her account and I’m currently installing fifa 24. Question is, if I go on the ps5 on my own account and play fifa, will she be able to play it at the same time on hers? Both accounts have PS Plus, the mid tier one.
