Looking to build a sim rig using a fanatec DD1. Would love some input on any experiences or war stories. Also building out a PC closer to the summer hopefully when I don’t have to fight someone for a 4090 at something close to retail

I’d love to have a set up like this. I’m starting small. I’ve just bought a PS5 with GT7. Getting PSVR 2 in a couple of weeks. I want to get pedals and a wheel soon after

Yasss. The VR thing I haven’t thought of as yet. One big blow at a time

How are you mounting the DD1? I think most people with a direct drive wheel have a sim seat and not a desk clamp.

I’m budgeting for that too. Looking at the play seat pro. Not the one with the cages

I only have a Thrustmaster T300, though I do have Fanatec CSL load cell brakes. Got an aluminum extrusion rig from rigmetal.com to basically futureproof myself when I go DD.

Simucube looks phenomenal but I feel like it’s a little pricier than Fanatec? Even though this whole thing is a treat/indulgence/ birthday present, I’m trying to keep the BOM cost low going so far as to delay a PC build closer to the summer to let the GPU market calm down a little. Will also be doing this on a PC. Been an Xbox buff for years but I think this deserves a PC

Btw bonus points for Canadian dealers and retailers suggestions

I have no idea what any of this means, sounds like you are building a car? Or modifying yours? I assume there are civilian race tracks around you can drive on, sounds fun, send some pics!

Ahh ok :-/
Don’t you guys spend enough time on screens all day? I don’t understand how people today spend their recreational time on another screen, I’m so screened out after work I have to get outside and interact with the real world. But that’s just me, I’m glad you found something you like.

you don’t need a 4090 to play something like iRacing haha. can save money and put it into other parts or a better rig

This is also something i have considered DE1. But im likely making it my primary machine as well. Ie. No more console. So it might serve me for other games. I didn’t consider iracing. But im focused on AC, F1, FM on the sims
