How do you like the GT Omega ART rig with your setup? Any issues with flex or stability? I've been thinking of getting a GT Omega rig, just can't decide if I should get the ART or the Titan with a DD wheel.

The ART definitely flexes with my 8nm DD wheel. I installed the accessory cockpit support bar which helped quite a bit but it’s still there. The pedal plate also has some flex and wouldn’t be able to handle anything stiffer than v3 pedals. Switching from the RS6 adjustable seat to an NRG fixed bucket noticeably reduced back movement underwent braking. I’d go at least Titan or, even better, an aluminum profile rig to maximize upgrade options down the road.

Not as much as professional compared to other setups, but enough for racing from time to time while having a bear.
70 Inch Philips Ambilight 4k TV / Beamer Denon 7.2 AV Audio Setup with Magnat Needle Speaker XBOX Series X, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch Some fancy Philips HUE light installation which is connected with the whole entertainment system Logitech G29 Steering Wheel, Pedals and Shifter Playset Red Bull Racing Edition 3D Printed Bear Holder next to the shifter :-D .....oh and we can race next to the M8 Comp.

My simple setup. I share this area of the house with my kids, so I have to keep the rig mobile and push it aside when not in use. Nowhere near as clean or eye pleasing as others here, but it does the job for me I plan to get the belt tensioner setup later this month.

Weight wise, the entire RSR-21 rig weighed less than the NLR Wheelstand. And with the Heusinkveld pedals there’s absolutely no flex on the pedal box. The drawback of the RSR21 is the lack of modular add-ons compared to aluminum rigs. This is going to come down to preference, but I think the RSR21 is more eye pleasing than solid aluminum rigs. Plus the owner of RSR used to do aerodynamics for Williams Racing, so that weighed into my decision lol |

My rig is:
AMD Ryzen 5800X, Nvidia GTX 3090 96GB RAM HTC Vive Pro Thrustmaster T300 RS GT It runs Assetto Corsa and BeamNG with good FPS. VR was a game changer for me. I still can't get over how much immersion it provides. Many times, I don't race just sit in the car(s) or cruise along slowly on the track. Proprioceptive illusion (the visceral feeling) is really a thing too. |

hi guys,
I seen some very nice setup here, I'm actually playing on Xbox X series, didn't feel like investing in a gaming PC yet despite a less attractive choice on console .However I went with : Fanatec DSL DD and QR2 8nm Universal Hub V2 Forza steering wheel CSL pedals and that GT racer cockpit (very standard ) a 55inch TV with the appropriate FOV I went a tad cheap on the TV but manage to keep playing at 2K 120hz which is good enough . Here are some night pictures,and I'm playing mostly ACC. Last edited by lebaaron; 10-11-2024 at 09:33 AM.. |

I am in the same boat as you. I have just started getting an idea of what I want and need. I plan on buying an Xbox x series this winter, maybe I can snag one on a Black Friday deal or something. Where did you get all of the other parts? I noticed Best Buy has some pedals and steering wheels but I don't want any lag when driving. I have a 75inch tv in the basement that I would hook everything to and race on. I would def need a race cockpit for sure but something that can be stored and moved out of the way pretty easily. I plan on using it occasionally and play with my daughter to try and get her into sim racing. I would also have friends come over and play too. So it doesn't need to be best of the best but I also don't want to cheap out and have lag issues or anything like that. Love your set up though!

FOV stands for field of view,you can set it in game settings .
there's some calculator online since it depends on your tv size and your distance from it . For the TV ,if you cannot play 4k 120hz ,make sure you can at least play in 2k 120hz, that's what I have and it's plenty you'll see it's slightly different than Mario Kart 😁 |

Will do! Thank you for the help! Would you get a 50 or 55in tv? I would now probably attach it to the cockpit instead of playing on the big 75in tv.
