What is the adjustable height from min to max setting?
@TheSimChannelАй бұрын
ok, it's your lucky day... I measured. the thread is 12cm high, the nut-washer-aluminium-washer-nut combo is about 4.5cm tall, so you have a range of about 7.5cm for height adjustments, bit more if you're ok not having the top nut fully on the thread. The minimum height of the chassis should be around 6cm above ground. It's not a 100% precise measurement but that's about it.

FOV police noooooooo. There are so many keyboard warriors already. most online content you just see screen capture with no relation to the users distance to screen. Then it is impossible to know its their FOV is correct or not. Other than that I loved this vid, im setting up acc now as it the only game i struggle to run in VR. I really learnt a lot.

Should i be buying a used set of Pro's in 2024? They are $500 aud. What software do i use to calibrate and adjust them?
@TheSimChannel8 ай бұрын
I'm not up to date on the prices for used Pros in Austria, but the Pros are still a good pedal set today (much better than anything Fanatec or Thrustmaster for example). 500 Austrian dollars is like 300 EUR so that does indeed sound like a good price if the set is in decent condition. Software wise there's "DI View" (I think that was the name), you should find documentation on it on the Heusinkveld website. It's not the same as for the Sprint and Ultimate+, doesn't look at nice, but you set it and forget it.

I don't use the simulator much anymore to be honest, but yeah, the integrated mount makes for the best positioning of the screen, keeps everything compact. And it's the ideal solution for motion rigs as well. I still recommend it, unless one is looking for more vertical FOV.

I'm installing mine now and it's worse than installing a normal seat slider on a chair because you can't get your hand to slide the slider bracket easily with the p1x pedal plates in the way. I have the slider now, it's engaging, but it won't slide. I'm hating this thing already.

i'm replacing mine with casters that have ratchet on them that cause them to also have rubber feet. I have to move my rig around a lot to utilize space in my basement, will see how that goes.

Why do we even use cockpit view in sim racing? In a game, if we don’t have real world constraints, then why not use that as an advantage to make up for the small monitors we use (relative to real world). Why not put the camera above the hood? From the cockpit, 75% of the screen is made useless by the dash and A Pillar. It’s complete nonsense. In “Eleven”, a VR table tennis simulator, you can spawn a new ball into your hand using a button, eliminating the worst aspect of real life table tennis: fetching the ball between play.

Just assembled my P1-X and really like it. I had to cut the seat profiles a little shorter for my Monstertech seat, but that wasn't too bad. Those bracket covers are a real PITA! It has to be one of the poorest designs I've ever seen. At this point, I'm thinking about gluing the damn things on. Just light enough to hold, but easy enough to get off when it's time to check and re-tighten the bolts.
