That's great, glad it was helpful for you! I pride myself on figuring that out on my own and my blue tape idea to avoid scratching the profile. 🤣

Sorry for such a late response, I'm slacking on social. Either way, I don't have the 49" anymore, sold it a few months ago. Search KZbin for '49" vs 45" fov comparison', looks like there should be some videos that cover it, or come close to it. Here's what I can say for sure, the 45" doesn't make me miss the triple displays, the 49" did.

@@joaolarios4052 Sure thing. The side profile on its own is 1,350MM. If you add the corner bracket, plus the rear profile, the total is then 1400MM.

Sorry about the late response, I've been slacking on social media the last few months! 😳 Assuming it was listed as in-stock, I'd say within a week. I've ordered from SIM-LAB about twenty times over the last few years and I've always received the orders within a week. Even the P1X Pro, I pre-ordered it the day it was released, which was on the 29th of September. The pre-order stated it would ship in late October. It was shipped on the 9th of October and I received it on the 13th, just a few days later. Best of luck with the cockpit and enjoy it! 👍🏻

Just got it started building it today u make look so easy😢

Honestly, the P1X Pro is a piece-of-cake compared to the original P1-X. It's pre-drilled in some cases and the V2 style brackets make it a lot easier. Once you finish it you'll realize how simple it was, it might just be a bit overwhelming if it's your first time. Just go step-by-step and take your time. 👍🏻

@@KNARFNY having one of my buddies come help me out that built a rig before im scared ill miss a step and have to restart thanks brother 🙏🏽💯

@@JayTooTactt Just a few suggestions. If you have the space, lay out all of the parts, and hardware. Keep all of the boxes separate as they each have their own parts and hardware. Get yourself a roll of blue painter's tape to prevent scratching the profile, unless you're not worried about that. Once you finish up, get a few ZipLoc bags, and keep the extra hardware in them, so it's all sorted out. You'll have extra hardware for the cockpit itself, pedals, wheelbase, feet, and that should be it. This way when you mount your wheelbase, you'd pull out that ZipLoc, which has hardware sized to mount wheelbases. Have fun and enjoy it! 👍🏻

The BDH H1 is not a 'shift knob', it's a 'shifter'. Explaining anything beyond that to you is pointless. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You've got real problems with BDH ? Have you owned one, had some bad experience with them or something? You seem to appear on many posts saying similar things.

I don't have the integrated, I have the freestanding because I have motion. I used to have the integrated with the 49" and had no issues so I think you'll be fine with the 57". I also had triples on the integrated way back and had no issues, they would just sag a bit. See below pictures for reference. You won't have that issue with a single display, so you're all good. I had the quad add-on as well with the integrated with the 49" and when I had the triple 32", weight was not an issue, even with the old brackets. My 49" Samsung was 32-pounds without the stand and your 57" is 42-pounds without the stand. The new V2 style brackets on the integrated can 100% handle that. If you get the quad add-on for the second display, you'll be fine. 👍🏻 If you need any help, feel free to hit me up on Discord @ knarfny. I'm happy to help out if I can. - - - - - Here's the integrated on the P1-X with the 49" and 32". instagram.com/p/CFxzywRJNCQ/ Here's the integrated with the triple 32". Notice I had black PVC pipes holding up the displays on the left and right. That was only to prevent them from sagging. You won't have any issues like that though with a single or even with the quad add-on. instagram.com/p/CImQozJJ3Qe/

@@KNARFNY dude you are so awesome!! Wow you addressed all my concerns! I may hit you up on discord (in fact might hav seen you on the GSI or Simucube or the lovely dashboard discord). But either way thank you!

@@mannyfresh7065 hey how do i install the seat??!

Every seat is going to be different. Even coming off my original P1-X, I tried to match up all the measurements on the P1X Pro, and it just didn't work out. The best advice I can give is to have a second set of hands to help you out with the seat. Even though the seats are generally light, they are awkward, and having a second set of hands helps out when trying to position everything. It's not necessary though, I've done it alone plenty of times. Personally, I get everything mounted off the cockpit. I mount the brackets to the seat first, then the two pieces of profile to the seat brackets, get it all tightened up, and then mount it to the cockpit. Another option is do that, measure the width of the two pieces of profile, remove them from the seat brackets, mount the two pieces of profile to the cockpit, set the width, and now drop the seat with the brackets in place. In other words, page eight in the P1X Pro manual, skip that step, and mount everything to those two pieces of profile when not attached to the cockpit. Hope that all makes sense. 👍🏻

Glad this video is still helping some people out! I used to over-think the oil, but you're good. If yours took fifteen ounces, the dealer did not fill it. I think it holds twenty, so I'd add a little bit more. I don't bother checking it throughout the season anymore. At the start of the new season, I just drain it, and re-fill it. You'll know if you're burning oil, it's easy to spot. You'll smell it, see blue smoke, especially when you start it up. Their dip-stick is tricky and hard to read but if you can read it, you want the level at the top line/arrow. When I change it seasonally, I generally run it for about 10-minutes, let it sit for a few minutes, use the 'Hopkins Maintenance Tools Siphon Pump' that I picked up from Lowe's, and drain as much as I can. I keep the oil in a container and bring it to the mechanic when I take my car for its next oil change. I then fill it with most of the twenty-ounce bottle of oil. Mid-way into the season, I'll just fill it with the rest of the oil from that same container to top it off. Enjoy the mower, it's a great machine! 👌🏻

Sorry for my late response, don't always get notified. I don't use the keyboard tray anymore because I don't use the keyboard often enough, so I just purchased a mini-keyboard to use. I still have the main one connected, but it's just leaning up against the tower. I use the Rii i4, which is pretty cool. amzn.to/49dGwyp As far as the tray being titled, that's normal. You mean it's 'sagging'? You have to compensate for that with the bracket that gets attached to the profile by turning it. On that swivel bracket, you can't make it 'square', just loosen it, twist it to the right or left depending on how the tray is sagging, and tighten it up. One thing I can say for sure, you really need to make that swivel bracket super tight. Hopefully this makes sense and I explained it correctly. 👍🏻

I am no expert but according to Boosted Media, no difference whatsoever. According to Fanatec, the pro meets FIA standards for use in real-world.

You'll get used to it, there's always a work-around on those two missing slots. For example, the eRacing-Lab actuators came with one bracket, which were mounted using the two bottom slots. The work-around was getting a second set of brackets and using the bottom and top slot. And yes, all P1-X add-ons will work on the P1X Pro. Technically, anything you can get mounted to it will work. 👍🏻

There's also some adapter plates available from most accurate brands as the slot design is more common with brands like trak racer doing the same.

@@MultiDragola can you please point me to one? Luckily my sim lab keyboard tray to my surprise came w adapter for the angled upright

I mention it a bunch of times throughout the videos. It's to prevent scratching the profile when it slides around during mounting. Even without sliding the profile around, it'll still gouge or scratch the profile you're mounting to with the t-slot nuts. For example, with this monitor mount, I had to slide the uprights out, and having the blue tape on there made them slide out easily once I loosened the bolts, and prevented scratching up the center horizontal profile.

You sure can. D-BOX is actually what SIM-LAB recommends for motion on their P1-X and P1X Pro. I don't know if you need any additional bracket(s) to mount, but it's definitely supported. Reach out to SIM-LAB to confirm, just to make sure. They typically reply to emails in less than a day and are very helpful. 👍🏻

@@KNARFNY Thanks Man ! Can't think of anything worse then getting it all and finding out I need to go to work with a pair of pliers and a blow torch!!! I checked the site and the Dbox are sold out, so I'll have to source somwhere else.... Also, I didn't see the brackets that you mention offered for sale? Wondering if the ASR brackets would work just as well, or the brackets that Track Racer sells??

No problem. I just checked the SIM-LAB website, I was curious myself, and if you purchase the D-BOX from them, they include the brackets. 👍🏻

@@KNARFNY That is great! I"m a little gunshy about dropping 10g but what the hell... You can't take it with you when you leave this place...LOL...

That's why I went with eRacing-Lab. I had the D-BOX on my radar for years and was finally about to pull the trigger. Seeing as I really only play ATS these days, it was a hard pill to swallow at that price. I somehow came across eRacing-Lab on Reddit and went for it. I purchased the RS MEGA+, a 6U server cabinet from Amazon, Sim Racing Studio software, and that's it, just about $3K, and I'm pretty sure you get double the travel at 3". Very easy to setup and Alex is very helpful if needed. I also want to eventually add surge and traction-loss and with the D-BOX, I think you'd have to go third-party regardless, but don't quote me on that. I'm no expert with any of this but I love it. My only issue is during aggressive maneuvers such as 'curb surfing' and whatnot, the actuators are a bit noisy. I'm doing some research on that now to see if there is a solution. I've also only spent ten-minutes tuning everything within Sim Racing Studio for ATS, so that might be part of the problem. 🤣

I'll be posting videos within the next few days. I finished up the build about a week ago but was waiting on one last part. The BDH shaft required a different adapter for my shift knob, which I received a few days ago. Just finished up my first test drive after installing it. 👍🏻

Thanks for that. I'm just about done with my full build out on the P1X Pro and will have those videos up soon. Going to work on using my own voice. 🤣 Enjoy yours. I've been loving it throughout the build out, it's definitely much easier to adjust with the V2 brackets.

What seat did you go with? I just bought a Sparco Sprint in red and am gonna see how that feels. Kinda on the fence with some of the cheaper seat options though. Also, how long did your order say "On the way" before you actually got a tracking number? @@KNARFNY

I have the Sparco EVO L QRT. I've had the seat a while, that's one thing I keep throughout upgrades. Currently trying to find a new cover for it though to give it a refresh. Having a hard time, might have to get one custom made at an automotive upholstery shop. As far as the P1X Pro, I purchased it minutes after I received the email about it being available to pre-order, which was on the 29th of September. Pretty sure the website had a message about pre-orders shipping late October. I received everything on the 10th of November.

Very nice! I so so so wanted either the evo qrt or the grid Q but they are twice the price which is kinda hard to justify. Though I was thinking it would probably be something I buy and then dont upgrade for 10+ years if I did go for it. How do you like yours overall for longer races? does it provide enough support for heavy breaking but comfortable enough to sit a long time? any complaints? @@KNARFNY

It's very solid, no play or backlash whatsoever, and comfortable. I do keep it mounted higher in the front so it keeps me 'pushed' back because the seat is tilted a bit. I'm using the SIM-LAB Bucket Seat Bracket Set and the front of the seat is using the top mounting hole and the rear of the seat is using the bottom mounting slot. It's not a very big tilt angle at all, but it's enough to make me not feel like I'm sliding forward in the seat. Funny thing is, I have not raced in a little over a year, I only use American Truck Simulator these days. When I was in iRacing, the seat was mounted to the Next Level Racing V3 Motion Platform, and even with that powered down, it had a lot of backlash, likely due to the springs. I was used to getting pushed back to the left or right when braking during a race, regardless of pressure, it happened all the time. I've 'slammed' on the brakes a few times in American Truck Simulator and the seat didn't budge. 👍🏻

They are the SIM-LAB VESA mounts, the old ones. The L shaped mounts. I can’t find a link right now but I’ll upload a picture tomorrow and link it for you.

Sorry, I was mistaken, I thought I was using a VESA bracket for it. The mount is actually from SIM-LAB, it's their HOTAS mount. sim-lab.eu/en-us/products/thrustmaster-hotas-mount

Sorry, been on hiatus for a bit! Yes, it sure is. I'll be posting a video soon about my motion system and what I had to use to make it work. It was as simple as another set of brackets in my case. 👍🏻

@@KNARFNYlooking forward to trat Video.

¡Hi! Could someone tell me the total lenght of the base, just tue base without pedales plate and seat.

@@joaolarios4052 you can find full dimensions on the website.

I had to select the 'Fanatec DD' option, but it did not increase the price. SIM-LAB offers three options for a wheelbase mount. 👍🏻

Getting ready to set it all up. I've been on hiatus as I'm moving my rig into my office so I use it more. I just finished renovating the room so I can finally start to build everything out and get this setup. 👍🏻

I am not sure if you're being facetious. 🤣 Anyhow, I use 'painter's tape', which comes in blue, green, yellow, and likely some other colors. I use painter's tape because it won't leave any sticky residue behind when you remove it. 👍🏻

@@KNARFNY ok Thanks man 😊

so you leave it on after assembly?

Yes, of course. This way when you're installing it, you won't scratch the profile. Or, if you attach the profile, and have to slide it around a bit, it won't scratch anything.

I also put painter's tape on the ball nuts to prevent them from scratching the profile when adjusting the elements

That makes sense, then the angles on the uprights would match up. Thanks for the tip. If I can help one person with the blue tape, creating this video was worth it. 👌🏻

If this response appears twice, sorry. I posted it and it disappeared. The profile is not laser engraved, they only provide decals. I'll likely add a few of them once I transfer everything over from my P1-X. The only thing laser engraved are the new 'cap washers' they include.

Thank you for the response. I've just contacted Simlab about this, since i see and hear different things from different people. My current GT1 pro does have laser engraved logo's on the standing profile parts. Also i saw another review on this rig where the brandings are present, and i don't think it were stickers in this case. Anyway hope customer support can make it clear for me!

@@grimreaper8038 Please post an update once you find out. I am curious if this has to do with mine being one of the first production runs, which is how I ended up with that angled profile on the side mount. Thinking about it though, I think I'd rather decals, this way I can pick-and-choose where the branding appears, as I'll likely add other decals for Fanatec, Heusinkveld, and some other companies.

I guess it's subjective. If you do a lot of racing that requires shifting, I'd say it's definitely worth it, this shifter is pretty much end-game. In my case though, using it for American Truck Simulator, it's definitely over-kill, and expensive. I try to justify purchases like this. I'll sell my Fanatec H-Pattern and my ATSAccessories.com Custom Style Shifter, so I should get back ~$400.00 that goes towards this, making it less 'expensive'. Plus, in my case, I'm pretty much at the end of my end-game. Once I transfer everything over from my P1-X to the P1X Pro; the buying, constant rebuilding, should be over. See what happened here? I typed out this long comment to further justify the purchase and make myself feel better. 🤣

It's a piece-of-cake. Enjoy the P1X Pro! Don't forget to buy a roll of blue painter's tape! 🤣

​@@KNARFNY¡Hi! Could someone tell me the total lenght of the base, just tue base without pedales plate and seat.

First, this is for my seven year old. Second, if you watched the rest of the videos, you'd see that I returned the Logitech, and upgraded her to a Fanatec DD. Third, there is nothing wrong with Alienware. I got into this hobby when the pandemic started, and it was impossible to get parts at that time. Because of that, I purchased that Alienware with a 2080 Super. That was on my main rig for well over a year without any issues. I ran triple 32" at 1440, recorded and streamed, plus ran ATS on Ultra, never dropped frames. Either way, I eventually built my own system with a 3090 and 5950x, and used the spare Alienware for my daughter's rig. The same for the Samsung, that was my old display that I didn't use anymore, so I tossed it on her rig. Crazy how negative you are, lighten up a bit. 👍🏻

Did you go for the pro or standard?

The 45" UltraWide for sure.

Not if you set up FOV correctly, or if its absolutley huge. Imo a samsung 32:9 49" is still a little too narrow uless its right up your face

There's nothing wrong with Alienware, at least not in my case. I used it for a few hours at a time, I never had issues with cooling. Besides, I purchased that at the start of the pandemic when it was impossible to buy parts, everything was out-of-stock at that time. A 2080 Super was selling for $1.5K alone back then. Alienware was the only system I could purchase on Amazon Prime that was delivered within a few days. In other words, I had no choice. That Alienware is still used to this day on my kid's racing cockpit three years later and still runs fine. I definitely got the $2K I spent out of it. 👍🏻
