I bought the regular prime lite after watching your review a few months back. Also bought the prime pedal plate+ with it. It is solid as anything and such a joy to use. Got a MOZA R9 and a 200KG load cell pedal set strapped on. Fantastic rig. Oh and also used your discount code for a decent discount! Your reviews are always on point. Thanks Karl.

Had the prime lite for a couple of years now. Thing has been rock solid. No complaints at all with it and I have a couple of buttkickers attached that haven't shaken anything loose yet. Only minor issue with my purchase is the seat I got with it. Its very comfortable but as a recliner the joint can creak a bit when applying a lot of force to the brake pedal. Using noise cancelling headphones 'fixes' that issue for me but for those who like a heavier brake you might want to get a bucket seat instead. Suspect this might be an issue for any recliner. To get better simulation of suspension forces from the buttkickers I raise my rig off the ground using rubber squares. These make two pivot points (quite wide so supportive) at the center back and center front between the frame and the floor. This is the only reason I'd think twice about choosing this new R version if I had to choose one now. Not sure I'd want to put all that stress on the smaller profile. If you're not planning on doing something funky like that the R version looks great.

This would be a great option for someone who wanted the rigidness of a profile rig but also wanted to utilize bass shakers. I love bass shakers but I've always found cockpits that use 4080 or larger tend to dull out the feeling of the shakers because they are so stiff. I feel like this would be a great compromise of stiffness while also allowing the effects of the shakers to come through quite well. Great review Karl!

There is no Prime Lite R in US site to this date. I just purchased Prime Lite. It was over $350. With the seat at $170, it's over 500. Then the shipping was $220 lol. I'm new to this and bought it a few days ago when I was drunk lol. Before that, I had hesitated and gaped at the shipping cost. Prime lite was about the cheapest but quality cockpit I could find. Still you would be slapped with near $900 including everything. Just know what you're getting into. I have an old Thrustmaster wheel and pedals. Looking into the set, it looks like I could spend another $900-1500 in a decent set (I use ps4 to play GT7). The cost is nothing compared with my RC racing days but still this is not a cheap hobby. Good thing is this doesn't really have any recurring cost once you buy the rig and wheel/pedal set. That's of course on the condition that you don't go crazy with all those e breaks, expensive peddals and shifter. Seems like most people play the sim with their computer. You can get away with $1000 to get a full set of computer but then you might want all the accessories to put the keyboard, some crazy looking controllers (I have no idea what those are), TV mount if you want, Triple monitor if you want, vibrator under the seat and so on. This could easily become more than 5 grand expense.

The only reason not to use alu profile is if you can't afford it, and this is so well priced that it's a no-brainer for people who don't want/need something more beef and expensive. Alu profile is so useful for mounting all the stuff you don't even think about when first ordering your rig. Mounts for haptic feedback. Mounts for PSUs and amplifiers. Holders for headphones, keyboards, drinks, phones, etc. And it's easy to design and 3D-print custom mounts that exactly fit your kit, even if it wasn't designed with sim-racing in mind. Alu profile looks less "designed" and more generic than other types of cockpits, because most of it is generic, but the things it lets you do and the amount of lets you adjust everything makes it the best and smartest choice. BTW, Karl, have Fanatec sent you that Bentley wheel to review? Nobody has reviewed it yet, even though it's been on sale for weeks now, which is very weird. I know Will at Boosted had the hardware a while ago but was waiting on software, but the software must be out by now as there are videos of regular people unboxing and using the wheel. (I suspect Will has a big backlog, but keep wondering why nobody else has been sent them for review. Like, is something wrong with the wheel?)

@@KarlGosling Totally true, at least at first. Once you bolt enough on, you can't see much of the profile. :D It was hard to understand how good profile was until I had something else first and then started to want to add things that were trivial with profile but really hard with the rig I had. I wish I had gone straight to profile. Ta for the info about Fanatec! So far Corsair seem to be doing a good job fixing things. Fingers crossed they get back on track.

It makes me wonder if someone could make an ultra-budget profile rig using 4040 everywhere - even for the wheel uprights. Might not be as strong as 4080 but you'd think it'd still be stronger than the parts used on the likes of the ART and similar.

Hi Karl. I recently bought the GT Omega PRIME Lite cockpit after watching your great review! There is just one issue. When I went to order a seat with it, I noticed that all the bucket seats were out of stock. Is it usually like this? Do you have an idea of when they're likely to restock? Also one more thing. I like a decently firm brake pedal. (Right around 110kg of force) Are the recliner seats even worth considering with this in mind? I'm wondering since I've seen a pretty big amount of flex in these seats when pushing on the brake pedal. Thank you in advance! :)
@KarlGosling
@KarlGosling 2 ай бұрын
Stock comes and goes mate, running low or out happens fairly regularly but then so does a restock. Yes all recliners flex under hard braking, for me I don't mind but if you're sensitive to it then maybe wait for a bucket.

How viable is it to store this on its end against a wall with the seat folded down and the wheel base removed? I’ve just bought a 20nm but currently have only a WS2. Initially I’ll just turn it down but was wondering if this being lighter might be more viable for end storage compared to the prime light. Thanks.

@ don’t take it the wrong way, I really appreciate your reviews and I just ordered this. For now I’m using the exact base you tried it with, but I have constant disconnect problems, so I might need to upgrade soon. I was thinking alpha mini or alpha, so it would have been helpful for me if you tried it with a 15 something base. But yours is the only review on this so far and if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even know it existed. In my country just the aluminum profile itself would cost almost as much as this thing does and that doesn’t include the wheel and pedal plates and bolts as nuts and the rest. So thanks. It was not criticism just expressing my wishes. :) Edit: Now I'm using it with a Simagic Alpha. In driver at the moment I have it set at 100% power and maximum force 15NM, but in iracing around 40-50% intensity (so around 6.8-7.1 strength setting for the AMG GT3, close to that for SF23 as well). It feels rock solid to me. But before this I used a playseat challenge with the csl DD. That was not that solid, so compared to that it's a HUGE step up. I did try it just for fun set to 100% everywhere, and even than it felt very solid. Hitting kerbs made the connections make a knocking sound sometimes, but I didn't feel any movement in the frame even at max force. Of course it's not that much fun to play like that :)

Not if they are done up correctly, we don't actually push/pull like I do in testing and is why I always show things under normal conditions too.

20:00 when i think of 20+ torques, i think of the optimistic 2 torques that the Logitech puts out, and you can feel that. Then i think of my current CSW 2.5 with 8 torques, and that tries to break my thumbs over kerbs, using that mclaren rim. Thats 10x the torques of the Logitech and nearly 3x my CSW. 10x the torques must be violent and frankly intimidating.

Some observations on my gt omega lite R, After some heavy use I found the mounting cross section loosened of from the upright sections,I cured this by adding four extra internal angle pieces on the top of the cross section to cure this. Another point my t nuts did not seem to drop in like suggested on the instruction sheet and made things difficult assembling if you missed a t nut somewhere in assembly, then scratching the profile when disassembling to replace missed t nut.
