I Ranked All The Sim Racing Gear I've Owned 

Moral of the Story: Comfort > Realism

Those flimsy cockpit designs are coming back due to inflation. Entry level is the only option for many.

I bought my G29 10 years ago, and back then it wasn't considered a budget choice. That was my fourth Logitech wheel for PlayStation. As I remember, back then, there were few other choices. It was basically considered top of the line. Thrustmaster popped up somewhere through that period, but I had already been using Logitech products since the mid-90s, so it was a no-brainer. I took a break myself for a few years to be a caregiver for a family member. It had probably been an 8-year span or so since I had looked into any new equipment technology. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling to see that it's still in production. It took me 6 years to shake a screw loose in the G29. 30 minutes and a RU-vid video, and it was fixed. Logitech customer service can continue napping

I have the NLR GT Lite and think its perfectly adequate for something like a logitech wheel or lower powered dd base . I have no issue with comfort, it's highly adjustable for all shapes and sizes of people, and has minimal flex unless you're intentionally yanking at the wheel and slamming on the brakes as if you're trying to put your foot through a wall. Perfect rig for getting started imo.

Those bucket seats are rediculous, there's no way you're going to be thrown out of your chair unless there's a major earthquake but a harness takes it to a whole new level of stupidity.

I used the harnesses without a motion rig. I was getting pain after long races and hadn’t realised that I was leaning forward in the seat when things were getting hectic and this was messing with my arm movements when steering because I was compacting the space by leaning forward and caused shoulder pain. I put the harness on and locked me back into the chair and my ergonomics went to what they were meant to be and the pain was gone and I was steering more smoothly too.

You were pretty spot on with most of it. The only one you were way off on is the fanatec pedals and 5bf you said you hadn't used th v2s. They may kinda look the same as v1s but the brake is miles and I mean miles better. Tbh in mine and most that have tried these as well as the v3s the brake on the v2 feels so much better than the v3s. The refresh of them made them some of the best feeling mid range pedals on the market.

I really enjoyed this video, it's a great summary of different types of sim products over time

I have trak racer gt seat and I put a cushion behind my back day 1 and found it really comfortable

Getting the seat add on to the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 is the same thing as the gttrack, so I’m glad it’s at least not bad for my next upgrade

Great Video!!! :) Couldnt imagine that NLR Seat to be that comfy tbh. I am really considering buying it :D

Young DG was an unexpected but delightful part of this video.

I use a Mini za R12 and all the other Moza stuff with CRP pedals and it's amazing I love it and there customer service is next level

The folding rig slander continues with no end in sight. I really want to see that comparison video.

I recommend that you either go for the Moza KS or the Moza fsr which connect to any wheelbase you like, just remember to buy the Moza hub which gives you the option to use these wheels on different wheelbases like simcube. Tbh go for the Moza FSR because it looks and feels about phenomenal

Awesome video, couldn't look away

Just got my r12 and absolutely loving it

By the way Moza sells a universal hub kit so you can use their wheels with non-moza wheelbases, it's not cheap but if you like their wheel that much it's definitely worth the expense

Nice work!.....enjoyed

Folding rigs improve immersion and racing position. As VR racer I love the playseat (have no room for anything else). CS V3: "They look really nice...." That is the most hideous throttle pedal design on the market 🤣 and I cant believe moza copied it....

Great overview of what you had to get where you are today. The only thing is I wished you would of called out two other sim racers on RU-vid to do the same thing.

Good video DG. Got to say it’s the first time I’ve heard someone use their floor being uneven as an excuse for triple monitors being offset. 😆

Do you have trouble getting your NXT level triples stand close to your range without hitting your rig? I have one still in the box and have the NXT sim rig and it looks like the sheels arent going to get close enough to my vision range because the stand where it meets the floor is going to hit the front of my rig. I want the screens to be just behind my base or wheel.

Folding rigs are great.

Have Playseat Challenge and G29 combo for F1 racing and im super happy!

yeah, i Had a clubsport Fanatec base and now i´m back in Simracing with Moza R12, the DD Moza is better but not much better, using Iracing as comparinson.

Have same rig and that ES1 seat no problems with the rig(let us know if that beefier version actually adds anything as i kind of doubt it besides extra cost) but the seat i need to use an extra pad on lower back so i guess depends on person. I still use old Fanatec belt driven CS v2.5 and don't really see much reason to upgrade with v3 pedals that have simagic haptic reactors.

I use the harness to keep myself from slouching

Holy shit the NLR is expensive for what it is.

Hang on a mo, a triple monitor mount has to do a single task well, I wouldn't say just because it holds monitors but is a pain to use is "good" but passable. That doesn't shout good design in the slightest.

Good list. I will check out the chair. I need a new one this month. I went with asetek prima cos I got a decent deal local. £250 off new price. I like moza, I think simagic are making nicer stuff imo. I think asetek stuff ugly ATM. Pedals look real nice tbh. Just the wheels. Sim racing is definitely peaking. Next step gotta be more manufacturers making them simucube pedals and bringing that price down. £4k for 2 is so damn expensive, I don't doubt they are worth it too. Its hard to buy pedals for a simulator when my car only cost £1800 lol. Its hard to justify £1k for them lol.

Yay new vid from our beat aim racing degen- u meant proffesinal 😅

the harness is for motion rigs

For someone who whinges about barefoot sim racing a lot, the sock reviews are awfully quiet…

Csl elite has 6nm mate not 5nm. I have the csl dd 8nm and my Dad has the csl elite. Yes you're right, it's basically just as good as a DD

I 100% agree with the TR GT seat being absolute trash. Painful. Other drivers in my team with the same seat agree also. The bin is where it belongs.

Whose saying bad things about v3's? I feel they are hard to beat for the price.

Can confirm that Trak Racer seat is terrible. Good list though!

this is the stuff you owned...have you tried any other seat? if so...which and how would you compare with ES1 seat?

See ya again next "week"
