- I get asked quite a lot what the best simrigs and cockpits are out there to buy so this year again, I made a video explaining what I think is the best hardware out there for your specific needs. I included 4 different categories and suggest a best bang for buck and overall best option out of all the hardware I have tested.

00:02:45 Foldable cockpits
00:06:12 Tubular cockpits
00:10:48 Aluminum profile cockpits

Keep up the good work.
Awesome review bud like all your videos
Thank you kind sir 💙
Shocked this channel hasn't grown more since last time I watched it. I never subscribe to small pages but I liked this one from the start. Just a suggestion - please overlay the name and price of each item you review, maybe just in euro and dollars as I assume your target audience is from there. Cut to pictures a bit more often too :)
The reason are my boring thumbnails and annoyingly undescriptive titles. And probably some other things I have no clue about. But it doesnt matter. In the end, what matters is that I obtain my main objective and that is to help people out and the reactions here suggest I am doing a good job. Unfortunately this video is a wrap so will not make any changes to it but you are absolutely right about the prices. It would be handy I highlight them more. As for pictures... bof... in my general reviews there is quite a lot of video- and picture material I think? Thanks for sticking around. It is really appreciated.
@@SimulatedDrivingResource Thanks for taking my suggestion man! I'll stick around to make sure it happens haha, keep up the good work. There's enough pictures in the videos in general, just this one I wanted to see a bit more and thought others might relate that's all.
*Edit* I think a good video idea would be to make a review of the best, most suitable motion sim rigs. I am really looking to get one but I don't know which one would be best for sim racing. My father has a DOF H3 and uses it for his flight sim but I think simracers use one of those "4 legged" ones no? Not sure how to describe other than an aluminum profile rig on active suspension hahah. Then there's also the prices.... which are a bit obnoxious. Really looking into DIY-ing one but I find no material for that either haha.
Yeah but I also did not want to disclose too much (tmi). If people are interested in a set of hardware, they can check out the review for a 360° image of it. But you are correct because this is the second time I got this remark. I will see for the next video but I like it the way it is to be honest. Saves me a bit of work too.
Haha... No... for 3 reasons. 1)i dont have that type of budget 2)i dont have the space 3)my inner-ear can not stomach it 🤢 Never say never but 😎
@@SimulatedDrivingResource haha fair enough! Do as you like with the editing my friend, it’s your channel after all :) I just had a suggestion because I’d like to see you grow - the potential is there in my opinion.
Understandable about the motion sims. It’s also out of budget and that’s why I’m so interested in DIY-ing it haha
Hopefully the format of the new video is a bit better. I tried to take your advise as much as possible into account. Thank you again friend
Nice to see the Playseat Trophy on here, thanks for validating my purchase haha
I dont think you needed validation after having used it 😏
is it capable to hold a direct drive 12nm wheel ?
@@saren6538 absolutely
i got the playseat trophy and tempted to return it, i don't know if it is my height (6'2'') but no matter how i mess with it my lower back is sore , or my hips are sore, i cant race comfortable, the lumbar support just makes my lower back sore, or its to tight around my hips , it feels like it needs to be wider for me (i am a scrawny dude so its odd)
@@AnungUnRama987 for people with backpains, what is really important is to try and adapt the position of your pedals too. Perhaps a bit less upright.
ive had the g29 wheel for a year so i bough the playseat evolution pro cockpit for my g29 as its compatible amazing seat highy reccomend !
Am not the biggest fan of the Evo but if it works for you, that is all that matters. Enjoy the drive friend 💙
...i'm a proud owner of a SImXPro GT-RS and i do recommend it.
@everyone - Before buying i have some clever tips to share so just DM if need be.
Good stuff man, good video, keep it up! Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words 💙
Just got the wheel base supports for the omega art. Stiffens it up but still has some movement with the r5. Might be upgrading to a 40/80 soon.
You just bought it back (well some time already now) 🤭. Those profile rigs are the summum of stability that is true. I wonder if there are any good US companies that make them. I thought ASR was from US but they are Canadian it seems. Should you do any research, keep me in the loop
Base of the rid is pretty unstable with the moza r5 with one hand on the wheel. Oscillates pretty crazy. Even with the extra supports, still gets a good shake going.
Nice video! Do you know Treq sim? I wonder what score you would give them compared to their competition
I absolutely know Treq. Unfortunately it is not such a common brand on my regional second hand market. From what I can see, the Treq one black which is the closest to the rest of the rigs I tested has a lot going for it. The pedal base and addition of some style elements jump out. I am however on the fence about the attachment of both vertical beams and wheelbase holder. This I can not comment about without testing but it certainly looks very good.
@@SimulatedDrivingResource ik ga even verder in het nederlands, dat de wheel base recht op het frame staat is ook hetgene waar ik me meestal zorgen bij maak, ik ben al enige tijd aan het kijken welke ik zou aanschaffen maar aangezien er zoveel concurrentie is van elkaar is dit echt een heel moeilijke keuze..
@@Nilex2140 Laatste rig die ik heb getest met zo een opstelling, de Trak Racer TR80 Lite, die vond ik 'minder' qua stabiliteit. Ik zou toch gaan voor een systeem waar je ten minste 4 maar liefst zelfs 6 attachment points hebt voor je verticale profielen. Helemaal ideaal zou zijn als de profielen naast de horizontale profielen lopen ipv. erop. Bij de Treq zit de wheelbase houder ook op zo een tray dat dan nog eens vastzit aan een profiel dat verticaal staat. Dat mechanisme zat in de SimXpro X80 die ik heb getest en ik was er niet zo tevreden over. Bij de Simlab GT1 Evo daarentegen voelde het wel iets stabieler aan. De ideale methode hier zou een zware plaat zijn tussen de verticale profielen met daarop de wheelbase gemonteerd. Dat geeft het minste flex, of een horizontaal geplaatst profiel met dan EROP een wheelbase houder (ik denk dat dit principe in de GT Omega Prime Lite zat). Ik begrijp dat het moeilijk kiezen is. Alle rigs hebben wel één of meerdere dingen van wat ik zeg mèh. Maar zoals gezegd, de Treq, die heb ik niet getest, enkel gelijkaardige mechanismes dus ik kan me er echt niet volledig over uitspreken enkel maar de vergelijking maken naar andere rigs die dezelfde mechanismes gebruiken.
What do you think about Oplite S8 infinity compared to Trophy? Cant find reviews of it in English.
Love the design of it. The S1 was not bad. Its a bit more heavy. Would need to test it though 😕
Soft sim are for the faint hearted
Please elaborate
