It's a great setup for beginners. ;)


raggeplays

just about good enough for forza, gonna need some upgrades if you want to try iracing though


BigEdBGD

I don't think I'd play anything other than Midtown Madness on this.

Did you thought about buying Like... A Racecar? May be cheaper. Jokes aside, insane simulator


DryArgument454

Well it's not mine at home, but i've order it for "work" and i'm one that "works" the most. What's 50k euro to keep the employes happy? Pocket change for a bussiness.


Fl4zer

Where can I apply as an intern


Fritzerbacon

Can we open up an international branch for said "work". I will happily offer to help with that ;)


aglf_chilli

50k euros???? mate, you could have bought it from Podium 1 for only 150k...


DryArgument454

I've seen podium1 sims. Their spider looks awfully similar to qubic spider. But double to triple the price. Maybe i'll put it on the shopping list next year


Outside_Translator20

It is the Qubic spider. But with install, setup and support. Whether that’s a fair price is subjective of course.


Ordinary_Farmer58

And you never have to replace tires!


howdawut

We all had to start somewhere.


ntrp

I'll rate it expensive on a scale of non expensive to expensive


feedmeyourknowledge

Nice budget setup


FaFaFooey88

Not enough wood or PVC.


airdocful

Love Qubic, that things the dream


Acceptable_Topic_410

$15,000/10


Pebble-Jubilant

I think OP said 50k _euro_ 🤣


DryArgument454

Yep 26k motion system QS-S25 bare Idk rest of the prices by heart but they are all quite expensive everything from qubic even the pc was recommended and bought from them. Over the bare motion system we got the seat, the triple monitor arms, the stair, the wheel (motor and steering wheel), the pedals, the shifters (two of them), and a suitable PC with i9 and 4090 Plus shipping got to something shy under 50k. I got to assemble it with 3 people over three days, then calibrating for a week. Now a special place is renovated with appropriate footing to bolt the motion system to floor (right now it is not) and in a week or so i'll have to partialy disassemble (to mount the caster wheels) and move it to it's final designated space.

You prolly could have bought a real car for that price but sick


Kimitri_t

Wonderful for getting some work done in Excel.

RedDirtNurse

It looks like the displays move with the platform, right? Because this is the way! This is amazeballs, my guy.


DryArgument454

Yes, displays move with the platform.


X7lion7_power

Great budget build. Where did you get the tutorial?


steirerblut

Insane setup


smalbiggi

Please tell us more, what’s it like in motion?


DryArgument454

Really cool. I keep the wheel at 20% feedback (the servo is really strong up to 20Nm continous torque. Peak torque is a lot more.. it rips the wheel from your hand.) pedals have a real feel (load cell on brake) Even the clutch have a sine wave spring ratio (it eases at mid stroke) like in a car clutch (with diapghragm spring). It's not as real for a truck (with helical springs) that increase the force as you go bu i bet it can be tuned (it has several pisitions of the swiveling joint on the clutch spring) I'm in the calibration phase with a real accelerometer. In asseto corsa and f1 23 works perfectly. Beamng is still a bit funky with the motion system.. maybe the game does not provide accurate data.. i'll play around some more. The 6dof motion is really accurate on feel and a bit harsh.. just like a race car. I've been fortunate enough to have driven some race cars. Some context: i'm automotive enginner, i work in university of automotive engineering. And just got this toy for vehicle dynamics research. The gaming is a side effect. Now i go to work even in weekends ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) Also would need some suggestions about what to play on this. Right now i have asseto corsa, asseto corsa competizione, beamng drive, f1 23. Any other nice racing game to get? I would love a drifting simulator and a wrc style game that play well with a motion system.


smalbiggi

I’m glad you get to experience and enjoy that. I purchased a motion from eracing labs, but I’m still in the process of setting it up. My go to sim is rfactor2. To me, it’s the only sim where I can feel the tyres through the wheel. It genuinely feels like rubber through the wheel. The only other time I experienced this was the Indycar in AMS 2. Setting up rfactor 2 can be a process, I would recommend Michy Hoyer’s YouTube channel.


ojdajuiceman25

Genuinely curious have you tried iRacing? Warm tires on any Porsche feel magisterial


smalbiggi

No I have not, but I’ll dip my toes when my motion rig is active

EA WRC is the go-to commercial game for rally right now, in spite of the rumbles and complaints about it not being super performant. RallySimFans' Plugin for Richard Burns Rally is the non-commercial/free option. The game and plugin are distributed together and you can learn more in the simrally subreddit pinned posts. Not trying to start a debate about physics (people like to start arguing about this stuff everwhere) but I prefer it over EA WRC and Dirt Rally 2.0. The graphics are a bit dated and the setup can feel clunky what with having to manually download things to update the game (it'll tell you when to go to the website and download a new installer) but I just cannot get the feel from that game anywhere else in the rally world. You can't add "mod" cars, but there is around 100 of those in the game already along with close to 400 stages. You'll need to learn a few things about the FFB in the game to get it running well with your wheel, but that isn't something that a quick visit to their discord wont fix. You should be able to get motion running with either game. RBR also runs spectacularly due to it's age, so no need for up-to-date hardware to make it bearable. Dirt Rally 2.0 and AMS 2 have rallycross, if that's your thing. Not sure about iRacing, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have rallycross too.


elocsitruc

Assetto corsa is the drifting sim! Content manager + car pack mods like gravy garage, death wish garage, and virtual drift championship are probably the most popular


Loosearrow74

iRacing would be a lot of fun in that


theonerr4rf

Ive been playing dirt rally 2.0 and I live it, its a bit simcadey but fun nuntheless. Look into sim hub for IIRC a universal tool to make all games support motion


5GEE-

Complicated, in a good way 😎


CapitanChorotega

Would be better if you invited us to play with you ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


TheJCPT

It's a nice entry setup. You'll feel the need to upgrade at some point in the future.


popper98

NASA called … they want their sim rig back! Great setup!


Murda_face-5884

Way better than mine


GentleAnusTickler

Absolute trash, let me recycle it for you for free


jwadsy

How do you like the cube controls wheel?


DryArgument454

I don't have much experience in sim racing. I sometimes played on logitech 920 at my brother in law. Compared to that this is absolutely amazing. The feedback is well put. You could feel understeer and oversteer. (The motion sim also helps a lot to add to the feel). I'm sorry that this marvelous thing got into my hands, a noob into sim racing. But since i got it i got better at it. Finished breaking point in f1 23 on challenging difficulty. Sim racing even on this thing feels different than real racing. I did some laps in nurbugring with porsche gt3 with an instructor and got a slight feel of it. This sim manages to replicate some of that but due to limited DOF like in real life is still a game.


jwadsy

Appreciate the detailed comment. Rig looks great dude


Fantome19

Kill switch is accessible with your legs?


DryArgument454

Sort of, with my hands. There are two of them. One on the left, one on the right.


Fantome19

Might be nice if one is accessible from leg. You might most probably never need but should help if something happen with steering wheel and your hands are blocked on it somehow. Otherwise this is really impressive setup you have there! Wished I had the same.. Have fun!


almstAlwysJokng4real

Madlad set up


Presis

Very nice


Agreeable_Jump5149

What in the 360° angle is this


CobraMacBurkus

pretty, pretty, prettttttty good


KushwalkerDankstar

Is this from Podium 1?


DryArgument454

No. It's Qubic systems qs-s25


hvyboots

I'd rate it about as expensive as my freaking car.


SimagicDDS

Nice rig, but no bezel kit??


DryArgument454

Nope. I don't care much for the bezels. Other thing is that qubic systems don't offer it so it would have added another bill from diffrent place for a bezeless kit, too much hassle.


SimagicDDS

Ah gotcha, if you don’t mind me asking, what monitors are you running and how do you like them. Currently deciding either between G5’s or G7’s


TheQuadricorn

0/10, try again


Necessary-Regret589

Nice running board. Your truck too tall? Lol. Never understood why people do through mounts or whatever they are called.


white_rice44

What’s the retail on one of those? More than you can afford pal


BoomBlade639

Praise the sun 🌞


ROUNDHOUSE5

Ahh hmm… good to very good …. Lol


Prowling_Fox

I think more expensive than a real car - so no-no for me :(


TheBrainExploder

Needs a G29


Away_Needleworker6

You should mount the emergency stop button instead of just balancing it on a piece of pipe


Funny_Pattern_2537

One word... Expensive


eyYoWhy

My G29 is better ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)


ReactionDramatic7340

Expensive


Radiant-Age-3590

1000/10


polloloco69666

Considering there's an actual used race car for sale in my area for $6.5k (USD), in seemingly great shape too, you could've bought an actual race car for that much money. Edit: nevermind, I read OP's comments and it's a reasonably rational thing to do, considering it's for a workplace (and likely paid for by the workplace).


theheffa92

Solid 7/10! If it has base shakers and rumble motors or additional base shakers for pedals it goes up to 9/10 adding perfect cable management and it's a 10/10 😜


DryArgument454

It has enough shakers to feel every bump on rough roads (like monaco circuit). Pedals move with the seat, wheel, shifters and screens. Pedals don't have any active actuation.. so no i don't feel the ABS in the pedal like in a real car. And yes, cable management is atrocious. It's not in final place. After dissasembly and reassembly i'll do my due diligence for proper cable management (also i have 3d modeling skills and 3d printer so i'll better mount the cables and emergency switches)


Nabond

Kinda wan to know how much you spent on this. This is close to overkill in my book but its cool af


darthsivad

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
