[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16792693, member: 138337"] Update. Replaced my old cockpit with a new Next Level Racing one, big improvement. I was getting too much flex using my Fanatec DD2 wheel base. Also gives a lot more customization options. Still running the same 55 or 60" monitor. Either going to go with a 49" curved Samsung, with a 27" mounted above at a 45 degree angle for the leaderboard/etc...or triples with the single mounted above; haven't decided yet. Unfortunately it's not something you can go try any where before spending the $2k to do it. I thought about going VR, tried it once...wasn't a fan. I'm sure you can get the visual adjustments calibrated so it's more life-like as far as wide angled vision, but to me it felt like with my head straight, it was tunnel vision and didn't represent what I could see in real life without moving my head around. I also worry about having to wear it on my head for any kind of extended amount of time. I also jumped up to a gaming PC so I could play the Assetto Corsa online with mods. I initially bought it because a friend of mine told me the new Ozark International Raceway was on the game so I wanted to get some practice with the blind corners before hand. Then once I got it, I realized that just about every track I'll race at regularly is available, so double win for me! Still getting the wheel, brakes and car set up how I feel more comfortable; there's just not enough time in the day, especially with a bunch of kiddos running around wanting/needing my attention. I did sign up for iRacing and buy a bunch of tracks/cars. I probably won't get into a league or do any consistent races until my actual season is over. Sure, I love running all of the high profile tracks and such on there in whatever cars, but in reality I feel like I can take away more if I drive on tracks that I will actually be on, in a car that is very comparable to mine (all the way down to the power curves). Wire management hooks and a button box are on the way to finish up the current setup. Next step will be deciding on whatever monitor setup I end up going with. If anyone has tried both (49" vs 3 trips) I'd be interested to hear your comparison and why you ultimately went the way you did. [/QUOTE]
