This channel is all about simulation! Car Sim, Commercial Flight Sim and Fighter Jets Sim. We will go over sim builds, components used, best prices and how to get the most of your build. I will be building the sims at my own home and will be showing step by step videos on how to build and what components I used.

Thanks again for a the step by step. For the last part, where you extended the 2 40/40, could you let me know what that measures out to?
Hey I have a measurement video that should Cover this. Let me know if that works for you.
Have you had any issues with your TL platform casters? Mine keep shedding material and get crunchy and fail every month and then they just send me new ones lol
Not really. Also I have not been using the system much due to my schedule. Failing every month is an issue. Have you thought about getting something else than what eracing offers? (For the casters of course) - check PT actuator.
thanx... the one part i dont understand...how does the actuator connect to top frame? to cause it to move?
I have other videos explaining all this. The actuator does not connect to your actual rig. The actuator will connect to the surge platform. Your actual rig will then sit on the surge platform and connect to it via brackets.
@@simul8masterI am in the process of building this rig. When attaching the actuators, no measurement is given for vertical offset so that there is enough clearance from the surge and traction platforms. What offset would you recommend.
@RJCavallo hey - not sure what measurements you are referring to?
Hey it looks great 👍 looking to get the argonn yoke and maybe the rudder as well. Do you recommend those?
Love the yoke. Such high quality and works right out of the box. Have not tried their rudder but I can only guess it should be high quality as well.
@@simul8masterthanks for the recommendation I have just ordered one! Looking forward to receiving it… Do you mind to share where did you get that plate to mount it on the floor?
It’a a pedal plate from trakracer.com
Unless you somehow completely decouple the four buttkickers from each other you will never get that "surround sound feedback" people try to obtain by using this many haptic speakers. Put one under the seat and maybe one under the pedals and call it a day.
Can't wait to get started on my build. Where did you get the plates that goes on the profiles?
Hey ! You’re gonna have s lot of fun. Those plates come with your purchase from eracinglab.
Hi again, I'm wondering if the your rig motion behavior is connected to what FPS you are getting in the game ? on my rig especially in VR when my fps jump up and down the motion get disturbed with a quick jittering and shaking effect. I'm not sure if the SRS software sends data based on the fps we getting in the sim and if it's not good then the motion won't be as well. Thanks
Great video~ Where did you get that powder coated or did you just paint it?
Nope just spray painted.
How did you connect the TL swivel?
I found the measurements for the bottom platform but in another video for the traction loss frames you mention they are 40x120 and in this one you mention they are 40x80 which is too small to fit the TL plates that come with the kit I believe?
Hi @Simul8Master, where did you get these nice closed corner brackets from?
Trakracer.com
Do you have a link for the server cabinet you use for the control modules? Just trying to get all the ”extra details” ready before buying the rs mega. Thanks.

@@simul8master Thank you sir🙏
Thank you so much for this. I am about to get all my parts. This is so valuable.
Hi, love your setup. I am using the LG 48 oled monitors instead of the C3's like you...I have the triple monitor stand from trak racer. i wanted to know how did you mount the screens? which vesa mount are you using since im having trouble mounting them properly
Hey - I went with a free standing 3 monitor stand from Next Level Racing. No one that is attached to the rig.
Sooo How much motion would you like with your sim? "Yes"
Looks awesome. I've been watching all your content. I am looking forward to buying a motion rig for sim racing mainly and some MSFS. I am trying to choose between the Qubic QS210 or RS Mega+. I cannot tell why the RS Mega+ is half the price compared to the QS210; there must be a reason. The QS210 seems very fast and responsive, and you never get disconnected from the simulation or feel like you're floating in space. I've been watching all your tests and trying to imagine how I would feel using the RS Mega+, but you have it turned up a lot for my taste. I will use it with VR and probably i'll dial it down quite a bit. Could you please detail how you feel the motion? Is there any time when you feel the actuators doing something that disconnects you from the simulation, like coming back to position when the travel has been exhausted, etc.? Would you say it is fast and responsive enough to match 1:1 with what is going on in the simulator? Any lag? I am about to pull the trigger on one of these systems, and I would like to make the right decision. I really like the Qubic QS210, but first, I would like a good reason to discard the RS Mega+. Thanks a lot for your time and effort!
Hey! The system has been great. No issues / disconnects as you mentioned. You can play with the settings and tune up/down as you please. Reaction times have been great. Response time is also great. I cannot really advise on QS210 as I have never tried it. I will reach out to them to see if i can get a system to test out and compare. But overall, really happy with my system.
@@simul8master Thanks. It would be great if you can get the chance to compare your system with the qubic one. I am actually leaning more and more towards the RS Mega +, people seem to be happy with it.Ill do some more research before buying one. Ill keep watching your channel, it is very helpfull.Cheers¡
I am almost convinced to go with the RS MEGA+. There is just one last thing that worries me.I heard of people havineg problems with EMI and the RS MEGA+.Did you have any problem with it?.If so, what did you do?.
@skkainet heard about it on the sfx platform. Never had issues on my setup.
Heard about those on sfx platform. No issues on my setup.
@OP .... Question ... what t slot nut size & bolt lenght did you need for the surge rails? I have m6 nuts but I'm not sure on the bolt length i need.
Hey brother…it’s actually m5x20mm is what I used.
thats bad ass
Wow great sim
wow, amazing! would love to see it in action.
Wow, would love see a breakdown video like the one you have for the simracing
I have the NLR f-gt elite 160 rig, and I got the NLR free standing triple monitor stand like yours. However, monitor stand width is narrower than rig, hence stand is way far away from the driver. Did you face the same problem?
I did. If you are going for the whole package TL and Surge, your rig will sit higher and even if the stands are narrow it wont matter.
Eventually I will add motion components as well. For now home depot visit and some DIY I made the stand wider. On your current setup, how high the monitors stand from floor and how far are they from driver’s eye? point?
I may have missed it from your other videos but which parts of the surge platform connects to the traction loss platform?
The surge sits on top of the TL.
I've been waiting to tackle this next upgrade but did see how everything came together. Super grateful for posting your pictures along with measurements. Gives me a good starting point as my rig is a bit longer. Looking forward to the next view. 🏁🏁
First of all, thank you very much for your video series!! It has motivated me to also consider a DIY solution, and all of your explanations have been very helpful. Due to limitations in my man cave, I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have such a wide stand in the back. The TL doesn't seem to utilize all of that space, right? Is it for stability reasons, or can it be narrower? How far it swings from left to right probably also depends on how far back I would mount the TL actuator. I only have 42-43 inches available. Have a nice day!:)
I see that yaw, surge are seperated from pitch,roll,heave on Eracing, If i only want more heave,yaw and surge movement respond more often than others, do you think Eracing is better than 6 dof stewart simulator? Thanks
nice, looking forward to part 2 :)
Ok mate what resolution are your screens?
4k each monitor - so looking about 12288 x 2160
Have tried ams2 it looks unreal on triple 4k screens..😉
I'm thinking I want to build a rig just like you, but it seems hard to build for both race and flight sim. Do you use rudder pedals? Is RS Mega good for flight sim?
I like your well thought set-up. Most people assemble tr160 incorrectly for actuators.
Thanks. Yea I do use rudder. I added a metal plate for the rudders and i can easily remove the rudder then put it back when I want to fly.
@@simul8master Do you put the rudder plate in front of the race plate and no need to exchange? If so, it is perfect.
I was worried about whether i could make the space.
I’ll send you a picture. If you plan it right, you can make the space.
Excellent videos. I just completed my build on a NLR F-GT ELITE chassis. It was a little more complicated than the TR chassis. Regarding your surge. How much surge are you getting? Mine is not very noticeable. EDIT: Also, there is no way I would have been able to complete this project without your videos. KUDOS!
You can tweak to get more - are you using srs ? Did you enable boost?
I am using SRS and have just started tweaking in SRS. Boost is at 5 I believe. I don't see a slider for just surge which I found strange.
At 7:40 you talk about the brackets being installed on the outside and colliding with your vertical profiles - do you not bolt the brackets (or rollers?) to the upper rig so that they surge with it? Is that not how it works? (i'm researching this as im about to order :) ) - thanks for your time
You do bolt it to the actual rig but there is an actuador that moves the actual rig back and forth for surge. So as it moves back and forth, the brackets are fixed in place so if you do not have clearance, it will hit.
Is this 6 dof? Heave,surge,sway,yaw,pitch,roll
5 DOF. You do not get sway. To get sway, you’ll need one more TL actuator in the front.
Great video! Very helpful. I had a hard time finding it, as the title of the video is slightly mis-spelled ("Measurments") and thus didn't show up. Just calling out in case you want to update to make this more visible to the community. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback. Updated.
Thanks for this man, there's not a ton of info out there for this, or it's bundled with surge and I don't want to add surge so I'm kind of just guessing what parts I do or don't need.
You can do traction loss with no surge for sure.
Any tips on tuning or profile for srs for iracing motion?
What kind of spray paint you are using on the profiles? They look good!!
It’s Behr PPU2-17 Morocco Red Interior Chalk Decorative Spray Paint Aerosol and Behr Black Matte Interior/Exterior Spray Paint and Primer in One Aerosol - both from homedepot.
Where is part two Of this video?
So sorry. Planning for it this weekend .
Can you link or tell me what profile you used from Framing Technologies?
Hey! It’s 40 series. A mix of 40x80’s and 40x120’s. Mentioned in some of my other videos. I’ll have a parts list up soon.
What series of profile did you use?
I found you initial video where you explain the components that you bought.
Is the actuator for surge 80mm wide? I'm adding surge to my simlab gt1 evo.
Yes! 80mm.
Literally doing this right now ... just took delivery of the surge & tl kit. Have you built the surge with an extra inch of width or just match the exact frame size? My gt evo is 58cm wide so as per comments above was thinking or ordering the surge frame as an inch larger.
@tomyippeekiyay2781 it gotta be the same exact dimention as the GT1 EVO, 500mm qty 2, 1350mm qty 2 and 210mm qty 2 these are to hold the actuator all of the 40x80 profiles. If you add an inch it won't clear the 4 main movement actuator and it wont fit on the rails.
@FamiliaColl amazing thanks. Just realised from this that i measured the width from the outter edges instead on the inside which is why i had 580mm not 500mm ... phew.
@tomyippeekiyay2781 glad I could help!
Thanks for these videos. I was struggling to find out how to connect the frames and components! Are you posting the Part 2 for the Traction Loss Platform (the lower frame)? i don't see it anywhere...
I am. Sorry it’s taking a while. Planning for this weekend.
Bro, is the bottom platform really needed? Seems unnecessary. I'm thinking of adding the RS mega to my yaw2 and concerned about the added height as its already tall as it is. Can you just add a couple of skateboard wheels at the back bottom like the one on DOF h3?
Are you adding traction loss or your just want the 4 vertical actuators?
hey I have a question. The profiles which you mounted the red actuator cup holders - are they 40 x 120 mm?
Yup that’s right.
Did you get used to the bigger size of the wheel now after a month? I am on a v2.5x currently like you were and thinking about getting a M4 GT3 too when it is back on stock. Thanks!
I haven’t played much since I have been busy with work. I still feel though it is easier to drive and got faster times using the 2.5
@@simul8masterThanks!
Motion sim is the end game. But why aren’t you using VR? It’ll come to life.
hi, for me your motion is way too strong setup. less is more 😉
Superbe job peux ton avoir liste des course pour les rails stp
I see that you also use SRS... I also use it on the eracing lab actuators. I still play around with motion settings and didn't reach the level I would be entirely satisfied. do you mind sharing your settings?
Hello , what is the size of the metal cups please ? Internal diameter Thanks
That is a serious piece of kit! I would definitely move the seat mover to the flight sim or add motion to it. It is pretty amazing! I am building my TL now. Be safe and keep the updates coming!
