In today’s post I’m looking at whether it’s worth waiting for the Pimax Crystal Pro, and why I’d buy one of today’s Pimax headsets instead – I’ve got the Dream Air SLAM, and I’ll sell it on eBay when the Pro comes out. We’ll also go through which of the four suits your PC and budget, and who should wait.
MOZA’s Ford Mustang GTD wheel is officially licensed, and it’s for the car fan rather than the hardcore sim racer. I’ve had it on the bench, and the manufacturing quality…
I’ve been enjoying watching CONSPIT develop, and the 280 FR is another good wheel and another choice they’ve given us to customise our sim racing setups. I’ve had it fitted…
In today’s post I’m explaining why I’d skip a wheel stand or a folding sim racing cockpit, what the makers themselves say they can handle, and which rigid aluminium profile rigs I’d buy instead.
In today’s post we’re taking a closer look at the direct drive bundles worth buying in 2026, from the MOZA R3 up to a Simucube 2 Pro, and why a bundle makes sense when you’re starting out on a fixed budget.
Pimax has announced the Crystal Pro, a $1,399 wireless Crystal with eye tracking that you can reserve for $1 now but won’t ship until 2027. There’s no independent hands-on yet, so in today’s post we’re taking a closer look at what Pimax has confirmed and what it hasn’t. For a sim rig, Pimax quotes the full 120Hz over an optional DisplayPort cable and up to 90Hz over its AirLink kit, and it still hasn’t published a weight.
Today we’re taking a closer look at the Bigscreen Beyond 2 and 2e for sim racing, from what else you’ll need to buy to the settings Bigscreen and the reviewers recommend. The Beyond is the most comfortable way to race in micro-OLED, while the Pimax Dream Air has the sharper, brighter picture.
In today’s post we’re taking a closer look at setting up triple screens in Le Mans Ultimate in windowed mode through Config_DX11.ini, why the side screens come out stretched until Multiview is on, and the five numbers the triple screen tool asks for.
In today’s post I’m taking a closer look at the Sony panelled Dream Air and the Dream Air SE, both of which I’ve had on my rig, and why the choice between them turns on your graphics card and your budget more than the spec sheet.
Today we’re looking at Lighthouse tracking on the Pimax Dream Air for seated sim racing and flight, from how many base stations you need and where they go around your monitors, to why an older CPU is better off with Lighthouse and when SLAM is the easier choice.
How to install the SBoys3 native SteamVR driver on the Pimax Dream Air Lighthouse, from the GitHub download to the first launch, with both the Pimax Play and Pimax EVO routes and the settings that matter for sim racing.
It’s been a little while since I last reviewed anything from Conspit, and the CHS, their dual-mode H-pattern and sequential shifter, arrived on my bench as a pre-release sample. In today’s review I go through the build, the fitting (not as straightforward as I would have liked), the software, and a test session in iRacing, and why this is now the best shifter in sim racing, without a doubt.
I’ve spent a good while with three of Conspit’s GT and Formula wheels on my own rig – the 300 GT, the 290 GP and the Max 01. Here’s how they compare, where each one wins, and why the 290 GP is the one I keep coming back to.
