A sim racer’s guide to flight simulation in 2026. Which sim to pick, the rig underneath the gear, the hardware that delivers (MOZA, Thrustmaster, Honeycomb, Trak Racer, Pimax), and how to make it sing in the cockpit.
The complete Pimax settings guide for Automobilista 2 in 2026 – V1.6.9.5 baseline, AMS2’s native FFR (and why you turn Pimax Quad Views off), Detailed Grass OFF as the biggest FPS lever, TJR Sim validated per-GPU recipes.
Today we’re taking a look at running Assetto Corsa in VR on a Pimax – which route to take (OpenComposite into Pimax OpenXR, plain SteamVR or SBoys3’s driver), then the Pimax Play, Content Manager and Custom Shaders Patch settings in the order you click them.
The 2026 iRacing VR settings per headset – native OpenXR, native DFR, no OpenComposite, no OpenXR Toolkit. Pimax, Quest 3, Beyond 2, PSVR2.
The 2026 Assetto Corsa VR settings per headset – Pimax Crystal Light & Super, Quest 3, Bigscreen Beyond 2, PSVR2 PC and Somnium VR1.
Today we’re taking a look at Forza Horizon 5’s wheel settings, slider by slider, from Playground’s own guide, and at the values Logitech, Thrustmaster and Moza publish for their bases, including where they disagree with Playground. Fanatec, Simucube and Simagic haven’t published anything for FH5, so for those bases Playground’s guide is all there is.
Fanatec hasn’t published EA SPORTS WRC settings, so here are the tuning menu and in-game values owners have posted on Fanatec’s forum for the CSL DD and the ClubSport DD+.
Moza hasn’t published any EA SPORTS WRC values beyond its built-in preset, so here are the Pit House and in-game settings RALLY Technical worked out on an R9 in a video Moza backed. Team O’Neil Rally School’s setup is here too, as the alternative.
Today we’re taking a look at Simagic’s own Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) force feedback settings for the Alpha EVO range, from the SimPro Manager preset to ACC’s Controls menu, along with the profile that Alvin Wong, who races for Simagic, runs on his own Alpha EVO Pro.
Today we’re taking a look at MOZA’s own Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) force feedback settings for its wheelbases, in the order you set them in Pit House and ACC, along with a different setup for the R12 from the YouTube channel Limit Line Studio.
Today we’re taking a look at the iRacing force feedback settings for a Simagic base, from the Alpha EVO range to the older Alpha Mini, Alpha and Alpha U, taken from Simagic’s own iRacing video, its SimPro Manager release notes and iRacing’s setup guide.
If you’re running iRacing on a Simucube 2 or Simucube 3, today we’re taking a look at Simucube’s own method for setting up the force feedback in Tuner and iRacing’s in-game settings, with the profile I published for my Simucube 2 Pro in 2021.
In today’s post we’re taking a look at Project Motor Racing’s force feedback settings, from what the developer Straight4’s own guide says each slider does to the values Asetek and Logitech publish for their wheelbases. No other wheel maker has published PMR values yet, so it’s a short page, and we’ve added what the patches since launch have changed.
