    Great review -- this helps a lot at narrowing down which rig to pick. Now I've gotta decide whether to go with a front mount for my Simucube 2 Pro, or stick with a wheel deck since I already have the Simucube Mount for bottom mounting.
    Either way, I can't wait to upgrade to my first full cockpit from my current NLR 2.0 stand.

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  Год назад +3

      Honestly this is a great choice. I love the wheel deck as its so versatile for any future upgrades but I'd say a dedicated front mount would probably be a more robust option. :)

    About the height of the uprights: if they stick up too far, can't just just slide them down a little bit?
    Because the tall feet, there shouldn't be a problem if the uprights extend a bit below the "base" of the cockpit I think?

  • @TaxxR

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying this rig. I'm based in the UK and will have the rig up against a wall like you do in the video. With the shifter on the left, how difficult is it to get out?!

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  День назад +1

      I placed the shifter on the right for the sole reason that it would be hard to get in from the right with it against the wall. The gap on the left where the shifter isn’t is easy to get in and out of but if you switched that to the wall side it would be harder. You can’t get into the rig over the shifter mount

  • @darklightning2k

    I have seen someone mount the monitor mount, the opposite way, so it sticks out the front. Paired with an extension on the wheel it allowed them to get it in front of the uprights and down lower.

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  6 месяцев назад

      Sounds like a unique solution, but a very good one. Would probably be more stable than using an extension behind the monitor to move it forward.

    How would you rate the stiffness of the old P1X with this P1X Pro version? The wheel deck of the old P1X looks much more robust than that of the P1X Pro for example. I find it hard to judge the quality of the new P1X Pro at the moment.

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  Год назад +1

      It could work and certainly wouldn’t look as long or stick out as much. I think you’d need a minimum of 600mm so 650 would be ideal

  • @Handooooooo
    @Handooooooo Год назад +1

    Good review. Some complaints so far that i've heard about that slanted vertical uprights: seems like the monitors may be a bit tricker to slot in? I wonder how triple 27" monitors will squeeze between the front of the upright, but behind the wheel. And, you will have to wait for sim-lab to release shims that allow you to mount button boxes to the front of the uprights, as they will inevitably point down due to the angle (let alone, being able to mount anything, as they removed more slots for a sleeker look).
    However, if you do get a simucube mount for it, i believe you can put the button boxes on the sides of the wheelbase now (as opposed to the odd cutouts of the one-piece front-panel it used to be on P1X Non-pro).

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  Год назад

      Thankyou! Your concerns about the vertical uprights are completely valid. Most importantly, mounting anything leads to sloped/angled mounting like you say. I think a mounting adapter plate is in the works and I really hope when made it ships with the P1X or future rigs as standard

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  3 месяца назад +1

      There isn't enough movement in the positioning of the monitor mount to drop the monitor in front of the uprights. You could use some form of extension between the rear of the monitor and the cross beam of profile, although this would be a modification away from the equipment that comes with the P1X Pro as standard.
      Other fixes could be to mount the racing wheel further back and use an extension between the steering wheel and wheel base, and mounting your seat higher.

      I could theoretically get the monitor a few inches closer to the seat if required so you may be alright. I guess you could also mount the monitor to the mount using spacers to get it even closer too

    Great Review! Helped me confirm my choice. New subscriber.
    I just pre-ordered with the Black Friday deal. I added the seat brackets and slider, as well as the pedal baseplate and slider.
    This should allow you to keep the uprights in a fixed spot and just use the sliders for simple forward and back adjustments to get the wheel perfect (or adjust for different people).
    I agree, you don't want to be adjusting 10 bolts every time to get the wheel right.
    1 negative for me is that I had to purchase my seat from a 3rd party. The U.S. Sim-Lab page doesn't have any seats available currently.

      Thanks for the kind words. Good call on the seat slider. I was very particular about the back of my seat lining up with the rear of the rig which is why I adjusted the actual vertical position of the uprights 😂😂 Yea not sure why Sim-Lab don’t ship seats to the US. I’ve noticed that for a while, must be some sort of distribution issue 🤷🏻‍♂️ Glad you managed to find one though!

    I liked the look of this rig before watching this review. I honestly think Simlab have dropped the ball on a few things. The pedals overhanging or even a pedal plate. Looks dreadful to me. Yes getting rid of the the two slots on the bottom profiles looks more aesthetically pleasing but then it also reduces customability in future after youve bought the rig if you want to add things further down the line. Then there's ofcourse what you already mentioned like the uprights being in the way if you use the integrated monitor mount and the awfully tediuos process of wheel position adjustability.
    From one of the OG's in cockpit design/rigidity. Im a little bit disappointed now. As I've been eyeing up this rig to upgrade from my current rig. As it sure does look aesthetically pleasing thats for sure!

    • @SimRacingSetups
      @SimRacingSetups  11 месяцев назад +2

      I can agree with some of those points for sure. However it is an absolutely rock solid rig. After living with it for quite a while now, the main issue I face that still bugs me is the steering wheel position adjustability when changing between different wheels, having to move the uprights forward and back. However, for many, there will be no need to make this adjustment after the initial setup.
