Great to see how your cockpit has evolved, looks like you have put a lot of hard work into it.

How do you like monitors you have purchase? Any ghosting at all? How are the colors?

Thanks guys
About ghosting,yeeh I had read around the web some review that say that the VE248H has some ghosting issues but personally i didn't noticed it!
With a proper colors setup the VE24H is the best monitor that you can get with that range of price(170-250$).

Great setup and welcome to the triple club.

Yep mate,the triple screen gives the simulation experience a new dimension:tup:

 

[Pingwhen]

When I buy a new computer def going to get triple screens. Just trying to keep my game up on what has been used by fellow racers. Can't wait to upgrade. Jelous of your set up right now.

Nice rig mate, looks like you put a lot of effort into it.....well done

What are your thoughts on the DSD pro shifter?

I'm thinking about getting one.....

 

[Pingwhen]

Shifter is worth every penny and more

 

[wajdi1977]

Shifter is worth every penny and more

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++👍👍👍👍👍

 

[CLIFFO_83]

Better than the TH8RS or frexshift?

 

[wajdi1977]

Better than the TH8RS or frexshift?

Better than frexshift? yes becuase I had it and DSD proshifter is much better.
Better than TH8RS?don't know because i never had it!also the TH8RS is a H pattern shifter so you shouldn't compare them.

TH8RS has sequential mode also.......

 

[Pingwhen]

A flimsy sequential mode. The dsd is made to be beat on and shifter with your might. Not an interesting way to use a button.

 

[fatkrakr]

Flimsy is a bit over stated. While it might not be as robust (stiff) as the DSD shifter to call it flimsy is not true. It is 90% metal and doesnt have any switches in it at all. It also does double duty as a h shifter and sequential shifter. All in all I find the th8 shifter to be a quality product that will give years of service even if you do beat on it a bit. I do beat on mine by the way.

 

[Pingwhen]

If you want an h gate shifter then the th8 is a great way to go. But if you only plan to use a sequential I'd still advise thr DSD.

Nice Rig!! Never seen one quite like this. I am running a single screen HD 32 inch. Want to go to triple 32s by early next year.
