Getting Started

How do i buy the simulator?

The simulator, both commercial and consumer can be bought on our website and shipping can be calculated in the checkout. If you wish to order a custom package, please contact us.

Where can i find guides and documentation?

All manuals and documentation can be found HERE

Warranty. What if it breaks?

We follow EU regulations regarding warranty, the terms can be found here: https://fasetech.com/shop/terms. however, we care about our product and our customers, meaning we go the extra mile and offer 2 year warranty on both commercial and non-commercial units.

If you should encounter a problem with the platform, we will try to resolve it as quickly as possible, this requires us to follow a few simple steps:

 

1. Make sure the problem is hardware related, we might ask to get remote access to your computer via our remote software TeamViewer, we have our own support app that you can get here: https://get.teamviewer.com/fasetech

 

2. If we establish there is a hardware problem, we will ask you to go through the steps provided in the Troubleshooting section in the manual, sometimes it’s easily resolved. You can find the manual HERE. This will also help us determine where to look.

 

3. If it’s not resolvable by the user we will either take the affected part back to repair it at our assembly plant or send a new one, you can then return the old, damaged part afterwards. In some cases you will need to send the whole main unit back for repair. Don't worry, we cover shipping costs.

 

4. In some occasions we will personally come to your location to repair the simulator. Currently we have traveled to the US, Dubai, Bahrain, South Africa and other places to service the simulator ourselves.

As we are both the seller and the production we have short repair times which greatly benefit our customers. (There can be a bit longer times during the pandemic due to component shortages occationally)

Hardware

How much noise does it make?

The answer and other technical answers can be found HERE

What will happen after a 360 degree turn?

After each and every turn, no matter how small, it will seek towards its starting point in such a way that you will not notice it. It's a feature called "washout"

What steering wheels, and pedals, will it support?

The standard mounts made for the RacingCUBE supports Thrustmaster, Logitech and Fanatec hardware. If you wish to use other hardware, please contact us HERE.

Does it support Virtual Reality?

Yes, the RacingCUBE is made with Virtual Reality in mind. We support all Virtual Reality headsets on the market but only SteamVR compatible headsets currently have support for motion compensation which is a must for some users. For more information please see the video here: https://youtu.be/7QeiKjmxdug, or the related FAQ.

How does it feel to crash in it?

It's a bit intimidating to experience a crash at first, especially if you use a HMD (Head Mounted Display). After a few crashes you get used to the feeling, or you learn to avoid crashing.

Can i get a complete simulator with all accessories?

Yes, you can assemble the simulator as you like on the website. It's super simple!

 

We support Flight, Racing and Space simulator equipment.

How do i know my equipment will fit?

We are a company that sees opportunities instead of difficulties. If you have hardware from others than Thrustmaster, Logitech or Fanatec; please do not hesitate to write us an email, and we will make sure that your simulator fits your equipment.

Will it be sold as a DIY-kit?

No, we strive to give the best possible experience and that is done by selling it as a complete solution. (Some assembling will be required)

Why is my Virtual Reality Headset (HMD) "jumping" ingame?

Depending on where your camera is placed (On rig or off rig) you can encounter the picture inside the HMD (Head Mounted Display) "Jumping around". This is due to the camera and the headset working against each other as the hardware is not designed for use in motion platforms. To resolve the ussue you need to use motion compensation, you can find more information in our manual section Clicking HERE.

 

Method 1.
Attach the camera on the rig and blinding the camera (cover it with something). This disables the 3D tracking preventing the camera at jumping around ingame. This method also disables the rotation tracking meaning, if the simulator turns 90degrees IRL, you will have to turn your head 90degrees to look forward ingame. That is why we limit Yaw to 5 - 10% making the rotation just enough for you to feel but you will not notice having to turn your head to look forward ingame.

 

Method 2.
Placing the camera off rig. this will yeld the same results as above, however you are able to get off the rig and move around (also ingame). You might move slightly around ingame depending on the settings of the simulator.

 

Method 3.

Placing the camera on rig. If you wish to place the camera on rig and you do not wish to blind it to get the full experience, you might need to turn down movement on the simulator to a rather low setting. This will minimizer the "hopping" and will give you a more smooth experience with the HMD.

You can see a video where we explain it HERE.
