You can adjust the height of the shifter by picking either the top or the bottom slot of the shifter bracket, but not much more. You could probably get creative with how you attach the shift bracket bars to the cockpit to get some more height adjustment out of it. Ergonomically, it’s actually very good. Realistically, though, a real car would not have the shifter so conveniently located. It’s a little too well positioned!
Also of note, the Fanatec shifter has its sequential mode selector on the left-hand side of the body of the unit. This means that, for a right-hand-drive configured cockpit, if you lower the shifter bracket, you will block the sequential mode selector. If you don’t intend to frequently change between sequential and H-pattern mode, it won’t be an issue. However, accessing this mode selector when it’s blocked will require loosening the two Allen head socket caps in order to tilt the shifter away from the bracket and then move the lever. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s something to be aware of. If Fanatec had put this selector on the front or back of the housing, it wouldn’t have been a problem. Oh well!
You simply align the holes of the covers with the holes on the ends of the bars and push the plastic clips in. They can be easily removed later. The ends of the T-slot are pretty sharp, so be careful until you have these covers on. They’re still not perfectly safe, but they’re a LOT better.
Advanced SimRacing also includes decorative covers to go on the brackets that attach the bars together.
Aren’t you using voice chat to berate the clown drivers all around you? Or to adore the fans on your live stream? No? Oh, but there actually is a Crew Chief program that not only talks to you, but that you can interact with via voice control! “pitstop clear tires”, “what’s the gap ahead?”, and other voice commands are all available to you. There are even commands specific to certain simulators (rFactor2, iRacing, etc.).
