togmaster Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I'm seeing someone in our club train on it every day. He is progressing rapidly. So much so I'm considering going that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a lot of positive feedback but not a lot of actual results (yet). Yes. When I started using ace I was a c shooter. I’ve thrown up master class runs recently.

A buddy of mine scanned his LO gun then drew it all up in cad and redesigned the trigger parts and put all the files up for free for anyone to download and print. You'll still need the "FCU" to go into the gun and make it complete. But, you need a printer or you'll have to find someone you can pay to print it for you. Where can these files be found? Got a URL?

mellino19 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I picked it up this week finally and the X5-style controller arrived today so the next few nights leading up to a match Sunday I'll be playing this constantly. It's a lot of fun and it's helped me realized full out speed isn't always best, I'm finding the dot better and engaging targets with a better cadence (also getting out of my pcc brain). Using the regular quest controller is tough because you don't index the same every time so I'm looking forward to the change with the actual controller. I did find a store on Etsy that makes mods to simulate the GG flat trigger and the Align takedown lever which will be a nice touch. The only thing I need to do is figure out how to add 20 oz to it since my X5 weighs about 53 oz loaded, I've seen people mention the lead putty and such so I need to see what the internals are like to fill it in.

You could add a WML to get it closer, and I added some wheel weights to the bottom of my grip to get a few more oz. I was shooting for getting close to my unloaded weight. I think I'm currently a little light but it seems fine. I'm also using a 3D printed 2011 for the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention that, I thought about grabbing some wheel weights from work and putting them somewhere inside. In all honesty after getting home last night and getting my hands on the control, the weight is fairly deceiving. Yes it's about 1 lb lighter than my X5 but it still feels good and I think I'm going to just leave it. A friend brought up a good point about fatigue when using it but you could also argue the weight will help as you use it more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togmaster Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Has anyone seen a CZ P10F controller in the wild? If I could find someone to make one for me I might give this game a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fimrire_RongLifle Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Anyone using this with a quest 2? I got the ace controller for q3 and it has a quest 2 option as well. Realizing now I can buy either I was thinking of going quest2 to try it at a lower cost. I realize the ring part is a factor but does it really stick out that much more if at all compared to a racker? I dont have any VR currently and am looking to get it for google earth, Ace and maybe a game or two. Unless Ace has an AR function that lets me use my own range seems like a q2 is enough/ok?

I'm running it on the q2, it's fine. I think the 3 is probably a little better performance wise and sounds like it'll work better if you try to use it outside. But the 2 is working fine and was half the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fimrire_RongLifle Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 thanks...if i find a 2 I might just get that then. trying to track one down. actually bought the controller pistol first (dont have 3d printer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a lot of positive feedback but not a lot of actual results (yet). It's really hard to point to results and say definitively that ACE or anyone one thing is what got you the gains. That said, this year has been crazy for me, between work and a second kid and trying to start up a side hustle. To the point I've done almost zero live fire practice this year and virtually zero dryfire. But, I have been using Ace at night when the family goes to bed. Prior to this year, I was a dryfire twice a day, range time once a week plus matches kind of shooter and had been for years. That got me to GM. This year with really not doing any of my normal training and just using Ace I've really had pretty comparable match performances. If I had the time to mix this with some traditional dryfire and regular live fire like I did a few years ago I think it would really shine. On 6/28/2024 at 6:09 PM, -JCN- said: And how it is better compared to say someone dry firing with a red dot. The thing that jump out me personally is it's showing you where your hits are. For example I know if my shooting I occasionally pull off targets it's a thing I know I do, especially if I push the pace. Typically I don't see it happen because my eye's leave the target early so my brain thinks it saw a shot. In normal dry fire I think this is really hard to diagnosis and fix. In Ace if I pull off a target I end up with a mike and it shows me where so it's really obvious. Stages with movement are really good if you have the room to do them. And if you're someone who finds normal dryfire boring this might be the motivation you need. But, clearly many people including myself have gotten pretty far in this sport with out VR and it can still be done the old fashion way. But I think there is a place for this system so I'll continue to use it and may even upgrade from the quest 2 to the 3 in the near future. Side note, if anyone decides they're going to try it here's a link with a discount https://platform.acexr.com/checkout?via=mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JCN- Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 @Racinready300ex F1 teams use simulators for training so technology definitely has a place. I think like you’re doing, judicious use is a good supplement. I think some people don’t know what they don’t know however and spend time doing things that are better done dry (or in the backyard). Agree pull off at speed is a hard one to get fidelity in dry. The question is whether the latency of this particular tech has enough fidelity to be useful at higher levels of subtle pull off.

Wildfire Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I have had one for a month and can say it has been very beneficial to me. It is great for vision training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
