Triple monitors won’t reduce lap times during practice with only one car on the track. But they will reduce your average lap times in races by reducing incidents. Trust me, wheel to wheel racing is MUCH easier when you can see the guy beside you!
triple 27inch 1440p here, and i absolute agree with you! There is one more big point that is not sad yet. Triples also give you a way way better immersion factor!!! The experiece is way cooler and all. Only quastion i have, alot of people say that VR is more easy to drive because of of the 3D vision you can really look into corners. And i totally agree and understand this. But still all the great e-sport drivers, als Daniel himself or Max Verstappen. They all go for triples over VR. Why is this? If VR is more easy and you can look into corners better.
I think it comes down to personal preference and what a given driver is used to. Then there is the long term comfort of most vr headsets like during a 45 min race and the lack of ability to interact with the real world if needs be with a vr headset on. Triples are just easier imho.
Thats the main reason i want to upgrade to triples
@@MrJoppashoppaAs someone who has had both VR & now on triples, 1: its easier to run (hardware-wise) 2: visually looks better, without having to compromise graphics to maintain fps in vr. 3: much easier for people who stream / record 4: you can see way more around you without having to take your eyes off of apexes or in front of you. 5: you don't have to struggle to find buttons / shifter / handbrake, or your keyboard.
also VR was very fiddly when i was using one, it would almost always randomly stop working properly & i'd have to redo settings or some other bs.
triples i just have to press a button & it switches to my 3 sim monitors.
Triples yes, but note your graphics card must be very high-end to handle the fps load. Take a look at application, INI Sidekick to optimize your current card settings.
About to buy my first proper rig! These sim vids really have helped a load when it came to finding the proper stuff.
Thanks for the awesome tutorials Daniel 🤙🏼
100% agree with everything and the order at which you rank the upgrades!
Everyone thinks the brake is the most important thing (which it is to actually get faster) but with a good load cell brake pedal, you need a solid chassis to put it on, otherwise you negate the benefits of it. You can't use a good load cell brake pedal without a proper chassis but you can use a chassis with a lower end pedal set and it'll be better overall!
I have a "wooden chassis that i build myself with a good car chair in it. But i god alot of back pain issues after a few months. Tried alot of settings. But the thing that really helped me out was your video!!! I bought some seat anglers for my chair and now the bottom of my seat is in a steeper angle and my back pain issues are gone! So you really helped me out! THank you so much for this!
Can't agree more with all of the points, slaying it man. Dope video yet again!
A must see video for anyone looking to upgrade their gear from the entry level. Well done 😊
Awesome video Dan, straight to the point no BS ..
Another very helpful and in depth tips for simracers! Good to see Morad always being kind and patient to simracing enthusiasts❤❤. From my piont of view, considering laptime or to begin with the training, I think Pedals are always THE FIRST THING to consider about, that definitely gives more confidence to focus on my braking rather than hesitating whether its me misjudging the braking point or my terrible braking, that sounds like a small one but I have to say it bothers me for a very long time............when I couldn't find out the exact problem I have, it is literally wearing myself out, cuz if the pedals got wrong on braking pressure or the stiffness setting, I just can't get faster, and I have to stop and do the recheck all over again, it's painful! I mean throughout those mid-low end pedals, either they are tricky to hold braking pressure & less adjustable. But once got a nice pedal, set it properly, it just delivers all of my trail braking smoothly, and that leaves me more attention on getting quicker
Thanks so much. I’m really sure this is going to help everybody.
I went from a belted Thrustmaster to a simucube and it definitely made me a faster driver. There are some cars that I couldn’t handle but going DD allowed me to make more micro corrections for snappy/sketchy setups
This video was excellent. Nice to hear some input from a real driver. Well done sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
ASR Rig and triple monitor mount here. Solid equipment. DD1 mounted and I’m 240lbs. I’m in the western US and ASR is my go to. Good prices and shipping, high quality extrusion.
Thanks for the video. This helps. Been going back and forth with upgrading my visuals or my wheel motor. Good to hear your thoughts on it
Thanks. I think upgrading the screens or to VR will make the biggest difference
Awesome video! Great information, Thanks Dan!
Thanks a lot.
I've done it the opposite way round.
Started with a Microsoft Xbox Wheel for Xbox 360, then a Thrustmaster TX458 on a GT Omega Classic stand.
Then a Fanatec DD Pro, 8nm, Loadcell on the same stand.
Then got triple monitors.
Then bought an expensive Rig - the rig is such a big ticket item, in terms of price, and space, you want to know you're in the right place (living situation) before committing to it.
I went to triple monitor, immediately got faster lap times after getting used to 3 screens. Makes close racing way easier too. Highly recommend
I agree with all of this, but I went with the wheelbase as one of my first upgrades. The increase in force feedback is what kept me addicted to the hobby and ended up buying way more expensive gear than I would have had I'd gone with the pedals first 💀
When someone first tries this hobby they want to have fun, not necessarily the best hot lap, might not even know the tracks. So as a beginner I would definitely consider upgrading the wheelbase first.
Very good point you make. Either way, you can’t go wrong when you upgrade your equipment. I think that it’s very important though to start with the chassis and then you can pick and choose after that.
Totally, a triple monitor/VR headset must come with a PC that can handle it. Which can be VERY expensive depending what you starting on.
Those kind of recommendations depend on what you are starting on I guess. His recommendations make a lot of sense if you factor in lap time and racecraft alone.
If anyome is questioning advanced sim racing, I upgraded from gt evo to the ASR6 as I wanted motion and its simply amazing!!! Love your vids!!
Thanks a lot. Yeah I totally agree. It’s the best chassis on the market.
Great video Daniel! I had triple 32's and just went to the new Samsung 57" Neo G9 and think I may have found the "sweet spot" on FOV (140 without bezels!).
I really want to try that new Samsung 57 inch monitor. It looks incredible. I think that would be the best option. If you bring it close enough to your face, you can get the perfect fov
Glad I found you your like a world oyster of knowledge lol. Two videos I’ve learned several things ima gonna check out your discord here in a few. Thanks ✌️
Welcome aboard!
Adding some cheap tactile transducers really made my rig come alive id do those before a new wheelbase personally
Great video! A lot of extremely useful information I, along with many I know wish we had going into this. I'll be on my third rig swap when I pull the trigger in the coming months, and also changing up the wheelbase ecosystem for the third time with it. Logitech/Playseat Challenge is an excellent space saving entry-level setup since it folds up and has good software support and is plug and play. Moved to a Fanatech CSL Elite with V3 pedals and a NextLevelRacing F-GT. Not a perfect combo but it was a notable upgrade. The seat that comes with that chassis is basically two pieces of a weight lifting bench stuck together to make a seat. Ergonomics are challenging to put it lightly. Next step is ASR chassis and Simucube. Maybe even that cube controls Mercedes wheel. 🤔
That’s awesome. Well hopefully this will help everybody else in the future
“You’re not going to grab the shaft!” “You definitely want something that’s rigid!” 😂
I feel like the chassis upgrade for a lot of people seems unnecessary to upgrade or even consider before upgrading to a DD, but from my own experience i would say he's definitely right about it.
Where i live we have really limited options regarding sim racing stuff, you can't find a single DD wheel base in the whole country (believe me i tried) so i had to buy a g920 even g923 wasn't an option. For my chassis I've designed and build an aluminum profile one and I'm really happy that i did that because you can literally add anything you want to it or modify it however it suits you.
If you are tight on budget or it's hard for you to find sim racing products like where i live don't hesitate to go down the DIY route it's really fun and not that hard, I've managed to add a linear E-break and a sequential shifter to my rig even though i play on a Xbox, even designed a quick release for my after market wheels so if i can do it you can do it too.
Finally moving my wheel to a sturdy chassis made a world of difference in my case
I Use a RSR-21 Wooden Simrig and it's solid as a rock.
And what's great is you can. Feel all the vibrations from the DD WheelBase
Best purchase ive made
That’s awesome. Solid foundation is key
I bought a used Thrustrmaster T300RS with T3PA-Pro pedals. About 5 months later, my girlfriend and I reconfigured our collector's room to make enough space for his and hers desks, so I have a wheel stand, bought new Th8A shifter, new TSS handbrake and Sparco P310 wheel. That all cost about what a lower Fanatec wheel, base and 2 pedal set would have cost me because I live in Canada, and exchange, especially shipping, and customs charges.
But I had a single 24" monitor, then got 2 of our son's 24" monitors, plus had an old 17" flat screen, so I had triples plus the 4th for SimHub, until I picked up a used Acer VR headset. My setup works great for the limited amount of time I get to drive, but also for the space we have - until one of our kids eventually move out! Lol.
I have a few content ideas for you, no charge lol.
rF2 because I'm super interested to see your thoughts on it.
AMS2, also very curious especially after their recent physics/ffb updates.
I'd also be really interested to hear your thoughts on sim FFB not being 100% realistic in order to convey enough information to the user to be able to drive the car properly. You're lucky enough to have a motion rig, but if you didn't have that, or you turned it off, would it actually be harder to drive the sim car with a realistic steering feel vs a sim steering feel that most likely has more feedback input to tell you what the car is doing due to lack of body input and feeling.
Solid reasoning.
I assumed you would put pedals (especially brake) at the top of the list, but I suppose you do need something solid to mount them to if they're going to be useful.
,,,and this is just from a hobbyist aiming for a sports car sim, but if it weren't for the cost, I'd put motion higher on the list, as it can give you what feels like an extra quarter second of warning about what the rear of the car is doing. Also in rally, it communicates a lot about the driving surface.
I didn't want to spend the money on motion, so I went the bass shaker route. If you get that setup and tuned properly, then it can give you a lot of the same info as motion, but for a fraction of the cost. And when it comes to tuning the settings, less is more.
I think rally racing requires a round rim so you can grab it anywhere when it is spinning.
It took a while but I finally got a steady 90 FPS in iRacing with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and a 3060Ti Founders Edition on an HP Reverb G2. iRacing graphics settings are mostly set near high or medium and looks great.
Getting ready to build my first iracing sim rig with VR. Motion or 4 corner Slip angle? Mostly want to feel what the tires are doing underneath me. And VRS pedals or P1000rs pedals or VX pro pedals? What do you think? Awesome video, thanks. Worked for Jack Roush in the 90's and built most of the Dodge Vipers that raced Lemans in the 90's. Won multilabel championships. You perfectional drivers amaze me what you guys can do with car. Worked over seas on Military aircraft, spaceX on there rockets and now NASA on the next X-Plane, X-59. Don't know what I miss more. Sweet smile of burnt Racing fuel or a jet engine light off.
That’s awesome. You’ve done so much in your life.
In terms of motion, I’d focus more on vibration and very quick motion. DBOX gen 5 is perfect for me. It does it right.
Advanced SimRacing sells it and if you used MORADNESSFIVE, you get 5% off the system as well! It’s honestly the best motion platform. In terms of pedals, depends on the budget but VRS or Heusinkveld Sprints are nice. Simucube ActivePedal is the ultimate pedal. Again, discount of 5% off with code morad5 on simucubes site. All depends on budget and how deep you want to get into it.
Man i LOVE sim drifting and racing especially on r nordschliefe / Nurburgring i got a super have duty wheel stand a NLR WS 2.0 all i need is the racing seat add on to make it a whole cockpit it works though even with a 12Nm base on it and it locks my gaming chair in place i got a beast pc and a $1600 dollar monitor that's 50in with all the bells and whistles i live it all and just added a quest 3 to replace my Reverb G2
Just being a bit curious. You talked about catching some corners due to your direct drive wheel motor having a very good response.
With your immense real world experience, Do you feel that at times if faced with the same situation in real world you would not be able to catch the vehicle maybe due to some physical limitations i.e(It's just not physically possible to give input that fast to the vehicle with steering wheel) that you would in the sim racing environment? Really curious about it :) and very informative video !!!
Dont listen to this guy. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Most of these will likely make you quite a bit faster! Jokes aside, great video. Upgrading my chassis, pedals, and wheelbase/wheel made me so much faster, more consistent, and just made everything more fun. Cheers man, keep up the good work
I think the biggest mistake I made was not focussing on my PC’s ability to run iRacing or ACC smoothly in the first place. I went from a G27 to DD wheel + load cell pedals and didn’t really go much faster.
Later down the line (a year or so) I upgraded my pc because I wanted to run a single 49” ultrawide monitor that my old pc couldn’t handle. Turns out this made the biggest difference to my 1 lap ability (the pc not the monitor).
Just started out with a G29 on the coffee table. I ordered a GT omega apex wheel stand. What’s your thoughts on adding the chassis to the wheel stand?
great video 👍
Thanks a lot
hey daniel great vid, love the pov cam set up what elgato mounts did you use to set it up. so clean!
I actually just recently changed it up. I found a new mount that is even more versatile.
YES!! Setup Warz Simrig Edition!!
Thanks man just starting out and I have board bolted to my wall to hold the wheel the pedals go against the wall and I'm sitting on a foldable chair it's a Logitech g29
What do you guys think is better, triple monitors or a 49” curved? Thanks for any advice!
How much would I need from my, in that case new PC, if Id ask of it to show two screens extra in 4K each with moving graphics?
My current one forces me to dial down som graphics to keep over 60fps on one screen. I really hope I could build a dream rig in the future.
The screens them self have gone down so much in price that I think theyd be the least expensive of it all.
Recently bought a Moza r5. Absolutely thrilled about it still. But yesterday I went through checking ffb clipping in various cars and realized I needed to lower ffb strength to about 70-80% total. Now Id like some more strength, but Im quicker when its not clipping. So maybe something around 13nm would suffice.
Thanks for the brilliant video!
How does your POV cam clips look? Because that high position and downward angle
you really should play on the fact you are a Pro driver more, it never gets boring
Somebody told me that same thing 😂. Analytics don’t lie. Especially in the initial growing phase, it’s good to establish that.
hehe good luck, you have some great content. would love to see some 'race a pro drivers times' vids. Set some times in a sim and give all the settings and your time so people can see how much slower they are lol! "Take the Pro Drivers Time Trial Challenge" - there's your title!@@danielmorad
hi, Daniele, I'm Genny. tell me the simucube active brake, having more software to manage, has a higher latency, therefore less performance? or it's a really good pedal.
How long ago were you using the Logitech wheel and what kind of racing were you doing in real life at the time?
Do you have a full rig rundown, with the exact brands/models of equipment used, including computer specs? Thanks. 😊
I wish I hadn't seen this video... such an accurate and expensive research for a truly realistic setup... Yet I still don't understand why you have to use pedals without shoes in 2023.
Evidently that pedal set has some problem or the realism sought on braking has some problem and you manage to explain it to me?
CIAO
Great video! What screens do you use? I'm currently looking into upgrading to triple screens (most likely 32'' WQHD) and I'm a bit puzzled by what is available. Any suggestions around the €300 mark per screen?
Dell G3223D worth checking. Be aware that to power up 3x 2560x1440 RTX3080 IS MINIMUM card. Honestly to get nice details and not be bothered with many compromises 4090 is needed.
@bjoernadebahr I know their 32in amd only 1080p
@@Zenek-403080 is more than enough for 1440p wouldn't call it minimum as a friend has the 3070ti and gets good for at 1440p. On my 3080 suprim x I get around 70fps on high settings on iracing and once the first half a lap or so is over I can get between 70fps and over 150fps track dependent but there are certain tracks like Daytona that tank me a bit its more to do with my CPU being the 9900k if I had a 13900k with my 3080 as another friend has I know my FPS would be much better on most tracks.
@@Simlife101 yes ok , I was thinking about ACC which is much more hungry for resources.
Nice!!! Thanks!! Wich wheel are you using? It’s not the grid?
It’s precision sim engineering LM-X wheel
Great video, im at that phase where i need to buy my first rig, and of course i will go for an aluminium profile where i can grow into.. and also need to buy the gear.. simagic or simucube, or fanatec DD? maybe something between 10nm and 14nm is enough..
btw you are missing a 'om' in your 'PRECISION SIM ENGINEERING' URL
Thank you very much for pointing out the issue. Also, simucube is ultimately the best if you can swing it. I’d avoid Fanatec tbh.
I'm on a g920 rn, and I desperately need to upgrade but what would I upgrade to? I'm not sure I want to make a huge jump in price but thrustmaster don't seem worth it, should I just bite the bullet and go fanatec or something similar?
What's the thing that joins the monitors to make it look seemless? I've seen it on many 3 monitors set-ups but no ones says what they are.
Do you think it's better if I upgrade the pedals to Simjack pro Loadcell or buy a new drift steering wheel and gloves? The pedals I use are Thrustmaster T3PM
Hope you’re feeling better
Feeling great, thanks
Should I upgrade my PC before going to triples? Or is triples easy to run?
I have managed to get my VR headset to stay at a consistent 120fps. only downside to VR for me is not having that peripheral vison to see guys next to you.
VR has come a long way. You can get a very steady 90 fps with a decent computer now. I don't think you need more than 90 fps for sim racing. But it seems like you're commited and happy with triples and like you said, it makes more sense for streaming and engaging with your viewers. But I just want it to get it out there for people who are contemplating VR vs triples.
You’re absolutely right about that. Some tracks you still struggle though for FPS
With all due respect, I agree with Koi. I run a Reverb G2 using an RTX4090 and a Ryzen 5800x. I am able to run the graphics at a very high level with self shadowing even in VR without dipping below 90 fps at any track. Occasionally I am CPU limited for replays but if you take the time, one can dial in lovely smoothness. OpenXR and the OpenXR toolkit helps a bunch.
@@danielmorad That's iRacing and it's miserable optimizations. Looks like you get FPS-drops with Triples as well. In so many videos I saw a graphics-delay with triples means, that the graphical wheel is lagging behind the physical. I never had that with my 49"-displays and with TrackIR I can looks around even more than with triples...
@@richardhodge3310 completely agree with you mate. I also run VR exclusively on iRacing. Specs include i7 12700KF with an RTX 3080 Ti, along with the help of OpenXR and OpenXR Toolkit you will be able to achieve a consistent 90fps. When I switched from WMR to OpenXR that was the game changer. To help with comfort, having a Wind/Speed simulator to add that bit of tactile feedback to give your brain that sense of movement but also keeps you comfortable and cool for extended racing. Buttkickers also help add to that comfort and immersion. VR has definitely come along way even in regards to clarity. Thanks for the list @danielmorad.
Thats what you think until you race at 150 fps consistently, 90 FPS starts to feel like slow motion
Awesome video, I got a question, I'm gonna upgrade my pedal from the Meca Cup1 to hydraulic pedals I got 2 in mind the Racewerk S1 Pro and the Ricmotech Recegear Gt3pro3, what do think about these 2 pedal the reason I choose them is both are clutch and brake hydraulic and quality, but can't decide, can you let me know what u think?, and btw can you tell the canadian postal service to hurry up with my future racer gloves and orage sim socks, lol😂
First of all, that’s too funny about the Canadian Postal Service. They can be slow sometimes. I wish I could deliver them myself because they get there a lot quicker.
I don’t have a lot of experience with those petals, but I do know that I’ve tried some hydraulic pedals before, and, as good as they seem like they should be, I always felt like I had better control with Heusinkveld Ultimates. But now that I have the simucube active pedal brake and passive throttle, it’s a game changer. I can’t use anything else. Spoiled now!
@@danielmorad yup the gloves and socks still in Toronto and they r coming to Puerto Rico do they got lots to go, anyways yeah I wish I could get the active pedals, hey what is difference between the simucube active pedal and active pedal add on they seen the same but the add on is cheaper?
I’m planning on welding my own chassis. I’m 6 foot 2 I play Gran Turismo and various other racing games. I have a single screen due to space and a vr headset. What can I do for design. I have a welder
What is your opinion on buying a DDU such as the Grid unit as an example. I'm in the process of buying my first sim rig and picking all of my parts. I'm going high end (but not wanting to burn money for little to no benefit 🙂 ) Thanks all
If I wanted to get a budget rig, pedals and wheel in 2023, what would be a decent yet cheap combo for someone going from a G29 and a desk?
Great video mate.
Go for an ASR 3 or ASR 4 tbh. Invest one time in a good chassis and then you can get something like a moza steering wheel and pedals.
Going from a desk, your existing gear will already feel better. Don’t forget to use the code for ASR. It’s in the bio.
@@danielmorad Thanks mate, had a look at ASR, will do. Might be what I need to finally get that last sec on iRacing. Your videos help me bridge the gap, thanks again bud.
Hey Daniel, hypothetically if vr had stable maxed fps and the clarity of monitors would you say it could be a better training peripheral than triples?
It would absolutely be the way to go. I find that it gives you so much depth perception and a lot more connection to the real car. Because I am using it as a multipurpose set up for streaming and training, I am using triple monitors.
I mean, my quest 3 is getting pretty damn close now. Will probably be pretty big in a few years
At what juncture should one get a rig? Recreational sim drivers?
I dont race but i do practice car control in the sim, just for fun, is a seat and rig the right choice for me? I got a load cell and wheel im happpy with. Still necessary?
By the way by rig I meant cockpit 🙂
If you have a wheel and pedals already, getting a cockpit is a no-brainer. It will transform the feeling of what you have completely. If you don’t want to spend a lot, you can look at something like an ASR3 perhaps and bolt the kit you have now onto it.
This is great information. I'm trying to understand the wheel base a little more. From what i understand they have a kind of refresh rate on them aka How much information you get per second Sent to the wheel makes a big difference, so you can feel the road better. I've seen that refresh rate tested by a few SIM racing CZcamsrs. I'm hoping they make something for the PlayStation to help it get a better refresh rate from the wheel.. Or is it part of the PlayStation hardware or software That limits it from getting a better refresh rate? Would anyone know ?
From my understanding, moza is currently the best for PS5 but if you want the ultimate experience, play iRacing on PC. Best sim currently. Others are pushing to close the gap but for now, it’s the best all around. Then you use a simucube base with that. It’s insane to feel the difference.
Do you think foldable cockpits such as the Playseat Challenge and the NLR GT Lite Pro are worth the money? I currently use a G920 on a desk that is pretty unstable so looking to improve on that. Thanks!
It’s not really worth it. I never liked those foldable ones. If you can skip that step and go straight to a profile rig, you will thank yourself.
@danielmorad The only problem is that I don't have the space for a full rig. Even if it is on caster wheels. I currently race in my small bedroom, and there isn't much room to begin with, let alone with the space taken up by my furniture. Instead, I was possibly also thinking about a wheel stand. What do you think of those wheelstands that can expand into a rig, such as the Next Level Racing Wheelstand 2.0? Do you think that it would be a better option?
@oreoking9513 the foldable are absolutely worth it. I've used a playseat challenge for 2 years and it's been awesome for me. I just recently upgraded to a playseat trophy. If space is an issue the foldable is absolutely worth it and it's miles above using a desk mount.
@aj6761 Awesome, thanks, man! I really appreciate your advice! Would you recommend getting a playseat challenge, or should I look at the offerings from Next Level Racing such as the FGT Lite or the GT Lite Pro?
@@oreoking9513 look at the playseat challenge X. If I was to get a foldable today, it'd be that one.
Is the accelerator pedal also active and where do you get the pedal attachments? Thanks for your great videos. Best regards
I used to have an active throttle pedal, but I switch to the Simucube Passive throttle. I liked the mechanical, feel a lot more for the throttle. In terms of the brake pedal, I’m in love with the active pedal.
Simcore pedal plates by the way
@@danielmorad Thanks for the quick reply. That's a shame. I thought the resistance could be simulated by a throttle valve. Especially with the various car profiles that will still exist or already exist.
Hi, tried to place orders from your website with some customization. My Country Nigeria is not available on the website for either the flag or for shipping.
How much of an impact would you say loadcells would make? Currently 4k iR with logitech g920 pedals, but I dont wanna pull the trigger if I am only gonna gain a few hundred rating.
Load cell pedals don't necessarily make you faster in itself, but they help you maintain better consistency, which then leads you to becoming faster through muscle memory. The thing about them though is you need a solid platform to put them on, like a chassis. Otherwise, you're not going to be able to press with the pressure you need for braking accuracy.
New equipment will not give you magic grip, but it will make you more consistent and overall, I think it does end up delivering more consistency from corner to corner, which will lead to consistently faster laptops not just a fast lap here and there. I have driven on G 29 petals and I could be semi competitive but it was a lot more difficult to hit my marks every time with precision
11:06 That's what SHE said!😂 I'm getting old. I need Plug and Play, more than I do top of the line. I'm on ps5, so I think I'm going to stick with Logitech . Been happy with their products for 30 years. I've been holding out on Triple monitors, because the frame is going to bother me. Curved monitors are here, and I know seamless composite LCD screens are available.. I just haven't seen it yet. Curved and seamless appears to be what you have. I see the bezel on the outside, but there doesn't appear to be one at all to the right. What kind of monitors are you using? And, do you think an old play seat like you started with will handle a DD wheel upgrade? I haven't touched the DD yet, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'd rather not have to weld it solid LOL
Great advice for chassis l... I fear however we will always continue to see people slapping dd wheelbase on the playseat challenge 😅
Don’t knock it. I have a Simucube sport on a modded Playseat Challenge abs have just added Active Pedals against the wall and zip tied on. 👌
@@designamk1160 I’ve done heaps of research and there are many of us running the Playseat challenge with DD wheels. Sure the Active pedal moves around when I brake because of the zip ties, and it does make it hard to be consistent (hence iRating of 700-800), but I don’t plan to ever get a full aluminium profile because I’d rather spend my money wisely on things like the Active pedals. 💪👌
Which seat do u have Daniel?
Do you know what's the wheel torque of a real GT3 ? I have a csl dd at 8Nm and i wonder if i should consider buying the new clubsport dd at 12Nm to have a more realistic experience ?
@@designamk1160 Why tho, always fanatec wheel bases and never had issues, it's the same prices as others + i don't want to spend 200/300 € on new compatible wheels
Personally, I would stay clear of that club sport DD. You might as well go for something like a Moza base or if you can pull it off, simucube 2 pro.
najam simtec k2x is an excellent midrange pedal set. I mean it could pass as top tier, and it does, just doesn't have the ease of setup and price tag.
For “mid-tier” pedals you can’t beat the Heusinkveld Sprints IMHO!
well thats very logical! Because you cannot beat things that are dutch when it comes to racing. Its true with the heusinkveld padels on the midrange. Or with drivers themself like Max Verstappen. XD Just kidding offcourse.
@@MrJoppashoppathey drive with the new simicube ffb pedals now. But dont get fooled it's not ffb like in the wheelbase. It doesnt react to the game. But you can tune them from the software.
How high ranks that $0.02 sticker job on that seat on the improvements list?
That comes last. Still not touched 😂
Maybe try Vr again. I run iracing with pimax crystal. I7 12700k and rtx 4090. I have 99% percent of the time constant 120 frames and it looks so much better than most other vr headsets. I would say with the crystal the picture quality is comparable to a monitor.
I might have to give it a try again. Thanks so much for the heads up. I’m really interested in the big screen VR headset as well.
Im not rich at all but i hate upgrading i just work hard and buy the best of the best 1 time so there is never a need for upgrades because once your in that cycle of upgrade this upgrade that then your just throwing money away and if you can do that then you can just wait a tad longer and buy the best first and save money in the long run
All you do is state the obvious and plug referrals or your own merch

I upgrade the driver as frequently as possible, they're high maintenance & often cause issues
what about a 49" curved monitor instead of three screens?
However, owners of entry level wheels such as the Logitechs won’t be able to upgrade the pedals without going for a different ecosystem first (meaning, buying a new wheelbase)
I am capable of picking out the items. It's the money part i struggle with
Then start step by step. Rig first. Then the other bits.
Really interested in starting this but seems i won't be able to afford i was planning to spend around 2500 max no more i don't even own a pc planning to start on ps5 guess got to save at least another 1000..😅
Constructive feedback,
Think you seem like a great guy, hope the channel continues to grow.
As someone who is not new to the scene but likes this style of content YT, your studio is sweet and you have the IrL position to help sell your online racing channel.
That being said hope this all helps:
-More b role and real cut scenes with audio continued over top, less straight on face.
your a handsome guy and all haha but long camera holds on basic topics that dont need inflection are getting lil drawn out in the same setting on the same topics after watching your catalogue. (Plug away and get that coin but it comes off repetitive when its your branded stuff and just keeps leading to that)
- use stock, meme, copyright free, and real world clips more to break up content.
Show examples of what ur talking about beyond your own room essentially, i want to see your beast setup after showing a bunch of other less adequate ones haha. Not just always urs. Definitely other ppls stuff and clips used in urs is a great way to add variety.
-The music transitions.
Ive seen other comments too, you know brother keep that volume down or matched.
-use more styles\games in the background to ur audience to hook more, show clips of you driving other games and get people wanting your gear because they relate to you and say ye ill buy his stuff i like him and want that shiii i play that game.
Those are the quick ones that come to mind to make it seem less standard youtube in the sea if competition right!.
(Great content, great attitude, wish you all the growth on and off the net!)
Cheers,
Thanks a lot for the tips. Appreciate the time you took for this.
Mucho respect@@danielmoradcheers,
its so simple to upgrade your rig you dont need a video explaining you just need money
True this. Just give me 15k 😂
Unfortunately not everyone has space for large chasis… im stuck with foldable for a long time
"you're not gonna grab the shaft and steer the car" BET
Dale Jr can grab the shaft and steer the car lol...aim higher Morad! 😂
I've still got a G25. 😉
"you're not going to grab the shaft"
This is a misconception about loadcells. Forst loadcells or hall sensors have no change over how the brake feels like you say my P1000i prove this as ive always used Loadcell but using Hall sensor ive found to be just as accurate when it comes to this application and i cant feel any difference between using loadcell or when i switch it to hall sensor my feet cant tell the difference but if i use loadcell with a lot of travel i find i have to press to hard or mess with the software to make up for this but switching to hall sensor this all goes away and feels much better.
I think this miff comes from old school Potentiometer pedals and the reason loadcell was better then was due to how the feel. Normally loadcell had the ability to make them a lot stiffer than their Potentiometer counterparts but if you use hall sensors on pedals with the same rubbers you have on a loadcell set i promise you theres no difference in feel or any difference in my laptimes.
For me loadcell is key for drivers who use a stuff brake with little travel but for the driver who wants 2 to 3cm or tracel are better off switching to hall sensor as 4095 on a 100kg loadcell is easy to hit maybe 200kg would be better but the issue is to my knowledge only Simagic offer the option of both loadcell and hall effect sensor on their p1000/i pedals.
Just my opinions of corse ❤
Bought a cheaper rig too and upgraded adding parts to it but it would have been cheaper to get a better rig.
Definitely. Proper rig to start with and build around it.
Buy once, cry once as they say!!!
“Morad go Zoom”
Hahahaha no VR? You missing out brother 😂
So, I need about $20,000 to have a decent Sim Racing experience..
If that’s what you took away from this video, then you’re absolutely right lol
buy it nice or buy it twice
11:04 ayo pause
People ask and I say it all depends how ‘real’ you want it to be , because the ‘real-er’ the peripheral feels the more $$ it usually is 😂
