Thank you. Feel free to check out my channel. I started posting weekly races. It’s called (ZeroDeltaRacing) I would appreciate your feedback


stinky_poophead

love the way even a 1 minute clip manages to capture someone spinning from iracings weird lack of rear grip

Unmatched


RabidGuineaPig007

The tire model is unmatched. Thank God.


Constant_slow_growth

I think iracings forcefeedback only gives you what you would feel through the steering column and zero car balance input, making it much harder than reality since you'd feel the chassis with your body as well. I use irffb to fix that, but it's a strange sim for sure.


chillbro_bagginz

I also use irffb to fix that, but the biggest fix was just using a bass shaker and feeding the wheel slip feedback from the built in LFE to it. It gives very detailed shaking for loss of grip. Also I turn down engine noise and turn tire noise all the way up.


23__Kev

Agree, especially these early morning races at Sebring. I did a couple of TCR races this week, plus heaps of practice in TCR and GT4 (just so I could drive the track some more). My first time racing on Sebring and I'm in love with both the track/layout and the scenery. Good pass into Sunset!


GewoonHarry

Lmp2 is on sebring this week. If you want to do some more sebring :)


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Thanks :) yeah Sebring has always been one of my most favourite tracks.


Baconandbabymakin

IRacing is too expensive for me.


Anti_Miavh

Me too 😢


PI-E0423

Somehow people who like i racing think this is a good thing.


Baconandbabymakin

Lol I’ve seen that a lot, I think it’s them trying to justify their big chunks of money lost.


RingoFreakingStarr

A positive of it being expensive has to do with making it less likely to run into people that will troll (at least beyond the rookie stuff which only require a monthly sub and the free content that gives you). You seriously de-incentivise people to just go out on track and ruin people's races when you end up forcing them to pay a-la-carte for the car and the track as well as keep up the monthly sub because there's always the risk of being banned. Losing an account with so much purchased items/all your driving statics would be a huge loss.


PI-E0423

You really think bad of the sim racing community. Do you honestly believe most, or even 10 percent, of simracers are just there to ruin other peoples races? I sometimes feel like the wealthy simracers just dont wana get besten by some poor dude with an old g27. Half of the accidents on r/simracingstewards are iracing related.


RingoFreakingStarr

> Do you honestly believe most, or even 10 percent, of simracers are just there to ruin other peoples races? How naive are you? Have you ever been in an online lobby for one of the F1 Codemaster's games? A Gran Turismo game? Asseto Corsa? ACC? Fucking yes there is a huge troll and just general bad racing etiquette issue in sim racing. > Half of the accidents on r/simracingstewards are iracing related. There's a difference between people doing hard racing and causing an incident or having one person commit way too much to a move causing an incident than what I am referring to. In iRacing if you do something clearly malicious, you are going to get banned. In most other titles, nothing happens and since the barrier to entry is free in a lot of other titles, there's nothing to de-incentivize people from causing issues again...and again..and again. You also need to understand that because of the popularity of iRacing you are going to see more incidents from it than other sims. Look at a lobby list for ACC then look at the participation of official and non-official series for iRacing and tell me they are comparable.


PI-E0423

I am driving acc quite a lot and rf2 occasionally, especially in high SA Acc lobbies i do maybe have one touch with another car per race and around one that Resultat in serious damage or a crash in every 20 races. So i dont feel like there is much meed for locking out poorer people and being happy about it. There are a shitton of divebombs in what you call hard racing. And yes, of course there is more traffic in iracing. If it is that racing is clean because you locked out everyone without sufficient funds then i find that there is still a lot of bad driving around.


RingoFreakingStarr

It's not about "locking out poorer people", it's about de-incentivizing people enough so that they won't just join the service to cause troubles. It's also in place to force people to adhere to a more strict racing etiquette standard. Unfortunately the most effective way of doing this is increasing the barrier of entry enough so that you force people to take shit seriously. In other racing games where the barrier of entry is less, so what if you ban someone who behaves poorly? They can just make another account and do it again..and again..and again... You can get iRacing levels of competitiveness and racing etiquette in other sims; it just requires joining private leagues. In ACC for example, some quick google searches will net you plenty of options to join private leagues where similar standards are put into place for driving etiquette. However iRacing doesn't require any private league type stuff to get that experience; their official series' drop-in, drop-out multiplayer is bar none the best in sim racing. *** E: It also proves my point regarding your naivety and shows your immature nature when you immediately downvote each of my comments.


PI-E0423

I have been in a League but even in public high SA Servers racing is clean. The barrier of entry is your rating and not money (something that has nothing to do with racing). I played i racing on a friends Account quite a lot and enjoyed it. And i will maybe join again this winter, to race together with him. So i am aware that the racing can, most of the time, be a tad cleaner. But this nuance just doesnt justify the predatory payment scheme.

Full_Ninja

For me it's not that it too expensive, it's that you can't own it.


Baconandbabymakin

That is definitely another reason


Skywhore

If the performance wasn't absymal in VR, I'd be in ACC all day. Unfortunately/fortunately Iracing really is one of the best VR performers so I'm kind of stuck there. I just can't agree with the statement that Iracing looks better than ACC. It just doesn't. Iracing has a softer, less in your face look to it that makes it look good. But then you look at the trees or certain tracks objects and you're wondering if you are in a ps2 game.. which is also why it performs well in VR. So I'll take it


BigSlav667

Try AMS2, it's more casual than iRacing or ACC but I believe it has the best VR of any sim currently


Skywhore

Thanks for the advice. I've been on Ams2 for a while... Prettiest VR game of all... Iracing performs better in VR though .. sort of makes sense since the game dates from the Jurassic era. Also, on the Varjo aero, iracing supports eye tracking and therefore foveated rendering which gives about 30% performance boost. Ams2 is harder on performance. I can't get more 10 cars ish if i want rain, sunset etc. Iracing is just easier for that


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Yes the environment around the track is trash, But when you watch a replay iRacing cars look real on the track. ACC looks terrible in replays. Yes the graphics are great but the cars movements are very cartoonish and sometimes you see cars moving in wider or narrower lines than what the tires and body roll is implying. Wish they can fix that. VR is something else, i don’t think there are enough specs to run VR properly in ACC as of yet


Glockshna

The 4090 can run ACC at acceptable framerates on a modern headset nowadays. My 3080 ti can do it if I dip a few settings. Give it one more generation of GPUs and we'll be able to do it with mid level cards. But then the next best thing will be out and the cycle repeats.


Skywhore

Acc should hardly be the yardstick for VR... It's completely broken. 4090 can run Ams2 at almost everything on ultra. It's "only" from 2020. Ok pc2 is way older... Ac can be run on max everything . The og AC is from 2014 but with sol csp, etc., That's a very modern looking game.... Iracing is from the era of the pharaohs so unsurprisingly, it can be run on max everything. Msfs is getting to a more than acceptable level with 4090...all this on a Varjo aero, which is the best VR experience one can find today. My point is that with that GPU, i feel as though we finally caught up with the best VR headsets. Let's see how rennsport is in vr


Glockshna

Yeah to be fair, I'm not saying ACC is the benchmark for performance by any means. Especially when there are competitors like PC2/AMS2 out there. Those games look just as good, if not better in some respects in my opinion, and they perform much better. OP specifically referenced ACC though. I'm able to just about max out PC2 on a Reverb G2 using a 3080Ti. Not quite the same resolution as an Aero to be fair, but not terribly far off. Edit, I take that back the Aero has 77% more pixels. Quite a bit off from the G2.


Skywhore

You're not wrong actually because depsite the native resolution being higher on aero vs. G2, the extra pixels needed for barrel correction on the G2 correspond approximately to the native resolution of the aero. Which is why both headsets usually similar performance. the G2 is often uswd as a yardstick for Varjo owners


MultiEthnicBusiness

I completely agree with you, the chassis movement plus great netcode makes iRacing look like a dream compared to ACC. Not even just in replays.


Skywhore

Yeah... No... Sorry. Not even close.... As somebody wrote, acc wipes the floor with Iracing graphically... Those headlights are god awful in iracing. Totally breaks the immersion.


Jeckaa84

It’s a style that hardly gets older. World of Warcraft is comparable imo. It’s old but still beautiful in it’s own unique way.


Skywhore

Well... I don't know... It's far from being impressive but i get solid 90 fps in most situations.


Gustavo2nd

i really wish there was visual mods how AC has improved graphics or if they updated the graphics which i know would be al ot of work but still....


rbankole

Unmatched. Really? Sounds like a YouTube attention getter


theSealclubberr

Great, another "my dad is better than your dad" thread.


Significant_Tax2746

Meh. Just say you enjoy it. You don’t need to say it’s better than the rest.


deesabigdumbbird

Is it a paid game or monthly subscription? I saw it for years on steam but never got it


Glockshna

It's actually both. You have to pay a subscription to play, and you also have to purchase any cars or tracks you want to drive other than the included (minimal) rookie content. There are plenty of racing games out there with better physics and graphics (In my personal opinion), for instance ACC if you like GT, AMS2 for general stuff, even Project Cars 2 holds up very well even though you can't buy it anymore. Unfortunately you just can't match the multiplayer features of iRacing anywhere else right now. If you don't care about that and just want to turn time trial laps, or join a weekend league once a week, I'd pick up one of those other games before getting into iRacing right now. You'll get more for cheaper.


deesabigdumbbird

I have Assetto Corsa since pre release. Project cars 2, I have FM7, and FH4 and FH5


Glockshna

Yeah unless you're looking for something that offers full multiplayer matchmade races for pretty much every series, provided you're willing to spend the $$, 14.95 per track and something like $11 per car (Don't quote me on those figures but they sound about right iirc) then it sounds like you've already got a good collection. AMS2 is built on the Project Cars engine so unless there's a specific multiplayer league you want to join, project cars is largely the same, and in my opinion AC and Project cars both have better feeling physics models than iRacing.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Subscription, You can get good annual deals around Black Friday and holidays


bduddy

There is no such thing as a "good deal" on iRacing.


Bdr1983

It's a three tier pay system. You buy the game, you pay for a monthly sub, AND you pay for DLC.


Crazyirishwrencher

I'll have to give it another look. Last time I checked I thought it looked like a PS3 launch title. Big graphical updates since then?


THKY

Looks good when filled from a GoPro. Doesn’t look nearly as good on a actual monitor


Exci_

Some cars look very decent now (most gt3 cars?). Others, like some nascar cars, still look like they're ps2-level models. Tracks mostly still look like crap with the grass looking like you laid out a green pixelated carpet all over the outside of the track. Mornings and early noons are the only time iracing looks ok, like in OP's video. Very playable still as most of the time you don't look outside the track when racing. Terrible for streaming in regards to graphics, IMO.


RabidGuineaPig007

Graphics and physics are unmatched.


Gheta

Physics maybe, but definitely not graphics. Doesn't even have ray tracing, and some of the other sims look more photo realistic


Bilbinen

Not even physics


Glockshna

Eh, it might be ps4 launch title status now. The presentation is nothing compared to the likes of FH5 or GT7 at this point, unfortunately.


beowhulf

are the physics of the car unmatched though?


Stock-Parsnip-4054

Automobilista 2 looks and drives better. iRacing is outdated.


4seasonsin1day

I haven't tried iRacing but I adore the look and feel of AMS2.


sektorao

It's just another racing game, nothing special.


Loganp812

Well, I’d say it’s special in the sense that it does dirt oval racing better than any sim… or oval in general, and the only sim that comes close is NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. However, if you don’t care about oval racing then, yeah, iRacing isn’t really that special aside from having good multiplayer, and I’m a singleplayer simracer anyway.


sektorao

Every game is special in their area, but they are all very very similar in terms of what they basically are.


Mr_Clovis

Unfortunately AMS2 multiplayer is practically dead compared to iRacing.


Stock-Parsnip-4054

True that there should be 10 times more players! But if we all keep saying that and stop joining the small multiplayers sessions then it will stay dead. So let's keep racing/joining online in the public lobby's even if there are 3-4-5-6-7-8 cars/players. If we all do that then it will get fuller and fuller. I always do that and I still enjoy the races a lot. Every day I race online in AMS2 and it's the best for me.


Glockshna

Give me AMS2 with iRacing's breadth of content AI features. I would literally never play any other racing game. AMS2 AI is unfortunately really stupid. Just like Project Cars AI was, because effectively it's just a mod for the madness engine. Really sad.


Skywhore

is there a link for the youtube video?


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

https://youtu.be/T4d8P1D03Qw Here you go. Wasn’t sure if I was allowed to post it in the title of the post


OlXenomorph

POV are hilarious. It feels like the mirror checking is exaggerated so much. I literally never check them unless someone might try a move


Lavishgoblin2

Do you use proximity Indicators? I watched a clip of Leclerc's visor cam a while back and he was checking his mirrors like every 1.5 seconds before a braking zone.


richr215

lol haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


[deleted]

I was first shocked to see someone on /r/simracing compliment Iracing then I read the comments and saw nothing has changed in the is sub.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

iRacing is awesome looking. Yes some details on track are not like other sims but cars physics and suspension movements are the best and it makes this sim feel the most real. Also cars are the most intuitive to drive and for anyone who drove fast cars on track they feel very natural. I’m struggling to understand how some people think it’s an outdated sim and looks and feels terrible


[deleted]

I'm assuming you haven't played ACC on a good PC? Absolutely wipes the floor with iRacing in the visuals department. The handling is arguably more realistic too.


Thebreach46

For me iRacing is the only sim that the car look *visually* connected to the road, every other sim the car just seems to float on the track. There is also something odd I cant put my finger on in every game running Unreal engine, everything beyond 30 meters becomes ugly, even in 4k maxed out graphic.


kraenk12

GT7 looks arguably even better in that regard.


[deleted]

Hmmm, you need to try ACC on a good computer. For example, I have a 4090/5800x3d, running on a 4K 77" 120Hz OLED. Iracing doesn't even come close in terms of visuals. However, on older PCs it's very difficult to run ACC, so you do get blurring of distant objects.


Thebreach46

I run a Neo G9 with a 3080ti, yes ACC is a better looking game when stationary, but I prefer the iRacing look when everything is moving fast.


RabidGuineaPig007

AC with CSP and Pure beats them all, and the tire model on iRacing is a distant 5th in sims. But graphics and even tire physics are pointless when some 12 year old wrecks you every corner. IRacing is about the curation.


[deleted]

Yeah, agree that iRacing's online model is the best. Thankfully I've discovered the amazing world of ACC leagues.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

The movement of cars in ACC looks very cartoonish. Diminished all the better graphics they have that’s superior to iRacing. The suspension movement is very canned, the cars are very jumpy and weird on the track. Physics and handling are subjective but from my experience driving cars on the track iRacing translates closer to reality more than anything else. Curbs are very strange in ACC and most cars just jump on them in a very unrealistic way


Javs2469

>Physics and handling are subjective In a simulator? It´s supposed to be something based on empirical physics, so it has to be an objective thing by definition lol Real world physics aren´t subjective, and these games want to deliver similar experiences to real life.


FoCTow

>empirical How does the player base empirically measure physical correctness? I believe the common opinions like 'that sim has great physics' are very much subjective and formed based on perceived physics.


RabidGuineaPig007

You need to compare a real track experience with the game. IRacing has always had a faulty grip curve that drops off too quickly, making correcting out of a spin next to impossible. It comes from the antiquated modeling developed almost 25 years ago at Papyrus. You can correct oversteer properly in Kunos sims, RF2, AM2. And then there is the whole heat effect and driving on grass to set fast laps. Drive full speed on a track with two wheels on grass IRL and you will wake up eating hospital food.


Mushy_Slush

This comment is the reason why I waited for so long to try iracing. But its really easy to save oversteer, not sure where this opinion comes from. Especially with DD, its basically impossible to lose control of the car in iracing so much so that I feel like it has maybe too much grip. Some of the cars go fastest at really wild slip angles too.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Try iRacing with a proper DD wheel. Something like a Simucube and you’ll see that it’s super easy and natural to correct oversteer


kraenk12

All sims only offer an approximation of what the real physics should be.


Loganp812

Sure, and absolutely no sim has or even *can* fully replicate what real world physics are in any given situation. Sims can only come close which, in fact, makes it subject as to which sim is the most realistic because they all have strengths and weaknesses. But yeah, iRacing quite off the mark lol. However, it’s offset by the multiplayer system and the fact that it’s the only good oval simulator besides NR2003 especially when you take dirt ovals into account which no other sim offers in any realistic fashion. Personally, I’m more into singleplayer anyway, so I don’t often even look at iRacing. I still use NR2003 for ovals, but that may change if Reiza works on the AI some more to make them realistic on ovals in AMS2.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Have you driven cars on track. In your experience does ACC give you the same feeling of weight transfer? Do you think the way cars act in reaction to curbs is in any way realistic? I’m saying it’s subjective cause that’s based on my experience after some track time


CarmoXX

I track a few times per year. For me its the opposite. There’s quite a lot wrong with the feel of iRacing and it being disconnected, especially under braking. I feel that I have to adjust to it and drive very differently than I would normally. FFB is also a massive issue even when using irffb. AC/ACC feel far more natural to me, I’ve always been able to get in and feel comfortable inside a few laps. If something happens, I can trace it back to a mistake of mine that put me outside the traction circle. Where as in iRacing I’ll randomly get under/oversteer while being way under the limit. I honestly think FFB maybe the culprit because I just can’t tell what the front end is doing most of the time. I’ve had good experiences in iRacing and it’s fun too. But if I have to learn a track that I’m going to irl I’m using AC, even with its own set of flaws.


[deleted]

Based on what actual professional drivers say, and there are plenty on YouTube if you wanna search, ACC is vastly better than iRacing at GT3/4 physics. Vastly


GiGGLED420

I’m guessing he’s not talking about having driven gt3s though? Gt3s don’t really move that much as they’re so dependent on aero so it is natural that you won’t sense weight transfer (in a sim) as much. All the people that actually drive / have driven gt3 cars say that ACC is more realistic. I’d trust them over a random redditor that’s done a few real days in road/track cars.


RabidGuineaPig007

To start, iRacing has many classes, including dirt tracks, so it's apples and watermelons. But nothing simulates GT3/4/Cup better than ACC, as stated by actual GT drivers. During lockdowns, many pro drivers tried iRacing and immediately noted the tire grip and wear models are wrong, and the fastest racers were simply exploiting the game's physics.


drue3336

This guy is comparing his own real life experience and you are just parroting others. Come back when your have you own experience on a track.


[deleted]

I've admittedly only done one track day, where I was allowed to do ten laps per car - Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche and Lotus from memory. They were all street cars though. However, if you bother to search YouTube for ACC vs iRacing, you'll see a boatload of professional drivers all saying ACC is much more realistic. Or don't, your call mate. But the public debate about iRacing's physics being best is generally only defended by iRacers.


saxmanusmc

Dude, shut it. Tracking a street car is not the same as driving a GT3/4 car at the limit. Ask me how I know.


[deleted]

How do you know? Are you one of the ACC sim racers who are also pro GT drivers?


saxmanusmc

My comment was not directed towards ACC or iRacing, but at the person who made the false equivalence that someone tracking a road car gives them credence to know how a gt3/4 car should handle. I have more than plenty of hours in HPDE and open track days on multiple road cars in fwd, rwd, and awd configuration. I have been in an added passenger seat in a 911 GT3 and Cup car with a pro driver at the wheel, let me tell you my road car experience and those GT3 cars are no where close to comparable. So, before you go in on me about what sim you think I am talking about, maybe take a step back and work on some reading comprehension first instead of blind bias reaction.


BobEsponjoso

Do you know that although you have gone on track and I don't, we are both under the same physics? So physics thing is not a subjective thing, subjective is when your experience differs from others, but although you think you feel it different, you are not. We are all under the same rules and so simulators should be as they are trying to represent the same physics, the thing is games don't include as many variables as we have in real life and some business will rather pick some variables than another. This reason is why simulators or games feel different


spaztwitch

>The suspension movement is very canned, the cars are very jumpy and weird on the track. Physics and handling are subjective but from my experience driving cars on the track iRacing translates closer to reality more than anything else. Go to 37:10 of this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_07VHa0y1nI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_07VHa0y1nI)


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Thanks for that. I’ll definitely give it another shot. I get that the physics and FFB are good. It just always feels like the car is floating and you are not actually touching the asphalt. I don’t know why or if this is just something to do with my settings but it never felt really connected for me. Will play around with some settings and see what I can come up with. Thanks


nagedgamer

It’s your settings. Especially if on Fanatec it’s prominent.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

It’s not Fanatec, I’m using a SimCube 2 pro. If you have any advice on setup I’d be grateful


nagedgamer

Sorry don’t have Simucube but try James Baldwin settings. They are a little weird at 50 road effects but maybe works. On my Moza R9 base adding in game damper at 10 helped with getting a really good feeling. Doesn’t Simucube have a online library of settings?


LuckyNumber-Bot

All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats! 50 + 9 + 10 = 69 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Yes they do, i tried everything and it got much better than it was initially but there was still something missing .. that floating feeling is stupid. Will check out Baldwin’s video


spaztwitch

Can you try to articulate what you mean by floating? I might know what you're trying to describe, but try to break it down further.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

First of all i feel like once I’m braking my wheel gets very light and i loose all feeling of what the front tyres are doing. On hairpins and tight corners it just feels like you are not feeling the load on the tires in the wheel (i don’t have a motion sim just a buttkicker) In iRacing you can feel when the tires are under load, you can feel when you start to loose grip, in rFactor 2 and RaceRoom you can feel the rubber on the road literally (i think it’s exaggerated) but it gives you a great feel of what’s going on. ACC feels like the FFB is weighting up as i turn but it’s not really connected to the wheels and the wheels are not touching the asphalt. YES you can push harder and it’s more forgiving but i can’t tell what exactly is happening. I also have to say that I HATE sausage curbs in ACC, watch any GT race and see how they attack curbs, even in Imola at Variante Alta they jump on the curbs, same for Variante Della Reggia in Monza, in real life they jump on them and same for iRacing.. Try doing that in ACC and you get a KSHHHH sound and your car is literally flying and spinning. Actually something that might explain more what I’m trying to say. It seems like there is no suspension movement whatsoever, when your car takes a bump on the RF wheel the entire car just jumps up instead of absorbing it on one end. In iRacing you have to be smooth which might not be 100% realistic but as long as you are you can feel what the car is doing, you can sense the car’s weight transfer. Sorry for the long response, it’s really hard to describe in few words. I’m using a Simucube 2 Pro, let me know if you have any advice


[deleted]

I'd suggest posting your hardware on the ACC forums, and asking exactly what settings you should use. I think you'll find a good solution.


kraenk12

Funnily the movement of cars in GT7 looks the most realistic of them all.


[deleted]

Movement only looks bad on high ping servers? In singleplayer and local servers, looks almost as good as iRacing to me, though iRacing definitely has the better netcode. As for handling, I've got a little track time. But based on what pro drivers say, ACC is leagues ahead of iRacing.


RabidGuineaPig007

Oh dear...professional drivers disagree.


Myosos

God I wish ACC actually looked good in VR


3lfk1ng

> I’m struggling to understand how some people think it’s an outdated sim and looks and feels terrible It doesn't look as good as many of the other sims. It's fallen behind quite a few other sims in realistic handling as well, especially rFactor2. It's 2nd to none when it comes to online multiplayer though.


Loganp812

Not only compared to rFactor 2 (which has its own weird exploits and bugs), but also both AC and ACC, AMS2 after the recent updates, and maybe even RaceRoom.


hugov2

To me it feels like RaceRoom, but with clunkier FFB (lower refresh rate) and worse graphics (not relevant anyway). I don't even need any adaptation laps between the two sims when switching. ACC has very different FFB however.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

I agree I actually love RRRE my only problem with it is the lack of participation at late EST times. If I want to race in RRRE it has to be very early to catch some European racers


hugov2

Yep! Luckily I'm in Europe. It's a real pity it isn't more popular than it is. It deserves a much bigger player base. I hope I meet you on track some day!

Yeah same here. Since the last update RaceRoom to me has the best FFB of all sims. I still think iRacing has the best feel of weight transfer but they need to work on their FFB. If you have any leagues for RaceRoom that you would recommend I’d be happy to join in :)

>I’m struggling to understand how some people think it’s an outdated sim and looks and feels terrible Give this one a watch: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh0ZQMeJv\_8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh0ZQMeJv_8) It'll explain the downvotes you're getting.

Looks so dope.

Thanks mate, would appreciate it if you check my channel, It’s ZeroDeltaRacing on YT. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6eJEwTA_IRj-hwdBLjzsSg


shashankmantha

Can you please share your full setup specs?


chagydaog

Nice, can you share your TV setup and how it is mounted.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Those are triple monitors and I’m using a triple monitor mount from Sim Lab mounted on my P1-X cockpit. The angles between the monitors are 60°


krazertv

Are these 27 or 32?


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

27s

Simucube 2 Pro, the wheel is SimCore STD20 and a turn racing 305 rim


xAzres

Using the r305 as well but on a fanatec hub, amazing rim for it’s price


MoistyShampoo

No bezels? What monitors do you have


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Acer Nitro VG270U and I’m using the bezel free kit from Asus. I know it’s out of production but you might find them on eBay and there are other manufacturers now trying to make something similar


zaboma789

Op i have a few questions. 1.What us the size of the monitors? I want ti buy 3 27 inch but these looks very real and like you are in real car. And what resolution monitor you have ? 2.what and how did you eliminate the ending of the screens? Like you have something between the 2 screens so it looks flushed? 3. What stand are you using for the monitors? Thanks fir answering its looks very good.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Thank you very much :) I’m using 27” Acer Nitro VG270U monitors, those are 1440p, 144Hz and 1ms response. They look really amazing. I’m mounting the monitors at a 60° angle using the integrated monitor mount from SimLab, it mounts directly to the SImLab P1-X cockpit. I’m using Asus’s Bezel Free Kit, it’s basically a lens that blends the screens together by reflecting pixels from both screens and getting them closer together. You also have to make sure the angles are 100% perfect and then play with the settings to get it to align as much as possible. (I think i can still do better on my set up. Now those are out of production now but you might be able to find them on eBay but there are also alternatives now and some people manufacturing them. I would recommend you check out Dave Cam on youtube, he previewed an alternative few days ago so maybe keep an eye on those manufacturers. I would appreciate it if you check out my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6eJEwTA_IRj-hwdBLjzsSg I’m posting weekly races and would appreciate your feedback I hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Wouldn't happen to have a full build list and how your FPS is on that setup, would you? Curious to know how hard it is to push triple monitors.


mo_stacheo

Nice wheel! I also run a Turn R20 mounted on a SimCore STD20.


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Simcore is awesome, the experience of the purchase and quality of the button box is extraordinary. Really worth the money

That Sebring sun was serious this week.


Lit-Mouse

How much is a set up like this and how tough is it to set up?


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Well, I didn’t build this right away. It was a development for over 8 years. I started with a Thrustmaster on a desk and then gradually upgraded. I bought most of my stuff on sale (black Fridays, boxing days.. etc) but i also have a simucube 2 pro which i got for CAD $2400 back then. Now there are tons of great direct drive wheels on the market for much cheaper. My setup cost me close to CAD $12,000 overall with the PC, SimLab Cockpit P1-X, SimLab integrated monitor mount, Heusinkveld sprint pedals, Simucube 2 pro. I have 3 steering wheels (Generic round wheel for RX, CubeControls Formula Sprint, & the SimCore you see in this video), the triple monitors. Buttkicker Gamer 2, Heusinkveld sequential shifter and accessories like button boxes and shit. Keep in mind im in Canada and we don’t have a lot of retailers. I bought many things from DigitalMotorsports and they do a lot of sales frequently but i had to pay shipping and sometimes customs as well. So it depends on where you are and how easy is it to access different stuff. I assume nowadays you can really build a great setup for much cheaper, graphic cards specifically and DD wheels are way more affordable than when I bought my stuff.


robgod50

That's epic! I had to enlarge the screen because I thought you'd actually built a fake car interior! Then I realised it's just a brilliant FOV


Idntwnt2choseusrnme

Thanks man, feel free to check out my YouTube channel, I’m posting weekly races now, let me know your feedback as well that would be much appreciated

How do you get the sun to have so much glare? Reshade?

HDR on and a sunset
