I am 100% here for your sim racing journey. Literally just plugged in my first direct drive system two hours before seeing this video. Love how you presented all the info in here too, there’s so much room for different angles on sim content ⚡️🥂⚡️

This hobby is a bottomless pit. I also like you drive on the Simucube + GSI combo, but my wheel is their previous iteration (GXL Pro). Can't really speak from my own experience but people who opted for similar rig like you do tend to complain about some flex but most importantly modularity. That is the reason why many - including myself - go into the aluminum extrusions. They are rock solid but allow the full modularity for any peripherals (button boxes, stream decks, actuators for motion kits or simple keyboard trays). Something I can definitely say I am quite jealous for the amount of space you have to use. Myself I reach the small room boundaries and it looks like I might have reach the max possible.

@DJSoulbrother

Yeah I had that a tr8 pro and was using it with a moza 16 before moving to simagic alpha ulti which is still less powerful than a simu pro and that's when I noticed the flex enough to warrant having to change. The tr8 is a great rig for space though

Don’t let being new to sim racing stop you from racing with others online, so much of race craft has to do with what you do when battling another driver, with one driver or both being forced off the racing line. AC has servers full of newbies, just jump straight in and start stacking laps, racing other real drivers is by far the best thing about sim racing. Pulling off your first successful overtake online is an amazing feeling!

I used to do work with an audio engineer who was also a retired military pilot. He had a flight sim cockpit built with 4 screens (3 wide, 1 above). The stick/main flight controls/rudders were top of the line. He had control panels and docks that he bought with a friend of his that were stripped from actual airplane cockpits and wired into Raspberry Pis to take the analog signals and convert them to generic signals that he matched to keybinds for his flight sims. All of this plus a custom CNCed aluminum frame which everything mounted to. The computer it was strapped to was a $2000+ at least. I asked him how much it costs and he would say "more than you think, but doesn't matter". Enjoy the rabbit hole, Ali

VR/cockpit games are arguably still the best use of VR. For racing in particular there's massive benefits: The added depth perception is huge in judging braking distances and speed for example that make the care much more natural/real to drive. And wearing the VR headset blends in transparently as it feels the same as wearing a racing helmet from a weight and FOV standpoint. That plus a good surround setup to where you can hear which tires are screeching/losing traction etc. will play so much into your natural trained senses that you use and are practiced through years of real car driving that you'll understand why the rabbit hole goes deep, you don't realize how much primal feel goes into driving on a sensory level. It's something your brain is already trained on and attuned to, so it's something everyone can appreciate once they experience it.

@Cloxxki

Ай бұрын

I'm still to start my sim journey. I read a lot that VR is an amazing experience, but some people can't do it for long, and others comment that their driving is less consistent with VR than with screens.

First off, I'm jealous. however i have some recommendations for you the way you have neck fx set up is making me feel seasick just as a spectator, i personally only use neck fx for drifting in cockpit view, with it only really reacting to steering wheel input. no looking to apex and minimal headbobbing. i know for a fact you generally look for an optimized competitive experience atleast in fps games, so i really recommend you use the two extra monitors you have and turn your own head instead lmao if you want the incentive to get faster with an elo-carrot on a stick in front of you i recommend either ac or acc with simgrid and/or lfm (both services are free) and iracing (be careful with iracing or you will spend way too much on dlc.) hope you'll have a lot of fun with simracing and dont get discouraged by the fact that youre not as fast as max verstappen after just one week! a surprising amount of people cant take the hit to the ego and just quit when they cant keep up with the front pack. there's a lot of videos on youtube to help you realize where youre making mistakes. lastly i wanna recommend getting a round steering wheel of sorts, its the most universal wheel type you can have :)

I remember when I said that I wasn't going to do iRacing and race others online... I will just say that people talk about the cost of racing in VR (I race exclusively in VR), but they act like a triple monitor setup is free. Sure you don't need 3 240Hz panels, but name 3 monitors that cost less than a Quest 3 that aren't garbage. There are some fun projects you can do with Simhub. Everyone focuses on the DDU and overlays, but haptics, wind (yes, I'm serious) and controller mapping for swapping out wheels are all great features.

Ali, It's a visual bliss to watch your videos man keep it up always delivers something unexpected and informative. I feel like I just experienced it through your video The level of depth my gosh God bless you man

Very good build considering you're new to all of this. Simucube, GSI and VNM, all fantastic quality. Good to see you in a racing rig

This video is definitely a step up from your other content pieces. Well done.

Sim rig ergonomics -- seating position, wheel position, pedal distance/angle, etc. -- is obviously preferential and depends on whatever feels comfortable, but if you ever feel discomfort or want extra insight on what can be improved in terms of ergonomics, I recommend a video from racing driver Daniel Morad. He gives good advice on what to do/avoid to prevent strain/stress on your body. Video title is "PRO GT DRIVER REVEALS THE BEST SEATING POSITION FOR SIM RACING". He explains it from a GT car seating position standpoint though, so be aware that the advice might differ (I'm no expert so idk) if you want your sim rig to be like an open-wheeler style.

I love the simplistic type of video and the crazy great lighting

love how the space around it is large and clean, somehow adds some kind of immersion!

Hey man!

If you've spent this much on a rig, you'd be doing yourself a monstrous disservice /not/ giving iRacing a go. There's an entry level couple of racing series (MX-5 cup) and it's worth pushing to get through those (keep your racing clean and don't wipe out on other novices trying to play it like other arcadey racing sims) you'll still have a wildly good time.

You could've saved a lot of money by just getting a VR headset and having a way more immersive experience. I can't play sim racing games on monitors anymore, it just feels so... 2D :D . Just upgraded my Oculus Rift S to Quest 3, highly recommend.

Congrats man, really nice setup. I am glad to see that more people are investing in Sim Racing. Just one thing.. As you can seem, the mirrors take the whole screen. The image is looks warped. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think it should not be like that. AC has APP called triple screen where you can eliminate that warped effect. It at least helped me to fix that same issue on G9 Neo.

Awesome setup! I have a triple screen setup aswell (not as fancy as this one though), I would really recommend the bezel free kit from asus to make it even more immersive. Also, just a few tips on terms of your driving. Try to slowly ease off the brake the further you get into the corner, around the apex (middle of the corner) you want to start slowly easing the accelerator. From the footage it seems like you try to give it full burst immediately which will just make your rear snap away and costs you time. Welcome to simracing!! :D

You aren't really missing anything not having a motion rig.

RandomCallsign has a good video explaining the flaws.

Cool to see you getting into the sim racing. Your ergonomics are a bit off. For instance, your steering wheel angle is completely off and you’re lifting your heel off the plate when you hit the brakes. If you need any help, let me know.

one thing that might help you with feeling the ground/car is a bass shaker setup, you can take however many you want and money wise its a really good alternative to an actual motion sim.

Can't wait to see what you'll build in the future. I recommend you look into more of Simucube's products! My father has been building a sim rig for a couple years now and it's pretty incredible. Not cheap tho, pretty sure his setup costs more than my car.

Dude, this setup is a dream. Im currently saving up for a decent rig and an ultra wide monitor, but I dont have the room for your monitor setup. I will probably go with a profile rig because its more customizable and I can mount my own stuff. You should check out the conspit pedal sets or the simagic ones. They have hydraulic brakes and ffb motors on the pedals. You can also go the DIY route with the ffb motors on the pedals (like i did). I encourage you to try iRacing. Its way more rewarding (and fustrating at the same time:D) than other sims. There is the iRating where you are in a session with the same strength of field as you are, so its always fun to drive and you can still compete at a lower level.

Welcome to the Addiction.

No clutch😔

This is some good stuff! Best thing to do with coiled cables like this one is to wrap the coiled part around your DD shaft and run a USB extension. If you crash and have to let go off the wheel, cable won't get ripped to shreds lol. Because the way it is now, it will 100% get ripped if your DD goes crazy. Pedal plate flex is a bit too much, but your chose the rig you wanted. Maybe tryout a different pedal plate on this rig? Have no clue about its modularity, which is exactly why alu rig are so sought after. For motions just add a bass shaker to front and another under/behind your seat. It will completely transform your experience. You will not have movement, but you'll still feel everything through shake.

Nice rig, those screens are spot on. This might have been mentioned already, but you can do away with NVIDIA Surround for most sims. I've been sim racing with triples for around 15 years and I only just tried this after reading some posts about it. Keep 3 distinct displays in Windows (which works better for desktop stuff) and set the screens up in each sim. You can still set bezel compensation in each sim, but more importantly screen angles - this will give you a perspective correct view and eliminate the crazy stretching at the edges (e.g. giant wing mirrors).

Every time I see those type of builds I wonder, why people don't just use VR. Not only it's cheaper, but also gives user depth perception, which is super good for racing.

Because vr is annoying to setup and unergomic

Personally would have gone with VR+motion instead of the triple screen.

I'm surprised to actually just realize this - but optimum tech is actually in top 3 tech channels in terms of content quality. Love it and keep it up!

I have one of those LG 45" monitors that i use for both FPS and Sim Racing and I absolutely love it.

do you live in a bunker ?

There was not enough budget to rent a house for recording the commercial 😂

The 3 screens give you the feeling of headset VR

Except the depth perception

First time watcher, nice video. I'm a Sim racer myself well down the rabbit hole now. Clean setup. I personally would have gone a different direction with the rig for future expandability but I'm sure you'll learn on your own journey. Enjoy. :)

im glad seeing my go-to tech youtubers getting into simulators

...or you could get a vr headset

More of this content, OPTIMUM! My buddy is getting me into the racing sim life 😅

Happy to see someone join the SIM community happy to have you brother

Love your videos! And hope to see more of sim racing

Hands down one of the best screen alignments I've seen on a triple setup!

Love the video, and the curved monitors really puts you in the center! (will be very interesting when you eventually compare to VR configs later on :)) Seems like a nice rig BUT i think that in the end not going for a 8020 profile simrig might bite you in the rear in the long run. It just will be stiffer and more flexible when it comes to peripherals overall... (including mouse/keyboard/joystick etc) Also, something seems weird about the ergonomics: having the wheel tilted DOWN just seems "backwards". Having the wheel fully horisontal is a thing, but angling it *downwards* is something you don't really see in a real race-car ever as far as I know... I'd try to either raise the seat, or lower the wheelbase to the point where you can angle the wheelbase so it doensnt need to tilt down to make for a comfortable driving setup.

This looks so well-built, must feel so tacktile, good on the hands

Yeah, definitely!, that chair and modded ACC in a Quest 3 looks gorgeous and runs very nicely. I go around laps with my dual VKB NXT HOSAS setup (ye! not a wheel but I have no space for that). Make sure to use Virtual Desktop, enable high vibrance, contrast and max out the gamma (all on virtual desktop's options) otherwise it will feel dark and a sunny day will feel off.

If you get into it, would be great to also see a recommended budget set up - always appreciate those vids for the PC builds :)

It would be interesting to see you turn this into a flight sim system as well ✈ Very cool vid Optimum, always fun to see you branch out with your level of quality you put out in your videos :D

Consistently one of the best tech youtubers on this platform, cheers mate

God this guy is just too good, the production quality is so good

As first setup it's top. Adding 4 bass shackers can be good upgrade. Based on your budget i highly recommended some shackers/haptic/rumble add-ons. You can feel losing traction when using inside camera it helps a lot. Similar like gamepad vibrations but you have placed them as every tire so it's more accurate

I built a very similar rig a few months back. One upgrade I'd reccomend is a buttkicker. Adds some great immersion for a few hundred bucks.

For some reason watching optimum play racing games while talking is so nice.

Adding soft TPU mounts to the chair to enable a bit of lean & instability with body movement. Would be a inexpensive upgrade. If your wheel sim has a output for vibration. Putting together diy vibrations packs for effects is a option. Cheers love the rig.

Amazing. As you say, the only thing missing is G-simulation. A relatively simple, short-throw lateral system in the seat to let you feel the 'snap' into oversteer would be cool.
