Nice Video as always, but what happened? No Videos since almost a year?
Hi, thank you for this series of videos, - I'm a DCS sim pilot and also wheelchair bound (this will make sence to you soon) I have issues setting up my gear so i cant even go for a fly often, brought the next level racing flight sim pro and it didnt do what it was supose too and was too uncomfitable too (40" seperation between throttle and stick) but i found your video and now am looking to design a ali station. May i ask, do you think they would be strong enough (ballence wise) to have with out a chair, so i can use it more as a front frame for example, so i can use my gaming chair or wheelchair depending on my day. did u order your alli profile from the company you send the quote to on the software or someone else (sorry if i missed it) and would u be willing to say roughtly how much it all came too? many thanks
Thanks for watching. You could definitely tailor this to make a frame that simply sits in front of you. I don’t know what kind of weight of equipment you’re putting on it, but mine wasn’t top heavy with out me sitting in it. It needs a non-slip mat or even rubber feet ideally since it’s surprisingly lightweight and would slide on hard / wood flooring. I designed it in the software, which prints a handy parts list which gives you dimensions. I used that info to order direct from my supplier. I spent around £250 on the profiles, but I don’t know what today’s prices are like. Hope that helps!
@@FindingSpeed Thank you for the reply, helps a hell of a lot tbh, as for weight i really dont know either, but i know the Foot pedals are probably most of the weight so should help hold it down. i will start coming up with some ideas soon then, winwing took a ali frame setup with them to the flight sim expo to show off what can be done, so i might try and work with that. Thanks again bud this is so helpful
@@FindingSpeed got another question for you, if you dont mind, how did you know what parts you would need for "strengh" of holding parts? - im new to all of this so i honestly dont know how much weight one of these can / should handle
@Phoenixfett assuming you’re dealing with racing / flight sim equipment you’ll be fine with 40/40. People often use 80/40 or 120/40 for based to make them higher or heavier, but in terms of strength they’re incredibly strong so you won’t need to worry unless you’re creating an industrial application.
@@FindingSpeed Dude you're a legend, thank you so much
Hey man, very nice video! I started playing iracing 2 days ago with zero driving experience. I don't even know how to drive a real car. I don't have a wheel, only an xbox controller. In my first day, I wasn't even capable of staying inside the track. My car was also oversteering and understeering in every corner. On my 2nd day, I started to get better and better and better and I was able to stay inside the track at lower speeds but at least I was finishing the laps. On day 3, I started to gain more speed and soon after I managed to do my fastest lap at 1:51! After this video, I think I should be able to improve my time a bit more!
What happened to this guy? Found his videos immensely helpful in my rookie months and it seems like he just up and disappeared.
Hi there, which setup did you use for these?
That's a quick lap! I've some work to do!!!
Your iracing coaching link doesn't work. Are you still coaching?
Subscribed. Pls make more bmw content. Chreers
Just watched a Miata race at lime rock today lol
Did sth change since last year in this race? I feel like now u can easly make it below even 58s
Every month I'm giving away 🤓🤓🤓Shut up and play your video. Giveaways worked for 5K sub KZreadrs in 2011.
lol. Git gud at iRacing and you wouldn’t have to watch 👍
@@FindingSpeed Lol nice one. Im sure another giveaway will give you the boost you need!
As someone who has driven a car before…. What on earth are they thinking at iracing headquarters? No car drives like the mx5… even on cold tires, heck you can drive on snowy roads and have more grip than that car. I get it… it’s a car that is incredibly rewarding to master… especially if you do a lot of driving on hockey rinks, frozen lakes or margarine. Seriously though, can I get an amen? Honestly the car makes me giggle sometimes by the insane antics.
if you look at the setup, the front sway bar is firm and the rear is UNHOOKED. Bro who actually came up with that????
@@DirtyMike2024 that’s wild! I guess they wanted to exaggerate the forces and reactions on the car, but I can’t think of a reason why, especially considering the towering cost of using iRacing, you’d think they would want the first road car rookies use to be a friendly foray into the esport…. But what do I know..
I tried this car, gt4 and gt3, I found this is most suitable for beginners. I can drive the other two smoothly for sure, but way slower than others and cannot apply the correct technique
Hey,i just wanna to ask,on this lap do you turn off the abs on the car?
I know this video is 3 years old but I've got 2 questions, where can you buy that wheel mounting plate from and do you recommend using an actual car seat (and where can I find measurements for them if you know)
thanks for the guide!
Could you share the pdf?(
What is ALS "1" ? Seems like anti lag system, but now it is set to "AIR" constantly and I can't find any way to change it
What have you done to your csp v3 they are unrecognizable? you should do a video just on these bad boy
Thank you so much for the video. Very useful. I look after for a sim rig and your video also design fits my needs perfectly. Can you send me that’s documentation please.
Absolutely amazing video! THANK YOU for the work you had with this. It almost makes it too easy... And the tips on the software and motedis website; that's just too good. Absolutely golden! I was struggling a bit with finding suppliers in Portugal, but this way it's just a streamlined, enjoyable process
Thanks for watching and glad it was useful. Good luck with your rig 🏁
Hi I’m new to iracing how do you get that map on your display? With the green and purple sectors also, loving your videos 😄
Thanks for watching. I used Racelab apps. You can use it free but some features are only available with an affordable subscription.
You still racing, buddy?
Sadly not. I’m out of racing due to health issues. Working for Apex Racing UK and VRS in brand and marketing so still kind of around! Thanks for watching 🏁
@ 1:13 Once we go flat out through that section, when we catch it right, and were on the limit all the way through, it's one of the most satisfying sections of turns that I've experienced so far. Summit Point Sector 3 gives me the same sensation. LOVE IT!! Seriously Im addicted to thatfeeling now.. If my PC didn't run iRacing. It would be a 2000$ Paper Weight. I literally use it for NOTHING else.
Sounds like you’re right at home. Go get ‘em 🏁
I'm looking at this now, my issue is having the placement of mounting for chair and pedals... can I mount to the base, or do I need all the cross members...? Ie, the 40x40...?
Hey do a monitor stand!
I was sure you were using a cheat software, because no way 3.43.13 is a possible time haha
I dont know if its my config of the car or what is it. But if I break while turnig as u do on turns 2 and 5. My car spins immediately. Any advise?
Hard to say without seeing your driving, but it sounds like you’re lifting out of the brake way too fast. Don’t focus on wheee I start breaking - focus on where I stop braking (and how I trail the brake into the apex). This will keep your car more stable and controllable during corner entry.
Oh man when I saw this video I really wished it was of the old Rudskogen. I used to do roadracing on it in my youth together with the family. It was super cool on 2 wheels!
Do mind sharing your prestarted templates?
When I do this I have a line down the center as if the pictures didn't line up. Any thoughts? I have a 2560x1440 monitor. So I doubled that resolution.
Same question how much was the last price?
Not drafting the guy in p1 during the straight was a stroke of genius
know this is an old video, but wondering if you remember your cost for the frame components only? I admittedly didn't have the patience (since I am in the US) to jot down the cost of every item and quantity and convert to US currency. Hoping you might be able to throw a ballpark figure out just trying to see how much I would save if I built this over buying/ if I built this if I could spend the same on upgrading accessories/sim racing components to get more value for money
Probably around $200-250 at the time roughly speaking. No idea what aluminium prices are like these days, though.
Thanks for the vid. I am trying to join your discord channel but it says unable to accept invite when I click the link.
I've been thinking of building my own also.
Great Track Guide - thx
Good guide. It's frustrating that I have most of the gearing and turn in points nailed on this course, just a few corners are hanging me up. This helps key in on a few mistakes. Thanks!
Good luck in your races 🏁
it’s Okayama week. coming back to your videos over and over again! keep putting out the good work sir 🔝🏁
Thanks! Glad they’re useful 👍
Bro is a demon
In terms of speed!*
Thanks for clearing that up 😈
As others have mentioned fantastic explanation and thank you for introducing the software.
Glad it was useful to you!
Do you have one with the fixed setup?
This did a lot, almost 2 seconds faster after 15 minutes of driving. I was way to smooth and also 2 corners where I was way of.. I often think to much about the corner I am entering and not what is after the corner. Thanks a lot for this.
Glad it helped and thanks for commenting 👍
How do you hide the menu to have a clean screenshot?
Default is space bar
Can you help? I do not understand something. On T1 you said that you were keeping some brake on down to the apex because if not the back would spin out. However, by TB as you did you would be transferring some weight from the rear to the front so surely brake is more likely to induce some over steer not lessen it. I am new to this car so I am sure they is some nuance I have missed.
Do you use paddles or stick sequential? Just about to Get back to iracing after 8years lol
Paddles. The current incarnation of the Mazda has paddles IRL, too.
XD just learned that today
No recent videos? I hope all is ok.
Thanks for the message. I had to give it up (for now) due to various ailments (God, I’m old).
Anyone notice that after the update the mx5 has zero traction?
My best is 1:37 and I just started I racing , but took time to figure out the game
Like how the tires are not emulating rubber but blocks of ice?
