Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate - Part 3: How-to Advanced Setup Guide

[@haraldrieder691]

Ordered my wheel yesterday. Thanks for introducing it✌️.

[@LovelySimRacing]

Enjoy!

[@Matt-hw6so]

Thanks!

[@LovelySimRacing]

Thank you too!

[@haraldrieder691]

Thanks

[@LovelySimRacing]

Much appreciated!

[@DanSuzuki]

Looks like a lovely combination :)

[@LovelySimRacing]

Thanks, and there's more planned...

[@John-ok8ts]

This looks like the best wheel out there . I love the look and weight. Shame i just could never use one so big. Please bring out a 280mm version of this for us formula car drivers.

[@giuliomaule835]

Amazing video! If I ever get enough money to buy this masterpiece I will be able to set it!!

[@kurtandersen813]

Way to go, nice work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TiagoSilva-zg5gc]

This is awesome... Great video... Now we need to pester Mr Ascher to include the stickers you made for the dials😂😂😂

[@LovelySimRacing]

No need to pester him at all ;)

[@jameslovell749]

@@LovelySimRacing Those are looking real good as I mention already. Any chance to post some kind of template for us to create our version? 😇

@@nickb9504 I am working on this. I will have an update in May... join my Discord for more information lsr.gg/discord

[@victorchamorro5978]

Thanks so much for all....amazing work.... I love it but I'm having a hard time deciding whether ddu or this steering wheel with a screen... both at the same time... I don't know if it makes much sense Thanks again!

[@LovelySimRacing]

That’s a valid point. I prefer a separate DDU myself, but that is why I created the Lovely Dashboard Companion. You also have the option of the Artura Pro, which is basically the same wheel without a screen.

[@silvio5006]

For me there is no reason to have not a screen on the wheel. More screens better it is.. What you let show on the screen is your choice and when it's a picture of your children's for example... No matter what, a screen more doesn't hurt, it hurts only your wallet 😁

[@silvio5006]

Crazy shit with the dial and information on the lovely dashboard.. Amazing work, can't wait to get my ultimate.....The right decision to buy this stunning wheel...

[@ARA_G_dog]

Where could i find the sticker you have around the rotary??

[@LovelySimRacing]

I now have them on my Store. You can find them at store.lsr.gg

[@RacingWithChuck27]

How’s the paddle clutches are they too long. I have small/medium gloves I wear. That and the McLaren logo is my jesitation

[@LovelySimRacing]

The Clutch paddles on the Artura are both long and have a rather large throw. I don’t use a clutch, so I cannot comment if this is good or not. But just by testing for the clutch bite point, I can say that they are easy to teach, and very easy to modulate. They are smooth as butter, and the long throw allows you to modulate the clutch better. Compared to the Simagic (if this helps) they are softer. I’m a McLaren fanboy, so I love the logo. Also, did you know that all F1 cars ECU’s are made by McLaren? They’re called McLaren Applied… so I guess everyone has a bit of McLaren within them :)

[@RacingWithChuck27]

@@LovelySimRacing That’s great information, good to know. I’ve decided to go with the pro, I can’t see me looking at the display on the wheel, especially since I sit 20” from the wheel. Your affiliation is a 5% discount with Ascher ?

[@LovelySimRacing]

I've mentioned this myself, the Pro + DDU is ideal. Yes, you get a 5% discount using "LOVELYDASH" during checkout... it's a win-win for both of us. Thanks!

[@jcsquared1111]

Currently running GSI Hyper P1 ready for another wheel, cannot make up my mind between this, or the Cube Control GT x2.

[@LovelySimRacing]

No brainer really. I have nothing against the Cube, it’s just that the features on this are just insane. Note: I have never used or owned a Cube wheel. My opinion is solely based on my Ultimate experience. I also do have affiliate with Ascher. Whatever you decide, you can also get a 5% off Ascher stuff using “LOVELYDASH”

[@CynicalManInBlack]

Can you please tell us what dash is shown on the overhead monitor behind you? It looks awesome.

[@LovelySimRacing]

That’s the Lovely Pit Wall. A full width (screen) dedicated Dashboard. It is available to Pro Lovely Members… and a new version is due this week. You can become a Lovely Member and support this project: lsr.gg/membership

[@silvio5006]

​@@LovelySimRacingohhh nice to hear, i love the lovely pitwall... 👍

[@TheF00]

Does this work with iracing ?

[@LovelySimRacing]

Of course.

[@John-ok8ts]

I have the srm emulator hub and you don't need the little thing you showed as it has the pins. The weird thing is I'm pretty sure I saw it acting as a spacer. Why need both?

[@LovelySimRacing]

It depends on how you decide to connect. I’m using the single SRM Tiny emulator so I don’t need the electronics in the hub.

[@John-ok8ts]

@@LovelySimRacing But why not use the emulator in the hub and not risk leaving it in and braking one of your fanatec rims by mistake?

[@LovelySimRacing]

Personal preference I guess. Also, if you have many wheels, you only need one tiny emulator for all. In the end, you can go either way…

[@MadMike991]

What display are you using on the top (4th) monitor? And what DDU?

[@LovelySimRacing]

I have 3x Samsung 32” G5, 1 x AOC 32” (on top). And for my DDU’s, I’m using a SimDash 6.8” Bosch for my main DDU and a Simutec SDU-3 5” for my secondary. Check the links in the description for discounts. All links are affiliates, so you’re also supporting the project at no expense :)

[@MadMike991]

Thanks, running Lovely Dash on my Gomez Hyper P1. It’s excellent! I recently got a fourth monitor so I may subscribe to get your pit wall.

[@chillachriz27]

@Lovely Sim Racing, thx 4 your Work. I got my Artura yesterday, when will the update coming out? Thx Sir

[@LovelySimRacing]

This is already available for Lovely Members. More features will be added in the future as well…

[@jameslovell749]

My DD1 requires me to acknowledge usage of high torque when I powered it on, I need to press button on my steering wheel to get high torque (at least this is how I am acknowledging it). Otherwise it works with basic torque which is I belive only 40% of full torque. How that acknowledgement works with emulator, is it possible to acknowledge it in another way?

[@LovelySimRacing]

Yes it is! When you power your base on and it concludes it's boot up cycle (stops rotating), turn your steering wheel 90 deg to the left and hold it. After a moment, it will nudge you and let you know high torque is enabled.

[@jameslovell749]

​@@LovelySimRacing Have the base for more than 2 years and didn't know about this🤫

[@LovelySimRacing]

@jameslovell749 I’m always learning too!

[@Flo071089]

Hey, you have these rings printed on the control dials? Or where did you get them? I'd put them on too. Thank you

[@brendanhobbart]

Excellent stuff! Looking forward to trying the Lovely Dashboard integration with my Artura Pro SC. I assume it will work there, yes?

[@LovelySimRacing]

Yes it will - There are some tweaks being finalized now, but it will support that wheel as well.

[@Joggy-ru9xo]

Hello Cinstantinos. I have buy this wheel and i want to ask you about the labels what you have made. I am a full members of lovely dasboard. Can i download this stickers ? many greets from an old german people 🙂. Many greets Jürgen

[@LovelySimRacing]

Hello Jürgen! The stickers are now available as a sticker which you can purchase over on my store. Default and customisable options are available... Visit store.lsr.gg

[@JuStiCe1er]

will it work on MOZA at the end ?

[@LovelySimRacing]

With the correct QR, sure.

[@lapinobel]

I have an Artura McLaren Sport but consider to upgrade to this. Is the USB version also compatible with SC2Pro? Or is it either USB or wireless, not combined?

[@LovelySimRacing]

This is the response I got from Ascher: "No, it's either Simucube Wireless or USB. However, all USB versions can be used wirelessly with the Asetek wheelbase."

[@lapinobel]

@@LovelySimRacing ok thx, guess I'll need to sell my Sport now to get the Ultimate :)

[@maximodiazrivera5667]

Nice video!!!!! Congratulations!!!! One question, the buttons can be mapped , to blink ? Perhaps low/high beam? Pit limiter animation?

[@LovelySimRacing]

That is related to LED profiles, which you'd probably want to take a look at Daniel Newman's work.

It’s a start :)

[@Justdigit2]

Great video.. Love your content... But never ever going to spend this money on a wheel. Thanks.

[@LovelySimRacing]

That is completely understandable. Sim Racing is a black hole ;)

[@papolo2001]

You can not go against physics.... for the same wheelbase and considering two wheels of the same diameter, if one is heavier than the other the base will need to apply more Nm, more torque, to rotate it, so the FFB and the details can not be better!, if the base is powerful enough the extra weight may not affect in an appreciable way, but is impossible the extra weight make it better, and this is not an opinion, is just physics man!, just facts!!.... if you start your video saying this wheel (that I do not doubt at all about its quality, in fact I am seriously considering to buy one) enhance the FFB because is heavy compared to a lighter ones....man, this is treating your viewers as stupid, this is a straight lie. The wheel is great without any doubt, top notch, you do not need to lie saying this straight lie in the first 2 minutes of the video to promote it, this is called misinformation, this is making no favor to Ascher in my honest opinion...

[@LovelySimRacing]

When you do try the wheel, you will understand why it's better. Also, this is my personal opinion... Physics play a part of it when describing numbers, I'm talking about the sensation and feeling you get with a much heavier wheel than I previously had ever tried. And I'm certainly not lying about how this wheels feels ;)
