Ultimate Multi-Screen Racing Simulator

[@gordslater]

at 2:26 you can see the urine drain bucket on the side of the chair (black). I prefer a leg bag so when I'm finished gaming I can just roll into bed and let it siphon out to a bottle on the floor using gravity. Doing that keeps the flies down too, because flies mean spiders and the webs block your fan filters

[@marcrowland10]

ummm.............what the actual fuck?

[@Barnacules]

Most creative comment ever! #YouGetACookie

[@Barnacules]

Thank you sir! I just did a review on the SimVibe software and it's uploading now. Makes the simulator 100% better, now I gotta get more transducers!

[@lancelacour6717]

One of the coolest setups, coupled with a great demo. Thanks.

[@Barnacules]

Yes! When it goes to production with the higher resolution I will absolutely buy one. I just wanted to avoid the dev kit for now.

[@matthewcoleman8267]

Why the sound absorption material on the roof behind the screens? oh and could you strap a go-pro to your head so we can see it more from your perspective. I would love a set up like yours. Sadly, being in the UK are houses aren't as generous as yours so I'd have to set it up in one half of the garage lol

[@Barnacules]

I will post some gameplay from a POV perspective when I get my new Pivotheads back.

[@matthewcoleman8267]

Cheers Jerry

[@Barnacules]

I have 5x Buttkicker LFE SE transducer on the way and the AMP is getting ordered tonight. If you're on a budget just get a Buttkicker v2 and run with the one transducer.

[@thelongboarddude95]

Sooo you bought all that shit and then use it for NASCAR??? That's like using it for mario kart ...

[@wiredsk8r]

hey Mario cart owns high speed drifting with violence !!

[@Cedar77]

thelongboarddude95 That's what I thought.

[@fastshift267]

wiredsk8r "Drifting" AKA hitting a button.

[@DzenyM]

thelongboarddude95 Exactly what I thought, and so I went to look through the comments because someone probably had the same thought xD

[@AlphaXY13]

He plays iRacing often

[@Barnacules]

Just contacted DSD, a lot of people have been telling me I should use their stuff and I really want to after seeing the website! Plus I got there T500RS wheel adapter on my sim right now to fit the Sparco racing wheel and I love it.

[@malinkulasekera69]

Do you own an Occulus rift? Also, euro truck simulator would be amazing on that.

[@RWoody1995]

ive played euro truck simulator 2 on triple screens and duuude it is nice :D Can't wait to get my hands on an oculus whenever it comes out, saving saving saving, was thinking of getting a T500RS but oculus first methinks :P

[@Barnacules]

Yup! 2005 Aspen White Subaru WRX STi (Stage 2). I sure love her!

[@MohammadNihalShaikh]

damn what do you do for living?! how are you able to buy all these things

[@MohammadNihalShaikh]

was? ***** what does he do now?

[@dxbkillerman]

Mohammad Nihal Shaikh He's doing KZbin fulltime now

[@SuperDarius01]

***** He does but it is not his job. He has released one game that has not made him all that much money.

[@mikeblitz4029]

Mohammad Nihal Shaikh Not that much when its a hobby. Your looking at about $2300 on Tech and whatever he spent on the PC Rig. So not that much... When you invest your money into things you enjoy.

[@Barnacules]

I completely agree, I think it was a compromise I had to make to have a quickly accessible workstation and a racing sim occupy the same space. That being said I bet if I sat down and planned it out I could find a way to get closer to the screens. Like maybe put the screens on sliders so I can pull them out like a drawer.

[@95racerx]

Forget the racing wheel! I want the '04 Subaru STi sitting in the background of the outside shot!!!

[@Barnacules]

2005 Cobb Stage 2, I love it!

[@Barnacules]

I'm rooting for it as well, I would love to play a racing sim with good low latency motion tracking and wide FOV.

[@ricardoslhenriques]

Hey, here´s an idea! How about GETTING LAID? xD It is cheaper and i can assure you it is A LOT MORE FUN!!!

[@Barnacules]

What about after? Need something to do while you recharge. :P

[@ColourGamingScheme]

He has a wife and a kid... Soo yeh.

[@ricardoslhenriques]

[@MisterWhoopass]

Why would you not set the stick to be manual 6 gear if you can?

[@wesleyjanse6600]

+Jim Shibo maybe Iracing doesnt support it

[@joachimpeiper7471]

+WessTech it supports it.

[@chrisdolan1683]

+Ap Selection He means why would you choose a sequential over a standard 6-speed setup.

[@haripraveen1992]

I don't have either money or resources to create such an simulator but watching you playing that actually satisfies my mind,. thank you :)

[@xDropps]

u should be on PKA

[@Barnacules]

That would be epic.

[@OhItsThat]

Barnacules Nerdgasm Love this video! You have any tips for video quality/performance when It comes to gaming on big screen TVs? I have a 50" 6 series Samsung LED 3D tv and my PC is i7 4770k with Asus DCU II GTX 680 TOP. Games look good but I feel they should look better. thanks dude!

[@Barnacules]

Absolutely! But only if they make a 4K version because 1080p divided between two eyes is not enough resolution.

[@Schranzoslavek]

00:45 "let's pull this thing out and have some fun" THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!

[@Barnacules]

It's just the camera angle, these are not IPS panels so the brightness changing depending on the viewing angle. They are calibrated to look the same from where I sit.

[@subtlyobvious]

0:14 If you look closely you can tell it's not plugged in

[@Barnacules]

I have not had any squeaking problems at all but when I first installed them I put some silicone oil on everything that moved.

[@jean9910]

There are better setups on youtube where the seat has hydroponics and so moves based on the situation. Though this is very cool if you are into racing.

[@majestikherbavor]

hydroponics...

[@jean9910]

Ahahhaha my auto correct kicked in. No not gardening simulator I meant hydraulics.

[@f0gGenx]

***** cannabis cultivation lol

[@seiya209]

hey jean, do you have good brand involving that hydraulics technology? or something really "interesting"? cheers from Cuba

[@Barnacules]

I switch it up from time to time depending on what I'm doing. I mostly like rally racing so I leave it in bump mode.

[@aciandru]

So running around in an oval is called racing? Cool.

[@FastFame2919]

So boring

[@XplodingTurtle]

Alexander do all you nascar haters have to complain abot it all the time?

[@Barnacules]

I have but I need a longer USB extension to make it work with the sim. I ordered some up so when it finally shows up I'll give it a try.

[@MrAeroHD]

Thousands of dollars, and he's still in Rookie street stock. :/

[@Barnacules]

Yup... I'm not a good driver but I have fun trying! :D

[@Painless1992]

You know what, you can't buy a skill.

[@leonidasboo]

more importantly, he is running nascar.... :'(

[@MrAeroHD]

Leonidas Diakou Oval is SUPER fun when you get to high level

[@leonidasboo]

***** Dont you get bored of turning left? i mean look at how thrilled Barnacules was.

[@Barnacules]

You bet, I thought about building a custom desk that goes all the way around the room some day but these tables just look and work too good!

[@MaliciousShipBuilder]

Imagine Playing The New GTA V On Pc With That... It Would Probably Make You Turn Your Self Into The Cops IRL.

[@akmp40]

It would be terrible, cars turn way too well in it.

[@alejandromerrin6331]

just be the get away driver all the time while your friends rob the store and kill the cops

[@KieranDoesMC]

PixelMode You have the keyboard and mouse aswell remember

[@Cedar77]

WesPlaysMC GTA V driving mechanics suck too hard for that.

[@Barnacules]

Yeah the motions seats are cool, I might invest in one some day.

[@huskymoto4713]

Can i use ihud for all Games or only for rfactor ?

[@NorwayVFX]

I think it only works on iRacing and LFS.

[@huskymoto4713]

ok

[@TCOxFR3NCHY3]

The fourth monitor makes it that much better. Nice setup Jerry!

[@Yaarvis1]

This video just made me sad and depressed.

[@CRlSTO]

omg wow at 4:10 this looks amazing, I was never into racing games, or simulators, but with your set up and view, that looks like an amazing experience

[@TravisArk]

at this point just buy the car

[@FlamingoArtz]

+Travis Ark well that is cheap?

[@BoonieDutchman]

Yeah I dont think you can race in real without consuquences, I own a car and g27+oculus rift combo, while real car is well real you cant do much with it legally but with this you can have alot of good time without consuquences

[@YoloMonstaaa]

+TheIKAIKAIKA Yeah, that's the point of gaming. Doing stuff that you can't do in real life, I can't race a concept car in real life.

[@inthepocket9136]

+Travis Ark Right. But without the tickets.

[@daftmell5237]

if you buy a 4000 € sim racing setup to play dirt rally, you save 11000€ that you would have to spent to even rally 1 time in real life soooo

[@TerryRed]

The Modular Man-Cave! Driving & Flight Simpit, 3x 27" screens, 61" LED DLP TV, G25, Saitek X52 Pro Just recently found your channel... love the nerdiness! I also have a simpit that I built for real cheap. It's unique compared to the others out there in that it's both a racing and a flight simpit all in one with a rotating console for your shifter/flightstick. I also needed to have a setup that was modular, so I could use all of my kit independently with each other, as you'll see in my link above. I have other minor updates, like using a PS3 eye for Freetrack, and dedicated speakers for the simpit. While I currently have x3 27" screens, I plan on going x3 42" or 46". My current PC is an i5 4670K (OC to 4.5 ghz) with just an H100 cooler, and x2 gtx 670 in SLI. I am very much like you and play pretty much everything (on everything) there is out there. If I had a bigger budget, there would be MUCH more I would have... tis the life of an Army Communications Electronics tech for the Canadian Forces.

[@MollyPopper]

The whole time he looks bored and depressed. Go outside and get some fresh air

[@mrivs1154]

It's cause he's just driving around in circles on Nascar

[@BJAntonio46]

IvsChrisGaming That's why you do dirt racing and actually drift around, I do it in real life and rFactor. Much more exiting, slidejobs and such...

[@Barnacules]

I really want to use the sim vibe software now! Once I get it up and running with my one transducer I'm going to see about getting a 2nd buttkicker.

[@squidcaps4308]

Monitors are way too far. You have to remember that the center screen is the important one, the side screens are just a bonus. Seating position is not quite right, too much lean and too low as the top of the wheel sits above shoulder height. That's not right at all, you are limiting blood flow to your arms.. Arms at 90 degrees, sit up straight, wheel down, monitors half a meter closer. And finally, iRacing.. The minimum requirements on that game should include "top level douche".. Like the video said "don't call it a game".. Yeah, they are just that bad, possibly the most elitist bunch in any game ever made. Good equipment, needs a lot of tweaking to get it working right.

[@LazerLord10]

Watching this, I just realized how much of an improvement something like an Oculus rift would be. Just think, instead of needing three huge monitors on your desk in order to fill your field of view, you could just put the rift on your head and go.

[@Barnacules]

Check out my DK1 Oculus Rift review, it was not usable for iRacing at all because of the low resolution and screen door. But once that fix that problem it will be epic!

[@LazerLord10]

Hopefully. I've gotten some time with the DK2, and it's 1080p, but it's still a bit low. they also got rid of the screen ghosting and (most of) the input latency. Then again, I've never played an actual game on it yet.

[@Barnacules]

***** I can't wait to try one if they got rid of that damn ghosting!

[@JohnDoe-jt9oq]

@@Barnacules They fixed that problem.

[@mjenabi2]

all that gear to play NASCAR? are u kidding me

[@Barnacules]

It's one video, I can't play every single race type, car, weather condition, sim, game, etc in one video :D

[@mjenabi2]

Barnacules Nerdgasm wow u actually replied!! can u play project cars on it if u have access to the beta?

[@Barnacules]

I don't do any F1 racing really, but if I do get into it I will pick one up.

[@screwloose455]

$20,000 racing simulator...$3.50 NASCAR game.

[@RemmixxOwns]

hes running Iracing.... costs quite a bit more than 3.50 lol

[@crimsondog93]

Remmixx owns still shitty..........needs a good Real game like need for speed

[@xTornado78x]

crimsondog93 Not sure if you're kidding... ...or you don't know what is a real racing simulation game. Need for Speed is arcade shit with unrealistic physics, non-linear steering and poor force feedback.

[@crimsondog93]

implying personal choice, i like street racing games and dislike simulator's if i wanna race ill go drive my own car fast on the free way or save up enough money to enter a race at a local speed way i have a race worthy car.

[@DavidMassieux]

crimsondog93 Still not a real game though, its arcadish with bad taste, no learning curve nor logic, even iR who's flawed is far better in pleasure as well as driving experience. To be honest GT5 and Forza although not being real sims are still better than any NFS now :/

[@xbexbe]

You have an STI outside your house and you are driving on a racing simulator indoors?

[@alejandromerrin6331]

maybe because if you crash your car in real life it cost more lol dumb fuck

[@xbexbe]

Alejandro merrin Lol I guess that is why you will be driving on a racing simulator forever.

[@alejandromerrin6331]

i wouldnt be spending that much money on a game steering wheel if i didnt own a car my self

Hello from Canada, Jerry. Great to see your setup; watched it on my 3 50" monitors. You'll love SimVibe.

[@SuPerbMusiCFan]

I am amazed how much money will some people pay just to play a game.Are you crazy?20 000 just to play virtual games that will bore you after a month or two?I better buy a real car for this money and go drive in France or Germany.

[@imtypingwords]

he spent 20g's on this? i like how he has like 4 different gauges but he is just driving an oval. WHAT GEAR AM I IN?!?!?!?! oh, 4th. thank god i know now

[@SuPerbMusiCFan]

Yes

[@imtypingwords]

what a waste

[@SuPerbMusiCFan]

Yes,i totally agree with you.

[@SuPerbMusiCFan]

Do you know what a car can you get for 20000$. You can buy yourself Ariel Atom V8 and still have money left to buy yourself set of tires and fuel for the next year.

[@TheDct88]

great setup the only thing i would change would be to cut a section of the desk out (but done in a way that it can fit back in so you can use it as a desk) so you can sit closer to the monitors

[@jootai]

[@bull_pinheiro]

why ppl waste money on shit before they even get decent at the games :(

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Because they can and you would too. Its not how good you are, its how much YOU enjoy yourself that matters

[@bull_pinheiro]

MaTtRoSiTy u clearly dont love gaming

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Márcio Bull What a fucking stupid comment. Why would someone who doesn't love something spend THOUSANDS of dollars on it? Just to torture themselves? That has got to be the stupidest logic I have heard in quite some time

[@bull_pinheiro]

MaTtRoSiTy if u think about spending in hardware before u get skill ure just a spoiled child... go get headset mouse keyboard top of the line pc and then cant shoot any one in cs (example) i just think its stupid, learn before u spend, and i was able to answer ur comments without beeing rude, i would apreciate the same

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Márcio Bull Who are you to dictate what enjoyment others get? If I fumble around, get owned and never make a kill but have a great time on my 5 grand rig, who are you to determine that I 'hate gaming'? If this guy, myself or anyone else can afford the hardware, then why not? Excuse me for being blunt, but your comment was just plain stupid

[@5000Wolvie]

ALl that for every other racing game too. It gives you a huge advantage. You know when wrecks happen, where, and can easely see how far aside you are from each other.

[@yasgamer]

Hey! Everyone who thinks that oval racing is only taking left turns, think again. I don't have an oval racing video yet, but as a fellow T500RS user I can tell that oval is as least as difficult to do compared to standard track racing. A car doesn't simply stay neutral in a long banked turn at 300km/h+ By the way, if Jerry is ever gonna read this: buy GRID Autosport! And create a team with me! Please?

[@Barnacules]

I have GRID and have played it, I found it a bit too arcadish to enjoy though.

[@yasgamer]

What about the latest one? I've played all of them and the realism is huge in comparison to GRID 1... Still nowhere near real sims

[@TheMadscientist1980]

You're absolutely insane. Learning an oval is nowhere near as difficult as learning a road course. Even a fairly short / simple road course such as Lime Rock has elevation changes, chicanes, decreasing radius turns, and a variety of braking points, turn in angles, and surface irregularities to learn. With ovals you have no more than 3 corners to learn turn in speed and angles for. I mean look at his hands when he's racing. They barely move. That isn't nearly as difficult as GT racing on a road course. Go do a few laps on Nordschleif and get back to me.

[@yasgamer]

Jason Kennedy I know that. I'm a road/track type myself. I just wanted everyone to stop bashing on a tech guy who is enjoying oval, even though he's not that good. And yeah, Nordschleife is insane. Just saying oval with a car as rudimental as a nascar racer requires more skill than the hating commenters think ;D

[@yasgamer]

By the way, don't mind me and my awful word choice in the original comment. Of course track racing is way harder

[@Barnacules]

I agree, they just need to ship a higher resolution version.

[@MotionGamingHome]

I love the little theme tune in this video and the mancave video it's in. It cheers me up a little! haha

[@seanmcmahon9255]

I know this video is 3 years old, this setup is badass!!!

Awesome Jerry! I've been watching you for a short while now and I must say that I have enjoyed every video I've seen. Thanks so much for all of your work. anxious to see more all the time. Also do you know if any of your HUD software works with other games. Maybe like MechWarrior Online....

[@trevor42699]

Bizarre music to have behind such a video... just something that struck me at the start. Deadly setup though. Really enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@Barnacules]

The only ones that I've seen that are better then mine are dedicated. I like that I can put mine away easily and continue to use the beefcake CPU and screens. But you are right, there are better dedicated simulators.

[@ringod123]

always like seeing your rig/racing videos. Still need to do a video of my setup, very similar to yours but im already using 2 100W transducers and simvibe, you'll love simvibe, especially with at least 1 more transducer!

[@BrotherOfMetal2]

If you've played Freespace or Freelancer, you owe it to yourself to check this out. It's a kick starter game that is basically the spiritual successor to Freelancer. It's already past 20 million dollars in crowd funds, and looks to blow away nearly everything made by publishers to date. Also helps that it's on the CryEngine3.

[@Barnacules]

lol, I mostly do road racing but I've been getting a lot of requests for oval.

[@michaelcragg8023]

awesome video saving up for my own gaming set up so you just earned a subscriber

[@EillonCross]

Great video, but without actuators I can't consider it anywhere close to "the best". But, I know you have the cash to turn this into the best. Can't wait to see how this setup of yours continues to upgrade! Again top notch video as always. 2012 example: motion racing simulator DIY skae87 2013 example: 6DOF stewart platform motion simulator

[@Barnacules]

I agree, I should have said the best prosumer grade setup :P I am planning on adding 5 large audio transducers and using simvibe soon!

No worries man, I know you will make it happen. Even in it's current state, it is still better than anything I have setup right now lol.

[@flavourboss]

Barnacules Nerdgasm Why? You are terrible at racing.

[@Blast66666]
