Boosted Media Full Sim Rig & Studio Tour

It's been a few months now since we moved into the new studio space, and we've had time to iron out some kinks and get things running smoothly. So today let's take a more detailed tour of the Sim Rig and Studio, how everything works and how we've overcome some of the challenges and limitations of the technology available.

[@NoradNoxtus]

Dude your ability to talk on the fly and still be able to systematically explain this massive rig is amazing xD

[@jedijon1228]

Wow guys does not seem that long ago we were watching you in your dining room - so impressive where you are now - keep up the great content guys .....

[@nenadvladisavljevic4256]

You organized everything beautifully and placed it where it should be, well done, bravo

[@gueifaopedro]

Will your setup is just wonderful. It's one of the most well built setup if not the best I've seen to date. And attention, I work in a TV production company, I' m an IT specialist hardware and network. The space, the lighting, the taste for materials, not to mention the well-chosen equipment, which is 5 stars. What can we say to thank you for the excellent content you have given us all these years. Accompanying its growth and investment has been a joy in addition to the super realistic videos. Who wouldn't want to one day sit on your Rig and do some laps... I would love to, but I'm a long way from Australia. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the commitment and effort. It is guaranteed my number 1 youtuber, and in a way a friend of my heart. A huge hug, many more successes and every day I'm here to follow the contents. Thank you Thank you from Portugal ❤🙏

[@Gizfreek]

Simply love the whole setup, also huge props to you for building this awesome double PC rig and not throwing it into a normal case and tossing it into a corner.

[@insidethreewide7133]

Very impressive! I never would have thought so much work and technology is going on behind the scenes. And what an amazing network setup you have as well! Thank you for such an amazing tour of your entire setup!

[@Totem9519]

It's been an inspiring thing watching you progress in these last years. Hard work wins!

[@Thefundamentalist40]

This is amazing and gives me a lot to work for. Thank you for sharing and providing insight. The amount of work and research involved to produce this show is staggering. You deserve all the success. God bless. 🙏

[@DouglasThom]

Thanks for the tour! Oddly enough, I really appreciated hearing about your networking solutions. I'll be looking into that.

[@chrisc3825]

You've really perfected your craft. good for you man! It shows in the final product.

[@jeremysumpter8939]

Man, what a gig. You are smart, you had a hobby, and now not only do you get paid for it, but you get most all your gear for free now. talk about 6d chess 300 iq move lol, happy for you guys

[@ClarkeScott]

Great job boys. Will your commentor on the go is so good. And Tom's camera work is couples well together. Great to see just how far you've come.

[@kidMclean]

Looks amazing, well done and thanks for all your hard work to bring us such amazing content 👏

[@dayyaanpatelia2755]

Still the best setup I've come across! Well done gents!

[@anthcesana]

Amazing setup mate. Really well done and a level of polish and perfectionism that I can definitely admire.

[@gdarazi]

looking to a few years back, you have come a long long way ! Excellent work and plenty of effort there, so, enjoyed every bit of your video, keep it UP!

[@trailingrails9953]

Definitely have one of the most thought-out setups I’ve seen. Everything has its purpose and place.

[@garrysamson4656]

I have been a big fan since I got hook with SIM racing last year! Amazing setup as always Will!

[@heelandtoeknee]

Thanks once more for the amazing insights, Will! 😍 it’s a breathtaking setup you guys build in that garage! 💪 so, you go with only one hue strip now?! I bought 3x 2 meter strips and wanted to start ceiling mounting next weekend. Hm… 🤔 keep it up and have a good week! 👋

[@BearWa11ace]

Been enjoying your vids. All the best to you and yours.

[@SABR3TRONTv]

Love it mate.. absolutely amazing set up. Well done

[@thoritissimgarage1482]

That is one of the coolest PC cases/cart ever.

[@awolnation2446]

Looking amazing y’all! Pretty wizard.

[@bugattibeefcake]

Super good tour, looks quite cozy to be honest Definitely gonna take some inspiration for myself!

[@zeahroela]

Amazing setup for amazing content! Keep it up! Cheers!

[@bimmerboi_hutch]

appears you went with swisstrax for the floors...best stuff ever! I've had swisstrax installed in my garage for going on 3 years now and it's as good as new! It literally transforms any space that its in

[@loveforsimracing8197]

Just absolutely amazing Will.

[@MikeOzmun]

Dude you're a legend. This is amazing.

[@juniorbongo2058]

So cool! You are living the dream

[@SweetMooch]

That ALT F4 license plate is badass

[@djvoo19]

Just mind blowing set up, amazing 👌👌👌

[@AndietheLab]

Wow perfect timing - 🎉🎉🎉

[@rrschmid]

wonderful setup Will!

[@totoosarts]

Enjoying your videos, good luck and wish you all the best， cheers。

[@lukefisher328]

If ever there was an advert for sim racing. Makes me want to hop into my rig.

[@Feyenoord010Rotterdam]

And people call me crazy spending €3500 for my simple rig with fanatec wheel and pedals just to race😂😂 This is insane but so beautiful and well done!

[@garnettslick1458]

Bro that setup is sick love the video keep making great video bro 👍

[@MrCliiiCK]

Great vid of your setup, thnx! you might have given me some inspiration for my own setup. But that is a few-ish 1000-dollars and atleast a year away, either way you make it look easy. Keep up the good work! :)

[@SimRacingFanDK]

What a beautiful organised and totally overkill system i LOVE IT and i wish i could do the same 😊 ❤️

[@OZIPUG1970]

I just finished some laps around Bathurst in the 64 Honda f1 car with the VR2 lol it's crazy but a little motion sickness for my first VR experience 😅 Tonight after work I'll try a slower car on a flat track.

[@aaronf4201]

Still waiting for my delivery 😢

[@Major_Watts]

Wonder if Will and the team nabbed at PSVR2 to test.. would love their insights!

[@mattorey5816]

This thing is so wild. I get into my rig at home that I built for around $1000 and it feels amazingly immersive. This is so beyond next level.

[@tapidlittle13]

great video again Will, I would love to see how you produce a video, from capturing, to editing, to putting it online.

[@RTAMOTORSPORTS]

Serious goals there!!

[@faisalnoras1219]

It's all about money, good job

[@racingfanatic1019]

Amazing setup, wish my setup was like yours

[@redbelliedgaming]

OK this setup is such a dream setup for me 😍

[@SweetMooch]

Sick setup bro! What about using micro led panels like they use at concerts? They have curved ones and you could make a wall that surrounds you. I wish I had the money to do it myself.

[@chappo5410]

Wow amazing Will😮

[@simoncheshire3820]

Still don't get bored of seeing your studio tours. Amazing set up. Even though I've seen it X amount of times. But I do have a question for you. How much do you just jump on and play and do a race? Like what most people do I guess. Without actually necessarily making content and 'work' side of stuff.

[@02bluehawk]

Love the PCs in the tool cart super cool. I am confused on why you have your other 2 PCs open with out a case and no glass or covers on the tool cart. Arnt you concerned about dust build up?

[@Hyatchi]

Keep up the good work

[@low.lands.simracer8574]

I love how he's like oh yeah this is just the old 3090 like it's bad

[@katrachosmoke31]

I Love that rig Is a monster setup. congratulations I know you enjoy. I try to do the best I can to have old most like you got but no the 3 4k monitor.

[@boostedmedia]

You really don't need monitors like that unless its for content creation specifically. There are far more practical and cheaper ways to achieve a very similar result from a driving perspective.

[@kylef2678]

Really enjoyed this little tour - thanks for showing us the changes. Also, the little transition at 24:35 - nicely done!

[@ISAK.M]

I needed this after watching that video from a year ago

[@GMCRaptor]

Great vid mate, surprised you don’t use any transducers on the rig. Bang for buck I find them very immersive even with motion.

[@Outlaw210]

Insane setup and way more advanced then I could ever achieve and I understand there’s a lot of things that have wires here but the lack of wire management drive me mad

[@boostedmedia]

It’s pretty much impossible to manage much further then this because of how we’re always changing stuff.

[@SomeDudeDan]

Thanks for the tour! I'm actually building a simrig based on yours, the only thing I'm planning to change, is to use three LG C2 65" OLED TVs instead of the HP OMEN X Emperium displays.

[@boostedmedia]

You’re welcome. Make sure you watch this video first though….. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqGqYmxvlLuSjtE

[@peadookie]

Hey man, this is a super cool video. I have no desire to run a KZbin channel, but I'm always curious what it's like!

[@trevorjlewis]

awesome, does look incredible on the triple 65s. I have triple 49 running 4k and the interior of the car looks too narrow with the cage sitting too near to the centerline on my setup. Can you share your FOV settings please. Also if I remember correctly you are using a 4090 are you running that with Nvidia surround still at 11520x2160? I have AMD 6900xt and it struggles with hitting 60FPS with mostly high and some ultra settings. So I'm currently using the Simple Windows Runtime Editor to stretch the game across 3 screens each @ 3840x2160 without using eyefinity. Knowing what your graphics settings would be useful maybe to us other triple screen users, (although I'm impatiently waiting for my preferred VR version to come out).

[@E90_Alpine_White]

The drum and bass music in the transitions is always fire!!🔥 and that’s coming from an american where that style of music is not really popular at all!! Good stuff will keep it up, love the content

[@campos1820]

Amazing video and setup, Will!! What angle/degree did you set the screens to? I am having issues with my triple 48s and I’m thinking I should bring the side screens a few degrees inwards. Thanks!

[@boostedmedia]

I set it up so the centre of each screen is the same distance from my eyes. Ended up being 57 degrees for me but don’t just copy my angles

[@campos1820]

@@boostedmedia Thank you, mate! Cheers!

[@ulaserdogan5577]

geography is your destiny this video explains it very well

[@Prickles2001]

Wild!

[@DriveCancelDC]

It's actually crazy how simple the screen setup is vs. what I expected from seeing the cockpit view lol (not in a bad way)

[@MannyDer]

That's a good idea with the bezels. I purchased the kit and ended up sending it back because I couldn't get it to lay flat on the screen

[@ted209884]

Hi Will. Great to see the setup looking fantastic. Gratz. I have a quick question about your Rig build. Where did you get the black panels to enclose it from? I can't seem to find anything similar here in the UK 😒

[@boostedmedia]

They’re from a local hardware store. They were called “acoustic pinboards”

[@ted209884]

@@boostedmedia Thanks for the swift reply man. Appreciate that. I'll start scouring some stores when I get home from overseas. I loved the simplicity of it as I was going to build some elaborate aluminum profile contraption around my DOF H3 😂 I'm looking to cover the top and hang some blacklight curtains to fully enclose it and maximize on the Hue lighting too. Did you experiment with this originally before settling on the open triple boards?

[@bgdaddy42069]

dude im not going to lie that duel pc is the collest fucken thing i have ever seen and i watch a bunch of pc build that thing is so sick it looks so clean too

[@ultimaevo77]

Amazing setup mate! Do you find yourself using the screens or the varjo aero when you want to do some racing on your own without recording for the channel?

[@boostedmedia]

I don’t race in VR much at the moment. I prefer the screens most of the time.

[@bretchid8759]

number plate on the bmw is awesome

[@DQFG]

What length cables are you using to connect your displays to the 4090 and what brand? Thanks!

[@VisionZGT3]

Another cool video man, I'm a manager at BMW here in the UK, Don't sell the M2, They won't be making them like that ever again and it's a stunner

Great video, I'm impressed by your setup as always ! Most of your racing content is shot with a GoPro for the hyper-realistic effect, but do you capture your sim screens for content creation sometimes ? If yes, how do you achieve that ? The fact that there is no affordable displayport capture card accessible to anyone is a problem when you want to capture on another machine and keep your screens pluggled with a DP to enjoy high refresh rates, g-sync, ... Cloning the middle screen to an HDMI output is not really a solution as you'll have to sync the frequency of the outputs. So I can only see the solution of running OBS (or any capture software) on the same machine but at the cost of an overhead.

[@boostedmedia]

All the racing content is done with the GoPro 10.

[@LuckyOctober]

Can you give some detail on the piece of string keeping the bezal free kit together? I tried looking at some of Karl's videos and didn't find it.

[@101mattais]

Sick set up! Does anyone know how long the d-box actuators would last?

[@deanrussell40]

Great video as always. Question how do you run gsync and have overlays at the same time. my gsync turns off when the overlays start up

[@boostedmedia]

I don’t run any overlays

[@christinesweetnam]

Love the number plate on the car and would your favourite colour be blue by any chance?

[@funhobbies]

🔴🏁It's fantastic, i like it.

[@moto649]

Wow, unbelievable setup. A dream! Off the wall question. Do race the Yamaha? I am old motocross racer here in the states. Thanks for everything you do Will .

[@boostedmedia]

Nah I just ride around with my son at home. I used to race 30 years ago but can’t afford to hurt myself nowadays.

[@moto649]

@@boostedmedia Ditto, too many broken bones. Sitting in the rig racing cars has taken over. Much safer. Thanks again

@@olivierfritzen2749 lol that is bad too, takes 3 months to get internet if you are fresh moved in

[@99MrJ99]

Could you do a video about the type of sim rig you would build if content creation wasn't the primary factor. More for immersion for the user. Cheers

[@SpaceGravy]

On wind simulators being unrealistic, the whole point of sim racing is to trick the brain. Sometimes it’s easier to do that with a painting than a photograph.

[@brett22bt]

WOW!

[@mrbell845]

Hey Will. Where is the video that shows how to use the string method with Asus Bezel Free Kit?

[@5speedsimracer]

Random question but out of the four which do you think will be better for sim racing on a screen but also vr? RTX 3070+Intel i7 12700 RTX 3070+Intel i5 8500 RTX 3070Ti+Ryzen 7 5700g Raedon RX 6600XT+Ryzen 7 5700g Thanks you in advance

[@MrKlawUK]

do you have a video going through how to set up those hue lights? Wondering how they’re driven (hopefully not needing expensive hue sync box..)

[@boostedmedia]

Sure do, and no, you don’t need the sync box - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2iWh3yHq7eSp7s

[@Chief-Instructor]

Please tell us what the 2 displays are on the main systems trolley 🙂i.e. the LCD dashboards.

[@bpnealon62]

Hey Will, Ive been wanting to source that plastic interlocking tile flooring that you have in my garage as well. Where did you get yours from ?

[@boostedmedia]

Company is called Ground One

[@marcelschope1638]

Hey Will, You are using 3 65 inch TVs for your rig. Did you connect the 3 with DP to HDMI adapter? If so, what about GSync Freesync or VRR ? What do you use to synchronize the monitors with the game?

[@boostedmedia]

They aren’t TVs. They’re monitors with DP. I’m not using any adaptors.

[@NickDoddTV]

A guy can dream 😍

[@Fincher123]

I Just got a 4K 120Hz TV for my desk and my RTX 2070S only has 2.0 output but 1.4 Display Port. SO i ordered a Cable for 8K 1.4 DisplayPort PC and HDMI Out to TV. SO i can get in use of the full freshness from 120Hz in 4K.

[@paulheyhoe]

Have you watched the video by Daniel Morad on the active pedals? For this level of setup they would be fantastic, if a little expensive..

[@bryanlettvin5274]

how do you get the monitors to seamlessly connect together? it all looks like one massive screen.

[@partytime11]

That computer rig on the cart looks fuckin awesome yet insane idk what I would do with that

How far away is the monitor from your eyes and what angle are the screens to each other?
