HYPER REALISTIC ACC - My First "Serious" Race!

[@Tinito1984]

This Simrace rig is so good that took me like 5 minutes to realise the hands are actual real life hands haha

[@davidbarth80]

Now that you're saying it lol

[@pranavps851]

And I thought it was VR. Can you explain this setup?

[@antoniothenatural]

@@pranavps851 I believe he has really flush rig setup (wheels pedals etc) directly against 3 65" monitors so its really hard to tell where his rig ends and the fake dash on the tv begins

[@Gorilla_Jones]

FYI, all these triple screen rigs are no where as immersive in real life. It’s only an illusion in a captive KZbin video.

[@sonicsupersam7793]

When I first saw this rig I thought the whole car was real and it was surrounded by monitors. And then I eventually realised the whole car wasn’t real but still thought the dash was hahaha

[@DoubleOhSteffan]

Loving the picture in picture of the overtakes, really cool!

[@Bruh-l9d]

The only downside of this is that it spoils us when and overtake is going to happen. Maybe you could add the picture just after the overtake took place

[@DoubleOhSteffan]

@@Bruh-l9d excellent point and suggestion

I like this idea also. Will give it a go for the next one and see how the reaction is.

I can not believe my eyes. Every part of my body (more so my brain) tells me this is real life racing and NOT simulation. This is really outstanding, I am mind blown and so is my friends I sent it too. This is going to be my new go-to channel on KZbin. I have seen many videos today, really awesome stuff you got Will.

[@jebwatson]

Your realization that you needed to get on the power a fraction sooner to plant the tires was really interesting to watch. I don't know that I would have picked up on that so quickly with a new car. Awesome setup, I always have to check that it is indeed sim racing and not the real thing! Definitely excited for more races from this channel!

I thought this was gonna be a game, then I thought you were recording irl, and then I realized that it was a game but your hands are real! Holy shit!

You not just a great driver but you are an example of how we have to enjoy the lucky to have such simulators! without rage or other s**ts! A pleasure to watch your races!

Kunos really made miracles with ACC... our hobby is in such a good place right now :) Only blip is VR is very poor compared to the competition - but honestly Ive been back in pancake mode due to ACC and race in 2d primarily again. Oh top notch content Mr Media - thanks !

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

I agree and wish they would work on VR and improve its performance and quality…horrible mess right now. Meanwhile I‘m on Automobilista 2 for a decent VR experience.

[@Hani_Santa]

This I love ACC, but without good VR I am not interested. I can only drive on 60hz on my reverb g2. 60hz on the reverb is not smooth enough for me. Hopefully Kunos takes VR really serious for AC 2!

[@SlowBloke123]

@@AttilaTheHun333333 I would not be surprised if this is as good as it gets with the engine version etc.. they chose for VR. Its fair to say they have tried but the fundamental is that its just so fuzzy at useable performance (5900x/3090 here). Im not mad though - its so bloody good outside of VR - as you say can just load up AMS2/PC2 or iRacing for first class VR experiences.

[@Hani_Santa]

@@SlowBloke123 I have exactly the same specs. I think the coming years more and more simracers will use VR. Hopefully people will choose engines specifically with VR in mind in thd future. They can't ignore us VR nerds anymore :p.

[@greenawayr08]

FSR has allowed me to crank all my VR settings in the Quest 2 right up, it's still not great, but I think that's partly down to the game, partly down to the Quest optics. But can hit a solid 90-100FPS with it which is as important as anything.

Aww maan your setup is nuts!! Well done mate!! I‘m a fan of yours big time!!!

[@SuperDesignermatt]

I became a new visitor to your channel during December and out of all the races I’ve watched in that time, I think that was your best one yet. I liked the commitment to the overtakes in this race, you were .50 sec quicker than than a lot of the cars in front. Jack Aiken was the only one matching your times, and he’s an F1 Reserve driver. I think you even stole fastest lap there.

[@YowserUK]

By co-incidence, I too have only just begun to try out ACC (moving on from Project Cars 2, can't afford iRacing). I'm trying to perfect 20 minute races with AI so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos over the next few weeks - although with my meagre skills I will probably never match your lap times! I started with Laguna Seca and I'm currently working on Spa and Bathurst, both of which I'm finding much easier than in Project Cars 2. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching!

Great content as usual, I especially like the ACC stuff. I’m new to sim racing (just over a month in) and I really enjoy ACC, I’m happy with the lap times I set in practice and can drive for over 20 mins consistently fast. But I’m finding as soon as I go against the AI I start spinning the car… often for NO REASON I’ll have navigated the first 2 laps and will be sat comfortably in the middle of the pack or top 10 with no cars near me and then for no reason BOOM I’ll spin the car. I know its a mental thing but I just can’t seem to shake it!

What’s so realistic about this is that the game simulated the dip on turn 6 that you can use to your advantage to speed through that corner! I don’t think any other game with Laguna seca does that!

[@duk1776]

[@Cocoloccomaya]

Bundan daha iyi bir setup henuz gormedim. Harika ❤️😎

[@CardNox]

Great video!! You mentioned you need some throttle application during the corners and not coast. This is partially track/car dependent but I know the McLaren can coast very well, so this is a setup issue (I won the Laguna Seca race in my leaguage this season with the McLaren). Then it depends when the car feels oversteery: Braking straight and trailbraking into the corner; might want to look at the front bumpstop rate/range and/or front bump. The front of the car is dipping to much causing less weight to be on the rear tires causing them to loose grip so limiting/slowing the movement in the front down will help with that. Aside from that you can also experiment a bit with the preload differential setting that will also keep the rear slightly more stable during corner entry.

[@boostedmedia]

Thanks very much! I’ll have a play!!

[@CardNox]

@@boostedmedia , sure thing. Hoping it helps. Keep up the good stuff, love your setup. When I show it to other people they are always confused it's 'just a game'.
