So my wife and me were watching a Freddie Mercury documentary. It may be Xmas but why watch something light and uplifting like Home Alone? I was moved but hanging in there. Then I saw the LMG video and the tears came. We've sold pedals to Le Mans, Indy and F1 winners. That always amazes me, but weirdly that is almost the new 'normal'. I've been watching LTT since before Whole Room Watercooling, and to see us featured on such a large mainstream channel kinda hit me, after damn Freddie nearly broke me! Since those earlier LTT days, LTT has grown a LOT, but remains honest, and with the new hardware test lab they're making, I can only have huge respect for that. Weirdly, Heusinkveld is 'kinda the same', I hope. We've grown a huge amount but I like to think that the simracing passion is still 100% there no matter what becomes of us in the future. I also used to wear socks and sandals, make of that what you wish. :)

[@SeaGLGaming]

13:10 There are two types of people in this world: those that can drive the Nordschleife blindfolded and those that smack the wall into Hatzenbach. A properly setup triple display absolutely helps (35-45 degree angles level and centered with the main monitor and properly configured in game). It's a massive boost in awareness being able to have your side mirrors and windows in view. Also helps some when it comes to hitting your marks around the track helping you hit your braking spots and hit apexes every time which helps a lot with consistency. Overall, you can absolutely achieve top of the leaderboard speed with a basic $150 Logitech clamped to your desk, but direct drive wheels, loadcell pedals, and triple monitor/VR setups can help a ton with consistency and awareness. Fanatec's FFB setups are overall solid to use out of the box. Max force of course isn't the best evidenced by you unable to turn the wheel. Only thing here that'll probably slow you down is the motion rig. It can be jarring and disorienting if the monitors are stationary, and you can get the necessary feedback from bass shakers like the Buttkicker at a 1000th of the cost although immersion from a motion rig is another story.

When learning a new sim or track, drive at a speed like you would on the street. 35-65 mph and then tweak the effects and car set up as you go. Push it a little harder once you memorize the track and get a feel for the game. Going all out on a sim or track you've never really learned will guarantee your car will be eating the barriers and walls. Give the tires and brakes a chance to warm up. In real life, you wouldn't go all out on a new car and new track you've never experienced. The gap in between the screens is driving me nuts.

Just a friendly sim racing tip; You never want TONS of force feedback. More FFB does NOT equal more realistic. You'll want to dial it down to feel more or less like hydraulic power steering in a street car. Ideal for Assetto Corsa and various games with them. From there you can increase it SLIGHTLY, without losing the hydraulic PS feel, but with seemingly less "assistance", for more bespoke or classic racecars.

I never get why 30nm is a thing..bragging rights? Or just more overhead to ensure longevity

@@tonyyimbo the real benefit of all the extra power is that you get a quicker response on the lower range, whereas on a budget wheel you get a "deadzone" feel around the very center. but yes, lots of simracers like to brag that they have a wheel that could actually cause serious injuries if used improperly

[@justinbwhite31]

@@tonyyimbo Yes... Normal race cars are somewhere in the range of 15-35nm. Logitech for example only puts out 3.5nm. So imagine a line graph starting from 0 up to 3.5, you only have that range for "feel", now imagine a line graph up to 35nm, you get a larger range for the "feel" to come into play. While you may turn the FFB down to say 25nm at peak torque, that is only for a small portion of the corner. Most sim racers are not fit like real life racers so they will use lower FFB. BoostedMedia does a great job explaining this.

Nah. Flight sims are better. In a car you're typically only facing forward, in a flight sim you can track targets throughout the entire size of the canopy, it's definitely the best. Driving is probably second. And it's definitely not quite there yet. Headsets currently are too noticeable or heavy to really be better than monitors. Especially if you're doing endurance racing or long periods a VR headset is probably going to be uncomfortable or at least sweaty.

Since you guys are beginners, I think it would be a lot more fun for you to try an easier car and easier track. A beat up old Countach on the Nürburgring is always going to be hard going. An MX-5, Caterham etc. at somewhere easy to learn like Lime Rock would be a lot better for you I think.

[@MegaCm123456]

Exactly. They picked the worst handling car at the most difficult track.

[@TheBlazingRiver]

It’s just a bit of fun bro, don’t overthink

[@ScottOmatic]

The Countach has very poor brakes for it’s speed. Definitely one of the most advanced street cars to drive in the game.

I dont think ive ever seen linus so overwhelmed about quality of the parts before and ive been here for 10 years now damn !

[@NFreund]

I mean, there is a reason why individual Sim Racing stuff is often even more expensive than the equivalent race car stuff. A pedal box for a GT4 is ~ 1000-1500, while if you get a hydraulic pedal box for your simrig can be up to 3000. Funniest thing though is Fanatec actually developing the GT3 wheel for the BMW M4 GT3 and putting it on the sim rig as well. It was 1399 Euros, it was sold out in less than 3 hours. And it is now sold out for nearly a year. So you got the real race car wheel on your simrig. Pretty mindblowing...

[@danielfowler899]

AC is good, but you should also check out ACC, rF2, iRacing or AMS2. Only problem with racing sims is that most of them need a lot of configuring to get them to feel right.

[@Pennycilin3]

Funny that their thumbnail is from ACC, but they only played AC in this video.
