How to use iRacing Car Setups

[@getcrossaol]

I love your video! I am the 58 year old guy just starting iracing , no computer guy. Need iracing videos to start set up for the steering wheel buttons on a G29/920 , and what do you use the buttons for? Video for how to enter iracing start a ghost race, Video how enter/find a race, practice, qualified, then race. Iracing made videos do not tell how to race!!! Even the time on the iracing page don't match real time? I don't get the start time? That is sad Iracing can not do a better job helping new people step by step. FYI the only video gaming I owned was "Pong" from the 70's, Thank you David

[@Sampsoid]

Thanks mate, I have a list of How To videos in the works and I'll try my best to cover all the topics. Thanks for the support

[@lebojay]

You don’t have to use any of the buttons. You can set them up later if you feel like it. For your first couple seasons it wouldn’t be realistic to have buttons on your steering wheel anyway. The iRacing website isn’t the best, but you’ll get the hang of it. Keep watching KZbin videos.

[@MaxBenecke]

Just saw that now, thank you for the kind words about PDS :)

[@Sampsoid]

No worries Max. Actually been thinking about doing a full review of PDS as a few people in my discord either use the service or are interested in learning more. Had someone actually praising your name for the setups they just got recently.

[@MaxBenecke]

David Sampson Hit me up when you need something for it. Great to hear that! Happy we can help.

[@egathons7221]

Man, thanks alot for your videos! Everything in iRacing seems to cost something and it's difficult and overwhelming to start playing this game (I've just started a week ago), kinda discouraging even.... But you've really made it all easier with your FFB video and these setups. Please continue making videos and sharing because at least for me, you've made me stay with iRacing for now at least, I would've just left

[@Sampsoid]

Your welcome, thanks for the support and glad it all helped. I have more How-To's in the works. Thanks again!

[@cptmorgans]

Hi David. First off massive thank you for documenting your journey through iRacing :) I last raced in iRacing in 2014! I've been wanting to return for a long time but life/work has not permitted this. Now we are all in lockdown I jumped at the chance to get back in. I've spent the last week working my way through your Vids and seriously loving them, especially the tutorial vids. Lots of information presented very clearly so thanks. Keep up the good work and hopefully see you on the track soon :)

Tried to down load the I racing sync it downloaded ok then when you go to open it it tries to update and fails any suggestion

[@jruffner12]

I have downloaded racing setup sync and set uo acc, but can't find the app that does all the work for you that you pulled down from the top right of your tubeviedo thanks for your help Joe

[@rumrunner8260]

I went to that iRacing setup sync and seems to be a year or 2 out of date there is no supra in the database.

[@simonwadd4038]

excellent thanks. i'd also love to learn about making changes myself - all those options to change are baffling, I cant even work out which way the gear ratios go yet.

[@paulmcardle5563]

Hi Max, I can't got the quick app to work for all car's and track setup. Can you do a full video for that. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks

[@edgarsanchinelli7466]

Good job covering the different services David. Frito

[@Sampsoid]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@vvlado9945]

Hi, i can't find a setup for Audi RS3 LMS. Any ideas?

[@bigbaderek1978]

is setup sync gone now?

[@WiliTheDoctor]

That web site dosent work! Can i get it some where else?

[@Sampsoid]

Yeh seems to be down a lot, check out setups4i.racing/ for now.

[@Kas1122]

the link does not work for the iracingsetupsync web site

[@BWT1279]

Another great help video David! Quick question....would racing setup sync have any real value for someone running only fixed set up races? Thanks

[@Sampsoid]

Forgot to mention: setups4i.racing/ by Tanner McCullough - Another great free resource.

[@SWFlowseeker]

I can’t find a link that works anywhere for setup/sync?

[@Art-he2qk]

Hey David, almost as long as I play iRacing, I am struggling with loading my downloaded setups with Sync Setup to load these setups in iRacing. Every time I want to load a sto file, it fails to be used directly. Then I have to adjust lots of thing to pass the 'IRacing-setup-jury', but then my setup is as slow as a snail, if you know what I mean. Pffff. The baseline setup is always unbelievably much quicker.. I am looking everywhere for help but I can't find other I-racers with this problem. Getting a little desperate here in this cold little country, hope you or anyone else who is reading this and recognize and maybe understands my problem, can and wants to help me.. Great video's you make by the way, thanks a lot for especialy the tips and tricks video's, they rock.. Cheers and greetings from Holland, Art.

[@gijsnummerdor]

Wich app do i need to have to open a sto folder?

[@V0lCANIC]

im gonna watch this like 1000 times when I get iracing great vid!!!

[@Sampsoid]

Thanks a lot, looking forward to racing you on iRacing in the future

[@LukeMcKeown22]

hi mate hahah

[@V0lCANIC]

LMOO55 hi ha haaa do you watch David as well??

[@BenMyattt]

How did you paste the setup in the iRacing setup folder? I’m new to desktops and stuff trying to learn shortcuts. Thanks.

[@Sampsoid]

Once you download a setup, open explorer and navigate to your downloads folder. Cut the setup and now navigate explorer to 'My Documents' look for iRacing folder, inside that setups, then pick the car the setup is for and paste it in that folder

[@320fanA]

is the website of nick thissen not available anymore? I can not open the webpage

[@EHollon]

same issue here.

[@Sampsoid]

Yes seems to have down for a while. Try setups4i.racing/ for now.

[@222Racing]

@@Sampsoid when you download from the drive it says, Failed to find iRacingsync Executable, any ideas David?

[@haansworsie]

Is this software now dead? last tweet was 2017 and site is unavailable and software can't even install

[@michiel2722]

nope.. Still runs great. Sometimes the provider is down. It's a free app..

[@nenadvladisavljevic4256]

Do you have any setup for RaceRoom how to adjust steering wheel joystick and car

[@Sampsoid]

Sorry I don't. I should use RaceRoom a lot more than I do.

[@twanskys]

i just did this to a t, everything worked as it should except it says right height too high??

[@Sampsoid]

Glad it helped. What car? Probably an out of date setup. Things change every season.

[@twanskys]

@@Sampsoid thanks for the reply david, ill keep messing around with it :) its odd because i thought i had right season and year. it was for mx5 rookie, im new to all this

[@dylanshobbies8794]

just a heads-up setup sync no longer is supported by the developer and is down for the foreseeable future

[@Seik2000]

Thx for the hint. I wondered why I got a connection error for the app, that explains it.

[@swsephy]

Excellent info here. Great video.

[@Sampsoid]

Thanks a lot

[@mickhofman]

Iracing set up sync website down for me ?

[@arcshaw6396]

Thanks for all the useful info!

[@MrSpeedracer87]

This is great. Thought about trying vrs especially for the oval side of things. Can you do a review of VRS? I'd like to know what I buy before I try 🙂

[@rumrunner8260]

I bought one from VRS for the supra at Michigan and the qaul setup was a moon tone! lol

[@sagaloo72]

Hi David....I tried using the iRacing Setup Sync and it keeps saying the website is unavailable - do you know if they are still available?

[@Sampsoid]

As far as I can the service is down. I have the software installed and it is no longer working! Big shame.

[@MM-in1rv]

I can’t find the setup folder, it’s not there😅

[@Sampsoid]

Documents / iRacing / setups / then pick the car - Skip Barber is named rt2000 for example

[@colinbeunis3805]

@@Sampsoid no setup folder in my folders either

[@JustinWoodTV]

Well this app/program claims my iracing name does not exist.

[@summerfarmestates]

the set up sync is not working you need to update on this

[@Sampsoid]

It came back again for a while, I will look into this and update. Thanks
