I Bought the Ultimate Racing SIM! - Triple 55" Monitors

Love my Sim from Podium 1, close friends of mine and super excited you got a LEGIT rig!

[@RonnieWilliams_]

wait you do sim racing???

[@craigschrickker2312]

This is an EPIC sim setup. Stuff of dreams right here. NICE!

i just love the look on the big guy with the hat when the pc booted and the sound coming out. every guy is a child inside.

[@nickwasserman518]

I am so glad you're getting a round wheel. Having both wheels is crucial for the full experience. This thing is awesome

[@AdamsOlympia]

I’m just getting into sim racing, and picked a (mostly round) Tahko wheel with my simucube 2 pro. Is an F1 style wheel really crucial to the experience ? My wheel has side grips and square bottom like an F1, but with a rounded top for versatility. But I’m not yet sold on the pure F1 wheels… the only benefit I can think of other than aesthetics/immersion would be higher torque forces from smaller/more rigid wheels? Downside = slightly higher risk of injury.

[@nickwasserman518]

@@AdamsOlympia I think it depends on what you do. I drive mostly F1 cars and that was my first wheel choice. I got a round wheel later when I realized I like driving non race cars as well and they felt ridiculous using a formula style wheel. Hence my comment made here. I guess I was answering from the same perspective of this video of starting with the formula wheel and then getting a round wheel later. Where you are starting with round. So maybe not crucial for the full experience in that order. I use F1 wheel for formula cars, prototype, and gt3 cars. Then use my round wheel for everything else.

[@JColip1776]

it’s crazy how good the room sounds. the whole house is coming together very nicely. It was awesome to see it in person. Wish the SIM was there when I stopped by I probably would still be there playing!

[@jaynumber4444]

One idea would be to install some sort of remote software like Team Viewer. That way someone from OG HQ can remote in to the sim computer to install updates or troubleshoot if needed.

[@zacharystokes]

One could use Remote Desktop Connection which is built in, so long as the system is accessible

Already done ✅!

nice gear bro and I appreciate that you let the tech guys try out your setup even though they are sweating a lot after the installation process

[@g.dubyou6263]

I have 2 Fanimation Odyn fans they’re 84”. I’ve had them for 6 years, now, and I know they’ve been updated, and now offer more fam speeds, but, they are completely balanced, even on setting 6 the only noise you hear out of them, is the air across the blades and only after setting 3 can you hear the air. I have one in my bedroom and one in my living room. 6 years now, they’ve been flawless. I run them both; daily, from about May until October.

[@LuckyOctober]

I went on the website this costs: $79,934.00 USD.

[@sv2697]

Still cheaper than real racing long term!

[@Michael-pi8ps]

Yeah but the company charges a massive premium. Around 2x the material cost. This is still an expensive rig but if you did it yourself(which you can it’s all off the shelf parts) it’d be around $40k

[@_Suzuka_Joe]

I have a much more basic sim rig, no motion, trakracer cockpit and it's complicated for someone to use without me being there to walk them through it. I would think that if you're renting the house with this as a value add they're going to be quicker to jump into Assetto Corsa than iRacing.

[@_Suzuka_Joe]

also with Assetto corsa you can add mods from SOL and basically any track/car you can think of and its awesome, essentially any track for free or super cheap ($20) vs iRacing where everything is pay to play

[@ChandlerWelling]

We’ve got ACC and Forza 5 downloaded and ready as well.

[@PLr1c3r]

I like the triple display but a VR headset is a much more immersive experience IMHO. For a rental this does make sense though.

[@mainsource8030]

no, just...no. i have a full steering wheel, seat and a quest pro air linked to my 4090 powered pc and its great, but not that much better than my 49 inch neo g9, this setup is much better and more immersive. reason is the fov on vr headsets is to limiting and its a bulky thing on your head

[@turbohenk702]

[@David-nb2bc]

@@mainsource8030 You need to check out the new Big Screen Beyond VR headset. Smallest headset in the world with micro OLED panels. FOV is not bad too.

[@David-nb2bc]

@@turbohenk702 Crystal is the best visual headset right now. However, it is still a big brick on your face. I was going to get the Pimax Crystal but I went with Big Screen Beyond due to its form factor. The FOV and resolution is not up to Crystal standards yet but way way more comfortable for endurance sim racing.

[@peterwhitford1877]

@@mainsource8030 So you are saying triple screens is like racing...without a helmet on haha racing is one of the few things having limited fov and a bulky thing on your head is more realistic. Depth of field is really the biggest game changer you get with VR.

[@Doing_The_Thing]

Matt, if you want the final touch for your rig, look into the high end tactile feedback over on Race Department. Involves installing Tactile Transducers and Exciters to the seat and pedal tray. Dbox does have tactile, but falls short for certain effects. Finally a harness with gbelt tensioner and you are at Ultimate Plus 😅. None of this is necessary, but if you’d like the best of the best out of your sim racing setup. Cheers

I don't think you understand how windows account management works by the sound of your comment. This is why administrator accounts exist and the whole account architecture. Also malware on windows 11 is more difficult to come by than you think with a valid license key.

@@PLr1c3r I don't think you understand how easy it is to bypass windows account controls/management when physically sitting at a PC.

I'm only saying that PC needs locked down further than a normal Windows 11 install. The upvotes to my comment agree. Have a good day!

I have been in IT for over 20+ years and I have NEVER own any AV software and never got any issues with malware or spyware on my PC. You just need to learn where to go and what to look out for. The latest Window Defender actually does a pretty good job and it comes with Windows.
