Being a second off from, a pro driver, on a sim he tried for the first time, is god damn impressive.

[@devitomichael]

It’s not really that impressive when you consider that the real driver is driving well within his professionally honed comfort zone with no intention of actually crashing his vehicle real or simulated, whereas the fact that this is only a simulator with no real consequences if he should exceed his actual driving abilities, he could be pushing well past his skill level knowing there is nothing actually at risk. I don’t think the professional driver is making any distinction between his real vehicles and his simulations, whereas myself for example, would drive far more aggressively and carelessly way outside of my normal safety limits in reality, Many people in the safety of a simulator could pull off great times, but could they reliably and predictably pull off those same times 9 out of 10 times in reality when there is actually something to lose?

Imagine climbing into (yes, climbing because its so realistic) a racing sim that's worth probably more then your house and do it twice to beat your own record. so cool!

As an rFactor fanboy, imagine how chuffed I was to hear the words 'rFactor Pro.' Nice to hear my clapped-out and ancient home rig has a tiny bit of the same sim DNA. . .

[@billmcdonald4335]

@@drazenbudis7881 I run the original, and it still works for me. I really like how versatile it is. Everything from prototypes and F1, down to econoboxes and karts. Plus the fact that if I wanted to, I could drop a twin turbo F1 engine into an Austin-Healey Sprite and have a go. . .

Only the graphics engine is used, the physics are completely in house and not related to rFactor at all.

You could make something comparable for under 3000 I'd say, if you have a good pc to start with possibly less, Projector ~ 500, big ass projection screen ~ 1500, diy something that looks like a cockpit of a car ~ 500 , race car seat ~ 500 and those are pretty generous values so if that's your dream, if you need help planning the diy parts or doing stuff cheaper with some creative thinking hit me up.

@@XhizorBE you make it sound easy as grabbing some shit from the store they dont make a steering pedal and shifter setup with all the required facets for consumer market unless you know a guy or are willing to pay a absurd fee secondly good luck finding the equipment to run a projector at that high a frame rate three your basically gonna have to have a shelled out car just sitting around strip it down and put it back together 4 you will never be able to simulate the tactile feel of the road like these ones do unless your willing to drop at least 4 years on a physics degree and thats obly the problems of the top of my head even with a good pc hell no it will cost you way more then 3 grand and you will spend months of work only to cry yourself to sleep in frustration finding our how much of a bitch it would be to put together if it were that easy i would have already done so also not to point out the obvious but many of these assholes never make there simulator engines public for some unknown reason even though the software would sell like hotcakes and good luck programming your own as even something as simple as base assetto corsa would be a headache let alone on that scale of physics

I am surprised they don't have some kind of helmet with a wide-angle VR headset since that allows for depth perception. And on top of that it is sooooooooo immersive. Screwing around with it at home and I found myself leaning because I was subconsciously leaning because I expected the G-forces and movement that never happened.

I felt genuinely really pleased for you watching this video. You’re living your best life mate and whilst I am a bit envious it’s awesome to see the things you do and I don’t begrudge you any of it. You work hard, you’re funny as hell and it turns out you’re a reasonably handy wheelman too. Top work.

Technology "similar" to this is already available to consumers for around 6k (motorized multi-axis rigs). Of course it's a far cry from the precision of this monster, but at the pace sims seem to be evolving, with laser scans of tracks and more accurate tyre/car modeling, and also the advance VR which replaces that huge screen, I reckon rigs with similar levels of accuracy could become relatively accessible within the next 10 years. Exciting stuff.

That looked like a lot of fun & a great experience, something few people get the chance to do. As a young teenager back in the 80's a few classmates & I went on a trip to Heathrow Airport to go in their Tristar flight simulator where we each got to take the controls for a take off, landing, I also asked if I could crash into the Eiffel Tower which we could see in the distance after I took off which they were ok with *. Obviously the graphics were very basic **, but thanks to it being a flight deck pod on a massive set of hydraulics it felt like the real thing during take off & landing, It was a great experience even back then so if anyone gets the opportunity to do it today jump at the chance. *Nothing really happened visually but we did get the warning alarms & a bit of shaking as we approached the tower, the next thing we knew we were flying out the otherside, I'm not sure what I was hoping for but hey I was young & it was an amazing experience. ** From what I remember it was always night time when we were in it which could've been purposely due to the visual limitations of the day, I'm pretty sure we talked about it at the time but I don't remember the details
