The Ultimate Bang-for-Buck Racing Sim! My Gran Turismo 7 Setup

[@JorgePowell]

Hey pals! I've had a lot of fun using this setup for the last year or so, but the time has finally come to say goodbye to the G29. I just posted a follow up video comparing the Logitech G Pro Wheel and the brand new Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Extreme - check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zOkGRqet6Cn6ssi=bGUFPbF0_4gNxU40

I'm glad I came across your video. I'm a retired Army veteran who lost my left leg in a training accident right after Desert Storm and my right leg is paralyzed. I love racing but doing it with a joystick sucks. I need something cheap that I can hook up my hand controls from my car (Gas & brake with left hand, steer with my right) and this setup looks perfect. Cheers!

[@Salustmaio]

Thanks for you service!!!! Use a fanatec with a mclaren gt3 wheel v2 you can brake and acelarate with your hands sometimes i get tired to acelaration with my legs and use it... you need to try it i use it with a playseat challenger a gt dd pro 8nm and the pedals v3 you can either brake with one leg or acelarate... good change for you and hope see you in gt7 ps5 or acc competizione

You are an amazing individual I wish nothing but many blessings for you and your family I hope you’ve found the right set up for yourself definitely give us an update ! 😁

[@himoot]

You can adjust the amount of force from the wheel in controller settings in Gran turismo. It is only set at 50% by default so the g29 can give a surprising amount more force than before. I was considering changing my wheel too before I found my wheel was delivering half the force it could.

[@shiniquajones2812]

So are you talking about more feedback support from the road and car or the car will respond to you turning the wheel?

[@chappy0690]

There is a reason it's set at 50% if you set ffb to over 4 out of 10 you loose all road feeling on the g29 as it can't handle the harsh vibrations and washes all feeling out. Try setting it to 3 or 4 and turn sensitivity up to 8 or 9.

Suffer from VR motion sickness too, and recently got a tip that helped massively. Once you start feeling sick, it's too late, the key is to stop before you start feeling sick. Do 5, 10, 15 minute stints, whatever it is you can manage without feeling sick, and then stop. This supposedly allows your brain to experience VR without becoming sick, and allows you to adapt. Seems to be working for me, starting to be able to go a lot longer in VR without feeling sick.

[@bakerfx4968]

Absolutely this. If you try and push through your brain will associate it all as a bad experience and make you want to avoid it in the future. I struggled my first week on the Quest 2 when we got it but after that it was fine. Starting with static games (beat saber etc) will help too, don’t jump right into a racing sim to get use to VR lol

[@MrBeeeJay]

The trick is not stopping. You have to get used to it. Once you are used to it you can drive for hours. 4 hours in VR racing are not uncommon for me. Racing in VR is also less hard then a shooter because less is moving. And yes once you drive in VR you don't go back. The elevation differences you can see in VR you don't get on screens. My first time on the Redbull Ring ... A totally different experience.

[@bakerfx4968]

@@MrBeeeJay that may have worked for you but I think you’re in a very small minority of people. You clearly didn’t get to a bad enough point where you just couldn’t play anymore. Usually due to having to actually throw up. The majority of people absolutely should take it off for at least a few minutes whenever they start feeling uneasy

[@mr.chilll5179]

In the beginning the breaking made me sick cause my brain expected some g-force... But if you keep in mind you wont experience g-force that definitely helped a lot, now i race for hours without any sickness

[@illumineddiie]

For PSVR2, I got bad motion sickness the first time I used it. So the next time that I tried it out I made sure to take my time during the setup process and also ensure that I had it properly on my head. There’s a sweet spot where everything is in focus, finding this spot resolved my issue. The blurred vision was causing my motion sickness. Now I use it daily with no issues and how immersive it is is truly insane.

[@JorgePowell]

I’ll keep this in mind, thanks pal 🙌🏼

[@albmaglinao]

I also had issues with motion sickness. Getting the perfect fit is worth the effort. Every time I put on the VR, I hit the PS button twice to go into the quick menu and adjust my pupil distance setting. This helped a bit, but the only thing that really helps is practice. I used to only be able to tolerate 5 minutes, but after playing daily, I'm able to handle hours at a time. It's worth the patience to experience to immersion. Thanks for the great video. I'll be purchasing this in the future.

[@ThePerspectionist]

1. I appreciate your minimalist taste for your interior decorating. 2. I have an Meta Quest 2 and I overcame my motion sickness by playing Rec Room. I took it slow with the movements and positioned my body to maintain balance and anticipate “movement” without my actual body moving. Sort of like a forward lunge position. It worked like a charm. No VR motion sickness at all anymore.

[@shawndixon4536]

I borrowed an Oculus Rift and it actually improved my driving in Dirt 2.0. But it was a borrowed unit, which means I had to eventually give it back. After spending $10,000 CND on my triple screen PC Sim setup, I didn't want to go over board on a VR I would probably seldom use. So I got a used Acer Windows mixed reality for $50 CND. In all the use I have had between the Rift and the Acer, I have only had one dizzy experience in each. The Rift was probably due to lack of sleep, the Acer was spinning out and rolling backwards in a go-kart in Kart Kraft. Other than that, even though neither were very heavy units, just having them on your head for a long enough stretch does start making you feel pressure on your head. I normally can't race any longer than 2-3 hours max.

[@T22DUNN]

I like how clean you setup looks. As far as VR motion sickness goes I used to get bad motion sickness after a half hour with older VR systems I went to my friends house to try his PSVR2 out and I felt perfectly fine for the twoish hours I played didn't feel queezy once

[@kuhndj67]

I bought an Audi leather seat at the junkyard and built up a base for it, the wheel and pedals. As an added bonus the seat was fully adjustable so was completely powered for multiple drivers. I think the seat cost a hundred bucks and the base another 50. Some other miscellaneous costs (like a 12v supply for the seat and casters for the chair) and I might have been in for $225 (plus the wheel which was more than that). Was a pretty awesome setup though compared to commercial chairs.

[@Learn270]

[@Nibelhein]

Great video, for the motion sickness try this out, place a fan in front of you in a way that your face receives a good amount of "wind" makes a world of difference. I guess it kinds of bridge a little of the gap of visual movement and body perception of movement.

Have you tried travel sickness pills? I had the PSVR1 and most games made me instantly want to throw up. Others like beat saber were fine. I used the pills for the first VR and it made things better. Psvr2 is better due to being in higher def, but I still can’t manage more than 5 - 10 mins without starting to feel it again in racing games. Thats a huge improvement on 10 seconds the first time round. Haven’t yet tried the travel sickness pills with PSVR2, but I’m going to give them another go!

VR Tips. The only real way to get over VR sickness it to use it enough to get "VR legs." I used to get VR motion sickness, but not anymore. I suggest easing into it over the course of 2 weeks or so. Start with a short, 5-10 min session and up the time each day as you get more comfortable. After a few weeks of use, assuming you stick with it, the motion sickness should be completely gone. I also suggest starting with games and experiences that are less intense at first. An example of this would be beat saber. Eventually you can move up to fast motion games with no problems.

[@NeonNapper]

I had MAJOR motion sickness when I first started VR. You just have to keep at it and build your tolerance, now it doesn't matter what I play. No sickness at all.

[@JustWhyFFS]

Motion sickness from VR can come from lag. If you experience even the slightest stutter when moving your head, or have a couple of frames drop while moving around, it can throw your equilibrium off. Most start to experience discomfort when below 120 frames per second. The lower you dip, the worse. I had a game freeze once while I was running around and it took all my willpower to get the Index off without throwing up.

[@lukefisher8417]

Use a fan when rocking VR pointed at you. Will help with any bad feelings

[@JorgePowell]

Will def try this next time!

[@vgaportauthority9932]

@@JorgePowell Remember to never do VR on an empty stomach as well. You get used to VR over time. Here's also a weird tip: turn down the brightness of your VR headset to the lowest. This makes the motion-blur when turning your head fast disappear, and that can help greatly with motion sickness. The HDR introduces quite a bit of ghosting on this headset due to how HDR is implemented. Lowering the brightness lessens that in a huge way.

VR Legs! PSVR2 was also my first experience with VR and the first few times I couldn't last more than 20 mins. Now I can keep it on longer sessions. Also the great thing about GT7, I got the usage/sweet spot right so I actually take it off between races which helps eyes take a break too.

[@supercededman]

One other site recommended using the Sony Pulse headphones to provide a better fit - finding the sweetspot more quickly. I was HIGHLY sceptical, but it actually works. Almost instantly I find the sweetspot now.

[@paulsmith8289]

PSVR2 with GT7 makes a massive difference when compared to a TV. GT7 will have the least motion sickness effect, especially when compared to games where you are walking around. That is my experience. Basically you have got to try it with GT7, you won't want to go back to flat!

[@jazjac17]

Great stuff👍🏼 I recommend Fanatec DD pro 8nm with your wheel of choice. Honestly, who the hell needs 20nm when this will hurt you when you get hit by another car with in game settings at 4 and wheel settings at only 45-55 dependant on the car. Pick the right wheel and your sorted for PC, Xbox and PS4/5. Too many others are geared to PC with add on options to make it viable with PS. May not of heard of them but I have a Simhound rig and love it. Half the size aluminium frame as lots of others but more sturdy than you would imagine.

VR motion sickness is something everyone has to deal with, some have it worse than others. But it is not persistent, you get over it. They key is to take your time, because it does get better. Best advise I had and used, was take it slow, play until you feel sick, take a break and continue later. Do this consistently for a week or two, and you're over it. It took me around a week to get used to it myself. Now after a year I can literally play for 4 hours straight, do the most gut wrenching stuff and not feel a thing.

[@stephenlogsdon8266]

Ps5 controllers are 6-axis motion sensing steering wheels, compatible with GT7. While not as good as the wheel, it’s good enough, and with the haptic feedback, it’s not bad. Not bad at all.

Hey - Nice vid! I always felt sick playing VR in 30FPS - The VR2 is 60FPS and I have not felt sick a single time! I was bummed for a long time because I thought it was me and not the FPS - Now I use it weekly! Im guessing you have upgraded both wheel and to VR2! If you haven’t, go buy right now

[@AmericasAlgebraTeacher]

For VR I get motion sickness in “regular” VR games and can only play in short bursts. However GT7 VR is different - after a short initial break-in, I don’t feel any motion effect and can literally play for hours. I think it’s due to the more natural brain-eye-motion we get used to when driving a car in real life. PSVR2 is transformative for GT7

If you're serious about racing and have the money: You need DOF H3 or P3 (this motion rig will remove motion sickness in VR) You need dd1 or dd2 to simulate real racing wheel w/ great force feedback You need a better headset than PS5 (get Pimax Crystal or 12K) You need motion compensation software when you're in VR (easy done) You need a powerful PC to run games to get at least 90fps to remove motion sickness You need to play Automobilista 2 (BEST VR racing game in the market) Total cost: Maybe around $10,000

Here's a few tips getting used to vr motion sickness. Look at the accessibility options to really find out. Play vr shooters with teleporting. This can make you get used to the movement. Or just keep watching roller-coaster vr videos. Getting used to how it feels with constant exposure is probably the only but sickening way to get used to moving vr. The inner ear is facinating isnt it?

[@justinsymonds8470]

I had vr sickness very badly when I first started. The trick is not to give up. Do short sessions at VERY SLOW speeds. You want your brain to get used to the fact that it’s being tricked, which it will do eventually. It took me about a week of 5-10 min sessions at slow speeds to get rid of my vr sickness. Once you do you won’t go back to a single screen I promise! also try other vr games with motion in short sessions. if you have a meta vr headset play a game called elixir. It childish but it’s has slight motion that helped me get used to it. I also played pavlovs shack it’s a shooter, those two games were a big help in helping me get over vr sickness.

[@rashman9579]

Decent video and decent setup. But the Playseat Evolution is better in my opinion. Evolution also has the optional seat slider which is super handy if you have friends over who might want to play. Word of caution about your cabinet that you have your PS5 in.. Monitor the temperature of your console with that setup. The fan you have installed is not substantial enough in my opinion. As well as exhausting hot air out of the cabinet, you equally need to ensure the console is breathing in new, cooler air, which yours doesn’t appear to be. It’s just breathing its own warm exhaust. My advice is to unclip the cabinet door completely - most modern hinges have quick-releases. Remove door while playing. Reinstall then you’ve finished.

[@pixmation-h3t]

First with PSV2, I cannot even drive more than 1 minutes. Later I drove a convertible in an oval track slowly. After a week or so, now I can racing in PSVR2 for hours. Sometimes still have trouble with road cars with soft suspensions. No issue with Gr.3 Gr.4 or cars that doesn't float.

[@b44rt]

For VR sickness you should try playing VR games where you only move when you move in real life, for example SuperHot VR. This will let you get used to VR, then you can jump into racing games. If you are not used to VR and you jump into games where you move in-game but are still in real-life you it will be overwhelming and you will get sick. Get used to VR first and then race.

[@proskills991]

[@fernfernacelli]

Say, Jorge! Great video. For VR, might I recommend adding haptics to your setup? There are different ways to do so, but basically anything that can give you vibration can help you feel less disoriented. I have an old school vibration pack (seriously.... from the 1990s!) placed at the small of my back. Additionally, what'd helped me the most was having 2 small USB fans mounted on the rig on either side of the steering wheel. Even one might suffice, but I preferred one on each side so that there's a breeze going evenly. This may sound curious, but the light breeze on my face (coupled with the reactive vibration) really helped with my motion sickness. Hope this all helps... cheers!

I have a psvr2 and the first I used it. I got motion sickness after some time but when I kept using it I got use to it but if I stop using it for some time I get motion sickness again and also you need breaks in between if using more than an hour or so. It’s important to ad that I get motion sickness when I play 1st person shooters for some time. Everyone is different and react differently to any kind of gaming so I suggest if you want a psvr2 to buy it through Amazon or some place where you can tested out and be able to return it if you want before 30 days good luck and God bless

[@alextron1970]

You're missing a lot not having PSVR2 for GT7.I was very sensitive to motion sickness too but somehow PSVR2 have done something (which I don't know) that reduce motion sickness in GT7.Over time, you can eliminate motion sickness by getting use to VR. After my third session of GT7, I was immune to motion sickness. Now, I can play GT7 for 3h without any issue.

[@AJ56]

Good stuff, get some racing shoes and sparco gloves to further enhance the racing experience.

[@AKCobra1120]

If your first VR experience is a driving sim you're practically garanteeing motion sickness. VR motionsickness occurs when there is a disconnect between how the world around you is moving vs. how your body is moving, and your brain gets confused (I'm sure there's a much more technical explanation but that will do). In a nutshell you need to train your brain and body to be able to handle VR without motion sickness. The best way to do that is to 1) start slow, and 2) whenever you start to feel sick, get out immediately and take a break. This is what a lot of people do wrong, they try to push through it and just get sicker and sicker. When you do that you are actually doing the exact opposite of what you want, you're training your body to get sick in VR. Now by starting slow I don't mean driving slow. I mean starting with something that has more of a 1-1 corolation between how your body is moving vs. how the world is moving. Something like Beat Saber is an excellent choice. Golf+ or Eleven Table Tennis are also great choices. Anything where your body is moving naturally in the VR world. If you can do that you can then move up to something where you're moving around more in the world, like a military sim such as Pavlov or Zero Caliber. Start off with teleporting and snap turns, and progress toward smooth motion and turning. Once you can walk around in VR without feeling sick you're ready to try some driving. THEN start off driving slow lol. Almost everyone can develop VR legs and kick the motion sickness problem, but it does take some patience. Oh yeah, some additional feedback from the outside world might help too, like a fan blowing on you or something. That's only an additional possibly helpful measure though, you still need to start small and work your way up to driving in VR. Good luck!

[@jackrabbit317]

The key to overcoming motion sickness is starting off small and PLAYING REGULARLY. When i first started vr it took a month before i could play anything serious, now after playing vr for over 3 years i can play anything with no sickness

[@cats4hir3]

It might be weird, try put a standing fan in front of you while using VR headset. The wind that blows to your face (or body) will somehow help your brain to adapt with the motion sickness. I'm not sure if this will help other games else than racing sim.

Turn down the brightness as far as possible and take the glasses of after every race, than select a new race without looking 'through the glasses' You are really missing something without the psvr2 👍

Motion sickness is a phase I had to overcome, in order to enjoy gran turismo in VR. Your mind “adjusts” to it, in time.

[@christopherkossman2498]

I have the same cockpit but the Fanatec CSL DD GT Pro with the Mclaren GT3 wheel and Fanatec V3 pedals. Definitely the best setup ive ever had!

[@maplegui]

Great content, valid considerations. Really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work

[@FujiboHeavy]

Such a clean setup! I hope to get this setup one day to use in the off season and save abuse on my car😅

[@MK-oe8lu]

Den einfachen Ständer ohne Sitz hatte i auch 2 Jahre lang mit dem g920. Jetzt habe i auch den playseat trophy, aber mit der fanatec dd pro ! Der Sitz ist zwar teuer aber wenn man ihn dann endlich mal auf sich eingestellt hat , auch sehr bequem und man kann ihn von einen ins andere Zimmer „tragen“ was i z.bsp mache weil i im Wohnzimmer einfach meine riesen Glotze habe, meiner Frau der Anblick aber nach ein paar Tagen absolut stinkt 😅

[@tofu86oc55]

sound, I don't know if your particular setup can do 5.1 surround sound, but just basic surround speakers behind you would be great. you can hear cars coming up behind you. and place the subwoofer next to you.

[@katieblackmore2004]

I just clicked your link for the rig! You are nuts or have more money than sense! Over £600! When you can get the playseat Evo, with folding racing seat, fully adjustable, compatible with all wheels and pedals and all but assembled on delivery, for around £250!

[@JorgePowell]

Hey Katie, I did look into the Evo during my initial research, but many of the reviews expressed that the design of the centre column is problematic as it compromises the ergonomics and lacks the stability required for DD systems. The Trophy ultimately provides a better solution for my wheel mounting needs now & in future, and is obviously much more portable than a 80/20 setup. RRP is typically £529 - not sure why there’s a price jump this week but I’m sure this will come back down again soon!

[@woodssylvain1629]

pretty cool setup mate!! i just got my g920!

[@baskroeze7217]

I have the same seat with the logitech pro wheel and pedals, GT7 in Vr on a DD wheel is another world, i would realy advise the Logitech Pro

[@JorgePowell]

That’s a wicked setup, if I didn’t have such a hard time with VR then I would love to try it properly

[@ImBradFPV]

Start flying FPV, will cure all motion sickness 😂😂 class vid my dude

[@frederickwatts1399]

Adding prices would help with your recommendations to give a realistic cost of the total package 👍

[@JorgePowell]

Links with up to date prices are in the description 👍🏼

[@gumbilicious1]

i am a bigger buy too and I have been wanting a better chair, i'll look into this. i also had motion sickness issues, i started real slow. picked a car that was convertible (i think i used a BAC?) and went to a track that was pretty flat (le mans?) and would spend about 5 minutes just driving fairly slow to get a feel for things until i felt the very beginnings of being disoriented and then i took it off. within a week i was able to complete a lap, within two weeks i was doing short races. within a month i was racing anything 15 minutes at a time. eventually i got into over 30 minute sessions. just have to find your body's pace and extend it at a rate that works for you

[@Chris-de4km]

Also gt7 in the psvr2 is a game changer and you won’t want to go back to regular gt7 👊

[@CatanPlayerr]

quality video - i add some things that would help other buyers - you mentioned your a big guy how tall are you and you should really list all the prices in the video

[@giftmukupe1]

Such an engaging review. Subscribed.

[@wrfj945]

The PlaySeat Trophy is an awesome rig.

[@seancovell4124]

Lasik completely fixed my motion sickness in general. I wanted to play Destiny when it originally released and so I had read that Lasik can help. It more than helped, it's 100% gone. I can play ANY FPS now and I am assuming it'll be great for VR too. Hope this helps. Alternatively you could always just take motion sickness medicines.

[@JorgePowell]

Wow really?? I’ll have to look into this, I’ve wanted to get lasik done for years 😅

[@seancovell4124]

@@JorgePowell yes it took care of the entire issue for me. I don't get sick from not paying attention in car rides either anymore. I to had already been looking to have it done, and Destiny was the push for me.

[@CSTBFO_jad]

If you haven't tried VR with this new setup then it might actually help you with your nausea. Most symptoms like this in VR are due to the brain not being convinced that the visuals match what the rest of the body is doing. Kinda like car sickness irl. The seating position, wheel & pedals of your new setup can help convince the mind and body that everything seems legit. The haptic feedback in the PSVR2 headset also helps. Like car sickness, for some it takes practice for the mind and body to understand what's going on. How long that takes is different for everyone. I pushed through the nausea on the previous PSVR1 so when I got the PSVR2 i didn't feel anything in GT7 other than fun and immersion.

[@JorgePowell]

Thanks for sharing pal, I definitely need to give it another go - the experience looks so good!

[@michaelkenny4124]

Damn that racing seat is beautiful! Great vid man, you have a beautiful home too! p.s regarding motion sickness I used to get it in VR and I can honestly say practice makes it better. The more you use VR, the more you get your 'sea legs'.

[@MrKrampyHands]

I have almost the same sim setup it's pretty cool and I enjoy it allot I might upgrade to a moza or cammus setup in the future but live my Logitech wheel and shifter setup

[@The1AndOnlySB]

This is a phenomenal video

[@GamersHavenNX]

I got Playseat activefit, thrustmaster 300 gt and Psvr2, I can play on this 2-3hrs in one session, no sickness, head and neck gets tired
