Lap around Nordschleife Porsche 917 K in Assetto Corsa

[@M.R.A.11811]

The best visual simulation that I have seen. And with the best car! Great man!

I know this wasn't intended to fool people but it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize this was a game, but glad I'm not the only one hahah

[@4udio_Vortex]

That looks like NVIDIA's surround projection allowing for that realistic viewing angle. Looks awesome.

[@dozer1642]

This is a perfect example of "don't ignore your gut instinct." Like many here, I was fooled into thinking this was real for a while. But, there were numerous things that tugged at my subconscious and told me something was not right. The lack of gloves The front floorboard being spacious The front window having posts The top of the screen showing bookshelf and blinds The sound. The sound inside this car would be deafening. Many other things just made me think something was fishy. All of this aside, I was completely fooled for half of the lap. Completely. Amazing job, I'm jealous of your gaming setup. Nice video.

[@Rufusdos]

Me too, half the lap. Actually until I scrolled down to the comments!

[@michael2305]

if you ignore the fact that there is a keyboard on the side, some books on the shelf and that the monitors and cables are visible yeah you kinda get fooled for a while.

I'm so buying everything needed to have this in my house. I just bought a 2017 M3 comp with Dinan S1 upgrade but I still can't get enough. Having this to play at night would give me all day driving fun.

I watched this for a full minute before realising. Doh!

what finally tipped me off was (at approx 2:50) when he was coming around a bend and the spectators had a grainy look to them, sort like it was a game...

[@guitariste47]

I noticed the sounds is also not realistic, but i was fooled once

[@Pulsonar]

The only thing missing from this virtual masterpiece is the simulated trackside daylight and tree shadows that flash by on the bonnet and car fenders inside the car too.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Very nice homebuilt cockpit, very immersive. Clever, as was said very few clues, see the room above the cockpit, notes inside the car never moved, No raring gloves, Paddles shifters available, but not use. All in all a AAA+++ for effort and effect.

Lol, At first I was really impressed with how awesome the hand animations looked in Assetto Corsa.

I wondered what sort of gear box it had. You cant change gear on a real one like that. And the cab looked a bit strange. Didnt realise it wasnt for real.

would love to try a simulator like this one day! The naked hands on the steering wheel was a give away, though: - )

Trouble with this stuff, is that while it's cool technology, people are fooled by it. If you'd never seen the real deal you wouldn't be any the wiser...the implications are ominous

I agree with patmowag, I don't think the porsches had plywood dashes, and 3 video moniters,. and the sound is a bit electronic, OHhhhhhhhh.............lol

[@raymondboots6089]

Awesome! Great video!

[@antlee1579]

Windshield wipers don't , table legs , cpu on the left, blue light on right corners of all the screens, but really no gloves, the Gauge on top of the hood, no rattle, the track is brutal on the car. Are driving with all the assistance on, no tire warming. I don't get it, I'm probably just hating cause I never had that when I was young, and now to old to get gaming. Cool if you can compete. BTW. Thanks for sharing it was interesting to watch anyways🙃

[@marksavin5778]

Bitchin'! Only real downside was the sound track, hearing the flat 12 screaming would have been awesome! Excellent job though dude/dudette,the finish of the tubing and raw fiberglass is just like the real thing.

[@PropanePete]

Wow.. what an awesome set up

[@WoodenYouKnowIt]

Thank you very much for the ride. I LOVED IT! The graphics are incredible! Can you tell me just how accurate this version of the Nordschleife really is? By that, I mean, could a man learn the course in preparation for actually travellling to Germany to drive the real thing and expect to be fully prepared?

[@Arbac8]

+WoodenYouKnowIt hello man tks for watching. This and iracing version are laser scanned, so you could say they are very accurate. So yes these sims could help you learn the track. If you are going, practice until you memorize all curves, bumps and elevation changes and have fun at the ring!

[@WoodenYouKnowIt]

It will be a while before I can get set up for something like this as I have SO many other things on my plate right now. But I've already watched so many videos of the "ring that I've got many parts of it already memorized. And let me say that your approach to Adenauer Forst was spot on. Most people do not know the importance of diving deep into that corner at 1:46 in order to get set up for AF correctly. Way to go!

[@spikey2740]

To the right, atop the dash, is a postage-stamp-sized display that keeps changing colors as driving conditions change. What is it?

[@MH-on8ol]

Its a game screen. Look up at the room he's in. Well done, had me going for a few.

[@orion2250]

Looks great..are the physics good?

[@LThill-ks2uz]

duh, also three seperate monitors and table legs underneath, not to mention windshield doesnt have two posts coming down it.

[@johnmoylan7202]

....took me a second too: if you'd had gloves on you'd have fooled me longer, but very well. Ignore the negativity on here: I do have a 911, and I think your set up is great. Tell me how you got the 3-screens to work though: I already have a Fanatec Porsche GT3 wheel & pedal setup,but I'd love to make a proper cockpit.

[@Arbac8]

+John Moylan recent video cards let you connect your monitors via hdmi, display port and dvi ports. In my case I have each monitor connected to one of each. Leaving 2 display ports unused on a gtx 1070.

[@Bandit-Darville]

Where does the shaking of the headcam come from? Is it from the wheel or do you have some sort of vibration feedback in the seat? It creates great immersion this way, i like it!

[@Arbac8]

+Bandit Darville seat is fixed, vibration comes mainly from wheel and leg movement while braking, thanks for watching!

[@NYFL2156]

what is the purpose or reason for using the stick shift instead of the paddle shifters ?

[@Arbac8]

JcJohn Clarke no reason really, just that driving only with your left hand is fun sometimes as they did back in the day. Should have used H shifter, but I don't have a decent one.

[@rbpeirce]

How did you get picture-in-picture? I usually use driver's view because it tells me more but it would be nice to have the outside view as well.
