[@brianchristine9301]

[@billywashere6965]

@@brianchristine9301 Yep. I saw a couple of opportunities where he could have hit the brakes late to take the inside lead when he got into top 3, but I'm guessing he wanted to eke out the intensity a bit leading into the final lap, because the two guys in first and second were making a ton of early-braking and wide apex mistakes that he could have (and later did) capitalize on. But then the race wouldn't have been as intense.

[@PhoenixRaces]

agreed, that was sick as hell. and tbh i just realized that was a sim. that looked so real!

[@madangel71]

I loved the camera view, but it seemed that view angle comes from driver helmet and if so, usually there are not so much tremors, as our body and/or neck can soften the vibrations a bit. all the tremors make it look like the cam is taking the tremors directly from car chassis. But graphics and overall video quality looks amazing. Really awsome and intense video :)

I admire the skills, no doubt, but I think in the last 3 minutes the gloves came off a bit. Muscled out the GT3 twice and definitely bumped the McLaren into the inside corner. But a W is a W, congrats.

[@abeecee]

@@ryanpauloneeyed9669 exactly like real life

[@Hardcaslte]

@@ryanpauloneeyed9669 I agree with you. Don't get me wrong, Will is a far better driver than I am by a long shot, but he does tend to push situations that shouldn't be pushed. For instance, it seems like he has a tendency to push the front corner of his car into the inside of the corners, where he's in the rear bumper space of the car in front (his front bumper is on the inside of the back bumper of the front car), and then stay there. This causes crashes. You're not close enough for the car in front to realize your car is there, so naturally they're going to turn into the apex which would end up spinning their car. You should either be half a car length into the car in front so they see you in the mirrors and/or their window, or you back off and wait. This is an AI race which helps him because AI knows he's there, if this was a live race I guarantee cars would have been spinning on a few occasions simply because they wouldn't have known his bumper is next to their car. Also, bump drafting is when you hit the back of the car square on, when he did a 'bump draft' tapping the corner of the car in front, it was more of a pit maneuver that you would do to spin the other car. I'm being 'judgy' right now, and again I'm not saying Will sucks at racing, etc., but there are things here and his other AI races that would definitely cause a crash in corners.

[@ultrainstinct1181]

I cannot even remotely understand how unbelievably amazing the immersion must look and feel in that rig. My brain just cannot compute.

[@youtubecomments5951]

Actually it looks realistic but in vr you get real immersion but graphics ain’t as hot probably and you can’t stream or upload as nice as this in vr

[@OniiHvH]

@@youtubecomments5951 Screen door effect, aliasing, low FOV. Having tried both, I can easily say triple monitor is way more immersive than VR if done correctly. VR is the cheaper way to do it (3 monitors and a GPU that can power all of them costs way more than just a mid-range GPU and a VR headset).

[@James_Austin]

The pros disagree@@OniiHvH

[@OniiHvH]

@@James_Austin I’m a heavy VR consumer, as I’ve been messing with lots of different VR headsets for over 3 years. I play VR everyday and I’m jealous of my friend with a triple monitor setup. I’ve tried the Quest 2, Quest 3, Index, Samsung Odyssey HMD, and the Pimax 5K. None of them come even close to the visibility, quality, and beauty of triple monitor setups. The only advantage is being able to turn your head freely.

[@James_Austin]

@@OniiHvH if you're such a consumer of VR then why'd you mention the screen door effect. It's non existent in most newer headsets. Field of view also much improved. You're not going to get correct depth perception either with a monitor. I don't see any advantage to triple monitors over a d cent, modern VR headset.

[@MrKloetenklaus]

great graphics do not mean everything in terms of realism. The physics of the game is anything but not realistic;). Do this Video with F1 2021 and you have the same results. What i want to say is ,why buy such a simulator and play crap games with it ...

[@boostedmedia]

Because I enjoy it. We do plenty of other sims too, but this one works particularly well for content creation despite its pitfalls.

[@nierka99]

Realism its not about what u see its about what u feel

[@Gonueve]

@@nierka99 to feel something you need to have all your senses there, eyes ( graphics ) are just one, the smell on the air, the sounds... even you can feel something what doesn´t exist, for example waking up at night with the feeling of a hand on your shoulder. Realism depends of the subject

[@effinjamieTT]

this randomly started to play. when I glanced up I initially thought this was real.

[@oez4880]

Your immersion level is just crazy at this point! At 10:00 you notice the rear getting sketchy. This could be multiple things: 1. You have lost the freshness of those (I assume) soft tires. They are super sticky initially. AMS2 setup guy Steelcast27 said that it's about 3 to 4 laps of hard driving and you start seeing the effects of a used tire. People spinning out etc. Setups can mitigate the effects. 2. Bathurst by nature seems to punish the rear tires quite a bit once you start driving as fast as yourself here. So you might have an inherent front/rear tire temperature imbalance which could degrade the rear tires faster (it's not only about overall wear with Madness) and they could also overheat easier leading to fishy behaviour. 3. Maybe you've slowly built up excess rear tire temperature from brakes bleeding heat into the tires along multiple laps. And they just have a worse contact patch from over inflation. 4. Track conditions changing like you said. 5. Many or all of the above at the same time. Changing brake bias seems like a good idea to cope with it. Another is to up TC level via the ICM (9 or 10) to let the rears cool down without punishing them too much during exits. Maybe something you could incorporate into your videos in the future? Keeping an eye on the tire temperatures in cars where that information is available through the virtual LCD. Or overall tire management.
