My First Drive In The New Rig

[@samdajellybeenie14]

Five years on - new rigs, new house, new girlfriend, driving real race cars. You’re doing great Jimmer! So proud.

[@Simracingpaddock]

Who needs the gym when you have an OSW? ;)

[@bartonez123]

You can choose between a yearly gym membership or this wheel. I'd take the wheel.

[@edwardburek1717]

Four years on - new rig, new shed, same old Jimmer. Don't go changing.

[@samdajellybeenie14]

We love Jimmer

[@JohnFAlmqvist]

Great stuff! I'm really looking forward to all you top content with this new rig!

[@mikaeljackz]

Who needs a racecar when you have that setup? :D

[@RickDenman]

You should draw a smiley face on the good old stress ball and use it as a mascot... Could call him the 'Stress Free Ball' :-)

[@LukasD89]

Rick Denman it's gone already

[@FeltHat]

too soon

[@RickDenman]

NooOOoo!!! I haven't felt this sad since my very last sausage slipped through the grill on my BBQ into the glowing hot coals... I think we need a vicar to say a few words, RIP Stress Free Ball :-(

[@EnzoFazzi]

Dunno if you have already, but you would probably want to sit a bit closer so you can use your biceps more effectively on the wheel. You're putting a lot of strain on your shoulder now (like you mention in the video).

[@jesserowland7921]

Feel the burn, my friend.

[@RunningCommentaries]

Yes don't be surprised if you hurt yourself with this wheel, given how much you drive (and how often you collide with the ai! lol) Just last week I sprained my thumb with mine. Still hurts. The pain keeps me from forgetting how great the OSW is.

[@davidpetts1548]

Great to see you get this dialled in and run some races. Will be interested to see what it does to your lap times.

[@gixxerollie]

Right that's it Jimmy, I'm moving in!!!!

[@Dagger-Moose]

Wheel looks huge.

[@davidporeilly1]

Good stuff Jimmy. I have an OSW too but with a Formula wheel and the 20nm Mige. The smaller rim means I have less leverage so its stronger plus the rim is lighter so I run it at about 66% power and the in-game power at about the same (RF2). So the 20NM is MORE than enough for me. I will try the other posters comment about MMOS at 100% and dialling it down in game.

[@mckseal]

Race an old car Jimmy! Like the Ford Escort RS1600 at Sementin in Assetto Corsa. It would be amazing! And fairly true to life, some of those oldies didn't have power assist steering and took real strength.

[@mo-r-racing]

you just need one missing piece now....VR. keep up the good content tho. p.s. as a fellow OSW user, the wheel shouldn't be completely throwing you out the seat on counter steer forces..... fiddle with some of the settings in granity. You also want to be running Mmos at 100%, if you didn't know already - and any gain adjustment should be in the sim, not in Mmos. I didn't realise this myself until recently.

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

Thanks for the info! I literally know nothing about setting this stuff up, so any tips are much appreciated

[@Celciusify]

If you're getting a Vive, just follow the guide and the setup is done within like 15min. In Assetto corsa you tell the game to use the headset as a monitor, and then it's done. No idea how it works with other sims as I'm waiting for my rig to do a proper setup. Also a pair of heuskinkvelt pedals and an OSW :)

[@Kint0]

aliensimracer I would wait on VR. The next generation will be worth it. the resolution is too low imho. I get more enjoyment out of my triple screen setup.

[@Kint0]

Jimmy Broadbent Besides the low resolution of current VR, I'd also consider your current KZbin setup. We'd miss seeing your beautiful face. You'd have to record with a giant block on your head. I think a modest triple screen would suit you the most.

[@Case_]

VR is just horrible to watch in a KZbin video, though.

[@kubhak]

one word. JELOUS

[@KayoMichiels]

Damn!!! Pouhon would be absolutely BRUTAL with that wheel.. even with a GT car.

[@Case_]

Holy crap that wheel looks huge on a sim rig.

[@NoNameLeft1500]

:D wait till you drive at road atlanta :D after the imsa race there... my arms realy were in pain... there are so violent bumps and kerbs with the elavation changes... it was like you get punched into your arm/shoulder a few times each lap...... sweat was dripping.. arms in pain...and the body completely exhausted... but it was fun... fun fun fun.. !! :D congrats on your new rig... welcome to the simulation genre :)

[@IIIErebusIII]

Oooo shiny new things.

[@DiViNiTY1337]

FINALLY! Now you should tell us what was the little purple round-ish thing you had in the old T3PA Pro brake pedal. :)

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

It was a skateboard bushing that was originally part of the brake basher mod.

[@mendokusai9425]

I guess you don't need people to tweet @ thrustmaster for a ts-PC racer anymore. Jimmy is moving up in the sim-racing world, next you'll be buying yourself a house like Empty Box, lol

[@Apexcasket]

you should check out the momo mod 88 320mm wheel, its like the perfect size for every kind of sim racing in my opinion.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Fantastic rig.

[@sampletext823]

this setup look badass!

[@fishblade2]

Do you happen to have a video explaining and showing your setup updated as well as how you adjusted your pedals and force feedback? By the way what brand of steering wheel did you get?

[@xSidn3yx]

nice rig jimmy. would like to see a vid from your perspective. with all that new sim goodness you need to show it off. maybe wear a go pro just once.

[@BaronVonHaggis]

so tempted to join the osw gang...🏆

[@boba_rhett]

Sweet setup, Man! I have an Obutto Ozone. Fits me fine!

[@OhItsThat]

Can you show us around the rig next time?

[@deskane8757]

Rig is looking awesome Jimmy - have you decided what way you are going with your gear shifter !? It got one of these recently - very expensive but an awesome addition to moving your rig to PRO LEVEL !! Ascher Racing Buttonplace C20XL - Have my HE Pedals on order ;-) Also running the same OSW DD with MMOS settings, let me know if you need setups help etc.

[@benjiesau1497]

Hey you basically never need gloves in the gym. Barehanded it with chalk if needed for heavy deadlifts or something, you get better grip strength development and it's just more dexterous/less sloppy feeling. You do have to wash your hands though.

[@jamieotis214]

new rig hype!

[@nickyjj5459]

hey jimmy nice rig , what screen do u use thanks

[@DrivinwithTazza]

Hi mate what does the stress ball do underneath the gas pedal when you was using your old pedals

[@Fivizzz]

Never skip arm day, bro.

[@Sunesen]

Are you using a new shifter? Or the TH8RS shifter in sequential mode?

[@Rudolph5231]

wich shifter are you now using? still the Thrustmaster or a different one?

[@TNStrikeman]

lol We will be calling Jimmy Mr muscle in a few months time :D I will tell you that even on lower force setting it will still make your shoulders ache. I use a sparco 323 and thats a nice size not big or too small but it would seem to have gone up by £80 since brexit..

[@choerry1557]

What PC you using?

[@Adam-by8rs]

How much does the rig cost??

[@johnhuyton7966]

I've been waiting for this video

[@ndlsjk]

Hey try Dirt Rally on max FFB with the OSW, I wanna see your arms actually come off lol. Edit: At 6:50 it almost happens lol

[@AT-zg4xs]

whoop!

[@daniels0319]

I think ur wheel is a bit too far away from u, especially if u have a dd-wheel now...

[@p0intdk]

You kinda have to brake in the pedals a bit, after stumping on mine a 100 times or so, now its no as stiff as it was in the beginning.

[@p0intdk]

Also if you get a smaller wheel Jimmy, you have to put more strength into wheel since the size of the steering wheel is a bit like the length of a torque tube. So the longer tube is(Smaller dia. the wheel is) the easier it is to turn.

[@CANiHAVEaCHIP1]

You've sold me on an OSW. Problem is, I'm 17 and work 1 day a week.

[@ElitePwnageGamer]

SMauler9 I'm 18 now, I'll give you some advice. Working full time over the summer is the best decision I've made. If you can get someone to give you a full time gig over the summer, no matter what it is, I would suggest taking it. Gl 😀

[@sylaswoltan7082]

why is this in my recomendation

[@Noggin41]

you should do a giveaway with your old stress ball lol i would put that in a museum

[@AidanMillward]

Noggin41 stress ball vanished never to be seen again.

[@jasonwatson9127]

Noggin41 - The chickens ate the famous stress ball.

[@Noggin41]

NOOO :( so sad. lol What did he do with the old pedals and what not?

[@AidanMillward]

Think he chucked them. The fan was bost on the T500 and the clutch was on the way out.

[@illiteratethug3305]

"The reason I'm driving this car is..." ...because it's an Aston? You dont need anymore reason

[@oxymore4190]

wow!! very nice jim!! Need muscle? lol

[@unscrecon1]

How many of those 6 thumbs down are from the green eyed monster at Jimmy's cool free stuff?

[@KeithDenny]

unscrecon one from his stress ball no doubt

[@moose4908]

FINALLY

[@Calle...]

Is it really supposed to be that hard? Looks like your're driving without a servo. It's really not that much of a force in modern racing cars.

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

Not it's not, but I mentioned in the video that I cranked it up to 100% to show off the strength of the wheel. I'd never use it in actual races.

[@corvettec-dt1eq]

now play Scrap Mechanic! store.steampowered.com/app/387990/Scrap_Mechanic/

[@darrenbell4898]

onesimpro.com this is the wheel digi prost uses. I'm waiting for mine to come through, its a lovely looking wheel at a reasonable price. simracingcoach.com also do fairly reasonable price wheels

[@TNStrikeman]

That onesimpro looks good! I will get one when I have a few spare ££

[@mono_vt]

360p club!

[@MentatOfDune]

Jimmy, I didn't realise you won the Eurovision song contest last night, Grats to you! www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-39911839 ps. That is you yeah? :p

[@HeadBassVTEC]

I wanted to see the rig, not you driving (for once).....don't clickbait us jimmy

[@olleborner4604]

You know that your left foot should always be on the clutch, right foot on gas and able to brake.

[@goofboy413]

Look up "left-foot braking".

[@ewesey]

Olle börner if you didn't notice he's not using the clutch. this car isn't a h pattern shifting car. it's a race car with auto throttle blipping. literally no need to use the clutch.

[@bobwilliams3]

Yes, although the real AM DBR9 need heel-toeing while downshifting (no need of using the clutch while switching to higher gears).

[@ngc-fo5te]

Please pronounce Nike correctly - I know Brits struggle with such things but at least try.
