เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 15 ก.พ. 2021
Major Changes coming to the Channel. With a focus on better quality, more builds and an official decision to keep this channel almost all about Sim Racing the decision has been made to transition the channels name from Podium Couch (which never made sense to most anyways) to Third Wheel Media (as in the the third wheel in your relationship with sim racing). The Podium Couch name will live on to honor a humble and slow beginning as the production and parent company to both Wheel Grime and Third Wheel Media. We’re ready to move forward fast and this is one of the many changes we will be making to fulfill that goal.

How I Spent $13,000 On My Dream Sim Racing and Game Room
มุมมอง 18921 วันที่ผ่านมา
I have had questions about cost and parts for the sim rig and gaming setup and felt the best way to answer would be with a full cost breakdown. The room is currently at about 13k for the main parts. Adding in art and decor probably makes up anouther $1000 so far. There's still a long way to go on this setup and the best has yet to come. Facebook: profile.php?... In the process of p...

The plastic QR actually disables 8nm mode
Is that a console issue? It definitely doesn’t disable it on PC.
let’s go Ethernet 🔥
How did you get the sticker
Lovelystickers.com
Congratulations! We are all excited to see whats coming!
Been here since the beginning Podium couch Wheel grime
What monitors?
32 inch 1500r AOC C32G2
I can't understand how you get such a realistic view. I also have three 32-inch screens.
I basically had to throw out the POV calculations and adjust based on feel. Are you using curved or flat?
Without your wife knowing… how much $$ do you think you have invested?
😂oh she knows, the second newest video my channel has a full cost breakdown if you want to check it out.
Oohhh, I'm your 1k subscriber :) Great videos, keep it up !
Awesome man, welcome and thank you for your support. I’m going to want to get in contact with you directly. Do you have a Facebook or instagram I can reach you on? I can send a link for either one so you done have to share it publicly.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive No problem. Seeing these ideas give me great inspiration for what to do next with my own rig! I am on Facebook and Instagram - I've just started following you on Insta too!
How good is the new qr2 lite?
I haven’t tried the qr2 lite but based on my experience with the qr1, I’ll stick to metal qrs.
Price of sim rig actually surprised me
I didn't realize you were in Vegas also if your on iRacing one day when I'm racing I will say hello
I’m sure I’ve seen you out at the car meets. Whenever I take a break from this channel, it’s usually to make car content for my other ones. Mostly just hit up car meets and film.
You running triple 45in monitors ?
Nope, just 32 inch 1500r curve
i’m really curious how much this setup costed
For the whole room it’s probably around 14k. For the sim rig, all in, it’s probably about 6K right now. The next round of upgrades will probably push it close to 10k. I haven’t done an updated cost video in a while so I’ll add that to my list.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive it’s amazing
Amazing work man, enjoy the spoils of your labor!
What car is it?
@@Rezamajedi 992 Cup car
Great video, and creative. I'm looking to set up a sim rig myself (with just a VR headset bc of space constraints) so it's great seeing what others are doing. Also just absorbing ideas. Cool space!
I use just a vr and logitech setup and still have fun. I have a pretty decent pc and it is a lot more demanding to run than i thought.
Your wheel is flexing the most there my guy. Might wanna review your footage before submitting next time lol. Also if you inspect it regularly and find a crack before it breaks. Reach out to fanatec and they will send you another free plastic quick release for free
This is why you don’t put the metal qr on the first wheel you showed. It’s on an entirely different twice as expensive rim.
What monitors are you using? I must have not heard you mention them (I was working while watching)
They are 32 inch 1500r AOC
Do you have more info on how you built your roof and dash? I am currently building my immersion add ons.
m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02MPQuweAeQTLbxyKFkXizPchBRkXYvzoGHT4CmGdkErYQpGESZPkpv2W5DZXBbvS9l&id=100071394211505&mibextid=WC7FNe
That link shows a fer more details but idk what happened to the original roof post
excellent tutorial! at least this offers something different from traditional drift setups using the hard plastic tires. will definitely try this in my less than perfect concrete deck.
for the secret lab pricepoint, you could get a autonomous ergochair. i personally had a SL for months and it gave me back pain after a few hours. i upgraded to the ergo and its been great, can sit for literally 10 hours before i feel any discomfort. but i also do a lot of work/spend a lot of time at my pc so its more important to me. SL desks seem cool tho, interesting video! :)
Love the effort gone into this video but struggling to understand what you mean with the percentage of the FFB strength, did you mean you had the wheel @ 14% of 8nm? Through the iRacing settings or the Fanatec Settings?
The wheel as set at 8nm in game and fanatec settings. There is a separate strength setting in Iracing that I set to 14 which makes the wheel fairly heavy while steering. I think recommended is around 12 but I prefer a heavier wheel so I increase it a bit.
Hello, im trying to do this project but in the fastled library from electronoobs whats example i should use? Blink? Multiple? can you help?Thank you. Keep the good work
You should just need to follow the steps in the link I shared until you get to the Parismatic part.
How do you get the dash display to fit in your steering wheel window? Do you put the monitor on top of the wheel base or behind?
The monitor is kinda on top of the back part of the base and the wheel base is angled quite a bit to make it work.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive got it, thanks dude!!
I really appreciate your video as a guy who is halfway through his first rig build. Many thanks.
You won 🏆
Now get simucube active pedals, dbox motion, simucube pro base and precision racing LM-X wheel and wind simulator
Some of that may happen but my setup wouldn’t work with a Dbox. Might do a seat mover though. Was focused on the other half of the game room but jumping back into working on the sim rig now.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive I actually have a sear mover just sitting in my basement closet because I got a dbox. Could sell it to you for half price
Thanks for the update.
What are the Tv sizes and are all of them curve?
32 inch 1500r curve
Hi, I love your simrig and the idea you had to create the roll cage, so much that I decided to create something similar too.... However, I noticed that in the latest videos you have changed the shape of the roll cage. Can I ask you why?
I actually built a new rig, the change in design was to lift the roof higher for space and to improve light diffusion. The new ambient light system has to be just right to provide good GoPro light and prevent a sunroof effect.
nice job man
Your POV is looking great. I appreciate you sharing your behind the scenes stuff on your rig build.
Would it work in other games such as FPSs or a flight sim. If it worked on a white windows box then …..
As long as you have sim hub open it works on anything that is on the screen. I use the same software for my FPS games just for ambiance
@@ThirdWheelExclusive that’s so cool. Was considering a hue setup like mentioned but have the required parts you mentioned (but not the number of leds mentioned) so I’m gonna give it a try. So glad this popped up on my feed.
@@paulb36utube I went way overkill so I would have good GoPro lighting. You can also run Govee or hue bars with the diy setup. I am now up to 900 LEDs and 4 govee bars
What parts did you buy to make the GoPro go that low down your face? I'm interested in making some POV videos and can't decide between this or the GoPro bite mount. Thanks!
I just grabbed a U Bolt from Home Depot and bent it until it was the right angle then attached GoPro tripod mounts on both ends. I just ordered a necklace style mount to see if I can close to the same angle without the head gear. Not sure it will feel the same but we will see.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive Thanks for the detailed answer! I'll see if I can't do the same!
Sweet setup. And interesting video. I'm also thinking of going this route with my rig. So its nice to hear someone else thougts and ideas. New sub here 👍
What monitors are those and what pc specs are you running?
AOC 32 inch 1500R monitors with pc specs: Ryzen 5800x, 64gb ram and 7800xt gpu
@@ThirdWheelExclusive thanks and are those 1440p or 1080p?
@@tobiasfurst-n4d They are 1080, as much as I would love a higher quality image, running a higher refresh helps with response times to prevent spins and crashing so until I have a gpu that can run 144+ at higher density, I’m stuck at 1080.
@@ThirdWheelExclusive Thank you for your response. I am deciding on my next triples i will want 1080p but idk if 27 or 32s. Do you think its immersive enough?
How ?
Fanatec has the worst technical and service department ever. Never Fanatec again.
currently still building my rig but love seeing these pov vids
Sponsorship = inflated ego = bankruptcy
Take this with a grain of salt. This is all speculation and opinion. Doesn’t mean anything this guys says is going to happen.
👍for the panels aligned.
Is the third guy Elon?😂
😉
if anyone think fanatec are overpriced wait until corsair buy it lol
There’s a little thing called competition. There are more chances the prices will go down to compete with all the new players in sim racing.
Fanatec made its bed and they have to sleep in it. About 4 or so years ago they brought the csl DD to the market and they made tons of money on it but they also spent lavishly on racing events. Their name was plastered everywhere in real racing sports and e sport events and they let their core system of their company fall behind. They always were plagued with shipping delays. The angle i see is that they had to do orders in small batches because they probably did not have the capital to get some stock done at that time and that came to bite them in the behind. I remember waiting for months for my stuff which really pissed me off. Also the fact that some of their stuff was half baked did not help them and they took forever to release the dumbest simplest could have been done in a day on a machine solution to their wheel being loose on the drive thing while other companies solved the issue on the first round which leaves me to pounder if Fanatec had a ton of stock for their adapters to the wheels and just wanted to burn that stock before offering a new solution. Who knows. Bottom line. They got to the market first. Charged a lot. They were slow to ship. Discounts were few and far in between. No availability at brick and mortar store led to them getting to the brink.... plus those lavish sponsorship and ad spent to pollute everything racing with the name Fanatec...
Misleading information. Your personal Opinion is not fact and evidence of anything.
Hi guys, i have a thrustmaster t248 and i wanna know if worth Change to ts xw and if improve my consistency in f1 game... Pls help me
If you don’t already have the T-LCM pedals, that will impact consistency much more than the wheel will. That said, if you’re considering an upgrade, direct drive is less expensive than the tsxw new and is far more refined.
Nothing to apologize for. Performance driving, learning to understand and feel the balance of the car and traction limits takes time to learn. Also it's not a competition out there, the goal is for you to improve your skills, improve your lap times.
