Thanks for commenting! The good thing about setting up the triples is it is a one time task so no ongoing time commitment. I'm very interested to see what happens to vr in the next 5 years though!

Thanks for reaching out! Extrusions Online can supply 4040, but if you're wanting 4080, 40120 or 40160 you should speak to RaceKraft

@@DrAlanQuan Thanks very muchly, the amount of times I have looked at the racekraft website but missed the DIY section is embarrassing!!

@BaldmanAUS I just jumped on the website to find the extrusions - it's pretty easy to miss the single product link on page 2 of the DIY section. But give them a phone call and they'll get you sorted. If you decide DIY isn't worth the hassle they can deliver a fully turn key system into your house which is pretty neat

Ah thank you so much. I'm so glad we have this chance to meet! Do you race with a Podium wheelbase?

@DrAlanQuan Yes, I've been using a podium dd1 for around two years now. I want to make some changes to my setup to improve immersion such as the shaft extension and I will definitely take your idea to reinforce the entire assembly. Brilliant 🤩🤩🤩

I've reached triple OLEDs. It was nice! Haven't tried VR since 6 years ago, would love to try a more modern headset

Thanks for your kind words! It looks a bit different now but it's still got a lot of little touches that make it really tailored to my needs

If you can wait 10 years!

The online hype machine is strong with this one 😉

Well spotted! This has come up a few times before, feel free to read some of the other comment replies but basically aside from screen size/form factor, the angle of the side monitors and also the distance from driver to centre screen play a role in FOV. Those two factors were not controlled between all the screen configurations as they weren't setup especially for comparison, but for their own purposes. In a perfect comparison, we would equalise all the factors

Sounds like fun :)

And my thanks to you 😁

Glad it could help! Why were you thinking of switching? Were you unsatisfied with the triples, or did you just want to do 'something, anything' to the rig?

@@DrAlanQuan Long story shortish: My WFH setup needs new monitors and I've been wanting to update my gaming pc's monitor as well. Additionally, I have issues getting my monitors on my sim perfectly level due to my house being built in the 1800's. So I thought i could kill multiple birds with 1 stone by repurposing the Sim monitors and getting a single ultrawide.

@@DrAlanQuan curious what monitor mounts you are using? Maybe it’s time I retire my diy stand.

@joshuabichsel the stand is Trak Racer, but the monitor mounts themselves are my own 3D printed design which are adjustable so I can get perfect alignment just like the Simlab Vario etc The files are available on my cults page and I'll make a video about them eventually

Yes! But for data you will need a cable to the PC

@@DrAlanQuan THANKS DOCS. WE NEED A PODIUM HUB OR QR2 ULTRA FROM SIMUBE.

Oh man, it was such a weird time. The league was growing when the video went live, my video reached tens of thousands of people in the first months, and participation just .. died? But the shout out lives on like a little time capsule. JackKnife ran a great F3 league and I loved being part of it. Big shout out to John and Bruce!

Yeah it's been a while man, I'm still seeing medical professionals but after all this time with no resolution it feels like this is the new normal Anyways, triple 32s set up the way I like them, 1300mm total wingspan - but the on-floor footprint is a lot narrower since you can hover monitors over a desk or something like that

Thanks! It was a real privilege to have this in the studio

The 57 gives about 5% more FOV for 100% more money than the 49

That's definitely a trade off, and where big single screens do win out

Yes it was set up as a single monitor. You're right, there are ways to fudge the settings to artificially get more FOV but then you lose the perspective correct viewport which is important to me

My triple 32s are VA and I think they are absolutely good enough. A little bit of blurring especially when racing at night, but I was able to tune it mostly out by adjusting the overdrive settings in the in-monitor menu. The colour does shift when you view the monitor off-axis where IPS screens do better - but I don't think colour accuracy is super important for the side monitors. I think people over complicate things and generally like to argue a bit too much. I think for 150€ savings, it's worth it.

I do not!

Hi, have a look at my cults page! I have each of the designs available individually, or a complete package with everything together If you want my latest and greatest dual material design which allows a soft TPU layer over the solid core, that's exclusive to my complete collection. That one isn't available in the 310 size though, just 270, 280 and 290 cults3d.com/en/users/DrAlanQuan/3d-models

There's more to FOV than just physical size or resolution (in fact resolution has nothing to do with it) Distance to the driver, and angle of the side monitors plays a role and those are factors that weren't controlled in this comparison. If you want to know more, have a read through the comments as I've explained at about fifteen times already. Long story short - my experiment was imperfect, but you get the idea

That is correct. It wasn't practical at the time of filming to control all the variables 100% so this comparison is not ideal, but I feel like it gives a good starting point for anybody making their purchasing decision

Thanks man that means a lot

@ LOLhad no idea you would see this, knowing that, i should have said this was a GREAT video and an absolute awesome find while working on my sim journey, from console guy to the deep end of the sim pool... Thank you SO much for the amount of effort and info that went into this! truly appreciated, and sub'd ;-)

@@NotMyName-q2v haha my day just keeps getting better and better! There's a lot of options and opinions in this hobby and I hope my content gives you enough food for thought for you to confidently make decisions that best suit you :) But seriously, it means a lot to receive your words of kindness. So much work goes into producing these videos (even ones that seem like low effort!) and to know that it has some kind of meaningful impact is really great. Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for your kindness

Yeah, lots of different ways about it. I don't like the idea of the screen swinging around relative to my face though. I like the world to remain stationary as I move my head around - like real life. The head tracking thing just sounds like a recipe for motion sickness. I shouldn't knock it till I try it - but I have no interest at the moment. Thanks for sharing the alternative option though!

Did I mention that? Haha it's been a while since I made this video. I'm glad you found it useful!

@@DrAlanQuan yeah hahaha 3:05, how are they by the way, do you think that without them you feel a big difference ?

@@flingo1192 yeah there's a big difference between haptics on and haptics off. It's unmistakeable feedback in the sole of your foot. For me and the cars I drive, I didn't find the haptics of much benefit so I don't run any pedal haptics on my personal rig.

@DrAlanQuan Good to know, appreciate the replies, i drive gt3, rally, drift vasically everything so i guess for me they might be of a bit more use

​​@@flingo1192 yeah it gives you options that's for sure especially since you drive a more diverse range of vehicles than I do

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts 😀

Standard part 👍

I had loads of fun on my single 24 for a year before I upgraded :)

🤷

Definitely helps with sensation of speed - but even I raced on a single screen, I got used to the visual cues about speed and was able to race fairly well

@DrAlanQuan most games work well on single except for raceroom. Don't feel any sense of speed. I can race still well but don't enjoy it as much.

From memory, 600mm

I find the combination very helpful

That setup is still too expensive for me. Nice equipment and compact, slick packaging - but very expensive

I always run iRacing windowed borderless, and there was a windows update or something that caused the taskbar to stay on top. On one PC I managed to get it fixed, but it was a major headache (unexpected graphics setting changes that needed a complete from-scratch monitor settings config) and I didn't want to deal with it on another PC, so I just filmed it as is. The problem eventually got fixed (I suspect from another windows update, because I don't remember actively fixing it) but yeah, that's why there's a taskbar in some of the shots

@DrAlanQuan oh okay , that makes sense.

Definitely yes. The bolsters on the base and seat back are quite wide. There's a short segment in the review where you can see me swinging my thighs back and forth within the seat and there's plenty of room

@@DrAlanQuan Ok good to know, I saw the measurements on the site and there were a lot narrower compared to my Trak Racer seat.

If you're in Victoria head into the SimRigs showroom. if QLD go to Everything Simulated. If in Perth go to RaceKraft. Then you can touch, feel, sit in the seats and go from there. 👍

@@DrAlanQuan Good to know, Thanks

That is correct

Haha that's awesome man, thanks! The guy I bought from (1UP Engineering) decided to focus on his engineering/machining business instead of the simracing cockpit space so as far as I'm aware, my rig is no longer available for purchase. It's basically a Sim Lab GT1 Evo clone though

I personally don't really care for the multicolour, but I would be interested to see how they implement it

Leather no. Not sure about latex

That's definitely my opinion. I would be quite disappointed to spend good money switching from a 34 to a 49 when it doesn't provide much difference I do get a lot of comments from people happy with their super ultrawides, and that's great - but having touched and felt and used all the different configurations, for me it has to be triple.

💰

Hi! VNM is still my preferred pedal - having spent more time with them both, I find the VNM throttle in particular has much more natural feel. I haven't tried the VRS, I did reach out to them but they declined to send me any pedals to test. They seem like a solid choice though.

Haha thanks man. Millennial here, checking in 🫡

Up to you :)

Hi man, sorry about the late reply. Triples are the easiest, most regret-free purchase ever. As for which monitor, your PC will run any reasonable triple set up well - as long as you're not doing triple 57s you're going to be A-OK

Not sure, I haven't used a ps5

Yeah the current pricing is proper value

That's really interesting! I can't visualise in my mind how that would make any difference but it definitely sounds worthy of testing

Hahahaha yeah it's pretty neat huh? A lot of my early videos were basically 'how can I use my camera jig to create a cool effect' as the primary objective, and then the simracing content was figured out afterward. Thanks for the support!
