Yeah for flight VR is unbeatable. Head/eye Tracking on monitors sucks 🤢

@iansmashracing truuuue but feeling around in the dark for controls is bootybuttcheeks.... I like the idea of having spatial awareness.

@@Crustinho99 thank you! 🙏 That was exactly my intention. I like driving lots of different cars but focus on formula/open wheel. Having a visually specific cockpit would be so goofy driving in a mismatched car. I wanted to build something kind of universal that felt like a “sim racing cockpit” so it would work for everything more or less

Thanks for the tip! I made some 3D printed shields that slot onto the bezel. But I think I need to extend them longer to completely kill the glare

Nice! Good luck on the build!

@@GinaDeWitt-o3d for the roof? for me maybe like $50? But I had the extrusions and some other stuff already. All in, including the lights, fans, cost of 3D prints, buying extrusions, foam, vinyl, acrylic piece. Maybe $100-150?

@@kyleshepherdmusic yessir!

Thanks! I definitely put some effort into it!

So the lights in the roof are actually connected to the sim via Simhub They’re from a brand called Govee and they’re super affordable!

@@electivire1001 holy shit thats awesome

@@kevinkev1530 thx bro I try 😅

Yeah I'll never go back to screens after VR.

As much as it feels cool to use VR, I just can’t handle the motion sickness on long sessions. I’ve used a few high end sets (varjo was prob the best I’ve tried) I like to drive for a few hours at a time so i feel like triples just works better for what I want to do. IMO there’s no wrong way to do it though.

😂😂😂 Bezel free setup is on the list but I’m determined to diy it instead of paying Asus $185 for some strips of plastic and throwing away the rest

Thanks! 🙏

@@tnev22 lol so it’s kind of hard to explain A while ago I made this huge Dyson style fan to go on my pc and boost the exhaust fan on it (kind of just a junk science experiment) But it actually worked. So I didn’t take it off even though it was kind of impractical. So then I decided to pipe in a duct on the other end of the blower so pull hot air from the cockpit (since it’s blade less the air comes out after the PC exhaust, so it technically doesn’t matter what temp the air is coming in…I guess hotter is better?) So depending on your perspective. It’s either an extra heat exhaust vent. Or the intake to my PCs electric supercharger 😂 I should make a video about it but it’s really stupid for how big and complicated it is. I get 1 degree or so of cooling benefit and the cockpit has more heat vented out 🤷‍♂️

@ sounds interesting. At first I thought it was a dump for the pc exhaust which made me scratch my head lol. Supercharger inlet sounds a lot better tho. Love little projects that get way more attention than they deserve. Keep creating.

@@ali09gaming58 I think it would be hard to make it compatible with lots of setups and also look good tbh Too expensive to manufacture ton of different sizes/shapes

Yeah definitely!

@@iansmashracing That's nice. Keep up the great content!

@@davidlee-rc6gr Hell yeah thank you bro 🤟

@@Alyslay_jc I’ve thought about it but tbh I just haven’t gotten around to it. Originally I bought a pack of cheap fans not knowing the difference between PWM and non. So these don’t actually work for wind sim. So it’s really just about buying a new set of fans and working it out. Generally though, I can’t imagine the wind sim will give me much performance-wise so constant airflow is fine with me. At the end of the day I really am on a budget so I guess you could say I’m just saving up ✌️

Yeah I’m still working out the process. The worst part is I have more lights and a much better camera than what I used 😅 I was just hoping to make it easier on myself. Noted for the next one though!

@iansmashracing all good man, aside from that it's a good video 😁 keep it up

@@numbr17 thanks! Yeah I really went for it. Night races during the day is how I ended up with the curtains. Too much glare from windows in the house! The sim at the end is iracing. My favorite for sure. It’s a little pricey compared to the others but it’s awesome.

@@aviation8871 ✌️✌️ thanks!

@@jonathanmc9321 govee h5650 lights. They have a bunch that work with simhub but they must be “dreamview” compatible. There is some glare but not nearly as bad as it looks in the video. I’m using a GoPro on “superview” to get as much cockpit in frame as possible and it makes the reflections/glare look crazy. I made some small “blockers” to cut the glare down and they help, but they need to be a little longer to completely fix the issue. Hoping to get to it in the next couple of weeks

@@iansmashracing thanks for the information! I have a complete rig similar to what you have, but no roof. I was thinking of putting some sort of small black light or ambient color to light up the area around my wheel and controls. Your work has certainly motivated me to reach higher.

I’m thinking about adding a dim orange light to mine to help when it’s particularly dark (like when I’m on my black background desktop and simhub doesn’t light up the govee bars at all). I

@@Tanxmann 100% only sim racing related pleasure 👀

@@MicahAlvarezRacing yeah I can honestly jump around and it doesn’t really shake Helmet I could imagine might bobble some on big bumps. I’ve been daydreaming about building a “sim” helmet with an integrated cam behind the visor and some fans and stuff but I can’t decide if it’s a good idea or a waste of money 😂 I’m not racing irl so I don’t have/need a helmet otherwise

I got a fan enclosure for my GoPro. It's big makes it very hard to do stuff with. I will send you some links, could give you some ideas. I don't race irl. But I think I am getting a open face racing helmet to see what I can make with it. But everything is so expensive and the projects are never ending 😂.

Ty ✌️

@@GarageRCR it’s pretty quick but depends on where it comes from. They have an American warehouse and European ones w different inventory. My order shipped from Germany but it only took like a week or so.

@@ethandeel1077 for what it is, including the PC and everything, it’s pretty reasonable. It could definitely be a lot more expensive 🤷‍♂️

@@iansmashracing it could be, but you also gotta understand that most end up at best with a moza r5, a 2x4 rig and single monitor/tv they had laying around. 5k is reasonable in the sim world, but it's not budget.
