Thanks!! The headset makes it a little tricky to drink from a water bottle even with a long straw, so the water bladder quickly became my method to stay hydrated 😄
Thank you for the kind words! I’m just out here tryin my best to make the best videos I can- maybe someday we’ll hit that 100k mark and have a huge celebration 🙏
NOW we’re talking, why didn’t I think of that?! 🤣🤣🤣 Also, don’t Google what F1 drivers do if they have to use the bathroom during a race… for me I just pause the game and go use the restroom, but they don’t have that option… 🤨
Please drop your asseto corsa presets graphics settings. You can upload presets. I pretty much have the same pc specs and setup but with hp reverb g2. But I get pretty low fps. I really only play no hesi.
I build my own rig with aluminium profiles and old office chair. The best part is that you don't need to build anything complicated. I live in a flat so my construction capabilities are very limited. Also own build rig is very flexible to changes and new additions. I started with a wheel stand (foldable one) and office chair with flip flops under wheels to make it not ride away \(￣︶￣*\))
i started with an wheel stand and n wooden plank with holes in it attached to it so i could put the wheels of my office chair in their and it would ride away. now ive build my own wooden setup, very sturdy and i can upgrade what ever i want
I was planning on buying a sim cockpit, but then I stumbled upon a post on Facebook Marketplace where someone was giving away a brand new dentist's chair for free. Naturally, my gaming brain went into overdrive, and I immediately contacted the person. Next thing I knew, I had the chair, fully electric and controlled by a pedal-joystick setup on the back. I decided to modify it, installing a cheap Arduino controller with Wi-Fi. Now, I can control the chair from my phone and even through Google Assistant. The result? A one-of-a-kind sim rig that's perfect for everything from F1 to GT and even space simulator games. Plus, it looks incredible! and futuristic!

I’ve been struggling to find a way of using my Oculus 2 and a pc for sim racing. Can you explain the process of what to buy to use the Oculus and how to hook it up. I also have a wheel with pedals that work on my PS 4. I have Asseto Corsa and love playing on my 65”, but I’m looking for that immersive experience vr has to offer. Thank you so much for the realistic point of view!
assetto corsa on pc nativly supports oculus link, and you should be able to plug ur wheels and pedals into ur pc and it should all be workable in the assetto corsa settings
Good question, I don’t have anything like that on my sim rig, but I would guess you’re looking for something like a Buttkicker device? Those are a few hundred dollars, but if you’re looking for more of a motion mover, those can start at $1K bucks and depending on their capabilities, can go well up into the thousands for just that one component. I hope this helps.
@@BPBomber you’re very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m looking forward to making more sim racing videos as my sim rig evolves. So far, I’ve enjoyed keeping my sim rig simple, but believe me, there is always a constant itch to upgrade. Motion movers are interesting because they are definitely a key component of high end sim rigs, but I wouldn’t say they are essential when getting started. They are also pretty cost prohibitive in comparison to other components that give you more “bang for the buck”, like upgrading your wheelbase / wheel / pedals. So, keep your focus on the components that your body touches first. There is certainly a lot to learn when getting started, but you will definitely have more fun and learn faster by upgrading from a simple setup over time than just diving into the most expensive setup money can buy “just because you can”, although it is very tempting. To me, it is like a musical instrument, just like guitars. You can be a beginner and go out and buy a $10k guitar, but you won’t sound any better for it. Start with an affordable guitar, and work your way up to it and by the time you know exactly the reason why that guitar costs $10k, you will be ready to play it.
Hmmm for F1 23 VR I usually connect via my link cable, so it opens to Oculus Home (maybe it’s called Meta Link app now) but it’s the white void type of place. Then I launch Steam VR from there, and then launch F1 23 from the Steam Games panel and it prompts to open regular or VR mode. I just check the box to remember my choice and always open in VR mode because VR is the only way I play F1 now that I’ve got it going.
Haha I hear ya- i meant within the 3000 series of Nvidia GPUs the 3060 would be mid range, where the 3050 would be the low range and 3070, 3080 are high range, 3090 is god tier. In the grand scheme of GPUs today I agree, the 3060 is a great card. I would definitely consider it mid-high range of “price to performance” GPUs for sure
True, I’ve seen lots of Reddit posts on how to DIY build your own sim rig, either out of wood or PVC, which is super kühl and infinitely customizable but for me once I saw the PlaySeat Evolution on Craigslist for $200 I knew I’d rather go for that then rent tools and such from Home Depot, I’m also in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of “workshop” area besides my basement which is a shared space anyways, know what I mean… maybe once I buy a house with a garage and get more tools I can get more into DIY stuff, that’d be really exciting!! By the way, thanks very much for watching and commenting 🙏
Pico 4 VR 500€ steering wheel 100-400€ Unfortunately you need a very strong graphics card for VR and only the 4090 comes for €1700. with the GK alone you are well over 1000€ if I don't want pixel graphics
Great question! I struggled with this too and the thing that helped me the most was to change the resolution slider from “auto” to “manual” everywhere possible. For instance on my PC I had to change that setting in the Oculus app device settings, as well as in the SteamVR video settings for games that launch in Steam because if you only did one it would still be yo-yo-ing the resolution on the other setting, so you have to do both. So to change it from “auto” to “manual” all you have to do is select a resolution scale that’s NOT auto. Like, even if you set it to “1x”, even though that shouldn’t technically be any different than the auto setting, at least it takes it off “auto”. This also fixed all the annoying jittering (juddering?) stuttering etc that I was having especially in F1 23 VR and Assetto Corsa VR mode. You can experiment with setting video scaling to 1.5x etc as some people say it looks better but that really just depends on the hardware of your system, but the important part is that it isn’t set to “auto” anymore, no matter what the “manual” scaling value is, 1x, 1.1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, etc. I hope that makes sense and I hope that helps you out! If you have a specific problem with a specific VR sim title let me know too and I’ll tell you if I’ve ran into it before. Cheers!
I dont have a PC but I'll likely only use it to play the SIM Racing games. Is the RTX 3060 the only requirement I need to look for in a PC to be compatible with VR?
Great question, the short answer is yes- the 3060 (or now 4060) graphics card should be fine for most VR games if you lower the settings a bit when using PCVR on the Quest headset like I was here in this video. But the longer answer is it also depends on what headset you’re using- if you grab a 4K per eye headset and expect 120hz, well that kind of VR performance only comes with a 4090… so yeah for VR whether you buy a pre-built or build a PC yourself, generally you should look to get the biggest graphics card you can afford depending on what kind of performance you’re looking for. I hope this helps!
Great question, and depends what kind of speed you are referring to- if you’re referring to your ISP bandwidth, aka how you pay for internet to your house, then once the game is downloaded the speed does not matter, unless you are playing online multiplayer in which case you’d need the same kind of speeds comparable to other online games, whether they are VR or not. But if you are referring to using a VR headset like the Quest over wifi, then the wifi bitrate should be over 100Mbps to max out your available usage of AirLink, and 200Mbps for Virtual Desktop. If those answers are not what you are looking for, then please let me know. And thanks for watching!
@dylanmacintosh yes ISP Bandwith... ie if I want to use a VR headset for AC or iRacing or? I have seen different answers ie if there is too much latency(?) you can get 'motion sickness' (which I am definitely sensitive to). Also, I saw Steam used to have a system checker where it would tell you if your PC/Laptop will support VR games etc... and tia:)@@dylanmacintosh
Great question! So if your concern is your ISP's bandwidth for online multiplayer, then I think you should be pretty much good to go if you have a normal internet connection like broadband, fiber, etc. The only option that wouldn't work is high orbit satellite connection due to the higher latency. So, the round trip latency, or "ping", is more important for online gaming than simply bandwidth/speed which doesn't really matter if it's all that fast. I hope that helps! As far as a system checker for minimum requirements, most games like AC or iRacing will have a webpage on their website listing their minimum PC specs, so check with those specific games as well. Keep in mind there might be a separate minimum spec for the VR mode of each game. In general though any modern system with a dedicated graphics card of 60 series or higher equivalent power should do the trick to get you started, but of course a bigger more expensive graphics card will allow you to turn up the resolution and framerate. I hope this helps!@@timripley7168
Great question! I would say it’s probably not possible to run 2 racing sims off of one PC… it essentially comes down to the racing sim software only being able to run one instance of the game at a time, and all the racing sim games are local single player, no split screen like some console arcade racing games. So unfortunately I don’t believe it would be possible without running a crazy expensive computer with two or more virtual machines running multiple instances of the game, and even then it would be about as expensive and resource intensive as running two computers anyways… so, this thought process brings me back to saying one PC per racing sim is still the way to go ☝️
Great question, are you referring to a VR racing game you can play with ONLY the Quest 2? If so, I think the only such title available at this time is Grid Legends. However if your question is referring to using the Quest 2 as a PCVR headset connected to your gaming PC, the go-to VR racing titles are Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Automobilista 2, F1 22 or 23, Project Cars, or Dirt Rally. They are all good at different things, so no one game is “the best” racing sim at everything. They can all be hardly fairly cheaply on regular PC Gaming sales such as Steam sales etc. I hope this helps!
Not to worry, the sim starts with the game- not the equipment. I played racing games with just a regular gamepad since I was a kid up til recently. Took a long time to upgrade gradually to the wheel, chair, headset and all that.
Thanks for watching and commenting- I sure am enjoying it, most nights and weekends to this day. Could I upgrade it? Of course. I’m always wondering about just how much better a direct drive wheel could be, but then I’d have to upgrade to a more rigid seat, new H pattern shifter to match the new wheel ecosystem etc… so in the meantime, I’m enjoying the ease of use of the Logitech.
LOL great point, I think the most common card on the Steam survey is still the 1650 by a good margin, but the 3060 is right behind it. I was more thinking of the “mid range” part of like, within the 30-series range the 3060 is between the 3050 and 3070, but yeah as far as it’s capabilities it’s a rather well performing card for the price over previous generations, probably why it’s 2nd on the steam survey currently, a lot of people are switching to it since it’s a great upgrade over older generations for not “too” much more money. I did release a newer video recently though on upgrading my GPU to the new Asus 4070 Dual, I was very happy with the way it came out! As always thanks for watching and commenting 🙌
@@dylanmacintosh haha yeah. I was actually thinking about upgrading from the 1650 and also buying a VR headset for sim racing. Would you recommend the 3060 for VR racing? again super sick sim rig.
Great question! Honestly, yes I would recommend the 3060 to get started with VR racing, but also the 4060 has recently come out for $299 MSRP so I might recommend that too, just depends on what sales you can find. Since upgrading to the 4070 I’ve realized that I could’ve just lowered the settings to like, VR Medium on the 3060 and been perfectly stable at 72 fps even in the wet races, even with the Ryzen 3600 CPU that I had in the system at that time as well. There’s definitely diminishing returns if you spend more money on the gpu + cpu because you’re still locked in at 72fps if you’re using Quest 2 default settings anyways. So, I think even todays modern budget offerings have really decent VR performance, especially for F1 VR games at 72fps. I hope this helps!
Is that what that’s for??? My sim rig rolled away 😭 JK, I thought about adding an e brake but I don’t play many drift sims at the moment, mostly formula, so I don’t even really need the H pattern shifter either- but due to space and bare bones budget I had to kind of pick which one I wanted, so H shifter for now but in the future if I start playing drift sims I will definitely be adding one. Thanks for watching!
Mid-range in this context is referring to middle of the 30 series range, as in between the entry level 3050 and high end 3080 (and god tier 3090). It’s a very good card relatively speaking, especially comparing to upgrading from older generations like 10 series and older if that’s what you’re wondering!
LOL the 1660 is a great card and is still the most popular graphics card currently, I meant the 3060 is mid-range since it’s in between the 3050 and 3070/80/90 so in Nvidia’s branding the 3060 is “mid range” of the 3000 series even though it is of course a very capable modern graphics card, not necessarily “mid” in terms of the entire GPU market

Since upgrading to the 4070 I’ve realized that I could’ve just lowered the settings to like, VR Medium on the 3060 and been perfectly stable at 72 fps even in the wet races, even with the Ryzen 3600 CPU that I had in the system at that time as well. There’s definitely diminishing returns if you spend more money on the gpu + cpu because you’re still locked in at 72fps if you’re using Quest 2 default settings anyways. So, I think even todays modern budget offerings have really decent VR performance, especially for F1 VR games at 72fps. I hope this helps!
@@dylanmacintosh Yeah that definitely helps, thank you so much
This way I love sim racing
Does this work on PC?
Great question- yes, it works on PC. I am using a PC here in this video. I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any other questions!
It works better on pc 😉
No parking brake???
Is that what that’s for??? My sim rig rolled away 😭
JK, I thought about adding an e brake but I don’t play many drift sims at the moment, mostly formula, so I don’t even really need the H pattern shifter either- but due to space and bare bones budget I had to kind of pick which one I wanted, so H shifter for now but in the future if I start playing drift sims I will definitely be adding one. Thanks for watching!
wait 3060 is mid range?
Mid-range in this context is referring to middle of the 30 series range, as in between the entry level 3050 and high end 3080 (and god tier 3090). It’s a very good card relatively speaking, especially comparing to upgrading from older generations like 10 series and older if that’s what you’re wondering!
Subbed!
Thanks so much!
Gotta be a cheaper computer smh lol
Lol.....your setup might be under $1000, but if you slap some Aston Martin or Red Bull labels on it, it'll immediately cost over $5000. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right??? It’s all branding 🤣 someday I might actually build a copy of the CURV simulator, but you bet your bottom dollar it won’t be $80k 🤑
3060 mid? damn my 1660ti is a third world country then😢
LOL the 1660 is a great card and is still the most popular graphics card currently, I meant the 3060 is mid-range since it’s in between the 3050 and 3070/80/90 so in Nvidia’s branding the 3060 is “mid range” of the 3000 series even though it is of course a very capable modern graphics card, not necessarily “mid” in terms of the entire GPU market
thank you
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏

OMG half of the video is intro. Get to the point.
You talk too much! Get to the bloody point!
That’s not a sim. Logitech g29 is not a sim wheel. It feels nothing like an actual wheel whatsoever. It’s a toy.
Good for you buddy !
