To address something that people have been commenting about when it comes to Framerate on the Sim. It is very frustrating because i have a very powerful PC But ACC still isn't very well optimized. Somedays i can run the sim on the highest settings without a problem, and somedays i can barely run it on the lowest settings. Not sure why it does that. But in this video it was running ok on my screen its just OBS Decided to be a pain and show the game like a potato. So, very sorry if this annoys you, trust me it annoys me far more.
boot into your bios and enable XMB profile It would help with all that stuttering on your stream
@@thecastrocuba Thanks for the tip. Ill give it a look and try
In my case, shadowplay works better than obs in this game.
ACC is Optimized fine. It's either your PC or you dont have something setup correctly.
@@davidburgess176 Its sadly not. Alot of people with high end PC's have been complaining. Dont get me wrong its far better than it used to be
"Cos we are driving on the right side of the road". So British
Not like nearly everyone else drives on the other side XD
Its like their motto or something
"muffled internal screaming"
Because it's true we drive on the right side of the road
What’s the opposite to the “right side?” The wrong side....
That’s an absolute belter mate! 👌🏻 Happy for ye.
This was eye opening. Love that you recorded your initial drive with it.
Great video mate, i look forward to watching your channel blow up.
Nice video, you are going to love driving with the DD1, and with your P1 you have an awesome SIM rig.
I’ve watched this video like 7 or 8 times and it keeps popping up in my recommended. But I keep watching it because I just love the personality
very nice editing and over all i really enjoyed the video i'm really liking the racing channel so far
I do love the vibe to this channel. Looking forward to see what's yo come of it b
“We drive on the correct side of the road”
Way to call out everyone else that doesn’t drive like that. 😂
True though.
Notice he couldnt say the right side of the road though
@@016chr1s just simply because we Europeans drive on the right side of the road, and they drive on the wrong one. :)
@@PanKosiu So true! XD
Nearly the entire world drives on the right side, but OK.
8:18 Classic Luna. Always the good curious girl she is. New setup definitely looks awesome brother.
Epic sticker on the wheel! Nice video, congrats on getting that beast.
Love my DD1 ( was lucky enough to afford the PS4 version, I wanted to colors and the rim). Made a 10-Series version of your same cockpit too with my NLR GT-Ultimate seat. Only thing different about our rigs aside from that is the handbrake :) Congrats! Watching this made me appreciate my setup so much more :)
Thanks for sharing your experience with the DD base, loved your first reactions to it, makes me want to buy it too haha. For now I'll have to do it with the G27
I am so happy for you bro. I will have one very soon. I have always love racing games. Happy driving . 👍😊
Great insight. I think it's the next base I'll invest in.. Can't wait to feel the difference. Good point about speed, don't do hoping to be quicker. I think you could end up very disappointed.
Well done;) Nice vid.
A wet dream 😅
I went from G29 to CSL and that was a huge jump in feeling and details (still happy with it) but I can imagine how this jump must be!!
Congrats to a great setup!!
Thank you for the video. I have an ordinary Fanatec base and it was a huge improvement from Logitech G29 for me. I can imagine what a direct drive can do.
Driving on the left side of the road is wrong because it is the right side to be... well, the right one. Seriously though congrats on the mighty DD1, really a great choice!
Although I find the best investments (in terms of BANG for the BUCK) I ever made for sims were a good "VR headset" and a "Motion Platform" (I use a relatively affordable Next Level V3).
Those two combined were the real game changers IMHO.
This content is legendary
If you think these things are expensive, let me introduce you to Brazilian prices on them (and keep in mind that our minimal wage is R$ 1.100,00 per month):
My Logitech G29 cost me about R$ 2.000,00 plus R$ 439,00 for the shifter. A simple G29 that looks like a toy, not even close to a sim wheel.
Now, for the Fanatec prices:
- DD1 base: R$ 15.420,00
- Podium Porsche 911 GT3 R Wheel: R$ 6.147,00
- Clubsport V3 Pedals: R$ 3.933,00
- Clubsport SQ V1.5 Shift: R$ 3.114,00
- P1-X sim racing cockpit: R$ 9.888,42 (converting from € to R$ and adding taxes, without including the freight)
So, to have a simliar rig as yours in Brazil, we have to spend about R$ 38.502,42. This is more than 35 months of minimal wage. Brazil sucks. It's really hard to live here. These kind of things are only for the very wealthy people. You guys live in heaven!
Sorry for the rant, I was so happy to see you enjoying your sim, but sad to know that I would need to gave up on so much other things if I want to have fun the same way as you.
Keep up on the great content!
I lived for a short time in UK and I laughed a lot when you said you drive on the right side of the road.
And, after 4 years, I'm still used to keep my gear shifter assembled on the left side of my G29!!!
Nice (and funny) video about the Fanatec Podium DD1. Surely I'd purchase it if I could afford, which is not the case right now. Meanwhile, I try to do the best I can with the G29.
Cheers!!!
honestly the G29 is a great wheel still. but if you want to upgrade to something that is still better id recommend a fanatec csl elite or clubsport. What i did in the first place though when i was using my G902 is was i upgraded everything else around me piece by piece. I started with getting better pedals, probably the best thing to upgrade.
2:10 Love that sound when she grabs the snack :)
Great vid bud
Nice editing. Subbed 👌🏻
Yeah its great! I run the dd2 with the same wheel, got the nice petals as well as DOF H3 while racing with the vive pro. Man racing has never felt so good!
Nice one man. The cost in Canada for DD is just unreal. It’ll happen but hard to justify right now. Enjoy!
Great video mate, would be super interested in the settings you are using for the base and the game... Unfortunately there isn't many videos on the settings used with the Fanatec DD1 and ACC. Keep up the great content!
Loving that adler sticker.
Awesome video, I don't think anyone else has managed to convey just how much heft those units have!! Cheers, G27 user on track stand, now with a similar upgrade path. One day.. :)
Luna at 2:07 is a beautiful dog- cute too. Even said “thank you” after taking the treat off the counter. LOL
Haha, you did it, you clicked test ffb button. That s*** goes bonkers lol. Nice setup fella
Thought I'd subbed, due to video quality :)
Glad I discovered you. Thanks for the review. Does the playseat come with the adjustable rails or did you add it? Once again thanks for the honest value review.
That combo of v3 pedals with the g920 is what I'm saving for right now. I have the G920 already, but brake pedals are probably the most important thing for getting faster laps.
Lol g920 with v3 is a waste. Logitech is junk
@@SIMRIG412 lol, until I can afford a Direct drive wheel the g920 is fine. Anyway, I'm already competitive in all the games I play. What kind of idiot thinks getting load cell pedals is a waste of time? Rather the buying mid range thrustmaster shit, I'll upgrade the pedals. DD will have to wait a year tho.
Your dog is insanely cute. The rig is good too I guess 😂
love the correct side of the road and I just got a delivery of sneak powder
Thanks for the great video. Fanatec packaged the DD1 super nice.
Question - why did u go with the P1-X chassis? I'm looking at the GT1 Evo and as far as I can see, the difference between the P1-X comes with a thicker bottom frame and a support for the shifter. In Canada, the P1-X is 1400-1700$ and the Evo is 800-900$. Seems like alot more for the P1-X for some reason.
Nice video you lucky bastard.
I nearly had an heart attack when I heard « we drive on the correct side of the road » 😫😱
Nice Malamut, makes me miss my Liea R.I.P.
That sim racing cockpit guy is epic
I clicked on the video for the setup :)
Manual shifts are my favorite even though I don't have a car or can get one
I like the duck.
I wish I could invite you to the US to a Track Night. And actually race!
Got a P1X too, the moment you dropped the boxes on your bed in my mind I was like:"Welp, good luke dude, wonder how long this shit is going to take you because it took me flipping 2 days" and then the part where you said it has no manual and you needed to watch Barry, aaaahahahaha, I know the feel dude
P.s. you really need triples
Yoooo congrats! I just upgraded to a Fanatec CSL Elite F1 lol. The DD1 looks like it'll break my arms off 😅 hope you get some extremely fast lap times with that beast! 😼
It can if you crash with full force feedback
Yes! Be careful! I have one of the 1st version DD1, and I recently shredded my rotator cuff after crashing. I've since removed the torque key to avoid re-injury. Still hurts like hell.
Youll be perfect for the grand tour. XD any new videos coming out for DDG? Sorry if it annoys you but I'm curious
"I'm British, we drive on the correct side of the road". LOL Funny joke :D :D :D Seriously, I love Great Britain, but this thing of the WRONG side on the road drives me crazy!
it's simply because the famous lefty Napoleon never conquered this wee Island in europe ;)
Well... India, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia all drive on the left. That's 2 billion people for starters before you count about 50 smaller countries. We aren't quite the weird minority you'd think we were 😎
@ No one said you were a weird minority 😎
@@ay-leck1369 Oh we are 😅
Just not the one you think!
@ now you're confusing me
Barry is the greatest.
It's an expensive hobby you say?
Yet people also buy mobile phones like an Galaxy S20, iPhone 11 and all that jazz and lasts them... what? 3 years?
This Fanatec Podium wheel base will last you a decade and then some, and you probably won't ever need a new one.
So... expensive relative to what?
It's the same thing with musical instruments (which I am guilty of). I have a guitar that's worth more than the racing rig I'll be buying (Fanatec CSL Elite, VR, and 80/20 aluminum cockpit). And that's just one guitar - I have a bunch!
Yeah, I was bitching about fanatec prices when I realised my dyson fan cost 230 just to blow air at my face
Very true!
@@fr3ak1shh I don't have expensive guitars as my most expensive is an Epiphone SG Pro that I bought for... 500 euro there abouts. Yet I do own a Yamaha Tyros 2 XXL keyboard since just before they released the Tyros 3 successor. So that cost me what... 3500 euro? That's what my secondhand BMW E46 Compact 316Ti with only 110000km on the clock cost as well.
Meh... as Zwenk Wiel says... often it's expensive or inexpensive compared to one's bank account and how much value you'd personally give to owning something.
Yet at the end of the day... like they said in Monthy Python's Life Of Brian's song "Always look at the bright side of life", they say... "You come with nothing. You go with nothing. So what have you lost? NOTHING!!!".
In other words just enjoy life the best you can and in the way you enjoy it most as long as you don't hinder the freedoms of the people you encounter that are just as free to fill in their own life they see fit.
If you want to buy a direct drive, get a direct drive. If you want to play a good guitar, get a good guitar. If you want to regularly go to a quality sex worker... hey... it's up to you, mate!
Just make sure you make the most of life and sometimes you can be a bit selfish about it but we also should never neglect the fact that the best joy to be had is in sharing experiences with our loved ones.
Sorry for the ramble. 😅
@@LogiForce86 Well put man, well put.
11:00 YES shifter on the left ftw
I use a logitech g29 and an Ikea table (flex), with an extra bit added on to mount the shifter on. I tried having the shifter on the right side, but it just felt *wrong* , it felt like trying to write with my left hand.
I've got no plans to buy a direct drive wheel because of the cost, but I would like to try it at some time.
I wouldnt, I'd be terrified that i HAD to get one, and bankrupting myself. By the time you bought the appropriate driving rig, pedals, shifter and wheel you'd be over THREE Grand!!!
@@kevinharkness2108 yeah, when it comes to that kind of price, you'd be better off buying a nice little Civic and a helmet and taking it to a couple track days imo haha
That sound at 6:55 is just like my Fanatec CSL Elite... it’s not nice that “knocking” sound. Can you do something about it ? Or is it also like that when Driving in ACC ?
“We drive on the correct side of the road”
Yeah... I don't drive on the left side and you're right.
*Fun Fact:* Race tracks usually go clockwise, so the driver seats were on the right side to compensate the higher number of right turns.
on mobile the channel logo lines up perfectly with the outro background
They feel fucking great
Just curious, when contemplating a DD wheel, did you consider a Simcube base v's Fanatec, or only Fanatec.
If you did consider the Simcube, what was the reason you chose Fanatec?
I only ask as I am considering the step up from my logitech g29 to a direct drive and don't know which I should buy. Some people have warned me that I may not like the Fanatec. They were thinking of buying one but we're lucky enough to try them out before purchase.
I as an Australian salute you for blocking your Sim Setup entrance, I do the same thing hehe
Everything’s cool. Nice and dandy. Just one thing though - you forgot to wear seat belts!
Nice video
im too jealous, congrats though!
I just ordered my very first wheel (g29). However would love to feel direct drive one day!
Good choice!
Barry to the rescue!
I thought..."now this, is a brick" all while remembering, crocodile Dundee! Now say is again 🤣
you legend
And zoom goes the coyote! :D
Gear shift on the left side but the simulation cockpit puts you back to the the left side ;)
Where’s the emergency safety stop
cord though?
Make sure your on the 352 beta aswell👍👍
Looking to get one of these wheels, will it work with a PS5? Also what sort of play seat should to hold the weight of it?
Great set up you got there now. I have just purchased DD1 for the PS4 with V3 pedals, handbrake and shifter. Did you have any problems updating drivers/firmware?
The drivers can be a little bit fiddly but there are plenty of videos and forums on how to do it perfect. Hope you have alot of fun with your DD1
So you would say, first I should get a vr to improve immersion?
Love this guys before he said what side of the road he's driving
Does anyone know the monitor wall mount used on the Frankenstein rig?
Is this better or the dd2? (don't look at the money Just performance) thank you!
im sim racing occasionally since 2 years on my g920, i really look to get a podium series setup in the future because even if i dont use it a lot i will be using it forever...just hope the prices are coming down a little bit maybe next year or so...is it a waiste of money for a hard working occasional player or a good investment for better immersion thats gonna last me a long time? what do you guys think?
That intro was me placing my order two days ago on Fanatec....... lol
where did you buy p1 x and dd wheel?
funny that he says @10:50 correct side of the road, but he shows that year stick is on the wrong side.
but you can easly change it a little bit so its a arm that swiffel out like a door. That should make it a little bit easier to step in en out atleast.
this can also be done whit a arm for the keyboard and mouse
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT YOUR THUMBNAIL HAS FOLLOWED ME AROUND ENOUGH I'M WATCHING THIS VIDEO ALREADY OKAY?
hehehehehe love the Adler sticker
Where did you get the seat slider and mounts for the Playseat seat?
You can buy them as an optional extra from playseat
Coming from a gear driven Logitech to a DD wheel I get that there is a huge difference. But if you have ever get the chance try a csw2.5. it's not as good as the DD of course but the details of the road you feel are the same. It only does it with less torque. Other belt driven wheels can't come close to it.
Should have bought a Simucube 2 pro. Absolutely kills the Fanatec. Not a single glitch or problem and stellar performance for 10 months. Absolutely rock solid. With the best quick release I have ever seem sim or real car. Newton meter crap is so over rated and not important. You want something that gives the best fidelity. Never go over 36 nM - you’ll wreck your wrists.
15:15. I know you invested in a DD wheel and P1 rig! But try and get VR as soon as you can!
Assume you could use a sim labs evo cockpit instead of the P1? Little lighter but like half the price.
You has a husky and I has a husky = instant sub
I have the G29 on the granturismo play seat rig but I really want to go direct drive. The price though is the only reason why I keep having second thought's about it. CSL elite or direct drive tough decision 🤔
Game frame rate is very low and is that coil wine or EMI?
Great review, I very much enjoyed it. I’m struggling with justifying this purchase. I have a playseat evo setup and after some use I see it’s weaknesses. The frame flex’s way too much and I’ve outgrown the TMX pro I’m using. Both feel like toys after watching this review. Thanks again.
I never owned any wheel before, but I have played GT sport in a GR Supra with a G29. I cannot drive it properly without having to spin out in it. Quite hard to catch the slides.
Is that your closet you have your rig in?
i would appreciate if someone tell me whether if dd1 podium wheel work with ClubSport v1 pedals or not?
i think it depends on where you looking from for a rich guy with a varid car collection that ocasionaly do track days this could be a great training aid for him and 5000 euro setup with all the equaly high quality component to the wheelbase will deffinitly be worth it to a person like compare to the toy like setup of the g29 that might harder to relate to the real deal now for a casual gamer its probally not so worth it dishing out somthing that cost more then 5x times a decent gaming pc setup just to play 1 genre of game.
What about FOV? I'm pretty sceptical about the correct values when you sit 1,30m from your Screen, which is about 30".
Oh thats actually deliberate. I pulled the FOV back purely for the viewers pleasure
@@CoyoteRacing ah i understand. But there is still a lot of space between the wheel and the screen. It should feel way better when it's placed as close as possible :)
@@ginowild9979 oh i do intend on doing something about that
Just watching cause random sim racing content pops up on suggested, sees the fursuits in the background. Well damn guess I need to subscribe and find this guy's Twitter.
You can go for a much cheaper wheel on the base and keep the full driving sensation ;-)
You didn't need to upgrade your GT OMEGA
I have the omega and just welded extra bars to it
Its now strong enough to go beyond 20nm.
For most of us spending a grand on a wheel stand is a no go.
spend it all on the wheel and pedals
I bet you can race, but can you also dust off?
Just so you know the instructions are on the simlabs website
