Pleeaaaaasssee lower the music volume. Or increase your voice volume. Having to turn up the volume to hear you then being blasted by the music is not fun.
I will pass this info along to my editor. I personally don’t find that it’s overwhelming and the first time I’ve heard this but nonetheless, everyone’s feedback is important.
i genuinely didn’t even notice that there was background music until i read this comment
You deaf bro? Nothing wrong with the video
Mute + CC
My girl can’t live without the shaft either
Micro shaft? 🙃
@@danielmorad haha zing
1) VR - I can’t drive without it, 2) gloves, yes. I used Mechanix perforated gloves and replace them about once a year. 3) LFE setup. I somehow killed my amp so I’m driving without it, but wow it really puts me in the car especially with headphones. The harmonics of the car just come alive
I second on the VR. It’s such a huge difference feeling like your on the track
Yes for me vr is also the most important.
I feel like I need to do a video to see what VR is like again. I just felt like the performance wasn’t good enough at certain tracks get enough FPS.
@@danielmorad Depends I suppose. If you bring graphics down, you can hit 120 Hz and FPS on some headsets (I did that with my Index), but if you crank a few things up and increase supersampling, you might be stuck at 90 Hz and FPS (which is what I do on my Quest 2 now).
120 is definitely better but I think there's a bug with the Quest 2 drivers and my other hardware drivers causing weird issues.
That all said, I've never sat in a triple screen cockpit so I might be missing out. Screens are more responsive and if you can get some depth perception with them setup properly, that may be the best way to go, but VR certainly is fun.
@@chrisc3825 triple screens are nice but nothing beats the depth perception of VR.
The biggest problem with VR is the reduced FOV. The loss your peripheral vision is a problem but I feel the ability to place your car precisely out ways this negative.
I personally like having a flag light on the rig. It adds a little of detail for various flags around the track and can be programmed to let you know when cars are alongside.
I have the flags on the side LEDs on my wheel but it’s nice to see them for
Sure
Off topic but where is the best place you catch your races online?
Had no idea there were sim racing socks. Been using bulky winter socks when racing. 😂 definitely something I’ll try!
Definitely worth a try. They are awesome. I’m also biased, but I’m making them for a reason.
@@danielmorad thank you for your awesome content. Maybe consider some SIM racing undies.. they could detect code browns in advance.
I personally uses cheap water shoes 😂 they are great: breathable, light and thin
#1 VR
#2 Pro Sim H-pattern
#3 Buttkickers
#4 SC2 Pro
#5 Gloves
You’re going for the big boy accessories. SC2 is more than an accessory haha
@@danielmorad Ok not the SC2 Pro itself but the SimCore UH1-105 extension shaft in gold.
That last bit, getting fitted every year. Thats one of the most important factors your information is truly valuable for young and old alike. Great work.
Great insight there for us Daniel, thanks so much for your time to make sim racing better for all.
My pleasure!
Thanks! I love your videos, very intuitive and i hope your channel grows!
Thanks so much man
You made a really great point about the gloves needing to last longer, and it's something a lot of people don't consider.
It's the same about every piece of eqipment. QR for example, people think if it's used in a real car, it's good enough for their sim, because it's "just a sim". But a lot of the hardware in real cars, even race cars, just sucks. The QR is as light as possible, it's just a thin, loosely matching rod, and in lower series there's a bit of wiggle in the qr. It doesn't matter, it's solid side to side, and you get all the feedback through the car still, but in a sim rig, where stiffness in the mounting solution is essential because the wheel is the only connection you have to the simulated road, it would be horrible. In a real car it also doesn't need to last as long. There's maybe 20 races or so until the car gets a complete overhaul, so that's maybe somewhere around 100 times the wheel needs to attach and detach in a whole year. In your sim rig, you probably race every day or every other day, most people need to remove the wheel to get in and out, and then you sometimes switch the wheels in a session, or you take a break, so in one day you will use your QR anywhere from two to maybe six or seven times, possibly even more. That's gonna be 100 uses a lot sooner than a real car, maybe after a month already. And you won't check your rig throroughly, like they do in real cars after almost every session, your rig is meant to last a lot longer without maintenance. So if you expect your QR to be half decent for at least 3 years, which is already kind of a low bar, it needs to endure multiple thousands of uses, while being very sturdy, and still quick to use. In a real car, it just needs to be light as fuck, quick as fuck, and should absolutely not come off the shaft on its own.
So in many ways, sim hardware actually needs to be better than racing hardware. It doesn't need to be safe and fireproof and certified, but it needs to last a lot longer, it needs to be a lot more comfortable, it needs to be a lot more precise.
VR for depth perception, for car placement. Dolby Atmos for headphones, for front/rear ABS detection & brake balancing. Tillett racing kart seat fitted for my pelvis & lower back size without padding; it is the connection between body & rig for a very stiff brake pedal. American football wide receiver gloves with tips of the thumb, pointer & middle finger cut off & stitched. Palm stickiness & “feel”, and fingertip sensation. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes. Natural rubber sole that wears in for foot & brake pedal connection. Correct amount of cushioning for a very stiff brake pedal. Coolshirt cool-a-clava for head temperature regulation for LFM endurance races. Not too hot or cold. Dyson fan with filter removed. Air flow without noise. 40oz Hydro Flask with flex straw lid; for all day iced drink.
Thanks so much for the info.
Keep pumping these videos out!!
Thanks man
The Moradness gloves are the best. I used the size guide and ended up with medium (even though I’m normally a large). They fit perfectly and have enough stretch. The grip is great too. I thoroughly recommended them.
Thanks so much! Amazing review
Thanks for the suggestions! Great content on the channel, just subscribed.
Very insightful, thanks for posting.
Side note, great job last Saturday marching through the field at Sonoma. My wife, daughter and I really enjoyed it. I was routing for you and my daughter (8), was routing for the BMW in front of you for while, before it pull off.
Thanks so much! That’s awesome that your daughter enjoyed it. Samantha Tan drives that BMW. She’s super nice so I can see why your daughter was cheering for her :)
@@danielmorad ya after the autograph session she definitely had her favorite. Took her autograph to show and tell on Monday. 🤦♂️
Hi Daniel, great videos, it's priceless having an actual racing drivers input on how to make sim racing as realistic as possible!
I was wondering, have you ever considered or tried the SimXperience G-Seat and/or G-Belt? I have the G-Belt and I love it, having sustained breaking forces is awesome. It also does cornering g-forces. I can only imagine how immersive the combo of that and the g-seat would be!
It would be great to hear from a pro how those sustained g-force simulators compare with the real thing!
I just got my bezel kit for my triple 32, very happy with it.
How did you mount yours? Same way as me?
Now i am waiting for the FOV video, the FFB video made my sim so much better. Thank you for that great series.
Working on it! Thanks!!
Another excellent video! Question: Which mount do you use for your Simdeck XL and for the 15 button Simdeck? Thanks again for the excellent content and Gloves!!!
I got the blue 'Race-til-Dusk' gloves and three pairs of the ankle socks. Looking forward to them arriving. And thanks for the great content.
Epic!! Enjoy them man!
I made a part of a roll cage out of pvc and plan to finish it at some point and a roof top across my triple screens more for peripheral a vision and 3D extrusion as well as safety nets. Still a work in progress but nothing beats VR.
Oh that’s so cool! I’ve wanted to so something like that!
Can't wait for your FOV video!!!
Great content Daniel please keep going
Coming soon!
I saw you at sonoma sunday in the pit after your stint! It was lots of fun watching you race!
Thanks a lot. That was a fun race.
Nice video! For me 1. VR HP Reverb. 2. Buttkicker and SRS UShake haptic seat pad 3. Sparco hyper speed plus gloves. 4. Neo G9 monitor on swivel that I can pivot toward my rig when needed to navigate menus in iRacing. 4. For shoes I use the Puma Speedcats- Porsche variant as this gives me a few tenths on track🙂…Just ordered some gloves and socks from your site. I love the customized gloves option!
That’s awesome. Hope you enjoy our gloves and socks.
@@danielmorad ah yes, racing socks! Takes 3 seconds off your lap time*
*this is not a guarantee, do not quote us on this.

I'm at the stage where I think need a driving shaft extension. Been adjusting the ergonomics of my rig a bit lately and I just can't get it to a point where I like it. Having watched a few different videos, the extension might be the key.
Great videos!
Thanks a lot. It makes a huge difference
Varjo Aero for me!! Then haptics second.. Active pedals should should up in a few days so that will be interesting
to test.
Oh you’re getting active pedals!!!
@@danielmorad can’t wait! Can you send me an invite to the discord so I can chat with you guys about settings and stuff ?
It’s in the description
Great Video! Just got two pairs of the neon yellow Sox and they really do make a difference in braking sensitivity! The grip is important for throttle so no slip! Gloves are on their way and I look forward to them. It’s true about durability as my Alpine Stars karting gloves fell apart after two months 😮
That’s awesome. Enjoy all the new Moradness stuff.
Due to lack of space, I have triple 23" monitors. My primary is an Acer that has minimal side bezels, and my 2 side monitors were leftovers from when he upgraded. So placing the "hand me downs" just behind mine, is almost seemless, but I would like to try a bezel delete. But I do also have a VR headset, so not a priority!
I would really like a button box of some sort, but the budget is not there yet.
Budget isn't there for any motion or haptics right now either. Although I do have a Logitech 5.1 surround.
I use mountain biking gloves. Really like them because the backing is breathable, the palm has some comfort passing, and they fit amazing. Got them on sale too! As for shoes, I use a pair of Nike runners that have an almost gum rubber sole. I don't drive a real vehicle without shoes, I can't do a sim rig without them either.
Currently I use a wheel stand, so my chair is adjustable. If/when I get a legitimate frame rig, that's when I can figure out the sitting position.
Channel is a breath of fresh air, totally dig the content. Keep going 💪
Appreciate it! That’s super nice to say.
I like this dude, he comes across as really genuine.
Hey! First of all thanks for the great content and the info that you’re sharing!! 👍🏻👍🏻 And second, what are your thoughts on a dashboard or displays that connects to the wheelbase?
Thanks so much. I’m also very curious myself. I will have one installed very shortly.
Sim3d Pedal and Seat Rumble Motor Kits. The pedal kits are cool, and used them without the seat addon, but once i got the seat addon setup, it just changed everything. Speaker setups, buttkickers, whatever you can do, the feedback to the seat just changes the entire feeling. Cheap or expensive kits or addons, youll love the feelings
Absolutely
Great video Dan keep them comin !
Thanks! Will do!
I have the tensionr from pt actuator. It is a active seatbelt and you cant drive without if you start using it. I also have windsim and 7 bass shakers, all nice but the seatbelts are by far the best.
Awesome stuff in this video 🔥
Thank you
Great video! Could you explain how you make that quick pitstop adjustments? Like no tires. All tires. Fuel etc?
If you, Google iRacing, PitStop commands, you can assign them to your stream deck via a key function. You can also assign it to a button box.
Man, now you're making me want to add a shaft of my own to my Simucube/GSI order. It seems way too fun to have a shaft then to not have a shaft.
The shaft is life lol
@@danielmorad 😂😂
Good stuff! Since you have triples, I would add the DisplayMagician app, which fixed all the NV Surround issues I was having and makes booting up the sim a 1 click operation.
How much time do you get on the rig in a week? It would be cool to see a video of how you approach practicing, like what skills you try to focus on, any drills you might do, how much time you spend, etc.
I don’t use surround. I’m using window mode. In terms of how much time I have, this past month, I’ve only spent around 3 to 4 hours in the rig. I’ve been too busy in real life with Racing. Join us on the stream and you can see how I prepare. It’s really nice to see live.
Thanks! Yeah that sounds cool, I'll check it out!
Hey, great conent man, keep it up! Earned a new subscriber.
I saw that you mainly drive in IRacing. Is there any particular reason to choose it over ACC, which is know to be the king of GT sim racing?
Thanks so much. The reason I don’t drive on ACC is because the breaking model is very far off of reality. At least in iRacing, you need to use a very similar braking technique so it’s more natural for me and also doesn’t promote bad habits when I go into the real car, I explain this in my braking video
Great content. And look at that Sonoma in car ;) found myself looking the studio background for an SRO trophy :)
I liked your gear recommendations and all seem very valuable and effective. I’d love to add motion to my sim but unsure how I could with having essentially a full half car cage for immersion. Would be a large setup. Question: are you running immersive lighting such as Philips? I am always curious to see how drivers run their setups… in lit room or darkness etc. I found outside distractions tough for concentration hence why I built the enclosure.
Thanks a lot. I don’t have the lighting set up yet but it’s more revolved around stream interaction.
Recently got my Pimax 8KX and nothing beats VR with proper FOV in terms of immersion, but I don't have access to a race-car and it's the closed thing I can get. Otherwise 6 DOF G-Seat and G-Belt with 7 shakers, SC2 Pro with HE Ultimates and other nice stuff. I switched from socks to beach shoes lately and the Buttkickers are strong enough vibrating through the thin sole, but socks with rubber-padding sounds like a nice alternative and now I got used to the grip. Otherwise I prefer finger-free bicycle gloves to type without taking them off and my goto-sim is rF2, which is both a sim and a game, since there are no real consequences if messing up. Even soccer is called a game despite the common injuries and one tip: lubricate your base-side QR a bit and the wheel will come right off for quite some time.
I do like VR. The performance just isn’t good enough at some tracks to get enough FPS.
@@danielmorad The performance should be more than good enough with your PC or it's iRacing. But with OpenXR I guess all tracks run rock solid 90 fps at least, probably even 120 while the GPU is half asleep. OpenXR also provides optional fixed foveated rendering, which means it blurs the image in the peripheral vision for another performance gain. With my 4080 I can run 4 times 4k resolution with 90 fps in AMS2, AC and rF2. I've reduced it to 3 times 4k to get really solid 90 fps in every circumstance (so far).
Hey @Daniel Morad loving my gloves and have a question? Can you link or tell me where you got your original wheel extension with the one you added stickers too? I'm having trouble getting one for my SC2 Pro that size that goes thin in the centre if that makes sense. The simlabs one is too thick for my plans but your looks perfect so any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers mate
Have you tried VR? what do you think about it?
VR is amazing, the depth perception is very real
I started racing online in VR. It was awesome to connect me from the real world into the same. The depth perception is amazing but the performance and consistency of FPS is not great right now.
You should look into the Track IR kit which tracks your eye movements and move the screen as you move your eyes/head. The videos of them in use look very cool.
Thought about it but I think VR would just be better.
Track IR also. I’m sick with VR. Track IR let you see your rig, button boxes and Streamdeck. Track IR + triple screen is a must have. As far as I am concerned, of course. Thanks for your vids.
Hey Daniel,
I really like how you push my expectation of how professional and though out somebody can get in SimRacing. I will have a look at your socks tho ;-)
Keep on Pushing.
Greetings from Germany
Thanks so much!! :)
Can’t live without the shaft, hey? ;) enjoying the videos, thanks man!
Hey Dan, love the videos. I looked at the link you put for the extension shaft but yours looks a bit longer in the video . What length is your extension or is it the same?
It only looks that way because I have the Simucube mount as well. I will have updated links very shortly. I am getting stuff direct from simcore.
Ok so I went to your website and bought me some Gloves and a sock pack, have been putting it off for a while now and this vid made the purchase make sense, thank you Daniel. I do however, draw the line at motion, I have spent a bunch of money on my rig over the last 4 years but that purchase would be like buying half of my entire rig again so at this stage I will stick to the Buttkicker. I also bought a button box so you did well :)
That next step can be quite an expensive investment. It is a lot of fun, but you’ll be in really good shape with your buttkicker.
With regards to the extension shaft, there is talk on the Simucube forums, even from one of the guys working at Simucube, that they can cause premature wear of the motor bearings due to the extra leverage, leading to increased force on the bearings. That said there are a lot of people who have used extension shafts for a long time without any apparent problems.
With regards to gloves I just use good quality cycling gloves (Endura MT500 D30 in my case) as these are designed for long term regular hard use. I've bought so called "Sim Racing Gloves" in the past and they've just fallen apart after 20 hours use.
Great informative video as always.
Thanks for all the information. In terms of gloves, you’ve had the same issue I had. That’s why we went out and made our own that are much more durable. We’ve had customers that have use their gloves for over two years now. Every case is different and every users different but for me, I’ve personally never had any issues, and I know our customers are super satisfy based on the reviews.
@@danielmorad What about the gloves that you use in real racing gt3 ? Why not using those ?
For me must haves are: A 'Skookum' PC; a 65 inch monitor/TV; a sim rig (I have 2 - Playseat Evo and a Playseat Formula Pro- Red); and a servo base with wheel rim; thanks eh for posting Bud!
Great video! ❤
Thanks so much
Where did you get those socks from? I've been learning so much from you. I feel like you're the perfect medium to learn because you're a professional real racecar driver, so your knowledge and feedback is top. As far as accessories for immersion, I would check out Apex sim racing. They make these amazing carbon fiber dashboards with all kinds of buttons, toggles, funky switches besides the ton of use you get for me it makes your rig go to the next level. Also Sim racing addict makes really nice Ddus. I personally have the DDU6, also replica Racelogic lap times, replica Lumirank and I have a smart flag on each side of my upright profiles just for a little extra bling bling.
Check out the description. The links are all there. :)
@@danielmorad you’re the man!
:
Congrats Daniel. I wait your detailed FOV setup for ACC and maybe Simucube FFB settings in True Drive
I don’t believe I will do one for ACC in the near future but I will have one for iRacing. I have wheel force feedback settings coming in the next video.
I have some of the best Simucube 2 pro settings for ACC . Just search for " Realistic ACC by SKY " in true drive and give it a go 👍
3:05 hey man, first off, love the videos and love your gloves. I had a question about the mounts you’re using for both the XL and standard stream decks. What are you using to mount them to the sim rig?
Additionally, I see you’re iRacing only and you’ve stated that you find it’s braking more realistic to real driving when compared to ACC. Care to share more light on that? Maybe even video content? Anyways, watched your NOLA race and a shame that your other driver got spun after the hard work both of you put in.
I am going to be using simcore ones. They just sent me a bunch of mounts and they’re amazing.
Damn Daniel another great one
Thanks!!
@@danielmorad nice you take the time to answer a lot of comments, keep grinding grow will / is coming 💪
Great info. Is the exact shaft you are holding in the video a modified Simcore (linked in description)? The one you are holding appears to be flanged on both sides vs the Simcore which uses a drive clamp.
The one I am currently using is a little different. It clamps right onto the motor. It’s a more sturdy solution in my opinion.
@@danielmorad Makes sense. I’m running a VRS Direct Force Pro and will likely pick up the SimCore UH1. The shaft you were holding caught my eye because it would bolt up to my current QR and it was one I had not seen before. Thanks for the quick response… especially on a 9mo old video.
i would add a wind simulator and a belt tensioner on top of haptic solution . Do you use an existing preset for the stream deck?
Thanks for the suggestions. I made everything myself in terms of stream deck, layout.
@@danielmorad Good video thanks. Do you share your stream deck profile?
I love my shaft too 😊
😂
Great insight, I'm interested to see what you have on your stream deck. I don't have one, I haven't seen the need for it. But you sparked my interest. Any chance you can show us whats on yours ?
Join in on some live streams and I can share the whole thing :)
Even padded socks don’t give me enough protection with a nice stiff load cell brake pedal. I have been very happy using water shoes. They are thin enough to give you good feel but give you enough protection.
Also, I could never go back to triple monitors after racing in a good VR headset.
As a professional driver, you input means a lot to the average sim racers and people that have been struggling to find the right setup for themselves. Personally for me, i have been chasing the numbers since around 2018 to find the right setup for my rig and i still find myself making adjustments every few months. In your seating video, you mentioned the angle of your seat and wheel base. In this video, you mentioned your monitor distance. I would like to ask, what is the angle your monitors are set at, and also, what is the angle of your pedal deck?
For the average person like myself and im sure many many others chasing the correct setup, have you considered making a "this is my rig setup" style video? A video with all in one showing angles, measurements, distances of your rig. As well as in game view settings, wheel settings and possibly your wheel base settings. This would greatly help many that chase the dream of being in a real race car, but in reality, a sim rig will be the closest thing ever. Your input as a real race car driver is extremely valuable and i personally thank you for the information that i have seen from you so far and am excited to see what you continue to produce when you have the time.
I’m so happy that my input has helped out. That’s a great idea as well for a video. I have a few so far that you can check out in terms of the way I have everything set up, but I will work on more for the future.
I use gloves because my hands get calluses from gripping the wheel and the handles Rubbing on my hands, etc.
The weird thing I that I tried regular mountain biking gloves and they were too thin. I put on my mountain biking gloves that have the gel pads in them and its perfect. I can ease up on my grip, but the gel pads somehow make it so the glove isn't slipping around on my hands which negates the calluses. Unexpected, but works awesome.
That’s exactly why I use Moradness Gloves
Pretty sure I’m in the background at 6:15 that’s Sonoma turn 2. Can’t tell if that was Saturday or Sunday though. Great videos though!
I believe that’s from Friday haha. Hope you had a nice weekend.
Could you do a video where you go into programming and setting up your streamdeck please? I'm looking at getting one and not sure how it all works. Love your vids, i am now a subscriber. Just getting back into sim racing after 6 years away.
I have a bunch of preset buttons that you can download from a pack on my Discord. I actually use it as directing pad for my stream. I now have the PSP button box to control iRacing functions.
Thanks for the support. Looking forward to seeing you around.
Thanks for the great content! I have a dbox setup as well - can you provide recommended setup? Perhaps that is worth a new video ❤
I will be posting a TH-cam short about my settings shortly
@@danielmorad also which sim games do you race? I only race in VR and ams2 is my go to and wondering if you have tried that.
you want a recommendation of something to add.... a fan..... more specific a nut fan..... it helps keep you cooler. they are the best. PS awesome job at sonoma race!! congrats!
That’s a great idea. That will be installed soon. Lol.
@@danielmorad I have SRS ducted fans pointed at my arm pits. Really huge win during long stints and enhances the sense of speed.
Big fan of the gloves! Ive got 2 pairs
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on FOV. I agree that there are some wide-spread misconceptions about it.
I will try my best to explain how I set mine up
@@danielmorad awesome!
What about wind simulation? I'm thinking about adding it for a little more immersion, especially wjen using VR. I'm hoping to get a little more sense of speed with it...
What did you do to attach the Asus strips to the screen? Stick to the bezels, or to the screen directly? What did you stick it with?
Thank you Daniel, keep rocking! 🏎️
I used double sided tape. Very very thin, transparent, double-sided, tape on the edges and taped it directly to the monitor.
Love the wheel extender. Who makes the one in your video?
The one I am currently using right now is from Simcore
Thanks
If you use headphones I found a large difference from having headphones with haptics built in. It sounds like it would be weird but somehow having your head also feel the vibrations makes it an overall more immersive experience. I even had some friends ask if the whole rig and chair had bass shakers.
I do have a 4 corner bass shaker set up now. I still find the headphones make a noticeable difference to my overall level of immersion.
I actually owned a few pair of your socks and they are definitely 1 of those things that i cant jump on the rig without. By the way, and plans to make the glovers more breathable? I used to use karting gloves but i find them to hot/warm. Using the Freem sim racing gloves now but they are really pricey. And yes FOV video please. Would love to hear you talk about FOV from a real drivers perspective.
That’s epic man. Thank you. And I’ll get to it for sure
Sooooo many poor sim racing channels. This guy I trust. Thank you.
4 - 12 hours a day sim racing?! Who are these maniacs
Yes they are 😂
Your gloves and socks are the best I've used! I want to buy more, any discount codes?
That’s awesome!!! Well there’s the newsletter code or you can even use a sub code if you’re a subscriber on my twitch channel to get 10% off. My best advice is to check out the “Rad Offers” on the website for some epic deals on bundles and you can save big time.
First i thought „omg, now I will see 5 things i don’t see the need of using“. Ok, so i use Asus Bezel Kit with my triple 32‘. I also use a Stream Deck. I use Bass-Shaker on my Sparco seat. And i wear thin gloves. And i use a long shaft to get anything setup in the right distance (my VRS Base is mounted behind the screen and the shaft gets me the right distance) 😉👍
Hahaha you have it all. There you go!
I don’t “say” anything to my opponents I just blast “move bitch” over voice chat while watching 2 fast 2 furious on a fourth screen in the middle of a tight ass turn while smoking a cigar, wearing them thug life glasses and overtaking 2 cars at once.
😎
Man, that was a great dream. Uhh, what day is it?
Haha nice. Enjoy it. It’s Tuesday I think 😂
@@danielmorad Hahahaha :D What a guy, ACTUALLY told me what day it was. Dude you're alright :) Greetings from Canada :)
Hello Daniel. Could you give me more information on how you attached your Bezel kit to your 32" monitor please.
see through double sided tape I think he said in the video
I have attached the tape in the description. I can perhaps shoot a video to show you how I connected it but it’s very easy.
The shaft. I need that simple so i can get the upright beams in a good place to fit the motion actuators where i want them. Brilliant idea. Link?????
Everything is in the description
We are big fans of yours & keep up with your real life driving as well in the Merc. Nice 2nd place overall at Sonoma!
Thanks for all the helpful videos! Hope to see ya on track 🤙🏽
Thanks so much!
@@danielmorad Thank you. Really looking forward to the FOV video because we are in the minority on what is actually accurate. Cheers Daniel
I wear karting gloves with silicone grips and they're a game changer. I drove without gloves at first and the blisters were awful
100% :) that’s why we made our own gloves. I needed to wear them so I made my own
Hello. Thank you for the video. but most importantly, you missed a simulator without VR is not a simulator. VR is the most immersive device. in VR you are in the cockpit of a car. And behind the monitors you just sit in the room. 😎
I agree that VR is nice. Just performance isn’t good enough. Some tracks you get 30fps haha
@@danielmorad If you refer to iRacing - problems with stutters in VR are much better now, even the newer tracks like Magy Cours (last chicane) run with constantly 90fps in my Reverb G2 (4800x4800res. per eye in online races).
Sebring at night was awesome, as the lights next to the track limits felt like little laser points at the right angle (comparable to the runway lights of an airport), depth perception/immersion is on another level.
But tons of settings still are required, that hast to be said.
But you could shave some weight off the Rig, as wheels with displays or other devices are not that important any longer. 8)
Might have to give it another try.
I’m currently running 4 bass shakers how is the Dbox do you feel it’s worth the step up?
Hey Daniel, can you tell me which triple monitor stand you are using? Looks like they attached to the rig but just want to confirm as I will be purchasing 3x32 as well.
Monitor stand is in the discription
@@timo6033 thanks
They’re separated :). Link in description :)
where did I get the Daytona Gloves cam a watch freak since Ive seen it I want it !!
I definitely would not have expected SOCKS as a top 5 sim racing MUST HAVE accessory 😂
It really is. It’s something that I didn’t think I needed until, but once you have them, you can’t drive without them
Hey Dan with you monitors at 71cm away i have found they are 1800r whats your monitor angle and fov now.
Im have 32ich curved 1500r at 73cm away and 47 deg or 133deg how ever you like to express it and set at 3 flats it comes to be 150 FOV
I think it’s around 62°. I change it around a little bit now. It’s a little closer since I’ve changed my rig.
I've grown accustom to using the Steelseries Arctis 7 chat wheel function. Super helpful to have the mixer dial on the headset when you're trying to concentrate and team mates in discord are being a bit chatty.
I'm not sure if there are other headsets have a similar functions.
The stream deck has functions for mixing as well, but not always as quick and handy.
If you want to get super fancy, you can also get a Korg nanoKontrol2 midi mixer and pair it with software to mix your audio on the fly.
I know this is an older video, but one nit picky thing about the audio mix, and this a common gripe I have. The music mix is way too loud compared to the other audio. The music itself is already pretty loud on it's own and would need to be brought down a lot to even out the audio. Using a LUFS plugin to monitor the loudness levels could help get a more consistent mix across the audio - the audience won't have to adjust the volume throughout the video.
Nice info on this stuff. Thanks.
It was all fixed up for the future
I tried the bezel free kit - didn't like them because the vertically offset the monitor images making things look off.
It could be that you didn’t set it up correctly. Mine seems great.
@@danielmorad I tried everything. Have curved monitors, so that may be the difference.
I wonder if you tried a hexapod to feel g-forces, specially the weight of the body, with a surge back and pitch forward, this lifting from the seat when braking, it gives so much more life to the braking pedal, or some lateral acceleration when cornering, with sway, not to mention traction loss with yaw, which the D-Box cannot simulate.
Last not least, I have a bass-shaker under my pedals, to inform me about ABS, wheel slip or black on the brake pedal, I really cannot do without this cheap addition with simhub
I really don’t like when motion rigs move too much. That’s why I love the DBOX. it’s subtle.
@@danielmorad Yes, with a hexapod, there is more motion to generate modest gforces, you need to have the monitors on the motion rig, and even draken or close the surroundings to avoid rolling wall/ceiling motion in the background. There may be more intense occasional false cues with very fast cars on short curvy tracks, with a lot of hard acceleration and hard braking.
But for the price of 10K, to me, the DBox is too little, too limited, it is still only 3DOF, and I really don't like their false advertisement,
there is no way a pitch, roll, heave can simulate traction loss, which after all is a most important feature.
I tried the Electra X2 Extreme, 80k ?, apparently used by professionnals, a seat mover with traction loss, very brutal with a lot of motion, but constant false cues on the braking.
So a hexapod for the price of a DBox tuned to the right amount of motion was my best choice, after testing them all.
I added a CamelBak drinks bag for the endurance races
That’s smart
1. VR / 2. Motion Rig (3Motion from Tracktime. Much better than D-Box) / 3. DD Wheel / 4. SimVibe with 4 Bass Speakers / 5. Rumble Effekt an my Heuskinvel Ultmiate+ (Gloves and racing shoes)
Epic. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait for your FOV video, nothing more controversial imo 🤓😅
Absolutely. It’s so subjective, but at least I can share my feedback on it.
Does my wife back seat giggling as I spin out count? :) I am definitely gonna have to look at the bezel free kits! Thx! I also really like to have the buttons because I hate having to reach for the keyboard behind the wheel for the extras.
You want to drive in my sim you have to fit in it.
I taped baked bean cans to my daughter’s shoes so she could reach the pedals. She done good 😊
EDIT sorry I actually taped the cans on to the pedals
Then you know what it takes. Lol.
QUESTION havent seen you play ACC have you tried it specially lfm pro league or sro? or you didn't like it?
I don’t play it because I don’t find that it’s realistic or helping me in anyway.
Shafts and socks... Critical members of any gaming nerds life 😂
100% man. You can’t live without the stuff.
I can't live without the shaft either. I have never used on on a sim rig, though.
It's called sim not game. Some whom don't agree, some people can't afford to actually race due to physical, financial or mental reasons. From someone whom has raced in a real car and wants to get back into one again. Racing online is the closes one can get, if they race with other people whom look at it like a sim as well. I've raced with people whom think of it as a game, and it is frustrating and annoying at times when you get wrecked by someone whom just doesn't care. But you get that everywhere anyway. But if you are into motorsport but can't actually race a car, go to a hire kart place and some actually have a race night for those whom want to race. Then also race online after that and see if you think if it is a sim or a game.
I treat it seriously but also remember to have fun :)
