To give a small advice. Try to brake at the treshold of the ABS. It's a bit bugged in iRacing with the ABS. It's faster if you do not trigger it :)
Noted, appreciate the advice :)
I'm interested to know in real life do the drivers lean hard on the ABS or try to not trigger it too much?
@@CapyRace they smash the ABS IRL mate
I agree and also bringing the brake bias a little more forward helps the 488 GT3 not be as twitchy
It's not bugged- triggering ABS In iracing, just as it is in reality, only happens after you start to lock up. Hence the mini lock ups when you ride ABS in this game - again same as reality.
But the message stands- even with abs, brake as if you had no abs. It's just here as safety.
cant wait for the opinion on ACC, especially being able to race as yourself xD Keep it up mate, really enjoying your view on things! 😊 ❤️
Me, too! Eagerly awaiting an ACC vid.
Well, David consulted with them a bit on ACC so not sure what you should expect. I do like the feeling of weight in the cars on ACC myself though.
Hey I follow you on twitter!!
@@harryeyre1322 Thank you!
When are you coming to iracing wolf? (the crab84)
You don't know how long I've waited for you to start iracing! Fab vid. Bathurst is such a good track too
Hope you enjoyed it mate, thank you
9:26 you can force your game back to full screen by pressing alt + enter David!
Good luck in the game Dave, and on the track!
looks great! Love seeing you here!
super glad i found your channel. I really enjoy your Onboard Story uploads and you make some great points in this video about iracing.
Thank you Caleb!
This is great to watch! To see you compare how the car actually handles to the car in-game shows that not everything is perfect in iRacing. Great video David, keep it up!
Yea mate, iRacing is really good but definitely not perfect. I do enjoy it though.
I just bought it yesterday, looking forward to racing with dirty dave. Lol
Always find value in your video's. Thanks again for your time and insight, from a man in Japan.
Much appreciated Gary. Hope you’re enjoying Japan, it’s my favorite motorsport country.
Very happy to see you uploading iRacing videos. Thank you.
Thanks for your support Steve
Max verstappen said his favorite sim is rfactor 2, take that as you will 😁
That’s awesome 💃🏼
rF2 has the best tire model and the ffb is great, so if the cars and tracks are well developed, it's the best experience. It's also a DIY sim, so not every piece of content is quality... I'd say about a 3rd of the content is actually good.
@@belevezero2279 Pretty much everything paid or officia (Studio 397)l is good (GT3 DLCs, Endurance Pack, the new laser-scanned Nürbrugring, Le Mans, free Tatuus pack, ....).
rFactor 2 is also the favourite of F1 teams in terms of simulators. So it's no surprise.
@@Accelr8r rFactor 2 also has private servers with passwords that most of the leagues use, however, iRacing's competition system is still way better.
Great video David hopefully see you in a race on iracing some day
Great video, Dave! Looking forward to your comparison with ACC.
Thanks, liked the review. See you soon in IRacing. 🇿🇦
The 488 was undriveable for me until I set the brake bias way forward
Interested to see you play ACC as well👍
Waiting for that ACC review patiently!
The only thing i'd really like to get iRacing for is for one of the 24 Hour events. Maybe Spa or Nurburgring. I think it would be a blast to compete in.
There are many leagues you can run these in if you don't want to wait for official
I sim race since Micropose Grandprix 1, Iracing made me a better driver in 3 months this year just by forcing track limits, you need to start driving much more realistic, and all do you also have accidents in Turn 1 with I racing the clean racing is on a diffrent level then any othe sim because of license system. If you like to race online agains people, there is no better sim then Iracing
I've done 24hr of Spa, Daytona road course and Nurburgring a few times in iRacing and it was fantastic. I also recommend not trying to stay awake for that whole 24 hr duration lol or consuming many cans of beer in your down time after first stints and then being called in to do a stint when someone cant make it later on :P is a challenge and a half
Its better than awesome, I've done Sebring, Bathurst, LeMans and Daytona and there's really nothing like you and 2 other guys sharing a car for 24 hours and crossing that line as a team.. It's amazing really is
That's how we all start ;)
I like iRacing because I get the opportunity to race with some of my favorite drivers. Hope to see you in a race!
Feeling immensely proud that I was lapping bathurst in around the same time during last week's events 😂 looking forward to more iracing content I'm a recent convert after years playing gran turismo and I'm absolutely hooked
Good man!
Can't wait for ACC videos from you Dave!
awesome seeing u in iRacing, keep it coming
Much appreciated Martin
Dave thanks for the review of iRacing. Was curious about your thoughts on it. If you have trouble with the window not going full screen hit "Alt+Enter" on your keyboard.
Question - In terms of feeling oversteer or understeer through the steering rack of a real car, can you actually feel that or is it more in your seat? I noticed the amount of FFB doesn't really change in a corner if you're oversteering or understeering where as in ACC it gives a different sensation. Not sure what is more "realistic" as I've never driven a real racecar around a track before! Thanks!
In real life we feel a lot through the wheel itself, especially understeer whereas oversteer is mostly felt through the seat :)
Thanks for another great video. I can absolutely recommend the Fanatec v3 pedals if you want a pedal set with a load cell for braking. I find them absolutely wonderful to use. They are very easy to maintain, they are rock solid and they are very easy to adjust to your liking with different springs and foam buffers. Different pedals surfaced are also available.
I do own a set of Fanatec V3’s :) but these days I’m an official Thrustmaster driver so I use there kit. Buuuuttt I am trying to convince them to consider some new pedals!
Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but to get iRacing full screen (or any program) you can use alt + enter keys. Hope this helps!
I like your unbiased opinions. Thanks, hope to see you in iracing more.
Cheers Ryan 🤘
Hey David! Great video! I'm a bit new to the channel but have been enjoying everything so far! I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but to solve the taskbar issue you had, you just have to press Alt+Enter and it will go back to full screen. I had the same issue. Hope this helps, looking forward to the ACC content!
Thanks for the advice Mark! And thank you for leaving a comment too 🙏
What's your advice/suggestions for beginners sim racing in terms of practice and equipment?
I currently use a G29, but without a rig, just a simple chair, table setup
And what do you suggest on how to learn to drive without assists
Good to see you're going to be mixing things up now David, coming from an iRacing and ACC racer 👍
Thanks Alex 👊
A load cell brake is almost essential. After 8 years of iracing without one I recently got the V3’s and the difference is huge in terms of control, consistency and also faster lap times.
I’m sure you would get even more out of them than someone like me!
I have a set of V3’s but have recently become a Thrustmaster ambassador so I want to help them make a good set of pedals one day.
@@DavidPerel god I wish thrustmaster would make some higher end stuff. I absolutely refuse to buy fanatec stuff due to their business practices and continuing to hike up prices with the same items. Its pathetic and a monopoly at best.
I’m pretty sure they’re working on some new stuff mate 😁
Silverstone just got updated a couple weeks ago actually.
- BTW If you want to use the screen in the cockpit for the rear view you have to up the number of mirrors in the graphics settings :)
Driving iRacing for 3 Years now. I can definately understand your complaint about the understeer effect or it not beeing there in your FFB. Over the years I tried many Wheels and Wheel Setups (eg. Fanatec Wheelbase Setups) and its somewhat of a hit and miss for me. I tried a Fanatec Podium last weekend and played around with 4 Setups for that which i got from friends. Every sinlge one was totally different to drive. Still i have not found "the one".
Nice video @david perel :-) But look so much forward to see you try ACC and let us know your opinion on their new tyre model and all the other refinements.
Great job mate :)
And about snap oversteer and irl. That series have fix setup, and that all you need to know) cuz driving fix setup and with good setup - that 2 different cars)
Slipstream in iR, work 0.0-0.9sec gap give x2 effect, 1.0-1.9 sec x1(close to real), with 2+ sec gap slipstream feels only at ovals)
About braking, Kert137 say. it true. Keep in mind - braking in floor, warm tyres and after hard brake section you can get unbelievable understeer.
Gl in races!) Will be wait more iR races, except ferrari fix series)))
Hi, Dave! You have a few choices when it comes to load cell if you want one on PC...
Now, you can use any brand of brakes with your Thrustmaster wheel, you'll just need to plug them directly to the PC with USB rather than to the wheelbase. If you prefer to stick with the Thrustmaster ecosystem, look up the Ricmotech load cell brake mod for Thrustmaster pedals. I installed that into my T3PA-Pro set and I love the heck out of it. Works flawless on PC where you can tweak your dead zones on whatnot, however small heads up on PS4 you have to press fairly hard to get 100% brakes. If you're in a fixed rig or cockpit that's no problem though.
Cheers and thanks for the video!
Appreciate the advice r0q, I am a Thrustmaster driver so I will stick with their kit but will definitely look at some loadcell options that I can bolt on.
hey dave cant wait for the acc content. watching u driving as u in rinaldi ferrari.
3:40 have you ever tried irFFB? It gives you a lot of options to alter the standard FFB that comes with the game. Tried it once, never went back. Depending on your setup, it can even be feasable to switch from 60 Hz to 360 Hz and accept some delay (which you may have on some monitors / tv screens) anyway. You can even set suspension and wheel force independently, i.e. you can feel a lot more road details.
yes try irffb, it s a world far from the ffb of iracing without it and gran turismo too...
And the PC has finally arrived! Looking forward to an ACC video and... maybe... meeting you on track?
Maybe;)
i got iracing three days ago, i got out of rookie pretty quick and now i got all the stuff you need for the ferrarri fixed series, its a very good sim, i think the handling makes alot of sense, i agree with you on pretty much every thing,
the UI sucks, the FFB is not that good, quite numb, but man i love this game hahaha it gets most of the main things right and that is enough for me. btw the snap overseer on the ferrari, i found out
that if you just adjust the brake bias more to the front, it really helps eliminate that at least on the brakes, it worked for me.
Proud of you Dave.
Proud of you Tucker
I found out that on ferrari fixed after increasing brake bias by a couple of percent that snap oversteer when breaking disappears. Did you try that?
You should try raceroom. Probably my favourite SIM. I also enjoy project cars 2. Both worth a try
Awesome start buddy def going to be subscribing and I love the fact your already using a wheel cam great job I agree with the ffb on iracing and about 80 percent of others feel the same way so no worries but you probabaly really really like assetto corsa then
Iv'e always wanted to try iRacing but iv'e never had a good enough PC , so did you say there's only selected tracks you can race on per week ? and roughly once you have a good pc whats the cost of iRacing ? cheers Dave.
David Perel little heads up, you can get a load cell for Tue thrustmaster pedals. Just google thrustmaster load cell mod.
Richmotech make them
I use IRFFB in conjunction with iRacing. The extra feeling in the wheel is amazing .... to me. Great Vid
I will be trying irFFB soon
@David you can try irFFB. It's a tool to give iRacing better force feedback by using telemetry data
Hell yeah... I hope I get to race you.
Ill start with iRacing tomorrow probably. Maybe ill see you on the track some day. Have fun !
Not until November mate as I’ll be on the road from today.
Now you're about to start playing ACC (my current poison of choice) time to sub :)
Welcome to the channel, officially 😎
The problem with your fullscreen (or lack there of): If you actually have the fullscreen setting checked, and you click out of the window (say on another monitor), it will make it windowed again. Just press Alt+Enter to get it back into fullscreen.
Oh and I'm not sure if you are aware, but iRacing's tracks are laser scanned. In order for them to update their "rendering" as you call it, they would need to go back to the track and re-scan it. This takes a lot of time and resources (including *money* ). If they do go to re-scan a track, and you own the old one, you will usually get the new version.
I am aware of the laser scanning. Most modern sims do it these days. However given how much we pay to play this game, especially compared to other racing games, I’m surprised they take years to be updated.
@@DavidPerel To be fair, it takes a lot of time for them to go out and do that. They need to get permission from the track, and actually get their equipment out there, etc.. I've learned from the time I've been on iRacing, that they like to make everything work as well as they can.
Just make sure your ffb settings are the correct combination for your wheel.
I had the worst time my first month of iRacing untill I found some ffb settings online. It was like night and day, and it drasticly improved my experience.
Regarding the 488 GT3 snap oversteer, i noticed that your brake bias is set to the default 52.4%. I find that shifting this forwards to around 56-57 seems to just about completely remove it. Fortunately it can be changed in the fixed setup but from the in car adjustments menu!
Are you using the conical brake mod that came with the T-GT ?
Not to be a broken record like many of us rFactor 2 fanboys, but I would love to see what you think of it. The tyre model and FFB are works of art, and many GT teams run rFactor Pro as their in-house sim. Hope you get to try it out soon, David! (They don't have an official 488 though, sadly).
I gave rFactor a try earlier this week, it's fun! I couldn't say it's better or worse than iRacing or ACC though. They all have their good and bad points.
Awesome! Glad you gave it a shot. Guessing it was with the newer GT3 cars and laser scanned tracks? Their launch content quality is a bit spotty, but the newer stuff is much better.
Agree about the force feedback in iracing
do you have a ps4? how about trying driveclub on harcore handling, its not exactly a simulator but i want to know what you think of the 488 in there
hey david, just a couple tips that might help: try looking into IRFFB(you can try it without vjoy or installing extra stuff), it could be used to add road texture and extra kerbing as adds extra damper ffb to iracing, i think it even has an experimental understeer ffb option kinda like ac understeer effect.
also make sure the brake factor is set to your liking, just move it around press the brake and see how the red bar progresses until you find the right setting for you. i race regularly with a g29 and always had to put extra work into making braking work better for me (some brake sensitive cars, like the porsche cup, were pretty much undrivable if not setting the brake factor to my liking).
regarding ffb i do think in some cars is pretty shit, mazdas and gt3 cars have pretty shitty feedback, not that they handle bad just that its pretty vague compared to the new porsche rsr for example where with it i can judge oversteer/understeer with more precision.
cheers and thanks for your video, i hope we race each other in the virtual world one day!
ps: try the f3
Thanks for the input mate. I am also going to download irFFB at some point to give that a try :)
You mentioned you think GT has best feeling of understeer, do you feel wheel lighten on GTS with T-GT as car understeers?
In GTS you can feel the tire scrubbing across the surface, like we do in real life
Can't wait for the Competizione video! I really enjoy it
Raceroom is by far my favourite sim, would be awesome if you checked it out
same here! the force feedback in RaceRoom is amazing! the understeer feedback is great if you dial it in - it has slip understeer where the wheel judders as the tires struggle for grip.
It's nice but it's missing a proper license system to prevent races ending up in crash derby's, that the problem with all other sims, no problem for the people that like to race against AI but for online racing you need a Iracing like license system, i think ( ;
@@yerrie1908 True for open lobbies. The good racing all happens in communities and leagues, of which there are plenty, but that's often too big a hurdle for folks.
@@yerrie1908 if racing publicly sure. there's noobs and rammers everywhere. however, if you join a club that runs its own servers and promotes good race craft then the need for a license goes away.
I race with RWB International. check us out on youtube! ;)
@@cHackz18 involves planning races, doesn't suit my lifestyle ( ;
I agree with some of the stuff you say, and was really surprised by GT sport FFB, especially after all the bad reviews when it 1st come out. I wish they released it on PC, as I have sold my PS4 and now sim race in my pC
I think GT will always be exclusive to PS4. But in the end it’s not the *best* sim but it is underestimated by purists.
Did you notice, that cars with old tyre model (Ferrari included), are fastest straight out of the pits? The best option for fast qualy is to crawl through the out lap and go fast for a flyer. The difference doing it this way versus fast out lap is huge. :)
Yea it’s crazy. I wonder why they haven’t fixed that bug before. It’s been there forever 🤦♂️
@@DavidPerel yeah, bothers me so much. I can't wait till they update all the cars to new tyre model. I bought the membership again to try the TCR and its pretty fun. :)
The fixed setups suck. Good to see you getting a PC, Dave! Can't wait for the ACC videos. Just in time as well since we are getting a big update very soon. I'm hooked trying to do decent laps in Silverstone for the upcoming McLaren Shadow competition but I'm stuck at the 2:02 mark :).
Quick tip: I found that lowering the FFB in iRacing below to what I'm accustomed to helped me quite a lot.
Why don’t you like the fixed setups mate? I think they’re good because it gives people an opportunity to focus on driving, especially those who don’t have so much free time to master a good setup.
@@DavidPerel oh! Don't get me wrong, I agree with you on that! But i've found that in most tracks they tend to suffer from that snap oversteer you talked about, and with custom setups the car doesn't seem to snap that much. Having raced the 488 GT3 in many sims, I found that the Ferrari Fixed is the most unpredictable during stress. A corner where this difference is clear to me is Pouhon in Spa. I don't wanna blame the car completely as I'm not the greatest driver but I've had the back snap under very light braking only when running the Ferrari Fixed in that circuit.
Hey david, are you going to be in mugello for the ferrari challenge world finals this weekend? Just curious knowing you race 488
If your task bar is stuck, open up task manager and find the explorer process. There will be an option to restart explorer. Do that. It will immediately fix that specific issue of a task bar that won't hide in full screen or windowed full screen.
Also, I've been running Mt Panorama 3 hours a day for the past 2 weeks, in Supercar series on F7, just to finally break 2:10 once. I dont plan to stop. This track has improved my times and race quality on the endurance gt lobbypurely due to my consistency getting better.
Good Job on five lap time Doc!
This is a great review of iRacing.
The snap-oversteer on braking, especially in the GT3 cars and IndyCars drives me nuts. Any suggestion on how to make that less prevalent? It's one of the strange nuances of iRacing that I dread and I don't find that same issue on rFactor 2 at all.
Stiffen the rear anti-rollbar and move your brake balance to the front
Great vid. Interesting to hear about the snap oversteer being unrealistic. I like driving this car in iRacing as it's just so smooth. Fun. I also find the force feedback a bit flat and lifeless in iRacing compared to other sims. Oh well. :( Too bad you are in an apartment as telemetry based rumble is very good in iRacing. For example you can feel the bump from at the end of the pits in Bathhurst. Very cool. Keep the iRacing vids coming.
Yea regarding the FFB I think they’re good at the big things. Like big bumps and curbs. But it’s the details that have always been missing from this game, no matter wheel combo I’ve used. Thanks for the comment mate👊
Hey David,
I've been driving iRacing for over a year at this point and have been sim-racing for longer. I'm interested to hear how you'd elaborate on your claim that iRacing has the worst force feedback of any sim you've driven as that conflicts with my experience entirely but obviously I don't have real life experience in a GT3 car like yourself. Thanks!
@Devin Booth Yup! That surely enhances the FFB feel a lot.
Cool vid. Maybe you will be able to get rid of the snap oversteer in the races where settings are done manually.
The snap oversteer seems to come with any setup we try
There is a great brake mod for the Thrustmaster pedal kit
Will you be checking out Rfactor 2 now that you got a good pc? Really would like to know your opinion on their gt3 dlcs
I’m not sure mate, I barely have time to play these existing sims so I don’t anticipate adding another to the list
Once you get load-cell peddles, you will have a better time under braking and that will help with tire life.
Let me know if you need a team mate for endurance races next season 😁 we are already friends on iRacing
I’m been thinking of getting gaming pc too but there always beyond my budget. Would a thousand dollars pc is good enough to run iracing or race room?
Absolutely! That’s more than enough for a decent PC for racing
Cool video, nice racing, not easy to put that together in iracing as the guy behind you discovered
Haha
Ricmotec makes a load cell brake mod for the T3PA Pro pedals. Also pretty good shifter mods for the Th8A
I just got that shifter & it's great :) Somehow easier w/ the sequential keep from totally loosing control but I'm still a bit slower than using paddles. (Haven't tried the H pattern mode)
Would love to hear your opinion about the new tire model on the GT1 cars.
Have you tried the day/night transitions?
Have you tried the Porsche GT3 Cup car? The racing drivers I know IRL love that car.
I haven’t tried the Porsche Cup car mate
the problem for the taskbar not disapearing can be fixed by pressing alt+enter, if that doesn't work try a combo of alt-tab and alt+enter, the game doesn't know it should be on fullscreen. It can happen if you have two screens and click outside the game
Alt+Enter helped, thank you
Very interesting video! I see in the comments about fov settings. I have always wondered what real racing drivers think about what is "right" and "wrong".
The reason why you want accurate fov is so that things are the right size. You cant see distance as there is no stereo vision with monitors, but if your FOV is correct, atleast the scale of things will be correct: It is much easier for your brain to piece things together, like how far things are.
@@whysoslow1999 That is true. I was just interested to hear what real drivers think about it.
Is this snap oversteer just with fixed setup or even with a great one, like from VRS or PDS? Somebody knows?
With all of them mate
Yeah setup helps. The Ferrari is generally understeery but there's a few corners where it likes to snap oversteer for some reason like Blanchimont
you should be able to adjust the brake bias and adjusting it forward a bit i found it much easier to trail brake and got less oversteer under braking
@@WhippyWhipGaming yeah but what's the strange thing for me is that this is meant to be an easy introduction into gt3 cars (or at least i think it is) yet you have a setup that tries to kill you when you trailbreak...
A lot of what you struggle with in iRacing ultimately comes down to the tyre model, which is probably the worst part of the sim. Every tiny slip overheats the tyres and you have no grip at all. So driving like you would in real life isn't actually fast.
Besides that, "updating" an old track would require them to rescan the whole thing, which is expensive.
The game is hugely expensive... so rescanning ain’t my problem 😂 I am aware of the tire model issues, I am looking forward to trying the RS3 which has the new version.
@@DavidPerel If you have any spare money I can recommend the GT1 cars. They also received the new tyre model and are a blast. Too bad there are almost no races going official. :/
I like the new tire model so hoping it soon comes to the Ferrari.
where you using the GT3 or GTE? i find the baseline setup for the ferrari very stable....much emphasis on slow in fast out. subbed and belled. would like to watch more
im only a year into PC sim racing FYI. been on a pad and console for 25+years :(
im pretty sure you have to calibrate the ffb in iracing per car . looks like your what they call clipping in corners the fbb is too high preventing you from feeling the small effects . i think you have to do a few test laps then click auto calibrate in the ffb settings if i can remember
Maybe you will enjoy the ffb more on the skip barber? The skippy has the new tire model on which when released, people said that the ffb was much more realistic. Also there are some ffb options available in the options. Researching different specs for the wheel settings online could help.
I have got a lot of advice from the comments which I will definitely try 😁
Try ACC next!! I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
Hey dave, long time viewer, first time commenter. Like you I’ve played the gt series from the beginning and I tried iracing many years ago and didn’t much like it. Back then though (like 10 years ago) is was pretty rough compared to gt5. I was using a g27 back then and my biggest peeve was the sound! Hated it. Of course I hated gt5 sounds as well as they ruined the NSX R engine note which sounded great in gt4. My question is about sound. Compared to gt sport (which sounds mostly pretty good), how good is it? I’d love to get back into iracing but am a bit hesitant.
GT Sport engine sound is much improved compared to previous Gran Turismo games. But the sounds outside of engine noise... not so good. ACC is the most accurate when it comes to GT3’s but ACC is also ok.
Same feelings about Iracing, I had fun on it but having to wait a whole week for a new track to race on gets boring quick, plus the amount of money one has to spend on it to get the most out of it was just a little bit much for me (I know I might get alot of blow back but it's how I feel). Ultimately I dropped Iracing and got Assetto Corsa and download mods, haven't missed Iracing and really been having more fun. To me Iracing is either you LOVE it or Hate it and to me I wasn't really that impressed with it to spend that much money on it.
IRacing for me isn’t necessarily love or hate. I’m kind of in the middle and will definitely give it more time. I need to beat some of my mates first 😂
@@DavidPerel I played it for a couple of months when they had a promo code and I told myself I'd give it the trial months to see if its worth the money, I bought the 488 GT3 and few other things but just never got the "OMG this is great" feeling. But then again I can't really get on my PC what with having kids and all so that was another reason to dump Iracing.
Hi David!
First, thanks for u're videos, very interesting! I've seen you have the T_GT wheel, but i thought it was exclusive to GTsport.
How can you use this one on Iracing or another games?
Peace
Hey mate, the TGT buttons can be remapped like any other wheel :)
Cant w8 to see more Iracing and ACC i love them both.I guess you ll try your car in ACC :D
Hey David! Great video as always. I noticed many people in the comments mentioning a "realistic" fov, but no one seemed to explain it clearly. Truth is, both your setup and theirs is realistic in different ways. So let's clear things up!
Say you're seated in your real race car, usual day at work. Now say you hold a rectangular wooden frame in front of you. Now say that frame is the same size as your computer monitor, and you hold it at the same distance from your face as your monitor is in your sim setup.
What would you see through that frame?
This depends on size and distance, but suppose something like a 27" screen at, say, around 50cm. Imagine you're looking through a 27" frame at 50cm in front of you while sitting in your car, you probably would see a bit of the dashboard, a bit of the wheel, some of the track, and that's it.
That's what they mean by "real" fov: having the dimensions of objects on your screen be the same as if they were in front of you in real life. You could call that an one-to-one scale fov, or real size fov.
With your fov, you are representing your entire field of view in real life, onto your monitor. Basically condensing the extent of what you'd see in reality, so that it fits on a screen. That's another kind of realism. A scaled, or fit-to-screen fov.
Many sim racers like the one to one fov, since it gives them a more accurate representation of distances and relative object sizes, helping them judge their driving better, at the expense of situational awareness.
In the end, it's all up to personal preference! I hope this clears things up a little, and in looking forward to more PC sim vids! (rfactor 2? ;) )
Hey man, this is the best FOV comment so far. I appreciate the explanation! Thank you :)
There are a number of cheap Load Cell upgrade kits for Thrustmaster pedals that maintain compatibility on Console and PC.
Thanks for letting me know
Great to see you on iracing! Any chance we will get open lobbies on streams? :^)
Possibly, but not any time soon as I’m on the road till December
hey dave! have you tried any racing sim using vr??? Its crazy how different it feels
I have many times mate, it’s incredible 😳
Like you Dave, I’m a long-time GT player. It’s interesting to see these vids: whilst I bet you’re loving the different, mostly ‘better’ physics of some of the PC titles, I also bet you realise just how lovely GTSport looks! It really is impressive given the age and spec of the PS4 hardware compared to modern PCs. “GT7” on PS5 should look absolutely incredible!
Anyways, cheers for the fresh videos and good luck in your races & upping your rating 😊
Right
Also bare in mind though that iRacing is over 11 years old
Saying that, I will agree that GT Sport does look fantastic
GT Sport looks amazing but it had a 150 million dollar budget... there's nothing in the PC market that comes anywhere close to those kinds of budgets... even PCars 2. which had about 20 million can't compete.
Great vid, glad you're getting into some of the PC games. When you get Competizione going let's do a subscriber race! I'd love to race you and it'd be a blast with the other subscribers
Hopefully I can set a lobby race up in November 😁
@@DavidPerel I know you're busy, don't sweat it . sklew on steam. I need some good people to race. public lobbies are brutal
A race with subscribers would be amazing in ACC!
