    I am 62 and I got into sim racing nearly three years ago. I started with a PS4 and G29, thinking that this was just a short phase trying to hold on to my youth by playing games lol. I found out that it wasn't just a short phase playing games and upgraded to a PC running a 3080 and a Quest 2 VR headset. The immersion is just incredible for me, and with a homemade bass shaker installed under the seat made from a 100watt speaker was the cherry on the cake. I didn't feel the need to upgrade my G29 because the wheel I see is the wheel in the actual car I see through the VR headset. After watching this video you have convinced me that I need a direct drive wheelbase and a good set of pedals. I am not sure if I should be thanking you, I was happy till now lol.

      Wen I was happy with my simple wheelbase very good friend of mine in your age took a DD wheel for his beautiful rig and was so exited that start pushing me to take one ! I couldn’t afford it at the time and I needed to save money for at least a year ! Well he could wait for so long and wanted to feel that right now and send me the money to take one and I paid him back in the next months 😁

    The best upgrade for me by far was the Rig (PSR1 from Raceanywhere ), followed by a good set of pedals then DD wheel followed by an ultra wide monitor, I have a VR headset but do not use it because it shuts me off from the world which I cannot afford.
    For me a sturdy rig improves massively all other accessories

    • @chepilevski

      This is the way. I upgraded my rig and got triples while still using a G920. The rigidity, proper position make the wheel feel way better. An angled pedal plate makes them work better. It's good enough that I can take my time learning and driving before upgrading my wheel and pedals.

    Didn't have room for triples (until recently) so VR was my first real upgrade, biggest advantage I got from it was the ability to judge distances far better than I could with flat screens, I gained a lot more consistency in my driving. Consistency, is what gets you results 🙂DD wheelbases are important but I also found adding transducers to my rig helped a great deal too. I always look forward to your uploads as I know I'll gain more insight into what I can do to improve my race craft, so thank you again for all your hard work.

    Triples have more than 33% FOV advantage than ultrawide because the side panels are next to you. With a 49" ultrawide you have a about 80-90° FOV. With triples 160-180°. That's is a 100% increase in FOV (double FOV)

This month i bought a nice Gaming PC because ACC sucks on XBox also i bought the new Fanatec V2 pedals.

    I need to send people to this video lol I know your rig took you more than half a decade. Ppl just can’t seem to understand why mine is taking about 15 months of fully dedicated building and wiring. Constant learning, testing, verifying, implementing, adjusting, perfecting, rinse, repeat. I remember one thing I took away from your content a while back that I didn’t appreciate but do now: as you get faster in the rig, you acquire new knowledge about your hardware and about precision. It was always a little bit of a buzzword for me but now I get it. For instance you don’t need to decide if you want pneumatic or hydraulic pedals at the start so don’t waste tons of time complicating things. bc you simply wouldn’t understand the difference or feel it in your feet. When you starting finding the precise limit comfortably, you naturally start to understand how to take that further and realize the fidelity in your feet could be improved leading you to study benefits of pedal types. I’ve just always appreciated that about your content. It’s not the type of hardware a driver has, it’s about what is most readily available to them to produce predictable lap times but most importantly whatever hardware helps them maximize fun.
    That said I totally agree with the list. A person’s natural passion for racing will decide for them the order at which they upgrade. I only just now got that NRG seat and I was blown away by the drastic difference a halo seat makes. Mostly just in simple positioning and sturdiness. No more wiggles on sharp turns. No more disruptions right in my braking zone from the little bit of play in the seat.
    I digress. Great one man! I’d say keep going and killing it but I know I don’t have to.

    For me the best upgrade to do first once you have a force feedback wheel is to ditch the single 16:9 and get a single 21:9 or Tripple 16:9 setup, I went to a 21:9 screen and now I cant use anything smaller for racing on a wheel

    I really like the atmosphere and the feeling of epicness in your videos, you are really unique.
    When I was looking for information on which upgrade (wheelbase or pedals) should I go for first after rig and VR, I found out that the majority recommended going with pedals first. I eventually upgraded both simultaniously, but for me as an Dirt Rally enthusiast, going pedals first would been an error. DD wheel in rallying is such a cool experince and really helps on feeling the road! Also the breaking point aren't that important in rallying. Not saying that the pedals didn't improve the experience but I personally feel that they are not that important.
    For the fellow rally driver searching for these recommendations, my list would be 1. VR, 2. Rig, 3. DD wheel, 4. pedals.

      To be honest, that video idea started exactly that way as your case ! Pedals or DD and I believe all 4 upgrades are almost equally important but as you explained, that exactly will be my personal choice of upgrading steps !
      Visual first, rig second, DD third and at the end pedals!

    VR seems to me to be the killer app for this. I mean, you need the quality wheel and pedals and all that, of course, but the immersion of VR is just unbeatable. And you get stereoscopic vision so it's way easier to judge distances, and you can just look all around you to see other cars. Ideally, it should be a headset that connects via a Displayport cable, though, not a Quest 2. The Quest 2 (or Pico 4, as well) are wireless or USB only and that means they need to use graphical compression to push the image to the headset. Better to get something like a HP Reverb G2, or (in Europe) a Pico Neo 3 Link that is both standalone and wired displayport. I have the Pico 3, and it's pretty amazing to get super clear no-lag wired VR for 400 something euro. The next step up would probably be to wait for what Pimax has to offer here shortly. Way wider field of view and high resolution connected to an RTX 4090 should be fairly mind-blowing. But so would the total cost, it would probably be approaching 5000 euros... which may be a bit too pricey for most of us.

I now fully appreciate all the upgrades I have made and the times on track are not necessarily better, but I am more consistent and also feel more confident to push harder to try and find the extra tenths. As for my times... it is now my attitude and mental capacity to stop trying to push too much and focus on overall (average) race pace over the duration of a race... More consistency.

      That’s something I felt too with the Simucube 2 as well and I think is just the sim that way ! I can visually see the virtual wheel turns with delay from the real one !
      Don’t know if that can be fixed buddy 🙈

      @@chepilevski for a race car with slicks, i expect razor-sharp turn-in behavior. what's also strange is that even in ACC Pro mode without driving aids, it's too easy to drive. Is there an Ultra Pro Mode or something in ACC?
