@@pranavps851 I believe he has really flush rig setup (wheels pedals etc) directly against 3 65" monitors so its really hard to tell where his rig ends and the fake dash on the tv begins
When I first saw this rig I thought the whole car was real and it was surrounded by monitors. And then I eventually realised the whole car wasn’t real but still thought the dash was hahaha
The only downside of this is that it spoils us when and overtake is going to happen. Maybe you could add the picture just after the overtake took place
Your setup continues to blow my mind! Looks amazing and that was such a good race! Can't believe how quick you caught him once you tried the throttle early in corners. Good racing! This is going to be an awesome set of races! Can't wait
I have a G2, and I still prefer my triple 32" ws 1440p monitors. VR is almost there...almost. The brightness and detail of my G2 just can't compare to the trips, even if it is more emmersive.
I was at this track for the 1996 Indy Car race when Alex Zanardi dove down the corkscrew to pass Bryan Herta on the very last lap and win the race. Coolest thing I've ever seen in racing still to this day.
Really immersive video! Genuinely did double takes at the start as to whether this is real or ACC. Just subscribed and looking forward to the rest of this series 👍🏻
Most of the gear is stuff that’s been sent to us for reviews. The rest is essentially a business investment. Making content is our full time jobs so it’s no different from a cafe buying an industrial kitchen.
Kunos really made miracles with ACC... our hobby is in such a good place right now :) Only blip is VR is very poor compared to the competition - but honestly Ive been back in pancake mode due to ACC and race in 2d primarily again. Oh top notch content Mr Media - thanks !
I agree and wish they would work on VR and improve its performance and quality…horrible mess right now. Meanwhile I‘m on Automobilista 2 for a decent VR experience.
This I love ACC, but without good VR I am not interested. I can only drive on 60hz on my reverb g2. 60hz on the reverb is not smooth enough for me. Hopefully Kunos takes VR really serious for AC 2!
@@AttilaTheHun333333 I would not be surprised if this is as good as it gets with the engine version etc.. they chose for VR. Its fair to say they have tried but the fundamental is that its just so fuzzy at useable performance (5900x/3090 here). Im not mad though - its so bloody good outside of VR - as you say can just load up AMS2/PC2 or iRacing for first class VR experiences.
@@SlowBloke123 I have exactly the same specs. I think the coming years more and more simracers will use VR. Hopefully people will choose engines specifically with VR in mind in thd future. They can't ignore us VR nerds anymore :p.
FSR has allowed me to crank all my VR settings in the Quest 2 right up, it's still not great, but I think that's partly down to the game, partly down to the Quest optics. But can hit a solid 90-100FPS with it which is as important as anything.
Just realized this was ACC. This high end PC and mods makes it look like a whole different game and your setup makes it feel so realistic! Sure you get a lot of fun! ^^
Your realization that you needed to get on the power a fraction sooner to plant the tires was really interesting to watch. I don't know that I would have picked up on that so quickly with a new car. Awesome setup, I always have to check that it is indeed sim racing and not the real thing! Definitely excited for more races from this channel!
I can not believe my eyes. Every part of my body (more so my brain) tells me this is real life racing and NOT simulation. This is really outstanding, I am mind blown and so is my friends I sent it too. This is going to be my new go-to channel on UA-cam. I have seen many videos today, really awesome stuff you got Will.
Apart from the bezel kits I would put my hand on the bible and swear that was onboard footage !! Great vid will, can’t believe that lambo didn’t defend himself into the last corner !!! 👍👍
Great content as usual, I especially like the ACC stuff. I’m new to sim racing (just over a month in) and I really enjoy ACC, I’m happy with the lap times I set in practice and can drive for over 20 mins consistently fast. But I’m finding as soon as I go against the AI I start spinning the car… often for NO REASON I’ll have navigated the first 2 laps and will be sat comfortably in the middle of the pack or top 10 with no cars near me and then for no reason BOOM I’ll spin the car. I know its a mental thing but I just can’t seem to shake it!
Man you are a really good driver and this content is great. For beginners in sim racing your notes of what is happening are really helpful to understand how to think. And the setup and the video are amazing. Congratulations!
I wanted to tell you, I did a comment about your driving being too last week I think, I really saw an improvement on this driving right here. I wanted to congratulate you man!! That was fantastic and you took wayy more risk and it paid off!! Fantastic race!! Loved it!
My god.. when you hit the sand in the final lap I was like nooooooo!!!!! Lol but hey great job! Also I have learned a thing or two by watching especially on turn 1!! Two thumbs up for this video!
You not just a great driver but you are an example of how we have to enjoy the lucky to have such simulators! without rage or other s**ts! A pleasure to watch your races!
Great video!! You mentioned you need some throttle application during the corners and not coast. This is partially track/car dependent but I know the McLaren can coast very well, so this is a setup issue (I won the Laguna Seca race in my leaguage this season with the McLaren). Then it depends when the car feels oversteery: Braking straight and trailbraking into the corner; might want to look at the front bumpstop rate/range and/or front bump. The front of the car is dipping to much causing less weight to be on the rear tires causing them to loose grip so limiting/slowing the movement in the front down will help with that. Aside from that you can also experiment a bit with the preload differential setting that will also keep the rear slightly more stable during corner entry.
@@boostedmedia , sure thing. Hoping it helps. Keep up the good stuff, love your setup. When I show it to other people they are always confused it's 'just a game'.
Great production Will. Would love to see more of a "traditional" broadcast edit on these videos. A lot more work for Tom editing but I reckon these would be insane value AND engaging (increased engagement) Keep up the fantastic work mate.
great stuff Will, really looking forward to your take on setups for the McLaren. I enjoy the car, it's really fun, but I'm not fast in it and that is partly down to confidence in the car and confidence in my ability.
I got through most of the video without realising it's a rig and not just a screen haha. Seriously though love the rig, love the racing, love the content. Cheers man
I became a new visitor to your channel during December and out of all the races I’ve watched in that time, I think that was your best one yet. I liked the commitment to the overtakes in this race, you were .50 sec quicker than than a lot of the cars in front. Jack Aiken was the only one matching your times, and he’s an F1 Reserve driver. I think you even stole fastest lap there.
By co-incidence, I too have only just begun to try out ACC (moving on from Project Cars 2, can't afford iRacing). I'm trying to perfect 20 minute races with AI so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos over the next few weeks - although with my meagre skills I will probably never match your lap times! I started with Laguna Seca and I'm currently working on Spa and Bathurst, both of which I'm finding much easier than in Project Cars 2. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching!
What’s so realistic about this is that the game simulated the dip on turn 6 that you can use to your advantage to speed through that corner! I don’t think any other game with Laguna seca does that!
Driving the most appropriate car for the channel name - more than 720hp from 4 litres in street form - yeah I'd say this MEDIA is heavily BOOSTED. Can't drive the Lambo, though. Unless it's the Urus. Anyway. Kuddos for a riveting race and professional commentary - greetings from Latvia.
This is the best looking one you play looks like real life, great lighting in this game and colours, they have V8 supercars on this game? Much love from the U.K.
I agree this had the most realistic colour palate that I've seen so far... looked great Will, unfortunately I'm VR only so will apparently get fuzzy vision and no palate adjustment. bummer cos that looked class
Really enjoy your vids mate, I just started sim racing a couple of weeks ago and I keep coming back to your vids to learn more about the different games and gear you can run. You seem to be a very down to earth guy. Cheers from Sweden
Hey mate, great video and race! With the mclaren you can rev it out to 7.4K rpm, you have to listen for it, no clear indication on dash. Otherwise great driving, keep it up!!
Truly immersive Will! The PIP is a great added feature on the videos; it adds to the overall presentation. I am hopeful that the ASUS 42" OLED will hit market Q1 2022. I am currently running triple 27" 1440p 240hz, but would love to take it to the next level with triple 4K on a larger screen. You have blurred the line between simulation and realism. Kudos!
and for the optimum shift point.. you don't need dots just your ears. i found that even digital cars are similar to reality whereas you can tell when the engine is peaked just by the sound.
Great Great Will, it was phenomenal and the PIP on the screen it was an excellent Idea. Good work man. You put me a lot off strength to end the mounting off my rig, but my first's record's was a shame and I can't use that to my new channel. So I have to record again all, and no time, so The mounting off the rig is in a stop spot. And your videos give more enthusiasm to get the hands on the work videos editing and complete the assembly. Well I hope someday get the chance to get a race with you. Thanks a great Video men I love'it. Cheers
Because it's a video, so the lack of depth from a 2D screen doesn't come through. The colors are also fixed in editing to appear more realistic, and the camera angle is set to maintain the illusion of a cockpit.
This Simrace rig is so good that took me like 5 minutes to realise the hands are actual real life hands haha
Now that you're saying it lol
And I thought it was VR. Can you explain this setup?
@@pranavps851 I believe he has really flush rig setup (wheels pedals etc) directly against 3 65" monitors so its really hard to tell where his rig ends and the fake dash on the tv begins
FYI, all these triple screen rigs are no where as immersive in real life. It’s only an illusion in a captive UA-cam video.
When I first saw this rig I thought the whole car was real and it was surrounded by monitors. And then I eventually realised the whole car wasn’t real but still thought the dash was hahaha
Loving the picture in picture of the overtakes, really cool!
The only downside of this is that it spoils us when and overtake is going to happen. Maybe you could add the picture just after the overtake took place
@@Bruh-l9d excellent point and suggestion
I like this idea also. Will give it a go for the next one and see how the reaction is.
@@Bruh-l9d Like an instant replay!
My jaw drops everytime I see how realstic this looks.
Of course it's an off-screen footage. Saturation and all.
You know you've got a realistic sim when you can't tell where the screen starts 😅
its VR...
It’s not VR. 😂
