    Cheers for the shoutout Will, it was nice to finally cross paths on the grid!
    Edit: I agree totally with taking some time out to enjoy yourself. I found myself spending 90% of my time on videos, 10% on actually racing - restoring that balance a bit actually led to being way more inspired and motivated to make videos. It's the ol' fable of spending time sharpening the axe so you can cut faster

    Great driving, mate! Awesome video!
    That’s exactly why I avoid making online racing videos. It’s so frustrating when others don’t take it seriously and end up ruining someone else’s race. But you’ve got a good point, and I hadn’t looked at it that way before. Most people are just there to have fun and probably don’t care that I’m trying to record a video. And honestly, why should they?
    It’s a good perspective to keep in mind.

      He has a great setup however if he's not going to make that many racing videos per month and you crave more check out Project Sim Racing. His set up is insane and you can barely tell when his set up and the video starts. Simracing GG as well

    I've had about 6 months off from regular online races. I've raced occasionally when I felt like it but probably only a couple times a month. I've just started racing regularly in the last week or so and feel much better for it. Feels fresh, I feel like I drive better despite the break and I'm having fun again. If you're hobby is becoming a chore, take a break because you need it.

    Will, do you have any videos on how you setup your iracing in game? Like what you use for spotter app, racelabs and such. I see in game your using the Iracing black box but have racelabs on the video overlay. What do you use in game and how do they all work together? Thanks

    • @boostedmedia
      @boostedmedia  Місяць тому +1

      Not specifically. I’m using Crew Cheif audio spotter. No in game overlays. I run Racelab and capture the overlays on a second PC to use in the videos so you guys get some data but I can’t see any of that when driving.

    I've never really noticed it but bottom left of your monitor where your sector times are, how is it that low? I'm looking at your wheel and where the shaft likely is and I can't fathom how your monitor is down that low without your shaft going through the bottom of your monitor lol

    Hey Will great video as usual. Have you been hearing about problems with Logitech RS wheel hubs? I bought one and one of the mounting bolt holes is stripped out when I received it. I contacted Logitech on November 25th about the defective product and still have not been offered a resolution as of December 10th. Idk if this is a common problem with the hubs but custom service has been non-existent at best

    • @devast8r3436
      @devast8r3436 Місяць тому

      @boostedmedia hey will just wanted to update you due to just how bad the customer service has been on this. So after giving me a run around for 3 weeks about replacing the defective wheel hub they said they'd replace it. But instead of giving me a shipping label to return the defective product like they said they sent me a qr code that only FedEx can scan and give me a label. The nearest FedEx store to us is 2 hours away. I contacted them and they said I had to contact Logitech. I did and they told me that was the only option they were not going to provide me an email that contains an actual label I can just print off. So after 3 weeks I am just returning the RS wheel hub, G Pro wheelbase, and pedals all for refunds. I informed Logitech that this was the course and got a generic go screw yourself response. I'm just trying o make sure people know Logitech apparently no longer stand behind their products

    This is a big part of why I spend 99% of my time in practice, I get excited to race and commit time to it (away from fam and work) and then get taken out early and have to finish out ruined race, realized was often more enjoyable to hang in practice sessions, I find people to have fun with and can step away easier too

    • @IfICouldAim
      @IfICouldAim Місяць тому

      It's just a no fault solution. The game has no way of knowing who caused something, so it blames everyone involved. The only way to have a fault system is to have an actual person as race control to spectate issues and hand out penalties, which isn't feasible in all the normal races.
