This channel is all about Indycar (Dallara IR-18) races on IRacing. I like to watch races, and since I don't find that many on RU-vid, I decided to add mine to the mix.
I do stream the first two races of the week on Monday (8pm / 10h15pm).
I also stream the Wednesday Evening Indycar iRacing Series (IIS) race.
i now have my rig on springs and its made such a difference to the experience so thank you so much. i had a long winded idea to do with springs and a diy arduino motor for motion. i wanted to know your thoughts on the idea. if you had more spacings in the springs and you incorporated a motor to pull one end of the rig down , even if its just 10mm to give the sensation of the front of the car lifting up as you accelerate? i use vr and probably to slightest movement will feel a lot move when your in vr. i was litarally thinking of a pully on a sub frame. do you think its worth a try as i already have half to parts i would need
I thought about it, but then you need to find the motor, and then to link it somehow to your PC, and send inputs... That's way over my skill level. But I know it can be done.
I'm looking into this and I got a similar price from a different manufacturer. They show adjustment to adjust the springs pretty tight for maximum vibration containment. Their shop is called fixing smith. I'm early days I'm my research but it might be worth looking into tightening the springs. Nice setup btw
I use two AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer for the back, and one Buttkicker for the front. I'd say that it's enough to make it shake up to my taste. I think you have enough shakers to do the job, but might lack a bit on the amplifier side. But as any DIY project, worst case, you buy another one to improve the thing. Good luck!
Please remember that you have 4 springs to take the load of your rigs, so math will tell you that if your rig weight let's say 400lbs, and you about 200, that's 600 total, divided by 4, makes it 150 lbs on each springs. Give or take, since the weight distribution is not even, the back will be most of you and front mostly your feet and monitors (if connected to).
Yeah, every review I saw said it is the new "best thing", so can't wait to try it out. And yes it will take some times, I only hope it won't be as bad as my order for the Fanatec CSL DD, which took 6 months!
Yes, the project is complete and I LOOOOOVE the thing! Also, my GF like it because there is no more rumble on the floor, so it's really quiet for people around.
That sucks! Yeah that race takes 3.5 hours. I missed the best times to run too. And I couldn’t run the open. You could win this. More experienced drivers like us know strategy the novice runners don’t.
I was unable to lead the race, as the setup of the other guys were faster, but at the same time, I was clearly in the top 5. And for the time, I will take that into account for next year...!
Good to know. I had and still have nothing against him. At the time of the event, I was surprised, because it really felt like he did make a "wheel hit", more so because he was already passing me, there were no point in doing it. So that's why if it happened to be such an intended hit, I would have reported, because it was really a useless case of hitting someone for no reason. Now like the review showed, it was a bad case of netcode, which makes a lot more sense.
Thanks for adding the relative! You don’t have to do either or though. It’s nice to have the standings with like top 5-10-something and then it can show laps remaining etc too
Enjoyed the vid. You should add the iOverlay relative too. It's a little hard to read the in game when you're looking around and stuff. Also every time you looked to the left exiting a corner I thought you were losing the backend. I'm not used to see this in the VR perspective, haha.
Thanks for your comment, I'm still testing overlays, see what's good and useful. As for the back end, it was very stable this time around, but it was a totally different story at Texas on Monday.
Hi, i have question. If i use 4 of Dayton BST 300watt version, can i use 2 of 300w×2 channel amplifiers or do i have to use 1 amplifier that has 300w by 4 channel. Im not sure if 2 amplifiers can be use for this tactile racing setup.
You can use 2 amplifiers, simply split your output into each amp. You could also use two different sound cards, by doing so, you would be able to set up your software for each of your corners (front left/right, rear left/right).
Well, this is what happen when the iRating system is not respected. They took the Road iRating to make the splits. As a result, we had 4k and 1k drivers mixed together. People with less experience and knowledge fighting alongside people that knows how to avoid wreak and actually do a restart.
Stay off the primary tire as much as you can. They're usually terrible and way too slow. I went RRRB in this race. Very few tracks where the primary is the preferred tire.
Thanks for the tip. I must admit, I am so bad at road racing that I can't see the difference between both of them... Haha! But of course, with time I will. =)
$60 for a spring is a horrible rip-off. vibration isolators of similar strength (used for air conditioners and big fans) cost a few bucks per piece, so you're looking at no more than $20-30 for a set of 4
I also think it's expensive, but for lack of better option, that's the only one I found on the "internet". If you happen to know a place that sells such item, please help the community by providing such info..! (so more ppl can afford to do it). Thanks!
@@OSim42 I see youtube deleted my comment. I'll try again. Yeah, I understand how it can happen, took me a while to find the springs. I guess my point is more about Slip-angle set being overpriced because it's not cheap either, at all.
@@OSim42 Now, about how to find them yourself, I couldn't find a link that anyone can use and buy. You probably would be more lucky looking in your local/your country's stores. Put something like "spring vibration mount isolator hvac" (in different combinations) in a web search and see what comes up.
@@OSim42 Oh, come on, another deleted comment. /o Now, about how to find them yourself, I couldn't find a link that anyone can use.

@@OSim42 It's getting ridiculous, three comments in a row deleted. Now, about how to find them yourself, I couldn't find a link that anyone can use. You'll probably be more lucky looking in your local/your country's stores. Search for vibration isolator or spring mount or any other combination of these words, can also add hvac because that's where they are often used. Also take a look at what load they are designed for so you don't end up with too stiff ones.
Just know that the setups this season is way different than what I had on that race, so it may end up being a whole new kind of race. Wish you well this week!
I built a totaly enclosed rig many years ago(Gran T. on PS1) Was really cool for that time. Even had a vibration-unit(Intensor) behind the seat. I almost suspended the seat with springs but didn't. I guess I should have.
@@OSim42 If you're really into simulation, you should check out rFactor2 and Automobilista 1. Those will twist your mind, iRacing is just a step behind.
I've a springloaded rig since years to isolate the Buttkickers from neighbors. I've bought the pressure-springs for about 4 bucks each at a spring-factory in Germany and 3D-printed two cups for each. One is attached to the aluminium-profile, one on the ground and the spring is just squeezed in between. Very simple and cheap solution. The springs (length 50 mm, width 40 mm, strength 55 N/mm) are quite stiff and doesn't need further stabilizers.
May I ask you, where you purchased the springs (and which ones exactly) and how much weight they carry (rig including driver) approximately? Do you use 4 identical springs? The front springs will have to carry less weight I think.
@@BD992013 I use D-355 from Gutekunst Federn and 6 is more than enough. Just put the two between around the center of mass. I also bought stiffer springs, but they are too stiff IMO.
Exactly. I have a USB sound card dongle that is connected to my LFE system and my headset use my PC sound card. In iRacing, in the LFE section, you simply select the name of the sound card dongle and voilà! The game sound will go out to your headset, and LFE will go to your LFE amp. You can do the same if you use simHub or any other LFE software.
Thanks! here are some advices: Turn 1 and 2, you can go full throttle and pick pretty much any line you want. For turn 3 however, you will need to lift for the car to rotate. Unless you have no one in front of you can try and go full throttle, it's all up to you. This track is crazy fast and really hard to pass, but in the end, this makes it for some very good racing. Wish you luck this week!
