5 Tips For Training on a Budget Racing Simulator 

We decided to replace the plywood with plated gold to save budget...😂

We will be getting more into this over the next year. Let us know what you like and don't like

@@Teamoneilrally And please dont forget about steering wheel degrees of turn and how to set it up.. thats is very important on muscle memory

check out the rallysimfans plugin for Richard burns rally

_Cansei Dorifto_ over to your parking spot

Using Left Foot Braking during daily driving is our standard operating procedure...more people should

More to come! Thanks for watching

They have other videos setting up suspension and going over what to adjust and what to leave alone

@@camshaft262 Can you link me to one of those videos?, I can't find it. Thanks.

First place to start is a trial run / test to see how the car drives. Then start adjusting one thing at a time. I tend to play alot with Toe/camber and springs/damper adjusterments . Toe/camber to get better corner grip and suspension to keep the car more planted on the ground.

This setup is still cheaper than us paying our actual costs to race the cars we own at our facility. We want to help others be better drivers/racers and if Sim can help we want to find the best way to teach you how to use it

Do you like it so far?

The game itself could be considered an 8 in terms of how the game mimics the physics of a vehicle, and a 6 compared to real life in car, we'll subtract a few points for lack of motion. ~Jamie

240 degrees is a good starting point.

​@@Teamoneilrally Why set it to a much lower number than real life cars, in which engineers have carefully chosen a number that fits the car's stability and lateral grip? Would it not ruin one's knowledge of real life driving in terms of steering input and 'reinforce bad habits' as said in this very video? How about the inability to even execute and practice multiple-turn steering movements in the case of severe oversteer?

That makes sense. The next step is to look outside of console games and it seems Burns is the standard on PC. More videos to come. Thanks for commenting - Chris

disagree about the ffb point, little ffb is better than no ffb at all imo also there are budget priced "proper" ffb wheels, where one should start wheels are not a thing where you start small and work your way up, its more binary than that: either you have a "proper" ffb wheel or you dont, if you dont then youre most likely not gonna continue sim racing because of the frustration

@@DarkIzo What brand and type? I was thinking about MOMO but it was still way over $100 for used. Then I tried a cheap one and of course I was fighting the motor inside. With zero resistance I'm able to make split second movements just like in a car. The feedback is nothing like real wheel anyway. Yes, it tells you something about the curve but it's more like cheating than simulation. In a real car the wheel doesnt push into your hand in the opposite direction like that. If you lose traction you lose traction. There's no feed-back from real steering wheel. (maybe unless you dont have power steering). Yes, it wants to center itself all the time but that's all. So IMO it's less of a simulator than with no feedback. You just have to imagine the forces. And you have other feedbacks like squeeking of the tires and overall movement of the car

@@trollmcclure1884 i understand where youre coming from. generally speaking afaik the golden standard for a budget wheel stil is a used t300. afterwards build a LUT and set all the software sliders for ffb according to internet/preference. thats a solid start

@@DarkIzo Yeah. This may work but I'd rather buy a juicer or a set of tires on my car than throw $300-$400 into gaming. My computer was half that price 🙂 It proves my point. People dont need that. They can have immersive simulator experience while spending 50 bucks. FFB is only needed for competition to drive on the edge.

Richard burns rally is okay. Its not perfect by any means. It is absolutely NOT in a different class. It is a similar setup to other games like dirt (minus the center axis turning) and wrc but with its parameters tuned to be more realistic. Again: RBR IS NOT MORE OF A SIMULATOR THAN WRC. IT DOES NOT SIMULATE ANYTHING EXTRA. IT IS JUST PARAMETERS. Do i have to remind you that this guy is an actual rally driver? You have to understand that with every single simulator, you are always making tradeoffs for performance.

That is good advice! This is definitely our introduction to Sim. - Chris
