+Connor Mcpherson HAHA consoles. The only thing that would work with a console is the wheel itself and the pedals and ONE of the screens. I suppose the butt Kicker would also work because of the way it works. So no consoles could actually utilize this rig.
You should have a look at the thread in the iracing forums about fov ect. You are doing everything wrong you could do. No offend bro but that does not feel any real and does not help the immersion. I am pretty sure a correct setup would even help you go faster.
Shane Parish You should do a build log of what you are using on your new set up and do another review video. Or a tutorial of how you made gauges work together. I really enjoyed this one. Subscribed!
Wow man.....that is one awesome looking rig for sure! Looking at the pics in the forums don't do them justice. These videos just show so much more. Incredible build Shane!
Side monitors angle is too narrow. They should make a perfect triangle with your eyes, pointing straight at you. Nice setup. Not overkill at all, but there are many console players that with not much experience with PC gaming, when they see a good PC gaming setup they can't keep thinking console gaming is as cool as before realizing what they are missing in the PC world.
MrLithiumFox I am far sighted and that angle works great for me. Remember everyone just because the angle looks bad or would not work for you does not mean it wont work for someone else.
Shane Parish Nope, we're right, you're wrong!! You clearly just don't know any better, and won't accept our helpful guidance because you're just too proud! Haha!! Seriously though, the Oculus rift is going to make triple monitor setups seem positively archaic, so it's no big deal anyways ; )
bliglum Well that depends if you want something stuck to your head enclosing your vision. For me that would be very uncomfortable and I would not even consider that device.
Shane Parish Stuck to your head? Haha! It's just a pair of goggles man : ).. But I know what you mean. I'm guessing you hate things like headphones and hats too? Real shame though, you're missing out. I just tried Live for Speed with the DK2, and it's pretty amazing stuff man!
Very Nice Rig. I've got mine kinda/sorta like yours. I'm still in the building phase of mine yet. My fans are all hidden and I use a flexible tubing to direct the air to where I want it to be. I use Z1 also it is a really Great software. I've got the Fanatec V2 wheel and some extra steering wheels for it. I also use the Fanatec V1 Pedals and I Really like them, A lot. Anyway I enjoyed your video, Thanks.....................=)
I'd prefer the screens closer but that subjective. The setup is crazy, though. You must have spent big bucks for it and I bet it's a joy to drive in there. Perhaps too many distracting gadgets for my taste, but kind of cool at the same time. I know people that add all sorts of software gadgets on their screen and this would save them. The side cushions thing is just brilliant! I always rest my right leg on the side when I drive. Overall, great rig, a little bit too many gadgets for my liking, but there's great quality and thought put into it. Jealous :)
this is an AWESOME rig, but one question i have in mind while looking at this is, why the screen are so far away ?? wouldn't it be better if they were closer?
So this is what the guy/rig always passing my but looks like.....no wonder ! Seriously, i can finally stop looking on youtube for the "Best" racing sim. Congrats You Win! Great job Shane
nice setup shane . i remouve my 3 screen setup for oculus rift dk2 and is just mind blowing for me .i ave race gt3 whit you in the pass year. tanks for your setup video .
Really spectacular rig. One of the best looking I've ever seen. One small suggestion: If you ever decide you want to upgrade the lighting, take a look at CCFLs. They'll give you a much more even light than LEDs. Only real caveat is that they're rigid, but I don't think that would be an issue with your set up.
Nice setup, crazy clean install. I personally couldn't play with the monitors there though. The FOV would be way off, as others have already said though. Super nice looking, if you get those monitors closer id say its the nicest functional rig I've seen! I'm doing a lot of stuff to mine right now but I'll be happy with just my tablet running dash meter pro. The last item I remaining to be replaced is my Logitech g27, but I'm not doing so until I can do a DIY Direct drive.
Wow! Kickass looking rig there man! Mine isn't even close to this ( yet ) but I can definitely see where the sickness ( as in a good sickness! ) comes from. Very nice setup!
It is addicting!!!! I have redone most of the rig and the next one is going to totally blow this one away!!! It blows my mind when I look at it and it is not complete yet lol.
Really enjoyed seeing someone take the time and money to build and personally create a simulator such as... Im very impressed guy. total thumbs up for you. get some nice angles of you actually playing some racin sims!
Awesome setup, I am jealous of it for sure, only thing i think I would change for ME, is too many instruments I would get to distracted and look away from teh track and end up running into something. :) Loves the blue lights as well, hope you dont change the color of the lights fro Christmas or other holidays :)
I have a ps1 with F1 98, a wheel and pedals from a charity shop (the wheel sits on a cupboard door I balance on my lap) and an open can of petrol next to my face...now that's immersion.
sweet rig man! I have seen lots but this is by far one of the coolest. I imagine you put in lots of time and money in to this! I respect that you did that! You must have a serious passion for racing rigs. Great Job!!!!
Nice one I didn't realise that you have since moved your monitors closer to achieve the 175 fov. It's great isnt it. I have 3 x 27" monitors it is great being able to look over your shoulder at the car beside you. (Edge of outside monitors in line with your head). I have a siminstruments dash as well built into my sparco p310 wheel. Very versatile dash.
Shane Parish With all this fancy tech shit around I think I would buy a clip on cup holder. My dad spilled beer on our membrane keyboard at home and completely fucked it up, I couldn't imagine what would happen if you spilled shit on all that stuff
All you people passing comment on having too many screens and being over kill. At the end of the day it's his. He enjoys it and that's all that matters. Jealousy comes to mind with you people because if you had the dollars to do the same you'd all do it in a heart beat.
Thanks for your comments and you exactly right with your comments. I put this rig on here to give people enjoyment and ideas for their rig. I had no intensions of making anyone jealous with my setup. I have been working very hard on my new rig which is out of this world. I hope to have it up soon but waiting on a couple of manufacturers to release their products. The new rig will have new unseen never done before items on it created and developed by myself. I can't wait to share it with the world as some of the items have never done before and definitely have not been thought of or done before in the entire world. Keep posted as I hope to have the new rig out in the next few months and this new rig will help many people develop a better strategy for there rig at home. Thanks again
WOW..I can see how much effort and $$$$ has gone into this, I have a similar set up. But all a waste of $$$ now I have a CV1!! can't see any of them fancy bits with a Rift strapped to my face! And VR has killed triple screens for me, there's no going back. I best cash in and sell it off before VR really takes over.
doesn't all that stuff distract you from driving? I mean, holy crap dude, that thing has more switches and instruments than a 747 lol, not what I would have done but pretty amazing job if it what you like.
Much safer than going to the track. No fuel costs. Could still increase your real life lap times without going to the track as often. Cost as much as a moderately nice car but you get every race car you'll ever think of plus road cars. Worth it worth it worth it. Genius.
The guy I follow is excellent, has one monitor g27 and a staples office chair with wheels off lol. Kudos tho for your commitment to your hobby,nowt wrong in spending on what you love if you have the money.
LOL...love how everyone screws up Derek's company name...it's NOT plural (Spears) but singular....(Speare)....besides that...not bad of a setup....cant wait to see what updates you're working on...
Shane, verrrrrrrrrrrry nice and so professionally designed and fabricated. Absolutely beautiful. Any thoughts to adding 2/3 or more DOF actuators? Love to know more about the PC you used as I have a dual use application. Simracing of course which requires high speed & high resolution graphics, and a virtual pipe organ program which requires multi-channel (> 10) high quality audio but very little in graphics, lots of RAM 32 gig minimal 64 optimal. Obviously not running simultaneously!
Currently, I only have the Logitech MOMO and the Thrustmaster TH8RS shifter, but one day I will get a professional sim racing rig just like yours. Your rig is so cool!!! I wonder how much money you spent for the whole thing...
That is some cool gear you have there! But do you really need 6 rev indicators? :) Seams like a lot of redudancy there. Nice setup with the fans and the knee pads!
