    I had to do my racing rig a bit backwards. I KNEW where the pedals were going to be when I built out my rig, so that came first. This is an all-wood rig, by the way. So then I had to measure out where my seat was going to go BASED on how my legs came off it and interacted with the static position of the pedals. THEN, once the seat itself was at the right angle and position, I had to figure out where the steering wheel felt most comfortable. It turns out, the plans I had put it too close to my belly, so I had to push it back 2 inches and raise it up 1 inch. I also altered the angle of attack of the wheel mount to point the wheel a bit further up towards my shoulders.
    I used all of these to custom-design the upright sides so that everything bolted on correctly. Then I had to put the side-pod on for my shifter. I really kinda wish I had put it a few inches closer to me, but it's totally within reach to shift.
    My rig is a personally-modified Ricmotech RS-1 but the wheel deck isn't made of MDF - it's made of particle-board shelf that I had on-hand. And the pedals aren't two MDF pieces, they're two SOLID WOOD pieces for extra strength. The whole thing got wrapped in subwoofer carpet material on the desk and the inside leg area and the side of the pedal bracket facing me. Everything else got the carbon-fiber treatment and I also finished it with black Arcade Trim. It looks REALLY NICE. And I have inverted pedals, just like a real car.
    Too bad everyone here is gonna hate on the fact that I have a Logitech G29 and shifter set. But you know what? Phooey on you! It's fun to play Gran Turismo 5 on my PS3 and American Truck Sim on my PC on this thing. I even got a 43" 4K TV mounted to it so the screen is almost exactly 33" away from my eyeballs. That's important because it gives me a nearly precisely 60° angle of view. My plan is to eventually get 2 more of those TVs and put them 60° off-set from each other to get 180° of total view in Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon, and American Truck Sim.

      There’s absolutely no judgement whatsoever. The entry point is pretty high in the Sim racing. I appreciate the effort you took to get your foot in the door and get going with it. The great thing is, you can always upgrade as you go. Enjoy it as much as possible.

    • @DJHeroMasta
      @DJHeroMasta 2 месяца назад

      Sounds like a dope rig man! And dope sweat the guys trashing the G29. For YEARS the infamous G27 was known for holding some of the world's record lap times across multiple sims. The "only" thing bad about Logitech older wheels is the fact that they're gear driven and have that notchy feel to em. Oh, and the worse part, is that they're overpriced to high heavens. $400, kiss my ass! My saved up a few hundred more and went straight to Fanatec.
      I bought a CSL Elite Wheels base as it's compatible on every platform I use but I ever so slightly regret it. If I started off with the G29 like I had bought for my dad, I could be rocking a three pedal setup along with an H-pattern shifter, handbrake and a rig to go with it for around the same price I spent on my current wheel alone. I find myself spending more time tweaking seating positions and messing with wheel settings more than I am driving. With the Logitech wheel I'd just set it forget it. But with the more expensive gear, there are so many more options to fiddle with!
      I should've gotten a job to test stuff and used that paycheck to hire someone to set everything up for me lol.
      I blame my office chair though. Using a quality wheel stand, with a decently powered wheel and a chair that swivels and doesn't lock at tue exact recline position is a pain in the ass. Every now and then I'll get it dialed in just right but being my office chair, once you move it and raise it back up....💡wow.....Ima get a marker and mark tue shaft where the seat feels best 🤦🏾‍♂️ why'd it take me this long to think about that.

  • @tobiwankentobi1982
    @tobiwankentobi1982 Год назад +5

    A big thank you! I use a Trak Racer TR160 for almost half a year and about a month ago I upgraded to a stronger DD and a pedal set with a hydraulic brake. Like many sim racers I had quite an upright seating position and my pedals were very low. While this is good for triple screens, since you are quite enclosed by your monitors this way, I actually was fidling around with my wheel angle and had difficulties driving GT3s with proper braking technique. Especially on ACC it was difficult for me to brake hard and then have enough fidelity to properly trail brake, since I was more or less pushing myself quite a lot up in my GT style seat. And I have to say I probably have one of the most stiff brake pedals on sim racing market (Asetek Invicta). Mind you, my new wheel and the pedals are awesome, I gained consistency within a week and also was already quicker on the tracks I race the most.
    But now? With your suggestions and measurements? Wow... just wow. On the Nürburgring I was almost 3 seconds faster on ACC hotlapping, my pace was about 2 seconds improved... and what is way more important, I am now veeeeeerrryyy consistent and managed to put down 1 hour races with only 2-3 laps with off-tracks... that's amazing! The reasons? When I brake hard I don't push myself up in my seat anymore, the force goes directly from my back into the seat and thus there is way less movement. Also the thing you said about the proper shoulder and arm positions... just gold. because I realized that I was not properly snug into the seat with my shoulders before, so like you said I was wiggling around with my shoulders when I had to do a lot of steering. And steering itself is another word: although I was driving far smoother already with my new wheel and DD-base, I am sure I am way more smooth and also calm in this new seating position...
    You know, I don't want to belittle the guys I usually follow in sim racing since they know what they are doing and also share their knowledge... but I actually think that most of them get this part of the hobby wrong... I think many of them set their rig more like their former office-chair setups with which most of us start. And I also think since most of them prefer quite soft brake pedals they don't really have any of the problems I had.
    Thank you, Mr. Morad, I really really appreciate this! With sim racing exploding and more and more peripherals and brands coming to the market in many shapes, forms and a fairer and wider price range, racing is now literally for everyone... and videos like these are extremely helpful!🙏

  • @divinasi0n
    @divinasi0n 9 месяцев назад +3

    I am thankful that you made this insightful video. A couple of years ago I bought a mid-grade sim rig which came with an upright seat (as almost all rigs do) which destroyed my lower back. I only found out what I needed to do to eliminate the bad ergonomics through a very long and arduous journey of trial and error.
    The biggest thing I learned - and I can't stress this enough - is that the lower you want to position the seat, the more reclined your LOWER back needs to be while your upper back/shoulders remain upright. This is simply impossible with the poultry equipment they bundle with sim rigs as you can only recline the entire back of the seat, not isolate the lower back, which is a seating position that also leads to back pain as the wrong muscles get used. (I know because I've foolishly done this and experienced it myself!)
    The solution is to buy a pro-grade seat which has the required lower back angle built in - or simply RAISE the seat relative to the pedals to achieve a 90+ degree angle between your lower back and your thighs.
    I am shocked by the amount of people I've seen that have their seat positioned very low down and rougly level with their pedals while sitting upright. If that doesn't cause pain, I would bet money it is causing damage to their backs and they'll know about it in time.
    I can only hope that this trend changes as people become more aware of the importance of seating ergonomics.

    Oh man, you hit the nail in the head with this video. This is such a big topic for all of SimRacers.

    Great video and these tips would make sense for normal road car driving, too. Too many young drivers think that it's cool to have seat as far rear as possible and they have to reach for the pedals and huntch their backs to be able to reach the steering wheel.

    Fantastic video I have done so much research on this topic and I can say your video just confirms I did it correctly my seating position is a little bit different to you I don’t have as much angle as you but still comfortable for me 👍 and for a feature video field of view, and maybe force feedback settings would be good to cover

    It's great to have some measurments from a real car, as reference points. I just compared to my own rig. Turns out, the angles of my seat and wheel are within a couple of degrees from yours. Pretty amazing. The way I set my rig up was to try and establish a floor line at the right height - comparing to pictures and diagrams I could find from GT3 cars. To make that work, I adjusted the seat angle so I was comfortable and able to push hard on the brake without straining my lower back. I also looked at my posture so I wasn't slouching in the seat.
    Kinda cool how this arrived at the same angles as you have.

    great video for anyone who struggles to get measurements. The best way to understand it quickly is your Chin in the same level with steering wheel. And of course the straight hands wrist rule. With lifted legs. I would say these 3 things are most important and the rest is up to your body and hight

    I have a question. I have an adjustable heel plate with my new pedals (P1X). Is it necessary for my heel to rest against the upright edge of heel plate or should your feet always be in the middle of the heel plate? I feel like in the video you have your feet against end of heel plate. I hope you or someone else reading this can help me. Thanks in advance!
