Really appreciate your videos. As someone who has wanted to make the move from controller to a proper sim racing rig your advice has helped a lot. It sounds like it's perhaps best to save the extra money for a more mid-range rig and cut out the costly year 1 upgrades. Like they say "buy once, cry once".
@doobyscoo Thanks for the comment! Yes to me the most important change was getting a dedicated space where the wheel is setup and the little extra money for aluminium profile rig made a lot of sense to me as a great foundation!
Awesome video quality! I would advice to lower your seat by removing the two 4080 profiles and mounting the seatbracked onto the two beams below that. this way your butt and heels are closer to the same height, which is common in most racecars. that way also the steering wheel is higher relative to you. it shoud be so far away that your arms bend about 90° while holding it and the wheel axle should point to where your neck meets your upper torso. this way you have the most optimal position to use your upper body muscles to hold the steering wheel. all just suggestion of course but for me this made a crazy difference to my immersion and level of fun. i would also lower the screens as much as possible to have a realistic view through and over your steering wheel. im excited for more videos about your equipment :) best of luck with your channel!
@thereverent117 thanks for the detailed comment, much appreciated! Unfortunately I had my rig like that in what I like to think of as an immersive van driver position :) due to a lower back problem I am suffering from. However I did recently remove the profile again like you suggest, and have added and removed it a few times over the past months to see how much I can tolerate it and it is a better driving position for sure! Something that I hope will eventually be fully resolved, but in the meantime I just make do as best I can!
Can’t believe this popped up on my recommended! Great video, Michael, looking forward to racing with you again in the new year ;) maybe I’ll even finish this time…
@UltimateWobbleBoss Thank you for the kind comment! Unfortunate for you that your recommended algorithm must be very tainted with the niche of sim racers + GGHQ! See you in Virtual Zandvoort!!
I have a GT Omega Classic wheel.stand that slides under.my.desk up to my Thrustmaster wheel base. I run triple 24" (primary is AOC, and the two sides.are my son's unwanted Viewsonics). They are on my desk, which is just slightly forward than they should, but not horrible. But they are only 60hz. I got my T300RS and T3PA-Pro pedals used for $500 CND. But after buying the desk, chair, wheel stand, Sparco P310 wheel, shifter, handbrake, accessories, new PC, my total is getting very close to the $10k CND mark.
@@MichaelSmithRaces Definitely. And I am not even running a DD base would have bumped that up at least $500, large.monitors also. Although I also had to keep in mind the amount of space in the office/collector's room.
i have a moza R5 on a tube rig similar to the TITAN rig not quite as sturdy as a profile rig and a 55 inch tv i play mainly iracing and ATS and yes 5.5 Nm is plenty ! the game sets the brute FFB to 11% you can bring it up more if you wish ... or dare !
@ricardoa1661 thanks for the comment, yes I think the fun thing about this hobby is there are so many different ways you can go about it, but that also can be a little bit intimidating that you might do it wrong! I keep learning all the time. The reason I post to youtube is to connect with like minded people who like to tinker with this stuff!
Thank you for the video! I'm planning to buy a sim lab cockpit with those three DELL monitors, their specs look fantastic for the budget, and it seems it goes a bit under the radar. As soon as possible, i will order them. And overall it will be better than my foldable playseat challenge in front of my TV, for sure! Have fun on the road.
@paulcorvus only thing to note is that you will need some spacers as the vesa mount is recessed in the monitor. I used m4 35mm bolts through the gtomega monitor mount, then used some plastic / nylon spacers to pad it out. Email me from the contact page if you want more information or that doesnt make sense!
I'm not quite sure that you nailed the ergonomics on that rig 😁. You may wan't to adjust it "a little bit". The seat is equally as important as the brake. A good load cell pedal just doesn't work with a soft seat. You literally push yourself trough the seat. I learned that the expensive and painful way. I bought a "cheap" soft seat and it was horrible. Couldn't break consistently and developed lower back pain. If you upgrade your pedals, you really will need a seat that doesn't move and holds you in place when you apply pressure. There are so many channels that give advice on what to buy when you start out, but nobody talks about the importance of the seat.
@mementomori4972 thanks for the comment, I am still dealing with a significant back issue myself, I had it before I got the gtomega, but I have for a while been suspecting it is certainly not helping... Do you have a seat recommendation? Should I go for the Sparco Grid Q? www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sparco-grid-q-fibreglass-seat-s-s008009rnr/
@@MichaelSmithRaces It's pricey but for sure a good option if you already suffer back pain, since you can optimize the fit with the cushions. Anything certified with a fiber glass or carbon fiber shell will do, really. People seem to be very happy with the NRG prisma (Sim Racing Garage has a video on it I believe). Whatever you buy, make sure to buy the right size for you. Avoid steel frame seats like the Sparco Sprint for example. Those have an elastic back rest and are more suitable for boats and such. The Trak Racer seats have a reputation, so avoid them too. Edit: the more I look at the Grid Q, the more I want it...
haha yeah I have been eyeing it up for a while, your comment has nearly pushed me over the edge though when I explained to my wife it was now an essential purchase because @mementomori4972 said so on a youtube comment, she is not happy!
@@MichaelSmithRaces I'm sorry about that 😅As always, it's just another opinion in the RUclips comment section. It's important though to get the best seat for you, due to your back issues. So what's right for most people might not be right for you. Maybe do some more research before you pull the trigger. Best would be if you actually could test a seat. Don't forget that there is an additional cost. You will need side mounting brackets too.
Great vid, completely agree about the seat, wish some others had mentioned seat issues when reviewing gtomega, it would have avoided wasting £200+😂 on a seat that moves way too much and also sqeeks like crazy with the tiniest of movement😮😒, luckily i wear headphones most of time, however i still get greif from it as the mrs doesn't want to wear headphones whilst watching the tv 🙄😬 lol. Thank god I've large speakers for when she's out. 😂 Will be interested to see what seat you replace with, also if could give your rough body measurements if do a vid on it as feel that may provide some useful insight and help towards avoiding another bum purchase 😅. Like yourself i tend to have a more uprighted seating preference (going by how your sat in this vid lol) Anyways cheers for time spent on vid👍 P.s. subbed for you sim adventure 😁
Thanks @simplymentalOG thats a really nice comment to get on a Monday evening! I sometimes wonder why I make these videos but this is exactly why! I like to share my experiences to help others with their decisions. If only you had seen my previous video! ruclips.net/video/PHfBVECwXfQ/видео.html

Only problem is youtube falls short at showing this type of content, concentrating on large channels. Anyways... I hope you don't spend to much time pondering about is it worth it, especially when you have an awesome rig sat there for you own personal entertainment, enjoy life bro every chance you get ✌ 😂
Nice setup mate! I recently put a similar setup together, love it. However, I'm making a few changes, which I'm looking forward to doing. Anyway, subbed to your channel, keep up the good work.
@Virtual_Racer_1 that sounds like a loaded question given your name!! I have a VR Centre near me and thats originally how I got into the idea of sim racing. It was excellent. To do VR I needed a new GPU, and thats how all this spiralled out of control. For now I thought there triples would be easier to hop in and go, but I have my eye on the meta quest 3 still. I feel like it’s an AND rather than an OR! Which headsets do you like?
@@MichaelSmithRaces haha, no relevance to the channel name 👀 I rebranded it just before Christmas. Yes it is easier to jump in a race on the flat screen to do some tests. I have the meta quest 2 at the moment but I do want to upgrade to the quest 3 mainly for the weight and less bulky.
@erengamingtamil yes I CBA to get moza clutch for the srp lite pedals which is one reason why I want to replace the pedals entirely!! It might happen :)
@xHMProductionx yes I looked at this for ages, initially I ordered integrated then cancelled it! There are two important reasons for me: 1. you can move the rig more easily as you can slide it out without having a top heavy set of monitors attached to it 2. the monitors will 100% shake around as the rig / wheel moves in use if they are not on a dedicated seperate floor stand
@@MichaelSmithRaces oh good point. I didn’t think about that, #2 especially. I went integrated but never mounted only cause I use VR, and didn’t want it taking up space. I got them just for down the road, but probably will never use. I also plan on getting motion.
I’m looking to get into pc sim racing from racing on a ps4-ps5. And man it gets expensive fast! The worst thing is the pc. If you want a powerful pc, that’s future proof it gets expensive. I’m honestly nervous to put all that money into sim racing, if I suddenly decide that it bores me or something. If I’m going all in here is what I’ll buy Powerful and future proof pc Asetek Forte wheel and base Heusinkveld sprint pedals and in time, their handbrake and MagShift Rig? I have a older model of the gt omega art, and that will have to do for now. Screen, to start I’ll use our main tv. And wenn I have saved money I’ll definitely be going for triple screens. Some of gear I have chosen is expensive, but I want to only buy once and not keep on upgrading.
@Mr450pro haha you win this one!! Next race on Wednesday so I'm hoping I can fine tune the settings a bit more before then! Very Jealous that you got the Asetek gear, I would love that, seem like such a solid company also! Have you got a PC setup now? Are you loving it?
@@MichaelSmithRaces 😆 i tried the Asetek on my friends pc, and man it’s crazy coming from a G29🤤 We ordered all the parts for my pc 2days ago, so it’s not build yet. But it’s I7 13700 and a RTX 4080 and 32 gb ram. So it should have power enough for 4k and VR and Triple screens if I want to try that in the future. But the plan is a ultra wide screen running 2k. I do hope you get your base sorted so you can enjoy it again
Not wanting to disagree, imo i think you misunderstand what you may have heard, i would suggest if anything the screens need to be raised. Although you may get better results moving certain screen sizes closer and lower (everything is relative), i feel that is more important to get the center of screen at eye level, looking at the vid when op is sat on rig, if anything his eyes are all ready above the center, so moving down would make this a whole lot worse lol. Like said, everything is relative, if had larger monitors then that may have been the case.😉 😂
Yeah its a tricky one when you get started but I would say if you have been racing for a while and know you like it then you probably already have your answer, probably why you watched this video? If you are just getting into it I would start cheap & see where it takes you! Upgrading is half the fun :)
@@MichaelSmithRaces I clocked 70 hours in Assetto corsa, 3 years ago and then sold the gear. Now I miss it. Will try again and hopefully this time I get hooked for longer! A better setup might help! :)
@K11... if you have the extra cash and want to do it go for it. I've invested tonnes of money elsewhere for interests and after the maintenance and resale ended up pretty shallow. My triple setup was about 6k and worth it all day long 4 years later. Just jump in when you want and upgrade graphics cards when u want an update just invest in 2-4 k monitors for future proofing.
"I run at 120hrz locked" You should check to see if those monitors support VFR. If they do, you shouldn't lock your frame rate, as the monitor will adjust to your game's fps
@kainthereaper thanks for the comment. So far I have found that locking 120 is nicer than using VRR as then its really stable and the gpu is not running near its limits. I didnt find much visual difference going above 120, but I found a huge difference when using VRR if it dropped below 120. I hope to do a video on it. Do you use VFR / VRR and do you know roughly what framerate you run at?
@@MichaelSmithRaces My gpu locks to the max fps of both my monitor and vr headset. But that said I simply set the max fps to that of my monitor and call it a day. I also turn off v-sync since that interferes VFR. If 120 is the max those monitors can do you might as well lock, but if they can go higher but you can't lock to it, I'd still suggest letting them move up and down on their own. Generally if you can hit 120 locked you shouldn't see dips below 120 if you unlock it. But again it depends on everyone's rig, settings, etc.
