Amazing setup... You have been invested a lot and you got some of the most serious gadgets available nowadays. No toys, only true simracing passion. Cheers man!
Thanks Paul for your kind words 🙏 That‘s exactly the point and my intend 😊 took me about 45 years to find my passion 🫶 I invested all the money to achieve the most realistic simulator (for me) and yes therefore you need the best products 🤷🏻♂️ I love to quick jump in whenever I want to and do a quick lap on one of the most satisfying race tracks on this wonderful planet 👌 And the best thing I can do that in so many different race cars which I would never be able to drive in real 🤩 With the motion system, pedals, wheelbase it feels so authentic for me as possible and for sure don‘t forget VR 👌 Also I love to have the same steering wheel as in real so my collection is still growing 🙈 As reference to the real thing I drove the M4 Competition on track, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and the KTM X-Bow at RedBullRing and so I adjusted my setup to feel same and yes it does 🥰 It‘s all about passion mate 👌👍 race hard 😁✌️
@@pgeppl very nice design. I highly recommend using Superstrut steel track/conduit (home depot) instead of aluminum track. About half as expensive and 10 times as strong. It serves as conduit as well as track. How many wires do you have? Just kidding, i already know. Lots! Mine has 30. All tucked away neatly in strut. I have free hobby no ads website of my design with pics for my mobile flight sim. 5 monitors, 1 4090. I don't want to leave link without permission. Good luck!
Im a few months or a year behind in my progression. Started with mouse and keyboard, to a controller, to the farming sim wheel (controller was better), to G29 on a desk, to TH-8A added to the desk, to now the GT Track rig holds the G29 and accessories. Direct drive and load cell are next up on the list. Got the triple 32" 144hz ready to go and the pc is a beast. Flight Sim is amazing but I cant wait to have the full sim rig setup going
Just amazing… love it, when I stumble over some great diy builds! The music adds.. 😂 gives me so much inspiration to work on my rig. Thanks for the entertaining insight! 😊👌
Really nice setup. The amount of money spent in the span of 3-4 years really makes me wonder if you sell drugs or something. The nicest evolution is when you change to Cube Controls GT Pro and the motion of the car stops xD
Great to see another lunatic!! 🤪 just like me !! mounting and dismounting and little time to race🤭 Great great set up mate !! Next thing you can build is surge so you can also add tightning seatbelts when braking.....i did and love it
Mi más sincera enhorabuena, tienes todo lo que muchos soñamos tener. Este año es posible que me instale el mismo sistema de movimiento que tienes tú.... Casi tengo todo como tú.... pero aún me falta un poco..... ES INCREIBLE ESTE SET UP .... ❤
Thanks Alejandro for your kind words, really appreciate that 😊 Oh jeah that sounds great mate! You will love the motion system 👍 there are also cheaper systems on the market which do the same I guess, check this out www.simrig.se/ #simrig.se I decided to go with D-Box because it can handle heavy weights and it‘s the cleanest installation of all the systems! Ok and it was developed with real race drivers and licensed by the FIA 😉 race hard ✌️
awesome job. One of the coolest video i ever seen about SIM. I never wanted do join ferrari owners club, but i definatelly want to join your club! huge respect
@@pgeppl i thank you. I just make decision to spent 5k and start SIM racing seriously, with top gear i can have. Now i can proof to my wife, that my gear is entry level 😂🙈. Don’t you have somewhere detailed list of your gear over time and some tips etc please?
Wow, speechless. In short time so much progress. You´ve got the eye for detail, looks perfect to me. Have fun and enjoy! I fell into the rabbithole myself, but now I see where it can go! I like!
Thank you for your kind words! Indeed, a lot has evolved in a short span, but passion has a way of propelling things forward. I’m truly dedicated to this endeavor, and your support means a lot. Stay tuned for more exciting updates - the journey is just getting started! 🚀👏
Woww.... Perfect!! I advise you to buy the screen sheets, for the edges broo!! This way the screens will be united and the black divisions will not be noticeable and all 3 will appear to be on a single complete screen... It would improve the field of vision to 1000%. For the rest, congratulations, the pack is super complete. All the best!!✌️😎
Hallo Jose, Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad you like my setup. Also, a big thanks for your great suggestion about the Asus Bezel Free Kit. Believe it or not, I've already tried it out. However, I wasn't entirely convinced. You're right, the bezels do disappear, but then I noticed the edges become a bit blurry. The transition from one monitor to another always seems a bit fuzzy. Plus, if the monitors are not aligned to the millimeter and the angle is off, you get a misalignment in the image, creating a noticeable step that doesn't quite fit perfectly. I wasn't completely satisfied with it. Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion. I've actually found a much, much better solution for my simulator, as you might have seen in my latest videos on my channel. If you haven't seen them yet, I'd be thrilled if you could check out a few. It's about the new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch. This monitor is an absolute game-changer for sim racing. There are no bezels at all. It feels like you're sitting in a car, right behind the windshield. The immersion with this wide monitor is simply incredible. It's like truly sitting behind a car's windshield. I absolutely love this monitor. It's the best addition I've made to my simulator setup in recent times. Thanks for your comment. Enjoy browsing my channel! Best regards, Philipp.
Great job. I particularly like your pedals. The full cage is very useful. Music - I started to tap my feet, unforgiveable. Enjoy enjoy enjoy, thanks for sharing. Peace.
You are absolute right mate :) Started with normal stuff but because I love SimRacing that much and I want to achieve the most Immersive Experience in my living room I took them all :) And I love it everytime I use it. I am above 30k but if you buy all that stuff I use right now it would be cheaper for sure! 👍
@calvin drives thanks mate, I saw some setups with Philips Hue and my living room is also full with Philips Hues but not on my Rig right now. Have to investigate more time to see how this is working :)
since this video I also purchased the CubeControls F-Core which is really nice one and currently on the way is the Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 steering wheel which I connect with the simracingmachines.com/product/conversion-kit-plug-and-play-6x-current-fanatec-wheels/ to fit on my SC2 Ultimate ;) really curious about this real race car steering wheel! Have to do some racing the next weeks to create some content for all the simracing enthusiasts! also I start streaming on twitch if you are interessted. have a great day and if you have any questions, contact me 👍
Hey there! Absolutely no problem at all. In this video and my previous setup, I used 3x 32-inch BenQ 3203R monitors - solid choices. However, I'd highly recommend checking out one of my recent videos on the channel. You'll catch a glimpse of the game-changing Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch monitor, which takes Simracing immersion to a whole new level. The experience is incomparable to a triple-monitor setup, providing seamless immersion without any bezels or blurred boundaries when using a Bezel-Free Kit. It's not just unique; it's a game-changer. Plus, it's much simpler to integrate into any system compared to three monitors, especially in my case with a Full-Motion system. Feel free to explore my other videos; this might be the monitor you've been searching for. Happy racing! 🏁🕹️
Congratulations on the setup. Perfect. I live in Brazil and I'm starting my setup. I bought the structural aluminum profiles, could you share your cockpit measurements? I would be very grateful.
hi there, this is the standards P1X Cockpit with all the profiles which you buy in the whole package at sim-lab.eu they also provide all the measurements for each alu profile, I guess you will find everything there :)
Yo Bro that sound fantastic 🤩 And another journey begins 😁🙃👏 Have fun and race hard mate 👌 Who knows, maybe we meet us on the track some day 😊🤝 enjoy what you love 👍
@@pgeppl You're welcome! I'm hoping to have motion with the next couple month's when I pick up the Elab RS Mega+. I'm in the process of upgrading everything on my rig so my spending needs to be dialed back a bit.
@@pgeppl ASR4 8020 rig with all mounts. ASR bucket seat. 4 transducers on 4 sides. Buttkicker below seat. Already have triple monitors (2k) and 4080 to run it. Currently on CSL DD, V3 Pedals and Formula V2.5 Steering Wheel.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that and although I have no words, cable management is a mystic thing that I will never understand or solve on this motion system. BUT the good thing is when I sit in the Simulator I can't see the cables 😁
I have no interest for active pedals and btw there is a review about my setup ruclips.net/video/1MALjMZuZpI/видео.htmlsi=xrMa_hB0GRVOseBS and for all other details check my website ;)
Hallo Philipp, Would you mind to share the spec for your phenomenal set-up and is there anything you would do differently now? Liebe Grüße aus Neuseeland! Gottfried
Hallo Gottfried, Neuseeland 🧐 Hört sich traumhaft an ☺️ Ich glaube alles was du suchst findest du hier: pgeppl.at Ich würd mir gleich das kaufen was ich jetzt verwende und würde die Sachen die ich vorher hatte nicht mehr kaufen und mir damit viel Geld sparen 😁 Lg aus Villach ✌️ Bei weiteren Fragen einfach melden 🤝
I watched this vid again really in detail and couldn’t find your CENTER SPEAKER… where did you mounted that ? I just bought a Logitech 5.1 sound setup and thinking where to mount the center speaker. And where did you placed your subwoofer ? The help/advice is highly appreciated !
Thanks for that mate 🙏 Really appreciate that! Center speaker is bellow my pedals 😁👌 and the Subwoofer is on the right side of my Simulator! It's too big to hide! teufelaudio.at/concept-e-450-digital-51-set-104762000?partner_id=sea-at..google.154490946.182969252335.&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADpOuA5YanRyRovKmiA3uuVifKGyA&gclid=Cj0KCQiA_9u5BhCUARIsABbMSPtdsa1nkDbhn3WEkI8wkYvkT2F6XJ1L6pk_EiBnooY2QGcPvAQAulsaAmruEALw_wcB
You are right Max, thanks 😊 I built this roll bar because I also can slide a roof under the top profiles and that gives me the additional immersive punch 🤩 and without that it looks like this and I can use my Varjo Aero VR for some races and practice sessions 👌 I love racing 🫶 and I want as much realism as I can get 🤜🤛
Nice to see the dedication, I began on a PS4 with a stand, I am now rigged up with a half decent PC, Nothing high end but it is enough to run triples if I decide to go triples, It will probably be the next upgrade as I only just upgraded the GPU, Again nothing special or high end but enough to what I wants, A good friend of mine give me a 27 inch curved Asus TUF monitor, They still 300 pounds each, It's too much at the moment, And I am using my TV restricting me to 60hz, But I am not sure if I can mix an match, Use the Asus TUF as a middle screen an get some cheaper monitors on the outside screens, After using my TV, I can't use a 27 inch, lol, I am going to start using the TUF monitor soon though just for the separate screen, When I start streaming, I am still learning a lot of the tracks, I got a thing for AMS 2 at the moment, I will be honest, I can't afford iRacing dedicating myself to another subscription with the cost of cars an tracks, It way out of my meager Sim Racing budget, Shows though Sim racing can be done with not a huge amount of money, And over time, It do take a while when you start like I did lol but, Yeah still for a lot of people especially the younger people, This Sim racing lark can be expensive, It's great there is a big used Sim racing market, I was using a used 1660 super for a while with no issues, So my advice for anyone who wants to start Sim Racing, Get a used PC instead of getting a console, Sim Racing so much better on a PC.... Yeah you put a nice rig together bro, Loving the bars on the top, Much more stable than if it was not there I would imagine, I admire peoples dedication putting rigs like this together as it's not easy unless you bank account allows for it, lol.... I also want to start learning MSFS, Be great to fly over my estate, lol.... Yeah nice rig bro....
Thanks for your great response mate :) I see you feel the same passion for Simracing as I do 👌I totally agree with you when starting Simracing you should do it with a PC because you have so much more options as on a Console. Anyway I started also with a PS4 😁 ACC was my starting point on the PC and I enjoyed every race but on youtube I always saw and read from iRacing that this simulation is used by most real race driver because of the realism so I tried it --> addicted 😂 Dude keep on racing and live your passion 👍 have a great day
@@pgeppl Top Reply bro, And I thought I was a tramp using a PS4 to begin with lol, Only joking. Even the PS4 sim racers deserve to Sim Race, lol... Yeah I could be more passionate about the Sim Racing stuff though, I was when I started, I lost my Brother one Sunday out of the blue nearly 10 months ago, Still getting days when it's like a fresh wound, I miss my Brother so bad, I will be ulpoading a video soon showing the Graffiti legacy my Brother left is staggering, Even European Graff writers labelled my Brother the king of Graffiti, So proud of my Brother's Graffiti name making the European Graffiti walls, Extremely talented with Art, Will not be forgotten that is for sure, I am leaving the video I will do for my Brothers Art work on the 1 year Anniversary, 29th August, Only a video showing the sketches my Brother done, My Brother made the BBC, I can't do bigger than that, lol, At least my Brother have been immortalized by his Art work... It's bee a tough year so yeah the Sim Racing helps my mind get away from past misery, It is why I love sim Racing so much, A great sense of achievement when you get right next to world record times, My plan is getting as close to the no.1 spot on the Nürburgring, I was always 1st place on the PS4 AC Nurburgring lobby, Not many could stay with me, lol, I put a few vids up ages ago, After loosing my Brother I needed a break, I am back on it now though, I feel, I would be good at iRacing because of the competition level would naturally make me faster, Maybe after the summer I will get on iRacing, Got a few bad habits to take care of, lol, But yeah in time I do plan on starting some iRacing, My thing is AMS 2 at the moment, AMS 2 got something about it that is addictive, If you ain't jumped on AMS 2 I would say try it.... Yeah I will get on iRacing soon enough, Time flies by when you sim racing so another 6 months or so ain't long, lol.... Thanks for the reply bro, Will subscribe to those who find time to reply, Stay safe bro, An keep iRacing it.....
@@mad-b264 sorry to read that from your brother mate 😔 You are doing it absolut right! You found something which helped you out during hard times, was nearly the same with me. I didn't lost someone but Simracing helped me out during hard times and distracted me from bad thoughts. Find your passion and you enjoy life 😁 I guess I tried nearly all of Racing Sims on the Market but finally I landed on iRacing. Thats the Sim that feels best for me and I love the Competition System. No other Sim has such a great and big offer to race with different cars, tracks and people they are on your level. And what I really love is that in iRacing are less Kids 😂 That was awful when I started with GT Sport! Anyway you should try, if you not tried already, Assetto Corsa (without Competizione ;)). This is really cheap and when you use the ContentManager with it you will love it too! Not for online racing although you can do that but for Assetto Corsa there are endless Cars and Tracks and other Mods available for FREE !!! Just use Google for example: Assetto Corsa Porsche GT3 Cup mod and you get it. And with the ComponentManager its installed with 1 click and I only use the content manager for selecting track, cars, weather, everything. Give it a try mate! assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html Enjoy Racing and have a great day! btw right now there is the 24h Nürburgring Race live on RUclips! crazy guys in brutal fast cars ✌
Probably should have read some of your other replies first :) I see you've moved to a single monitor now, do you miss the extra FOV from triples at all?
Thanks mate! Here’s my previous setup with the triple screens, which I mounted on my simulator using a combination of the Sim-Lab triple mount and integrated mount. Since my simulator is on a D-Box motion system, everything moves together, shaking and vibrating just like in a real car. However, this setup didn’t affect the monitors at all!
@@feraligatrs Not a second!!! 57" is the future of Immersive Simracing and so easy to use also when doing VR too ;) No bezel, No NVidia Surroung, No connect/disconnect monitors. Just RACE and enjoy :)
Hi there! Thanks for your insightful comment! I absolutely agree that VR offers an unparalleled level of immersion in sim racing. As I mentioned, I’ve also experienced the incredible depth and realism VR brings to the table, especially with the Varjo Aero, which I feature in my video. It’s truly a game changer. However, I’ve pointed out a significant issue with VR: the discomfort it can cause over extended periods. I’ve found that limiting my sessions to about an hour helps prevent eye strain, but it’s definitely a drawback worth considering. Regarding streaming. While VR offers an incredible personal experience, it doesn’t translate as well to viewers on a stream. The use of OpenXR and the XR Tunnel for OBS Studio is a neat solution, but it still falls short of capturing the full VR experience for the audience. It tends to show only a single eye’s perspective, which isn’t as engaging as traditional setups. Speaking of setups, I’m excited I brought up my new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch display. It’s more than just a monitor; it’s like a windshield that immerses you into the game. I’d love for you to check out my channel for a closer look at how this setup transforms the sim racing experience. Thanks again for your comment. Your observations and insights are greatly appreciated. Best regards, Philipp
hi there, and did you decide with which setup you go??? Do you know my newest Race Video where I show the new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9NC 58" ??? check this out! this Monitor is a GameChanger!
Wow PRO Level! Inspiring! Beautiful realism and work . 3 questions: - re: pedals, why did you go from Hksvld + to simtag hydraulic, why did u like it better? Thoughts on Astek pedals or HPP simulation hudraulic pedals? - re: seq. shifter, why didnt you go w the pro sim seq shifter intead of the hksvld seq shifter? - re: motion rig, what made you decide on dbox motion vs. Cubic or PT Actuator motion options for realism and travel? Thnx
Hi Tomas and thanks for your good questions, really appreciate every positive feedback :) I went from Heusinkveld Ultimate+ to Simtag Ashley pedals because I want the most realism in my simulator as possible, Simtag pedals are used in real race cars, so here it is and I have to say that was a good decision! Never had better feeling and control on the Brake. I don't tried Astek or HPP and I haven't planed that because I already have the ones I love. Shifter is easy to answer, I bought the Heusinkveld Seq Shifter before Pro Sim had a Seq Shifter in their program, also the Heusinkveld one fits my setting perfect and feels brilliant. Last and best question I like to answer because it's also quite easy, wanted the best, got the best and most authentic for a GT3/F1 simulator I guess. I invested hours of research which motion to go, ptactuator, simrig.se, dbox or sfx100 self build. target was to end with a simulator where everything is onboard and only the 4 actuator have contact to ground --> complete immersion! Weight is a big problem, so no sfx100, and no simrig.se (before v2 which can more weight). next the optical behavior because my simulator is next to my couch in my living room and I don't want so many Power Supply's, Amplifiers, cabling, so no PT-Actuators, what still on the list --> D-Box, hey with the smallest travel but it's what, official licensed by the FIA, developed with real race guys --> bought --> no complain --> fantastic, highly configurable, you feel a stone on the track, going over curbs, you feel them under your ass, there is no delay from iRacing out to D-Box motion. complete system hidden under seat and pedals. Hope I could answer your questions, have a great day
@@pgeppl thanks for your reply. Lastly re: motion, did you also consider Qubic and/ or traction loss? Looking for a good traction loss system and a great rig that can easily go from GT to an F1 position like the Motion Simulations LC rig? ruclips.net/video/pj3DWLrjQzc/видео.html * I wonder which VR you will upgrade to next Meta Quest 3 or Apple VR ?:)
@@tomasartica because you sent a video from Karl Gosling, check out his channel he did a video with traction loss system from RaceAtHome and I wanted that but importing it to AT only costs 1k and so I canceled this idea ;) I do not need to upgrade my VR, I am happy with my Varjo Aero and don't like anything from Meta ;) Also AppleVR is a complete different approach to do something Apple allows you but nothing todo with SimRacing I guess.
I am not too far off, but I have stopped at VR at the moment, I love the immersion with motion and VR, I use one 32" curved monitor for everything else. What do you use more? Tripples or VR?
Hi Uldis, glad to hear that you are also such a enthusiast ;) I mostly use my Triple Screens because it's easier when I just want todo some quick practice or racing. I love VR but it is more stressful for my eyes and about after 1 hour my eyes start a bit burning. I guess this has something todo with 90fps and less because on Valve Index I was able to do longer races without pain in my eyes. 80% Triples 20% VR I would say. have a great day
Thanks mate :) This are Lift rubber pads which I bought in a hardware store! It helps with vibration but will not reduce it completely but I have no other option because under my Apartment their are some Neighbors which I will not disturb all the time ;)
@@pgeppl Good to know thanks! I'm dealing with the same thing so hopefully this will allow me to turn my rumble motors up a little bit without annoying the neighbours
Hello and thank you for your comment. I appreciate your engagement, yet I have a question for you as well. Did you watch the entire video, or only the first few seconds? If you had watched more closely, you might have noticed my Varjo Aero VR headset mounted to my right. Moreover, if you had viewed even a few minutes of the video - which isn't too long - you would have seen footage using the VR headset. Through the VR lens, I demonstrate racing with an Open XR tunnel using the Varjo Aero. I do a lot of racing in VR but don't often make videos about it. I value your feedback, but I must mention that I receive many comments with similar queries that are clearly addressed in the video. Sometimes, I find this baffling and it can be somewhat disheartening.
@@pgeppl I watched the videos but was mainly focused on the D-box dampers. Also in the beginning I don't know where to look, your setup is so immense and impressive that it did take me a few looks before I actually noticed the headset. I would recommend that is these queries baffle you and can be somewhat disheartening, simply do not answer. It was an honest mistake on my part with no ill intent. I stopped watching before then end where you do put it on. I can understand your frustration Good luck with your future content.
Awesome rig! I am just starting to research and learn more about sim racing. If I wanted to duplicate your rig, how do I build one? I am not very mechanical.
Thanks a lot mate 🙏 I listed all my parts on my website! pgeppl.at Get the frame from youtube.com/@sim-lab_official?si=BW2q0jtLtIey7u9h and screw it together! It's pretty easy 👌👍
thanks a lot :) indeed it is the best thing happened to me 😁 spending all the money into my passion and I love to race with it 👌 you can do this too for sure 👍 see you on the track mate 🤜🤛
Thank you! I'm also thrilled with the image quality. I'm currently unsure if I captured these shots with my iPhone 13 Pro Max in 4K at 60fps or with my Elgato Facecam Pro, also set to 4K at 60fps. Those are my go-to cameras. Recently, I've added an InstaLink 360 4K to the mix, although it's rarely used. It's possible that for this specific recording, I stuck with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Have a wonderful day!
thanks, good question, I combined the standard triple monitor mount from sim-lab with their integrated monitor mount and the result is TripleScreen attached to your Rig 👍
Is there an extension like you have Simcore but for Fanatec Podium DD2 ? Do you know any ? And also you had Heusinkveld Ultimates +… you liked them ? You went with other pedals…why specific ?
I do not know any Fanatec extension mate 🤷🏻♂️ Heusinkveld Ulti+ are top pedals but I just wanted a hydraulic brake as in real race cars ;) thats all why 😉
Can you tell us more about the difference between the different level of equipment? I am really curious was it worth it to upgrade from Fanatec V3 pedals to Heusinkveld(if i saw correctly) and then to Simtag? Apart from obviously different feeling, how were your laptimes affected?
Hi Vassil, good question :) In General I get faster over time :) More Racing, more experience, better trailbraking, ... Fanatec was a good brake but after I sold all Fanatec stuff I also wanted other Pedals where I can adjust much more as on the Fanatec V3! So I bought the Heusinkveld Ultimate which are brilliant in everything! Later on I switched to Simtag Ashley because I want as much realism on my simulator as possible so I decided to go with Hydraulic Break System as they are also in real Race cars. I guess I also got faster again because my Muscle Memory is working with hydraulic resistance much better as with the Heusinkveld. But this is just my personal feeeling and I am pretty sure there are enough people out there which are much faster than I am ;) Important thing is that you have fun :) Hope I could answer your question. Have a great day, race hard!
😂 I wish I could fix this but I have no ambitions to extend all the cables from PC to my Motion Simulator just to hide them 🤷🏻♂️ When I sit in the cockpit, I don't see them at all 😁👌👍
Very cool rig! I bet you already tried the free bezel kit but why not mount it? I drive on a triple Odyssey G7 setup. I spinned all monitors 180 degree so I was able to lower them 1,5 centimeters closer to my wheelbase. In settings you spin your monitors 180° also and done. The triple G7 look even better when spinned, and I gained around 300 square centimeter more area surface. When I look at the frame of your BenQ 32´´ you will gain around 400-500 square centimeters if you spin them.
Thanks and yes I tried the bezel kit but this does not fit very well with my settings from 57degree side monitors and my BenQ EX3203R Curved Displays. Also I tried to mount them inverted but this is not possible with the vesa adapters from simlab, so I cutted the LightSensor from the middle screen and lowered them nearly direct to my wheel base ;) works. anyway thanks for your tips, appreciate that 👍
My fellow simracer friend, did you already got the Simucube Active pedals ? It simulates ABS and all other nice effects like you already seen for sure… And is Simucube 2 Ultimate a very BIG upgrade from Fanatec Podium DD2 ? I have now DD2 and thinking to upgrade to Simucube 2 PRO or Ultimate but there must be a big differance otherwise it’s not worth the high price for me personally. Never tried Simucube 2 PRO or Ultimate so I ask for your experience. Thanks in advance ! 🏁🏁🏁
Hellas Simracing friend :) Thanks for your kind words. To be honest I was thinking to get the Active Pedals but I want to stay to the real race cars as close I can and so I will stay with my Simtag Ashley which I really love :) My decision to switch from DD1 to SC2 Ultimate (Pro would have also been enough) was that I wanted to use different Wheels and also to get rid of their QuickRelease which I don't like and with which I nearly knocked me out several times when switching the steering wheels. In my personal feelings I get more feedback in the simulation as I got with Fanatec. Also I had always this "clonk" in the DD1 when racing, it happens maybe 1-2 times during a race but mostly in corners where the FFB going off for 1 sec. so I always crashed at this moment and this they never got fixed so this was my second point why I switched and the last and maybe most important thing for me was that with SC2 I can use some extensions to have more distance between Wheelbase and steering wheel so I was able to lower my middle screen as much as possible and that feels so sick :) I hope I could help you a bit with your decision, if you still have some questions, just ask :) Have a great day mate
I wear glasses with frames over the ears. Are your lenses for everyday or only racing? What is that headband for your lenses? I've never seen those before!
Hi Sam, I use this ones: vr-lens-lab.com/prescription-lens-inserts/vr-frame-virtual-reality-glasses/ before I got the correct Lens Adapters for my Aero I purchased this ones and wear them now when racing on my Triples because they have all this filter included and I need some glasses when doing PC stuff.
Wow awesome setup. I love it. Can i ask, Is ur monitors directly connected to the actual rig? Did you buy any stand or holder for it? If its directly connected, does it not misaligned when the rig moves?
Hello, thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoy my setup. What you see here is my old Triple-Monitor system. I mounted it on my rig using a Triple-Monitor stand and SimLab’s Integrated Monitor Mount, ensuring everything on my rig moves with the motion. The only contact with the ground is through the motion actuators. In this system with Triple Screens, I had no issues with motion, but additional aluminum profiles from SimLab can provide extra support. In my recent videos, you’ll notice I switched to the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch monitor, which is even easier to attach to this system and moves with the motion. However, extra aluminum profiles were needed to support the monitor due to Samsung’s VESA 100 Mount. It’s a bit inconvenient for such a large panel, but everything on the rig, except the PC (wall-mounted), moves with the motion. I hope this information helps! Enjoy my videos, and perhaps we’ll meet on the track.

Perfect example of what my mother always said, first look at how long you do your hobby and then see how much money you want to invest
Love the rig and all you have done! I bet the immersion and experience just to ride it, brings such an immense joy!
Cheers!
Thanks for your kind words mate 😊🙏 And yes it feels just awesome and I love to race with it 🤩👌👍
Im a few months or a year behind in my progression. Started with mouse and keyboard, to a controller, to the farming sim wheel (controller was better), to G29 on a desk, to TH-8A added to the desk, to now the GT Track rig holds the G29 and accessories. Direct drive and load cell are next up on the list. Got the triple 32" 144hz ready to go and the pc is a beast. Flight Sim is amazing but I cant wait to have the full sim rig setup going
wow thats a great journey you are on! awesome mate :) that so much fun to race, upgrade, race, improve, enjoy, race, upgrade, ... 😁👍
This is the BEST video I have seen on this subject! No talking...you let the video "speak" for itself!!!! BRAVO!!!
thank you so much for your kind words, really appreciate that mate 🤜🤛👍
Just amazing… love it, when I stumble over some great diy builds! The music adds.. 😂 gives me so much inspiration to work on my rig. Thanks for the entertaining insight! 😊👌
Thank you mate 😁👍 Like that you enjoyed it 🤩👌👍
really digging the piano lounge jazz 🎹🎼🎵🎶
Really nice setup. The amount of money spent in the span of 3-4 years really makes me wonder if you sell drugs or something. The nicest evolution is when you change to Cube Controls GT Pro and the motion of the car stops xD
Great to see another lunatic!! 🤪 just like me !! mounting and dismounting and little time to race🤭 Great great set up mate !! Next thing you can build is surge so you can also add tightning seatbelts when braking.....i did and love it
Mi más sincera enhorabuena, tienes todo lo que muchos soñamos tener. Este año es posible que me instale el mismo sistema de movimiento que tienes tú.... Casi tengo todo como tú.... pero aún me falta un poco..... ES INCREIBLE ESTE SET UP .... ❤
Thanks Alejandro for your kind words, really appreciate that 😊 Oh jeah that sounds great mate! You will love the motion system 👍 there are also cheaper systems on the market which do the same I guess, check this out www.simrig.se/ #simrig.se I decided to go with D-Box because it can handle heavy weights and it‘s the cleanest installation of all the systems! Ok and it was developed with real race drivers and licensed by the FIA 😉 race hard ✌️
awesome job. One of the coolest video i ever seen about SIM. I never wanted do join ferrari owners club, but i definatelly want to join your club! huge respect
thanks mate for your kind words 🙏 really appreciate that 😁🤜🤛👍
@@pgeppl i thank you. I just make decision to spent 5k and start SIM racing seriously, with top gear i can have. Now i can proof to my wife, that my gear is entry level 😂🙈. Don’t you have somewhere detailed list of your gear over time and some tips etc please?
Beautiful Rig!! Thank you for sharing! Good driving too!!
Thanks you so much for your kind comment mate :)
Wow, speechless. In short time so much progress. You´ve got the eye for detail, looks perfect to me. Have fun and enjoy!
I fell into the rabbithole myself, but now I see where it can go!
I like!
Thank you for your kind words! Indeed, a lot has evolved in a short span, but passion has a way of propelling things forward. I’m truly dedicated to this endeavor, and your support means a lot. Stay tuned for more exciting updates - the journey is just getting started! 🚀👏
Woww.... Perfect!!
I advise you to buy the screen sheets, for the edges broo!!
This way the screens will be united and the black divisions will not be noticeable and all 3 will appear to be on a single complete screen... It would improve the field of vision to 1000%. For the rest, congratulations, the pack is super complete.
All the best!!✌️😎
Hallo Jose,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad you like my setup. Also, a big thanks for your great suggestion about the Asus Bezel Free Kit. Believe it or not, I've already tried it out. However, I wasn't entirely convinced. You're right, the bezels do disappear, but then I noticed the edges become a bit blurry. The transition from one monitor to another always seems a bit fuzzy. Plus, if the monitors are not aligned to the millimeter and the angle is off, you get a misalignment in the image, creating a noticeable step that doesn't quite fit perfectly. I wasn't completely satisfied with it.
Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion. I've actually found a much, much better solution for my simulator, as you might have seen in my latest videos on my channel. If you haven't seen them yet, I'd be thrilled if you could check out a few. It's about the new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch. This monitor is an absolute game-changer for sim racing. There are no bezels at all. It feels like you're sitting in a car, right behind the windshield. The immersion with this wide monitor is simply incredible. It's like truly sitting behind a car's windshield. I absolutely love this monitor. It's the best addition I've made to my simulator setup in recent times.
Thanks for your comment. Enjoy browsing my channel!
Best regards,
Philipp.
Great job. I particularly like your pedals. The full cage is very useful. Music - I started to tap my feet, unforgiveable. Enjoy enjoy enjoy, thanks for sharing. Peace.
thanks for your kind words mate 😁 appreciate that 👍
the Simtag Ashley are really nice pedals :)
It looks like you’ve built what we all wish for! All no expense spared top of the line gear! You must have at least 30k into this
You are absolute right mate :) Started with normal stuff but because I love SimRacing that much and I want to achieve the most Immersive Experience in my living room I took them all :) And I love it everytime I use it. I am above 30k but if you buy all that stuff I use right now it would be cheaper for sure! 👍
And now, having skimmed through your channel content, I have decided to sub.
appreciate that too mate 😁 thanks a lot! wooohooo
*tear drops*....this this....this is marvelous 😮😮
Thanks, happy to read that you like it 😁
Awsome setup, really liked the top bar’s! Would be perfect to combine with a full roof..
But we need to talk about cable management 🙈😉
Thanks mate 😁 and yes perfect with a roof, ohhh I have one but not mounted for filming 😁👌👍 what is cable management? 😂🙈
@calvin drives thanks mate, I saw some setups with Philips Hue and my living room is also full with Philips Hues but not on my Rig right now. Have to investigate more time to see how this is working :)
That is a seriously awesome sim rig set up !! Very impressive indeed !!
Yes indeed 🤩 Thanks mate! love it and makes me happy every day 😊🙃👍
@@pgeppl It would make me happy too, I wouldn't leave my house, ever haha !!
We will be discussing this video on the next episode of the iRacers Lounge podcast! Nice rig.
Wow that sounds fantastic 😁 Here is the full spec of my simulator 😉 ruclips.net/video/1MALjMZuZpI/видео.html
since this video I also purchased the CubeControls F-Core which is really nice one and currently on the way is the Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 steering wheel which I connect with the simracingmachines.com/product/conversion-kit-plug-and-play-6x-current-fanatec-wheels/ to fit on my SC2 Ultimate ;) really curious about this real race car steering wheel! Have to do some racing the next weeks to create some content for all the simracing enthusiasts! also I start streaming on twitch if you are interessted. have a great day and if you have any questions, contact me 👍
Congratulations very amazin setup🎉❤
Thanks a lot, was a great journey till now 😊 curios what's coming next 😁
This is... INCREDIBLE!!! Absolute goals brotha!
thanks mate :)
That’s an amazing rig! Hopefully someday I’ll get there. I’m currently at your NXT Level racing phase.
thanks mate, oh jeah, I guess you are on a good way 😁👍 Important thing is that you have fun!
Haha me too... GTTrackm Moza R5, ES Wheel en mod, SRP-lites... and a 34 inch ultrawide and a Quest 2... And having lots of fun!!
Unless I missed it, I don't think I saw what monitors you are using for your triples. Thanks!
Hey there! Absolutely no problem at all. In this video and my previous setup, I used 3x 32-inch BenQ 3203R monitors - solid choices. However, I'd highly recommend checking out one of my recent videos on the channel. You'll catch a glimpse of the game-changing Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch monitor, which takes Simracing immersion to a whole new level. The experience is incomparable to a triple-monitor setup, providing seamless immersion without any bezels or blurred boundaries when using a Bezel-Free Kit. It's not just unique; it's a game-changer. Plus, it's much simpler to integrate into any system compared to three monitors, especially in my case with a Full-Motion system. Feel free to explore my other videos; this might be the monitor you've been searching for. Happy racing! 🏁🕹️
Congratulations on the setup. Perfect. I live in Brazil and I'm starting my setup. I bought the structural aluminum profiles, could you share your cockpit measurements? I would be very grateful.
hi there, this is the standards P1X Cockpit with all the profiles which you buy in the whole package at sim-lab.eu they also provide all the measurements for each alu profile, I guess you will find everything there :)
wow that is so awesome dude i cant wait till the day that i finally have and build a motion sim ughhh
Thanks Lightning McDrift 😁 I am sure you will love it 👌👍 race hard ✌️
You are Amazingly crazy . Love it
Nice tiny DMC Delorean on the top xD
Thank you! This was a wonderful part of my childhood and made it truly magical.
Bro I have your first setup haha. G29 with pedals, seat and yeah. But I have a pc and ps4. But I love your setup! Amazing
Yo Bro that sound fantastic 🤩 And another journey begins 😁🙃👏 Have fun and race hard mate 👌 Who knows, maybe we meet us on the track some day 😊🤝 enjoy what you love 👍
Solo hay una palabra… IMPRESIONANTE. 🏎️💨💨
Thank you José 😊 appreciate that 🤜🤛👍
Looks great 👍🏻 fully loaded. 🎉
Great setup, good to see another madman just like me…..few $$$ in that setup but why not….still way cheaper than real thing.👍
Thats it mate 😁👌👍
dream rig for most of us good job mate

@@kunalsarhadi3768 sounds amazing :) enjoy mate!
Awesome man! Very inspiring!
Thanks mate 🙌
Just like me you are missing the cheapest piece of the whole kit: cable management.
Beautiful, man!
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that and although I have no words, cable management is a mystic thing that I will never understand or solve on this motion system. BUT the good thing is when I sit in the Simulator I can't see the cables 😁
@@pgeppl Thats exactly how I think about it hahahahaha
When are the Simucube FFB pedals arriving? Any thoughts about doing reviews on your equipment?
I have no interest for active pedals and btw there is a review about my setup ruclips.net/video/1MALjMZuZpI/видео.htmlsi=xrMa_hB0GRVOseBS and for all other details check my website ;)
Hallo Philipp,
Would you mind to share the spec for your phenomenal set-up and is there anything you would do differently now?
Liebe Grüße aus Neuseeland!

Hallo Gottfried, Neuseeland 🧐 Hört sich traumhaft an ☺️ Ich glaube alles was du suchst findest du hier: pgeppl.at Ich würd mir gleich das kaufen was ich jetzt verwende und würde die Sachen die ich vorher hatte nicht mehr kaufen und mir damit viel Geld sparen 😁 Lg aus Villach ✌️ Bei weiteren Fragen einfach melden 🤝
This is every 'boys' sim rig dreams ❤
I watched this vid again really in detail and couldn’t find your CENTER SPEAKER… where did you mounted that ? I just bought a Logitech 5.1 sound setup and thinking where to mount the center speaker. And where did you placed your subwoofer ? The help/advice is highly appreciated !
Thanks for that mate 🙏 Really appreciate that! Center speaker is bellow my pedals 😁👌 and the Subwoofer is on the right side of my Simulator!

Congrats .. amazing rig :)
Wish i could take it for a spin round the block 🤭
Very cool setup 😎👍
Thanks mate 😁👍
What an interesting cockpit! Looks very individual!
You are right Max, thanks 😊 I built this roll bar because I also can slide a roof under the top profiles and that gives me the additional immersive punch 🤩 and without that it looks like this and I can use my Varjo Aero VR for some races and practice sessions 👌 I love racing 🫶 and I want as much realism as I can get 🤜🤛
@@pgeppl wow. That sounds like you really love your hobby. That is great🔥🔥🔥Wish you a good luck!!!
looks killer absolutely killer!!!
Thanks Tire_Shredder 😂 I do my best 👌👍 more to come 😉 the addiction hit me hard 🤷🏻♂️

thanks mate 🙃
I love how it looks so compact even if it's not.
Thanks mate 😁 My current setup with 57" Samsung looks even more compact and feels just awesome 🤩👍🤝
Excellent setup Philipp!
Thanks 😁👍
And now I got some insperation. I guess Its time to spend even more money on the rig..... Awsome rig man gj :)
thanks :) once you start with that you become so addicted 😁👍
Parabéns pelo seu setup!! um dia eu chego perto!! kkkkk
Thanks mate 🙏 All the best for you 😊👍
Nice to see the dedication, I began on a PS4 with a stand, I am now rigged up with a half decent PC, Nothing high end but it is enough to run triples if I decide to go triples, It will probably be the next upgrade as I only just upgraded the GPU, Again nothing special or high end but enough to what I wants, A good friend of mine give me a 27 inch curved Asus TUF monitor, They still 300 pounds each, It's too much at the moment, And I am using my TV restricting me to 60hz, But I am not sure if I can mix an match, Use the Asus TUF as a middle screen an get some cheaper monitors on the outside screens, After using my TV, I can't use a 27 inch, lol, I am going to start using the TUF monitor soon though just for the separate screen, When I start streaming, I am still learning a lot of the tracks, I got a thing for AMS 2 at the moment, I will be honest, I can't afford iRacing dedicating myself to another subscription with the cost of cars an tracks, It way out of my meager Sim Racing budget, Shows though Sim racing can be done with not a huge amount of money, And over time, It do take a while when you start like I did lol but, Yeah still for a lot of people especially the younger people, This Sim racing lark can be expensive, It's great there is a big used Sim racing market, I was using a used 1660 super for a while with no issues, So my advice for anyone who wants to start Sim Racing, Get a used PC instead of getting a console, Sim Racing so much better on a PC....
Yeah you put a nice rig together bro, Loving the bars on the top, Much more stable than if it was not there I would imagine, I admire peoples dedication putting rigs like this together as it's not easy unless you bank account allows for it, lol....
I also want to start learning MSFS, Be great to fly over my estate, lol....
Yeah nice rig bro....
Thanks for your great response mate :) I see you feel the same passion for Simracing as I do 👌I totally agree with you when starting Simracing you should do it with a PC because you have so much more options as on a Console. Anyway I started also with a PS4 😁 ACC was my starting point on the PC and I enjoyed every race but on youtube I always saw and read from iRacing that this simulation is used by most real race driver because of the realism so I tried it --> addicted 😂 Dude keep on racing and live your passion 👍 have a great day
@@pgeppl Top Reply bro, And I thought I was a tramp using a PS4 to begin with lol, Only joking. Even the PS4 sim racers deserve to Sim Race, lol...
Yeah I could be more passionate about the Sim Racing stuff though, I was when I started, I lost my Brother one Sunday out of the blue nearly 10 months ago, Still getting days when it's like a fresh wound, I miss my Brother so bad, I will be ulpoading a video soon showing the Graffiti legacy my Brother left is staggering, Even European Graff writers labelled my Brother the king of Graffiti, So proud of my Brother's Graffiti name making the European Graffiti walls, Extremely talented with Art, Will not be forgotten that is for sure, I am leaving the video I will do for my Brothers Art work on the 1 year Anniversary, 29th August, Only a video showing the sketches my Brother done, My Brother made the BBC, I can't do bigger than that, lol, At least my Brother have been immortalized by his Art work...
It's bee a tough year so yeah the Sim Racing helps my mind get away from past misery, It is why I love sim Racing so much, A great sense of achievement when you get right next to world record times, My plan is getting as close to the no.1 spot on the Nürburgring, I was always 1st place on the PS4 AC Nurburgring lobby, Not many could stay with me, lol, I put a few vids up ages ago, After loosing my Brother I needed a break, I am back on it now though, I feel, I would be good at iRacing because of the competition level would naturally make me faster, Maybe after the summer I will get on iRacing, Got a few bad habits to take care of, lol, But yeah in time I do plan on starting some iRacing, My thing is AMS 2 at the moment, AMS 2 got something about it that is addictive, If you ain't jumped on AMS 2 I would say try it....
Yeah I will get on iRacing soon enough, Time flies by when you sim racing so another 6 months or so ain't long, lol....
Thanks for the reply bro, Will subscribe to those who find time to reply, Stay safe bro, An keep iRacing it.....
@@mad-b264 sorry to read that from your brother mate 😔 You are doing it absolut right! You found something which helped you out during hard times, was nearly the same with me. I didn't lost someone but Simracing helped me out during hard times and distracted me from bad thoughts. Find your passion and you enjoy life 😁 I guess I tried nearly all of Racing Sims on the Market but finally I landed on iRacing. Thats the Sim that feels best for me and I love the Competition System. No other Sim has such a great and big offer to race with different cars, tracks and people they are on your level. And what I really love is that in iRacing are less Kids 😂 That was awful when I started with GT Sport! Anyway you should try, if you not tried already, Assetto Corsa (without Competizione ;)). This is really cheap and when you use the ContentManager with it you will love it too! Not for online racing although you can do that but for Assetto Corsa there are endless Cars and Tracks and other Mods available for FREE !!! Just use Google for example: Assetto Corsa Porsche GT3 Cup mod and you get it. And with the ComponentManager its installed with 1 click and I only use the content manager for selecting track, cars, weather, everything. Give it a try mate! assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html Enjoy Racing and have a great day! btw right now there is the 24h Nürburgring Race live on RUclips! crazy guys in brutal fast cars ✌
Great setup! I'd love to hear how to mounted the monitors and stopped them from wobbling around.
Probably should have read some of your other replies first :)
I see you've moved to a single monitor now, do you miss the extra FOV from triples at all?
Thanks mate! Here’s my previous setup with the triple screens, which I mounted on my simulator using a combination of the Sim-Lab triple mount and integrated mount. Since my simulator is on a D-Box motion system, everything moves together, shaking and vibrating just like in a real car. However, this setup didn’t affect the monitors at all!
@@feraligatrs Not a second!!! 57" is the future of Immersive Simracing and so easy to use also when doing VR too ;) No bezel, No NVidia Surroung, No connect/disconnect monitors. Just RACE and enjoy :)
tipple monitors are sick when you get them right but when you go vr its so immersive that it nullifies the need to spend extra on monitors.
Hi there!
Thanks for your insightful comment! I absolutely agree that VR offers an unparalleled level of immersion in sim racing. As I mentioned, I’ve also experienced the incredible depth and realism VR brings to the table, especially with the Varjo Aero, which I feature in my video. It’s truly a game changer.
However, I’ve pointed out a significant issue with VR: the discomfort it can cause over extended periods. I’ve found that limiting my sessions to about an hour helps prevent eye strain, but it’s definitely a drawback worth considering.
Regarding streaming. While VR offers an incredible personal experience, it doesn’t translate as well to viewers on a stream. The use of OpenXR and the XR Tunnel for OBS Studio is a neat solution, but it still falls short of capturing the full VR experience for the audience. It tends to show only a single eye’s perspective, which isn’t as engaging as traditional setups.
Speaking of setups, I’m excited I brought up my new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch display. It’s more than just a monitor; it’s like a windshield that immerses you into the game. I’d love for you to check out my channel for a closer look at how this setup transforms the sim racing experience.
Thanks again for your comment. Your observations and insights are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Philipp

Dude, the music, just why???
Sim rig is fucking awesome though, so you redeemed yourself 😂. Thanks!
Thanks dude :) To be honest I did not create the clip and I am not responsible for the music but for me it's ok, smooth ;)
Been watching different peoples rigs for the past couple weeks now. Trying to decide how I want to go about building mine. lol
hi there, and did you decide with which setup you go??? Do you know my newest Race Video where I show the new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9NC 58" ??? check this out! this Monitor is a GameChanger!
Super cool mit der kaffeehaus mucke
Wow PRO Level! Inspiring! Beautiful realism and work .
3 questions:
- re: pedals, why did you go from Hksvld + to simtag hydraulic, why did u like it better? Thoughts on Astek pedals or HPP simulation hudraulic pedals?
- re: seq. shifter, why didnt you go w the pro sim seq shifter intead of the hksvld seq shifter?
- re: motion rig, what made you decide on dbox motion vs. Cubic or PT Actuator motion options for realism and travel?
Thnx
Hi Tomas and thanks for your good questions, really appreciate every positive feedback :) I went from Heusinkveld Ultimate+ to Simtag Ashley pedals because I want the most realism in my simulator as possible, Simtag pedals are used in real race cars, so here it is and I have to say that was a good decision! Never had better feeling and control on the Brake. I don't tried Astek or HPP and I haven't planed that because I already have the ones I love. Shifter is easy to answer, I bought the Heusinkveld Seq Shifter before Pro Sim had a Seq Shifter in their program, also the Heusinkveld one fits my setting perfect and feels brilliant. Last and best question I like to answer because it's also quite easy, wanted the best, got the best and most authentic for a GT3/F1 simulator I guess. I invested hours of research which motion to go, ptactuator, simrig.se, dbox or sfx100 self build. target was to end with a simulator where everything is onboard and only the 4 actuator have contact to ground --> complete immersion! Weight is a big problem, so no sfx100, and no simrig.se (before v2 which can more weight). next the optical behavior because my simulator is next to my couch in my living room and I don't want so many Power Supply's, Amplifiers, cabling, so no PT-Actuators, what still on the list --> D-Box, hey with the smallest travel but it's what, official licensed by the FIA, developed with real race guys --> bought --> no complain --> fantastic, highly configurable, you feel a stone on the track, going over curbs, you feel them under your ass, there is no delay from iRacing out to D-Box motion. complete system hidden under seat and pedals. Hope I could answer your questions, have a great day
@@pgeppl thanks for your reply. Lastly re: motion, did you also consider Qubic and/ or traction loss? Looking for a good traction loss system and a great rig that can easily go from GT to an F1 position like the Motion Simulations LC rig?
ruclips.net/video/pj3DWLrjQzc/видео.html
* I wonder which VR you will upgrade to next Meta Quest 3 or Apple VR ?:)
@@tomasartica because you sent a video from Karl Gosling, check out his channel he did a video with traction loss system from RaceAtHome and I wanted that but importing it to AT only costs 1k and so I canceled this idea ;) I do not need to upgrade my VR, I am happy with my Varjo Aero and don't like anything from Meta ;) Also AppleVR is a complete different approach to do something Apple allows you but nothing todo with SimRacing I guess.
LOVE the setup >
I am not too far off, but I have stopped at VR at the moment, I love the immersion with motion and VR, I use one 32" curved monitor for everything else. What do you use more? Tripples or VR?
Hi Uldis, glad to hear that you are also such a enthusiast ;) I mostly use my Triple Screens because it's easier when I just want todo some quick practice or racing. I love VR but it is more stressful for my eyes and about after 1 hour my eyes start a bit burning. I guess this has something todo with 90fps and less because on Valve Index I was able to do longer races without pain in my eyes. 80% Triples 20% VR I would say. have a great day

What a beautiful setup! How can I find those pads at 4:11 and do you find they work well at isolating vibrations?
Thanks mate :) This are Lift rubber pads which I bought in a hardware store! It helps with vibration but will not reduce it completely but I have no other option because under my Apartment their are some Neighbors which I will not disturb all the time ;)

Fantastic!! Well done.
Amazing setup! Dream build for sure!
Have you tried VR by chance?
Hello and thank you for your comment. I appreciate your engagement, yet I have a question for you as well. Did you watch the entire video, or only the first few seconds? If you had watched more closely, you might have noticed my Varjo Aero VR headset mounted to my right. Moreover, if you had viewed even a few minutes of the video - which isn't too long - you would have seen footage using the VR headset. Through the VR lens, I demonstrate racing with an Open XR tunnel using the Varjo Aero. I do a lot of racing in VR but don't often make videos about it. I value your feedback, but I must mention that I receive many comments with similar queries that are clearly addressed in the video. Sometimes, I find this baffling and it can be somewhat disheartening.
@@pgeppl I watched the videos but was mainly focused on the D-box dampers.
Also in the beginning I don't know where to look, your setup is so immense and impressive that it did take me a few looks before I actually noticed the headset.
I would recommend that is these queries baffle you and can be somewhat disheartening, simply do not answer. It was an honest mistake on my part with no ill intent.
I stopped watching before then end where you do put it on. I can understand your frustration
Good luck with your future content.
Thanks mate! All good 😁🤝
Awesome !! Needs to put asus bezel on screens 😎👊

what camera do you use to record from behind and show screens? amaginz setup and image quality!
Thank you! I'm also thrilled with the image quality. I'm currently unsure if I captured these shots with my iPhone 13 Pro Max in 4K at 60fps or with my Elgato Facecam Pro, also set to 4K at 60fps. Those are my go-to cameras. Recently, I've added an InstaLink 360 4K to the mix, although it's rarely used. It's possible that for this specific recording, I stuck with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Have a wonderful day!
Amazing!
Sick setup!
interested in the monitor mount, those looked really well mounted especially to be mounted on the rig
thanks, good question, I combined the standard triple monitor mount from sim-lab with their integrated monitor mount and the result is TripleScreen attached to your Rig 👍
Such a Great setup, why did you get rid of triple 32s for the 57?
@evanhunterblbier thanks mate 😁 the immersion without bezel is just awesome 🤩 thats why I switched to 57“ 😉👌👍
Is there an extension like you have Simcore but for Fanatec Podium DD2 ? Do you know any ?
And also you had Heusinkveld Ultimates +… you liked them ? You went with other pedals…why specific ?
I do not know any Fanatec extension mate 🤷🏻♂️ Heusinkveld Ulti+ are top pedals but I just wanted a hydraulic brake as in real race cars ;) thats all why 😉
nice setup
Thanks mate 😁🙏
Can you tell us more about the difference between the different level of equipment? I am really curious was it worth it to upgrade from Fanatec V3 pedals to Heusinkveld(if i saw correctly) and then to Simtag? Apart from obviously different feeling, how were your laptimes affected?
Hi Vassil, good question :) In General I get faster over time :) More Racing, more experience, better trailbraking, ... Fanatec was a good brake but after I sold all Fanatec stuff I also wanted other Pedals where I can adjust much more as on the Fanatec V3! So I bought the Heusinkveld Ultimate which are brilliant in everything! Later on I switched to Simtag Ashley because I want as much realism on my simulator as possible so I decided to go with Hydraulic Break System as they are also in real Race cars. I guess I also got faster again because my Muscle Memory is working with hydraulic resistance much better as with the Heusinkveld. But this is just my personal feeeling and I am pretty sure there are enough people out there which are much faster than I am ;) Important thing is that you have fun :) Hope I could answer your question. Have a great day, race hard!
"Cable management left the chat"
😂 I wish I could fix this but I have no ambitions to extend all the cables from PC to my Motion Simulator just to hide them 🤷🏻♂️ When I sit in the cockpit, I don't see them at all 😁👌👍
@@pgeppl Haha😂
Very cool rig! I bet you already tried the free bezel kit but why not mount it?
I drive on a triple Odyssey G7 setup. I spinned all monitors 180 degree so I was able to lower them 1,5 centimeters closer to my wheelbase. In settings you spin your monitors 180° also and done.
The triple G7 look even better when spinned, and I gained around 300 square centimeter more area surface.
When I look at the frame of your BenQ 32´´ you will gain around 400-500 square centimeters if you spin them.
Thanks and yes I tried the bezel kit but this does not fit very well with my settings from 57degree side monitors and my BenQ EX3203R Curved Displays. Also I tried to mount them inverted but this is not possible with the vesa adapters from simlab, so I cutted the LightSensor from the middle screen and lowered them nearly direct to my wheel base ;) works. anyway thanks for your tips, appreciate that 👍
@@pgeppl Im using vesa mounts too. If I remember correctly you need to rotate the vesa kit also
@@Josey2crazy4u believe me it did not work 🤷🏻♂️ anyway after my cut they are low enough for me 👌👍
My fellow simracer friend, did you already got the Simucube Active pedals ? It simulates ABS and all other nice effects like you already seen for sure…
And is Simucube 2 Ultimate a very BIG upgrade from Fanatec Podium DD2 ? I have now DD2 and thinking to upgrade to Simucube 2 PRO or Ultimate but there must be a big differance otherwise it’s not worth the high price for me personally.
Never tried Simucube 2 PRO or Ultimate so I ask for your experience.
Thanks in advance ! 🏁🏁🏁
Hellas Simracing friend :) Thanks for your kind words. To be honest I was thinking to get the Active Pedals but I want to stay to the real race cars as close I can and so I will stay with my Simtag Ashley which I really love :) My decision to switch from DD1 to SC2 Ultimate (Pro would have also been enough) was that I wanted to use different Wheels and also to get rid of their QuickRelease which I don't like and with which I nearly knocked me out several times when switching the steering wheels. In my personal feelings I get more feedback in the simulation as I got with Fanatec. Also I had always this "clonk" in the DD1 when racing, it happens maybe 1-2 times during a race but mostly in corners where the FFB going off for 1 sec. so I always crashed at this moment and this they never got fixed so this was my second point why I switched and the last and maybe most important thing for me was that with SC2 I can use some extensions to have more distance between Wheelbase and steering wheel so I was able to lower my middle screen as much as possible and that feels so sick :) I hope I could help you a bit with your decision, if you still have some questions, just ask :) Have a great day mate
This is kinda dream rig...
😊 thanks mate 👌👍
what a flex!
I wear glasses with frames over the ears.
Are your lenses for everyday or only racing?
What is that headband for your lenses? I've never seen those before!
Hi Sam, I use this ones: vr-lens-lab.com/prescription-lens-inserts/vr-frame-virtual-reality-glasses/ before I got the correct Lens Adapters for my Aero I purchased this ones and wear them now when racing on my Triples because they have all this filter included and I need some glasses when doing PC stuff.
@@pgeppl thank you very much
Wow awesome setup. I love it. Can i ask,
Is ur monitors directly connected to the actual rig? Did you buy any stand or holder for it? If its directly connected, does it not misaligned when the rig moves?
Hello, thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoy my setup. What you see here is my old Triple-Monitor system. I mounted it on my rig using a Triple-Monitor stand and SimLab’s Integrated Monitor Mount, ensuring everything on my rig moves with the motion. The only contact with the ground is through the motion actuators. In this system with Triple Screens, I had no issues with motion, but additional aluminum profiles from SimLab can provide extra support. In my recent videos, you’ll notice I switched to the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch monitor, which is even easier to attach to this system and moves with the motion. However, extra aluminum profiles were needed to support the monitor due to Samsung’s VESA 100 Mount. It’s a bit inconvenient for such a large panel, but everything on the rig, except the PC (wall-mounted), moves with the motion. I hope this information helps! Enjoy my videos, and perhaps we’ll meet on the track.
he went from 500 dollar set up to 20 thousand dollar set up
This hobby really isn't for shallow pockets 😂
@@tambulee I'll say
This is so coooool
Thank you sooooo much :) You made my day :)
made air simulation. Wow!
no mate, you understood that wrong ;) This is a Rally simulator, didn't you see my roll bar there 🤣
It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh yesss mate 😁🤜🤛👍
Cable management gives me the fear. Heck of a setup however
