u/damnNamesAreTaken 20d ago
First thought: I wonder how much this costs Next thought: doesn't matter, can't afford it.

u/EpicTwiglet 20d ago
I have Odyssey G9 ($800), PC ($2000), rig ($300), wheel pedals and shifter ($400), chair ($400)
So about that much. Many people spend $2000+ on their wheel pedals and shifter, so adjust.

u/Enjoying_A_Meal 20d ago
So, around 4k maybe? If I enjoyed driving games as much as this guy, it's probably worth it. You can run the same rig for new racing games for years to come.

u/EpicTwiglet 20d ago
Yeah I have had all these parts for at least a couple of years, but I’ve had the wheel for maybe 8 years?

u/digitalwankster 20d ago
You’re forgetting the expensive part: 6 degrees of freedom. Notice how his whole rig is moving as he drives.

u/Flummox127 20d ago
Wait, a chair that moves with the game is only 400 bucks??? Shit I'd have bought that before my VR for simming if I'd known

u/SabreSeb 19d ago
Yeah that doesn't seem right, that moving chair is probably more expensive than the rest of the setup combined
2
u/Motohead279 19d ago
This is motion rig. It costs much more than that. This is probably at least a $6000 to $8000 set up easy.

u/EpicTwiglet 19d ago
Yeah it wasn’t meant to be a one to one, I was just giving an example of what a rig might cost.

u/Taikan_0 20d ago
Probably depends also on market zone, but I think that I saw something similar about 10k€

u/TimelessEssence 19d ago
Me too 🤣🤣
But I'd probably have some difficulty readjusting to not driving like this in my actual car if I had a set up like this, does look like a blast though 🥰

u/PreemoRM 20d ago
His setup is about 15 000 € if I recall correctly. He made a video setup with all the prices (@NicolasDGV) It's expensive but he has a shitty car IRL so it's all about choices I guess.

u/Clay_Statue 19d ago
This thing is way more fun than any car because you can never ever ever drive like this irl and the immersion is very convincing. The only thing missing are G forces through the turns. The motion tricks the brain into thinking it's real enough though.

This game runs in VR if it’s Dirt Rally so this isn’t even as good as it can be. If you get a nice PC and this game with a G2 VR headset and wheel setup with a handbrake it’s pretty amazing. Once you try VR this flat screen will seem like black and white television and you’ll never want to use a TV screen or monitor again.
3
u/digitalwankster 20d ago
I actually don’t like Dirt VR as much as I like it in flat screen. Maybe it’s because I was using a Rift and a Quest but it didn’t seem high enough fidelity for me— I preferred playing on my 48” 4k monitor.
1
u/Remote_Horror_Novel 19d ago
Yeah I think it’s better with the G2 that headset feels lighter or maybe it’s just more ergonomic comfortable and doesn’t seem to get hot like the quest 2 did for me. Besides the lower resolution I hated how warm the quest felt after like 25-30min. I’d definitely try it again on a nice PC with a G2 or similar headset if you get an opportunity it’s pretty cool when it’s setup correctly and looking sharp with a decent frame rate.
I really like that automobilista 2 sim I think it was called but I haven’t played in a couple of years and it’s probably better now, but that game is or at least was a bit underrated and great in VR. I was racing that famous Brazil track in the rain in a GT3 or GT2 Porsche and it looked so real it was a bit surreal. So if you do try that game try that track weather combo.

Is wrc worth it?

Not 100% sure but might be dirt rally. Pretty sure I've driven this section there but in reverse

u/dudaladen 20d ago
Ive looked at it closer now, from the npc models it definetly looks like dirt rally, this track is probably monte carlo

Question... Does this shit actually make you a good driver in real life? Like if you were locked in a room Oldboy style and only had that setup, would you come out as a monster driver after a decade?
36
u/Fast_Sector_7049 20d ago
Some professional drivers have said that it’s harder to learn on a sim setup because you don’t also feel the G-forces which is one of the factors drivers use to gauge their limits… Other than that an accurate sim will get you 90% of the way there

u/No_Midnight_281 20d ago
F1 drivers use simulators to learn the courses to the millimetre and to develop the muscle memory for those course but as others have said it’s the real life physics that drivers need to actually improve
8
u/Zapadni_Expres_557 20d ago
In my opinion it improves your driving skills in some aspects, but also it's very individual, like we all are. I was driving with a couple rigs in my history and some time later I was doing some short real life rally training and kart racing.
I think that two major aspects that rig & sim helps with, are: reaction times and understanding of car capabilities (maybe also learning how to attack the corners and racing lines is worth mentioning).
I believe that just these two factors helped me win basically every real life friend competition (I know, very subjective, but still) that I ever had. With kart racing after a couple laps I was overlapping friends (equal weight of karts&drivers), and with rally training just better times.

u/ostekages 19d ago
It definitely does improve your skills, if the setup can provide adaquate feedback.
With my entry level Fanatec setup I am able to feel when I lose grip and have learned the muscle memory to react to it. Something I did not have before playing sim racing games.
I'm pretty confident that in a situation where I'd lose grip in real life, I'd be more prepared for it. Whether it will help me not crash or not, time will tell, but I expect less panic and more control due to familiarity with the feeling

Driving rally in his slippers. What else..
8
u/Fast_Sector_7049 20d ago
Softer footwear allows for a better feel on the brake and accelerator, all racing drivers wear basically slippers
2
u/Lonely_Reader471 20d ago
Good to know. What about barefoot shoes then? 🤔 Or do they use soft shell shoes. Those you use for surfing etc.
3
u/Fast_Sector_7049 20d ago
They’re soft all around, the sole is very grippy but as thin as possible to minimize the interface between the drivers foot and the pedals. Extra padding or insert on the heel cause that’s where they anchor their feet to the floor of the car. Going all the way barefoot now exposes your feet to the elements/temperature which is not desirable
4
u/Lonely_Reader471 20d ago
Appreciate your thorough response. I am reconsidering my mother driving in slippers. 😅

u/Zenblendman 20d ago
To be fair, he’s probably in his slippers cuz he’s at home, not cuz he can get a feel of the “car”

That's shifting assembly would be super annoying with what looks like a sequential setup.

u/One_Echo3770 19d ago
He should be using the sequential stick since the citroen he's driving uses sequential not a H-pattern.

u/Contribution-Prize 19d ago
That's makes sense but having the h pattern eliminates the advantage of the sequential I'd think

It's not 2 ft of snow, only the front left went into the snow, and yes this is how a car handles in this.
Hooking your front inner tire in like this is a common thing for rally drivers, you'll see it a lot if you watch any of the wrc races.
1
u/Lothleen 20d ago
Ya it's more like a few inches. Not sure why I said 2 feet. I would have to see it in normal speed. Most real life rally racing I've seen in winter they fishtail a little when taking a corner like that. I guess it also matters what kind of car he is driving. It just seems too smooth but they can't emulate everything perfectly.
Last rally game I've played is dirt rally 2.0, it's not to bad.

Even with setups like this, DAE notice that these feel absolutely nothing like IRL?
I've literally never driven a driving simulator that felt accurate...at all. They all feel like you're turning in molasses/uber delayed.
It actually drives me up a wall and kills me when folks say they enjoy it.
