Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement! I will remember you specifically if I ever receive a youtube play button

​@@insimoniacgaming its not if its when

I appreciate the kind words and helpful critiques!! Definitely need to refine the essay portion for these video essays lol

Also i loved the way you lit your room for all the shots. And i liked your story telling / editing capability. Definitely subbed to see more of your content. Thanks !

Thank you! For the intro sequence I shot with my Red Scarlet Dragon with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and the rest of the video on my Panasonic Lumix S1H with the Lumix 24-104mm f4 lens. It's absolutely overkill for these videos but I am a professional cinematographer so I might as well use the tools I already have. Its super cool hearing the simracing community respond positively to the extra mile I go with the shooting haha

Thats awesome to hear it can withstand the big boys! I guess it can be considered as an endgame upgrade for a lot of us, me included!

From the few hours I spent in the GT position while in Dirt Rally 2, the pedal base looks a bit more solid compared to the formula seating based on the little footage I took.

Thank you! And yes, after a few frustrating attempts that even almost had me disassembling the whole rig one time, I think I managed get it done to about 8 minutes. I'll probably make a quick update video about it as I also figured out how to attach one of my 8020 profiles on it as well.

@@insimoniacgaming Do you think in your personal opinion for someone like me who is 6’3” can still fit both GT and Formula positioning with this rigs adjustability? I’m very close to pulling the trigger on this, also hoping that my Simagic shifter and handbrake can fit on their shifter plate

@@namiata3 I'm 5'10 150lb with a reach of 67 inches for context. I am fairly certain you will be able to find a configuration that works with your body type. It may just take a few hours and a bit of sweat, especially if you plan on regularly changing seating positions. I managed to find a configuration that only requires me to adjust the height/distance of the pedals and the seating angle. It did take me a few frustrating hours going through a number of configurations (main area of difficulty was the pedal height, pedal base distance, and angle) before landing on one that only requires a few adjustments that take 8 minutes tops. There are a near infinite amount of configurations that I am recording a quick video going over my personal process and some of the key areas of adjustments that may inform you further. I also cannot comment on the shifter and handbrake, as you will see in the quick video, I have a really jank set up for that lol I think the benefit of buying the F GT Elite over this cockpit is that the F GT Elite comes with the shifter since the shifter separately is still sold out

Selling these rigs might be tricky due to their size and weight. If you live in a major city, I'd recommend putting it up on a local barter site like craigslist or facebook marketplace, simracing seems to be popping all around the world, even in non-motorsports region like California I see a lot of secondhand equipment. You can also hold on to it with the hopes that one of your buddies will be bitten by the bug and interested in starting their simracing journey and sell it them at a friend price for their first hit lol

Sony HDR as300. just Sony's action cam that are leftovers from work.

I have a video in the pipeline that may interest you where I compare a budget ultrawide screen compared to (the now budget) quest 2 as they are both around $200 atm. They both have strengths and weaknesses but I always push ppl towards VR if possible as it really is the most immersive experience if you can get it set up properly. With that video, I can go over all my components, from PC to cables to connection.

@@insimoniacgaming Thanks. Can't wait :)

I'll add a heater right behind my seat to further simulate the engine heat and maybe squeeze in a camelback somewhere in there so I can drink hot water during a race

@@insimoniacgaming lol that would be fun. I mention the fan though for cooling, not just immersion. Having a fan blowing on your face in VR will make it much, much cooler and more comfortable and you might not get as much swamp butt in your seat 😉

Wow that actually means a lot!

The VR in the F1 games is not optimized at all compared to playing on a screen. I haven't noticed how unoptimized its become since hopping back into my same rig with a screen after 2 years of only vr and literally every aspect of the game, from menus to loading screens to on-track performance, was waaaay smoother. I will say, its not nearly as bad as ACC which I avoid completely but compared to how amazing Project Cars 2 VR was (which is now almost 7 years old now), a modern AAA title shouldn't have any excuses. You can actually run PC2 without the Link cable without any hiccups and still run the graphics on higher settings. Im really hoping F1 24 improves upon the previous 2 game but knowing the pattern, there will most likely be one half step forward in some areas but a full step backwards in others.

Very good! Currently trying to find a new home for it amongst a couple of friends just getting into simracing. I'd still recommend this to most starter rigs like the Logitech g900 series. If you plan on upgrading to anything stronger than 8nm or stronger loadcell than an entry-level pedal like the CSLs i own, I do recommend saving up for an 8020 rig. But if you only plan on casually racing every one in a while with the logitech set, Id 100% recommend it for the casual simracers. Those who are handy can strengthen the frame with ratchet straps and even 3D printed brackets.

@@insimoniacgaming glad to hear so, I'm planning on getting a moza r5 and the srp pedals for start. probably won't upgrade for a while as I change house every year as a student and need something easy to move around

Yes 4:09 & 12:00

I believe just the bottom 4 profiles are thicker. The pedal base and wheel column are the same width. It also comes with the $149 shifter attachment that is currently hard to find separately.

I believe so since the Asetek wheel bases mount via the side. Make sure to get the more expensive side mount edition like this video shows instead of the wheel plate edition

I dont, I dont think I justify opening up one atm lol I will keep it in mind for the future though! Thanks!

Thats the first I've heard of that company and for an all-in-one package, that really is an amazing price!! Why aren't other reviewers picking up on it, I wonder? Unfortunately for me, even an "affordable" motion rig like that is still waaay out of the budget for me, and I'm sure many other sim racers. The closest upgrade I can currently plan for are transducers on the seat and 4 corners of the rig, but I will definitely keep the yaw2 in mind for the future. Thanks for the heads up!
