1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,879
whether you're a big rally racing nerd with a Sim setup in your living room or

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,719
not EA Sports WRC is a bundle of fun

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,320
allowing you to smack into trees in Fidelity that was previously reserved

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:18,840
for the pros but just how much do you need to spend to have a satisfying Sim

5
00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:20,680
racing experience to find out EA Sports

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,519
handed us one metric bushel of sponsorship money and basically said I

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,560
don't know do whatever you want as long as you work in a few talking points about the game so we decided to get the

8
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:35,040
whole range of setups from a wheel and pedals that we got for $30 on Facebook

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,480
Marketplace hooked up to a PC that matches their minimum spec all the way

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,960
up to a racing Sim setup that costs more than an actual rally car is it worth it

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,199
to spend a bit more cash on your rig or would you be better off sticking with a

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,920
PS5 controller cuz not going to lie that's looking like a very real

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:00,440
possibility right now meet the thrustmaster t80 Ferrari

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,159
Edition side note guys you absolutely should not pay extra for the prancing

15
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:09,400
pony logo just get an unbranded t80 we found this one for $30 on Facebook

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,960
Marketplace including some tasty feet picks so that's the way you're going to

17
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:18,720
want to go if you're aiming at a pretty basic setup speaking of basic setup

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,880
getting this setup is very easy you just throw the wheel at your Tech Tippy

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,479
friend and let him figure it out oh interesting and we're timing me

20
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:30,360
excellent and begin to be clear the point is not to set some kind of speed

21
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,520
record for installing a racing wheel but rather just to provide some convenience

22
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,159
context for each of the various setups all we got to do for this guy is loosen

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:45,759
the desk clamp without clamping this guy I have personally done that before slide

24
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:47,600
this bad boy onto here tighten and clamp

25
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,079
the desk clamp oh boy I can kind of see leaving it plugged

26
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,079
in but just in a pile next to you I suspect that's what a lot of people end

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,439
up doing but we're going to go ahead and plug her in Alex was your Genius plan to

28
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,759
use this Ikea foot rest to kind of angle the pedals or am I moving it out of the

29
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,880
way that would be horrible okay fair enough hey but how convenient is that

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,760
now you don't need a foot rest ow dang it

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,840
okay I am really not selling this very well am I not the single most ergonomic

32
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:20,800
okay no with the chair adjustments we're going to need a little bit more time

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:25,560
there that's not so bad under 2 minutes hold on hold on you're missing something

34
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:31,280
what are you doing you take them Jam them into the wheels like that that's my

35
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:38,160
Pro Racing Tip right there then you don't slide back oh yeah hey that's not

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,480
bad it's mostly stops 2 minutes 30

37
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,959
seconds just about on the nose let's fire up the game do we have a solution

38
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,519
for the uh pedals no oh I guess I could just put them against the wall yeah and

39
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,280
you see that box that's filled with sandpaper how do I always end up

40
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:55,760
crawling around under your desk it's only happened like once before there we

41
00:02:52,920 --> 00:03:00,720
go if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid okay this is not bad you've got

42
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,799
your abxy or at least the PlayStation equivalent this engine start button is

43
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,239
actually a little d-pad which is super cool now that we're on the main menu

44
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,640
there's a whole wack of gameplay options but we're just going to jump straight into quickplay where we can play solo or

45
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:17,840
multiplayer in a variety of different modes they've got quick generate create

46
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,319
rally where you can create a custom one and a regularity rally which I assume

47
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,840
has something to do with the crapping yourself that you might do going over

48
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:28,760
some of these jumps and stuff sorry I'm not I'm not into rally racing so I don't

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,360
know all the lingo and Alex you say we want H1 for wheel Drive yes why H1

50
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,640
what's H1 yeah that's historic the first that means nothing to me okay perfect no

51
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,120
it it just means like it's the very oldest oh okay ooh competition type

52
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:49,319
realistic that's one of the things people are really excited about with this game is it's not super

53
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:55,720
arcadey which is going to be a problem for me oh my God our poor

54
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,959
car can you tell this wasn't our first take

55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,360
woo oh no

56
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:08,879
okay things didn't take long to go sideways and uh not going to lie I don't

57
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,840
think I can blame the game for it in spite of the fact that we're running on

58
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:17,880
minimum Hardware so this is a 9600k with

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,600
a GTX 1060 I'm getting about 50 FPS

60
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:25,880
running at 1080p low without Dynamic resolution scaling

61
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:28,080
overall pretty smooth gaming experience

62
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,199
I can't say the same for my wheel though that doesn't mean somebody more skilled

63
00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:35,479
could put up some decent times with this thing not everybody needs an expansive

64
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,000
array of buttons and an Alcantara wrap I mean the shifting paddles are tactile

65
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,120
enough and you're certainly not going to lose your grip on it but it lacks any

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,039
kind of force feedback meaning that particularly for an inexperienced driver

67
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,560
not having any kind of feedback from the vehicle you know steering a little

68
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,600
harder when you're going faster or from the shape of the road makes it really

69
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:03,039
difficult to tell what the heck is going on cuz all I have is the visual cues

70
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,680
which at that point raises the question

71
00:05:03,039 --> 00:05:08,759
why don't I just use a controller let's try this for comparison the controller

72
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:15,639
definitely has the convenience factor going for it uh there here let me start

73
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:15,639
my

74
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,880
timer 3.67 seconds

75
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:30,520
oo they've got integration with the ps5s

76
00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:32,000
rumble your door is going don't worry

77
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:39,080
about my door man you worry about your door okay oh shoot I'm going to blow up

78
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,080
my engine never mind my doors oh boy

79
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,120
um I just need a little bit of time to

80
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,160
get the H really you can

81
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:59,960
tell I mean woo stuff still happens uh

82
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:09,759
okay hey we made it around that corner second gear mind you but we made it

83
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:15,960
around the corner grand total adjustment time about 2 minutes and I'm pretty sure

84
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:20,680
I'm better on this already

85
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,160
oh don't speak too soon that's how you

86
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:27,400
learn we know that this is not an Apples to Apples comparison the price Delta

87
00:06:24,919 --> 00:06:31,759
between this and that wheel is over double but this at least serves other

88
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,360
purposes and doesn't take up as much space in your house and I think it's

89
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:40,080
fair to say from our short experience that a wheel without force speedback is

90
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:46,280
just plain not going to be a good time I mean PS5 winner oh buy a lot I tested

91
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:51,599
this on the Shakedown I was 12 seconds faster on the controller that's like 25%

92
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,960
faster it's crazy yeah bottom line

93
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:58,360
though don't let us tell you what you like at the cost of a basic wheel

94
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,639
secondhand you should just buy one try

95
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,560
it and then if you don't like it resell it probably for the exact same amount

96
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,680
you paid it's my favorite kind of free rental I do it all the time of course

97
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:14,280
the real reason that we did this video was not actually to look at the extremes

98
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,800
both high and low budget but rather so Alex could have an excuse to build his

99
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,680
personal mid tier setup on work time wait what yeah yeah okay that actually

100
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:27,759
makes a lot of sense and explains why we're at your house for this shoot

101
00:07:25,479 --> 00:07:31,560
guys's been genuinely stoked for this game since it was announced that Cod

102
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:36,360
master has picked up the wcip and he's put together a pretty nice but not

103
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,000
unreasonable rig for it starting with the GT light Pro from Next Level racing

104
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:47,360
once again in theory we just uh crack this thing open and it's

105
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Off to the Races I'm making it look so easy you really really are

106
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,840
not oh wait why am I doing this this is your job all right okay I just r videos

107
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:03,280
let's Benchmark it wait you're going to undo it now we're going to time me again just for fun but theoretically once it's

108
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,280
all set up it would just be a matter of unfolding it and you're pretty much good

109
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:13,599
to go we're going to want to run these cables first including I yes power oh

110
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:19,000
this is cool we got some handy dandy little 3D printed spacers here so we can

111
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:24,120
clamp this onto a really really Slim plate like this and then we got a couple

112
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:26,919
of screws to secure this into place we

113
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:32,399
line up I don't know am I allowed to have a helper friend yes oh wow

114
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:38,800
oh nice you don't happen to have handy dandy spacers for this boy do you I have

115
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:42,479
screws for it you have screws oh well

116
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,720
yes that will do uh there we go there we

117
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:49,959
go oh what was that still good I don't know

118
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,680
by now it should be pretty obvious that we're spending both a lot more time and

119
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:59,120
a lot more money on this versus our last setup but when you consider the extra

120
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:02,720
utility not to mention how much you're all already into it for by the time

121
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,160
you've got a PC that will run this game at its best I don't think it's that

122
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:13,160
unreasonable this seat for example the GT Racing light is $300 new and you can

123
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:17,120
get a less cushiony version for $50 less and you can find them for as little

124
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:23,079
as150 used if you're lucky other than that we just need a USB and an HDMI

125
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:26,920
cable to run over to our PC and we

126
00:09:23,079 --> 00:09:31,040
should be pretty much good to go H uh

127
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,440
USB extension anyone oh hi perfect uh if

128
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:37,079
you don't need USB 3 speeds active cables like this one are an inexpensive

129
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:42,440
and convenient way to extend the range beyond the official specification as for

130
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:48,200
what we're plugging it into meet Alex's G27 it's the same racing wheel Logitech

131
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:55,560
has been making for about 19 years but the 2009 version of it that is uh not as

132
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,440
good as the original one but better than the ones that they have now yeah how

133
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,640
exactly does that work that they keep bringing out new ones that have less

134
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:06,880
features and higher prices like the g920

135
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:09,240
doesn't even include a shifter

136
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:15,959
anymore the good news is that means you can get something old like this one a

137
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:18,040
G27 or even a G25 and still get a modern

138
00:10:15,959 --> 00:10:24,480
gaming experience out of it these can be had for around the 150 to $250 us range

139
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,200
by the way we're not going to be running this stock uh Alex do you have some hair

140
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:33,200
elastics handy oh yes one second of course he does I need to go steal them

141
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,240
so we go around here with two okay hold

142
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,200
it up wait don't you don't you lift a

143
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,200
knee bra I a rally car you

144
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,519
go yeah yeah

145
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:51,560
ious now we just need a display mounting for a monitor is not included with most

146
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,440
of these seats because it's typical for people to set this up in their living

147
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,920
room or their family room and use their TV but as a not forever alone Alex

148
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,959
doesn't really have that opt which is funny because she thinks it's

149
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:07,160
not going to disturb her I guess but like it's really loud when the force

150
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:12,120
feedback is running this any who let's put this monitor onto

151
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:16,200
this Mount that you got from also next level racing and what are one of these

152
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:21,120
worth uh 100 bucks or so okay this is going to be difficult it's the power of

153
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:22,399
the LTT screwdriver LTT how do we get

154
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:29,839
the other ones in now that's that's the bit that I was concerned about oh like

155
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:32,800
this well okay you could oh okay in all

156
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:32,800
seriousness though I bet we

157
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:39,480
can I think we can get this last one hold on you want to you might want to

158
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:44,440
back back that off yeah that one's not going in nope that's a negatory but the

159
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,240
good news is that it's not going to get lost cuz it's trapped in there you got

160
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:54,360
to have a seat though so we can get the height adjusted okay oh goodness oh goodness I don't

161
00:11:52,920 --> 00:12:00,519
think you're supposed to get in from that side with the shift rally oh my

162
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,880
mic's caught too now I can't oh boy

163
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:05,920
is this the right height for you sir uh it needs to go up a little bit wait you want it that close to you want the wheel

164
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:09,480
covering that much of the screen yeah it's fine oh I mean I guess that's sort

165
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:15,320
of the experience the fov is like the biggest thing right okay not bad I mean

166
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,120
you don't have Ed's um Racing shoes that

167
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,079
heel toe I mean probably could have been a little better if you weren't in

168
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,279
moccasins you stay put cuz I think getting in and out of there is not

169
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,480
happening at this point I'll get you set up okay I think we're supposed to like

170
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,600
move this thing away that's how you get in it out uh race cars are hard to get

171
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,720
into it's just realistic something to note if you want to replicate Alex's

172
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,160
setup which by far is the best bang for the buck out of what we're looking at

173
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:44,600
today we'll have everything links down below is that the G27 specifically

174
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:48,519
cooperates best with a USB 2 Port so this is a usb3 extension but he

175
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:53,360
specifically chose this motherboard because it has USB 2 ports and we're

176
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,320
operating in USB 2 mode this is amazing

177
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:00,440
why are you going out that side it's

178
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:05,040
great ah yes being

179
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:07,320
short not so bad after all is it this is

180
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:12,880
the Difference Maker while the other wheel had tension when you turned it to

181
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:18,600
the side this one has Motors inside it that actively resist you according to

182
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,760
the bumps in the road or the force with which you should be turning they're not

183
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:26,720
the most sophisticated Motors you can get ones that are higher power or have

184
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:32,720
better granularity but I am expecting this to be a major step up yeah uh this

185
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:36,839
is another critical piece of any Sim setup you do not want to do what he was

186
00:13:34,839 --> 00:13:41,120
doing or even what I was doing every time you need a keyboard or Mouse so

187
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:45,560
having one of these magnet to the bottom of the chair is an a Player move is this

188
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:49,360
the monitor you're going to be using or is this just something you stole from work for now oh no this is my monitor it

189
00:13:48,199 --> 00:13:54,800
was supposed to replace the one that's in there uh it's better every single way

190
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:59,320
but the OSD sucks so I don't use it oh it's really bad like awful just terrible

191
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:02,320
why how often you need to use the on screen display all the time cuz you need

192
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:07,199
it to be like brighter during the day and then turn it down during the night and then it was like in the one right

193
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:10,360
there I have three color temperatures three different color profiles believe

194
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:18,079
beautiful you can just switch between them just never oh let us know in the

195
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:20,399
comments are you an Alex or are you a me

196
00:14:18,079 --> 00:14:24,279
to logitech's credit sure they haven't developed a new wheel in 20 years but

197
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,880
hey at least they're still supporting the old wheel that they still make yeah

198
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,000
look at all these things we can adjust in the software you got the force

199
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:37,480
strength the degrees of rotation that it'll take before it just stops this

200
00:14:35,079 --> 00:14:43,639
great centering spring disable that also degrees of rotation 270 is the best for

201
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:47,800
this you can go full Sim I go full I want to set records people always get so

202
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:51,720
like mad they're like oh it's not very realistic to do that I'm like I don't

203
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:57,079
care the most realistic thing is to try and win the race by exploiting the

204
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:02,360
rules we've gone a little higher end for the PC this time Cod Masters recomend

205
00:14:59,079 --> 00:15:03,480
men's a 2070 but Alex has a 3080 so

206
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,839
we're going to go ahead and crank some details I think this time we're also going to be upgrading the experience

207
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:13,800
we're going to go with WC and they've got 18 locations with gravel snow and

208
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:21,480
tarmac that according to Cod Masters is greatly improved Alex wanted me to go

209
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:27,680
with Chile and this is a gravel map

210
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:30,040
track no stage stage 34.7 km that is an

211
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:35,600
incredibly huge map to create no wonder this didn't

212
00:15:33,319 --> 00:15:40,839
launch on PlayStation 4 like how could you even contain that not with these

213
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:46,920
apparently that's pretty cool okay now here here go to the left Builder ooh

214
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:51,319
what are we doing you're building a car what do you mean I don't know where

215
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,800
engines go Mid Engine yeah sure oh my

216
00:15:51,319 --> 00:16:00,160
gosh exhaust kits like what why what do you mean like just to

217
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:07,160
change the sound oh okay well this one then I guess right

218
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,720
sure I mean yeah breaks I uh get the

219
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:14,199
good one I guess painite I can feel the pain of everyone watching this who's

220
00:16:12,199 --> 00:16:17,639
actually into this stuff including our sponsor by the way thank you very much

221
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,680
no no he he knows the stuff Andrew knows it the most he's just letting me

222
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:25,680
struggle for fun am I done now oh my oh

223
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,440
my goodness there's there's so many

224
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:33,199
things this is also like kind of realistic cuz they don't even make like

225
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:35,959
they don't modify a Toyota Yus they take

226
00:16:33,199 --> 00:16:41,600
a body and put Yus body parts on it at the end I see that makes sense this is

227
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,639
like the tennis rackets that the pros supposedly use when actually they just

228
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:49,600
use their old racket that they trained on and learned on with a new paint job

229
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:54,480
so they can sell the new racket to you the idiot consumer sort of does it

230
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,199
matter how much I spent I don't think so just quick

231
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:03,480
play oh it's automatic oh well that's not going to be a very

232
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:08,679
Apples to Apples comparison well we can change that pretty

233
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,679
easily there we

234
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,360
go oh no I'm immediately much worse

235
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:22,120
Alex wait where am I going oh he said right I okay this must be very hard for

236
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:28,360
you guys to watch H this is kind of the dirt slwc

237
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:34,480
experience for the first couple of hours they call it the Dark Souls of racing

238
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,000
games okay did he say extreme left I

239
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,160
can't understand his accent he sounds like

240
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:47,679
Andrew woo okay that right there was the first

241
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,080
like oh yeah I can definitely feel a

242
00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:55,679
difference with the force feedback moments oh you should use your left foot for breaking uh I there's no way that I

243
00:17:53,799 --> 00:18:01,120
would be able to do that that would completely break my brain oh no speaking

244
00:17:59,159 --> 00:18:07,960
of breaking thing oh yeah oh yeah still alive there is no question though that I

245
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,280
am way faster on this than I was on

246
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:15,919
either the other like useless wheel with no feedback or the controller you're on

247
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:20,280
the road in a car that's so much harder to control oh yeah this isn't even like

248
00:18:18,159 --> 00:18:25,960
apples to apples either and this this is a gravel track compared to the other one

249
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:28,679
too right yeah uhoh uhoh uhoh handbrake

250
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:34,520
right sorry sorry sorry I just ah I hit the

251
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:37,679
thing oh no oh no don't over steer

252
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:40,480
lus no no I got this i got this okay

253
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:45,280
show us how it's done oh god I didn't even have fun on the other setup to be

254
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:51,559
honest with you oh there's this within a minute I'm having fun totally different

255
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:57,440
game oh my goodness this is like scary fast I would

256
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:01,919
not want to be in this car oh sport feedback needs to get changed a lot

257
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,880
still having it at all is so much better than what we had before Alex this is

258
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:14,080
1440p ultra and we're sitting at about 80 FPS and it's Sol overall you beat me

259
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:20,720
by uh 39 well look who's keeping track of the

260
00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:23,200
exact number this is I can do better

261
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:27,440
than 136 or 25 I can't do better than one thing handbrake gas what why do you

262
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,720
need handbrake and gas so you can let go of the handbrake oh my goodness

263
00:19:32,159 --> 00:19:39,720
oh that poor engine well that sounds like future Alex's problem oh yeah we

264
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,760
turned the force feedback way up and it is definitely

265
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:49,600
better okay no no I got this i got

266
00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:56,760
this oh oh no no dang

267
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:03,039
it okay I'm still going to get a better time than last time oh crap here's

268
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,640
problem you're the your oh no am I okay

269
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:10,000
well that explains why the brakes aren't working very well you're doing so much

270
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,919
worse I'm worse why am I worse the door

271
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:19,120
fell off I love the damage effects

272
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:21,280
though no no no I'm still

273
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:24,720
alive okay here we go no no no

274
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,760
no oh it's better than last time he oh

275
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:37,880
yeah it's a pretty big Improvement this poor car let's let's see how she's

276
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:44,799
doing as great as this handbrake mod is here I'd kind of like to continue to use

277
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:51,320
it as a shifter so I got this thing it was 80 bucks off of Amazon and it is the

278
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:53,600
annex Sim racing handbrake anyway let's

279
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
throw it

280
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,919
on this this handbrake came with Hardware

281
00:20:59,159 --> 00:21:04,880
but the slots aren't large enough for it to go

282
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,440
through well that's you got what you pay for I

283
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:17,400
guess looks it looks pretty funny whatever you guys ha nice that

284
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,480
wasn't HT at all improvised some mounting hardware with some leftover

285
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:25,880
basis screws and you thought we were idiots for not putting all the screws in

286
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:32,159
there once again wow honestly this seems way

287
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:34,960
worse I think you just paid $80 for a

288
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:42,760
downgrade sir yeah this is that feels so chunky and nice this it's chunky it yep

289
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:45,000
it's um it's something the good news is

290
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,840
there are lots of other good upgrades that you can make to a setup like this

291
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:53,120
if you want to spend a little bit more money like for example a nicer pedal set

292
00:21:51,159 --> 00:21:57,120
from someone like fitech these can either stick to the floor with their

293
00:21:54,679 --> 00:22:01,240
grips or can be bolted into a frame or onto a Sim rig then there's Wheels there

294
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:06,679
might not be a huge control advantage to it but I'd say having a wheel that's a

295
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,360
similar diameter to an actual car might

296
00:22:06,679 --> 00:22:12,960
help immerse a little bit yeah yeah there we go that's more like it and this

297
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,039
particular one is attached to fitech csld DD which is the same motor that we

298
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,440
used in Jake's Intel extreme Tech upgrade

299
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,640
and it costs almost as much

300
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:30,919
as this but it is a really really nice nice

301
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:36,840
upgrade one that not everyone will agree about though is VR the game is supposed

302
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,960
to add VR support sometime in the but

303
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Alex will not be using it nah the whole

304
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:46,279
Sim racing is hard to set up is already a huge problem you don't need to set up

305
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:51,520
VR at the same time shocking how often my valve Hardware running on my valve

306
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:56,039
software just miraculously doesn't work from one day to the next you know what

307
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,679
does work though is this transition to the ultimate setup the ultimate Sim

308
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:03,720
racing setup that lives in our employee lounge hasn't changed since we built it

309
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:09,400
and that's because it was already flipping awesome and code Masters has

310
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,919
already done the work to integrate not just higher-end peripherals from the

311
00:23:11,159 --> 00:23:18,080
likes of fitech and hoisting Feld oh these pedals oh see that tension it's

312
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:24,799
all adjustable and everything it's so cool but even debox meaning that our

313
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,880
platform down here which has four AC Servo Motors that can independently

314
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:32,880
adjust the height of each corner of the platform allowing it to tilt forward

315
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:37,400
when you break lean back when you accelerate and bump all over the place

316
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:41,279
when you're going over a gravel road fun fact by the way your co- driver who sits

317
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,799
in the passenger seat and calls out which turns are coming next how far out

318
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,559
they are recorded the lines while sitting in a rig like this so that as

319
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:55,080
you're going down the road his voice actually reflects the condition of the

320
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,919
road you're driving on that is so cool why am I talking about it

321
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,360
then me and lonus have both both played around with this a fair bit in the game

322
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:07,200
cuz honestly it's just absolute heaps of fun although that's not what we're going

323
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:12,159
to be doing right now this right here is going to be an emulation of the 1985

324
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:16,960
Safari rally where all that lonus needs to do for it to be historically accurate

325
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:21,640
is to crash out for the most part around like really long pavement stages and

326
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:26,000
stuff like that it's a lot of fun the Safari rally isn't it's just a workout

327
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:30,880
it's punishing it hurts you what the heck if it makes you feel any better I

328
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:32,799
got a 329 on the stage so it is quite

329
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:37,200
doable actually that's not to say I'm going to pull it off because apparently

330
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:42,279
we've turned damage up to hardcore mode so good luck me hey I had that too okay

331
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:46,240
should I do a Shakedown yeah do a Shakedown see how she feels

332
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:55,960
okay go 50 and I sto

333
00:24:52,200 --> 00:25:00,320
fantastic I am going really slow and

334
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,320
this is extremely bump

335
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:07,679
oh red lined it oh I'm in neutral whoopsy

336
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:12,440
daisies I am not going very fast but it really feels like I am right now and I

337
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,960
was not paying attention to my co- driver what do you say I don't know but

338
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:18,880
I'm good I'm good I'm still alive something that's hard to even focus on

339
00:25:17,399 --> 00:25:25,279
on a course like this cuz everything's shaking all over the place and you're just trying to stay on the road is that

340
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,840
the game looks really really good we're

341
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:36,000
on a 3090 here running at what is it 3x 4K Alex yes this is freaking

342
00:25:31,159 --> 00:25:36,000
awesome woo oh my goodness I hit a

343
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:44,080
guy there is no question whatsoever that

344
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:49,559
the more feedback you can get into your body the more realism you get and like I

345
00:25:46,919 --> 00:25:54,720
can't believe what a polished State this is in for a game that isn't even out yet

346
00:25:52,679 --> 00:26:00,000
getting all these exotic peripherals to work with anything can be a challenging

347
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:04,000
at the best of times how long did it take to set this up be honest be honest

348
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,880
probably about 2 hours the hardest bit is that they don't have native triple

349
00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:11,559
monitor support so I had to go into a config file and get that all done you

350
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,960
can see how it's kind of strange in the menu yeah but the debox stuff was all

351
00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:19,640
fine yeah that just like worked oh that's so cool okay I'm ready to start

352
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:24,000
how' I do in my Shakedown other than being slow that was good slow is better

353
00:26:21,399 --> 00:26:29,360
than crashing out yeah all right let's go let's go what was your time uh 3:26

354
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,640
and how much of it is the Shakedown I don't know about a third of it okay so I

355
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,080
could be closer than I was yesterday yeah oh put it in first and give it full

356
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:48,960
revs oh my goodness well that's not a good start this is it

357
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:54,039
this is go time wait three left crap crap crap crap

358
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:58,720
crap I got to give her more gas this is a really long gas pedal whoa I do not

359
00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:03,399
need to give her more gas right now go slow slow is smart no no I got this i

360
00:27:01,399 --> 00:27:11,000
got this tight no it Titans over the crest I got this go for it no I'm not

361
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,000
flooring it Andy go floor it or go

362
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
home

363
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:22,880
okay whoa whoa buddy how do I get in

364
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:26,080
Reverse dang it I

365
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,320
stole crap dang it I stoed again we

366
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:36,240
won't count your penalties there's penalties for resetting oh jump 8

367
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:41,440
jump woo man if this gas pedal was a little

368
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:45,559
shorter I'd be having a way easier time with

369
00:27:43,159 --> 00:27:53,200
it stop it whoa what the hell this is something

370
00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:56,039
no I can't not stall this

371
00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:02,559
thing doesn't help I have to think about the lingo so much

372
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:07,120
oh man I am sweating right

373
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:11,559
now like freaking sweating right

374
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:15,120
now bad bump are you kidding me okay

375
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:17,440
that's a 5 minute 38 5 minutes

376
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:22,720
38 well let's see how you did with the penalties am I done oh shoot I wasn't

377
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:26,480
done no you're done you just need to it's the end of the rally you know you

378
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:30,640
need to go up to the Marshall did I just stall I just stalled just driving

379
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:34,679
in first what the heck happened okay just just floor it let the clutch go and

380
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:41,039
get up to the guy this is not that hard okay they they did it for you okay

381
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:44,559
penalty 17 seconds oh how' you do that

382
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:47,120
in 3 minutes something I I went a lot

383
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:51,640
faster than that well that felt really F seriously can you see how's my pitch

384
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:57,039
doing there you go from a five minute race no no the point is just like okay

385
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,480
oh yeah it's physically exhausting yeah in a way that no other game is

386
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:05,360
physically exhausting like this is what a 600 WT motor it's like grabbing on you

387
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:09,240
like moving around you got even with the bolsters you got to hold yourself that

388
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:13,919
was fun though there's no way I could play for hours at a time though man

389
00:29:11,399 --> 00:29:17,720
that's crazy not that stage in this no question in my mind sponsorship or not

390
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:22,880
that was a ton of fun and if you're into rally racing oh yeah especially fun but

391
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,600
the best way to experience it that's what we set out to answer and my tier

392
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:32,480
list goes a little something like this wheel without force feedback bottom of

393
00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:37,679
the barrel terrible controller with any kind of vibration way above yeah so like

394
00:29:35,159 --> 00:29:42,960
this much above and then literally anything with force feedback in wheel

395
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:48,360
it's like I don't know that much higher Y and then I'd say it's more fun with

396
00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:54,840
the better wheel but in terms of your capability to compete not that much no

397
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:58,640
so you're happy with your setup oh yeah for sure yeah I think most people would

398
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:04,600
be too and EA would would be really happy if we mentioned that EA Sports WRC

399
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:07,480
