2016-10-15
that this thing's been in development for a while okay it's a racing simulator but it's unprecedented is it crazy yeah maybe so MA I love these old LED displays call up algae I said guys why send me one when you could send me three power them up juice them up GTX Titans times three system from main gear but the moment is now the truth is here let me break it down for you so the displays obviously very big these are 65 inch TVs and the difficult part was figuring out just how to rig them up in such a fashion that would work I found these mounts here company called RC it allows for you to essentially maneuver displays various sizes now OLED why OLED what you end up with is incredibly vibrant colors lots of saturation it's a really nice viewing experience if you want more information on that go watch the original video so once I got those things set up it was like alright gotta drive these pixels well lucky enough I had the system from main gear also featured in a previous video it had a GTX Titan but it wasn't enough still for all these pixels so I had to go out then put a few more in there beefed it up a little bit the racing specific stuff I looked around I did a little bit of research I wanted something I don't know just to be on the same caliber as the other components I looked beyond those logitech wheels and moved up to a company called fnatic so whether you're playing project cars or you're playing dirt when you're at a high speed and China it's fighting back against you like an actual steering wheel would now this part on the front it's called the rim this one is a replica from the Porsche 918 metal pedals brake clutch and those are even adjustable if you want to get crazy with it now everything attaches to this seat the seat makes it easy they make these in a couple of different configurations and colors and this one is Aniceto course a special edition which is red and black let me jump in the seat and show you how it all operates just do a little what I look like I look like Michael Schumacher huh so this game I'm playing right here this is called project cars kind of like a video game controller allows you to navigate around I'm in practice mode right now there's so many different tracks to choose from including of course the Nurburgring when it comes to cars I told you is a lot to pick from street cars all the way up to f1 car LeMond style cars what you guys are noticing here this guideline that's on the track green means you're okay at the speed you're traveling at yellow is you better start to slow down a bit and red is you're coming in way too hot so that's just a little explanation there I'll try and get it up to red let's see here see so you can see it starts to turn red you need a break downshift anyway it's essentially you're I'm crashing a million multi-million dollar car you see you could do it in a simulator can't do that in real life it's a way of becoming more comfortable with the various tracks of course going into you don't know what the approach looks like or the next turn looks like so as you're kind of becoming familiar with the track it's nice to have those indicators eventually you can turn that off on tracks that you're familiar with so there you have it a peek at this thing that I built I want to give a shout out to LG for making this setup possible to open invite all you got to do is bring the pizza bring the beer and you could have free rein come over in and drive a virtual version of a two million dollar car sound like a deal
