I really appreciate your channel bc you are a real race car driver and you're teaching us "wannabe race car enthusiasts" how to get the best setup on a racing sim. Great channel!

[stefanwehinger]

Would you actually consider comparing one car, one track in iR, AMs2, rF2, AC, ACC just in terms of physics and FFB? This would probably the the most viewed YT video of all sim racing channels.

[Phornung]

Amazing content, exactly what this community was missing. Keep on the awesome work! Can’t wait for more stuff from you. Greetings from Toronto!

[maxwinemiller]

Loving the content. Keep it coming. I like your unbiased content. Glad to see an actual racer giving advice.

[MrEnagee]

thanks for this ...i feel like too many real drivers are afraid or dont know how to translate real life to sim...plus you sound more honest and approachable.

Hey Daniel, once again, this video is a gem and exactly what the community needs. I used your previous TD settings and felt that it was a bit raw, notchy and the steering wheel would vibrate to an uncontrollable feedback loop if not held. The new version feels much more refined while still keeping all the detail. The only thing I found that is still slightly more jolty is striking the kerbs. On tracks with high kerbs like Nordschleife it does feel quite rough to the point where you subconsciously start to avoid the kerbs. So I just turned up slew rate to 1.2 and it feels much gentler. Thanks again!

[TRH]

Thanks Daniel - this helps a lot always wondered what you real life GT3 drivers actually experience and what that equates to on a sim keep the awesome vids coming.

[joshq]

Thanks, Daniel. Picking up a simucube today thanks to your responses in stream. Will definitely use these settings to start. Enjoy your time in France!

[Alexkcaruso]

This video and the last one about ergonomics have been so helpful for me. I didn't realize how important those topics were until watching your videos, thank you so much Daniel! Keep up the great work!

[Shiny-Robot]

Great to hear feedback from someone who has the experience to compare real with the sim thanks

[denmarq_]

i just want to clarify that setting the wheelbase to 25Nm and iR max force to 50Nm does not just set your FFB to 12.5Nm. It just means it requires 50Nm of output from the sim to reach 25Nm on the wheel, so depending on the car you could very well be way above 12.5Nm depending on how much force the car puts out.

[richardople]

You're killing it with content bro!

[sprintermaximus]

Grateful for this Daniel. Been watching you on track and knowing your expertise and skill there translated into the sim is awesome. Thanks for the detail on this. I have a pretty slim setup, but these details go a long way for me on all 3 sims I use. Thanks!!

[simbits]

After observing the drivers reactions to wheel movements and sensations in real life I use my SC2 Pro at around 12-13 Nm, it's good to have this confirmed by someone with RL experience. A useful and well presented video I look forward to your single seater settings.

[ihamptonii]

Great information coming from an experienced pro race car driver.
Thanks for making this video. So much erroneous information I heard on other videos about needing 20 Nm of Afb to get the true feel of a GT3 car.
You've helped set the record straight.

[dhyatt]

This was a great video very insightful. I also had the pleasure of driving your racing simulator at CTMP during the 2023 Chevrolet Grand Prix and it was a blast. Your brake pedal setup was a little stiffer than I am used to but I had a great time testing your setup. 🤓

[redneck]

Hi, thanks so much for your advice ! I only drive old heel and toe manual cars in Assetto Corsa and Automobalista 2, but using your logic, I was able to get my Simucube Pro to feel better than it ever has in both sims. So much more feel of connection to the road, which enables me to power out of corners earlier with full confidence of what grip levels I have available. I am also able to initiate deliberate drifts on tracks like Goodwood in the Shelby Cobra and confidently hold the drift right to the edge of the track every lap. Again, thanks for the help, much appreciated !

[mbf]

And he’s a pro telling you this most would argue with the man this is great stuff 🤙🏾

[TRexTravis]

I must say, i used your profile on my simucube at all of the settings you had in and damn! I have even more respect for GT3/4 drivers. Ended up going down to 16nm of strength in trudrive. Keep up the amazing content and also congratulations to you and your team on P3 at Laguna!

[TONAH]

I hope you can come back and answer a few questions that people are asking. You are not using high torque correct? This looks significantly easier than running this profile at high torque. Also, you said you are turning FFB down on iracing. How much are you turning FFB down? You mentioned in your video you think it's more like 12nm. Thanks
