here is a tip for people who dont have the room for triple monitor's go get a single Ultrawide 21:9 or a Super Ultrawide 32:9 monitor that will save on having a bulky 3 monitor stand, I switched to 21:9 and now I cant go back to 16:9 as feels to small no matter the screen size.

One thing that really helped me was Sim 3D rumble kit for pedals. A DDU is also a must-have but I saved a ton of money using an eBay ($25) iPad mini and a DIY mount.

[AnomieDomine]

I've not tried a triple screen but the depth of field and sense of speed from VR makes cornering way more natural

[billgulker]

My list includes a high quality round wheel. I like shifting with my H pattern and sequential shifter as much as paddle shifters. I only use the H pattern and sequential shifter with my round wheel.

Wicked video and really nice gear!

I have Slip-Angle bass shakers and love them, so I totally agree with you on getting something to add vibration.

[nflisrigged]

Butt kicker or any shaker .
Dayton makes one, too.

Driving gloves .

Cool seat belts, all adds to realistic

Fanetec v3 pedals, so good,
I love how they shake when i lose grip.

[Rene_Bo]

Triples, DDU and my VPG VRSPG Pro wheel are among the top. But bass shaker is up there as well.. You are on point with this list 😊

[jeffreytackett]

Yes, I'd say the $799 LCD screen is probably overkill. Especially when you could literally buy a 3D printer, a good LCD, and everything else you need to build your own, and still have money left over for other things.

[SiCaRiI_DaGgEr]

Perfect timing. I'm in the process of getting the Sim DDU 6.8" and run the LovelySimRacing UI on it. I do need the bezel free kit so your code will come in handy. I'm also looking at the Slip-Angle spring mounted Transducer kit. I just picked up the Elagato Stream Deck as well

[Marco-rgvw]

Unfortunately, I first need to win the lottery to afford all of that, but great video. Keep up the good work and your number of views will rise!

[SerialDriver]

Good top. I would just push bass shakers instead of buttkicker. For less money you can have 2 or even more, so you can allocate more precisely the effects, get stereo effect...

[Calcearius]

I use sim dashboard on both an old phone and tablet rather than a DDU, for the price you can't really go wrong. Same with stream deck, I use another tablet with touch portal. Don't get physical buttons with feedback so not as viable for VR use and has a bit more setting up to do but again for the cost you can't go wrong. 25 bucks and I have hundreds of dash layouts and essentially a stream deck with 100 buttons.

Does require you to have a few spare devices to run all these things though so probably not worth it unless you have them.

[taotoo]

Overload!!! Many very good points to be aware of when starting my sim life in F1

[imJGott]

i think my top must have is a sim dash, rather its in the wheel or a display. the added information is needed

[lukebraddford]

Is the porsche text a sticker on the DDU? Can it be removed?

[bmwMMM]

6:20 that thing where you connect the wheel coiled cable at…? That left thing right next to button box…What is that specific and the wheel isn’t like a round thing with usb ?

[Dani_Jari]

hi... Can you assign functions such as TC +-, ABS +-, seat up down, ffb + -, etc... to that Stream Deck Plus rotaries?

[richardarguello]

Would it be accurate to say just get VR instead of triple screen for people who don’t get motion sickness?

[StaticAvalanche]

Quick question the fan on the screen where did you get this 2:27
