My last two vids were running the TBO class. A few guys requested something faster and open wheeled. I don't really drive the BF1 or F08, so hopefully the FOX will be good enough. Just like my other vids, this is my home setup using a G25, three pedals, and a projector. I put some pics of the setup at the end of the video, since so many people have asked about it. Once again, due to my crappy camera the quality isn't great and the colors are washed out. But, you get the idea of what the experience is like.

My times aren't great, but I run consistent 1:03s and manage to avoid quite a lot of carnage, especially in T1 on the first lap. I was running 1:01-1:02 the other night, but of course I didn't have the camera running then!

Enjoy.

oh finally,you should really make more of these.

The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

Damn now I need a projector.

Really cool. Next time turn off the HUD stuff

It was available for me, even before I started the thread.

Heh. I figured someone would mention that. I usually turn the HUD off, but had *just* joined the server when the race started. I didn't have time to really do anything unless I wanted to sit out the race while I messed with my settings. So, I just said "screw it" and went ahead.

Nice setup! I am about to sort out my LFS setup. Is that a projector or plasma and if it is a projector, are you rearprojecting or something?

It's an InFocus ScreenPlay 5000 front projector, running 1280x720 (720p) resolution. I bought it, oh, about 9 months ago, I suppose. It was retail $1,000 at the time, but I got it on sale for $600. You can probably find them for around $4-500 used on eBay, I'd wager.

Great stuff - I must get a projector and convert one of my rooms into "the LFS room" =)

If you look at the pictures of my setup at the end of the vid, you can see that I found a way to have my cake and eat it too. I setup the screen in the closet of my office. If I need the extra room, or want to make the office look "tidy", I just push my seat into the closet, close the curtains, and that's it.

Edit: of course, I'm now planning a full-on cockpit to be kept in the basement. But my current setup is reasonably stealthy and wife-friendly, all things considered.

I don't drive Aston all that often, especially not in the open wheelers. Even in the slower tin tops, that damn chicane ALWAYS ends up biting me in the ass.
