One day after I convince myself that college isn't enough on my plate, I will go out and get a job, and save up for something like this. And it will be awesome.
Honest to god, I jumped into this video a few seconds in, and I was shocked that this was a game. I thought for SURE that you used the wrong video or something. From about :44 to 7 minutes in, I had not a single clue this wasn't real. I will also say the extra screen is useless, as the review used in game looks perfect.
@jorant this is to myself, but I see in another comment why you have it. Seems like a waste of money for the screen, extra game and extra xbox for that. I would just try to use my reviews and keep it as "authentic" as I could. Still, because of this and other videos like it, this IS going to be my next set up. Well done, sir.
Amazing set up! I cannot even tell where the monitors are separated. This set up seems very real. I have two questions for the owner of this set up. 1.) How did you get the drivers view (head) to look left and right, are you manually doing that or is that the game doing that? 2.) when you look left and right I noticed that the game does not go to the outside view and stays in the cockpit. Is this because of the way the monitors are set?
Thanks for posting this. It really looks like great fun!
@steflotti105 - a lot of other cars, especially the R class cars don't have a rearview mirror in cockpit view. I only play in cockpit view, so the extra rearview monitor is very useful for me.
Cost would be the price of 4 Xbox360, 4 Forza3 game, 3 LCD (24"), 1 LCD (9"), racing wheel, racing cockpit, plus another $100 or so for cables and network switch, etc. Price depends if you buy them new or used.
Nice setup. What size of screens are you using? I have two more xbox360's coming that are banned that I got for $65.00 each for a cheap setup. Will not be able to race online but I don't care about that. Too many dirty players that just run into you on corners. Already have the screens. One Dell 24" widescreen and my wife's 2 dell 24" widescreens. Different brands but the actual screens look like they will match up. Excited to try it out especially after seeing this setup. Again,,, nice job.
@angelstorm112 I am using 3 24" 1080p monitors (please a tiny 9" 480p monitor for the rearview). Ideally, the monitors should be 1080p (16:9) with HDMI input. Most older computer widescreens are 16:10 without HDMI, so beware. They may all be 24", but their aspect ratio may be different. Just make sure that they are not only all the same size, but also the same aspect ratio (16:9 or 16:10).
You can see pictures of my setup from the link in the description area under my name.
@vnano In order to have everything aligned, the camera must be at the proper seating position. If I had zoomed out to see my setup also, you would not experience the proper in-game experience.
However, there is a link under this video's description with pictures and discussion of my setup.
@tlamming In the video, I am using 47 degrees per screen with 3 "hidden" degrees. The proper settting depends on your actual seating position and the angle of the screens. What is right for me may not work for you. My center screen is about 2 feet from my eyes.
if i could afford this id play all day

Um, isn't this need for speed shift 2. I noticed the head tracking the road, a feature not in Forza 3.

This video looks so fluid and the sense of speed is incredible, way to go recording this during real game play as 60fps made a huge difference.

Can you tell me what settings you are using for your setup? It looks perfect. Id like to set my 24" triple monitor setup the same way. Thanks!
