 This is instead of another one to blame. Negative thoughts erase back to where they came. You can do it. You can do it. You got everything to gain. Traces of my grandmother is in my brain. That kind of loss will make you go insane. But I go through it. Nothing's impossible. Just do what you got to do. The first steps, the hardest after that thing not stopping you. The motivation had a lot of fire to take it higher than your passion. I admire. What's up everybody? I'm EvilRabbit and we are here. If you haven't noticed by the beginning, I have made a major upgrade to my wheel setup. And that is of my new Phantatec wheelbase. I got the full Forza edition Phantatec bundle with hydraulic cambrake. So instead of doing the traditional box opening video of all this stuff since there's nothing really new products, I figured I would just get it all set up, talk a little bit about it real quick. And then get into the main thing that everybody really wants to see. Gameplay. And we are going to be playing some Dirt Rally 2.0 today with our new Phantatec setup. We are rocking the Phantatec V2.5 base. Club sport hydraulic 1.5V handbrake. We do have the shifter, which is H-Pattern 7 gears. And it has the switch on the side to flip it to sequential mode, which we will be using today in sequential mode. It also has the larger shift knob that I have on it now. Quick screws off to the shorter little ball shift knob if I want to do that. We are going to be using the taller sequential style shift knob. Very quick and easy to snap back in place. Super excited that I finally have the Phantatec rig I've wanted. I've been wanting one of these for a very long time. It's been something I've been wanting forever and I finally have a chance to get it. We do have the full Forza edition metal pedals down there, full pressurized and stuff like that. And we do have the Forza Motorsports edition leather wheel on the Xbox hub with the quick release and everything. Paddle shifters, all the buttons on top as well as on the sides. So we are going to get this put on here real quick. Do it this way. Get it snapped in nice and tight. Then we quickly switch it to the Xbox mode and we are good to go. So we are going to go load up Dirt Rally 2.0 here today. So we are going to switch the wheel cam to the smaller wheel cam so we can actually see Dirt Rally 2.0 in the background. So I've been having a lot of fun on Dirt Rally. This wheel makes it totally different to drive. The feeling of this new Phantatec wheel and the adjustability on the little LCD screen is definitely insane. I hear the rally cars in the background. So definitely super excited to update my rig to this full Phantatec setup. It's just something I've been wanting for a very long time. So nice to have my buttons that I can move around if I want. We'll be leaving it there. I will be putting my energy innovations wheel on there of course. But I wanted to run it with the actual Forza Motorsports wheel on there right now. Which is kind of cool because it's more of a race style wheel. So we are running factory settings on the Logitech. Logitech got to get used to saying Phantatec. We are running all the factory settings here on the Phantatec rig. We did adjust the settings in the game to be a little bit less because the Forza Feedback on this is so much heavier. And I just adjusted it a little bit to not break my arms. So we're going to just hop right into this, see what events we got going on. I think we are in a rallycross event. We are in the Ford Fiesta, so we should hop into it and just go right to it. Because having a lot of fun here on Dirt Rally 2.0, you guys have been asked for more dirt content. So here we go. New rig, new setup, sequential shifter setup, hydraulic cam brake. And the one thing I like most about this is the fact that it's all just worked. Once I plugged it all in, did the software update, everything worked. I didn't have to worry about wiring anything else. I don't have to worry about breaking it open and wiring anything into it. I do have some custom things that I'm doing to it here in the next episode or two. Getting stuff 3D printed to make this rig even more awesome. You can't express the joy that I have to finally have something that I've been wanting for a very long time. I've been working to try to get this Phantatec setup for a very long time. And I finally had the means to get one. And well, it has just changed the outlook of this games for me. So it looks like we're just going to be on grid and going into straight up starting. So I don't remember the course. I think I ran a practice lap with the Phantatec to make sure everything was good. But this is a lot more intense of a game with the Phantatec rig. So, well, we're just going to go into it. Not sure what views I'm going to be running today. Third person, first person, not sure. We're going to be running the sequential. We don't need to run the paddles unless we want to. And well, here we go. That's good to know. So it looks like we were in first person view. Let's run some third person for the first run out today. Run to race. Watch your launch. Rallycross, snap-on tools. Fiesta, really bad launch, but just banging the gears in this sequential. Trying not to get screwed. Going to try and stay smooth, smooth as possible. So like I said, the force feedback on the Phantatec rig is a lot heavier and a lot more intense. The feeling you get from all the bumps and everything is just... It gives you the ability to drive a little bit differently because you have more feeling. And it's more precise feel. Well, it's super quiet. You don't hear anything at all with it being belt driven and all that stuff. You don't hear the clicking of the G920 gears. I still have my G920, and I plan on still probably building another rig to have the G920 set up as well to still do G920 content. And now, just enjoying this Phantatec, having a lot of fun with it. A lot of good content coming to the channel. But I'm super excited to introduce you guys to the new Phantatec rig here on the channel. I hope you guys are mad that I switched to a Phantatec and I'm not running the G920 at the moment. But we will be doing some G920 stuff as well, but definitely going to be having a lot of fun with this. I got a chance to use my buddies last weekend in the Simrig event. He has the same set up as I do now. He bought one as well. Oh, jeez. It's a little bit more of a workout with this. I got to get used to where this handbrake is because it's not as vertical as my other one is. And the way I have it mounted, it's kind of lean back, but it doesn't really get in my way too much. We're just banging gears. We're going to run the Joker this lap. We can get our Joker out of the way. It looks like we're going to have to catch up to this man because he did take his Joker lap. So we're going to have to not lose it. One thing I am noticing about Dirt Rally is this game is very intense. It's really hard. You could lose control really quickly. And I'm not sure if I like the decode wheel right now because it's kind of weird grabbing that flat bottom. This is probably more of a race car wheel for GTLM racing and track racing. Not this kind of racing probably should be on the NRG wheel because I don't need the paddles. Because we're rocking the sequential. Don't think I'm going to catch him. We do some really good trickery moves. We're going to definitely try and catch him. Probably run the next qualifying session in first person. A couple different views here for today. Oh no. And that's what I talked about. You could just instantly lose it in this mud here on this game. Kind of overturned myself there and could not gain control. So unfortunately we're going to take a third in this first qualifying heat. This wheel is so much more intense. I'm going to have to slide my pedals a little bit. So unfortunately I was not able to get first but we took third. Not by much. But I keep going over here thinking my buttons are over here because I'm so used to it with my G920. So qualifying round two. I'm just going to go right into it. We're not going to restart that because definitely getting used to the different rig. I probably could change the settings a little bit on it if I wanted to. But I want to run it how it is first out of the box and then go work with settings from there. So what do we got? We're not going to repair vehicle. I don't think we did anything too dramatic. What did we do? Body work. Yeah. Body works fine. We'll just go without replacing by work. Not really too worried about that. So we're going to switch up the view. I like having my buttons here again. I know when I took them all off my G920 I thought it was awesome. But you know you forget about the little things like paddle shifters. Having them here is definitely cool for different games and stuff like that. So we've been doing a lot more different racing games with this wheel and doing some more track racing and stuff like that with the ability now of being on paddles and such. So we're going to race this one in first person. A little bit better of a start while we're already getting hit. Nice and easy. Got to stay off the rumble strips. That's what bit me in that last race. Hitting that rumble strip kind of screwed up my line. As I say that we hit the rumble strip here. So definitely going to be doing a lot of drifting stuff here very soon because I'm very curious how this wheel feels on Horizon 4 and 4th Motorsport 7 with the drift mode and everything that this wheel does have. The ability to turn drift mode on and off on the wheel is definitely kind of cool because I can keep a very stiff wheel feel when I'm running race cars and I can get that looser feel when I'm running drift cars. I think we're just going to take our joker right away. Part of the brakes. The brake pedal does have an adjustment dial that I can change it and make the brake pedal a little bit harder if I want. I can turn it to basically like the G920 pedal where it had the rubber stopper in it where you have to stand on the pedals. So these pedals are not inverted like my G920. So I'm so used to the inverted pedals that are kind of getting used to the all floor mount pedals now. I'm not super worried about this man being ahead of me because he did not take his joker. So as long as we stay smooth and not lose it we still should pass him through the joker. I hope. So if you guys played Dirt Rally 2.0 you guys know this game is not easy. This is probably one of the hardest rally games that I've played in a long time. The first Dirt Rally was not easy either especially not on a wheel. It feels so much more satisfying on the wheel when you can actually win a race and do really good lines and full stages and stuff because then you have a sense of accomplishment of being able to complete it all on a wheel and definitely going to be trying to do some of the stuff that I was doing on the channel with the drift builds and stuff like that on this wheel. Taking seeing what the difference is really with going from a $400 lodge attack to the full expensive fan attack wheel set up I think we're going to take first in this one. I think we're finally getting a groove here in this car and this course. We're rocking the Snap-on sponsorship, running Snap-on gloves. I thought it was kind of fitting. It's one thing I like about Dirt 4 where you can put sponsorships on the cars and stuff. This just says preset deliveries. That's definitely one better thing I liked about Dirt 4, the ability to make deliveries but this one, oh god don't lose it now. We literally almost just lost this race in the last turn. Trying to stay smooth, got to keep on my breaking points and not hit the walls. Running that red line, trying not to shift if I don't have to. Here we go. We'll take first on that qualifying heat. So definitely good doing, like I said, some of the stuff on Horizon 4 that I've already done going with some of my other drift cars that I've already built, like the M4s and stuff and trying it on this and giving you guys kind of a comparison of how, oh I ran a fashion lab there, everybody, how it feels in comparison to what I'm used to. So this is definitely a big step up from Logitech being, you know, a twin motor belt drive nice and smooth, very quiet. There's no clicking noises, which is one thing I can't get over the fact that how smooth and precise it is and, you know, having the handbrake here that's really nice spring loaded and the shifter being able to go sequential and H-pattern and having a seventh gear on this one, unlike Logitech but being able to go sequential without having to put rubber bands on it and stuff like that, that's kind of why I was super excited to get this and, you know, we're gonna we're gonna do a standard fix on there we'll do a standard fix on all that stuff right now firmware pairs, fix the car up for the next qualifying heat. So I hope you guys are enjoying the dirt content I hope you guys are enjoying the new rig set up here on the channel like I said, I'm hopefully going to be building maybe next to it with the Logitech on it to still do Logitech stuff and do kind of a comparison between one and one I think we're gonna switch to the closer outside view for this race love those backfires we got a good jump on that one guys seems to be faster though we're gonna try something different in this lap we're gonna take our Joker first lap out see how it plays into our favor the sounds of this game are insane that's why I love being outside the car because just the pops the sounds like some of the other cars that don't wreck me, don't wreck me I feel like I was wrecking him though some of the sounds that these cars make like the Subaru's and the Evo's and the rally car it's just awesome sounding and the graphics are stunning in this game and it's a lot of fun man just like lost that excuse me, I'm gonna bank off you ooh so I don't have to worry too much about these guys ahead of me because they still have Jokers to take so we're gonna take those positions back so now we just gotta keep close to this man in front to make sure we pass him when he takes his Joker oh gosh so the one good thing I did notice with going from the Logitech to the Phantatech the speed that this Phantatech has is so much more than that G920 so the ability to counter steer on certain aspects with the force feedback is a lot quicker so I'm definitely gonna be very excited when I get drifting to see how quickly the counter steer is and everything in like drift mode and stuff like that so that's one thing I'm super excited at how fast and precise this is this is gonna be a close race when he comes out of this Joker just barely took it we gotta stay up there though 2 laps to go so make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter all of it in the description box below hope you guys do enjoy this content if you guys wanna see more dirt rally 2.0 let me know in the comment section down below I'd like to start doing some rally cross events with the team here possibly very soon and having some online fun here in this game definitely gonna wanna get used to this wheel before I try and throw myself to the wolves of all those other guys so if you guys do have a fan attack and you have some settings let me know what settings you guys are running cause it definitely curious to see what other settings people are running cause I'm just running pretty much the stock ones right now and then I will update them from there how I feel fit for my own personal driving style I'll lose it I'll lose it on the last lap so I think this is gonna be the last race for today here on the channel definitely gonna finish off this series and get into some rally racing and rally stages here in dirt rally and get back on the horizon 4 with the fan attack and 4-7 as well maybe do some project cars too and a set of Corsa as well so make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter, all of which are found in the description box below I do appreciate you coming back hope you guys are enjoying the content and as always thank you guys for watching I'm April Rabbit and I will see you guys next time
