as a test can any one connect to my server please ?


server name is: rift-users

my only requests are :

1)
fps cap isn't limited to 100 (I suspect setting at 151 would be good for me)

2)
replay cams are sorted (fixed so we move our heads to follow cars)

3)
+head movements (virtual following real head ) further improved


I'm happy with everything else


( no vsync , uncapped fps )

Quote from Flame CZE :

Yes, just extract the archive to your LFS folder. Make sure there is a new file Rift.psh in your data/shaders folder. That's what makes the chromatic aberration work.

ok thanks , I'll check

agreed, LFS devs are putting other/bigger software houses to shame right now,
the recognition is well deserved

we just extract to the LFS folder right?

I've updated but (although I'm very happy) not seeing much difference
do we have to delete an old shader file or something?

the best just got better !

thanks for update!

all my PC is being used for right now is LFS with the dk2


if LFS f3 does get released & it includes the laser scanned track even if it's a beta version
(if that's all it includes that's ok) I'll upgrade to s2 & s3 in one go !

Quote from SlamDunk :

I've always wondered why those are not turned on by default, since it makes the experience so much better, and would increase the sim aspect of LFS even more.

I can't have any in-sim head movement as I'm using a motion rig
I need an in-sim head movement off, (as my head moves in rig naturally)

In any case I think if it were on with the rift it could cause nausea

best it stays off

how do we create these layouts ?

re.sounds

yes I noticed the same -sounds need to be directional & linked
if possible

Quote from museumsteve :

Excellent patch...persuaded me to grab an S2 licence

I've not looked around so if its been mentioned before ignore me:-

1 - Is there a reset VR button (to reset/re-centre view) or is tehre no need after initial centering when you start?

2 - Is there an option to moved the drivers seat position, up/down/in/out. If so can we map it

yes it's all there in the options -you'll find it

tried the new patch


the experience is very very good.

few points:

1)
I tried both vsync & no vsync (& no fps cap)
no vsync is better for me & more fluid, my fps seems to ceiling & fix at 333.3
*could we add a fps cap at any figure? (not highest 100 as it is now)

2)
I actually liked the previous individual mip map level sliders but I still managed to achieve the same quality with just one, so maybe this is best (as some people will get in a mess with multiple ones)

3)
the low persistence -I seem to feel mine was running in this mode before this update


4)
loving LFS in the dk2 so I'm not moaning but would it be possible for all the existing cameras to simply have a fixed view -then we can just move our heads to follow the cars? .....we can then enjoy replays


so as a conclusion -well done and a big thanks for the update
& requests :

A) ability to cap at any frame rate (200,300,400 etc)

B) replay cams to be fixed view (so head tracking can follow cars etc)

force to 60% in the t500 profiler is optimum

(any more than that is a no no in any circumstance or software title)

Quote from Scawen :

While I've been developing Rift support, Eric has been continuing making the Westhill scenery even better than was ever planned to be. And I can tell you that is great fun to drive around on!

The Rift DK2 support, although unfinished, is spreading the word about LFS more than any other thing in recent times. We are also selling more licenses and have new racers joining the community...

If someone wants to get sarcastic about that, they can do so and I will just laugh at them.

your doing great Scawen
you have convinced me that my dk2 is fantastic with sim racing,
you've also implemented fantastic support for VR in LFS

I hope LFS gets lots of new members ( like me -I've only had it less than a week) , here are people now ordering dk2's because of LFS-dk2 talk.

releasing that laser scanned track would really cause a stir even if it's just a beta version

again well done

thanks,I see now, you select which screen for it to record -it's not displaying on your monitor

thanks

nice vid -how did you record the video ?

you managed clone mode?


(I can't display the rift feed on my monitor without everything screwing up)

a fan blowing directly at your upper body including face stops all discomfort for he ( no sweat non steam up )


the implementation as it now for LFS I'm finding fantastic
......this low persistance thing is it on now ( or if at the moment ? ) by default


( I'm not running vsync and detecting no lag what so ever it like a 1:1 experience )

nice vid thanks


I'm getting great results too

but how do we get the visual on the monitor as well ??

I tried and it worked in clone mode but it messed up when I switched back
in extended everything worlds great, but no LFS image on monitor

????

monitors gone, VR all the way from now on!

( one monitor going on wall for windows desktop )

I run uncapped & no vsync,
fps 333.3

what is this low persistence switch?

also great for the developer(s)


I know about 6 people who are buying LFS when their rifts arrive
( as I did)

actually impressed with LFS in general & the speedy dk2 implementation was a totally great move

thanks to the dev(s)

the 1:1 direct feel that I get with the dk2 is zero ( ok ....unnoticeabe/extremely low ) & no messing fov + no diddling around with triple screens or trying to get best & most realistic view etc, the dk2 is giving 1:1 feel of vision + seamless tracking, to me this video sums it up

( the resolution inside the dk2 is a better than this YouTube vid )

http://youtu.be/GTJZTc1U1tM


done a pretty decent motion profile for my rig too & VR works extremely well with it


what I've been doing in live for speed (which is what reminded me of the senna vid ) (not my upload)

http://youtu.be/wqMQPuuMXuo

I'm at over 300fps -no vsync, no tearing, no judder, no track problems at all

getting close to those walls at speed & on the edge with a 3d VR headset on is incredible

p.s trying to crack 40 secs .....anyone else trying?

new to LFS

( dk2 owner )

are there any tracks other than the official ones?

eg mods ?

also is it easy to host so friends can join ?
