Niels, I'll try to record while I drive tonight. The rFactor replay systrem just don't give enough fidelity, and don't give enough credit. I'll post some incar stuff from Road Atlanta in a little while.

we had the most amazing few races last night on Road Atlanta. Just awesome. I felt like being part of a best motoring clip or something. Totally awesome. This mod is better than LFS, imo.

Just played the first act of the full game... Looks stunning, runs great. Not as good atmosphere as I had hoped, though. It's not real scary, like. Intense, but not scary. Nowhere near FEAR in that department. The story is good, but not stunning. Maybe my expectations were just too high.

yeah.. Not like LFS, where you get 4 years of enjoyment for free... I can't wait for friday!

Maybe the demo is too short to bring out the brilliance of teh storyline? Maybe someone go into the demo with the wrong attitude? The actual action might not be revolutionary, but the 'whys' and the 'whats' seem to be.

Damn that looks awesome! /me wants!

Poetic, and just the way I feel about the 'Ring.

*whips out rFactor and the Caterham*

Seems to have progressed quite a bit since I last worked on it, Niels! Good work!

I'm planning on doing the same thing with my friend's RX-7 FD '93. Maybe I could come to you for advice?

Actually, a 2048 skin is 4 times the size of a 1024 skin, and 16 times a 512 skin, in pixel count. Double the resolution, quadruple the pixel count.

I got GRAW working with single core, though. But the 3d effect was pretty poor in that game for some reason. I never got a proper depth effect at all. Might have something to do with z-depth imlementation or whatever. But it orks in single core, and most cames don't use both cores anyway, so... Too bad FSX does, in a way. And Oblivion too...

Solution: It was dual core that messed it up. Set nHancer to use only one core for LFS, and it works.

Hello.

I got my glasses yesterday, and have been struggling with them since. I got them working in the nVidia control panel test thing, the eDimensional screen saver and Shipsim2008, but no other games I have can run them. My computer hangs with sound looping, and I have to hard reset the poor thing.

I use nvidia 91.31 drivers and stereodriver on two XFX 7900GTX cards. I have tried disabling SLi, although nVidia claim the 91.31 stereo driver support SLi. I just can't see what shipsim does differently from FSX, LFS, GRAW, NFS:C and the other titles I have tried.

Any tips? Any other drivers I shoud try? I have tried the 78.01 drivers that came with the glasses. Same thing there.

The glasses are awesome when they work, my kids have been trying to catch stuff coming out of the monitor all day, and I took my wife on a guided tour of the Titanic and she loved it. But I'd like to race with them!

My setup:
Intel E6700
Asus P5N32-SLI deluxe
2pcs XFX 7900GTX
2Gb Corsair PC6700 RAM
150gb Raptor 10k
Eizo F67 19" CRT running 1024x768 @100Hz
Samsung 930 running 1280x1024 @75Hz

also, this is mostly true for the G25, the other wheels are too slow and have too much lateny to rely that much on the feedback.

Ok. I figured it was the vertical component of gravity that was the main force here. Maybe Tronicgr can enlighten us both? And about the 30 times less than the 301, how much HAVE you spent on components?

How is the latency of this system? From the videos it looked like quite a delay from the on-screen action until the platform was in the corresponding position.
Awesome job, btw! Looks very well built, and I envy you so much!

Sweet!

One I took of my wife last night. Thought it turned out pretty nice. i usually Photoshop the crap out of my images, but this one is straight off the camera.

Quote from Tweaker :

The G25 is only slightly faster, but still not fast enough. I don't know of any other wheel that is full rotation and will reverse spin faster then those two wheels . You can still get good with what you have, but there is a much higher risk of making a mistake because of the sluggish motors.

Well... with my G25 I pretty much let go of the wheel, stomp the throttle and the car sorts itself out. That's fast enough in my book. The DFP felt really, really slow in comparison, but that can of course be the brake thing.

Awwww.. I could watch that all day.

People at work ask me why I play a stupid kiddie car game... Then I showed them this vid... 3 of them asked if there was a demo.. Good job!

God help us when we get changing track conditions like temperatures and stuff... And how about wind?

It's the same for everyone, deal with it.

I use a second monitor and a separate desk for mine. That way I can have it mounted at all times, the seat in the good racing position and all the good bits where I need them. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, so I just take them with me. Switching monitors via desktop is a 5 second thing and no hassle. Works great for me.

Spoiler alert! Please put a *SPOILER* in the title!

Also, the BHP/tonne is PEAK values. One car might have a very wide powerband and be able to accelerate much more evenly than a car with the same peak power, but a narrower band, where acceleration would come in burst. Power is area under the torquecurve, not peak horsepower, in my book.

It's weird, cause it sounds just like mine when it picks up a stray light source. have you tried light filtering? What about turning the lights off altogether, just to test? I have a light in my room that affect my TIR, and I can't see it in the tracker window. Once I learned to switch that off before using the TIR I was all right.

Regarding centering, just map a key to your wheel or keyboard, I need to center quite often, and everybody else does too.

Totally useless post: Just wanted to let Scawen know the 6DOF works very well, and the limits seem decent. I can lift my head out of the car, though. Maybe set up a 'box' or some limits for the view to move? This could be applied to the g-force movement as well, unless you want to model broken windows.. Good job, Scawen!
