> Go to WMR settings/ Headset display tab / Experience option> put it to "Best visual quality"

This turned out to be the fix for my weird visual problem! Without it, the image is weirdly skewed. All works now! This is great!

I'll have to experiment with this to see what the change is. I know it'll do a lower resolution but I wonder if it's reporting a incorrect distortion matrix or something.

It'd be really nice for OpenXR headsets if LFS natively supported OpenXR. It's the clear future for VR and removes unneeded layers.

Quote from Ped7g :

The existing limits in games are often based on underlying technology, ie. the programmer usually try what largest value still works correctly and then uses something slightly lower as limit.

Maybe it was just some limit which did look right to Scawen and can be easily raised, but with 100Hz physics engine and current tires I wouldn't be completely shocked if the limit is actually near what the engine simulates reasonably and going beyond it would cause some stuff to break.

That said the 1000Hz physics experiment may help a bit with some cumulative integration errors making the physics less prone to "explode", although it will also make many values to operate in smaller values which may lose some precision on bottom instead, causing new issues elsewhere.

But I would guess (with very limited knowledge, I did myself only trivial physics simulations, nowhere near the car-physics) something like very strong engine may be one of those points where 1000Hz is slightly more stable than 100Hz simulation.

EDIT: or maybe this is not related to physics simulation at all and 500kW limit was just nice for the UI/editor.

Which 500kW is a good limit for the aforementioned Porsche while in "Race" mode. It is only insufficent while in quali mode where the power is basically doubled.

Quote from Snoop.DriftEra :

I remember the days of Pereulok crack servers. Pereulok never made money on LFS. And Pereulok's connection quality was way better than LFS in 2022, which surprised me. There was a rumor that Pereulok takes LFS' audience away. But since Pereulok voluntarily shot itself down, i don't see much population online at official servers since then.
Not justifying crack servers, I just want to say that THIS conception seems to be fail either.

Or the crack servers dragged away legitimate users whose "version" stopped working and then they found somethjing else instead.

Yeah like the Porsche Mission R has a rear motor thats about 500kW (600~ HP) and a front that's about 300kW (400HP)

I just bought an ASUS TUF 3090ti 24GB graphics card and when I got it home it wouldn't fit into my tower

I had to upgrade my case and PSU. I can't believe how big the card is. By 2025 it will make a good boat anchor I suppose.

I had a similar experience when I bought my 970. Needed to upgrade to a full ATX case and have never looked back

Quote from joordy599 :

hello,

I bought a month ago an iMac but windows doesn't supported with a M2 Chip, is there any possibility to play Live For Speed on the iMac for M2 chips?

Best option is Parallels to run a Windows VM. It's not free and is asoftware with an annual subscription and still requires a valid Windows licence but it does work.

In theory Crossover for Mac should work as well but there seems to be some regressions the last time I tried and it crashes on launch. It seemed sound related becuase when I disabled sound it could progress further but it wasn't ideal.

Please dont talk about it public,it will delay big update

After this long what's another 3 months?

Quote from Viperakecske :

You lock tyre temp irl too?

LFS has some issues with tyre temp modelling. You can see it with the Stock Car where tyres get uselessly hot in a very short amount of time.

Quote from henricat2006 :

It's a little difficult to drive, but it's true, I did it based on what I have, the front slips a lot and when it has grip it tends to roll over, for this mod I just changed the engine for a more powerful one, mine only has 6,5hp



I've flipped a few times, his center of gravity is not very favorable.

Yeah I found the rear suspension to be pretty neat. Watching the AIs rip it around some tracks was funny.

I should try the AI at one of the Kart tracks at Westhill. Seems like a good match.

This is really cool

Quote from Degats :

Several, LFS has had support for a very long time and as I understand it, some major studios have even borrowed LFS OutSim protocol.

Similar with Codemasters as well. Their UDP Protocol at one point was pretty much OutGauge although it's matured well beyond that.

Quote from superlame :

I can't stop looking at these. A b s o l u t e l y B e a u t i f u l

That one makes me wish we got a daytime aerial view of South City as well for a more direct comparison

Quote from Flotch :

Now the question is : where is @Degats for the comparison screenshots of South City ?

Probably still trying to download them all. Those pages are slower than I've sen from other update threads.

I was thinking allow mods to do the same thing that old cheats used to allow which was negative handbrake value for "boost".

Quote from xiazaiall :

It looks like a very nice one, but it has a limit of 14 day trial.

no

Your textures are too high resolution. You're only allowed to use a total texture "size" of 5,000,000 pixels and you're currently using 15,000,000 pixels.

You need to either use lower resolution textures or reuse textures by tiling them when appropriate.

The API version it's using might be deprecated by Discord?

Somewhat related to the title is that Oculus is due to deprecate their Oculus API in favour of OpenXR starting at the end of August.

OpenXR was recently added to iRacing and has brought some interesting improvements. One of which is WMR headsets (HP Reverb G2) no longer need to use SteamVR which improves performance.

Additionally Valve does provide an OpenXR runtime for SteamVR devices and other devices like PiMax have community built (but dev supported via hardware) OpenXR runtimes under development.

It's definitely "the future" for VR headsets and will let developers target a single VR API rather than needing to support multiple APIs.

A i7-4770 is somewhat old but not completely useless. Would be quad core and hyperthreaded. I had one with a 1660Ti and it was ok in VR but not ideal. A 1060 will definitely be on the lower capabilities of VR. I'm pretty sure I was usually at like 45FPS on my CV1 at certain points (it was a long time ago that I seriously ran LFS in VR outside of random hotlaps).

Quote from manolis-tr :

Is there any specific reason why the steering wheel looks a bit strange?? The F1 2022 cars have much bigger Steering wheels in terms of height. Btw, Epic mod!!I really enjoyed it :-))

In real life each team has different wheel designs. Heck the Williams doesn't even have a screen on the wheel.

Quote from RacingSOUL :

Can someone tell me please why does ASW on Oculus kicks in when my GPU load is never above 50%? (cpu is 20%)
With ASW active I get 45fps instead of 90fps even though my PC is clearly capable of more.

ASW only kicks in if your PC can't hit 90FPS so clearly your PC can't hit 90FPS.

LFS is also only single threaded so yes your CPU might only be 20% but that might still be 100% of a single core.

Quote from RacingSOUL :

What is the stuttering you all are talking about? The side scenery moving in micro steps like there are missed frames?

Yeah exccept it's not missed frames, it's just LFS physics being out of sync with the HMD refresh rate.

Quote from rane_nbg :

My first PC had a 133MHz CPU and I was super happy with it

kids nowadays are way too spoiled, what is next? try to run LFS on the wristwatch?

I mean an Apple Watch has the power to do it. Software compatibility is the impossible part.
