Honestly... The Quest 2 is a decent step up, although the Facebook requirement is less than desirable. The resolution more or less removes the "screen door" effect. The FOV is still lower than ideal, but it also means that you don't need a monster PC to handle it. The slight reduction in FPS (82 by default, but supports up to 120) helps negate the increase in resolution.

I race exclusively in VR, and have for the last 3 years (mostly iRacing), and I started with a CV1 and moved to a Quest 2 about 4 months ago. Nice part about Quest 2 is that the requirements are still fairly reasonable, with my 1660Ti handling AC, LFS and iRacing with ease. Upgrading my CPU from a Intel 4770k to Ryzen 5600x was the difference in iRacing between "usually 90fps with some dips" to "always 90fps"

With some of the higher tier headsets (Valve Index, Reverb G2, PiMax), you're basically required to have a 30 series nVidia GPU which are hard to come by (I'm checking my local retailer daily). These headsets have better graphical fidelity and have the benefit of being unencumbered by Facebook.

Personally I find VR to be the main reason why I got back into sim racing as everything feels natural. A single monitor is too constraining, especially at some tracks like COTA where having the freedom to look towards the apex is vital.

As for VR implementation, I agree that LFS is the best as things like mirrors feel the most natural. iRacing does a pretty good job, but constrains the player to a fairly tight .5 metre cube and will instead shift the viewport entirely rather than allow you to escape that cube, which is fine while racing.

The iRacing mirrors leave a bit to be desired as I don't think they're properly rendered from both eyes, and instead share a single rendering, but for the most part that's fine and only is a real issue with cars where the mirror is close to your face (MX5). iRacing does support some good technology like SPS to improve frame rates on compatible GPUs (20 series GPUs which includes the 1660Ti).

Quote from farcar :

Scavier seem to go out of their way not to generate hype. It's become clear to me over the past decade or so that LFS must now be more a passion project than a financial one (which is fine!).

I'm sure the physics and graphics updates will come eventually but after years of waiting, I don't take any news or progress updates as an indicator that something is imminent.

The guys clearly work at their own pace, and not under duress of the community's demands or expectations.

To be clear, this is not a criticism! I've been following LFS for more than 16 years and also like this project a lot. I just don't have any expectations any more.

I mean I definitely understand Scawen not wanting to generate hype. They're still suffering from the Scirocco hype. Failing to temper expectations is what turned Cyberpunk 2077 into this whole "broken promises" experience from those who overhyped everything in their minds, despite what CDPR delivering meeting what they actually said they'd deliver.

Uninstall GHub and install the old Logitech Gaming Software.

GHub doesn't give any benefit for G29/G920 and below wheels, but it seems to create huge issues in many sims.

Weird to bump a 3 year old thread.

Don't you still need Discord username. The 4 digits is just to avoid collisions (so there's the ability for people to share the same "username")

Stop injecting your conspiracy theory nonsense into the forums.

You don't need to drop it underneath a random "funny" image.

You don't need to drop it ANYWHERE.

Stop spreading dangerous nonsense you fool.

Sims also tend to encourage driving styles that don't always work in real life as a consequence of not everything being simulated.

One thing i dont understand is why BF1 doesnt blip throttle aggressively like real F1 cars do.

It's a 15 year old F1 car at this point.

Cops and Robbers has been a thing in LFS for a very very long time. Back when there was no wrong way detection, playing it demo servers used to be a blast. It's really the whole predecessor to cruise servers.

If only it supported VR natively

Quote from joaopaulopt :

for racing events this would be important!
The last events were often divided into 2 and 3 servers.

Wouldn't multiple servers be better? Especially if they were divided by lap times or something? Give everyone closer/better racing.

Is there any chance of having a full map path released? Just to get an idea of the major roads and how they interlink?

I still remember Victor playing around with a 3d remote based on WebGL.

Best case for compatibility would be using Bootcamp to install Windows.

Else the support is hairy as recent OS X doesn't support 32 bit applications, so running LFS inside of normal WINE won't work.

There's a proprietary version of WINE called Crossover which has done the work to run 32 bit Windows applications inside modern version of OS X, but the application does cost money.

Another option could be to use the free version of VMWare Fusion to run a Windows VM. Windows ISOs are freely available and work for like 30 days without activation.

Louis Delatraz is a frequent participant in one of the iRacing series I've been focusing on the last 2 seasons.

Supposedly this is a bug introduced with the latest oculus update. Despite setting it to 90, it's only functioning at 72.

File an issue with oculus support.

Quote from SirDelton :

Also.. Why would I be seeing 2 wheels (DD2) in the controller list?

Seeing DD2 (Twice)
Heusinkveld Hand brake
Sim button box

I don't have a DD2, but it might be because of button/axis restrictions. Because some of the addon wheels support a lot of buttons, where some versions (all?) of DirectX only support 32 (64?), so it exposes 2 devices to split the buttons so it can have more than the maximum

Quote from 320d 163 :

This game will it come to Steam? This game 18 euro, 161 tl.

No.

So I have 4 separate USB devices (Wheel, Pedals, H-Shifter, Button Box) and have no issues with LFS.

Quote from BerdyGaming :

There's a truck load of complaining about the new update messing with oval lap times for a community that can't even get an oval racing league going regularly.

Oval Racing isn't much fun with only 2 ovals, both of which are very atypical compared to most ovals. One of which has been so unsuccessful IRL that it's not even a race track anymore.

Perhaps I didn't make the red circle large enough.

What is with all these people coming in here with GPUs that they found bundled inside a box of cereal wondering why they perform terribly.

AFAIK modded rims cause OOS if used in "public" servers.

In Canada at least, Canada Post sells PaySafeCard codes, so the availability is pretty broad as any post office sells them.
