I have also DFGT,had same rattling problem. After few tipps from here and testing,I ended up with these settings to be the best and also removing the rattling:

imho the way to go is to turn off all the stupid effects turn off all damping and filtering and then if youre not happy add a slight bit of damping to get rid of any straight line shaking

Quote from Keling :

What exactly do those "kerb/road/slip" effects mean? RF style predetermined fake effect or some kind of filtering on a physics-based system?

utterly fake nonsense judging by how it feels

Quote from Forbin :

I feel it's still a bit early to purchase a 3840x2160 monitor. AFAIK, lots of apps are just starting to catch up on the variable DPI necessary for readable text at that resolution without looking fuzzy.

any program thats built from normal non bitmap graphics shoudl be fineish
the real issue is that 4k monitors are a massive hack atm being made up of 2 seperate mointors side by side as far as your graphics card is concerned

also 180 dpi really isnt enough yet

Quote from tristancliffe :

My feeble system (bought in 2007/8, when it wasn't quite so feeble) is a Shuttle SX58H7, i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz, 6GB DDR3 @ 533Mhz RAM, 1GB ATi Radeon HD4870. I know that's not exactly top of the range anymore!

replace the graphics card
somehting cheapish like an r9 270 or a gtx660 should easily double to triple your framerates
anythign else is absolutely fine for gaming

anyway
personally the one id get if i were to buy a new monitor at this point would be the dell U2312HM (well actually it would be the dell UP2414Q but that ones out of the question)

since my dad is also a bit cheap i got him an AOC i2369Vm a couple of months ago (only cheap 23" model that i could find any actual test data for)
he seems to be happy with it however the stand is a bit flimsy on all of these cheaper models so that might be something to consider for someone whos known to throw monitors onto his shifters

also pro tip... if you connect the aoc (or any other hdmi only monitor to it) and have a (i believe amd were the problem) card in your pc it dont be alarmed by the bad picture for some idiotic reason the driver automatically enables a large amount of overscan for anything hdmi

Quote from felplacerad :

I'd definitely recommend a 120+ hz monitor.

with the exception of one fairly expensive eizo those are all tn panels (ie junk)

Hahaha!

Take another look at my post, you'll see an image. That image connects to a script on my server which reads your IP address and checks against a database to see what country it was issued to.

in that case you ****ed up
all i see is a small line down next to the comma

AAARGGGHHHH!!!

It's "I couldn't care less", meaning "It is impossible for me to care a smaller amount than I currently do".

"I could care less" means you do care.

given that the scirocco is ancient history at this point its "i could of cared less"

Quote from sinbad :

Yes, and imho in the case of ABS simply "switching it off" (as if the car has such a switch) isn't as realistic as keeping it on a lot of the time.

the switch is called a fuse and on pretty much every car you can disable the abs by pulling it

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Ok so my first thoughts. Forcefeedback is pretty amazing but lacks the transitional feel when understeer starts to happen (ie lightening the wheel).

turn off all 3 ffb effects in the conroller settings and it should give you a lot more indication what your wheels are doing

just use obs qith quicksync if your cpu supports it or shadowplay if your gpu supports it
recodring with no reencoding neccessary and (pretty much) 0 fps drop from it

Quote from JazzOn :

in the advanced controller options, and they're set to 30 or something on default (i think)

But nevermind, i've just tried it and it seems to just add vibration.

i think thats just the silly vibration when you lock up under braking
but yeah it does help quite a bit to make the wheel feel much much better and more like lfs if you turn all of those stupid effects off

doesnt remove the weird physics though which seem to get worse the slower you go

Quote from JazzOn :

You don't have the silly slide effect and the likes on, and what wheel do you use?

slide effect?

am i the only one whos having issues with the cars refusing to step back in line after a slide? it feels somwhat like the physics switch to a slide mode and the back will just keep swining back and forth until youve slowed down a lot sometimes
maybe its just my wheel setup but a friend tried the sim today and he was complaining about the same thing within a couple of minutes

also whats the timing and tyre app you guys are using?

from the mages posted above eg this one
http://www.mikesteven.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rift/hud01.jpg
i think the hud elements at the side should be rotated towards you in such a way that the hud element is projected onto a 2d plane segment tangential to a sphere round your head position

maybe the best final solution would be to do something similar to what assetto corsa does with its hud elements that can be dragged and dropped by mouse with some additional buttons for each hud element that allow you to rotate them in 3d and drag it along the distance

Quote from tristancliffe :

Maybe if the menu was projected onto the windscreen like a real HUD would be, with the correction for angle that HUDS have, so it looks like a flat square image but is actually wider at the bottom to cope with perspective.

The same 'plane' could also be used for single seaters - where the windscreen would be is where the menu plane is (with less perspective correction as most are vertical 'deflectors' rather than windscreens.

Just thinking out loud in the hope that my nonsense might kick start a train of thought that DOES actually work. I don't have a Rift, but I want one

a proper hud to my knowledge is actually projected to distance "infinity" so your eyes dont have to change focus between the real world and the hud
infinity being >9m ie the distance where your eyes lens is focused at infinity and where the distance between your eyes becomes too small to create a 3d image (beyond 6-9m your brain creats the 3d image from effects other than eye distance to my knowledge)

im not sure how to recreate the effect of parallel images coming from a plane near your head with 3d rendering though especially in a car where the background image might not necesarily be always more than 9m away from you

Quote from DickDastardly :

Unfortunately my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel doesn't have adjustable rotation, but hopefully it would be a fairly easy change for Scawen to add an option to match the visual rotation in-game to the player's wheel (without any change to handling etc).
Cheers,
DD

the problem there is with a wheel that has less rotation available than the in game wheel you need the compensation inside the game which is basically some sort of exponential (or some other curve) mapping between your inputs and the in game outputs
the reason why youd want to see the "real" in game wheel angle is because with that mapping fucntion its not immediately obvious how much youre actually turning the wheel without that visual feedback of how much the in game wheel has turned

Quote from The Very End :

Whats the big deal with the Nordschleife anyway? The most overrated track in video game history. I think it's too long to give fun races. For hotlapping, sure, but for racing... meh there are so many more fun tracks to chose from.

IMO!

+1

Quote from The Moose :

I bet all the hipsters that think its cool to call it overrated and rubbish to race at will whip out their credit cards to buy it the moment its released.

and youve gone full retard

Quote from Kristi :

The thing is, I don't see much changes in the state of the game as of now, compared to 10 years ago.

then again how is that any different from lfs?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Maybe TORCS success (or lack thereof as the case may be) would be an excellent example on why open source LFS is a bad idea.

then again the underlying issue may be advertising and newness
i never even heard of the project until just now

Nope.

I hope they go for raw input. Linear response and completely independent sensitivity are both needed in LFS or AC.

what do you mean? lfs already has completely linear response if you set the steering linearity setting accordingly

i hope they just flat out copy the way mouse works in lfs
