Some graphs playing Crysis 3 for example...

And I only turn Vsync ON, at games that my GPU can go higher than 60fps, in these cases yes, the GPU will not get 100% all the time... but in games like Crysis 3, that it never get to 60fps even with medium/high graphics, I don't use Vsync, and the GPU usage you can see on the pic I posted above

Quote from Klouczech :

I hope its enough for good simracing with my GTX470

Intel Core i5-3570K


GELID Solutions Tranquillo rev. 2


ADATA 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Gaming Series 2.0


MSI Z77A-G43 GAMING

May I ask you what is your actual processor? (that you use with the GTX470)

I have a I7 2600k with GTX 560ti, and looking at the usage percentage of usage of the CPU and GPU on ANY GAME I wouldn't change my 2600k to even a 4th generation extreme...

I mean, the 2600k never got to 50% usage even on games launched on 2013, but the GPU is almost always at 100% percentage at any game...

I do believe that even if I put a GTX 780ti here, the 2600k will still not use 100% on games...

Quote from DavidTiger :

I actually started experimenting with this. I use FaceTrackNoIr with a PS3 Eye camera which is capable of 75fps at 640x480.. upto 186fps at a lower res but 75 is smooth enough for tracking...
I too thought about using my smartphone magnetic sensor to output the data and then simulate TrackIR using that data.. So far I got the data from the phone to my PC via wifi but been too busy to do any more yet.
It needs a good data filter to make the sensor data to be readable at a fast enough rate.. otherwise the data is all over the place.

There are already apps that do this, but would still need another app on the pc to redirect the data to FaceTrackNoIr or a similar TrackIR emulator.
See these for example:
https://play.google.com/store/ ... rg.zwiener.wimu&hl=en

Wireless IMU will use a raw UDP Stream, like below

Example UDP packet:
890.71558, 3, 0.076, 9.809, 0.565, 4, -0.559, 0.032, -0.134, 5, -21.660,-36.960,-28.140
Timestamp [sec], sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z

Using that would save a lot of time and less programs to make.. Just make one that uses this data and sends it to FaceTrackNoIr and you'll have a wireless headtracking device for free

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the FaceTrackNoIr get your movement from recognizing your face on the cam, not from some kind of accelerometer, gyroscope, etc...

So in this case woudn't be needed an Oculus Rift emulator, instead of a TrackIr emulator?

Quote from just2fast :

Some thoughts regarding 1280x800 vs. 1680x1050.
While the native resolution feels fine, with 1680x1050 there is noticeable eye strain!
That means even if the radio of both resolutions is the same (1,6), it displays different on the Rift.

I did a test.
I chose 1280x800 and sat in the BMW Sauber F1 looking with my head pointing directly on the steering wheel (BMW logo).
Then i rolled my eyes to the left and the right (head keeps still pointed forward). In this way i could see a some part of the mirrors.

Then i chose 1680x105 and did the same. However with this resolution i could see both mirrors completely!
I also had the feeling the picture is slightly squeezed horizontal.
Conclusion: be very careful choosing an other resolution then the Rifts native one!

If that really happens, it probally will show on screenshots, can you take one screen at 1280x800 then 1680x1050?

This was listed as a trackIR retail point for Brasil:
http://www.gsprodutos.com/

still too much money for me... and I want to buy oculus rift consumer kit on the future, that's why I don't want to spend on a trackir now, a webcam 1080p@30fps app for android would certanly fill my needs for now

Quote from cargame.nl :

Are you putting a phone on your head?

TrackIR4 pricing start at $99, don't go cheap.

They don't send to Brazil, and on ebay you only find Trackir 5, which is $183 (with shipping) + 100% taxes (hate this country) so it would be $366, or R$852,72

I don't want to control the car, I want to control the read movements, like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TJBLIT90uk

Wouldn't the image be better if you keep native (1280x800) but loads of AA? (like 16xS from nVidia inspector or some other combination of AA)


also, for those who have the dev kit, could you guys post pics and videos of how it looks and feel on LFS?

I used to have a nokia N8, and sometimes I used it as a motion detector using the camera as webcam + FaceTrackNoIr

It obviously wasn't as good as trackir, but with 1280x720@30fps I could have lots of fun, maybe not be competitive, but for fun it was good...


Now I have a android phone, and after 2 hours searching, I haven't found any app to use the camera as 720p@30fps webcam, to be honest I thought I would find a app for 1080p@30fps webcam in less then 10 minutes, but I was wrong...


So I was thinking by myself, the oculus rift don't use camera or infra red to detect motion, it uses accelerometers and possibily gyroscope (correct if i'm wrong)

And the phone also has accelerometers and gyroscope...


So I was thinking, is there any app for android that reads the sensors and send to the computer, so we can use it on games?

wow scawen. You talking about windows 7 is hilarious.

+1

on the options of Shift + U you can put up to 1s of smoothness, just look bottom left

I do believe he is aiming manually by clicking on screen and moving the mouse


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYeiA5hXMFQ In this video, I made this lots of times, putting a camera still with Shift U, and following the cars using the mouse

3 of these for my triple screen setup for my race rig.

Please do post a pic of them side by side, it must be awesome!

You guys complaining about camera positioning on LFS, did you know that you have sliders to put your view higher, lower, to the front, or even to the sides?

and I watched the dailymotion video, what a terrible game!

how do you keep ir from going backwards when you press the pedals?

I had only wheelless(did I create a new word?) chairs for the last 10 years, but I had to buy a new one, and coulnd't find any chair without wheels that were confortable and not 2 meters high, so I had to buy a chair with wheels...

but i bought it more than 15 days ago, and I didn't play any racing simulator since, because it goes backwards when I try to brake

Quote from CoolColJ :

Well I'm well on my way to finishing GTA 5, I got bored with GTA 4 and only made it too 25% or so I think and then never touched it again after I had my fill of the street violence which is the same everytime with less interactivity than 5.

Better characters and story - the main thing in the game

I can park properly in GTA 5, even cruise slowly and stay in lanes. I always end up smashing my car in GTA 4 when I try the same

GTA 4 looks like junk, I feel GTA 5 is much better here. GTA 4 was all brown looking...

Obviously you are just comparing console - console shitty graphics, now compare GTA IV on PC with this GTA V crap

Quote from Wenom :

Just went back to GTA IV for 5 minutes and damn... They kept the horrible character movement and ruined the handling of the cars...

Honestly (oh boy I'm going to say it) GTA V doesn't:
-Look/sound better than the GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption
-Have better animations than the LA Noire
-Have more interesting story than the GTA IV/Red Dead Redemption/LA Noire
-Handle cars better in garages than Saints Row
-Have proper online...
-etc...

I'm just wondering where all the millions of dollars went when they made this game... I admit I was having some fun while the GTA V story lasted, but then it just turned into something very boring that's all.

have to agree almost 100% with you, don't know how people are still so hyped about it...

For my girlfriend. She had a lumia 710 with wp7.8 and wasn't happy with it for a long time

Quote from AndRand :

I call it: BDSM

If I dont like it I dont do it.

it's not that I don't like, I like a lot, that's why I want to keep racing, but my vestibular system's don't like it

for me the cars are 10 times more rigid than GTA IV, indeed the wheels are locking more than on GTA IV, but the car is deforming MUCH less

obvious fake

Quote from AndRand :

I just read about 2 paraglider pilots: one is scared of height, second gets airsick
Allegedly, quite good pilots.

But I dont get it??? What for???

probally they dream was to became pilots, and they just said "f*** it" and went for it.


my dream is to became a racer, but I can't even finish a 30min kart race without vomiting, but still if I had money, I would race everyday to see if the motion sickness (nausea) gets to a level that I can finish the races
