U2's new album + iphone ......bliss !

we live in good times

p.s it's actually pretty good unlike like their previous two albums

you can further increase sharpness & quality by setting up a LFS profile in your nvidia/AMD gpu settings control panel

shoot for quality & sharpness

for high fps reduce graphic settings in LFS (I get over 300fps no vsync...but over 120fps should be fine for a fluid experience)

ok thanks, I'll stick with previous version until f9 then thanks

hi

with latest patch the reset position (at the beginning ) isn't working right

then I try with the button and not correct (it only moves to the right by about 5% of what it should)

went back to previous patch & worked fine again

anyone running with 0.4.2 yet?

does everything still work?

yes I'll give it a go without & report back.

I'm surprised your having such a result, I thought as long as everything in sync with your head movement you'll be fine

remember whilst in motion my head is moving around (vs track cam which is fixed on wall) but the visuals are in sync same as if no motion

the only thing I can think of is there any head wobble effect in LFS which should be off? thus the visuals are adding movement not corresponding to your real head

your system should eat LFS , I use no vsync no fps cap

hi

it's a custom setup ( professionally welded & powder coated )
-tried to post image but can't seem to do it on these forums

it gives all the movement I feel is needed (whilst being able to fit it into a house)

I feel no nausea at all , not tested without motion, I'm surprised you get nausea whilst sim racing, make sure your fps is high with no vsync - you need very low latency, turn down graphic details / no AA etc go for fps of above 150fps

re. dk2 with motion

I'm using a motion setup with the dk2 with extremely good results
the camera is in a fixed position on a wall

my platform pitches / rear traction loss
+seat motion on top of the platform

home setups such as mine do not make high movements! just enough to feel the onset of gforces + position indication

the dk2 movement actually adds to the motion effect
-chair moving slightly to the left to simulate ones body being moved to the side in relation to the wheel shows in the dk2 & gives good additional visual clues


something like the redbull simulator would obviously need a VR track cam mounted to the actual platform

I'm on the SRF's at the moment,
they need to be pushed pretty hard to make them satisfying

agreed -legends are a blast

best way to do it is wait for one of the Iracing offers

after trying it of course to make sure you like what the service has to offer

I got a good deal on two years ( £60 )

but you'll have to buy some content so go in with a bulk buy
(which you'll get on a discount ...3 items -10% ..5 items -20% etc)

it's very bright with it off

on it goes dimmer but it's very nice on the eyes, leave it that way you'll get use to it

I used nvidia 3d vision monitors previously they are dimmer due to shuttering glasses so I'm use to it

re.VR

leave hand movements etc for now
fluid virtual head movement (matching tracking) would be good
& look brill in replays


in the future I'm sure they'll be cheap/effective gloves
(hopefully the sort with the half fingers cut off) that will allow virtual hands to track actual hands ( update maybe when this becomes the norm etc)

never yet seen tearing so far but I'll give it a oh with a low fps cap to test

my PC geared up to run triple 3d (previous setup before using the rift)

i7 2600k @ 4.8ghz @ gtx Titan @ 1140mhz core

so far it's eating everything alive in the rift

as rift is single screen 2d (although each half of screen is different to deliver 3d)
a small about of resource needed for tracking I guess

p.s I get very fluid tracking too, it really is worth thinking about a CPU/gpu upgrade if the VR experience received is glitchy / lag, no using predictive either

I think vsync is needed if your PC dosnt do very high fps

-no vsync here as I have much better & more fluid experience with it off

( over 300fps )

can't remember who it was but someone was noticing black smearing a lot
mine is fine but it seems that connections may play some part
maybe his may help (from Iracing forum ) :



" I just made an interesting observation. I have 7970 video card. When I first hooked up the rift my monitor was in the HDMI port so I used a mini display adapter for the Rift. Everything seemed to work fine playing Elite Dangerous. I thought Id switch the connections to see if it would work better. I put the monitor on DVI and the Rift on HDMI. All of a sudden I have horrible black smearing and the performance seemed worse. "

also I use nvidia I don't know if it's AMD specific, could be both

"I just say to arcade racers, get into a proper driving view and stick with it a while. You will be slower at first but after some time you will get used to it and you will enjoy the sim as it was designed to be used.

But obviously that is the kind of statement that can make people react angrily! But I'm just giving my honest opinion"


it has to be said ......it has to be done

I know it's suppose not to make any difference once fps gets over 75fps
(the refresh rate of the device)

but I really do see & feel the difference at figures over 100fps

I run uncapped & no vsync with excellent results

if it's easy to do a higher figure on the frame cap would be very nice
(higher than 100fps, 250fps or 300fps as a max would be great so I can find the perfect figure under that)

at the moment the fps seems to stick at 333.3fps

thanks

that's in the car park right?

how do you do this?

great ! thanks a lot boosted

I'll give it a try tomorrow

regards

hiya thanks for that,

I did look and try again,

the black command box dosnt allow me to type anything in

I copied & paste some of the stuff from wiki on to the "cfg" note in the folder
(of the server downloaded folder)

and nothing seemed to have any effect,

if I just want to host a server with the MT5's (or is it mt6?)
City sprint 20min quali
race 4 laps


what exactly do I type in?
& where do I put it ?


sorry if I sound thick

hi all

I've hosted no problems on my main PC but as I was also racing on this the sim car felt a tad "floaty" so I think there was some loss in physics due to the CPU having to also handle the online server aspect ( ? )

anyhow, I downloaded the server software thing, to put on my 2nd PC,
but it's just a little black window, what commands to I put in to get it to host a session ??

I looked at all the commands etc in the read me but there were no simple examples I could copy & paste to start a test server

any help appreciated

thanks

using very low AA ( multisample only )

and keeping the mipmap sliders as low as possible

LFS is actually looking fairly sharp and a totally presentable visual res.

best I've seen on the dk2 yet


-I've tweeted every little thing in the nvidia control panel
(using a dedicated LFS profile in 3d settings)
high quality
clamp

etc, very very happy with the performance of the dk2 (as a non consumer version) & LFS is bringing out the best in it

looked at this a while ago,

motion capture/tracking gloves with the end fingers cut off,
for about £99 ( 150 US dollars ) would be about right & will come pretty quickly I'm sure

would be about right

I ve not seen any micro stutters

you just set everything to max ??

I use :

i7 @ 4.8ghz + gtx Titan @ 1140hz core all water cooled

& I turn down where I can

I do have a totally flawless faultless 1:1 tracking
no cap no vsync ( fps seems to stay at 333.3fps )

+ dosnt those mip map sliders being on max make it look to soft/slightly out of focus?
