I sold my DK2.

When you first try it, it is the greatest thing in the world. For about 10 minutes...

Any longer than that and the eye strain becomes too much.

You're basically looking at a phone right in front of your face, through two lenses.

FYI I had to get glasses shortly after getting my rift as well...

Awesome update. Enjoying the MRT5 around the kart circuits!.

@Scawen have you secretly been working on the AI? they seem to be less A and more I than I remember. I was driving Turbo on Westhill National, and the AI were adding to the experience rather than ruining it !

I had to throw a 50% intake restriction on the MRT...could not get it around the corners otherwise

Wow go kart track!

I just sold my Rift...its far from ready.

going back to 3x24" screens.

Thank you LFS Developers!

Question - does the dk2 support include head tracking?

Quote from Kyotee :

Just wait for the update, which brings it back.
But, if you must know, go into your enbseries.ini, scroll down to [COLORCORRECTION], and change these two values

Before:
ColorSaturationDay=-3
ColorSaturationNight=-3
After:
ColorSaturationDay=-2
ColorSaturationNight=-2

Don't set it to -1, or 0. It just looks bad.

Thanks dude, I will give it a go.

Quote from Kyotee :

Too much contrast darkens the dash horribly, you can't see what you're doing while racing. As mentioned, this is a setup intented both for racing and for cinematography. And the drained saturation is just artistic, here's what it looks like without it. (You can really see the colour grading when you bring the saturation back up.)

What settings did you use to add the saturation back?

I see that it uses a proxy file in the ebnseries config.

I am already using a proxy with EBN for SoftTH.

Is it possible to use two proxies? If not will this work without using your proxy file?

I'm gonna throw up Alonzo for the win, based on his relatively good qualifying recently and Ferrari's awesome starts.

Quote from Intrepid :

I think some of the hysteria (not so much here, but in other places) surrounds the fact many were saying Vettel was some sort of god, and shock horror, give him an ordinary car and suddenly he's just like everyone else. Its not so much against Vettel as it is against the people that said Vettel was godlike... and I mean in the media.

it's very hard to gauge F1 nowadays anyway. Full of publicity stunts and pay drivers. Who knows who's good, who isn't. At 200k a year for KF3 and then up to 2m to GP2 it's a money game from start to finish

Alonzo is pretty damn good! Getting that shopping cart in the points every week while his team mate fights with force india's and caterhams...

I think if Hamilton was not upset it would be a bigger problem.

I'm going to be at a wedding

How inconsiderate of people to get married on the same day as the start of the F1 season!!!

Quali:

1. Vettel
2. Webber
3. Lewis

Race:

1. Vettel
2. Jensen
3. Alonzo

Nice one dude!

What happened to Bruno in the first few laps? I didn't see any incident but after after the first pit stop he was like 20th or something?

Nice work

I am consistently getting 1:13's with it now so the problem was me!

I really like this set too though. Most others oversteer for me but this is perfect.

I thought Schumi was defending well. That's what I watch F1 for to see fights like that so I am glad that there were no penalties or arguments.

And Hamilton wasn't complaining about it:

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1- ... -restart-admits-hamilton/

Vettel has said in the past that sometimes the team will let him go for the fastest lap so that he can get 1. pole, 2. win, 3. fastest lap, all in a weekend. That also implies that they don't let him do it all the time though.

So just because he doesn't get it doesn't mean he isn't the fastest on a weekend.

I'd like to believe that mclaren can challenge for the win but just because they are setting times quicker than the cars in front, doesn't mean they are quicker.

That said, Spa doesn't seem to need as much downforce either. Remember when Fisichella put the force india on the front row 2 years ago?

I remember reading somewhere that at the start of 2010 Richard Branson told the Virgin team they had 3 years to become competitive or he would can it.

I imagine 'competitive' means more than beating HRT, and they're certainly not going to beat Lotus!

A lot of good drives today. Pretty surprised to see Sutil in 6th as well!

Looks like Red Bull is having trouble with the tyres in cold conditions. I wonder if we'll see them struggling in Hungary and Spa, and maybe Korea and Japan as well.

Oh and how is Alonzo getting a lift off Webber at the end! Crazy bastards!!!

Redbull don't want Hamilton. Obviously he would be fighting for the championship and they don't want two equal drivers fighting as long as they have Seb.

I take my hat off to McLaren for letting their two world champion's race because Ferrari and Red Bull certainly wouldn't.

Oh I see, removed this year:

Well that is just crap.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Indeed. Makes me want to punch Horner in the face.

It should be a fine really, same as they did to Ferrari.

Ferrari: "Alonzo is faster, do you understand?"

Red Bull: "Maintain the gap, maintain the gap"

Clearly Webber was having none of it though. Maybe he has actually spared them from get penalised by trying to pass anyway.

This is brilliant!

I hope thats all it is, and its not like if he does badly then he's lost his chance.
