DJI Goggles

I fly a DJI Mavic Pro and I’m considering the DJI Goggles.
From the blurb it would appear that these goggles will work on a PC whereby the screen is mirrored within the goggles.
Having searched here for DJI and returned nothing, I was wondering if these goggles are capable of providing an alternative way to enjoy the LFS VR experience?

Many thanks

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

I think the problem is that by default they set every car up with semi slicks, and the highest grip setting possible on the track so that newcomers don't find it too difficult. They've outright said that on the forums unfortunately.

Well push me over with a feather...
I didn't realise that at all.
I (stupidly) assumed that the cars would have had their relevant tyres as a default. I never even bothered to check out the settings - just hit start and away I went......

Quote from NitroNitrous :These are the only mods so far that have passed my own quality tests:

BMW M1 E26
Porsche 911 2.7RS
Caterham Academy
Ferrari 288GTO
Opel Calibra DTM
Vauxhall Cavalier BTCC
Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Mazda 787B
Nissan 180SX

They all work with the current AC version. I have tried many many more but their 3D model or physics (or both) were not good enough for my standards.

Credits to the modders.

Many thanks..

Is there anywhere on the internet where you can find car mods specifically for the latest version of A/C..? (1.4.x)
I've managed to get a Peugeot 504 and an old Porsche Spyder working, but only through luck.
It seems all the cars are bunched together (in the modded section of the A/C forum) and its not that clear which will work on the latest version.
Those that don't work appear as unknown in the cars section of the game.
I was specifically after a Mazda MX5 (Miata) and or Honda S2000.
Any help will be very appreciated...

There was me thinking there was something wrong with the RUF yellowbird... It turns out they're not supposed to go in a straight line!

These are all my clips, i currently ride a 2013 WC BMW R1200GS.
The thing with a gopro is to mix it up a bit. Try different locations around the bike to get some funky views.

Maybe its just me but does it not look like from the onboard video of mrfell that the wheels are moving as if they have suspension? Watch closely to the front wheel, it seems to move up & down, whilst the stub stays as it should.

Haven't tried this yet, too much uni work due for next week to risk getting hooked!!

You're absolutely right!!
If you use the actual replay and choose the free camera you'll see the wheel move and the rest stay the same. The steering arms are similar too. But hey its a pretty good drive.....

Quote from Zay :Hmm. where do I go to get my G25 to work with the game?
Thanks,

I think all i did was to hit calibrate and it found the wheel straight away then assigned the relevant controls to the wheel itself.

When you pay for full license you are able to access an online database. Its a stripped out version of lfs world. When you race on line your fastest lap is recorded. I've just done a 45.132 in the wet but it doesn't show me its a wet lap..... d'oh. Fun racing on line. (well practicing in my case, i jumped the start apparently and it booted me out!!)

Quote from piggy501 :Ha. I have two Tacx Fortius'.

Just a shame neither work.

Anyways, good luck with all your fannying around, I'm quite jealous of you actually. However I'll be away on a school cycling trip round the north of Scotland at the same time as you for two weeks so its not all bad.

Hmph, I would have liked the fortius, but kept being outbid on ebay. There was no way I could justify a brand new one.....

Little bump.
Just over two weeks till we try this challenge. Spent quite a bit of time on a VR Turbo trainer which mimics these climbs. I've got one of these:-http://www.tacxvr.com/en/products/i-magic & http://www.tacxvr.com/en/products/mont-ventoux-2008 Getting plenty of road miles in too. Just want to get on with it now.......

Quote from hrtburnout :Which one will you be doing?

The Cingles route is to climb the mountain 3 times.
We intend starting from Bedoin climbing up to the top then down to Malaucène, back up to the top and down to Sault, back up again and finally down to the start in Bedoin. Easy eh? It looks like 4443 m of climbing over 68 km.

So in answer to your question.......all that you mentioned. LOL
