My statement was that with a tilt/rotate only tracking, if you get up or move side to side , the effect it has is similar to a 3d movie when you do the same thing.

No I meant 3d movie, like in a theater. If you get up or move your head, the image follows your head, just like the limited tracking on those simpler headsets (and WMR when tracking breaks) But whatever it's hard to explain without a live demo.

No, he's talking about how moving without tracking creates projection issues. Moving around a theater while a 3d movie is playing looks weird because your perspective relative to objects in 3D doesn't change, they're statically projected based on distance/angle to the camera. Its not really that, though. Its more of an inner-ear thing that just makes you feel ill. You slowly get cold and clammy and feel nauseous.

I used to get it with my Vive, but I’m used to it now. The things that always got me were strafing movements and driving/cockpit games. It’s definitely just the “my eyes don’t match what my body says it’s doing”. I feel not having that tracking is too big a handicap for extended use. But still, that price.

Finally got my first actual wheel (G29) all plugged in and set up after only simming on a gamepad for months and uhhh first impressions are that I'm insanely slow and I feel like I'm learning how to drive again. It seems like every other time I hit a bump I'm in the wall and it's bizarre having to put in actual physical effort to keep my pretend car on the pretend road. Does anyone have any tips besides just keep racing until it feels natural?

Just keep at it is the right answer. Even going from one wheel model to another you will go slower let alone from a controller to a wheel It took me maybe a week to get back to my old times when I went from a Logitech DFGT to the T300RS

Does anyone have any tips besides just keep racing until it feels natural? Do some practice laps. Lap slowwwwwww and try to nail the racing line, and gradually speed up each lap as you learn the limits of the car. You'll also need to recalibrate your feet to avoid locking up the brakes or spinning out while accelerating. Unless you turn on TC and ABS since it's a pretend car and you can't feel anything.

Has anyone ever tried installing the Motion Platform Manager from Next Level Racing without a motion platform attached? Because that fully supports multi-channel tactile feedback via transducers (you can even select wether you want rev limiter transduced via the motion platform or the bass shakers, for example). I guess it refuses to work if no motion platform is attached, but it might be worth a try?

Wreckfest is one of the best racing games in a years. What you cant tell from the video is how good it feels to drive these, although i dont have a wheel to comment on ffb. The ai is good too.

Pretty good deal, although note that Dirt 5 is already out (but no VR support, but if you cared you probably already own dirt rally) and F1 2018 is right around the corner.

Dirt Rally is better than Dirt 5 anyway. I've been really getting into Wreckfest after not touching it for a year or so. The latest QOL updates have made it much more fun to play, and multiplayer has been good, even though there is really only one server in Australia that ever has people on it.

It is, but 5 isn't as bad as most people make it out to be. Its pretty dang good too. I can only play those same stages in Rally so many times before I get sick of em.

Oh for sure, its not bad, and was very ambitious. It just never sucked me in the same way Rally did. It sucks that it did so poorly since it probably means they won't be doing another rally game for a while.

I just got a T300 and a mount setup this week and have been playing almost exclusively Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally while I get used to using a wheel for the first time, so I’m hardly an authority, but it feel like the maxim “slow is fast” is more true for Rally than anything else. I turned off the little display on the left of the screen that shows your position on track with two arrows that show your pace and the pace of the fastest driver. It was distracting me after two stages. It just made me push too hard and freak out if the AI arrow was closing in on mine. When I play it safe I do a lot better.

I can't process the co-driver commands (used to road course racing) for a bunch of turns in advance and died a lot of terrible deaths in Dirt Rally. It's an awesome game and I wish I had more patience to get better at it.

There's a setting to decide when the navigator will tell you the directions. There's so few tracks that it's probably just easier to just memorize them.

I mostly just listen for "intos," crests and 1- and 2-turns, and the rest tend to help me keep track of where I am relative to those. You can clearly see a "Left 6 100," but you might not see "Left 6 100 into right 2". When I hear "x over crest, jump maybe" then I'm looking for a hill, and a 'jump maybe' tells me I can probably take it flat out, but jumping it is going to depend on the run up and sometimes the car itself. If you get "x over crest into y" then you need to slow the run up to the hill to prep for a turn. I think there's a couple where it even tells you "braking crest," where you need to hit the brakes right before the apex of the hill. "Don't Cut" means exactly what it says -- there's probably something in the shoulder like a rock or log so don't cut too close to the inside of the corner. "Off camber" is warning you that the camber of the road is going to shift the weight of the car the wrong way, so try not to steer too hard into it, maybe lift a little to keep the car balanced. "Deceptive" is another one to pay attention to, because it usually means the track is really flat and you'll miss a corner because of how it's roped off or because there's a weird junction there you can't see until you're in the middle of it. Setup is also really important in Dirt Rally. The default settings are almost never very competitive or stable. Pay attention to the track layout and the terrain; if you have a lot of corners and hairpins, use a lower gear ratio so you have more torque to punch out of them. If there are only a couple of major turns, gear it up. You can also gear up slightly to help gain some traction on loose surfaces, just don't go too far. Front wheel drive cars tend to do a little better with rear brake bias, so you can sling them around a little better without relying on the handbrake as much. Also, take care of your car! A healthy car giving up a tenth here and there is still faster than a wounded one giving up whole seconds.
