I am now handing down my old rig to a friend and it feels good to spread the hobby while also looking back at how much better my setup is now than it used to be. I probably race less now than I did over the last 5 years with that lovely setup though

I have a g920 clamped to a desk using a Herman Miller Aeron chair with bell glides instead of wheels so it doesn’t move around. I was thinking about those motion rigs and I see people using them in VR and wonder if the sensors are mounted to the rig itself, since if not, the view would be moving around wildly.

It doesn't look like people have them mounted on the rig. See this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GToQwI_C8Gw&t=310s Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blI5-6KN9hs&t=1006s The view does seem to be moving a lot, but maybe it feels natural when you're in the rig.

Do not mount them on the rig, at least if it is not one of those things that spin (RaceCube or whatever). Most motion rig drivers have adequate VR adaption, which means they hook into the VR system and negate the motion that is currently applied to you (as it should be). Mounting them to the rig would have to be super-sturdy, vibration-free and whatever (see: slightly poke a HTC Vive lighthouse...). I had the chance to test it with a 4-dof rig, and am enjoying it constantly with a 2-dof rig, and it works perfectly, even if it sounds a bit akward and vomit-inducing (software hooking into the VR position detection).

My Fakecar rig was two planks of wood Spax-screwed onto a "gaming chair" with my grandma's plastic bedside table from the nursing home holding the monitor in front of a cheap metal wheel stand with PVC leg extenders. It's...not fancy. And is currently in pieces in the garage while I prepare to move

I have a G27 and Obutto Revolution. It's serviceable as a desk with the tray addon, but once I have more space I'm gonna set it up beside an actual desk, as it's not particularly comfortable for general PC use.

Playseat and a g25. Saving up for an alu-profile rig because the pedal plate on my playseat is non-adjustable and the steep angle of the pedals has given me an RSI in my shins.

DFGT clamped to a desk. Granted, I built the desk from scratch specifically to accommodate the wheel at an acceptable height and the pedals at an acceptable depth (I'm tall, so other desks didn't work well for me). So the ergo's are somewhat comfortable. And it still looks nice (solid poplar with cherry walnut stain and a nice acrylic clear coat) when I have to take the wheel off and do real work like a responsible human adult (or when I want to play something that doesn't require a wheel) I'd like to build a rig, but I don't have much room to work with unless I lose the computer desk.

That Dakar Rally 18 game is finally up on Steam, got to the second stage and immediately found myself lost and beyond help. Game is super rad and exciting and I can't wait to play more of it. Navigating a massive open landscape is way more fun than limited, walled off tracks, and I'm excited to try and survive it.

Dakar 18 is out today. I was really looking forward to this game and thankfully it's not the huge turd that it looked like from early videos. Here's my first impressions:
Overall, I'd say that Dakar is somewhere in between arcade and sim-cade. If you're one of the sycophants like me who liked FUEL you'll probably like it a lot, if you're looking for offroad DiRT you'll probably be disappointed.

That's what most F1 teams (IIRC Red Bull (or Audi/Porsche in WEC???) started it) do with their sims. The car runs (not on track, that is forbidden by FIA rules) on a rolling track in the wind tunnel, the readings of sensors in regard to downforce are translated to the sim, the input of the sim are translated back into both wind tunnel speed and for example car steering and thus a feedback loop is created. Red Bull had some major problems with it couple of years in where the data from the simulation didn't correlate with the real world, and I have no idea if the teams currently are able to (somehow) simulate the turbulence from corners inside the wind tunnel, but overall, most F1 simulators are hooked to either an actual or something like 1:4 car inside a wind tunnel while the drivers are sitting inside the simrig.

I'm waiting for some sim company to partner with one of those roborace teams. Think about it. You could have the game AI drive the roborace car, testing its strategy. It would also record what happens IRL to react to how it goes. Then you take it to a computer and re-play the laps in the simulation using the EXACT SAME inputs, and you measure anywhere that real life and sim don't sync perfectly, and then adjust the sim model accordingly. Until you get to the point where you could record a ghost in the sim, and then "play back" that ghost IRL using the roborace car. I don't know why someone isn't doing this ready. It makes too much sense. You could blow all other sims out of the water and make the argument that yours is the only "real" sim.

What they need to do is perfect the simulation and tie it to what is essentially a 1:1 scale RC car out on the track. The racers are kept out of harms way, races can get way dirtier, AND they can esports the poo poo out of it by letting you run as a ghost alongside the real race. If you do good enough maybe you get a spot in the pros. Oh wait, take the real cars away and I just invented F1 2017

Cojawfee posted:Do you know any sim developers that can afford a robo race car? The cars and teams already exist, they just need to partner with somebody. Alternatively, if roborace teams are so rich compared to sim companies, then one of them should make their own sim to make money and recoup costs. Or they could license their physics model out to all the existing sim companies. You didn't even try to think it through.
