Can anyone tell me why FOV adjustment doesn't work on my triple screen setup ? I see shadows and shading changing as I adjust the slider, but the view stays the same. Searching Google brings up nothing. Only links on how to calculate FOV. edit: LoL Oops, this was for Assetto Corsa jonathan fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Feb 10, 2016 |

Norns posted:Are you using for the on track fov adjustment? When the car is in the pits I move my mouse to the right, there is a vertical task bar thing with a bunch of widgets I can put on the screen (Sorry I might not be using the correct terminology). One is an FOV adjuster, when I increase or decrease the value, it moves around some shading on the track, but the view stays the same. As a crutch I've been moving the seat position way back so I can kind of see a bit, but it's zoomed in way too far for my liking. I understand correct fov, but I'd also like to at least see the tach/gauge cluster a bit.

GhostDog posted:Isn't there a separate rendering mode and FOV app for triple screen? I think I read something like that when I looked into triples for a second. Maybe you're using the wrong one? I have no clue. Do you mean specifically to Assetto Corsa ? With iracing the fov adjustment works. Edit: You do have to enable "surround" via the nvidia control panel, if thats what you're thinking of.

Can we get a discussion going on DIY driving cockpits ? I'm going to start building one out of lumber. -Is insidesimracing's forums the best place to get ideas for designs ? -How important is side bolstering for seats ? Since there aren't actual g-forces I suppose it's not too important but I'm not sure what sort of seat to go for. Since I don't have much in the way of junkyards where I live, I'm thinking of maybe shipping in an actual race seat. I had RCI nhra spec seats in one of my racecars and they seemed decently comfortable. -Triple monitor stand, How close is too close to your face ? I'm thinking having the center screen almost touching the steering wheel would be best to get the widest calculated FOV. On a side note, I currently push around 85fps average on the AC benchmark with triple monitors with a GTX 960 card @ medium settings and 1080p resolution. The monitors are only 60hz capable. Would stepping up to a better card and 144hz monitors offer a better experience ? I am thinking of upgrading to a VR ready machine, but may stick with triple monitors because I get motion sickness easily.

Super trucks is really hard. While I'm sure they're a handful, I doubt they're THAT tough to drive on pavement.

True, and the guys racing them are some of the top driving talent in the world. I mostly have an issue with the power oversteer, The trucks have somewhat of a longer wheelbase than an average racecar, However usually when I lose the back end I cant recover it. What techniques are you all using to keep that rear end end behind you ?

I've competed in endurance kart racing in a 3 man team, and posted quickest lap of the month at the local indoor polished concrete track. You don't need to be strong, but holy hell does some conditioning go a long way. Lat pulldowns or chin-ups and abdominal crunches as well as a tricep workout will probably help your lap times towards the end of the race more than practice or car setup. Also some "core" style twisty motion workouts. I hate the term core workouts but I was in very good shape doing delivery work 10 hours a day plus downhill mtn bike several times a week and after those endurance races I could feel every muscle in my sides that weren't used in my other activities. Hell I bet you racketball would get you prepped mentally and physically for racing.

So I got my vr helmet shipped in. I asked in the main VR thread but didn't get a response. Can someone tell me what to aim for in benchmark frames per second in 2d so I can get my 90fps in VR ? Or should I just benchmark in VR with the helmet off ? I won't be able to benchmark while watching as I'll probably puke. For example, I average around 255fps in Assetto Corsa at 1080p. And max frames around 350. Will that translate well to VR ?

Yeah it's double pixels for frame buffer (and this headset is 1440p) plus double geometry and post processing. I'll have to experiment. I'm running an over locked gtx1070 and a i5 7600k @ 4.8ghz.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I with Tourist trophy on the PS2 wasn’t the pinnacle of motorcycle sims. I mean, I’m happy we have it and all, but no other motorcycle sim has nailed the controls and feeling of riding quite like TT in my mind. There was a motorcycle racing game at the arcades back in the day that worked well. Same game engine as super monaco grand Prix. You sat on a bike and leaned it to turn, and the handle bars counter steered to lean the bike. I was probably 6 or 7 when I played at Chuck e cheese. Anyways, one could build a setup using a tilt controller to control it.

Ergonomics wise. Do you chaps like the formulas style sitting position, the normal passenger car position, or the touring/rally/nascar car position which is upright with the steering wheel right up close ? The formula style would allow for better twitchyness, passenger car style whatever. Touring/nascar style is going to allow for more strength for sawing the wheel. Probably less fatigue on longer races. About to build a cockpit now that my VR is up and running. Trying to decide which to do.

Thanks for the seating suggestions. I think I will go the gt/nascar route with the wheel on the closer side. I'll be using a factory seat from my wildcat 1000x which is pretty comfy while still somewhat sporty. I also might go with our company logo and colours for the colour scheme. We own an indycar team in real life so I'll be able to get some stickers and such to make it look neat. Edit: lol "we" being my boss owns an indy team. I don't own poo poo. jonathan fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Dec 8, 2017 |

njsykora posted:Schmidt Peterson is just an Indycar team, so any game with a modern Indycar (rFactor 2, iRacing, PCars 2 officially, AC and AMS through mods) someone will probably have made that livery as a mod. Yeah Rick Peterson is my boss, so I was hoping to see an in-game car with the oculus colours. The new cars mostly have other liveries with a small oculus logo. But the original livery was specifically oculus in orange and black. Some searches show it in iracing.

Would an Intel i3 NUC with 4gb ram be up to the task of running as a assetto corsa server ? I can do 15mbit/sec uploads and it's wired into a gigabit network locally. It would be a private SA server.

I did the same thing last weekend. https://imgur.com/a/CvnMF seat mount is temporary. I just kinda tossed it together without any plans or measuring. I ran out of long screws so I stopped. I'll use a router to round off all the corners and then I might use either box liner or plastidip to finish it. And possibly do a stitched leather wrap on the "dash". The space in the front matches my core v21 case footprint. The walls are not dirty those are dirt under the lens of the camera phone. Click the imgur link for the build steps

Yup. Actually the bars should allow you to counter steer. That would actually be kind of realistic. Put pressure on the handlebar in the opposite direction should make it lean over, and it would be spring so that it wants to return to straight up like a real Moto. Also just to clarify. MotoGP is an entire leap above the top tier of Isle TT. Kind of like going from touring cars to formula 1, except a smaller performance gap.

My Lenovo WMR headset has been as low as $139 on sale through Microsoft store and matches the Vive pro's resolution. The lenses aren't the greatest but the comfort and tracking is just fine. I still can't see why one would go with a Vive pro over WMR at the price.

I'm not sure what the current price is on the Lenovo but I think it hovers around $200usd and comes with the hand controller things. But the fact that you just plug in a single usb and hdmi and play is a huge step in the right direction Vs setting up the lighthouse stuff.

Yeah the prices are all over. Windows Mixed Reality is the platform with different manufacturers following the spec. Lenovo is the cheapest and then Samsung was the most expensive. Samsung was $400 recently with 1600p resolution (I think).

So this thing I assume just does tilt and rotating... If you move side to side I would assume it doesn't do that ? My WMR setup, when I first got it before some patches would lose the 6 axis tracking and fall back to just rotation/tilt. And for racing sims, that's 90% of what you need and I could totally live with that for $50. Thanks for the trip report. God bless godless China.

It feels very similar to 3d movies as soon as I move my head when only tilt/rotate is being tracked.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:It’s way more immersive than a 3D movie in my mind. It’s not just a projection of the game on a virtual wall, it’s entirely surrounding you from every angle. Oh yes, I agree. 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.

GutBomb posted:I think he’s getting hung up on 3D movie (like stereoscopic, which are also viewable in their somewhat intended function in VR) but you mean 360 movie. 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.

Just put a few touristfarhten laps at the ring with my vr/sim rig. The server had no autoclutch rule. Which sucked because my DFGT wheel doesn't have a clutch, and neutral dropping the 787B makes it easy to stall. Can anyone tell me which settings allow me to do supersample AA or whatever it's called ? Even with my Lenovo headset I get a lot of shimmering and aliasing. Not sure if I should be using the supersample slider within AssettoCorsa or if there is another setting somewhere. The slider in AC doesn't seem to do anything.

Haven't had a chance to try it yet, with a 1080ti and a 7600k cpu, both overclocked, what's a good value to start with ? Some YouTube video said you won't notice a difference over 2x and probably won't notice anything over 1.6x
