Hi everyone. I just purchased a Samsung Odyssey Plus and realized that certain sim racing titles did not have a FPS counter display in VR (Project Cars 1 and 2), and I just happen to stumble across this really cool app on Steam that allows you to do this and it gives a lot of information regarding video and cpu performance. Get on Steam, do a search for "fpsvr". It is inexpensive (less than $5 Canadian), this allowed me to tweak the settings in the 3 titles I use in VR being Assetto Corsa, and the 2 Project Cars. Now I run at a steady 90fps on all 3 titles with 200% supersampling (automatically set by Steam VR). Great little app. Take care Regards: >>>> Jack <<<<

The newly bought VR with whole setup is having issue, need better VR now
WilliamsVR posted a topic in Getting Started In Sim Racing
it is not that hard to embed or link the different VR with racing simulator setup with oculusVR, can anyone help me in this? I bought racing simulator setup from a website (mentioned below). and the VR i got from that machine is not actually very perfect, I need more good quality VR which should have Nvedia graphics card with CPU of i5 or i7 if possible also should have around 8GB of RAM but I doubt all these are available on any of the VR, also I doubt can I link this VR with me machine? https://www.ollantapresidente.pe/product/vr-professional-car-racing-simulator-rig-full-motion-real-force-sale-cockpit/ -
I had a great race against the AI in RaceRoom with the fun Porsche GT4 car around Zandvoort using my Oculus Rift. Jason.

Hello guys, I wanted to share with you my race rig project. When I started designing it I wanted to make one that you can easily adjust to sit in almost any race and road car position. So I stated by gathering information about the dimensions and the angle of different positions. I took 10 cars as models for my project. (4 F1 Cars: F1 2015, F1 198o's, F1 1970's, F1 1960's; 1 WRC car; 1 La Ferrari, 1 GT2; 2 Normal road cars: BMW M4, FIAT 500; and an ALFA 155 TI V6). I think that these examples are more than enough to accommodate almost any position. The rig is designed to fit only direct drive technology, because the motor needs to sit back and transmit through a cardan shaft the rotation to the steering. The pedals are lifted to the right height by a scissor jack. Both the upper part (that holds the motor, wheel, shifter, and monitor), and the pedal jack are movable through linear bearings. The seat is composed of 4 parts that move to accommodate almost any race and road car seat. The problem with having a one or two parts seat, when tilting it to obtain the correct position is that the back of the seat needs to bend to hold your back in the correct shape. So as a consequence the 4 parts are designed to fit correctly your body. All the adjustments of the rig are made with linear bearings, clamps, and screw type jack (pedals, and seat bottom height), so it is thought out to never get out of the rig to adjust it to the new position. I want to thank the Grabcad community for some of the 3D objects I use in my model. (the steering wheels, and human model) as well as Assetto Corsa for creating such realistic and beautiful detailed car interiors. I hope you like it. PS: I only managed to render the model for 2 positions: (F1 2015, and WRC Car)

PC vs Console for the Electronically Challenged...??
p-rizzle posted a topic in Getting Started In Sim Racing
Hello everyone. My father in-law is a racing enthusiast who goes to a Porsche driving school in Alabama once a year. He has shown interest in setting up a simulator at his home, which means I will have to set up a simulator at his home. He is not very good with electronics in general and while all signs point to iRacing for the most realistic simulator / best online community, I worry he won't be able to handle the complex nature of the game. So my question is... Should I just say "screw it" and start ordering him everything he needs for iRacing, or would getting a PS4 with Assetto Corsa be the right choice for someone like him? It would give us the option of using PS4 VR which seems like a bonus. Anyway, I have searched the forums and just can't make up my mind. I was hoping a few kind souls could help "steer" me in the right direction. Thanks, in advance, for your responses. edit: He would prefer to have a game that contains the Barber Motorsports Park track which he drives every year. -P -
Hi all from another Aussie on the forums in Perth. I've been browsing a little while now, since I got a set of the Samsung Odyssey VR goggles. After a bit of research, I then ordered the Thrustmaster T300 GT RS set , which led me to wanting g to build a cockpit (I've already built a number of flight Sim cockpits). I looked at the designs and although they were good, but I wanted something different, I thought it had to at least look similar to a car cockpit. So I used our Touring cars (Bathurst 1000 racing) as my "style" I also just happen to have a CNC with Aspire software in my garage so i started to design.... I styled the front to look like a touring car, (falcon or commodore) with a southern cross logo on the front with the seat going to have the HDT lion and helmet. (I haven't built the seat yet), I decided on the logo because its a good design and one I can do on my CNC. I made a few mistakes so far which I fixed some last night, moving the wheel back 200mm. This is a prototype I may sell it and make another. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome. The third image is my being impatient and testing before I put a seat in, glad I did as the wheel was too far back (more laid back like an F1.) I wanted more upright. I sat a few friends down with the CAR goggles on and I think the screams said it all.(from the ladies), the guy who tried (Mitch 20) said "Wooooow, this is the shit, love it" So this weekend I move it to the downstairs lounge before the wife realises, and work out a good way of covering it when not in use. I think getting everyone to try it also it to the wife.... For once I have a degree of WAF.

I was lucky enough to get to test a pre release version of Shaun Clarkes latest mod for Assetto Corsa and so put my thoughts about it on video while racing it around the Nurburgring Sprint track. I cant wait for the mod to go live and for others to have as much fun with it as i did in this video. Jason.

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner at sim racing, i've always like car games and recently decided to take the plunge as it will always be cheaper than buying a Porsche or racing at your "local" track. Long story short, i've read various forums, reviews, youtube videos and virtual reality seemed like the holy grail. To me it ticked all the boxes : "cheap" (vs triple screen), immersive, not much space required. So i went for it and purchased an Oculus after the price drop a few weeks ago. Well, i spend 3 days trying various settings and i ended up sending back to Amazon the Oculus. Too much strain on my eyes, i have no idea why as it doesn't seem to affect anyone else? Secondly, it is horribly pixeled. Again i'm a bit surprised, i don't own a 4k screen and i've been gaming for 20 years so it's not like i'm used to 4k shiny max pixel all over the place. And yet i couldn't bear the pixalisation. I am truly curious because i feel i might have been missing something here, is there any magical button i've missed? Could it be my Oculus was "damaged" or... I don't know, i can't find many people who disliked this device for sim racing so i am really confused. (Yes i did try the SS and pixel density within the debugger). I so wish someone would tell me i've been doing it all wrong and it is still the best device to get for sim racing...

Interview with maker of pro level motion simulators for VR racing
racinginvr posted a topic in Sim Racing Rigs / Cockpit
Hi All, Hope you don't mind that I share my interview with the founder and chief engineer of VR Motion Labs, LLC, a Boston based company, maker of pro level motion simulators ($25K+) specialized in VR Racing simulations. They claim that their latest product is able to simulate acceleration, de-acceleration, cornering g-force, road surface and suspension characteristics, and even vehicle traction loss. Here's the interview: http://racinginvr.com/2017/08/18/called-kinesthesia-interview-vr-motion-labs-founder-chief-engineer-r-e-moore-jr/787 I'm not their PR guy and not advertising them, I was just curious about their technology and found it interesting to talk to the founder Mr. Bob Moore, and published it on my site. Maybe you'll find it interesting, too. (I also recommend reading my other interviews with VR racing pilots.) Thanks for your time! -

I have seen where you can get into data files and change it, but is there a way to supersample in game? Would be easier especially while wearing the Rift. Thanks.
