That's exactly what I said when I was swinging a 2lb mallet at the accord seat brackets to knock them in line with the seat rails
You. You are the racecar master.
Live reaction of me on the back straight of nurburgring
Oh Nurburgring. How I love that green hell. Especially in modded assetto, at night, in the rain...
i wish they made this kind of thing for mech games, and that there were enough mech games to justify it. i have been chasing the cockpit dragon ever since playing the mechwarrior 4 pods at dave and busters as a child.
Amusingly I also had one of these
Still have it somewhere. Very plastic but could probably be used as nice inspiration on building a more solid metal one. Could be done if you got the parts machined. Sim race guys are fucking lunatics making shit, I am sure there is an option for mech stuff if you go hard enough
Any other drivers here?
I have an accuforce too!
DM me if you're interested in an iRacing league.
Hell yeah! I just got the software license today for sim commander. Put like 5 minutes in doing laps on it. Unbelievable improvement from running raw iracing ffb lol. I'm incredibly sad I'm at work for another 3 hours till I get to go tinker with it. It blew me away how much better it was with the base cloud profiles it loaded in. Also what the fuck I did not know it had a trueforce like function with engine RPMs, kinda rules.
Haha Sim Commander has some real "how did one guy make it do all this stuff?" energy.
I have a T150 and a foldable stand in my closet (not a huge amount of room which is why I wanted a setup I can store easily). I was just sitting down to play one day and received an out of hours "emergency" call where my boss demanded something be fixed (he had a week to review it and didn't do it until the last minute). I was up until 3 fixing it ajd haven't touched my racing wheel for like a year and a half since
I should take it out again
Not sure what kind of driving you were into, but if you haven't done iRacing, I highly suggest it. Yes, it is VERY expensive if you get into it, but there is plenty to do with just a subscription.
It's the cleanest racing around and it's license system kind of adds a bit of purpose.
A car is 12 bux and a track is 15, and that's on top of a 12 dollar a month subscription, but the sub is really for stewardship. You can literally report people for intentionally wrecking/chat abuse and they will get banned lol.
I popped on VR and subbed again when I was still on my g29 and it just blew me away how fun close battles were in the miata.
Nobody in assetto competitione? I love VR racing with hapic wheel in asseto and eaf1 but never did iracing
Just have to jump through extra hoops for good racing in ACC. Join LFM or some league. Iracing is pretty straightforward. Also ACC is straight up terrible in VR lol, really hoping the new AC helps that.
I just got a Moza R5 bundle. DD >>>>> belt or gear systems. It works great but my setup sucks.
Needs a VR headset. For me its pretty much mandatory, in 2d even with hundreds of hours racing i still crash into walls and misjudge corners and with VR that problem just disappears and I suddenly just start cornering perfectly.
Currently playing lots of GT7 and Dirt Rally. Dirt Rally is my comfort game, when I play I enter a trance and forget the universe exists. Can't wait for the racenet servers to be shut off rendering it unplayable!!!!
I just got into dirt 2 last week and I've already clocked 25 hours! I play with my quest pro with a rig pretty close to this, but I don't have a screen. Tho I kinda want to set one up just to make it easier to have my friends try it out.
I actually do race in VR on a reverb g2, the screen is there just in case for fidgeting with setting or whatever. In this case I was Watching the fights while mounting the wheel lol. It's on an arm so I swing it over to my desk when I'm not racing. Bout to also mount a 65" kinda busted but definitely viable TV to my wall to put live timings for WEC races on!
I actually have hundreds of hours in DR 2.0 on controller, as I don't have a handbrake/sequential shifter yet so I don't feel totally comfortable. Done a little bit of richard burns rally though and that shit is wild lol.
At least there's EA WRC after dr2.0...too bad it runs like dogwater lol.
Bought WRC yesterday but haven't downloaded it yet. Whats the prognosis doc will it run on a 3080?
I don't think it has VR support yet? I picked it up a few months ago and returned it when I realized it didn't have VR support.
https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-wrc/wrc/news/vr-faq
Apparently it got added in April, has a separate launch option for VR. Will try it out
I have a 3080 also, so let me know how it runs.
Wow that was bad. 2d it runs fine on ultra preset but in VR it chugs. Managed to run smoothly on medium preset but then the game looks cursed and lower fidelity than dirt rally 1.
Even on ultra the graphics just look weird. Granted it was rainy but it just looks wonky.
Might see if i can tweak it but first impressions aren't great.
Edit: So i tried all three games just to compare, WRC is by far the worst presentation, it looks like the TAA doesnt actually render with depth so adds this weird shimmer in front of everything, game is blurry as hell. Dirt rally 1 and 2 look great in comparison idk wtf they did but it aint good. Played all settings on high, DLSS set to quality (doesnt look that different to off), foveated rendering set to 1. Just looks really bad
Well that's disappointing. Thanks for the feedback. I don't think I'll be wasting my time with it yet. I'll just keep playing dirt 2 and give them some time to work it out.
Literally the best menu in all of racing games imo. Timeless.
I actually do run some modded richard burns rally as well, it's just quite janky. Ea WRC is also pretty ok but kinda weird in vr
What cockpit do you have?
Simlab gt1 evo. Microcenter been running wild deals on em
It sucks that they always have the best deals in-store. Closest one to me is like 7 hours away
