Hello About two weeks ago, Hurricane Ike managed to sweep through our region of the country. In doing so, it blew a tree branch down and it crashed through a corner of our home opening it to the elements. This was to my office and it literally blew everything in my ROLODEX file to all...

I'm just getting back into sim racing after a very, very long layoff. Back in the day, I was active in MARA (which hopefully some of you remember) racing mainly with GPL. I even served as official scorekeeper for a season or two. In my brief research, I see that the racing sim landscape has...

Mario Petrinovic: Mario Petrinovic: Ha, I found one important mistake that I've made. I had axis sensitivity on the default value in Logitech Profiler (50%). It should actually be 100%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, it...

Should be 1.000000. Now I am using: In Logitech drivers 100/100/100/Centering Spring should be somewhere around 60 on my system. In-game 50.0/50%. So, iRacing made three mistakes: - unlinearity - locked in-game Damper - messing up with "cockpitLookDeadZone".

Ok, finaly I got it. "The trick" is to put Centering Spring at 0%, and adjust "cockpitLookDeadZone". On my system it is around 0.015300. Centering Spring and cockpitLook DeadZone adjust themselves in parallel. In other words, for every Centering Spring position there is adequate...

Ok, it looks like I found it. The main thing is that Centering Spring should be at 50%. This is for natural FOV and "cockpitLookDeadZone" at 0.000000. Driver's 100/50/50/50 and in-game 50.0/100% works well. I presume in-game Damper should be at 100%. Everything else is to your...

Ok, I finaly got it. This is what should be the default: - driver: 100/50/50/- - in-game: 50/50 Centering Spring should be adjusted, and on my system it is somewhere around 10%.

"cockpitLookDeadZone" affects Centering Spring BADLY. "cockpitLookDeadZone" should be at 0.000000. It looks like this is another "invention" of iRacing/Papyrus that messes FFB big time, messes it BADLY. Those people DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING *at all*. My god. Well, this is the...

I've been out of simracing for a while, but yesterday I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPIgX8T66ac And damn, I'm impressed!! I see it's for sale on http://rfactor.net/web/rf2/rfactor2-purchase , but it's still beta? Anyone tried it yet? Cheers Andre

Well, with the new build, it looks like it works something I tried before. So, this is what works: Put in-game sliders to 50%. Adjust Overall in Logitech drivers. It looks like this is all. I didn't finish the testing yet, because of this server problems.

Ok, it looks like I've found the secret. First you put everytnig on the default (of course you uncheck "Allow game to adjust settings", and you put wheel radius at 900), this means everything on 100% in Logitech drivers. Good thing is, this works even with un-natural FOV, and with...

We see that iRacing is introducing new controllers into the simulation. I wonder if, for these new controllers, they will also introduce "their own" way those controllers are supposed to work (just like in the case of FFB), because "they know better" than the ones who designed those...

Well, if you put five sliders at the same percentage (I like it at 84%), you get really good FFB. Only I have to adjust Centering Spring.

New development. First, Logitech profiler is a no-no. Regarding FFB, I got it, finaly. The multiplier of Overall and Spring/Damper must be the same for different Overall positions. On my system it is 46% (100% Overall x 46% Damper/Spring = 46%). This means that those three can be...

Mario Petrinovic: Well, I am having 123/100/100/50 (I am still searching for "the right" Overall, this isn't the final one, probably "the right" one will be a little bit stronger), "Allow..." unchecked, in-game 20.0/50, linear, cockpitLookDeadZone 0.000000, profiler sensitivity...

Well, I am having 123/100/100/50 (I am still searching for "the right" Overall, this isn't the final one, probably "the right" one will be a little bit stronger), "Allow..." unchecked, in-game 20.0/50, linear, cockpitLookDeadZone 0.000000, profiler sensitivity 50%. I am testing with...

Project C.A.R.S. has just announced that they have procured licenses for four RUF engineered Porsches: RUF CTR “Yellowbird” (1987) RUF CTR 3 (2012) RUF Rt 12R (2012) RUF RGT-8 (2012) There was also an announcement (tease actually :)) that a major German manufacturer has contacted Project...

If you've been thinking about joining Project C.A.R.S, then now is the time to do it. The project has now raised 3,385,000 euro, with over 350,000 euro pouring in just this month (and the month isn't over). With only 365,000 euro left to finish the funding, the expectation is that with the...

Instead of cashing out and buying a unit, does anyone here have any experience with the NVidia IR transmitted 3D vision goggles? Is it hard on the GPU? CPU? Flicker? Useful in racing sims? Is it good on LCDs? Any flicker? FPS drop? I would expect the image to flicker, since the shutters actually...

Last week, the multiplayer code was released to the upper tier members. Last night, the number of eligible players was increased to "Full Member" and above. Although still fairly bare-bones in terms of features, the actual netcode is surprisingly good. I've had lots of good side-by-side racing...
