Racing sims and NVidia 3D vision? Any good?
Ah. Makes sense. I would expect Vsync to be a requirement for stereo 3d
vision...
But I can't believe game houses still let vsync "lock" the physics model
because there really is no need to.

Racing sims and NVidia 3D vision? Any good?
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...

iRacing - Throttle-On Braking with the F-Mazda
Simulating a bottom-out situation is extremely difficult since you go
from a well-controlled physics environment (suspension movement being
controlled in a predictable and "calculatable" way), to a...

iRacing - Throttle-On Braking with the F-Mazda
The traditional european way of braking is the heel-toe technique, i.e.
braking with your heel as you throttle with your toe.
The traditional american way of scrubbing off speed is just to stomp...

Yeah, I know: A bunch of the sim racing guys are exploiters, and would

iRacing: The race that changed my mind!
The braking early bit is only approprioate when the lapper moves to your

before turn-in, and you'll make the turn with full...

iRacing: The race that changed my mind!
A pass, for position or lapping, should always be performed on the
inside, and never on the outside. Outside passing will cause accidents
all the time, and this will make everyone frustrated.

I disagree; I would say that the sensation of speed actually *is* one of

What kind of sensory input do you have when out on the RL track? You...

The muscle accuracy of your left foot needs some heavy practice in order
to do a good job at braking. That'll come around eventually.
But, and this is important: You need not hover your left foot...
