Eyud posted:That whole video is based on the assumption that a lower FOV is better but he never explains why or provides any evidence. If he has compared lap times, how much time and practice did he give to testing higher FOVs? How long does it take for someone to fully adjust to a different FOV? He talks about how you shouldn't rely on the FOV to know when a car is alongside anyway, and how the view is totally fine once you get used to it, but isn't that true for any FOV? I understand the whole "mathematically correct" angle, I'm just not convinced it's the most important consideration (at least for single screen setups). Maybe try watching it again? He does explain why it is better. If you don't want to watch again, then I'll tell you. A correct (low) FOV makes the sim seem slow, but this is actually the correct speed. It makes things be scaled correctly, so you can gauge distances and the size of objects the same way you would in real life. It also makes the part of the screen you're looking at larger. With a wide FOV, the part of the track ahead of you is crammed into a small portion of the screen. This may make it look like you're going really fast, but it's actually hurting you. Also, a wider FOV usually only adds in the A pillar and maybe more of the dash, so your screen real estate is taken up by nothing useful and you can actually see less than with a smaller FOV.

Driving across slight bumps in the track is felt pretty harshly in my wheel, e.g. driving the SRF around LRP feels pretty rough even when I'm just on the asphalt. Are my FFB settings out of wack or is it working as intended you think?

FFB strength is also different in different vehicles, Indy is much stiffer than the cup cars / Trucks

I have a G29. Doesn't seem to have as many software options as the 27 or I can't find them. I have it on 900 degrees, spring off, sens 50% which is default. In game I have linear off, osc dampening off, strength 9.7 (auto. Had 7.2 before) in the SRF at LRP, dampening 10%, min force 13% (I believe some software test told me those two). I mean the bumps are clearly bumps in the track and do give me information, just feels a bit rough. Hulebr00670065006e fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Feb 23, 2018 |

iRacing does tend towards a very firm steering feel. Consider that most of the wheels upgrading from the G29 are designed to provide even stronger feedback (i.e. giant rear end direct-acting motors). Some of it is a car/track combo. DW12 around any sort of rough track will really make your wheel work for it.

When I used a G25 it was harsher in iracing than what I have now, I think it's the gear driven FFB that does it

2018 DW12 out of nowhere.  I was already planning on jumping back in after spending a season and a half binging on FPS games, but that just sealed it.

Gooncar: 2018 starts  Sunday 11th Preseason warmup race I reckon, so thinking of something with the lowest possible barrier to entry. Old DW12 at Old Pocono?

MX-5s at Summit were good as hell yesterday, ending with me vs Coja swapping places on the last lap through about 4 corners in a row. So we're going to do a full season of this, after Pocono in the DW12 next week. Calendar: DW12 @ Pocono (March 11th, preseason) Okayama (March 18th) Lime Rock (March 25th) Summit Point (April 1st) Laguna Seca (April 8th) New Hampshire double header! (April 15th) Yes it's all free content except for the last race. No excuses

What is this week 13 business? Right now I'm in line for a promotion. Should I just chill for a week and run the non official stuff if I decide to play?

Should I just chill for a week and run the non official stuff if I decide to play? week 13 is a handful of 'fun' races that don't count at all, as well as one or two official series races still available for those just on the brink of earning a promotion. So : go have fun.

If you are worried about a promotion, and you have hit the MPR and SR requirements, then you should avoid official Week 13 races like the plague. Stick to the unofficial races and don't get too angry when poo poo goes sideways.

The Week 13 lineup appears to be pretty boring this time around, the only cool thing is the Radicals being one of the official series so maybe they could get some participation for a change.

I'd that the first corner? I like that we were able to make contact but were still able to keep racing. The skip is fun and all, but I think we need a car that is more forgiving of contact.

The stewards reviewed it and welp sorry, 'causing a collision' 10s time penalty looks like I won after all

Hello everyone since Vando hasn't I thought that I'd post that we're having a race in the DW12 at Old Pocono - starts in five minutes (9:30pm GMT; 5:30pm EDT); with a twenty minute practice you have to be in before 9:50/5:50 to get in the race. Its a thirty minute race; with the race starting around 10pm/6pm. Car and track are now both free: the DW12 is a great car and very well suited to Pocono which is a unique oval and very very fun in the DW12. Crazy fast but that's what makes it fun!

God I am terrible in the MX5. I had no idea what I was doing, on a layout I'd never run before. Then, for some reason I chose to do laundry rather than practice. Still worth it for the typical Gooncar shenanigans happening way ahead of me. Hope to do it again next week!

You have to be a very good driver to extract good lap times from it because it will punish you for not taking corners right or losing too much speed before coming out onto a straight.

Man I can't wait till I'm done with school this winter and reupping my subscription is worthwhile and realistic. I've got a great base of road cars in the mx5, skip, and 911 cup. Might also buy the frenault, but I'll probably focus on buying tracks for a while, because C is about where my talent runs out for controlling the cars reliably, and I wanna get more gooder before stepping any higher. Plus the mx5 is fun as gently caress, especially when you don't have to worry about setup in the rookie matches (just have to worry about the rookies)
