iRacing

Spils, I'm fairly sure the physics and framerate aren't linked in any way, the physics iirc runs at 360Hz, or attempts to but dependent on CPU power.

The low framerate just means that you miss or get delayed information about what the car is doing, which is what leads to the slides and mistakes.
 
Mines at the standard fov butbim going to have a play at changing it later to see what happens. Anyone use the motion view setups where the head tilts in car but the horizon remains level? Gives a good impression but not sure if it's going to make me quicker or not.
 
I got my G27 yesterday it's really just a more refined G25 but the extra buttons are great and the h-shifting is improved, the actual wheel rim is a little thicker which i prefer and the force feedback isnt as aggresive as the g25 it feels smoother and you dont get the "notchy" feeling from it, i dont know about the pedals as they are still in the box as i'm using my clubsports which i am growing to love more each day, next step 3 monitors :p
 
Im suprised you don't think the g27 has notchy feel, that's the only thing I don't like about my g27...

3 screens is such a worth while upgarde mate...

Chill G, nobody said it is your fault, but not everyone in this thread as a 580gtx sli setup and a i7. Your taking to this heart now when all i was trying to do was say to others press F check your frames if they spike try reducing some graphics settings till it stops spiking then do a few laps, see if it helps.

The original quote wasn't aimed at you the second quote wasn't aimed at you none of this was ever aimed at you, you also don't understand half of it lol so lets just forget it hey before you throw the toys out the pram.

Hug ? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I've got 2 monitors, I keep thinking about a 3rd. Problem is I can no longer get the same Samsung monitor with the extra high rez, 2048x on a 23", and so I'm reluctant to replace them.

I'm not sure if iracing is coded differently to every other game I'm knew to it and G only started getting me hooked a few weeks ago, but a lot of other sims and games Physics calculation are tied directly to fps.

Anyway I'm just going to drop it now as its obviously branching off to somewhere I hadn't intended.

All I know is it as worked for me be it a placebo or not these are the settings ill be using now, as when I changed them back I was back into the 1.33-4's and couldn't go any faster.

on a 24 16:10 screen I'm running between 73-82 depending on car. If that helps

mx5 for me is 73 and perfect.

After doing a bit of reading it sounds like I'm handicapping myself by running too wide a FOV - doh!

I'll try with a reduce FOV and see how I go.

Its a trade off really. High fov you get a better sense of speed. The Lower you get the more realstic the view the easier it is for me to stick the inside tire on the curb and i can race closer as i can judge the distance to the car infront and where my bumper is. It also gives you more time to judge the braking point and turn in as everything comes a little slower.

Dont go to low as you loose all sense of speed. I start high do a few laps then come down to a happy medium.

Mx5 73 , srt 82 caddy 74-80 still not happy with my fov yet. I Need it somewhere around there.
