Assetto Corsa finally got official OpenVR support! If you have a Vive you can use this instead of emulating the Oculus software and you'll get a few more FPS.
I'm still amazed at how real racing feels in VR. I can only remember two times while racing with a monitor that I wasn't thinking about playing a video game and actually felt like I was driving my car, but in VR the game is almost removed completely. I actually feel like I'm driving a car and can tap into that muscle memory better even with my poor DFGT pedals. I will say though that the resolution on the current headsets isn't great, so it's hard to see corners coming up from in the distance, especially ones after a long straight -- sometimes you don't have time to react like you could with real-life vision. If you're thinking about getting into VR right now, I'd probably wait for the next generation of headsets. Or you could jump in now and sell your headset and graphics card when the next gen of graphics card releases like I plan to do. Can't wait for 4K 120FPS.

tfw rf1 still gets more mods than rf2
Tyler Edwards
can you use VR in rfactor?
otherwise it's just useless
Tyler Clark
Even if they wanted to hire me I make more than SMS would pay me
Asher Evans

Levi Perez
If I start sending Ian Bell abuse will he buy me a Vive* so I can maintain my position as Liverpools Top Sim Racer?
*I promise it will not be used exclusively for VR Kanojo
Colton Nelson
Shit guys, rf2 saved......
William Martinez
Well, considering the shitload of parameters rf2 has, and that most modders don't even understand what they do, that's not a surprise.

if there are controls in rfactor to move camera in 6dof (and there surely are such controls, you can do it from keyboard and through trackIR), there is no reason for it not to work. But it would require some love - buying tridef3d for 3d sbs rendering, shitload of nerdic configuration, setting right fov, right camera movement curves.
You can play anything in VR, it's just that sometimes you need to spend a lot of time to do this right and results might still look like crap.
Benjamin Sullivan
i have been using that one for too long compared to how awful it is to drive.
Dominic Rogers
Nice, i also made a skin but its shit tier compared to this
Kevin Lewis
Looks good fellow ferrari bro. I like that pattern.
Eli Clark
How lucky, you actually got the name right.
Cooper Carter
It's actually very cool mate, I'm a sucker for abstract patterns.
Isaac Lopez
is it bad to say I think BeamNG has the most realistic driving physics?
Cameron Rodriguez
beamng has fantastic shitbox simulation at this point, nothing else really represents how fucked up a car can get from a harsh walltap or anything like that
Wyatt Collins
The actual driving of Beam.NG is horrendous.
The way they model deformation and crashes is fantastic.
Lincoln Turner
i disagree on that, it's gotten a lot better over time
Alexander Perry
how do you find peripheral vision? all current headsets (i think) essentially show a 8:9 display for each eye so horizontal fov is really restricted. you really have to turn your head a lot to see the passenger side mirror at all. i heard there are some prototype headsets out there which use the two screens rotated for better horizontal fov, which is more important than vertical fov in sim racing.
it doesn't help that the mirrors themselves in AC are not adjustable and in the porsche cup car the sides of the headrest almost completely block out the right side window and wing mirror when you turn to look at it (webm related). this has got me into some scrapes with other cars lurking in my blind spots but fortunately my /ovg/ Participation Points™ remain intact.
also the mirrors themselves are only rendered in 2D which is not good for immershuns.
i've got it working in rfactor with mods (i.e. GSCE) but had to use an old oculus runtime that supports extended mode which has been removed in newer runtimes and had various annoyances compared to direct mode. i presume you can do similar with the vive but not sure. in any case it's a pain to set up and navigating the UI is an even bigger pain.

this will make u think 2wice before u crash me out agian mamma fucker....
Blake Gonzalez
reinforced chassis? heh, thats cheatin...
Ethan Miller
Some(none) of you are alright. Don't race at gateway with the GT3s.
For this race I'm experimenting with skin packs. Find all the resources (2D templates, 3D models for PS 3D painting) here: mega.nz/#F!kNEXQKZY!Z9n5zDBo36sHR7hRPfuCBg You can submit your skins at [email protected], deadline is 26/03/2016 1 PM GMT
PRO TIP: go into the setup page, remove a bit of downforce and increase the final gear ratio until the car tops at 270-280 kph down the big straight. You'll be eaten alive otherwise.
Jeremiah Johnson
>Hockenheim old or new?
Cooper Cook
new going by the map on the liveracers
Elijah Ward
No, BeamNG is a pretty accurate simulation of driving 70s and 80s shitboxes on broken, shitty roads. I wish more sims had a couple of terrible cars to play with along side the sports cars, super cars and single seaters that everyone ignores in favour of GT3.
Kevin Hernandez
>15 times on the liveracers >several times off pace >aspirationswinslol again >talent pool so dry funny greek man is second
Just kill it. Pull the trigger and lets do something in AC next week.
Eli Long
or pick some better tracks

Practice is a meme
Daniel Morgan
The 6 hours of Interlagos from P1-Gaming is about to start. We're repesenting /ovg/ in the GT3 class with the SLS.
I'm leaving but I'll make sure to check out your progress through the afternoon.
godspeed WAT

It's like watching OVGT3
Landon Adams
Give me an off-road sim where you drive 4x4 Toyotas and Jeeps, change diff locks and switch transfer cases and navigate through checkpoints placed between almost vertical slopes, tight mountain cracks and bumpy plains while a dude or dudette paces you from the passenger seat
F1 2016 is 60% off. Is it worth a buy? How is the career mode.
Jordan Russell
that was some low quality memeposting in the youtube chat

they're not wrong

Barney Gumballs did nothing wrong

15 MINUTES TO GT3 BOYS LETS GO
PICK YOUR GT3FU AND RACE IT
Jordan Green
I saw these on numeral occasions and at the 24h of spa francorchamps a couple of years ago, impressive machines but they got utterly destroyed by all the german competition. Not sure if they where driving in the same class though, i think it was driving with the mustangs in that race, those stangs made my ears bleed.
Nathaniel Rivera
you got your cars mixed up buddy
its ok though, all z4 gt3 fans are my friends
Cameron White
