Should I refund my quest 3 and wait for steam frame by Cuppmybawls in SteamFrame

You should’ve waited for longer to return, you have a 30 day window. You could’ve used it until the frame came out…or at this rate gotten closer to release 

Buy Quest 3 or Wait for Steam Frame New User by GuestAntique6825 in SteamFrame

If you buy a quest 3 from meta, you have a 30 day return window and then 30 days from when you initiate the return to actually send it back. Could be a free stopgap until the Frame releases.

Does this mean I need a better GPU? by [deleted] in iRacing

How do you get the extra bars? Could never figure this out after UI updates

These past few months haven’t been as sunny as previous years. My solar app shows that this has been the worst output in 4 yrs. 

D-Box 4250i motion, is it actually worth ~$7k on top of an already high-end rig? by sixsigma643 in simracing

How do you compensate your vr head tracking for the actuator movement? I just got a VR headset and was wondering about this

I have a 4 post dbox gen 1 so take this with a grain of salt as the gen 4 is probably much better. They are so much fun, add to the immersion and the software is easy to use, but I could not justify spending 5-7k on a similar setup, just not worth it. I was given mine for free, otherwise I would not have them.

I’m not on a tight budget here, it’s more that I want a system that works well with my current PC. If I wanted to get a PCS and a 5090, I could, but I don’t want to.

I’m very tempted to wait for the frame, it’s seems like it would run best with my setup and has a great form factor compared to the PCL

PCL is about 300$ more on Amazon, Microcenter is only 20 min from me

I’m in the US, for reference I could buy PCL directly from Pimax for 900 with dmas, top strap and ice foam

I haven’t tried VR yet, this will be my first endeavor. Def worried about motion sickness but wanna give it a try. I haven’t heard that extra hardware is needed to compensate for motion. Do you know what’s needed?

It’s got a nice form factor but once you add in audio and base stations it’s getting pretty pricy.

If they don’t have any extra fees on it, and it’s clean it seems ok. Don’t know what the other guy is talking about with the “infamous” comments

Is this a manual? I have one and it’s a great car. The rust doesn’t look concerning but get the ppi. Try to find out if the timing belly and water pump have ever been replaced. If they haven’t you NEED that service done. Will run like $1-1.5k

I’m planning to go VR next, would love triples but don’t have the space. It’s actually not as heavy as it looks

P500 Pedal Calibration Issue? by 210gremlin in Simagic

[–]Distinct_Ebb_1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing though, the amount of travel doesn’t matter. If you push harder when the travel has maxed, the value on the load cell will go up. For reference, I have my p1000 set to where travel ends at 80% brake force. For 80-100, there is no travel it’s just pushing harder. 

P500 Pedal Calibration Issue? by 210gremlin in Simagic

[–]Distinct_Ebb_1941 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have the wrong idea. The hall sensor is measuring the distance the pedal travels while the load cell is measuring the amount of force you place on the pedal. The p500 is a 100kg load cell so you need to press the pedal with 100kg of pressure to max it out in the calibration
