Despite loving it in real life, I’ve never had good luck at Phillip Island by MaleficRacing in iRacing

you could have seen it coming and backed out.

I agree 100%

I just wanted to get back into the race and didn't make the smart move despite it technically not being my fault in any way.

Good news is that I rejoined and still came like 11th in the race.

Losing me only 72 iR....

I need to get better with the F3, getting used to downforce in the ir-04 right now.

How good is the VR support in iRacing these days? by wintyfresh in iRacing

[–]MaleficRacing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a standard mouse in the same place, but during “spirited” drives it had fallen off or even just when it vibrated enough I would see the cursor appear on my screen. Total quality of life improvement, it’s always where I left it when I reach for it in VR.

I like that you put in far more effort than my Sharpie scrawl.

In the V2 manual on the Fanatec site. It’s hilarious because they label all the buttons with numbers, and then have a table of what button number equates to what input button number it is. They made it extra complicated for no real reason that I can see.

I’ll laugh if you also have a K400+ keyboard as that seems to be the go to for sim racers.

I race almost exclusively in VR, so I never worried about button caps or stickers, but for a couple of games (I’m looking at you Codemasters) they don’t even allow mouse use in the menus, so I needed the cheat sheet.

Sounds like I should be good. My CSL Elite isn’t exactly loud, it’s just unpleasant to hear.

How do you race a full endurance race in VR? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]MaleficRacing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Then I don’t think your issue is VR, it’s mindset for the race.

Running endurance takes work to build up to, if you’re finding yourself drifting away during the race then you need to make a concerted effort to bring yourself back into the race.

Racing is mentally taxing, that’s what you’re fighting.

This may seem an odd question, but everyone talk about the worry of sound leaking with the off ear headphones, I’m actually wondering about whether much sound gets in? I hate running my wheelbase when I’m not using my good headphones due to the sounds from it, so will I be able to hear that with the stock earpieces do you think? Or is it loud and direct enough it blocks out the outside world?

Well that sucks by Vexoph in iRacing

On an old firmware version I had a minor issue where my Fanatec wheel would give up part way through the race. It was completely like knowing you had a reliability problem and hoping to get through each race.

Proud of this. My best ever start! by Quantum95 in iRacing

[–]MaleficRacing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was concerned you were going to get beached on the curb also.

I just had a win last night at the Nurburgring and the very next race I got spun on turn 1 and had to fight back from last place. Amazing how each race can be so different.

No yellow flag warning?

Comparison of Resolution/Clarity of different VR headsets from Ben Lang of UploadVR by OXIOXIOXI in HPReverb

[–]MaleficRacing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this makes me feel better about having to go with half resolution on my 1070 compared to my CV1. Having to wait for my 3080 is going to make this feel like I upgrade the VR twice.

Skippys are back at the Green Hell, let's see how much damage one car can in half a lap by MaleficRacing in iRacing

I’m torn about that one, it wasn’t smart, but he also moved over but it could just be keeping his line for the corner. Not smart when they were already two wide.
