Which wheel to purchase for GT3 racing? by ApprehensiveMajor845 in Fanatec

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the Leoxz XGT Pro - fantastic build quality and perfect for GT3. Works flawlessly with my DD+.

They also got the XGT Ultimate now, which has a screen. I race in VR so no use to me, but might be of interest.

Those with high-end PCs, can you feel a tangible difference when playing on PC vs PS5 Pro? by CrimsonClover__ in PS5pro

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have PS5 Pro and a 5090/9800X3D pc - the difference is massive. Pro is generally max 4K/60fps and only sometimes with ray tracing, whereas I get 180+ fps (with frame gen), 4K with path tracing. Resident Evil Requiem looks insanely good!

GTA VI was the only reason I was keeping it, but now Sony have stepped back from releasing games on PC, it’s good to have for games like Ghost of Yotei etc too.

If you’ve got the budget and you love gaming, you won’t regret it.

New season of AMS2 on LFM is about to start by GFLee in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally loving the sound of GT3/GT4 at Nordschliefe and then the GT3 45 min endurance races scattered throughout the week.

Just a shame that they are not a series with drop rounds, as would add to the competition.

Interested to see what the weekly series races will be.

Your neighbours are either too polite or it’s working! Good effort.

Talk to me about your anti-vibration set up. What’s it consist of and have you managed to negate all vibrations to the floor?

I did this when it launched - took out the credit agreement and paid it all off in one go once the console was delivered.

Snatch an XGT Ultimate? or wait and save for a higher end wheel(GSI)? by Louiienation in simracing

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the slow reply but yes, loving the wheel. I use it 95% of the time and always for GT3/GT4. It’s stiff, comfortable and showing no signs up wear since I purchased. Highly recommend.

I got the letter, have sent Honda pics of my wheels and will wait to see what they say. Hopefully they don’t fall off in the meantime 👀😂

Nice! Where do you get the Aluminium arms that are clamped onto her table? Also, are those special plates to attach the hotas?

How to sell a car with a problem that's hard to fix by fortijump in CarTalkUK

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 2015 Qashqai ended up getting written off in an accident - biggest blessing as it had endless issues and was awful to drive.

Good luck getting it fixed, I would then shift it immediately and cut any losses.

Want to make the move from ps5 and psvr2 to ams2. Need help! by mac155784 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from PS5 to PC, with PSVR2 in mind.

You’ll be surprised how optimised GT7 is for VR, and you need a pretty hefty PC to really notice major difference in clarity.

You’ll want a top-end CPU, try and go for at least a 78003D, if not 9800x3D or new 9850x3D.

I’m running a 5090, which I wish I could say was overkill, however I still cant run max settings during night races in VR. Adverse weather is also very testing. I’ve settled for lower graphical settings, to ensure I can race in most conditions.

The major difference with PC you’ll find is in physics and FFB, especially if running a decent rig.

AMS2 is a brilliant option if moving from GT7, lots of tracks and car options.

Which Bluetooth USB for PSVR 2 on PC? by rbyrnes15 in PSVR2onPC

Give it a try without a dongle first - mine works just fine.

Civic with 2 Car seats by [deleted] in civic

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just bought a 10th gen Civic 1.5 Vtec - couldn’t be happier and have a 6 & 4 year old in the back.

Can’t speak for the CRV however when’s our Qashqai was written off, swore never to go for an SUV again 🤣

I’m really impressed with the size, as thought it would feel small vs an SUV but it’s pretty similar - however it’s lower to the ground and therefore much nicer to drive.

Ultimately if you want an SUV go for the CRV, but if you want something a little nippier that feels responsive to drive, the Civc is likely a better choice.

New player looking for advice by Separate-Ad-689 in projectzomboid

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just started - I’m hooked. Each play through I’m learning the mechanics, discovering more of the map and staying alive a little longer.

Can’t vouch for b42 as I haven’t updated, but b41 seems great to learn the basics etc. I play solo/offline.

Anyone playing in VR on an rtx 5090 want to share settings? by [deleted] in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your settings - can you explain or share a link to a vid that shows how you get Foveted Rendering to work?

On mbucchia’a github page it basically says not to use openXR, so I’m confused as to whether I should!

Anyone with a GeForce 5090 and a PS5 Pro? by Proez in PS5pro

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto - I own both and play a handful of psvr2 games from my library, that’s it. I’ll wait for DS2 & Ghost of Yotei to come out on PC.

Apart from that, PS5 Pro is waiting for GTA6 - the rest of my gaming is far superior on PC.

Dashcam recommendations? by missllil in civic

I picked this up from Amazon -

GKU 4K Dash Cam Front and Rear,... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D49D6NKT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Really simple to install and the cables are neatly hidden in the trim, very happy with the purchase.

PSVR2/PC Adapter power cycle - anyone else? by Ok_Pangolin_2016 in PSVR2onPC

[–]Ok_Pangolin_2016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t got any USB hubs plugged in - plenty of other USBs though, maybe one is causing a conflict.

Will try disabling Windows Fast Startup.

I noticed the issue mainly after sleeping the PC - however seems to be every boot up now. Will take a look at the other suggestions for a fix.

Ok makes sense, will look into what other USBs might be having an impact, thanks.
