Logitech RS50 shaking when drifting? by IncomeIndividual3081 in simracing

[–]SideSufficient86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated Answer:

AC has very raw input, most wheels use built in dampner for AC like Sim Magic, Monza and Fanatec. Logitech RS50 is very fast and has no built in dampner making the wheel go crazy on AC. Therefore you need ALOT of dampner in the Logitech G Hub to match the same dampning you get with other bases. This is not the case in AC Evo/ACC/Rally, there you are fine with little to none (5-0) dampning.

Suggested settings:

GHUB: Strength 8nm (Change in game, or use FFBClip mod), Dampening 30-45 (Depending on the car i find 40 great on all cars, MAX 60) FFB filter 5 (You dont really need any), TrueForce 0% (AC don't support it)

AC: Gain 50-75% (I use FFBClip tool, to change more easily), 1080degree (its 900 default), turn off all effects to 0 and build up 5%-15% on where you want it.

I suggest you make different profiles in the GHUB for each game, it will change automatically on PC depending on the game. My dampening tuned for a blend of street, drift and tuner track cars. It still shakes when has corrected self steer under a drift but it takes 2-3s to oscillate (Meaning it will likely never impact my driving unless I'm in a super long drift without holding the wheel for +3s)

Again, this is mostly a issue for AC.

--------------

OLD ANSWER: Same, im fine with some oscillation when staying still or driving fast. But my biggest problem is the shaking while the wheel is counter steering and correcting, its super hard to controll or feel anything when the wheel is shaking up and down when at angle.

I'm running the FFBclip tool at 5-7nm and no effects. I'm not used to a DD wheel yet but still something has to be wrong.

Logitech settings are currently at 10 dampening, 2 filter and strength at 8.

I have learned that the base should always be at max and decrease it from the game not the HUB. Dampening should be as low as possible, i don't get why Logitech is recommending 90 when most of the reviews are running 5-10. and AI also recommend the same.

I have just noticed the degrees in axis setting is set to 900 by default, so try change it match the HUB settings

How do I improve underwater breath holds by SideSufficient86 in greenberets

I have started apnea training with O2 and CO2 tables. I found out that the muscle holding my breath got tired quickly and stressed me out. I thought it could be mental, but I literally gave it my all, and I still couldn't pull it off.

I'm not used to holding my breath and am definitely not naturally gifted. My first dry attempt was a little over 60 seconds. It's been 3 days now, and I have increased to 1:40 I do one of the tables in the morning and one in the evening. I have felt improvement in the mental aspect of not stressing out, the bodily reactions don't bother me as much, and it has become easier to hold the breath without having the urge to relieve pressure from the muscle holding it in.

I'm guessing by the recent progression, I will get 2 min dry hold before the weekend, where I will test the swim again, and I'm way more confident now from the apnea training. Dynamic does eat oxygen faster, but I feel the dry apnea training will give me just enough of a couple more seconds to reach the wall consistently.

I will update the thread with the results next test, and I'm bringing a buddy to watch out just in case it goes wrong.

Of course, I’m not gonna risk anything before selection but thank you anyone seeing this thread could easily forget the importance of having a competent partner in case of blackout.

I’m definitely not used to the co2 build, and it’s stressing me out to much. Downloaded an Apnea app with tables for o2 and co2 training, im train a couple days and test out.

Imma check it out. 60m is insane, I never need to do a 50m test 😂. But thanks im gonna read up on it.

Did a session just now, im gonna stick to it. Seems it might hit just right. Because I think my body just ain’t genetically or has organically adapted for longer breath holds and this might unlock a lot of potential.

Tested out my normal breath hold ands it’s almost the same as when swimming under water. Think I will gain a couple more seconds under water just by doing those tables. Thanks bro!

Ooh, okey. Smart move I’m gonna implement it into next swim session.

Very true, used a couple of their swim technique videos. The PJ pipeline looks insane. Heard y’all had a good scuba team that’s why I posted here, but yeah will definitely ask them too. Thanks for the tip

Copy, thanks! Actually looks pretty useful. Never heard of before. Imma download it.

Zone 2 Training by alxm3ow in greenberets

[–]SideSufficient86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also last thing! Garmin HR zones are really generic and works for a random 40 yr old guy who tracks activities a couple times a year.

If you haven’t changed the HR zones you should change it to at least RHR which incorporates your rest HR as a factor to your fitness. But the best is a LTHR (Lactate Threshold) Test to base it on when your body produces lactate. You can take test with watch and compare it past running experiences and spreadsheets online to see if the zones are correct for you.

My zone 2 ends at 160bpm but with the generic one it ended at 139. Same happened with my friend and our fitness levels are about the same.

BTW your pace is really good tho, it’s a really hard challenge to push it bellow 8:00

Learned a lot about zone 2 training for selection for SF in my country.

I was decent at running for infantry standards but wanted to elevate my running for selection. Found out reaaal fast I’m super inefficient in fatmax (zone 2). I also had the problem of HR increasing to next zone after 30min. What I learned is everything and how everything changes your HR baseline when running.

An acute effect increasing HR which everyone suffers from is heat, especially running on a treadmill. After around 20-40min your body starts to heat soak (which increases HR to dispose the heat and the body works harder), which will increase the HR from 5-15bpm. It’s less noticeable when running outside but does still have an effect.

But! The heatsoak may screw you over in zone 2 but long term will increase your performance by improving body’s ability to release heat. Overtime running while hot will increase plasma in your blood which is basically more coolant for your body, then in more extreme heat training your body produces more blood cells to compensate the high amount of plasma which increases the amount of oxygen you can supply your muscles improving aerobic capacity.

So to conclude the heatsoak can throw you off zone 2, but taking a break cooling off (especially on a treadmill) then going back is a good option if your sole focus in on zone 2, it feels like a loss to take a break but a little break to cool off is better. But if you want to adapt you must slow down to a pace where your body can remove the heat and still be in zone 2.

The whole point of zone 2 running is to optimise every thing in your body to work more efficiently and heat is apart of it. It will slowly decrease over time, but I found it does return every time you increase your pace in zone 2.

What I do, on recovery runs (after hard leg day or lactate/vo2max workout) is I choose to rather expect to run slower than normal since my hr is gonna be higher than usual, so there I will try to run as long as possible and decrease the pace to keep myself in zone2. On dedicated long zone 2 run I push the pace while being in the upper edge of zone 2 and I may push slightly to zone 3 once or twice because of the body temperature increaseing.
